The Way of The Dao

Chapter 15 Sincerity From The Heart



Mu Shen had knelt before Ling Tian suddenly.

He was surprised by such a move from Mu Shen and just as he was about to ask him what he was doing, he heard Mu Shen speak:

"THANK YOU! ... Thank you for saving my sister!" Mu Shen spoke in a trembling voice as tears streamed down his face.

Ling Tian was perplexed to see this kind of situation. Wasn't this a bit much? Yes, he had saved Mu Shuiruo, but it was because they had helped him before and he did not want anything to happen to her, so the debt was practically paid and there was no need for him to do this. It would be enough to thank him normally and be done with it.

Ling Tian just kept looking at him. He didn't even try to help him up.

"I only saved your sister because I didn't want anything to happen to her. But why are you thanking me like this...?" Ling Tian wanted to know what made him go to these lengths.

Mu Shen kept kneeling before Ling Tian and said, "You may only think I'm exaggerating, but what you did was very important to me."

Ling Tian frowned slightly, hoping that Mu Shen would continue.

Mu Shen did not take long to continue speaking: "My younger sister is the only family I have left. When our parents died, they made me promise to take care of Shuiruo. Since our parents died when we were just over 10, I promised myself that I would do everything for her. I would try to make up for the family love she lacked. Now it's just the two of us and I'd do whatever it takes to make sure nothing happens to her and she's happy."

Ling Tian nodded softly as he thought inwardly, 'It's really just the two of them. What a pity. However, they still managed to get through. It takes determination to get this far'. He sighed on the inside.

"Brother Shen, get up, you don't have to do this. Besides, you helped me by taking care of me and letting me stay here in your home, so it was only natural that I saved your sister." Ling Tian made Mu Shen get up.

"I thought you were going to ask me about something else when you came to see me". Ling Tian gave him a look that meant something.

Mu Shen was stunned for a moment before smiling at him and saying, "Brother Tian, don't worry. I know you have problems that may be very delicate and impossible for you to tell me. Although I have only known you for less than a day, I am sure you are not a bad person. A bad person would not save someone even when his body is full of wounds and he would even risk dying. I think that when the time came, perhaps you would be willing to tell me who you are."

Mu Shen had deduced some things from Ling Tian when he was screaming to vent, but, he knew that he must have a lot of problems and he would not like to talk about it, so he understood.

Ling Tian showed a faint smile.

"I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, you are already my brother, Ling Tian. I can promise that, no matter what happens, I will never forget this grace of saving Shuiru". Mu Shen bowed this time, speaking with great sincerity.

Ling Tian was surprised when Mu Shen told him that. He knew that Mu Shen was being truly sincere and honest with his words. Ling Tian smiled when he remembered his best friend in the immortal world: 'They really look alike, just need to be a womanizer too, hahaha.'

"So, Brother Tian, I hope you make Shuiruo very happy."

Ling Tian was still laughing inwardly when he heard Mu Shen speak and pulled him out of his thoughts: "S-sorry?" Ling Tian thought he heard wrong.

Mu Shen gave a mocking smile as he said, "Do you think my poor sister hasn't fallen in love with you?"

Ling Tian was shocked by what Mu Shen said. Mu Shuiruo in love with him? That can't be true, right? Besides, how did it come to this?

Ling Tian showed a helpless smile and said, "You must be kidding, Brother Tian, I only saved her once, that can't be enough reason for her to fall in love with me..." Ling Tian shook his head.

"Since you saved her from Ming Fen, I'm sure she's already fallen for you. I can assure you. She even used her lap to support your head. She didn't even do that with me." Mu Shen said the latter with some envy in his face.

Ling Tian smiled bitterly inside and tried to change the subject while saying, "By the way, what happened to those guys?"

Mu Shen didn't pursue the subject and responded: "Ming Fen's servants took him away not long after you passed out. It seems that Ming Fen was knocked unconscious..." Mu Shen was amazed to remember how Ling Tian kicked Ming Fen out of the air. He couldn't do that now, at best, it would only set him back a few steps.

"I seem to have gotten you in trouble. I think Ming Fen is one of those great families, if I'm not mistaken." Ling Tian told Mu Shen.

"Huh?" Mu Shen came out of his daze when he remembered what Ling Tian had done and immediately replied, "Don't worry, Brother Tian. I won't let them hurt you and I won't give you up." Mu Shen promised at once. He already considered Ling Tian as his family, his brother.

But, Ling Tian only smiled at what he said. Although he trusted Mu Shen, he still could not trust leaving his life in him.

He knew that under pressure, absolute force, people can change their minds. Force is everything.

So he tried to find many ways to become strong and reach the top of the immortal world. That way, no one could do anything to him or say anything to him. He would control his own life. He would have the power to protect his loved ones. He did not want to lose the people he loved a second time.

Ming Family, Recovery Room.

"Little brother! Who did this to you?!" A handsome young man in fancy clothes approached the bed where Ming Fen lay unconscious.

"Young Master Zeng, the little master's condition is now stable. He is now resting." A senile-looking old man respectfully reported Ming Fen's condition.

Ming Zeng, was Ming Fen's older brother, and was the first young master in the Ming Family.

As Ming Zeng was in solitary cultivation to try to rise from King rank to 2 stars, he said he would only be disturbed if something serious happened, so the news of Ming Fen's condition alarmed him and he ran as fast as he could.

Ming Zeng was angry. Who was so bold as to offend the Ming family?

Trying to calm his anger, Ming Zeng asked, "What exactly is my brother's condition?"

"The little master's condition is stable for now, but I regret to report that, he has several broken ribs and bones in his chest and face, so it will take him more than 6 months to recover. Even his right hand is atrophied for some reason, but we can't find the cause of this. Maybe it was a consequence of the fight. We hope he can recover in time." The old man reported as he looked pitifully at Ming Fen.

Ming Zeng became increasingly enraged as he continued to hear the old man's report. He moved his gaze and fell on one of the servants who was also hurt but conscious: "You, tell me, who did this!" He roared fiercely.

The servant knew that if he did not answer quickly, he would have a very bad time, so he answered immediately: "Young master, it was a bastard who was in the house of Mu Shen who hurt the little master ... perhaps he is a friend of him ..."

Ming Zeng frowned.He knew that his younger brother was after Mu Shen's sister, so he knew about her movements and problems that he had, but, those matters had never reached these extremes.

Ming Zeng hurried to Mu Shen's home.
