Morning Star

It was not until Mu Qiqi mentioned the name Ling Yun that Bai Ximin reacted. His eyes began to focus and he looked at Mu Qiqi, listening carefully to every word Ling Yun said when she sent him there that day.

Mu Qiqi smiled and said, "She told me to take good care of you. So, she didn't stop loving you, didn't want to sever ties with you, and didn't want to break off all ties with you. These were all... my father forced her to do."

She paused and lowered her head, not daring to look at him again: "I'm sorry, Brother Ximin, I'm sorry."

"..." Bai Ximin looked at her blankly.

Is what she said true?

Ling Yun still loves him, and the blood letter was only written by the sect leader who forced her to do so.

She still loves him!

Thinking of this, Bai Ximin felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a light appeared in his heart.

After a long while, he looked at Mu Qiqi and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

Mu Qiqi laughed at herself: "You two really... said the same thing."

Bai Ximin glanced at the door coldly, then turned to look at Mu Qiqi.

He has a plan to wipe out Luoyun Sect in one fell swoop, and he needs Mu Qiqi's help. However, the result is a bit cruel for Mu Qiqi, but he has to do it. For Lingyun, for himself, and for his dead clansmen.

He hated Luoyun Sect. He hated it since he was ten years old and found out that it was Luoyun Sect that caused his entire clan to be exterminated. Not only did he have to endure this hatred every day in Luoyun Sect, but he also had to be used by the Sect Master of Luoyun Sect. He wished he could cut them into pieces.

But this does not include Mu Qiqi and Lu Ajin, so he will find a way to get them to leave and go to a place where no one can find them.

As for him, he would destroy Luoyun Sect by himself, and let them also have a taste of what it feels like to have their entire clan wiped out. After that, he would go find Lingyun, so that no one would stop the two of them, and they would never have to separate again. Then they would have children together, and grow old together.

Thinking of this, Bai Ximin's eyes were filled with happiness and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Mu Qiqi rarely saw Bai Ximin smile like this, and she was a little confused: "Brother Ximin, what are you laughing at?"

"..."

Bai Ximin retracted the smile on his face after hearing this and said to her, "Help me get on the bed."

"Ah?" Mu Qiqi didn't react.

"I said help me lie down on the bed." Bai Ximin said it again patiently.

"Oh, okay." Mu Qiqi finally reacted.

She stood up and helped Bai Ximin up. She then helped him sit on the bed. Just as she was about to let go, he pulled her into his arms and they both fell on the bed.

"Hey!" She was startled.

Mu Qiqi wanted to leave Bai Ximin, but he held her tightly and wouldn't let her go.

"No, Brother Ximin, what are you doing?" Mu Qiqi lay on Bai Ximin, not daring to move.

Bai Ximin said in a very low voice: "Walls have ears. I have a plan and I need your help."

"Brother Ximin, you say." Mu Qiqi also said in a very low voice.

Bai Ximin paused for a moment and said, "Go inside, don't press on me."

Mu Qiqi: “…”

She was speechless but did it anyway.

He had clearly pulled her towards him just now, and now he was asking her not to press on him. Ha, man.

Mu Qiqi lay down inside and asked in a low voice: "Okay, tell me."

So Bai Ximin looked at Mu Qiqi seriously and said, "I promised your father to marry you, and then..."

An hour later, Mu Qiqi left Bai Ximin's room.

Since then, Bai Ximin no longer lived like a ghost every day like before. He began to eat seriously and take good care of his recurring injuries.

During this period, he was still locked in his own room, and only Mu Qiqi visited him a few times.

Several months have passed since Lingyun left.

That day, there were rumors in teahouses and restaurants that the Luoyun Sect's leader's first disciple would marry the Luoyun Sect's leader's only daughter in a month.

Everyone was talking about how well-matched they were, and how much of a good couple they were. Only Ling Yun, who was buying the elixir needed for his father's treatment on the street, felt despair. It was as if something had collapsed.

Isn't this good? This way he will be fine, and he won't have to be hurt for her anymore, right? But why is her heart still so sad, she should be happy?

Smile! Lingyun, you should be happy, you should be happy...

After buying the elixir, Ling Yun walked home with a smile on his face, but tears were flowing out uncontrollably.

It was already dark when Ling Yun returned to Yuejia Village, but the villagers had not turned off the lights in their homes, especially the lanterns at the door. The warm candlelight in the lanterns illuminated the road.

It is the custom of Yuejia Village to keep lanterns at the doorstep every night so that the villagers who return late can find their way home.

Ling Yun returned home, mixed the elixir with some other herbs, boiled it, filled a bowl, and brought it to a room.

There was a bed in the room, and lying on it was a man in his forties. He had a handsome face, but at the moment he was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was no sign of him opening his eyes.

Ling Yun looked at the man on the bed, picked up the boiled medicine, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, blew gently at the corner of his mouth, and then fed it into his mouth.

As she fed the baby, tears welled up in her eyes and a tear quietly slid down her face.

While feeding the man medicine, Ling Yun whispered, "Daddy, he's getting married. In a month. The person he's going to marry is my good sister, Qiqi, whom I told you about before. Qiqi is very good..."

That night she stayed by the man's side, telling him about her past with him, which she had told him many times before. When she got tired of talking, she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

More than half a month has passed, and there are still six days before Bai Ximin and Mu Qiqi's wedding.

That day, Ling Yun bought elixirs and returned to Yuejia Village as usual.

She walked to the entrance of the village, feeling somewhat puzzled. Why didn't she see any children or elderly people in the village?

We walked a little further and it was still very quiet, as quiet as if there was no life. At the same time, a smell of blood came with the breeze in the air.

Her pupils trembled suddenly and she ran forward quickly.

After a while she froze in her tracks.

There was blood in front of them, all blood red. All the villagers in Yuejia Village lay there quietly, their eyes closed, their bodies covered in blood.

They fell in a pool of blood like broken dolls. They could never speak again, never smile at her again, never call her name again...

She stared at the scene in front of her blankly, feeling a heart-wrenching pain in her heart.

She was shaking all over, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word or make a single sound. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she collapsed to the ground.
