Chapter 1158: It Turns Out That He was a Fool Through and Through II
The only thing he could feel was that the person in front of him, protecting him, was of Spirit Warrior tier!
After that, he went completely unconscious.
When he had awoken, only Qingyan was before him.
He asked Qingyan, and Qingyan had admitted that it was she who had saved him. Yet she had said that she did not see Suyi.
However, it was almost as if he had forgotten, Qingyin was of lower Spirit Warrior tier. She could not possibly have defeated Mu Qi.
However, Suyi was not the same…
Suyi’s cultivation was very strong. Even if she had weakened quite a bit when saving him previously, there were still endless magic weapons in her hands.
Suddenly, Mu Ling recalled something.
Back then, they had left to look for Grandmaster Hai Rong.
Just as they were about to reach the foot of the hill, Suyi had gone to find a place to relieve herself. He and Qingyan had met Mu Qi when they were waiting for her.
Later on, Suyi had returned and the only explanation she gave for her one-month disappearance was that she had gone to Hai Rong.
However, why did she look for Hai Rong alone? Why did she only return a month later? She never explained. And he simply listened to Qingyan’s words, a.s.suming that Suyi had fled, so… back then, he had had a huge argument with her, blaming her for being a coward and a weakling. Perhaps, his actions had thoroughly hurt Suyi’s heart back then.
Mu Ling no longer had the heart to settle accounts with Mu Qi. He let go of his hand and stumbled in the direction of the city.
His footsteps were quick and were a little hurried. His pale face was very ugly.
Hai Rong…
That was right, he could not trust Mu Qi who held a grudge against the Mu family. Perhaps, Grandmaster Hai Rong could provide him with an answer!
Luckily, Hai Rong had yet to leave because of Suyi and had rather decided to stay at an inn. This provided him an opportunity to seek Hai Rong.
***
Logically speaking, Mu Qi hated Mu Ling to the bone, and would not have easily let him go.
However, looking at Mu Ling seeming so soulless, his lips curled into a sneer. With one hand behind his back, he stood upright against the breeze with a sarcastic smile.
A light breeze blew, and suddenly a masked man stood in front of Mu Qi.
A man in purple clothes with a devilish charm appeared. A mask covered half of his face. His lip line was beautifully raised, arcing into an evil grin.
“You have done a good job. Later… I will dispatch someone to send the spirit wine to your Mu family as promised.”
Mu Qi’s heart was delighted. “Thank you, Young Master Jiu Ming.”
Jiu Ming sneered while looking back in the direction of which Mu Ling had left and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
“You can get lost now. This Mu family’s person… you can’t touch him for now.”
Mu Qi was a little reluctant. He had hated the Mu family for a long time. But since Jiu Ming had already said so, he had no choice even if he was reluctant.
“Young Master Jiu Ming, then when can I…”
He looked at Mu Qi evilly. “You can never touch him!”
Mu Qi’s body trembled as he lowered his head subconsciously.
This Young Master Jiu Ming… was not someone he could afford to trifle with.
Therefore, all the intentions Mu Qi held in his heart were laid to rest. He reluctantly looked in the direction where Mu Ling had left. He then put his fist to palm while facing Jiu Ming and disappeared.
Jiu Ming’s lips had a slight arc. His fingers rubbed his chin lightly, his devilish smile captivating. “Little Qing’er, I have helped you solve such a big nuisance. Not sure how you should thank me…”
Mu Qi would not have looked for Mu Ling without any rhyme or reason.
After all… Although Mu Ling’s cultivation had weakened, the Mu family still had Old Master Murong. He was not so stupid to have gone to look for trouble. Furthermore, he would not have kept silent for so many years only to suddenly take action now.
