Chaotic Sword Emperor

Chapter 12 – Who is not qualified to live on?

"Miss, Miss!"

Seeing Huang Yiyun rush towards Su Mu, Little Huan hurriedly pulled her back.

"Miss, your injuries haven't healed yet, you mustn't fight again!"

"Let go of me!" Huang Yiyun glared at Little Huan and commanded, but Little Huan refused to let go.

"Miss, please calm down. You were possessed by a demonic frenzy, and it was Young Master Su Mu who saved you!"

"What?" Huang Yiyun was taken aback upon hearing this and incredulously turned to look at Little Huan after glancing at Su Mu.

"He saved me?"

Little Huan nodded urgently, then continued, "Just now, your condition was critical. If it weren't for Young Master Su Mu's timely rescue, you might have been..."

Huang Yiyun was stunned. It was Su Mu who had saved her, yet he was the one who drove her sister mad, betrayed her, and even spied on her bathing. Now, he had saved her life, which was something she found hard to accept.

"How did he save me?" Huang Yiyun suddenly remembered she had been naked at the time, and her face turned icy in an instant.

"This..." Little Huan opened her mouth, at a loss for words. After all, everything is excusable when saving a life, but the Miss might not see it that way.

"Yiyun, let me explain." At this point, Su Mu had no choice but to speak up, "I obtained a map from the Zhang Family that led me to an Ice Spirit Spring, where I came to cultivate. After finishing my cultivation, I noticed the water temperature rising, and then..."

Su Mu took out the map, smiling wryly. The situation was just too damn coincidental.

Looking at the map in his hand, Huang Yiyun was stunned again. So, it was really just a coincidence? But it was too much of a coincidence.

"Fine, even if all that can be explained, how do you explain the rape? My sister went mad because of you!" Huang Yiyun's face turned icy again; she could never forgive Su Mu for this.

"Yiyun, it's a long story. I was framed, and if I were truly such a person, would you and your sister still be safe here?" Su Mu took a deep breath, recalling how Su Mocheng had destroyed his Dantian and how Junrou had gone mad because of him, and rage surged within him!

Huang Yiyun was momentarily unable to refute; indeed, she and Little Huan had not been violated.

"That might just be a moment of conscience on your part, feeling guilty towards my sister. But the things you've done are well known to all!" This was still just Su Mu's side of the story. Although she was starting to believe him, the fact that her sister had gone mad over this was something she couldn't forgive.

If it weren't for her sister's madness, she wouldn't have chosen a deviant path of cultivation, nor would she have suffered from demonic frenzy today!

"Yiyun, you'll understand everything later. Can you tell me how your sister is now?" Su Mu's heart trembled as he asked about Huang Junrou, the person he felt most guilty towards in his life.

"You still want to..." Huang Yiyun began angrily, but seeing the deep pain and affection in Su Mu's eyes, she softened and closed her mouth, refraining from further harsh words.

"Perhaps, things are not as they seem..."

"My sister is now at the Martial House, being treated by a powerful healer, but we don't know the specifics." Her heart was torn, but she replied indifferently.

Su Mu nodded and sighed with relief, his gaze resolute. Junrou, I'll come for you soon!

"There are no beasts around. Yiyun, you heal here; I must go." Su Mu spoke and turned to leave, to avoid further misunderstandings with Huang Yiyun.

Watching Su Mu's solitary figure, Huang Yiyun's icy facade melted away, feeling the loneliness and pain emanating from him.

"Miss, could it be that Young Master Su Mu really has his reasons? He has always been a righteous person in the past." Little Huan spoke up, and Huang Yiyun remained silent, not objecting to Little Huan addressing Su Mu as Young Master.

"Miss, although I don't know what happened, if Young Master Su Mu is truly wronged, then it's too pitiful that only the elder miss believes in him." Little Huan looked at Su Mu's retreating figure with sympathy.

Huang Yiyun bit her lip, her expression growing complex.

"Miss, Young Master Su Mu is back!" Suddenly, Little Huan's exclamation snapped her out of her thoughts, and Huang Yiyun looked up to see Su Mu returning.

"Yiyun, you'll know the truth soon." Su Mu walked back with a serious expression, leaving Huang Yiyun utterly confused. What truth?

"Take your Miss and hide in the Ice Spirit Spring. Don't come out unless I call for you!"

Huang Yiyun and her maid were stunned, clueless about what was happening.

"Quick!" Su Mu shouted sternly, and Little Huan, shocked into action, hurriedly pulled Huang Yiyun to hide in the Ice Spirit Spring.

"Clang!"

Once they were hidden, Su Mu drew his sword and advanced forward.

"What's going on?"

Huang Yiyun and her maid hid behind the aquatic plants, peering through the gaps at Su Mu, full of doubts.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Then they saw more than a dozen figures dart out from the jungle, completely blocking Su Mu's path!

"Who are they?" The two women were startled, now understanding why Su Mu had told them to hide.

"They seem to be from the Su Family! Why do they want to kill Young Master Su Mu?"

"Su Mu committed an unforgivable act; it's only logical for the Su Family to hunt him down." Huang Yiyun spoke coldly, and Little Huan turned to look at her in astonishment, as if to say, "Miss, do you really believe that?"

Seeing Little Huan's questioning gaze, Huang Yiyun huffed. Even if Su Mu was wronged and had his reasons, it didn't change the fact that he had seen her naked, and he might have even touched her. She was a maiden, and Su Mu was technically her brother-in-law...

Thinking of this, Huang Yiyun couldn't help but bite her lip harder, yet her eyes remained fixed on Su Mu.

"Su Mu, I never thought you could rise again after the Family Head destroyed your Dantian, and that you'd kill so many of our stewards!"

The group closed in on Su Mu—twelve stewards and three elders from the Su Family!

Su Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. No wonder they hadn't attacked immediately upon finding him; they had discovered the bodies of the six stewards and were gathering forces to annihilate him in one fell swoop.

His sword ready, he thought it was just as well to settle this once and for all.

"Su Mocheng, that old dog, really thinks highly of me, sending you three elders and the Fourth Elder!" Su Mu glanced behind him and spoke coldly.

"Su Mu, the family has raised you for so many years; you should understand that you don't deserve to live!" The Fourth Elder stepped forward, his aged face filled with malice. Here, without outsiders, they no longer needed to hide their true feelings.

"Heh, I don't deserve to live? Do Su Mocheng and his son deserve to live?" Su Mu sneered repeatedly. Without him, could the Su Family have grown to its current state? A bunch of ungrateful wretches saying he didn't deserve to live, how laughable!
