Jiang Zheng knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he truthfully explained the whole story.
Mu Bingxin, upon hearing, couldn't help but reproach him, "Hong'er didn't listen to the master's orders, and ended up like this, it's his own doing. How could you follow Hui'er in such reckless behavior? If any mishap occurs, how could I explain it to your master?"
Jiang Zheng confessed, "I did act rashly, but Brother Jin holds great prestige within the sect and is greatly supported by the disciples. If he were to have his soul scattered, the morale within the sect would be lost. Thus, I had no choice but to act."
Mu Bingxin looked at him with surprise, feeling a slight touch of emotion in her heart. She had thought it was only due to Shan Huizhen's pleas, out of romantic sentiment and marital duty, but didn't expect it was entirely for the greater good of the sect.
