Chapter 1895: Never Ordered Her to Kill Yang Siran
"We encountered Xiao Yixue in the Trial Realm, and she said you ordered her to kill Yang Siran."
"She also mentioned that Xu Changqing’s death was linked to you."
"So we came to confirm with you."
Gu Zhiqi’s tone was calm, her expression composed. Although she claimed to be confirming with Ling Muyan, it sounded more like a statement.
After listening, Ling Muyan was stunned for several seconds before she said to Gu Zhiqi, "Did Yixue... really say that?"
Gu Zhiqi didn’t reply, which was taken as a silent confirmation.
Seeing this, Ling Muyan sighed softly and said, "I don’t know why Junior Sister would say such things."
"However, I never instructed her to kill Yang Siran."
"As for Xu Changqing’s death, it indeed has something to do with me."
At this point, Ling Muyan lowered her gaze and sighed softly, "Back then, Xu Changqing didn’t actually commit suicide by poison; it was Yixue who poisoned him."
"And it was I who gave her the poison, thinking she would use it for self-defense, but I never imagined..."
"I only found out later that she poisoned Xu Changqing because she was afraid he would disrupt my path."
"To me, Xu Changqing was just a stranger, but Yixue..."
At this, Ling Muyan let out a bitter smile and then looked at Ling Zhiyu, "Sister Zhiyu, I’m really sorry. I know you and Xu Changqing... I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long."
After saying this, Ling Muyan exhaled as if a burden had been lifted, seemingly having poured out her long-held secrets.
Gu Zhiqi stared at her for a long time, unable to detect any sign of pretense.
"I will seek confirmation from Xiao Yixue; today, I’m sorry to have taken up your time, Sister Muyan," Ling Zhiyu said as she rose.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi also stood up and thanked Ling Muyan, "Thank you, Miss Muyan, for your answers. Sorry for the trouble today."
Ling Muyan rose and politely addressed the two, "You’re welcome."
Then, looking at Gu Zhiqi with some anticipation, she added, "If you have time in the future, could we meet for a chat?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Of course."
After that, Gu Zhiqi and Ling Zhiyu left, while Ling Muyan stood by the table, watching them leave.
Once she was alone in the room, Ling Muyan’s expression changed instantly.
Her eyes became dark and profound, and she murmured softly, "What a clever little girl."

Not long after leaving the teahouse, Ling Zhiyu received news from Ling Yilin that Xiao Yixue had been taken to the Law Enforcement Hall.
So, the two of them went to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Ling Zhiyu initially thought it would be difficult to see Xiao Yixue, but unexpectedly, they ran into Fu Yu upon arriving at the Law Enforcement Hall.
Upon learning of Gu Zhiqi and Ling Zhiyu’s purpose, Fu Yu immediately led them to the Dark Prison.
It was only then that Ling Zhiyu remembered that Gu Zhiqi was the Third Miss of the Fu Family.
After meeting Xiao Yixue, Gu Zhiqi did not avoid Ling Zhiyu and directly used hypnosis on Xiao Yixue to inquire about Xu Changqing’s matter.
Regarding the poisoning of Xu Changqing, Xiao Yixue admitted to it.
Indeed, just as Ling Muyan had said, Xiao Yixue poisoned Xu Changqing because she feared he would disrupt Ling Muyan’s path.
"Anyone who disrupts Sister’s path deserves to die." That was Xiao Yixue’s original words.
Gu Zhiqi asked a few more questions, and from Xiao Yixue’s answers, it was not hard to discern that Xiao Yixue was obsessed with her sister, protecting Ling Muyan with an extreme level of devotion and borderline unhealthy affection.
However, it was this very person, who held such an extreme level of protection for Ling Muyan, who admitted that Ling Muyan ordered her to enter the Trial Realm to kill Yang Siran.
It seems that regarding the matter of killing Yang Siran, Ling Muyan did not tell the truth.
