Mo Qian slowly opened his eyes, and his slightly cloudy gaze stayed on Qing Ling's face for a moment.

"Aaron?"

He whispered softly.

In Qing Ling's life, he had never seen his master look so old and weak, and he had already been in tears, and said with a crying voice: "It's me!" It's Qingling! ”

She walked closer to Mo Qian on her knees, "Master, who banned Chongwu?" Isn't it Mu Chen? You tell me! What did he do to you? ”

Qing Ling held Mo Qian's wrist and felt that his pulse was weak, obviously either suffering from extremely serious internal injuries or that his divine power was exhausted for some reason.

Mo Qian seemed to come back to his senses, slowly withdrew his hand, and gently stroked the top of Qing Ling's hair, "It's Qing Ling, you're back." ”

Qing Ling was stung even more painfully by Mo Qian's sentence "You are back", full of guilt beyond words, and explained incoherently with tears: "I wanted to come back for a long time......"

"But after the second senior brother passed away, I always felt very guilty in my heart...... I always feel like I don't have the face to come back......"

"You warned me not to get involved in those fights...... But I insisted on going my own way and killed the fourth senior brother! If Li Zhong hadn't been seriously injured at the Casting Tower, you wouldn't have had to expend your divine power to keep him alive...... The second senior brother will not be sad and will not leave so early......"

Qing Ling choked up and looked up at the master, "I've always wanted to tell you that I regret it, I regret it!" I just want to stay in Chongwu now, stay with you, and not go anywhere! Nothing! ”

Mo Qian quietly listened to Qing Ling's cry, caressing her hair as before, her expression cold and distant.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Your junior brother is ......."

Qing Ling heard Master mention Luo Yao, and there was a sharp pain in his chest.

After the incident of Zhangyao, Senior Brother Chenyue visited Qingling in Lingxiao City. At that time, because the senior brother and sister were worried about the master's physical condition, they all decided to hide the matter.

After so many years, Qing Ling is not sure if Mo Qian knows the truth, or how much he knows......

So she straightened up slightly, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and forced her emotions to squeeze out a smile, "Xiao Qi and I have a son...... The name is Yuxiu, and it is the name of our Chongwu mountain! I'll bring him to see you in a few days, he's very smart and he's very serious about learning kung fu, you'll love it......"

Mo Qian's thousand-year-old cold face was as cold as a glacier, revealing a gentle feeling of pity, and he raised his hand to wipe the corners of Qing Ling's eyes, "Since they are all mothers, don't cry like a child anymore." He put down her shoulder, "You sit up straight, Master has something to say to you." ”

Qing Ling heard the solemnity in his master's tone, and also tried to restrain his thoughts, as he had done when he had listened to his master's exercises, he moved a little distance, straightened his waist and sat in front of Mo Qian.

The moment Qing Ling moved away, Mo Qian noticed Yun Yan who had followed her in and had been leaning against the door.

He stared at him for a moment, his gaze becoming more complicated.

Qing Ling then remembered Yun Yan's existence, turned his head and glanced at him, and explained to Mo Qian: "He is the person I found to help, it doesn't matter......"

Saying this, the person still got up and walked over, pushed Yun Yan out, and whispered, "You twist another trick and hide outside, I have something to say to my master." ”

Yun Yan looked down at her and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "When you finish using it, you're in a hurry to drive people away?" ”

Qing Ling raised his head and glared, the strength of his hand was not reduced, and he suppressed his voice, "Less nonsense!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the man out.

She was a little worried that Mo Qian would ask Yun Yan's identity, and then learn about her deal with Lie Yang.

Like all children who have left home as adults, Qing Ling subconsciously wants to whitewash her situation outside the home, unwilling to let her master know that she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to, and she is so helpless that she has to ally with the enemy.

She walked back to Mo Qian and sat down, her mood calming down a lot.

Mo Qian retracted his thoughts, looked at the apprentice who still had tears on his face, and slowly spoke: "What the teacher says next, you have to listen attentively, and you are not allowed to interrupt or lose your temper." You are your mother's daughter, a child I brought up, and you must be calm and strong in case of trouble, so as to live up to her blood and my upbringing. ”

When he was teaching in the past, Mo Qian always taught his apprentices in such a serious tone, and Qing Linghe should have been familiar with it for a long time. However, at this moment, his face was old and haggard, his eyes showed a kind of relieved exhaustion, and the whole person looked familiar and unfamiliar, which made Qing Ling feel frightened for no reason.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists in her sleeves, and solemnly bowed her head, "Hmm." ”

Mo Qian looked at her and was silent for a moment before he said, "You must be surprised why Chaoyan's army banned Chongwu. In fact, even I myself was surprised...... "After a pause, his voice was as low as a sigh, "Chaoyan Muchen, he really cares about you. ”

When Qing Ling heard this, his clenched teeth ached.

No matter how much she doesn't want to believe it, she can't help it after all.

But why, why did Mu Chen hurt Chongwu and Mo Qian?

Is it for yourself?

