Chapter 1238: Cutting a b.l.o.o.d.y Path II
Perhaps it was because of Mu Xin who had started it first that the other elders, too, knelt and kowtowed to the powerful enemies in front of them!
They had given up all their pride and dignity to save their own lives.
They just wanted to live!
The old master Mu felt pain every time he saw the elders kneeling in front of the enemies, one after another. And in the end, he felt somewhat numb as he looked at the Mu family’s elders and clansmen, expressionlessly.
“Master…” Suyi calmly walked toward the old master Mu. “There’s no need to be upset. After all these years, you should know these people. They are cowardly, greedy, and stupid!”
This was the first time that Suyi had cursed like that.
Previously, Mu Xin and the others would immediately retort if anyone had cursed them. But now, they all bowed their head helplessly as they felt ashamed to retort to Suyi.
But they did not feel they were wrong.
Was there any difference if they had submitted to Gu s.h.i.+ or anyone else?
It would not affect the Mu family anyway! So, had they make any mistake?
If being greedy and being afraid of death was wrong, then there would be too many wrongdoers in this world. He did not believe that the old master was not scared of death. He just did not show it to them.
The old master Mu’s hands were trembling. He eventually loosened his clenched fists as he sighed deeply and helplessly.
“Master…” Suyi smiled. Her white robe swayed elegantly in the breeze. “Ignore these greedy people. We can fight our way out of this chaos alone.”
Mu Ling looked at Suyi who was as calm as ever. He then turned to Chen Qingyan who was crying on the ground.
Mu Ling felt like he wanted to slap himself hard.
Obviously… Suyi was so much better than Chen Qingyan.
Why did he give up Suyi for Chen Qingyan back then!
The old master Mu did not even look at Mu Ling from the beginning until now. In his eyes, Mu Ling was no different from those clansmen of the Mu family.
Greed and foolis.h.!.+
He would never be sad again with whatever decision Mu Ling made.
“Father…” Mu Ling’s voice filled with grief and pain. “Do we really have to… Ignore everything for Gu s.h.i.+…?”
Did the Mu family… Give no thought about this?
The old master Mu sneered. He did not say anything, but Mu Ling understood his silence.
Mu Ling stared dumbly at the skilled masters in the air and slowly closed his eyes. A moment later… He opened his eyes again.
Talking about Gu s.h.i.+, he had done nothing wrong. He had only forbidden his people in the chief manor from committing any sort of crimes.
He did not treat any clan as slaves as he gave freedom to all of them!
If it had been someone else…
Suddenly, Mu Ling remembered the unlucky man who had once been killed by Gu s.h.i.+.
When the former chief manor was still ruling this place, he had treated the people in Tian Shen Manor… As his servants.
Any word from him must be obeyed by everyone.
If he liked something, every clan would have to give it to him.
The Luo family was nearly wiped out back then.
If his father had not been able to make a breakthrough to Holy Warrior tier… And with the old master who was not good at flattering, perhaps… The Mu family would not have been able to survive.
Gu s.h.i.+ was overbearing, but he was not an unreasonable man. He would not simply destroy any clan if one did not violate the rules he had set.
This Gu s.h.i.+… Was indeed a wise leader.
But what would happen if these groups of people ruled this place?
