“Fei"er?” Qin Li frowned and asked again.

Qin Fei"er took a deep breath, gradually regaining some calmness as she said, “I"m fine. It"s just that when I arrived here, I think about the humiliation that I have once suffered in the Mu family, I just can"t hold it back anymore.”

“Seriously? Are you alright?”

Qin Li was vaguely uneasy. Recently, Qin Fei"er seemed to have aged a lot, so he must be sure that there was nothing wrong with her body. After all, the Qin family would have to rely on her strength now. He could not bear it if anything happened to her.

“Yes,” Qin Fei"er responded softly. She clutched her chest as her eyes fell again upon the Mu family"s gate.

For some reason, when she had used her spirit power just now, she felt like her heart was on fire, and the pain was unbearable. But for the Qin family"s sake… And to not lose her dignity in front of her family again, regardless of how painful her heart felt, she had to bear it!

“Suyi… Cough! Cough!” The old master had already stood up, but his health was not as fairly good as before, and his steps were even a bit shaky. “This war is unavoidable. I only ask you for one thing, when I"m not around anymore, I hope that… You can manage the Mu family for me.”

Suyi lifted the old master"s arm. “Old Master, you…”

“I knew that the Mu family"s collaterals aren"t all good, but… Not all of them are bad, such as Elder Zhang, who guarded the spirit herb chamber, and Mu Zhong, the head of the imperial guard back then… And those old people who have been driven out since I became ill…

“The Mu family"s empire has survived for over a thousand years, and I don"t want the Mu family to be destroyed. But I believe that as long as someone is still alive, there is always hope for the Mu family to rebuild! You and Nan Xian… Are the hope of the Mu family!”

The old master"s heart was like a clear mirror. Mu Qingyin"s was too naive and unsuitable to manage the Mu family. Suyi was not vicious enough, but she had a son, Nan Xian…

Therefore, these few were the only people he could trust in the Mu family.

“Old Master, don"t be ridiculous. Who said you would die today? I"ll protect you and get you out of here.”

“Hahaha!” The old master was laughing so hard that his tears were rolling down his face. “I"ve never done anything evil in my life, and the only mistake that I"ve done was giving birth to that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d Mu Ling who has caused so many problems!”

If Mu Ling had not wanted Qin Fei"er to marry Nan Xian as his concubine, she would not have been so obsessed and would not have hated the Mu family to this extent.

In short, everything that happened was Mu Ling"s fault!

Old Master Mu pushed away Suyi"s hand and gradually walked toward Qin Fei"er firmly and steadily.

He was determined to fight until his last breath.

“Qin Fei"er, not only does my grandson not want to take you as his concubine, but I"m also disgusted by a woman like you. Feng Ruqing is my only granddaughter-in-law. If you keep pestering my grandson again, I won"t let you go even when I"ve become a ghost!”

Qin Fei"er had never been humiliated like this since she was a child. His face turned paler. She held the long sword on her hand and thrust it into the old master Mu"s body, sending him back a few steps.

Blood oozed from the old master Mu"s chest, but he did not even frown. His gaze remained cold and stern.
