Chapter 3475 — He Meiyue's Identity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"So it is as I thought." Chief Bai sighed helplessly. Knowing Ancestor Xuanchen as he did, the man was indeed capable of anything, and so his displeasure at He Meiyue faded considerably. "Get up and speak. Since we are of the same sect, there is no need for this. Wei Zhao here may be counted your senior brother. Tell us—why did you frame him?"
"I truly am a disciple of Ancestor Xuanchen, ranked tenth. What my real name is, I do not know either. When I was very small, the Master brought me to the Five Luminaries Sect. Later, during an alchemical refinement, I was gravely injured in an explosion, all my meridians severed—it seemed the Master was testing something, and I nearly died. After I recovered, I had no power left, and I was sent to the mortal world. From then on he paid for my schooling and contacted me only through a single channel, and to this day I have never seen my parents. He has always used them to threaten me, making me do his bidding—"
"Testing? The pill you were refining—was it called the Soul-Returning Golden Pill?" Chief Bai asked suddenly.
"Yes—First Grand-Master, you know of it?" He Meiyue was slightly taken aback.
"I know it. Back then I too was injured in an explosion because of that very pill." Chief Bai smiled bitterly, and the look he turned on He Meiyue softened greatly. It seemed that, in seeking to dispose of him all those years ago, Xuanchen had used such a vicious method—and made He Meiyue the sacrificial test subject.
"Ah?" He Meiyue was instantly dumbfounded.
"Very well, let us not speak of that. I studied that pill formula carefully afterward—it is the formula for a seventh-grade or even eighth-grade pill, and cannot possibly be refined. By ordinary means it will surely explode the furnace and cause injury or qi deviation!" Chief Bai waved a hand. "And today's business—was that also forced on you by him?"
"Yes. I argued with him and reasoned with him, but he would not agree. He threatened me with my parents, and I had no choice but to comply." He Meiyue sighed, then said firmly, "But First Grand-Master, I truly do love Bai Weituo, and I want to be with him!"
"Meiyue—" Bai Weituo now regretted striking her. It seemed she had her own hardships; looked at this way, she was a pitiable person too.
"All right, this business is not your fault." Wei Zhao, for his part, thought of Shen Yushu—that girl with a fate no less bitter, controlled for the same reasons by the same sort of people. If Wei Zhao could forgive Shen Yushu, why could he not forgive He Meiyue?
"Thank you—thank you all—" He Meiyue said gratefully.
"He Meiyue, then apart from this matter, have you ever done anything else bad?" Chief Bai nodded and continued questioning.
