"Who knows what he's been doing all these years? And now, at the last critical step, he blames me for ruining his big opportunity?"
"Tell me, is this even my fault?"
Jin Yicai's gaze turned venomous. "If it hadn't been for that despicable Gu Changhuai meddling in my business, catching me red-handed, listing my crimes, and reporting them to the Taoist Court, would I have fallen to this state? Forced to endure my father's scolding, shamed utterly, and confined to this cave residence?"
