Chapter 955: Mu Ling is Timid I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Ling felt hurt and his eyes were full of regret seeing the flowers being dropped onto the ground.
He had looked forward to the old master’s recovery more than anyone.
Although he was in charge of the Mu family now, he might not be anymore if the old master was fully recovered. However, it was obvious that Nan Xian would not return to the Mu family. If the old master did not recover, the Mu family would inevitably suffer.
Only the old master could suppress those who were skittish.
Mu Ling understood that the clan would either prosper or decline as one.
He wanted to take charge of the Mu family. However, he knew that his current strength could not bring the Mu family back to its glory like before, only the old master could do it.
If the Mu family was eventually annexed by other forces, what significance did he have as the young master of the Mu family?
Anyway, Mu Qingyin did not like power. Furthermore, Nan Xian was not interested in taking charge of the Mu family. The Mu family would be his sooner or later. Why should he fight now?
Moreover, Mu Ling did not dare to let people realize that the old master’s strength was declining in order not to let people know the Mu family’s situation. It did not mean that he did not care about Old Master Mu’s life. Otherwise, he would not have been looking for spirit herbs everywhere for many years to cure the old man.
It was just that the situation of the Mu family was not looking so well. Furthermore, the chief manor had rejected the marriage. Hai Rong was unwilling to allow the Mu family to do any business using his name. Hence, he could only think of another way to make the Mu family better.
The old master was his father. He wanted the old master to recover as soon as possible. However, he was too naïve and believed in Chen Qingyan too much. He listened to whatever Chen Qingyan said and tried his best to convince the old master to accept Chen Qingyan.
So much so that it had caused so many issues later…
Suyi saw that Mu Ling was not that arrogant anymore after he had gone through yesterday’s events. She could not help but sneer.
So, even he could be afraid at times…
She thought that Mu Ling had always been stubborn and was fearless.
Mu Ling was not afraid of the old master because the old master had not hit him like this, but it was obvious that Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian would hit him.
What if Nan Xian’s temper was out of control?
Mu Ling believed that Nan Xian would do it. So, he was timid in front of Nan Xian and did not even dare to scold him out loud.
Chen Qingyan felt the change in Mu Ling. She bit her lower lip and tears floated in her eyes.
“Brother Ling, I didn’t want to harm the old master. The old master is your father and also my father. I can’t possibly hurt him.”
Mu Ling was in pain. “Qingyan, I believe you. Suyi, I know that there is a lot of contradictions between you and Qingyan, but she is unlikely to harm the old master. There must be misunderstanding…”
He looked at Feng Ruqing subconsciously when he said that.
He seemed to be telling Suyi that this was all Feng Ruqing’s fault.
Qingyan was not a vicious person.
If it had been in the past, Mu Ling would have reprimanded Feng Ruqing, but he could not say a word because of Nan Xian’s glare.
Feng Ruqing glanced at Mu Ling and turned to look at Nan Xian. “State Preceptor, he wants to slander me for provoking the alienation between Suyi and Qingyan.”
Mu Ling was speechless.
What did he say? He said nothing!
Why did she blame him?
“Feng Ruqing, you are…”
Mu Ling could feel a gaze with murderous intent directed at him. He stopped speaking abruptly again.
He pondered for a moment before he continued, “I didn’t say those words. Everyone present can prove that. Nan Xian, you can’t treat me like this just because of her words.”
