However…

Just as the sword was about to pierce into her body, a light flashed past, cutting off her entire arm. It was so painful that she shrieked until her voice went hoa.r.s.e, almost losing consciousness.

“You have hurt Suyi for so many years and have almost caused Old Master Mu to die. If you wish to die, I"m afraid that it will not be this easy.”

The corner of Feng Ruqing"s lips curled up into a faint curve. “However, you do not have to worry. I will not hand you over to Mu Ling.

“Because…” she paused. “He does not have the right to punish you!”

Indeed, Mu Ling wished to vent all his hatred and anger on Chen Qingyan, but she would not give him such a chance.

He needed to carry all these grudges and live out this life!

At this moment, Mu Ling"s anger had yet to subside. However, Mu Huan"s death did allow him to somewhat recover his rationale.

However, listening to Feng Ruqing"s words, a hint of conflicted emotions flashed in his eyes. In the end, he still did not make any move at all.

“Mother, get Elder Lei Yun to come over and bring Chen Qingyan to Fengyun Manor.” A hint of a smile appeared in Feng Ruqing"s eyes. “I think… This time, the Divine Herbs Sect would not be such a busybody and s.n.a.t.c.h away someone from my hands. Also, get Elder Lei Yun to send the Divine Herbs Sect a letter as well. Soon, I will pay them a visit.”

She explicitly said ‘paying a visit"… but no matter how Nalan Yan interpreted it, she felt that Feng Ruqing was going to go there to cause trouble.

“Oh, also…” Feng Ruqing stroked her chin with a half-hearted smile as she looked at Chen Qingyan who had crumbled to the ground. “You don"t have to be too worried. I am very respectful of the dead. I will not be like Mu Ling to want to cut up your son into a thousand pieces.”

Chen Qingyan raised her eyelids slightly, as she looked at Feng Ruqing weakly.

Why was it that she did not believe Feng Ruqing would be so kind to actually let off her pitiful son…

“Old Master Mu, if I brought Mu Xi"s corpse to feed the wolves, I don"t think you would feel heart broken, right?” Feng Ruqing raised her head and looked at Old Master Mu with a smile.

When Mu Xi was born, Old Master Mu had already become muddle-headed and so, he never really had much interaction with Mu Xi.

However, Mu Xi was still his grandson.

However, he also knew that Mu Xi was as selfish and as ruthless as Chen Qingyan. He had caused quite a bit of harm to many women from good families in his life. His end today was also befitting of his sins.

Therefore, Old Master Mu sighed lightly in the end. “I do not have much of an opinion of you feeding him to the wolves. I just hope that he will be born in a good family in his next life and not to such a mother who would teach a good child to be wrong.”

As a child, Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan"s blood was flowing in his body. Naturally, he also had some of the character flaws his parents possessed.

However, all children are born blank slates.

Even if he had the blood of these two people, things would not have necessarily ended this way if he was brought up properly.

Take Nan Xian for example. He was also Mu Ling"s seed, but he did not have the least bit of Mu Ling"s selfishness and foolishness.

This was all due to Suyi"s good teachings…

“Don"t!”

Chen Qingyan"s body trembled badly. She used all her strength to climb back up and leaped before Feng Ruqing.

“You said that you were very respectful to the dead. How could you treat my son like this? I beg you, I beg you to let him off…”

Feng Ruqing lowered her gaze with a smile on her face. “Indeed, I respect the corpse because I rear quite a number of spirit beasts and these spirit beasts" feces could be used as fertilizer in the future and make the spirit herbs grow faster. See… I am even allowing him to contribute to this world even after his death. Shouldn"t you be thanking me?”
