“She is your sister? Then, her surname must also be ‘Chen’. Back then, she had told me that she would visit me when she is free. She did visit me for the first few years, but she has stopped doing that. She did not even come when you sent Huan’er to me. As I don’t like leaving the mountain, I haven’t met her for years.” Hai Rong smiled.

Suyi had never told Hai Rong her name. When she had visited Hai Rong back then, Hai Rong had always been discussing something about medical and spirit herbs with her. Hence, he had forgotten to ask her for her name.

It was such a pity…

“Previously, she has helped me out when I was in trouble. Hence, I owe her a favor. Technically, I have repaid her kindness for accepting Huan’er as a disciple. However, since that lady is your sister-in-law, I will try my best to cure the old master.”

Since when had Suyi become Mu Ling’s sister-in-law? Mu Ling’s face darkened a few shades as he did not know why Qingyan would say that. However, since Hai Rong was still there, he did not ask Chen Qingyan.

“I’m exhausted. You don’t have to take care of me. I just need to get some rest.” Hai Rong got up with a smile on his face. After a while, he paused and he said, “Oh yeah, let me know if that lady is back. I have a lot to discuss with her.”

As soon as Hai Rong finished his words, he walked out of the main hall.

Only when Hai Rong had disappeared in the distance, Mu Ling regained his focus and asked, “Qingyan, why did you tell Grandmaster Hai Rong that Suyi was your sister?”

Chen Qingyan pursed her lips as her eyes reddened.

“Brother Ling, you know Grandmaster Hai Rong very well. Who is capable of handling him if he loses his mind? What if he sides Suyi and refuses to treat the old master? I am worried about the old master. It is fine if he misunderstands Huan’er and me.”

Hearing this, Mu Ling did not say anything.

“Moreover, Grandmaster Hai Rong had vowed to stop treating anyone in this realm. He has agreed to treat the old master for Sister Suyi’s sake. I did this because of the old master. Since the old master had treated Sister Suyi so well and had hurt me because of her, I am sure Sister Suyi will not be mad at me if she finds out about this. I believe that she is not an ingrate.” Chen Qingyan innocently raised her tearful eyes.

In other words, Qingyan was telling Mu Ling that since the old master had treated Suyi so well, no matter what Qingyan did in Suyi’s name, she must not hold grudges against Qingyan. Otherwise, Suyi was nothing but an ungrateful wretch.

Hearing this, Mu Ling felt a little relieved and finally relented.

“We truly have no choice in saving the old master. However, as Grandmaster Hai Rong lived high up in the mountain previously, he knows nothing about Suyi. Now that he is here, he might be able to hear something about Suyi.”

“That would be something we need to consider in the future. Currently, the old master’s health is the top priority.” Chen Qingyan smiled softly as she leaned against Mu Ling’s chest.

Hai Rong has always treated Mu Huan so well. Moreover, Mu Huan had stayed with Hai Rong for more than ten years, the relationship between a master and disciple would naturally be stronger than the friendship between Hai Rong and Suyi.

Currently, Qingyan could only keep Hai Rong in the dark and if she could no longer hide it from Hai Rong, she would get Mu Huan to calm Hai Rong down. She believed that Hai Rong would never expel Mu Huan from the sect.

“However…” Mu Ling sighed softly.

“I feel sorry for Suyi. Hai Rong owes Suyi a favor, but I have asked him to take Huan’er as a disciple to repay her kindness. Qingyan, Suyi will be back for the old master’s birthday. Get Huan’er to treat Suyi better. After all, Huan’er would not have been able to make it this far without Suyi.”
