Chapter 1193: Tian Shen Manor’s Difficulty VII

The Mu family.

The old master Mu was sitting high above everyone. His face darkened, and his gaze was cold and serious.

Besides Mu Ling, there were a few uncles of the Mu family sitting below him.

These people looked unpleasant, and some of them frowned.

“Master, if the Qin family wants to rebel, we have to choose one of them. Qin Fei’er’s strength has surpassed Gu Shi now. If we side with the Gu family, maybe… The Mu family will be in deep trouble.”

“That’s right, Master. Anyway, Gu Shi has seized his place as the chief manor. His action is illegitimate, and he might be destroyed as his strength is not powerful enough right now. So why should we interfere?”

“In my opinion, it’s better for us to side with the Qin family. Don’t be like that fool of the Luo family, who was captured by the Qin family for supporting Gu Shi. Now their fate is unknown, and those clansmen of the Luo family all hate him to death.”

“Master, for the sake of the Mu family, you must make a choice. It’s not easy for our Mu family to survive in Tian Shen Manor for so many years. We can’t let our empire be destroyed by them.”

Old Master Mu’s cold face grew colder, yet he never uttered a single word, and the people were unable to guess what was on his mind.

Just then, a light laugh came from outside the door.

They turned their heads and saw a beautiful figure with a long snow-colored robe coming from the door.

From the moment Suyi appeared, Mu Ling’s eyes were fixed on her. His eyes were somewhat dazed as he could not keep his eyes off her.

He had not been able to get close to Suyi since she moved into the old master’s yard a year ago.

It was as if… Time was stopped at this moment. His eyes were filled with the figure of a woman who looked like an immortal, stunning like their first encounter back then.

Time had blessed her as she had no marks on her face. Compared to him and Chen Qingyan… Both were already old.

Only she remained the same, stunning as before.

Suyi walked in with a smile. “It’s impossible for you guys to give up Gu Shi. The old master and Gu Shi have decided the marriage between Xiao Qingyin and Gu Yiyi. Just wait for them to come back to set the marriage. Do you think the old master will abandon the Gu family and Xiao Qingyin?”

The uncles’ expressions had changed drastically. They hated Chen Qingyan and accepted Suyi, but for them, the Mu family’s matters must come first, and conspiring with Gu Shi at this time would send them to death!

“Young lady, Master and the Gu family only made a verbal agreement, so it doesn’t matter. Since the second young master has recovered, there are no worries about finding another woman.”

Suyi smiled and said, “Firstly, I’m not the young lady of the Mu family as your young lady is only Chen Qingyan! Secondly, Xiao Qingyin and the old master are both men of great affection, what makes you think that they would abandon Gu Shi?”

The hall was windless, but the corner of Suyi’s robe was swaying gently. Her gaze was as calm as before, but the coldness in her black eyes was unsettling.

Pop!

Old Master Mu smashed the table with his hand and stood violently. “That’s enough!”

“Master!”

“Everything will be done according to Suyi’s words, and since I’ve promised Gu Shi to get married, I won’t break that promise.”

What was the difference between a man and a beast if he did not keep his word?

He was not Mu Ling, who could ignore the promise he had given to Suyi back then.

He had promised Gu Shi with the engagement, and no matter what, the Mu family could not break their promise!
