Mei Rulan's face turned pale as the memory resurfaced.
At the time, she had thought Bai Zihan was just bluffing.
Who could've imagined he'd actually be mad enough to follow through?
"You want to destroy my clan?"
"Of course!"
Bai Zihan replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Rulan, what did you do?!"
The Mei Clan's elders shouted furiously.
How could they not be angry? After all, she was the reason this calamity had descended upon the Mei Clan today.
"I—I…"
Mei Rulan looked guilty, at a complete loss for words.
Her voice caught in her throat. Her hands clenched into fists as the stares of her clan bore down on her—some filled with disbelief, others with silent blame.
Elders, younger disciples, even city guards… all of them looked at her like she was the cause of this doomsday.
She was!
"I didn't think he'd really do it…"
She muttered under her breath.
Unfortunately for her, Bai Zihan heard her loud and clear.
"You didn't think I'd really do it?"
