Chapter 125 Never Leave
Looking at the way Nangong Min looked at her, how could Mu Jin not understand what Nangong Min meant by "a lifetime"?
Mu Jin suddenly felt a little afraid to face Nangong Min. She lowered her head with an evasive look. She had never thought that Nangong Min would have such feelings for her. This realization made her feel a little helpless.
Mu Jin looked down at the belt on her clothes, her fingers entwined around it non-stop, but her mind was not on it at all.
The two were silent for a long time, and Nangong Min slowly said: "I was born in Nangong Divine Sect. My father is the sect master, my mother is the spirit girl of Miao Palace, and my grandmother is the sect master before that. We are the only heir in the family. No matter whether the offspring is a boy or a girl, they will be the successor of the previous sect master."
"In the sect, I am the apple of everyone's eye. Not only my grandmother, but also my parents and elders of all tribes are very kind to me. They taught me skills and taught me how to love everyone and everything in this world."
"To outsiders, we are a mysterious tribe isolated from the world, but in fact, we are just like ordinary people. We often travel around the world disguised as ordinary people to treat those poor people who have no money for medical treatment."
"I remember when I was eight years old, my parents took me on a journey back to the clan. We met a boy covered in blood. The boy had no parents and was often ridiculed, beaten and scolded by the villagers. Even the house his parents left for him was taken away by the villagers. My parents couldn't bear it, so they healed his wounds and brought him back to the clan."
Mu Jin raised his eyes to look at Nangong Min and whispered, "Is that boy covered in blood Nangong Ce?"
Nangong Min nodded and continued, "The boy is two years older than me. When he first returned to the sect, he didn't want to talk to anyone. Later, I gave him all the gifts my parents and elders had given me. I kept talking to him every day, and he gradually smiled at me and would say a few words to me on weekdays."
"Once, he and I went to the valley to collect herbs and encountered a wolf. He protected me and fled with me. He pushed me up a big tree and fought with the wolf below. When the disciples of the sect arrived, he was almost bitten to death by the wolf. After returning from the mountain, my parents were grateful that he saved my life, so they adopted him as their son and named him Nangong Ce."
"Nangong Ce and I studied pharmacology and martial arts together, and traveled together. Since we grew up together and were of similar age, we were inevitably compared to each other by the people in the sect. In fact, Nangong Ce was very hardworking no matter what he learned. But maybe it was because of the special nature of my bloodline, in some aspects, Nangong Ce could not achieve it no matter how hard he tried. Some people even said that he was too violent, so I should be on guard against him."
"I don't like people saying that about him. He saved my life, and I don't believe anything bad about him. I warned those who said bad things about Nangong Ce, and comforted Nangong Ce not to be sad. I am also very humble to him in my daily life. My parents are very pleased to know this, and often praise me for being sensible. They also tell Nangong Ce not to pay attention to what outsiders say."
"When I was 16, I went traveling with my parents and Nangong Ce. One day, my parents were killed in their sleep in the inn bed for no reason. My parents are very good at martial arts, and ordinary masters can't get close to them, so how could they be killed so easily? Although there are many doubts, we can't find the murderer, so we can only let it go."
"The night before I inherited the position of the clan leader, after I came out of my grandmother's room, Nangong Ce suddenly came to me and said he wanted to talk to me about the ceremony of inheriting the position of the clan leader the next day. I didn't doubt him and followed him away. I just lost consciousness after drinking a cup of tea in his room."
"When I woke up, I was already in a closed water dungeon. My limbs were chained by him. Every hour, the water in the dungeon would be released to cover my head. When I was about to suffocate, the water would be released to let me breathe. Sometimes, he would pull me out of the water dungeon and beat me non-stop. However, I have a special physique, so no matter how horribly the wounds were beaten, they would slowly heal after a while. When Nangong Ce found out, he became even angrier and tortured me even more."
"Later, I learned that Nangong Ce wanted to inherit the position of the sect leader. He knew that the world revered Nangong Shenzong like a god, so he returned to the sect with us. Knowing that my father was the sect leader of Nangong Shenzong, he thought about how to get close to me and please my parents. He only knew that the sons of Nangong Shenzong in all generations inherited the position of the sect leader at the age of 18, but he didn't know the secret of our generations of blood."
"So he couldn't wait. He spent two years developing a calming incense to deal with my parents. He killed them while they were sleeping. He thought that after my parents died, the clan would help him take the position of clan leader."
Mu Jin said: "Fortunately, he doesn't know the secrets of your past generations. If he knew, he would have drained all your blood to make medicine."
Nangong Min spoke up to this point in one breath, but his body tensed unconsciously and he clenched his fists.
Mu Jin knew that when he recalled the past, it was as if he had experienced it all over again. She hurriedly grabbed Nangong Min's hand and whispered to him, "It's all in the past. Don't be afraid. I'll go back with you this time, and I'll make Nangong Ce pay the same price."
Nangong Min looked at Mu Jin holding his hand, and calmed down after a while. He put his backhand on the back of Mu Jin's hand. Only then did Mu Jin realize Nangong Min's feelings for her. She wanted to pull her hand away embarrassedly, but Nangong Min held it even tighter.
"I have also thought that if I could escape and survive, I would definitely go back and torture him in the same way. One day, two disciples in the water prison took advantage of Nangong Ce going down the mountain and released me. However, Nangong Ce's people soon found out and chased me all the way to Nanyue. When you met me, I thought I was going to die."
"Luckily you and General Mu saved me. I was like a newborn baby in the General's Mansion. By your side, I learned how to live and how to get along with others. In the process, I unknowingly developed feelings for you. I was very scared when I found out. I felt that it was a blasphemy against you."
"The night I went to the bandit's den to look for you, I suddenly remembered the past. I was filled with rage. I felt that those bandits were just like Nangong Ce. They took away the people and everything that mattered to me. I kept killing them. Later, I found you. I looked at my hideous face. What was the difference between Nangong Ce and me?"
"The night I returned to Prince Yun's Mansion with you, I thought a lot. I wondered whether to leave you and return to Nangong Divine Sect to seek revenge, or to stay by your side as a little guard. Later, I got in touch with the people in the sect and learned that my grandmother was living well in the sect. I watched you being plotted against time and time again in the capital, and I was worried about you. If Nangong Ce hadn't discovered that I was alive and was planning to harm you, I would have planned to continue to be the Eleventh with no memories and stay by your side forever."
Mu Jin whispered, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. You want to let Nangong Ce go, but why would he want to let you go? You will never be able to get rid of him. You are Nangong Min's past."
