It's an obvious thought that MTEntries would recursively putting your post, so doesn't sound right to have a "previous post" link inside it. After everything is done, out of curiousity, I went searching in the manual. Bingo! There is MTEntriesFooter, which serve what I really wanted. Here's the quote from MT manual:

A container tag: the contents of this container will be displayed only if this entry is the last entry listed in the container. This could be used, for example, to link to the preview entry's archive page from your index page
