Morning Star

Chapter 246 She Absolutely Doesn’t Want to Watch Him Die

more than ten years ago.

"Congnan, can you promise me one thing? Even though it's a bit of a loss for you."

"Then don't say it."

"No, I have to say it, otherwise there will be no chance."

"What do you mean? What do you mean there's no chance?"

Mo Lingfan didn't answer him, but went straight to the point: "If I have a child one day in the future, please help me take care of him when he comes to your house. If he gets into trouble by accident, help me save him."

Although he refused on the surface later, he agreed in his heart.

I didn't understand why Mo Lingfan suddenly said that before, but now I understand. It turns out that Mo Xinglan is his child.

If you think about it this way, everything can be explained.

But thinking about the fact that Xiang Tingqin knew about this, but he didn't, he got angry for a moment and stood up without backing down: "If I knew at the time that this child was born to the Demon Lord and him, how could I have agreed?"

After he finished speaking, Xiang Tingqin was stunned for a moment, then smiled coldly, with a hint of bitterness in his laughter: "Yes, your Chu family is a righteous cultivator who slays demons and exorcises evil. They are a noble family and will always look down on anyone who has any connection with the devil."

"I..." Chu Congnan paused, then asked in confusion, "Why is it my Chu family? You are my wife, you are also from the Chu family."

When she said this, Chu Wenxuan beside her was also stunned. His lips trembled and he bit his lower lip and lowered his head, smiling bitterly.

Here they go again, when will they be able to discuss this in peace and quiet?

They always quarrel over trivial matters.

They would act like good fathers and mothers in front of their younger sisters, and only show their true colors in front of him.

But he was the eldest son and the older brother, so how could he tell his younger sisters about the quarrel between his parents?

Xiang Tingqin shook her head and smiled: "If I tell you that I was the one who secretly helped Demon Lord Bai Yue'er, would you still recognize me as your wife?"

After she finished speaking, everyone present except her was shocked.

The person who couldn't believe it the most was Chu Congnan: "No, no, no, you are just saying those words to me in anger, right? You haven't even met her, how can you be related to her? You are just saying those words to me in anger."

As he said this, he reached out to comfort her: "Okay, I was wrong, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

However, she waved him away with her hand and said with a bitter smile: "You have guessed it a long time ago, right? Why deceive yourself? Let me tell you the truth. When I told you to go find Brother Lingfan, actually..."

"You just went to find Mo Lingfan back then, just to find him, because he raised you and he is your brother. You were just in a bad mood and wanted to talk to him, nothing else." She was interrupted by Chu Congnan before she finished her words, looking at her firmly.

He knew that Xiang Tingqin and Bai Yue'er had a relationship, and guessed that Mo Lingfan and Bai Yue'er had some kind of relationship, but he didn't expect that the person who married Mo Lingfan was actually the Demon Lord Bai Yue'er. After the marriage, Bai Yue'er never showed up in front of the public, and few people knew what she looked like.

The woman used a pseudonym "Bai Yu" and even deceived the then patriarch of the Mo family.

"..."

This time Xiang Tingqin did not continue speaking, but her eyes were full of sadness.

He is still deceiving himself.

She hated this about him, but it was also because of this that she was unwilling to leave him even after arguing with him so many times.

Sitting beside the couch, Chujiu finally understood why Chu Congnan couldn't tolerate Mo Xinglan. It turned out that everything was for Xiang Tingqin.

Xiang Tingqin once had dealings with Bai Yue'er. If others knew that she was colluding with the devil, she would be looked down upon by the cultivators and would be accused of a crime. However, this matter was forgotten because of Bai Yue'er's death.

But Mo Xinglan happened to be Bai Yue'er's son. Xiang Tingqin's desire to protect Mo Xinglan must be related to Bai Yue'er, which would in turn involve the past dealings between her and Bai Yue'er.

Chu Congnan had to kill Mo Xinglan to protect Xiang Tingqin, but he also promised Mo Xinglan's father Mo Lingfan to protect Mo Xinglan. He couldn't disobey both sides, so he had to abandon Mo Xinglan. Handing Mo Xinglan over to the Mo family, saying that he was protecting him, was actually no different from killing him.

But how could Chujiu possibly let Chu Congnan hand Mo Xinglan over to the Mo family?

She absolutely did not want to watch him die.

He looked at Chu Congnan and opened his mouth, but his hand was held just as he was about to speak.

She looked down at Mo Xinglan and found that his eyes had become clear without her noticing.

Puzzled, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Help me up." Although his eyes brightened a lot when he looked at her, his voice was still weak.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently helped him sit up.

Afraid that he had no strength left, she let him lean on her and put one hand around his waist from behind.

However, she didn't know that after asking Liu Yue, he secretly tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body to spread it throughout the meridians to control the injuries and relieve the pain.

This is not a long-term solution, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy and is of limited time, but at least it can keep him awake and make speaking less strenuous.

At this time, Xiang Tingqin finally calmed down and sat back in her chair.

And as soon as she sat down, Chu Congnan would naturally sit down as well.

However, neither of them spoke, and each went in his own direction.

Different opinions and different ideas will easily lead to another argument if we continue talking.

After a long silence, Mo Xinglan said softly, "The dispute between my uncle and aunt was caused by me. I'm sorry."

Xiang Tingqin sighed: "It's not your fault. This day will come sooner or later."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Congnan again: "I know that my uncle wanted to let the Mo family take me away in order to protect my aunt and the Chu family."

He paused and frowned slightly: "But, I think even if I don't say it, you know that the head of the Mo family wants more than just to strengthen the family's strength."

"If I return to the Mo family, I am sure that the strength of the Mo family will increase exponentially."

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his lips uncomfortably and coughed a few times.

Chujiu was worried and said softly, "Don't talk."

But he put his hand down and said nonchalantly: "It's okay."

"Aren't you saying all this just to want my Chu family to protect you? Although I promised your father to protect you, don't forget that your life is not worth more than my Chu family. For the future of the Chu family, I am not afraid to be a treacherous person. What's more, you are the son of the Demon Lord, I can easily kill you." Chu Congnnan looked at him with disdain.

This time, Xiang Tingqin just glanced at him indifferently, because she didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore, and it would be tiring to talk too much.

Mo Xinglan didn't care: "Uncle, you worry too much. I don't want the Chu family's protection, I just want to remind you. Looking at the whole Hualing, there are many aristocratic families, but the only one who can compete with the Mo family is the Chu family."
