Chapter 1927: Mu Ling is Here?
However, Mu Qingyin clearly understood that what had happened to Mu Ling was all because of Mu Ling himself. He could not blame anyone else.
“Qingyin…”
Mu Ling looked at Mu Qingyin, wanting to say something but stopped himself short.
Mu Qingyin sighed softly. “What do you want to say? Just say it.”
Mu Ling pondered for a long time before he asked, “I want to know about Suyi and Nan Xian… Are they all right?”
He was a little nervous, perhaps because he was worried that Mu Qingyin would not answer him.
Mu Qingyin raised his gaze and looked at Mu Ling. “They have been gone for several years, and I do not know their whereabouts.”
‘Gone… Several years?’
Mu Ling’ was shocked. ‘They have already left?
‘Why does even Mu Qingyin not know their whereabouts?’
“Then, they…”
“I’m not sure, but I believe that Suyi and Nan Xian are fine.” Mu Qingyin looked straight at Mu Ling coldly. “And there is no need for you to go looking for them. I’m afraid that they would be unhappy if they see you.”
These words, like a knife, fiercely pierced into Mu Ling’s heart.
A bitter smile hung at the corner of his mouth, and his gaze was filled with sadness.
But this was all his own undoing.
He understood this well…
Perhaps, Suyi and Nan Xian would never want to see him again in this life.
“I know,” Mu Ling said with a bitter smile. “I came back today because I heard about your engagement some time ago and wanted to come over to see. Don’t tell the old master about this. He won’t want to see me…”
“Mm,” Mu Qingyin responded faintly.
After saying these, Mu Ling turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Mu Ling about to leave, Mu Qingyin suddenly opened his mouth and called out to stop him.
“Wait!”
Mu Ling was stunned and looked back at Mu Qingyin.
Mu Qingyin took out some spirit herbs from his storage bag and handed them to Mu Ling.
“Take these and go treat your injuries.”
“You…” Mu Ling looked at Mu Qingyin in shock.
Mu Qingyin remained expressionless.
“I help you because, after all, you’re still my brother. You being expelled from the Mu family is already the best punishment for you, but I also hope that you won’t come back in the future…”
All of Mu Ling’s actions back then had broken so many hearts.
He did not want Suyi to be sad when she came back and saw Mu Ling, so it was best not to see each other forever.
“Big Brother…” Mu Qingyin looked at Mu Ling. “I guess you deeply regretted your action all these years. If you had known what consequence you would face today, maybe… You would not do so?”
Indeed, if he had known this, why would he have given up on Suyi for Chen Qingyan?
Mu Ling gripped the spirit herbs in his hand tightly. He looked at Mu Qingyin for the last time before turning around and walked away.
He looked very lonely.
Mu Qingyin noticed that the once spirited Mu Ling had aged so much.
However, Mu Qingyin did not call out to him again; he, too, turned around and walked toward Mu Manor.
‘If you do something wrong, you have to pay for it! Even if a long time has pa.s.sed, the people you’ve hurt can’t easily forget it, and there is no way to forgive after all…’
Mu Qingyin just walked into Mu Manor when he suddenly saw Old Master Mu standing in the courtyard. He froze for a moment, slowly stepped forward, and greeted, “Father…”
“Sigh…”
A heavy sigh resounded through the courtyard.
The emotion in Old Master Mu’s eyes was somewhat complicated to read as he looked at Mu Qingyin with a bitter smile. “It was… Mu Ling who came earlier, right?”
