Chapter 1313: Chapter 1307
"Such a simple principle, I understand it too, but Xin Lin, I can’t let go of my mother. Over the years, it’s just been my mother and I depending on each other for survival — no one understands my mother better than I do. In my mother’s heart, there’s only my deceased father. If she were asked to remarry, she’d absolutely refuse. Truly pushed to the edge, she’d seek a tragic end. Those people certainly used threats about my safety to coerce my mother — I cannot just stand by and watch her get driven to death."
Murong Ziyue’s pretty face turned crimson.
Xin Lin also sighed sorrowfully.
She understood Murong Ziyue’s difficulties.
Murong Ziyue and her mother depended on each other for survival. How similar was that time when "Xin Lin" and the Xin Family were the same way.
But the one "Xin Lin" loved was not worthy, ultimately causing the Xin Family to die from rage.
This matter has always been a regret for Xin Lin.
Xin Lin naturally wouldn’t want the same regret to befall Ziyue.
"How about this? Let’s first return to Qingtian Academy, find Mu Chen and ask for a detailed account of what happened, then we can devise a method. At most, I’ll accompany you to Fengdong once."
Xin Lin pondered for a moment, and reached a definite decision in her heart.
"How can this be? This matter is mine alone, I can’t involve you. Besides, last time because of me, you had conflicts with Star Academy’s people — I can’t drag you down again."
Murong Ziyue was quite apologetic upon hearing this.
She owed Xin Lin many favors already.
This time concerning Fengdong, she had long experienced the methods of those in the family.
"Don’t worry, I’m just passing through Fengdong. I originally wanted to visit Fuzhou. As for Star Academy, the matter has long been resolved. I forgot to tell you, while you were away this past month, I fought with two people from Star Academy — won once and drew the other match, including the one who ambushed you, Mo Wu. But I didn’t deal with Chang Yan, you can punish her yourself next time during the Little Eagle Chick Conference."
Xin Lin said with a smile.
Murong Ziyue was surprised, her beautiful eyes widened.
Even Mo Wu... She looked at Xin Lin again, noticing that Xin Lin’s aura had strengthened considerably.
Her partner continually gave her unexpected surprises.
"The matter of going to Fengdong still needs careful consideration, let’s first go back and find Mu Chen."
Murong Ziyue no longer wished to linger at Qin Mountain, and immediately departed with Xin Lin.
That night, Gui Hu still did not appear.
At dawn, Murong Ziyue and Xin Lin found Mu Chen.
"Murong Ziyue, your injuries..."
Mu Chen had just gotten up early, opened the door, and saw two women standing there, one tall and one short.
Seeing clearly Murong Ziyue and her much-strengthened aura, Mu Chen’s face changed.
Murong Ziyue’s aura had grown significantly stronger compared to before.
Her injuries fully healed.
"Mu Chen, I’m not here for small talk, how’s my mother? Didn’t you promise me earlier that you’d take good care of my mother until I finished participating in the Little Eagle Chick Conference?"
Murong Ziyue questioned.
"What’s with your tone? I did promise you, but how was I supposed to know that your mother would offend the Third Aunt. Her son fancied your mother and wanted her to remarry, but she refused and harshly scolded them. In a fit of rage, the Third Aunt arranged a marriage for her."
Qin Shi snorted.
Though he was one of Fengdong’s three young masters, he couldn’t easily defy the elders’ orders in the family. Moreover, now that he’s no longer in Fengdong, there are things he can’t help with.
