Chapter 967: The Truth Back Then IV

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Mu Qingyin did not allow the people in the Mu family to give spirit herbs to Chen Qingyan, the servants in the spirit herb chamber were too afraid to offend Mu Ling. In the end, they relented and gave Mu Ling some spirit herbs.

On the way back to Chen Qingyan’s chamber, Mu Ling walked past the old master’s chamber. He hesitated for a while and stepped into the courtyard.

The old master had moved back to his own chamber in the past few days. However, Mu Ling had not been visiting the old master because of his health.

Regardless of whether Chen Qingyan had done it intentionally or not, the old master had gone through so much suffering because of her. Mu Ling must pay the old master a visit no matter what.

From afar, Mu Ling could see the old master lying in the armchair, enjoying the sunlight. He looked gentle and benevolent. The dedicated old butler was standing behind him.

“Old Master, your health has improved a lot after eating the herbal dish that Feng Ruqing has prepared for you.” Feeling immensely relieved, the old butler broke into a smile.

‘Manor Master is truly blinded by Chen Qingyan. Lady Suyi and Young Lady Feng are so kind. The herbal dish that Young Lady Feng prepares is different from the spirit herb that the old master had taken previously. Not only has the old master’s health improved, but he is also no longer feeling drowsy and is slowly coming back to his senses.’

“Also, Young Lady Feng said that you will regain the strength that you have lost earlier. It is just a matter of time.”

“Why is Suyi not here today?” The old master got up from the armchair as he turned to look at the old butler.

“Perhaps, Lady Suyi is in the middle of something.” The old butler grinned.

Even if Suyi did not admit it, she was the only young lady of the Mu family.

“She promised me that she will never leave the Mu family again. Since I have done the things that I have promised her, Suyi will keep her promise, right?” The old master pouted.

The old butler did not respond.

‘Lady Suyi will never stay in the Mu family. Perhaps, when the old master has fully recovered, she will eventually leave. However, when the old master has fully recovered, he will no longer behave like a child and throw a tantrum when Lady Suyi leaves. By then, she could leave here without any worries.’

“Old Master, Lady Suyi will surely keep her promise.”

“That’s great. Back then, that rascal Mu Ling was so badly injured. If not for Suyi, he would have lost his life. Poor Suyi, she had even hid herself from him as she did not want Mu Ling to feel bad.” The old master grinned.

“However, I promised Suyi that I will never tell Mu Ling. Otherwise, Suyi would be angry and leave the Mu family again. Haha! Am I obedient?”

“Old Master, you have never gone against Lady Suyi. She knows this very well.” The old butler smiled faintly. At this time, he saw Mu Ling who was standing not far away out of the corner of his eyes.

Standing frozen in the wind, Mu Ling tightened his grip on the spirit herbs. He felt as if the air around him had been completely sucked away.

He had fallen into danger twice. The first time was when someone tried to kill him. It was a near-death experience. In the end, it was Chen Qingyan who had saved him using her own body to cover his. Hence, he was only lightly injured.

The second time was… during the martial arts tournament. His opponent had resorted to a treacherous trick. He was severely injured and had nearly died. After all, the sword had pierced right into his heart.

However, when he opened his eyes, he was still safe and sound. Only Chen Qingyan could be seen sitting next to him, with her eyes reddened. She was taking care of him and did not leave him, not even for a moment.
