969: The Truth Back Then VI

The Truth Back Then VI

"Manor Master, do you still remember the time when you were severely injured? The time when your heart was badly hurt and someone carried you back to the Mu family?"2

Hearing the old butler, Mu Ling could not help but stumble backward, the color drained out of his stunning face. 

It turned out that it was really that time—Mu Ling had survived because of Suyi.

"Initially, you were already at death's door. It was Lady Suyi who has saved you. I did not know about this until the old master told me. The old master saw this with his own eyes." The old butler smiled faintly. 

"The old master did not know how Lady Suyi saved you, but after she saved you, she could hardly stand straight. Even her strength had depleted."

Hearing this, Mu Ling clenched his fists tightly. 

The old butler's words felt like needles pricking at his heart, a sense of guilt rose in him.

He did not know this before… If he had known this, he would never have treated Suyi that way.

"Lady Suyi left you not because she doesn't care about you, but she went somewhere to recuperate and couldn't come back." The old butler stared at Mu Ling quietly. 

"Perhaps, you had no idea about that before, Lady Suyi's strength was not inferior to the old master's."

The old butler could never wrap his head around Suyi's real identity.

Not only had Suyi attained Holy Warrior tier back then, but she also had not in the slightest way aged. She looked exactly the same as she was twenty years ago. 

After all, one's physical appearance could never be the same after twenty years.

"Lady Suyi had intentionally concealed her strength. Back then your strength was not as strong as it is now. Naturally, you had no idea about this. However, the old master knew it very well. When Lady Suyi had completely recovered and returned to the Mu family, she had downgraded to Spirit Warrior tier."

Mu Ling's breathing was getting more and more shallow.

Even Mu Ling could hardly accept the fact of being degraded from Advance Immortal Warrior tier to Lower Immortal Warrior tier, let alone Suyi—who had been degraded from Holy Warrior tier to Spirit Warrior tier.

Even after the degeneration, Suyi behaved as if nothing had happened. Why would Suyi do that if she did not love Mu Ling?

Suddenly, Mu Ling recalled the time when a group of people chased after him and wanted to kill him. Suddenly, a lady had stood before Mu Ling and blocked the pursuers so he could escape from it. 

In the end, Mu Ling still hurt himself despite that lady and had lost consciousness. Not long after, he regained consciousness and he could vaguely see the slim and stunning back of the lady who was a Spirit Warrior.

There was only a slim lady there who was fighting against a group of people.

Coincidently, Chen Qingyan had attained Spirit Warrior tier. 

Thinking of this, Mu Ling's heart trembled. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his palm. 

'No way! That lady must be Chen Qingyan!'

Although Mu Ling could hardly see the lady back then—he could not even see her hairstyle or attire, he was sure that the lady back then was Chen Qingyan. Chen Qingyan admitted it. She would never lie to Mu Ling. 

Moreover, Suyi was nowhere to be found back then. Mu Ling had always thought that Suyi had left him alone when he was in danger. He had never thought that Suyi might leave him because she had gotten caught up with something—perhaps, Suyi was gathering reinforcements. 

Otherwise, how could a Spirit Warrior handle so many warriors alone?

"Butler, I understand it now. I have wronged Suyi all this while. I truly feel sorry for her. I will make it up for Suyi for the rest of my life. However, Qingyan loved me wholeheartedly too. Please spare her life. I can't live without her." Mu Ling closed his eyes in agony.

Back then, there was a reason why Mu Ling had chosen Chen Qingyan. Suyi had a strong personality. Hence, she could live quite well even without Mu Ling.
