Chapter 1005: The Old Master Has Recovered X
Chen Qingyan’s eyes widened in bewilderment and then it was overtaken by resentment.
“I… I am still alive? Why didn’t you let me die? I have made so many mistakes. I must offer up my life as a penance! Why are you saving me?”
“Qingyan!” Mu Ling was overjoyed. Just as he wanted to rush up to Chen Qingyan, Feng Ruqing shot Mu Ling a glance.
“Nan Xian, stop him!”
As soon as Feng Ruqing finished her words, a young master in a white robe stood before Mu Ling, stopping him from moving further.
Currently, the old master and everyone present were taking Feng Ruqing’s side. The people of the Mu family were burning with rage as Chen Qingyan had used up too much spirit herbs from the Mu family. They were no longer defending Chen Qingyan. They did not even care if she died.
The relationship between these people and Chen Qingyan was built on spirit herbs. Without spirit herbs, Chen Qingyan was nothing. Naturally, no one would spare her a glance now.
Bang!
Feng Ruqing took out a long sword and threw it on the ground, right before Chen Qingyan.
“If you truly want to offer up your life to prove your innocence, I could give you a hand. However, I must remind you that since you have decided to take your own life, please thrust this sword right in your heart. The stab just now was too light and has only hurt your skin. You have even avoided all the organs just now. Since you want to die, stab it right in your heart. No one can save you by then.”
Chen Qingyan’s face stiffened. She lowered her eyes to look at the long sword. Then, she raised her head only to see Feng Ruqing with a spurious smile on her face. She could feel a chill from her feet all the way up into her heart.
“Feng Ruqing!” Mu Huan exploded with rage.
Mu Huan’s voice annoyed Feng Ruqing. She kicked Mu Huan and sent her falling into the crowd. A few people quickly rushed over and held onto Mu Huan’s body, so she could not move the slightest.
Originally, Mu Xi had wanted to move forward. Seeing this, he stood still and dared not move.
Currently, Chen Qingyan was the only one who had confronted Feng Ruqing in the clan’s hall.
“You may start now. Since you are highly principled—you know that you have made a mistake and wanted to die to clear your name, I am truly impressed. Hence, I am giving you a chance to do this. Come on, take this sword and stab it right here. You will soon be in Elysium.” Feng Ruqing looked down at Chen Qingyan.
Feng Ruqing forcefully took Chen Qingyan’s hand to hold onto the sword and made a gesture toward Chen Qingyan’s heart.
‘Are you a demon? Can’t you see that Chen Qingyan is so frightened and has nearly turned into a stone?’ The people of the Mu family were dumbfounded.
However, seeing Chen Qingyan’s reaction, the people of the Mu family could not help laughing at themselves—perhaps, Chen Qingyan had shown her true colors. Everything that she did was nothing but a lie.
“Nan Xian, stay away!” Mu Ling snarled. Currently, Chen Qingyan’s safety was the only thing in his mind.
“If you dare to move a little, I will kill both of you,” Nan Xian said blandly. His face was nonchalant.
Nan Xian’s words carried great weight. Mu Ling quickly calmed down and did not utter a word. He knew that Nan Xian always kept his words. If he continued, Nan Xian would surely kill him and Chen Qingyan. Perhaps, he would even lay a hand on Mu Huan and Mu Xi.
‘Qingyan, stay calm or you may lose your life.’ Mu Ling could not help but stare at Chen Qingyan anxiously. His hands were covered with cold sweat.
Sure enough, Chen Qingyan did not stab the sword in her heart. Was it proof that she was acting just now?
