Chapter 384 (1/2)
“You?” Chu Yunsheng felt a little bit strange. But soon he realized what she was saying.
“No, you just want to take advantage of her!” he rejected.
“But she doesn’t have other choices!” Mu Xijun walked closer and said sternly.
“She doesn’t have a choice, but I do! She does not need to be involved in your vendetta.” Chu Yunsheng also stood up and said.
He hated this feeling of being manipulated. He himself was a victim, so he immediately said it without having thought about it properly.
“Doesn’t need to be involved? She is already involved! Otherwise, why do you think she is here? Why do you think they are here?” Mu Xijun glanced around and said.
“There are so many people, why do you need to choose her?” Chu Yunsheng said.
“Because of you. I have checked her background before. She is a good girl. If I save her, then she will owe me!” Mu Xijun didn’t plan to hide her intention at all.
“Because she has a good heart, so you are going to manipulate her! What a f.u.c.king good idea!” Chu Yunsheng said coldly.
“But don’t you forget that I can let both her and her sister live!” Mu Xijun stroked the head of the little plant girl and argued.
Chu Yunsheng glared into her eyes and said, “You are not trying to save her. You want her to live in your hatred. How can she fight the ruler of the eastern forest that has been expanding their forces for so many years? She will die!”
“How do you know that we can’t defeat them? Besides, do you have a better idea?” Mu Xijun didn’t back down.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t speak this time. He just stared at her.
“If I don’t save her, she will definitely die. If I save her, she will probably live!” Mu Xijun smiled.
“You have no right to make decisions for her.” Chu Yunsheng did not want to carry on.
“So you think you have right?” Mu Xijun pushed away Bao Zhenjiang who wanted to stop her from carrying on provoking this man.
“I admit that because of you, we were able to escape from the forest. You saved us. I am grateful to You, and they are also very grateful to you! Although I am only a woman, I still know that you can save them this time, but you can’t protect them forever!
However, all of us including her, don’t want this one-time protection. We want a way! A way to protect ourselves and our families, and what I am going to do to the mute girl, is to give her a way to save herself.” Mu Xijun continued.
Chu Yunsheng still didn’t say anything. What Mu Xijun said was correct. He also didn’t have the right to make a decision for the girl, and he would not be able to protect them forever. He himself also believed that the only way to save a person in the dark age was the person themselves.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t speak, nor did all the people in the factory. Instantly, the place fell into the awkward silence. Everyone was scared that once the most powerful man in the world would get angry, he would do something horrible.
“Uncle, sister, what are you arguing about? I don’t understand,” said the little plant girl who looked at Chu Yunsheng and then looked at Mu Xijun. She didn’t know why everyone suddenly stopped talking.
“You are still young, you don’t need to know.” Chu Yunsheng stroked her head and said.
But the eyes of Mu Xijun suddenly flashed with a strange l.u.s.ter. She crouched down and gently held the little girl’s leaves and said, “why don’t we ask the next of kin?”
Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to say what a child could possibly know. But when he was about to talk, he suddenly stopped. Maybe he shouldn’t care that much.
“Uncle?” The little plant girl seemed to trust Chu Yunsheng more. Her eyes were wide open with confusion. It seemed like she wanted to ask Chu Yunsheng what to do.
Mu Xijun lifted the chin of the little girl and smiled. “Xiao Cao, sister, I have a way to save your elder sister immediately. Do you want me to save her?”
“Really? Are you not lying to me?” the little plant girl hesitated.
“Look, what is this?” Mu Xijun gritted her teeth and took out a half mask from inside of her clothes.
“The ruler’s Tubi mask!”
