Si Mobai groaned softly and quickly asked for forgiveness, “Sorry, I am so sorry! I won’t do it again. Just make a move and hit me already.”
Feng Tianlan heard him groaning and remembered that he was injured. She didn’t control her strength just now, so it was probably painful for him. Worriedly, she looked at him. “I am sorry, I didn’t hold myself back.”
Si Mobai held her hand and smiled gently. “It’s alright. Compared to what Lan’er went through, I don’t feel this pain at all.”
When that upsetting event was brought up again, Feng Tianlan felt resentful and couldn’t help feeling aggrieved. “Get on the bed and take a rest first. We will leave after you are well.”
They were in the Earth Soul Pagoda, and no one had come looking for them yet. After being separated from Mobai for so long and having just experienced an excruciating heartache, she still felt really resentful and aggrieved. Also, she felt as though the trust between them was falling apart, and needed to be rebuilt once again.
Si Mobai lay down on the bed. His heart ached when he saw Feng Tianlan’s expression. “Lan’er, can you tell me what happened just now?”
Feng Tianlan sat by the side of the bed. She retrieved two fruits from the Pill Scroll Realm, one for Mobai and the other for herself. Her heart couldn’t help aching when she recalled the scenes. “I was in a palace garden that was full of peonies. There was a woman who looked exactly like me, and you were going to marry her. Yunzhu and the rest kept calling her Tianlan, but I was the only one who knew that woman is a fake…”
In the beginning, she knew that it was all just part of her training. Even when she was in the bridal sedan, she constantly reminded herself that this scene was for her training. They were not real.
But when Mobai appeared, she just completely lost her mind. She could only feel the excruciating pain and it hurt so bad.
Thinking of it now, she finally understood something. She lost her mind because she really loved Si Mobai. And she also recalled Mobai being really cold towards the bride as if he hated her. He wouldn’t have reacted like that if he really loved that person.
He really did have difficulties then, but she couldn’t tell because she lost her mind and was utterly depressed.
Thinking about it now, it was pretty foolish of her to react that way. She should have been bossy and trashed the wedding. How dare he let her down and get married to someone else?! She should have destroyed everything and dragged him away!
As for the woman impersonating her, she should have been ruthless and showed no mercy!
Listening to these details from Feng Tianlan, he could feel the sadness, pain, anger, and despair in her words. Not to mention, she was there when it happened. That would definitely hurt a lot more, which was probably why she couldn’t wake up. If she hadn’t snapped out of it, would she have been stuck in the illusion forever and never wake up again?
A lingering fear bloomed in Si Mobai when he thought about that outcome. He hugged her tightly from behind. “I am sorry. It’s all my fault.”
“Si Mobai, can you tell me what were your difficulties?” Feng Tianlan turned around and looked at him angrily. Until now, she had no idea what difficulties he had that made him go so far as to hurt her and marry someone else.
Si Mobai was helpless at Feng Tianlan’s questioning. “Lan’er. I was not in that dream, so I don’t know.”
He wished that he had been in there to stop everything before it happened so that it would not let have hurt Lan’er.
Feng Tianlan hummed softly, “Si Mobai, you remember this. Don’t do anything that will hurt me telling me it’s all for my good, if not…”
