It was not until a year ago that she received a text message on her phone, saying that Jiang Yining and Yu Cheng were going to get married. She had caused the death of your mother back then; haven't you ever thought of taking revenge? She stole your father, why don't you steal her man?

The long night passed in the blink of an eye. When Mo Chen got up the next day, both his mom and dad were still at home. His mother placed the breakfast she had prepared for Mo Chen on the table, and then she and his father tidied up to head out.
When they pushed open the giant doors, they finally beheld the full view of the core hall. From the gate to the central platform was a distance of about a hundred paces, yet this stretch was a trestle bridge wide enough for two carriages drawn by four horses each. Beneath the bridge was a fifty-zhag abyss, at the bottom of which countless wooden and bronze mechanisms were twisting, turning, and clicking away.

Cui Yin also ran over from the side. Supporting each other, the two prepared to walk out of this somewhat gloomy and eerie forest first. However, before they had taken many steps, Luo Changsu abruptly came to a halt and gazed ahead.
"Tomorrow noon, five hundred quotas. If our fellow disciples secure them, we will naturally have first access to the benefits and won't have to block the doors and bleed one by one."

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Su Gu glanced at Lexington, looked away, and curled his lips, thinking to himself that she seemed gentle, virtuous, and magnanimous, but in reality, she possessed more than enough scheming and *yandere* tendencies.
