Back then, Mu Ling and Suyi were constantly together, just like peas and carrots. Hai Rong did ask Mu Ling whether Suyi was Mu Ling’s wife. Although Mu Ling did not deny it, he did not admit it either. Hence, Hai Rong had thought that Suyi was not Mu Ling’s wife.
Since Mu Ling treated Suyi so well and Suyi had relied on him, even if they were not a couple, they must be siblings. Hence, Hai Rong had never refused Mu Ling’s requests.
Hai Rong trusted Mu Ling so much. He had never thought that Mu Ling would deceive him.
‘This is utterly ridiculous!’ Hai Rong let out a boisterous laugh, which was filled with anger.
“Mu Huan’s medical talent is average, but she has no talent in cultivation. Since I have taken her as my disciple, I must guide her properly. I have given her so many spirit herbs in order to improve her strength.” Hai Rong hid the fury in his eyes as he spoke.
In the end, it turned out that Hai Rong had put so much effort into the wrong person.
“Although Mu Huan is haughty, it is not something awful. I am no different. That’s how the people out there think of me after all. She does not have any other bad traits besides that. She is the only one by my side in the Divine Cloud Mountain all these years. She has been staying with me for more than ten years, but her parents are annoying.”
Mu Huan was just a kid back then. If she had no idea what her parents were doing, Hai Rong would not blame her. However, if she was part of the sham, no matter how many years she had stayed with him, Hai Rong would never forgive her.
Qian Kun merely sighed.
Before that, Hai Rong had always stayed in the mountain alone. After taking Mu Huan as his disciple, Mu Huan had been keeping him company for over ten years. Hence, it was natural that Hai Rong could not bear to part with Mu Huan.
No matter how much Hai Rong disliked his disciple, having stayed together for such a long time, he could hardly leave her behind.
However, if Mu Huan had been deceiving Hai Rong, then she had ulterior motives staying with him. No matter how much Hai Rong cared for Mu Huan, he would never forgive her.
“Suyi, I have always been on the mountain and was not aware of the things that happen here. However, if anyone does anything wrong to you, I will avenge you.” Hai Rong stared at Suyi apologetically.
Hai Rong was reluctant to part with Mu Huan as she had been accompanying him all these years. However, Hai Rong cared, pitied, and admired Suyi. Knowing that Suyi had gone through a lot of struggles all these years, he felt bad for her. Moreover, Hai Rong owed Suyi a favor but he had actually repaid her kindness to those who hurt her.
“There is no need. I’m back here because of the old master’s birthday. Moreover, the people of the Mu family think that I am a good-for-nothing and always mess with my son. They have even hurt Qing’er. There are certain things that I must do on my own.” Su Yi smiled gracefully.
“Besides, I am here because of Nan Xian and Qing’er. No one will be sticking their nose into my son’s marriage. Qing’er is my only daughter-in-law.”
Initially, Suyi had cared for Feng Ruqing as her son was in love with her. Suyi would accept whoever her son fell for. However, as time went by, Suyi was growing increasingly fond of Feng Ruqing.
“Since you are here, I am not going to leave anytime soon.” Hai Rong sank into silence.
“What?”
“I have been staying on the mountain all these years. I can hardly tell if someone is true to me. I want to see Mu Huan’s true colors as she has always been by my side all these years.”
