Ye Ningwan nodded, "I'm not as beautiful as her, but I'm more capable, and I am well-liked by our master. Naturally, she's jealous of me. Later, she hit her rebellious phase and always liked flirting with boys ambiguously, which made our master angry and he hit her. That was it—she stole some of the master's treasured collections, renounced the sect, and went around tarnishing the sect's reputation. Our master was so enraged he fell ill, almost dying from it. Although he eventually recovered, he held on to it at heart. Even though he told me on his deathbed that he'd forgiven her, I can't be so magnanimous, let alone with all the harm she's done to me now."
"Is it true that you can't forgive anyone who's harmed you?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
He recalled what Chen Tan had told him, that he had also hurt Ye Ningwan before.
Four years ago, he made her leave heartbroken, leaving her to give birth and raise the child alone abroad.
Now that she's back, she still won't accept him.
