Chapter 567 Yanyan Lies (1)_1
While treating Mo Qingze’s wounds, Mo Yan learned from Han Zhiyun and the others about how her father was bitten.
Originally, Mo Qingze and Mr. Liu had been unable to bag any game, so they teamed up to hunt in a less crowded area of the mountain. They intended to capture a pheasant or a wild rabbit to avoid returning empty-handed. However, before they had managed to shoot any game, more people arrived.
With the increase in people, the game in the mountains scattered once again to escape, inadvertently disturbing the Golden Beast that was recovering from injuries in the area. Indeed, the Golden Beast had already been injured before it launched an attack on the people.
The blood on the Golden Beast’s body had not yet dried, clearly indicating that the injury was fresh. It was highly likely that it had been defeated in a fight with another fierce beast and had been forced to flee to the outskirts of Yuhua Mountain. Having lost the fight and thus being extremely irritable at the time, it felt threatened by the disturbance from the people and so struck first, launching an attack on Mo Qingze and the others preemptively.
The Golden Beast first attacked a friend of Master Lv. At that moment, Mo Qingze happened to be right beside him, reacted quicker by pushing him to the ground, and consequently got bitten squarely himself.
"Miss Mo, if it weren’t for me, Mr. Mo wouldn’t have gotten injured. My life was saved by Mr. Mo, and I owe him a debt of gratitude; I will repay him as if I were his ox or horse," said the uninjured man, who had been saved. He looked at the unconscious Mo Qingze with gratitude and guilt as he spoke to Mo Yan.
Although Mo Yan was heartbroken to see her father suffer so much, she wouldn’t blame innocent people, so she shook her head and said indifferently, "My father saved you out of duty. He would have done the same for anyone else. Don’t blame yourself; it was an accident and not your fault."
