Chapter 766: Chapter 510: I’m Coming In To Find You (Second Update)_1

Without waiting for the old master of the Gong Family to agree, Mu Lin had already walked over to Tang Qian again, his eyes icy,"You, lead the way."

"Is this how you ask for help?" Gong Ning looked coldly at Mu Lin; Before Tang Qian could react, Gong Ning already couldn’t hold back.

"Asking for help?" Mu Lin scoffed, meeting her murderous gaze, "Which one of your eyes saw me... asking him for help?"

His eyes swept across Tang Qian’s face, and the mocking curve of his mouth grew colder, "As the husband of Miss Gong, shouldn’t he lead the way for me? After all, the person I’m going to rescue... is his wife."

"Or is he unwilling to save her?" Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "If that’s really the case, then perhaps I can’t do anything." It wasn’t her fault, was it?

As for this matter of asking for help... Mu Lin felt this was a question not worth considering.

Does this problem truly exist?

Mu Lin’s words were sharp and direct. If Gong Ning dared to continue speaking about asking for help, or if Tang Qian sided with Gong Ning, it would seem that these two no longer had any say in the Gong Family.

Tang Qian looked at Mu Lin and sneered, "Since you’re keen on seeking death, how could I possibly stop you?" His voice was not loud, as if he was only talking to Mu Lin; and he didn’t believe that Tang Qichuan could make it out safely, or that Mu Lin could make it out either.

This was his ultimate goal.

Two birds, one stone.

Luck won’t strike the same person twice, and for Mu Lin, it was already the second time.

As long as these bothersome people were eliminated, no one could stop them from taking over the Tang Family.

Since Mu Lin offered herself up on a platter, how could Tang Qian not cooperate?

After all, it costs nothing to take what’s been given freely, right?

"Follow me."

He led the way, everyone followed suit.

"It’s here." Tang Qian turned towards Mu Lin, "This is where Tang Qichuan had entered before; Xuexue suddenly asked me about this, so I brought her here to see, never expecting..." He looked apologetically at the old master of the Gong Family, "Father, it’s all my fault." His voice was sincere, his head bowed.

As for his gaze, well, to each their own interpretation.

It wasn’t really his fault, was it? Gong Muxue, not caring about her own life for some old flame, if word got out, it would be Gong Muxue who wronged him, Tang Qian.

The old master of the Gong Family paid him no attention, this was not the time to worry about that. He was only concerned about Mu Lin.

Mu Lin exchanged a look with Jing Chen.

It really was here.

For Mu Lin and Jing Chen, the traces within this jungle were something they couldn’t possibly miss.

Mu Lin turned to the old master of the Gong Family, "Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll be back before your birthday banquet tomorrow night." That was her promise.

"I trust you." He thought about a lot of things to say, but in the end, those were the only words that came out of his mouth.

"Mu Lin, you must come back." Little Yuyu’s round eyes looked at Mu Lin, "If you still haven’t returned by the time grandpa’s birthday celebration ends tomorrow, I’ll come in to find you."

"So, for my sake, you must come back; promise."

"Alright." Mu Lin’s smile was resigned, "I promise."

After speaking, they turned around and stepped in without hesitation.

Looking at the backs of Mu Lin and Jing Chen, the look in the old master of the Gong Family’s eyes was complex.

Actually, he was being selfish, wasn’t he?

He sighed, his gaze never leaving the entrance, unwilling to look away even for a moment.

Everything will be okay.

Subsequently, time slowly came to the next day. The twenty-plus hours in the eyes of the Gong Family members were the longest they had ever experienced. Finally, in the evening, around five o’clock, the banquet went on as scheduled.

Yet at that moment, aside from worry, the old master had no mood to celebrate his birthday; his expression was heavy. If he could cancel it, he wouldn’t even want to show up at all.

His favourite daughter and granddaughter were in unknown circumstances between life and death, how could he be happy?

In the heart of the old master, Mu Lin was certainly more dear to him than his own granddaughter.

Not far away, Gong Minglei and his companions were there with straight faces, greeting the guests; perhaps it was due to the oppressive air around the old master, guests who originally wanted to express their well-wishes didn’t dare to approach him.

Indeed.

