Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Ling was staring at Chen Qingyan with mixed feelings in his heart. He did not look away even for a second. Currently, no one felt worse than Mu Ling himself.

“Your hands are quivering. I thought you want to offer up your life to clear your name? What are you doing now? You don’t want to die? Well, if you really want to die, I can give you a hand. Hold this sword properly and I will stab you. You don’t need to thank me for this.” Feng Ruqing glanced at Chen Qingyan’s trembling hands.

Feng Ruqing’s hand moved slightly.

Before the sword reached Chen Qingyan’s heart, a loud scream sounded. In a split second, Chen Qingyan loosened the sword in her grip and took a few steps backward.

No! Chen Qingyan did not want to die! If she died, she would lose everything she had.

The sword fell to the ground from Chen Qingyan’s hand. Beads of cold sweats could be seen covering her forehead. Her eyes were filled with panic, her face was drained of any color.

Seeing Chen Qingyan’s fl.u.s.tered appearance, Mu Ling was no longer worried. It turned out that Chen Qingyan was afraid of death.

Chen Qingyan had played the same trick twice—offering up her life to prove her innocence and Mu Ling had actually bought into it and forgiven all her wrongdoings.

Since Chen Qingyan was so afraid of death, she would never have taken her life to clear her name. Ridiculously, Mu Ling had always trusted her with all his heart.

“Brother Ling…” Chen Qingyan looked at Mu Ling anxiously.

Her eyes met Mu Ling’s eyes that were filled with despair. Twice, Chen Qingyan had nearly put the entire Mu family into huge troubles. However, Mu Ling had forgiven her over and over again. Apparently, Chen Qingyan had a special place in Mu Ling’s heart.

It was all because Mu Ling had a soft heart. He could not bear seeing Chen Qingyan dead. Hence, he had forgiven her.

“Brother Ling… listen to me. I…”

Whoos.h.!.+

Just as Chen Qingyan wanted to approach Mu Ling, the sword in Feng Ruqing’s hand dug into Chen Qingyan’s belly.

Before the wound on her belly was fully recovered, the sword stabbed her again. Quivering in pain, Chen Qingyan raised her head to stare at Feng Ruqing. A look of shock and disbelief crept into Chen Qingyan’s eyes.
