The tension in the room was palpably heightened. Wang Yuling's voice quivered with uncertainty as she pressed further, her eyes locking onto Wei Liuxian's.
"So, are you suggesting that my son was attempting to take his own life?" she demanded.
Wei Liuxian's eyes bore into hers with unyielding determination as he responded, his words carrying the weight of truth.
"No," he replied resolutely, his voice clear and commanding. "He did not have the intention to end his own life, but..." He paused, his eyes filled with a deep sigh. "If he had consumed even slightly more of the Qi Devourer, it could have been fatal. Many people are unaware of the dosage and risk inadvertently taking their own lives."
"He's always been right before my eyes. So how could I have been so blind to what he was doing to himself?" Wang Yuling's voice carried a note of frustration and self-blame.
