Chapter 1590: Rubik's Cube Beauty (52)

The Host had insisted that she wasn't the one who poisoned anyone. She had thought Wen Zhao would believe her.

But when Wen Zhao saw that the visitor was the female lead, Yun Qingruo, he didn't hesitate in the slightest. He immediately stood on Yun Qingruo's side.

He even helped Yun Qingruo capture the Host and force her to reveal the whereabouts of the antidote.

Just recalling that part made the System tremble in fear.

Even though he knew this was merely an illusion, the Host was right. All of this had truly happened before. Some wounds left by certain people would remain forever in her heart, impossible to erase.

"How are you feeling?"

His voice arrived before he did.

Wen Zhao's voice was as gentle and warm as ever, enough to make anyone lower all their defenses.

Soon, Wen Zhao entered, dressed in snow-white robes.

He held several medicinal herbs in his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Tang, the injuries on your face are rather severe. These herbs should help ease some of your pain."

"Thank you."

Tang Guo's response was cold and indifferent, but Wen Zhao didn't find anything strange. He sat to the side and began preparing the herbs.

Seeing Tang Guo remain so passive, the System couldn't figure out what she intended to do.

Over the following days, Wen Zhao took meticulous care of her. She was no different from her former self.

Had the System not sensed the tranquility within Tang Guo's heart, he would have worried that she had fallen into the illusion.

In this way, they lived together for about a month when Wen Zhao suddenly remarked, "Miss Tang's age happens to be the same as that of the younger sister I lost all those years ago."

He had said these same words before.

Back then, Tang Guo had intended to acknowledge him after some more time had passed.

Unfortunately, the very next day after those words were spoken, the male and female leads arrived.

【Host, why don't we just break this illusion? There's really nothing interesting about it. The past is the past.】

"We have to remain in Mirror Illusion City for a month. During that time, countless illusions will appear. Breaking one will only lead to another. We might as well revisit the days when I was still foolish."

The System stopped trying to persuade her.

Once the Host had made up her mind, nothing he said would change it.

The next day, the male lead, Pei Yu, indeed arrived with the female lead, Yun Qingruo.

"Tang Guo, hand over the antidote," Pei Yu said. "Killing Qingruo won't benefit you. If Qingruo dies, you won't survive either."

Tang Guo stood blocked at the entrance of the stone hut.

Alongside Pei Yu and Yun Qingruo stood several others, all members of their faction.

Every one of them glared at Tang Guo with righteous indignation.

These people had once shared connections with her.

But at some point, all of them had gone over to the female lead's side.

"I didn't poison her."

Tang Guo wore a faint smile.

One side of her face was breathtakingly beautiful.

The other resembled something demonic, hideous enough to horrify anyone who looked at it.

"It wasn't you? Then who else?" one person shouted. "Only someone as vicious as you could do something like this."

"Exactly. Qingruo has always yielded to you. Everything you've suffered is your own fault. Even after leaving, you still couldn't resist poisoning Qingruo."

The smile on Tang Guo's face never changed.

"Yun Qingruo has offended plenty of people in her life. Those who want to poison her could form a line around this entire mountain. Why are all of you so certain that I did it?"

"Because I don't believe anyone else would."

Tang Guo simply leaned against the stone wall and said nothing more.

Instead, she looked into the distance at the figure returning from afar.

He moved as though carried by the wind itself, almost flying toward them.

"What happened?"

Upon arriving beside Tang Guo, Wen Zhao instinctively asked the question.

Then he noticed Yun Qingruo's pale complexion, and his expression changed slightly.

"Qingruo?"
