"Do you remember me?" Master Bai Hong asked, "How has my disciple wronged you, that you insist on framing her time and again?"
Master Bai Hong seemed to know some taboos and didn't mention Xia Feixuan's real name, referring to him as his disciple the whole time.
Shang Ruqi indeed didn't recall anything, but when she realized it was Master Bai Hong who had arrived, she became uneasy.
"You... Great Elder, why are you here?"
"If you can come, why can't I?"
Shang Ruqi now felt even less likely that Qiann Yan would kill her: "Great Elder, it was all some misunderstandings before, just a small conflict between Xia Qianyan and me. When I return, I'll send some compensatory trinkets to her..."
"Return?" Master Bai Hong said angrily, "You can't return, you can never return."
Before Shang Ruqi could say more, Master Bai Hong said, "Let's go."
He chose not to personally end Shang Ruqi's life, leaving her suppressed inside the tomb to endure many years of suffering.
