Chapter 1357: Chapter 1351

"Longteng Divine Doctor Chu Beiqing is your father?"

The Mu Family Patriarch couldn’t help but be moved upon hearing this.

He had more than just heard of Chu Beiqing’s reputation; he had some acquaintance with him.

"Are you truly Chu Beiqing’s daughter? But why don’t you have the surname Chu?"

"I follow my mother’s surname."

Xin Lin spread her hands.

"What’s so great about Chu Beiqing? He himself is just a fool."

Ghost Shiva scoffed.

"Third Sister, stop talking nonsense. Have you forgotten that during the Fengdong plague, it was Chu Beiqing who passed through and helped us resolve it."

After learning Xin Lin was Chu Beiqing’s daughter, the Mu Family Patriarch’s tone softened significantly.

"Your father helped Fengdong a great deal back then, and I still owe him a favor. It’s a pity that something happened to him later, and we never met again. When this illness was first diagnosed, I said if Chu Beiqing were still around, maybe there was still hope for me."

The Mu Family Patriarch shook his head.

How could he not know that even at Xin Lin’s age, even if she started learning medical skills in the womb, she could not have unparalleled skills.

"Even if my father were as he was back then, he wouldn’t be able to save you. Your illness is due to Ghost Energy invading your body. My father doesn’t understand Ghost Energy."

Xin Lin spoke truthfully.

Unexpectedly, her seemingly aloof father had indeed done quite a few warm-hearted things in the past.

Unfortunately, good deeds don’t always lead to good rewards; he was now harmed by others and remained befuddled.

"Forget it, since you are Chu Beiqing’s daughter, in consideration of an old friend’s kindness, let’s pass on the previous incidents. Moreover... the matter with Ziyue shall end here. Murong Ziyue, old man knows you have grievances towards Fengdong. Indeed, all these years, Fengdong has wronged you. You can leave Fengdong and continue studying at Qingtian Academy; your marriage matter shall end here."

The Mu Family Master had just noticed that Murong Ziyue’s Snake Shadow Whip already had six or seven parts of her father’s power from back then.

After many years, seeing the reappearance of his younger son’s martial skill, he seemed to see the shadow of his son in Murong Ziyue.

He couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, also knowing Murong Ziyue was a good martial arts prodigy.

Without him, she would not have good days at Fengdong; in that case, it would be better to let her stay at Qingtian Academy under the guise of study until the day she grows strong and establishes herself, which is even better.

"Thank you, Family Head..."

Murong Ziyue also didn’t expect the old Family Master would suddenly relent.

"But my mother’s marriage... Ziyue is willing to take my mother along to Qingtian Academy; Ziyue can support my mother on my own."

Murong Ziyue pleaded further.

"Murong Ziyue, don’t be insatiable. The old Family Master allowing you to study is already a great favor to you. What are you to dare haggle with the old Family Master here? Your mother has just been sent out of the city by me; soon, she will be sent to Yunshui City and married on a chosen day. Just give up."

Ghost Shiva smirked coldly upon hearing.

"You sent my mother away? Ghost Shiva! What has my mother ever done to you? She doesn’t want to marry your worthless son, and you force her to marry again?"

Murong Ziyue heard this, and her face instantly turned pale.

No wonder she hadn’t seen her mother.

"You little girl, who are you calling worthless?"

Ghost Shiva, upon hearing, burst into anger, ready to wield her cane.

"Not good! Something’s happened."

Outside the courtyard, Mu Chen hurried in.

"Ah Chen, what happened? Why are you shouting out loud?"

The old Family Master felt quite distressed.

"Something’s happened, the entourage for sending the bride met with an incident."