But that's completely unreasonable!

Mo Qian looked at Qing Ling, and saw that she was trying her best to control her emotions without revealing any flaws, and complex emotions rippled in her heart, whether it was pity, pity, or worry, and sighing.

He sat cross-legged for a long time, and slowly continued: "Your mother, I have known each other since I was a child......

Mo Qian's voice was faint and quiet, slowly telling a piece of the past.

"She is the only daughter of the Zhangguo clan, the heir of the Zhangguo Holy Mountain, with a noble status, profound cultivation, and generous words and deeds......

Because of her special status and the strict discipline of your grandfather, she usually doesn't have many friends. Most of the people are also princely families, wealthy and noble, and they can only see the noble and proud side of your mother, but they don't know that she was also an innocent and romantic girl, and she had the simplest and most innocent wishes......"

Qing Ling listened intently, and suddenly remembered the words that Luo Heng had said to herself in the cold stars and warm moon, and the tip of her heart twitched slightly.

"In the year I inherited Chongwu from your ancestor, your mother sent a letter saying that she wanted to come to Chongwu to live for a while and use Gan Yuan's aura to improve her cultivation. At that time, of course, I was very happy......

But when I saw her in Huaqing Palace, she was not alone.

came with her, as well as Luo Heng of Jiuqiu Country.

At the beginning, I didn't know Luo Heng's identity, but I only saw that the two of them got along intimately, and I thought it was your mother's favorite...... Later, I fought with Luo Heng, and I saw the difference in his cultivation methods, so I guessed his origin.

I didn't think I valued the people of the family, but I was surprised that your mother could get together with someone like that.

At that time, although Luo Heng was not crazy and bloodthirsty, he was still arrogant, and his words and deeds were all flamboyant and disregarded the eyes of others...... But he is very gentle and considerate to your mother. ”

Qing Ling recalled the messy words he had said to himself before Luo Heng's death, and remembered that he ridiculed Mo Qian, "Although the cultivation is not bad, people are very stupid", it can be seen that these two people probably don't like each other because of their poor personalities.

Mo Qian continued: "But since even I find it hard to believe, others can't accept such a marriage.

Your grandfather valued the lintel of the Jangor clan very much, and was bent on finding a decent and powerful home for your mother. The Jiuqiu Luo Clan, who lives in a remote corner, has always been despised by the Eastern Continent God Clan, and it must not be in his consideration.

And your mother's teachings since she was a child also made her subconsciously feel that this relationship is not right. Or at least not what your grandfather tolerated and approved.

So her meeting with Luo Heng has always been hidden and cautious. The people in the know are none other than the most trusted relatives and friends on both sides.

According to Luo Heng's temperament, he should have been very disgusted with this kind of hidden and pinched relationship, but at that time, they loved each other very much, and they were unconsciously compromising and making concessions for each other, so that they ignored the contradictions in each other's personalities, which caused the tragedy in the future......

Before your grandfather died, he betrothed your mother to Emperor Chaoyan. Later, when the wedding date was approaching, your mother came to Chongwu and found me and told me that she wanted to repent of her marriage and leave the Eastern Continent with Luo Heng.

I dissuaded her, "You are a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor and the last master of the Qingyun Sword, so why don't you just leave and abandon the responsibility of protecting the people of the Eastern Continent?" You have been engaged to Emperor Hao for so many years, if you break the marriage and elope at this time, how can Emperor Hao save face? What is the reputation of your Zhanggu clan? ’

But her attitude is still resolute, it seems that she is ruthless, and she no longer has any scruples.

So I said, 'Emperor Chaoyan is also a young and famous man with a high heart, if you betray him because of a man of the demon clan, how can he easily give up?' You can fly away, but can the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiuqiu, his family and blood relatives, be safe and sound? ’

When your mother heard this, she was shaken.

A month later, according to the agreement, she married into Chaoyan Lingxiao City. ”

Mo Qian recalled the past, and suddenly fell silent, his eyes were quite dark.

Qing Ling was a little incomprehensible, and couldn't help but answer: "Could it be that she agreed to marry someone she didn't like because she was worried about implicating Jiuqiu?" So what happiness does she have in her life? Whether it's the reputation of the Zhanggu clan or the people of Jiuqiu, can't they be protected in another way? ”

"Your mother, like me, was raised as a person of great tradition. For the lintel and reputation, there is a sense of responsibility that is difficult for others to understand. That's why I was able to say something that hit her right and changed her decision......

To this day, I am still unsure whether I regret or not regret the exhortation of that day......"

Mo Qian raised his eyes and stared at Qing Ling, as if thoughtful, "In the end, you are still more like your father, acting only according to likes and dislikes, and you can't stand to be wronged. ”

Hearing this, Qing Ling curled the corners of his lower lip with a slight self-deprecation, "Am I like my father?" Maybe. I think I'm shrewd, but in the end it's not all the same person......"

Mo Qian was silent for a long time when he heard this.

At the end, he sighed quietly: "Your father is Jiuqiu Luoheng. ”
