Chapter 114: Chu Yang's Impulse
“Ha ha ha...” Mo Chengyu laughed, “With you, this little girl, aware of the defense between men and women... Alright, I’ll talk with your Uncle Chu Yang. Little lady, if you feel anything uncomfortable, remember to call for me.”
He turned to look at Chu Yang and said, “Chu brother, how should we go out to talk?” Suddenly shocked, as if discovering a new continent, he exclaimed, “Chu brother, why does your face look so terrible?”
Chu Yang weakly rolled his eyes, thinking, why does my face look so terrible? You’re the one who said my face looks bad! I had a perfectly fine wife, and now you turned her into a niece... The fact that I haven’t collapsed and committed suicide right here shows my high self-control...
“Is the young lady's injury treated by Du Shiqing? What did Du Shiqing say?” Mo Chengyu frowned, sitting on the steps in front of the door with Chu Yang. His heart was heavy.
Ever since discovering that Mo Qingwu’s three yin meridians were severely damaged, he felt as if he was carrying a heavy mountain on his back, weighed down by a deep sense of oppression. The whole person seemed like a volcano on the verge of eruption, filled with a gloomy atmosphere as if a storm was approaching.
“Mr. Du said that even if all nine great elixirs gathered together, they would not be able to…” Chu Yang had a good impression of this loyal King Level expert, so he did not hide anything and spoke frankly, looking into Mo Chengyu’s eyes, “Senior Mo, there’s currently no way to heal Qingwu's injuries... If she goes back to the family, I fear she won’t be able to bear it... How about she stays here with me?”
Mo Chengyu's dark eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he sighed deeply, saying, “That’s not possible!”
“Why?” Chu Yang’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly became angry, “Do you have to take her back and let her endure that endless pain? You should know that her three yin meridians are ruined, and the family's attitude will change immediately! We both know what kind of treatment those without cultivation value will receive!”
“Pain is also something a member of the Mo family must endure!” Mo Chengyu sighed heavily, “In a noble family, family interests outweigh everything; you can’t be unaware of that. Furthermore, although you have saved her life, to us of the Mo family, you are still a stranger.”
Mo Chengyu snorted, “Even if she is subjected to lesser treatment upon returning, that’s still better than staying in the hands of a stranger; even if you are her savior, it doesn’t change that!”
“Moreover, with your current strength, you don’t have the power to protect her! If the Dark Demon comes knocking, do you think you can safeguard the young lady just with your strength?” Mo Chengyu's cold final words left Chu Yang feeling powerless.
This was the truth!
No matter what, the harsh reality was that his current strength was low! Even if Chu Yang had the power of the martial sect and believed he could contend with the Dark Demon using the Nine Calamity Sword, he was still only at the ninth rank of martial artist; he wasn’t even a martial master!
Once the Dark Demon arrived, Mo Qingwu would undoubtedly die. That wouldn’t be protecting her; it would truly harm her.
But if he let Mo Qingwu return, she would have to face the cold and heartless Mo family, how could Chu Yang bear that?
“The young lady is, after all, the direct kin of the patriarch,” Mo Chengyu said淡淡地道：“就算是没有了三阴脉，在家族也会过得很好。”
“Do you believe what you just said?” Chu Yang looked at him coldly, “As a King Level expert, if suddenly your cultivation was wasted, and you had to become an ordinary person; even if no one bullied you, could you endure it yourself?”
“But one must face reality!” Mo Chengyu roared in a low voice, “Do you think I don’t hurt for her? From the moment she was born, her three yin meridians were determined, and I was designated to be her guide and protector! From her first words until now, I have watched her grow up, just like my own daughter! She’s injured, and I wish I could bear her pain myself! Do you understand this feeling?”
