Chapter 730: Chapter 485 Master’s Letter (First Update)_2

Jing Chen remembered these words firmly.

Mu Lin shook his head, "I’m not entirely sure either. I seldom enter master’s room, and I never really searched carefully." The room where cherished belongings and books were kept was the one Mu Lin was most familiar with. After Mu Jue left, Mu Lin often went in there too, thoroughly familiarising every corner, so there was no need to search further. Even with eyes closed, she could tell what was placed in which direction.

Therefore, Mu Lin was certain that the item must be in Mu Jue’s room, especially if it was something personal.

Hearing what Mu Lin had to say, Jing Chen thoughtfully searched around, focusing on places that others usually overlooked. In the end, he knelt on one knee and peered under the bed, but he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Reaching his hand up, he paused slightly. When he pulled his hand back, he was holding a small box about a foot long.

"Is it this one?" Jing Chen stood up and put the small box on the table behind Mu Lin.

The box was unlocked, and Mu Lin easily opened it. It did not contain many items. After flipping through it, she indeed found her household booklet, a passbook, several cards, and an envelope that only had ’For Linlin’ written on it.

It was a letter from master!

Mu Lin had not expected that Mu Jue had left her a letter.

After exchanging a glance, Mu Lin opened the envelope; inside was the handwriting she was familiar with. The words reflected Mu Jue himself.

Elegant, clean, and beautiful.

Opening the letter, Mu Lin carefully read the words.

Linlin,

Actually, master does not know when you will be able to read this letter, but he could not resist pouring all his thoughts into it. Even if master can’t tell you in person, he hopes that someday, you will be able to read about it. He wishes that even after knowing the truth, you will still be able to forgive him.

Because master, he really loves you. These years, if you hadn’t been by my side, there’s no way master would have made it this far.

Do you know, watching you grow from a precious little baby who I was scared to hurt while carrying her in my arms, to an upright and outstanding young girl, your excellence brings me joy, but also pain.

Again and again, I pondered if I should let you return to your mother. But after consideration, all I felt was reluctance. I truly can’t bear to give you back to her, even though she’s the woman I love the most. Even now, she still is.

I think to myself, how nice it would be if you were my daughter. I really wish I could hear you call me father, or dad.

But master knows, all of this is just pure wishful thinking on my part. In this life, I don’t think I’ll be able to fulfill this wish.

Linlin, do you know? You and your mother, you look so much alike. It’s not about how much you resemble her in terms of appearance. In fact, you’re even more beautiful than your mother. It’s the aura you exude. Many times, that aura of yours would make me mistake you for her, the woman I love the most in this life but can never stay by her side, nor even qualify to silently protect her.

All of this, was my fault. I failed her.

I never thought that the relationship between your mother and me would end up like this. One wrong step led to another, and even though I regret it, there’s no way to turn back. Especially after your mother was carrying you.

But Linlin, master didn’t mean to take you away. I guess your mother must be heartbroken by your absence. I didn’t dare to go back to her. At that time, I really couldn’t return you to her, because going back to that place would be a dead end for you.

That’s why, for all these years, Master has been training you intensively, guiding you to protect yourself. Seeing you getting injured and falling down time after time, and then picking yourself up again, it really broke my heart.

Don’t blame master for being ruthless. Master just doesn’t want to see you persecuted again. If one day, master is no longer your side, what will you do?

If something happened to you, what would master do? Master is terrified to even think about it.

Teaching you all these skills to protect yourself is the only choice master has, because master knows that one day, you will have to return to that dangerous place.

If possible, master truly wishes that you could continue living a simple life as you are now. But over there are your true family members, who really love you. But now, they can’t find you.

Linlin, I suppose you really want to go back and see them, don’t you?

That’s what master thinks.

Upon reading this, Mu Lin subconsciously shook her head, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Murmuring to herself, "Actually, master, I never thought that I would leave the Black Forest one day or leave you." And I never thought that master would leave Linlin so soon.

Actually, her dream all along was to stay with the master like before, occasionally leaving the mountain to save people, and see the real world. But most of the time, they would stay in the Black Forest.

Because this was their home.

Even if the outside world was bustling with excitement, to Mu Lin, it could not compare to the flora and fauna of the mountain.

No matter how glorious the outside world, to her, the home she shared with her master always seemed warmer.

Jing Chen embraced Mu Lin in his arms, gave her head a tender kiss, but did not say a word to interrupt.

At this point, he shouldn’t disturb her.

Perhaps, if Mu Jue were still alive, Mu Lin would not mind calling him father.

Just as long as he were still alive.
