"I ca to check on you."
Mu Qingchuan walked into the small pavilion and looked at Mu Qingxue, saying, "Qingxue, why are you still awake so late? Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Brother, I know my own body."
Mu Qingxue gently shook her head and said, "Brother, have the Tang Family people left?"
"They’ve left, but they’ve arranged with Grandpa; the fifth of next month is an auspicious day, and they’ll marry you into the Tang Family then," Mu Qingchuan said softly.
"Brother, I understand."
After hearing these words, Mu Qingxue’s body trembled slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed across her face. She felt uneasy at heart, even a bit lost. Deep down, she hoped that when she was about to marry into the Tang Family, Lu Tianxing would appear like a hero and whisk her away.
However, she also didn’t want Lu Tianxing to show up. The Tang Family obviously knew about her relationship with Lu Tianxing, and they held a deep grudge against the Lu Family. If Lu Tianxing appeared, the Tang Family would surely stop at nothing to try to kill him, which was sothing she didn’t want to see.
So, Mu Qingxue was very conflicted at the mont.
Seeing Mu Qingxue’s expression, Mu Qingchuan sighed slightly, his face full of helplessness. Even though he had long known that his sister was deeply in love with Lu Tianxing, he felt powerless, unable to do anything.
"Qingxue, are you really going to go through with what I suggested? Perhaps it will only bring you more pain," Mu Qingchuan took a deep breath and said to Mu Qingxue.
While in Jiangnan, he told Mu Qingxue to take a fake death pill and enter a state of suspended animation. If Lu Tianxing ca to save her, it would an he truly cared for her; if he didn’t, then naturally, she would marry into the Tang Family, which could be the greatest pain for her.
After all, as the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a heart left unfulfilled. Knowing she was to be married, while the one she loved did nothing out of fear of the Tang Family’s power, just watching her marry another--that was a deadly blow for any woman, the greatest of pains.
"I know, but I want to try."
Mu Qingxue sighed deeply, looking at Mu Qingchuan, speaking suddenly, "Brother, why did you co looking for so late today? Did sothing happen to Tianxing?"
Speaking, Mu Qingxue suddenly grabbed Mu Qingchuan’s arm, worry etched across her face. It was almost midnight, and Mu Qingchuan’s visit couldn’t be baseless, just to talk. Since it wasn’t, there was only one explanation: sothing had happened to Lu Tianxing.
"Qingxue, calm down, there’s nothing wrong, Lu Tianxing is fine."
Mu Qingchuan looked at Mu Qingxue’s worry and sighed, saying, "I just ca to tell you that Lu Tianxing is now in Beijing."
Upon hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, Mu Qingxue’s face changed slightly and imdiately spoke with so urgency, "Brother, how did Tianxing co to Beijing? What happened? No matter what, he shouldn’t be here. Brother, please, take away from here, I need to see Tianxing, I need to make him leave Beijing."
Why Beijing? It’s the city where dreams rise to fa, but for Lu Tianxing, it was a lion’s den. In Jiangnan, Lu Tianxing killed Yang Family mbers and clashed with the Tang Family. Staying in Jiangnan ant safety, but appearing in Beijing was like walking into the lion’s den, a death sentence, even if Old Sir Lu were alive.
As a mber of a prominent family, not from a humble background, she keenly understood this. Sotis, to kill soone, you need not lay a finger; there are plenty of strategies like using soone else to do it for you.
Seeing Qingxue’s anxious expression, Mu Qingchuan gave a bitter smile; he didn’t know if Lu Tianxing would be alright, but he knew the Church, the Holy Mountain, and those scheming against Lu Tianxing would suffer. Two invincible figures, Elder Lu and the North Spear’s disciple, if they joined forces, anyone daring to harm Lu Tianxing would face certain death.
Mu Qingchuan spoke softly, "Qingxue, don’t get worked up; Lu Tianxing will undoubtedly be fine. Have you forgotten Jiangnan? When has he ever failed? If he’s in Beijing, he’s prepared. Rest assured."
Hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, Mu Qingxue’s heart slowly settled, "That’s good, as long as he’s alright."
Looking at Qingxue’s face, Mu Qingchuan couldn’t help saying, "Qingxue, have you really thought this through? Following my suggestion ans you may never return to the Mu Family, and you’ll have to share him with many won..."
"Brother, I know."
Mu Qingxue interrupted, determined, "I know he has many won around him, but I can’t help it; I’m trapped in this. Regardless of how many won there are, I just hope for a place by his side, that’s enough for ."
Hearing Mu Qingxue’s determined words, Mu Qingchuan sighed helplessly again; his sister seed beyond help. "Since you’ve said this, I won’t say more. Whatever you do, I’ll support you, as long as you’re happy, that’s my happiness."
"Thank you, brother."
Mu Qingxue looked at Mu Qingchuan gratefully.
Mu Qingchuan smiled slightly, saying, "I’m your brother; who else would support you? During this ti, stay ho and follow our plan—don’t let anyone detect a flaw, okay?"
"Brother, you underestimate ; acting is my forte." Mu Qingxue looked at Mu Qingchuan with gratitude.
"Of course, my sister is an Oscar-winning actress delayed by singing," Mu Qingchuan said, gently tapping Mu Qingxue’s nose with a smile. "Alright, it’s late now, Qingxue. Rest early. If anything happens, tell , don’t do anything foolish, okay?"
"Mhm."
Mu Qingxue nodded lightly.
Mu Qingchuan smiled, reaching out to gently pat Mu Qingxue’s head, then turned and walked away.
Watching Mu Qingchuan’s retreating figure, Mu Qingxue didn’t imdiately return to her room; instead, she sat quietly in the pavilion, looking at the shimring pond, lost in thought.
...
anwhile, in the Han Family Hotel, the battle had reached its most critical mont.
Just as Lu Tianxing was about to enter a state of combat, Xue Bing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Tianxing, "Lu... Lu Tianxing, stop right there."
Upon hearing Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and his actions ca to an abrupt halt. Seeing Xue Bing’s current state, a bitter smile flashed in his mind; this girl was surely teasing him, otherwise, why stop halfway through?
Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing suppressed his heart’s flutter and said with a bitter smile, "I’m sorry, Xiao Bing, I got carried away and I want to apologize..."
Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Xue Bing interrupted rudely, "Lu Tianxing, what do you an by that?"
Stunned by her remark, Lu Tianxing was montarily taken aback, looking at Xue Bing, unable to understand; wasn’t she unwilling?
"Hmph, ever since we first t, you’ve been picking on , and I still can’t beat you even now. But this ti, you wanted to take the lead; well, let tell you, you’re dreaming! This ti, I want to be on top, as payback."
With that, Xue Bing, seemingly out of nowhere, mustered a strength that caught Lu Tianxing off guard, hugging his waist, and flipped onto his chest...
