Chapter 728: Chapter 484 - Their Relationship (Part 2)_1

The light of the fire flickered in front of the two of them.

Mu Lin had heard that more money would be spent after a person dies; yet, Mu Lin didn’t believe Mu Jue was below the ground.

However, maybe you needed to spend money to help the deceased’s path to heaven? Ah, it was just another one of Mu Lin’s absent-minded musings.

Jing Chen pulled Mu Lin into his arms, looking at Mu Jue’s tombstone before him, and made a pledge deep within his heart.

Master, no matter what, I will protect Linlin, even if it costs my life; and your vengeance, I will avenge.

Up until now, perhaps Jing Chen finally understood why Mu Jue had been so mysterious; the Tang Family from that place was truly enigmatic; no one, other than the clan people from that place, had the right to step in, or was allowed to enter.

Even if you knew how to get in, you wouldn’t be able to pass the hypnotic maze on the mountain and all the other obstacles; that place is a dead end for ordinary people, they enter but never return.

However, he was now determined to venture into that legendary dangerous place, just like Linlin suggested, to vindicate his Master.

Leaning gently against Jing Chen, for the first time, Mu Lin understood what it felt like to rely on someone.

It was simple, but it gave him peace.

Master, it turns out, I can live this happily.

To Mu Lin, his present self and his past self seemed to be living in two completely different worlds.

It seemed, it was indeed like that.

Mu Lin and Jing Chen placed their marriage certificate above the tombstone, wanting Mu Jue to see it clearly, it was as if he was also serving as a witness to their marriage.

"Linlin." At that moment, Jing Chen’s raspy low voice resounded in Mu Lin’s ears. Mu Lin responded softly, only to hear Jing Chen continue, "When I was little, I met you once." If he had known what he knows today, he would not have limited himself to just one meeting, he would have taken the opportunity to meet more often.

Originally, he had the opportunity to protect her all the way to adulthood; originally, he had the opportunity to prevent her from encountering all the things she has gone through now, originally, perhaps the master might still be alive now. It is just a pity that thinking about the what-ifs now is too late.

Nothing has what-ifs.

"When we were little?" Mu Lin involuntarily pushed Jing Chen away, turned her head to look at him, with a bit of confusion in her eyes; there was no memory of this event at all.

"Yes." Jing Chen nodded, "When you were still being held in someone’s arms, during the time when you loved to cry." Jing Chen thought, he could tell her about his past now; since everything was clear, he didn’t want to hide anything from her anymore.

"How could that be!" Mu Lin found it hard to believe. After all, "I should look different now from how I looked back then, right?" How did he recognize her, especially from the time when she was still being held in someone’s arms?

Listening to this, it sounded a lot like nonsense.

"Indeed, you look different." Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen chuckled, "But, you are still as delicate as ever. I remember you back then, like a porcelain doll, so adorable that it was hard to put you down." Including him, if he could, he would have wanted to take her straight home at that time.

Jing Chen believed that his entire family would certainly love her.

After all, there was not a single girl in Jing’s family. Therefore, when the time came, Mu Lin would definitely be everyone’s favorite, the apple of their eye.

"In fact, I only remembered this when I saw Master." Jing Chen paused, then continued, "Linlin, I don’t know if Master ever mentioned to you that you have a senior fellow apprentice brother."

Jing Chen wondered whether Mu Jue had mentioned him to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin’s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if she was recalling something, "I don’t think so, but maybe yes." Yes... maybe.

"Indeed, one time when I went to B City, Master asked me whether I wanted to meet his apprentice brother in the mortal world, but I decided not to." And after that, she completely forgot about it.

The term ’senior fellow apprentice brother’, to Mu Lin, was a strange concept; whether or not it existed didn’t matter to her, so when Mu Jue spoke about it, Mu Lin didn’t listen very carefully.

But now that she heard Jing Chen say that, it seemed as if Mu Lin had figured something out, "Could it be that you are the apprentice brother that my master mentioned before!" It would be quite a coincidence.

Jing Chen nodded, "All this time, I had never doubted about the existence of this bond between us until."

"Until I saw Master’s name." There was a trace of sigh in Jing Chen’s eyes, "Linlin, I believe that Master would be very happy to see us together."

He believed it.

Mu Lin nodded, looking at Jing Chen, "Senior brother, you should take good care of me from now on." Senior brother, quite an interesting title, their relationship had so many layers.

"Rest assured, my wife, I will definitely take good care of you." He then looked towards Mu Jue, "Master, I promise you, I absolutely won’t let anyone hurt Linlin or cause any harm to the child in her belly ever again."

Whoever dares to hurt them, he, Jing Chen, would make them regret ever being born into this world.

Her lips curved slightly, the sadness that pervaded the space between them gradually fades, replaced by the halo of happiness and gentleness emanating from their bodies.

Maybe for Mu Jue, seeing his two apprentices blissful was the most comforting feeling.

What’s more, inside Mu Lin’s belly, was his little disciple-grandson.
