Mu Qingqing's voice shook as she recounted the painful memories of her past. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she spoke of her vulnerable youth and powerlessness.
"I was young at that time and had no powers. Everyone who was once loyal to the Mu family had turned their backs on me. They betrayed us and joined the Mo family, helping Mo Qingeh in his vile actions."
"At that time, I didn't know that Mo Qinhe was lying, that he didn't have you two with him. Knowing that I needed to save you both, I obeyed him. I knew I was all alone, and I had to act smart. This was also one of the reasons why I never took any actions against him."
Bai Liyue had no words.
As Bai Liyue listened to her sister's story, she felt a pang of empathy for the pain and suffering that Mu Qingqing had endured. No amount of words could heal the deep wounds that had been inflicted upon her. She embraced her sister tightly, offering her a slow, comforting pat on the back.
