Chapter 537 - The Emperor Who Ran Away I

“Taking a concubine is not the same as taking a first wife. The old master’s consent is not required for taking a concubine. However, the first wife must be arranged by the parents.” Mu Ling’s face slightly darkened.

“Hearing your words, I feel like I am not Nan Xian’s parent. Since Nan Xian’s marriage is to be arranged by his parents, as his mother, I’ll take charge of his marriage. He can marry whomever he likes,” Suyi said with a faint smile on her face.

“Suyi, since you are not willing to go back, naturally, you are not part of the Mu family. If you would go back together with me, you might be able to arrange his marriage.” Hearing Suyi’s words, Mu Ling had nearly burst with rage. However, seeing Suyi’s cold face, he calmed down a little.

No matter what, Suyi must return to the Mu family together with Mu Ling. This time, she must not leave him. They had been separated for years and he had been missing her for more than a decade.

“Unfortunately, Nan Xian’s surname is not Mu. He is not part of the Mu family. The people of the Mu family can never control his life,” Suyi said, flatly.

Just like Suyi, no one could force Nan Xian to do the things that he did not like.

Mu Ling had truly reckoned without his host.

“Suyi, why do you still not get me? Everything that I do, I do it for Nan Xian. Moreover, Tang Yin is a special lady. it would be extremely good for Nan Xian if he marries her.” Mu Ling clenched his fists tightly.

‘Tang Yin?’ The two words were buzzing in the white phoenix’s ears. The white phoenix knew that Mu Ling had gotten Nan Xian a betrothed from the Tang family. However, it did not know that Tang Yin was the one.

If the white phoenix was not mistaken, the lady who took the white phoenix’s feather was also called Tang Yin.

The white phoenix’s body stiffened. It remembered Tang Yin said that Nan Xian was her love rival. Although white phoenix did not know since when Nan Xian had become Tang Yin’s love rival nor did it understand the relationship between Tang Yin and Feng Ruqing, it knew that Tang Yin held grudges against Nan Xian.

‘This bastard wants Nan Xian to marry Tang Yin?’

“Mu Ling, your marriage has nothing to do with me, but if you dare to stop Nan Xian from chasing his happiness, I will kill you at all cost.” Suyi smiled coldly.

“Suyi, how did we come to this state?” Suyi’s words were as if dealing a blow at Mu Ling’s heart, he could feel a prickling pain at his heart.

Both Mu Ling and Suyi were so in love with each other before. How did they come into such a sorry state?

“Idiot!” The white phoenix’s heart was trembling with rage and it spurted a ferocious flame once again.

Mu Ling did not dodge the flame and merely stared at Suyi. Only when the flame had reached him did he raise his arm to dodge the flame.

Originally, Mu Ling thought that the flame was nothing. However, when his arm touched the flame, he could feel a burning sensation on his arm. Seeing the back of his hand that was burnt, he put his hand at his back—his eyes were icy cold.

Even if the white phoenix was not fully grown up, it was capable of hurting Mu Ling. When it was completely grown, even the entire Mu family would not be able to handle it.

However, this white phoenix was Suyi’s pet. Hence, Mu Ling simply could not do anything to it.

“You had it coming! It was you who had caused both of you to be in such a sorry state. Now, you even want Nan Xian to follow your path? Luckily, Nan Xian is not like you. If he really were to take a concubine and Xiao Qingqing was to leave him, serves him right then! The white phoenix stared at Mu Ling with its taunting eyes.
