Chapter 885: Nan Xian is Here IVTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qing Zhu had sacrificed himself. It had almost lost its innocence too!
“Xiao Qing.”
Feng Ruqing saw Qing Zhu at first glance. She laughed happily. “It"s been a while since we last met. Why do I feel that you"re much better looking now? Your color is much greener.”
Qing Zhu was speechless.
It trembled and raised its head. It soon saw that Nan Xian was looking at it.
It swallowed its saliva with much difficulty. “It"s not my fault. Really. The princess said that I"m much greener now. It must be the reason why she noticed me. I did not attract her attention. It"s really because of my color.”
Qing Zhu"s voice was shaky until the end. It was almost bursting into tears.
“I heard that there"s a worm who adores you.”
Qing Zhu remained quiet.
“Let"s arrange for your marriage when we"re back.”
Qing Zhu froze.
It was asked to seduce another snake in the past. Now, the master wanted to arrange for its marriage.
“Master, there"s nothing between the princess and I.”
There were a lot of spirit beasts in the princess"s manor. Why was the master so resolutely guarded against it?
Was it its fault for being green?
It was innocent!
“Nan Xian and Qing Zhu are back.” Suyi smiled softly and said, “Recently, Qing"er needs something to strengthen her body. This snake is quite fine. It could be used for that purpose so that this snake won"t kidnap you.”
Qing Zhu jumped down from Nan Xian"s neck. It ran away in tears.
It could not stay with them anymore. Everybody was bullying it.
It wanted to run away from home and never come back to them.
Feng Ruqing smiled and watched Qing Zhu as it left them. After a while, she turned her gaze to Nan Xian.
“Firstly, did you ask the people from the Divine Herbs Sect to cause trouble in Tian Shen Manor?”
Nan Xian was quiet for a while. “Qing Zhu did that.”
“Did you stalk me?” Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes.
Nan Xian thought for a while. “It was Qing Zhu who persuaded me to do that.”
“Did you go to Fengyun Manor and look for me there?”
“That was Qing Zhu too…”
All of those things were done by Qing Zhu. Nan Xian was innocent.
“Really?”
Feng Ruqing smiled beautifully.
“Yes,” Nan Xian replied, calmly.
“Oh, it seems that Qing Zhu has done quite a lot for me. I need to treat it better in the future. Don"t always…”
Nan Xian pulled Feng Ruqing into an embrace. “I was just talking nonsense just now. I"m the one who has ordered Qing Zhu to do those things. It has nothing to do with those things.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
How could the state preceptor say something like that so shamelessly?
Suyi felt that her son had changed. He was never that shameless in the past.
“Suyi.” Feng Ruqing turned and looked at Suyi. “The old master of the Mu family"s birthday is coming soon. Do you want to go?”
Suyi was stunned and nodded her head slightly.
“I"ll go with you.”
Feng Ruqing held her hand. She sounded firm,
A smile crept onto Suyi"s calm face. “The people of the Mu family are wicked and evil except the old master and Xiao Qingyin. Moreover, all of the others are white-eyed wolves. I don"t want them to pollute your eyes.”
Her smile faded when she thought of the incidents that had happened in the past.
“Mu Ling said that only Qingyan stayed by his side when he was hurt. He did not know where I went. But, what he did not know was that my strength was affected when I treated him. That"s why he could live. Now, I"m still not fully recovered.
“Actually, I"m responsible for what happened too. I did not tell him the truth because I didn"t want him to feel guilty about it. I have even asked the old master to hide the truth from him.
“But, we met with the enemies of the Mu family when the three of us left Tian Shen Manor back then. He only remembered that Chen Qingyan stayed by his side all the time. But, he forgot that I was the one who has driven the enemies away. They were able to run away because of that. However, I was badly hurt. I hid for half a year to recover my strength before I could return to the Mu family.”
