C197 Mujin's family matters (1)
Shangguan Moru had been staring at Lei Yang's face the entire time, and only after a while did her mind completely overlap the figure of the person in front of her and the incomparably tall Master Mo in her mind.
Two different faces, the same person, yet he saved her twice in different places. This shocking coincidence caused her to find it hard to believe.
At this moment, whether it was a coincidence or the fact that this man had appeared twice in a row at a crucial moment in his life and helped her resolve the crisis, any one of them had caused a huge change in her heart.
After the overlap between Mo Yang and, Lei Yang's image in Shangguan Moru's heart could no longer only be described as lofty. It was a kind of palpitating feeling, a kind of feeling like a little deer running around, a kind of wondrous feeling that even she could not clearly describe.
Before Lei Yang could say anything, he felt a fragrant wind blowing towards him, followed by a soft feeling in his chest.
Two intertwined arms hung around his neck, and a tall and soft body was pressed tightly against his.
This sudden change made Lei Yang's face flush red once again. He was experienced in dealing with awkward situations, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Therefore, he could only stay there like a log. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, causing his entire body to uncontrollably tremble slightly.
"Why did you abandon me?" Shangguan Moru was choked with sobs as she crawled on Lei Yang's shoulder. Her tears had long started flowing like a river and blurred her vision.
"I don't even know your name. I was looking for you everywhere in that small county. I'm like a headless fly, but I can't find any trace of you!"
"I've lost my parents, lost my chance. In the end, even you, who saved me before, left me behind!"
Shangguan Moru's incoherent reminiscence completely confirmed the fact that she was Mujin, but at this moment, she was crying like a child. From her narration, Lei Yang could understand the despair and misery in her heart back then. It was a type of catharsis, a type of worry that she couldn't express to anyone. It had accumulated in her heart for so long, until the moment she saw Lei Yang.
Lei Yang understood that she needed to vent, and he needed comfort more so. Thus, he did not interrupt her complaints and narration, but slowly reached out his hands, and held her tightly in his embrace.
Only after a long time had passed did Lei Yang finally calm down and slowly say: "Mujin, let everything pass, okay?"
Perhaps it was only at this moment, when Shangguan Mujin, who had regained a bit of consciousness, discovered that she had lost control of herself, and immediately let go of her arm to retreat.
The two of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward once again.
Fortunately, Lei Yang had experience in such matters, so he coughed dryly and pretended to be calm. "Miss Shangguan Moru, do you still feel comfortable lending me your shoulder so that I can use it when I'm crying?"
"You, you're really bad!" With that said, Shangguan Mujin looked at Lei Yang's serious expression and was stunned, then she realised that the other party was teasing him intentionally, and with a raise of her hand, she smacked Lei Yang on the arm coquettishly, causing her to appear extremely enchanting.
In the hall, the two couldn't help but burst out laughing. Gradually, the two of them started to chat again. Unknowingly, the sky had already turned dark.
Elder Blue, who was standing outside the door, had been waiting the entire time. In her eyes, the usually cold and arrogant second young miss seemed to be laughing happily all the time from the depths of the manor for some reason today. Even she was confused by the laughter, but she didn't dare to risk her divine sense to check what was going on. She could only restrain her curiosity and mutter, "What's wrong with second miss today? It's as if she's a completely different person!"
Inside the hall, Lei Yang and Shangguan Mujin sat facing each other. The atmosphere between the two was extremely joyous;
While the two of them were chatting, Shangguan Mujin suddenly asked coquettishly: "Speak, why did you throw me in that small city? Honestly speaking, do you think you're bringing me along as a burden?"
"Un, about this, it is indeed a bit burdensome," Lei Yang said deliberately.
However, before Lei Yang could finish speaking, Shangguan Mujin stared at him with her beautiful eyes that could kill: "What, you actually think I'm a burden!"
"No, no. Just listen to me. Back then, someone wanted to kill me, so I couldn't bring you along. Otherwise, that would be harming you. Do you know!?" Lei Yang said in a serious tone.
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before casually asking, "Oh right, you were originally a mortal, how could you have come to this place so far from the Imperial City, and even become the second young miss of the Shangguan Family?"
At the mention of this matter, Shangguan Mujin's expression became serious as well. After calming herself down for a bit, she said: "I still have to start from the jade pendant that my parents left for me!"
"After you left me behind, I felt like the sky had fallen on me. There weren't any relatives left around me anymore. At that time, I really lost the motivation to live."
After that day, I was completely muddle-headed for a few days. I didn't know how the days went by, so I followed that direction and headed towards the east. I wandered aimlessly like a zombie without a soul.
Until one day, I fell down violently, my entire body was covered in blood. At that moment, I was really helpless, so I could only hold the jade pendant my parents had left me, reminiscing about the blissful days of our family.
However, when my blood dripped into the jade pendant, it unexpectedly emitted an intense light. The light didn't last long before the entire jade pendant returned to its previous tranquility. However, I didn't understand what it was.
But I don't know why, but after that fall, I felt as if I had become strong, as if I had found the power to survive once again. I felt that there was a force pulling me towards that direction. A few days later, a handsome and mighty middle-aged man silently appeared before me ?
That middle-aged man is extraordinary, his cultivation is many times higher than my father's, but I don't know why, but the moment I saw him, an indescribable feeling of familiarity rose in my heart.
He was kind, and when he saw that I was, there was a certain amount of surprise in his eyes. I could feel my father's shadow on his body, but it was also an aura that was completely different from my father's.
"In the end, when he took out a jade pendant that was exactly the same as my chest, it seemed like we understood everything in an instant ?"
