C516 516 Surprise

On a hill not far from the town, two white-haired men stood facing each other as the night breeze blew by. One old, one young, both had different expressions on their faces.

"Master, why do you want to kidnap Ruo Qing? This way is useless."

Under the night sky, Mo Rong Tian's head of silver strands were blown up by the night wind, causing his originally heavy shoulders to become even heavier, as if he had that kind of loneliness that no one could understand.

Throughout his life, he had walked alone and fought alone in order to accomplish a mission that was unlikely to be completed. Sometimes, he really felt so exhausted that he couldn't even breathe. Both of his knees couldn't straighten out from the weight of that task.

Liu Ruo Qing's appearance was within his expectations, but it was within his expectations. She just did not expect that she would have any sort of feelings for her.

She broke into his lonely heart like that, too fast for him to guard against.

She wasn't a woman that stunned him for a moment, but when he faced her, he could always feel an indescribable sense of relaxation.

Perhaps, this kind of relaxation was what moved her the most. After all, he had never felt that kind of relaxation in his life before.

Therefore, when he heard that his master had sent people to kidnap Ruo Qing at the Main Hall, he was both worried and afraid.

What he was worried about was that his subordinates unknowingly hurt her. What he was afraid of was that the seemingly heartless but actually abnormally smart girl would discover his true identity with his master from the smallest details.

He was afraid that he would never be able to approach her again, that he would never let her speak to him so easily and defensively.

He was afraid that the only breath of fresh air on his path to revenge would also leave him.

"I have my own reasons for doing so. Young master need not worry."

"But Ruo Qing was injured, and almost died!"

Mo Rong Tian clenched his teeth, and his tone became a bit heavier.

Liu Qian Xun, who was standing in front of him, merely glanced at him and said, "This time round, Qing Er's injuries were not caused by our people. If someone beside Yan Yuan wants to kill her, even if it wasn't for this incident, that girl might not have been able to escape this calamity."

"What?" Someone at Yan Yuan's side wanted to kill her? "Who is it?"

Mo Rong Tian's expression was a little colder than before, and a little more anxious.

"We are not sure who it is, but he is definitely someone close to Yan Yuan. Qing Er will pay attention to this matter, Young Master should not put too much thought into this matter."

Liu Qian Xun looked at Mo Rong Tian meaningfully, knowing what this little master was thinking about his own disciple.

However, they had plotted for more than ten years and spent so much effort and manpower to reach such a scale. He absolutely could not let his Young Master ruin half of his life just because of love.

Mo Rong Tian looked at Liu Qian Xun and understood what Liu Qian Xun meant.

From the moment he could remember, the only responsibility he had was to restore the Mo family's mountains and rivers. Since this was his fated mission, he resigned himself to his fate and accepted it.

He also never thought that in this life, there would be someone that he would care about other than his own tasks.

However, he couldn't think too much about it because his identity meant that he was destined to never have the qualifications to do so in his entire life.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything. He only nodded, "Disciple understands."

"If you can truly understand it, then I won't have wasted my efforts."

Liu Qian Xun stroked his beard, and looked deeply at Mo Rong Tian, "I'm afraid that Qing Er is about to wake up, I need to go back first, you must immediately return to the capital, don't let her suspect you."

That little girl usually seemed to be careless and careless. However, when it came to important matters, she was as meticulous as dust. If there were any clues, perhaps she would be able to see through them.

Even though that girl was not frightening, it remained that she had been raised by him since she was young. Thus, he still possessed some understanding of her abilities. Thus, he still had some misgivings in his heart.

"Master."

The moment Liu Qian Xun turned around, Mo Rong Tian still called out to him, "How are Ruo Qing's injuries?"

Liu Qian Xun did not turn back, but he could feel the conflict and struggle on Mo Rong Tian's face, as well as the restraint he was trying his best to put in.

"My liver is injured, my life is saved. I will need some time to recover."

Behind him, there was a short period of silence, followed by Mo Rong Tian's slightly hoarse voice that resounded once again, "Then … Senior Sister will depend on Master. "

He used an estranged form of address to cut off his feelings towards Liu Ruo Qing that he shouldn't have had from the very beginning.

Liu Qian Xun nodded, and did not turn back from the start. He took a few quick steps forward, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yan Yuan's injuries were heavy to begin with, adding to the fact that his wounds had been torn a few times just to save Liu Ruo Qing, the wounds on his lungs had been torn apart. If not for Liu Qian Xun, he probably would have died a long time ago.

But even if he was saved, Yan Yuan had not woken up for a few days.

Liu Ruo Qing's condition was not bad, but because of the injury to her liver, it was impossible for him to recover from it in a short period of time.

"Master, how is Yan Yuan?"

Because he had some doubts about Liu Qian Xun previously, in these few days, Liu Ruo Qing's heart was filled with contradictions when he was facing Liu Qian Xun.

At one moment, he felt that he should guard against him, at the next, he felt that he was indulging in wild thoughts. He actually suspected that his master, who had given him the favor of raising him, should not have come here.

These days, these contradictory thoughts had been lingering in her heart and constantly torturing her.

"He hurt his lungs. That barb was very deep. It could be considered his luck that he was able to recover his life."

Liu Qian Xun answered truthfully, seeing Liu Ruo Qing frown, as though he was worried about something, he said: "Don't worry, this boy met me, it can be considered his good fortune, dying won't be that easy."

Liu Qian Xun's words had evidently made Liu Ruo Qing feel relieved, but at the same time, the contradiction in his heart was growing stronger.

If Master was really People from the Divine Artefact Hall, then if Yan Yuan died, then it would be a huge blessing for Shen Ji Hall. Why did Master not take advantage of this opportunity to make Yan Yuan completely die, and instead try his best to save her?

Could it be … Did she really think too much?

Thinking that his master was a modern man, he didn't have any connections with these ancient people. Furthermore, he clearly knew that she was the Crown Princess Jing, how could he help her?

After thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing felt that this kind of reason could only be explained when she thought too much into it.

Liu Qian Xun saw that she did not say a word, and thought that she was worried about Yan Yuan's injuries. He thought for a moment, then continued: "Previously, I heard that the poison in his body had already seeped into his veins, but after taking a look at his meridians these few days, I discovered that the poison in his heart was moving outside. Do you know what happened?"
