Murong Yan asked, "Look, he hasn't appeared in the past few days, right? Can you feel his aura still inside you?"

Shen Mu shook his head: "No."

"That's it, he definitely doesn't want to come back."

"No." Shen Mu said affirmatively: "He is very obsessed with this body and has always wanted to control it alone. How could he not want to come back..."

Having said that, he suddenly remembered what his disciple had said to him.

The disciple said that Shen Yan assassinated him this time deliberately to lure him out...

How could this be?

Seeing Shen Mu frown, Murong Yan said: "I heard that the woman he loved most betrayed him. She is the Qiu'er you mentioned before."

"How could that be? Aren't they very loving? He even did that for her..." Shen Mu was a little unconvinced. Qiu'er was the woman Shen Yan held dear to his heart.

"I heard that Qiu'er's true love is Shen Yuan, and she's been using him as a substitute for all these years! Maybe after hearing this news, he doesn't want to live anymore."

After Murong Yan finished explaining, she remembered something and asked again, "You just said, what else did he do for her?"

Shen Mu paused, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

Murong Yan curled her lips: "He killed Shen Yuan for that Qiu'er, right?"

"How do you know?" Shen Mu was shocked.

"Not only me, Xiaojiu knows too, and everyone in Nanyang Marquis's mansion knows too... Oh, no, Nanyang Marquis probably doesn't know yet. The younger generation must be hiding it from him."

Shen Mu was silent.

Murong Yan grabbed his arm and asked, "Do you know where Shen Yuan's body is? Xiaojiu is looking for it everywhere. I think the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion knows the truth and wants to erect a formal monument to commemorate him..."

Seeing Shen Mu didn't say anything, Murong Yan became anxious: "Hurry up and tell me, if you know, it will be a great help to Xiao Jiu."

After a while, Shen Mu slowly said, "He is not dead."

"What did you say?" Murong Yan's eyes suddenly widened.

Shen Mu repeated: "Shen Yuan is not dead, I saved him."

"When Shen Yan killed Shen Yuan, perhaps because of the influence of blood, I woke up."

"At that time, in order to give that woman a good life, Shen Yan decided to impersonate Shen Yuan and enter the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion. He was worried that Shen Yuan's body would be recognized after he killed him, so he scratched his face with a knife and burned his face with an iron until it was unrecognizable..."

"They also forced him to swallow red-hot charcoal, burning his throat, and gave him dozens of different poisons..."

"I can sense Shen Yan's resentment. He feels that all his suffering over the years was caused by Shen Yuan, so he deliberately tortured him."

Shen Mu closed his eyes and said, "I was in great pain and confusion at the time, but I didn't do anything in the end. I just watched it all."

"Because I promised Shen Yan that I would give him this body, I should sleep forever..."

"I can't go back on my word..."

Murong Yan held the man's head in her arms, feeling reluctant, and asked softly, "And then?"

"Then..." Shen Mu continued, "When Shen Yan was about to slit Shen Yuan's throat, he received an emergency signal from Xingyue Pavilion and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he kicked Shen Yuan into the cliff."

"Later, late at night, I waited for Shen Yan to fall asleep, but secretly woke up and went to the bottom of the cliff to find Shen Yuan."

Shen Mu smiled when he said this: "He was lucky. There happened to be a lake under the cliff, and he fell into the lake."

"I didn't dare take him back. After giving him the life-saving elixir from the Xingyue Pavilion, I entrusted him to a farmer's family and gave them some money to help take care of him..."

"After doing this behind Shen Yuan's back, I felt guilty and forced myself to fall asleep..."

After hearing this old story, Murong Yan let out a long sigh. "It's great that Shen Yuan is not dead. I'll send a message to Xiaojiu tomorrow! By the way, do you still remember the location of that farmhouse?"

"I remember it very clearly." Shen Mu nodded and told Murong Yan in detail the address of the farmer's family that had entrusted Shen Yuan to her.

Watching Murong Yan write down the address, Shen Mu was still worried: "Yan'er, if Shen Yan still wants to come back, I..."
