ingmo also got out of the car.Mu Xing thanked him and then turned, walking in an orderly manner toward the man, "Little uncle, I'm back."The man, whose face was gloomy because he felt ignored, feared...Mù Xīng simply replied, "Back then, my house caught fire. My master happened to pass by and saved me. Afterward, I was brought to Qīng Yún Mountain. These years, I've been living on the mountain until a few days ago when I came down."

He Chao nodded and asked again, "Since you're fine, why haven't you contacted me for so many years"

The tone became a bit heavy, not accusing, but sad.

Their relationship, between him and Mu Xing, was truly profound. Though this affection originated from their ancestors' legacy.

Mu Xing's father and his father met in the army. The two had a deep friendship.

After returning from military service, Mu Xing's father went into business. His father continued to practice medicine, taking completely different paths in life, but this did not estrange the two, instead bringing them closer.

And this deep affection from the parents naturally continued in him and Mu Xing. He was five years older than Mu Xing, and from the moment she was born, he treated her like a younger sister, protecting her everywhere and cherishing her dearly.

Later, the Mu family suffered a fire. Every midnight dream, he deeply fell into self-blame for failing to protect Mu Xing.

But his sister, having narrowly escaped death, remained estranged from him for twelve whole years. This left him utterly heartbroken.

Mu Xing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to be honest with He Chao: "I'm sorry, Brother He Chao, the fire at my house wasn't an accident. My master was afraid that the culprit would know I was still alive and would harm me, so he told me not to contact anyone."

She looked at him apologetically, "Actually, I think about you every day and have wanted to contact you. But Master is right, if the killer knows I'm still alive, they might just want to get rid of me completely."

I'm not afraid of death, but I want to live to find the truth for my parents and the thirteen members of the Mu family. To avenge them. And I'm also afraid that I will drag you down.

He was stunned.

He remembered very clearly that after the fire, the police came to investigate the scene and concluded that the fire was caused by a gas explosion.

For twelve years, he never doubted that the fire at the Mu family mansion wasn't an accident.

Not only him, but everyone else had never doubted it.

If Mu Xing hadn't been lucky enough to survive the fire, the truth behind it would have likely been buried with the remains of her family, lost forever in the darkness.

He Chao let out a long sigh, raising his hand to gently stroke Mu Xing's head. "These years on the mountain, you must have had it hard."

The living environment on the mountain is imaginable, but more difficult is the heart.

A six-year-old child, losing all his family overnight and arriving in a strange environment, carries a growing hatred.

He couldn't imagine how she had endured twelve years, over four thousand three hundred days and nights.

Mu Xing smiled, "It wasn't too hard."

Although it was indeed hard at first when I arrived in the mountains, eating half-cooked wild vegetables and game, living in leaky thatched huts.

The master, a tough and weathered man, had no problem with it. But she was just a child, used to a life of luxury and comfort; she couldn't stand this hardship. She fell ill after not long.

The master sent her to live with a kind aunt at the foot of the mountain for three months, and when she returned to the mountain, the thatched hut had become a stone house, and all the living facilities were complete.

When her living environment improved, she no longer fell ill. As she grew older, her master began teaching her various knowledge and skills. She gradually adapted to the mountain life and never found it difficult.

And let me tell you, my master is especially kind to me.

When it comes to Master, Mu Xing becomes a chatterbox. "From childhood to adulthood, whatever delicious food there was in the house, Master would always save some for me. Even though we were so poor that our pockets were empty, during the New Year, Master would still buy me new clothes. But his own clothes were always patched and mended, and his canvas shoes were almost worn through. He wouldn't even buy new ones."

Later I learned that medicinal herbs could be sold for money, so I would collect them every day and ask Fatty Aunty to take them to sell. The money I made was used to buy my master a new pair of shoes. He complained that the shoes were ugly, but I knew he was actually just worried about me.

He Chao listened patiently to Mu Xing finish speaking, and smiled faintly: "It can be seen that the master is a very good person."

To be able to educate a person who has gone through life and death, carrying hatred, into someone so lively, adorable, with a sunny disposition inside, besides the hard work he put in, he himself is a very gentle and strong person.

Mu Xing was not being polite as she countered, "My master wasn't all good either. He had his flaws, like being very lazy. The reason we were so poor was because he was too lazy. After I grew up, he became even lazier. He just sat by the door every day looking at the mountains below. He clearly spent the whole day doing nothing.

He's still pretty unreliable. To test my abilities, he hid his socks in Uncle's liquor and made me find them. As a result, he ran off, leaving me to work to pay back the debt. But Uncle is really nice to me, and I'm happy working for him, so I forgive my master.

Ge Chao twitched his lips into a light smile. So that's why Mu Xing was at Mr. Fu's house.

Their relationship wasn't as the rumors spread, but from his observation, Mr. Fu treated Mu Xing differently, yet it wasn't like romantic love. That was quite perplexing.

Fortunately, Mr. Fu's character is something he believes in, and with him taking care of Mu Xing, it's a good thing for Mu Xing, and he can rest assured about it.

Putting his thoughts aside, he asked Mu Xing, “You said just now that your master ran away, is he not at Qingyun Mountain anymore”

"Yeah, I don't know where they went either."

Mu Xing sighed. She really wanted to contact her master, but he didn't have a phone, so she couldn't reach him. She could only wait for him to come back himself.

"He nodded, "When I have the chance, I'll visit him in person."

Master saved Mu Xing and still tirelessly raised her. As Mu Xing's brother, he must solemnly thank him.

"By the way, A-Chao gege," Mu Xing suddenly thought of something and reminded, "Little uncle still doesn't know my identity, nor does he know our relationship. You must not tell him, okay"

"Don't worry."

Having understood everything that needed to be known, He Chao feared that staying too long would arouse suspicion. He got up and said, "I'll leave now."

Mu Xing immediately took out her phone and gave him a sly smile: "Let's add each other on WeChat first, for convenience."

After adding WeChat, He Chao took the medicine box and left.

Mu Xing carefully wrote "Brother Achao" in He Chao's WeChat note, then held her phone and smiled with crescent eyes. It was great to reunite with Brother Achao.

- Fu's Group.

After receiving a call from Principal Sun of Beihua Academy, Zhao Jin immediately went to the CEO's office to report to Fu Lingxiao.

"Mr. Fu, Principal Sun just called me. He said that the day after tomorrow is the registration day for new students. He sent me a form with personal information about each new student. He asked us to fill out the forms and send them back in advance so he can make arrangements ahead of time.

"

I have sent the table to your mailbox. Also, he asked if you need a school car to pick you up.

The day after tomorrow

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows were slightly furrowed, the little girl was all bruised and injured, obviously she couldn't report on time.

"I'll fill it out and send it to you later. When you give it to Principal Sun, please tell him that Muxing will arrive a few days late for registration. I will have someone send her then."

"Okay, Mr. Fu, I'm going to get busy."

Zhao Jin respectfully exited the office.

Fu Lingxiao opened his email and downloaded the information sheet. He picked up his phone on his desk, opened WeChat, and at a glance saw the pinned message from the top. It was the avatar of a white rabbit riding a turtle with a unique style.

These days, his eyes were assaulted by this avatar day after day. He somehow managed to get used to it.

He shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his expression. He clicked on the chat box, and the only message was still the verification message Mu Xing had sent him last time.

It seems that the little girl is not yet used to using WeChat.

He edited the information and sent it.enly opened his eyes.The moment he stepped into the palace, he sensed something was amiss with the incense. He wanted to know what Mu Xing's master had lured him here for, so he decided to play along....