This place is just this big. Such a big incident took place in the Gong Family last night. How could the people nearby not have heard about it? It’s been a whole day; the news must have already spread and become common knowledge.

"Old Master Gong, how are you?" At that moment, a voice echoed by the ears of the Old Master Gong. Old Master Gong looked up to the speaker, the corners of his mouth turned up in a forced smile, "Old Quan, you’ve arrived."

"Indeed. How could I not attend your birthday banquet? It would be terribly disrespectful." There were very few people who dared to talk to Old Master Gong like this at a time like this, probably only these few old patriarchs.

Hearing what the patriarch of Quan Family said, the Old Master Gong gave a hollow laugh, "If I didn’t want to waste the intentions of the younger generation, the notice would have already been sent out. I really didn’t want to celebrate this birthday banquet."

Actually, Old Master Gong didn’t mention that there was another reason: Mu Lin had told him that everyone would return safely to congratulate him on his birthday.

He believed that Mu Lin would make good on her promise.

With a sigh, the patriarch of Quan Family lightly patted Old Master Gong on the shoulder, "Rest assured, it will be alright."

His comforting words... lacked any sense of confidence.

Everyone knew what kind of place the Jungle was. Were the people who grew up here unaware of its dangers?

Truth be told, the patriarch of the Quan Family admired the Poison Doctor, who I think goes by the name Mu Lin. Knowing full well that the Jungle was a one-way trip, she didn’t hesitate to set foot in there.

The patriarch of the Quan Family genuinely admired that kind of person.

Especially since his granddaughter had mentioned the young girl who had become a legend at such a young age several times. He was extremely curious about her; he initially thought he would get to meet her at this banquet, but then... all this happened the day before.

What a disaster.

He had heard that Xiaoxue... had only just gotten back to normal.

Ah...

On the other hand, in the courtyard where Gong Yu was staying, despite having changed her clothes, she couldn’t bring herself to leave her room. She sat on her bed, hugging her knees and staring blankly into space.

"Little Yuyu." Quan Luo looked at her worriedly, "Don’t be like this." Quan Luo had never seen such an enervated Yuyu. Despite all the attempts at providing comfort and persuasion, Gong Yu didn’t budge and wasn’t ready to get up.

Sitting by Gong Yu’s bed, Quan Luo sighed lightly, "Little Yuyu, are you planning to just sit here all the time? Don’t forget, today is your Grandfather’s birthday banquet."

Gong Yu said nothing.

"Aren’t you afraid that your Grandfather will be angry?"

Gong Yu still remained silent.

Just like her, her Grandfather had no mood to celebrate the birthday banquet.

"Let’s go to the front hall."

Gong Yu still did not respond.

Quan Luo was about to lose patience, "Little Yuyu, if you stay here, you won’t be able to see Mu Lin when she returns. Didn’t you say she would be at the...birthday banquet."

As expected, the word ’birthday banquet’ wasn’t completely out and Gong Yu finally reacted.

"I’m going to the front." She climbed down from the bed without hesitation as if she was rushing off to get married.

Quan Luo suddenly felt heavily hit.

She had talked for so long, tried for so long, her throat was dry but little Yuyu didn’t move. With just mention of Mu Lin’s name... this little Yuyu... Almost made her mad!

Quan Luo took a deep breath.

Never mind, for the sake of her pitiful sorrow, she would let it slide for now.

Truth be told, even though she’d only met Mu Lin three times (she had met once when she came to play with Gong Yu a few days ago.), Gong Yu didn’t pamper her as much anymore, but she still liked Mu Lin.

She was truly incredible.

Moreover, she not only healed Aunt Muxue’s illness but now, for Aunt Muxue’s sake, she seemed ready to risk her life. How could a friend like that be missed? She wouldn’t hold it against her for stealing her exclusive affection.

Compared to Mu Lin, she felt, the so-called daughter Gong Ning, was truly ironic. Of course, also her lousy dad, she equally looked down on him.

What kind of people were they!

What kind of taste Aunt Muxue had in men before, to choose such a husband.

It’s simply...so tragic.

Of course, she wouldn’t say these things in front of Gong Yu.

All she hoped for right now, was for both Aunt Muxue and Mu Lin to return safely.
