The Way of The Dao

Chapter 870 Sister Xuzi Is Clearly Willing To Be Your Wife & You Are Still Hesitating!

"So Aunt Zhi and the others are still together with my disciples?""

After meditating on what Mu Shen had said, Ling Tian asked.

"Yes, Aunt Zhi asked us to be careful and emphasized us many times to send messages to her frequently to tell her that we were well." Mu Shen replied with a smile.

Although his parents had passed away earlier, Tang Jingtian and Tang Wanying's parents, Tang Zhi and Tang Wei, still treated him and his sister, Mu Shuiruo, as if they were their own children as well.

"What about Brother Jingtian, do you know anything about him?"

"Brother Jingtian took a different course from us, so we were separated almost from the beginning. But several days ago I received news from them saying that they were well and that they were in this place..." Mu Shen gave a note to Ling Tian that contained some information.

Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen had the same thoughts and goals; experiencing adversities and getting stronger along the way was imperative, therefore, they too could not stay together.

"B-brother, did you seriously appear in the north state? My sister how is she, are the others well?"

Mu Shen asked Ling Tian, wanting to make sure that his younger sister was fine.

Hao Zhentian had told them that he had received news from Shin Wei before they decided to stay in this place, explaining that Ling Tian and all of them were fine.

"Yes, she's fine..."

Ling Tian looked at Mu Shen, knowing his mood, and replied with a faint smile.

"Please, when you see her, tell her that I am fine and that I will visit her in the future..." Mu Shen smiled in relief and said to Ling Tian.

Mu Shuiruo was already married, so now her main family was Ling Tian and Mu Shen did not want to intrude.

Ling Tian nodded again. He too explained in a few words what had happened to him and that in the end they had all met again in the north state and only they were missing.

* Creak... *

The back door of the cottage opened and several figures came out.

"Great brother-in-law!"

Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling respectfully greeted Ling Tian with big smiles.

"Greetings, senior! I thank you for saving me!"

Qin Xuzi, together with these three women, also did not lag behind and cupped her fists towards Ling Tian, greeting him while looking somewhat stupefied at Ling Tian's face, thinking of the stories and legends that the immortals and gods who lived in the heavens were so handsome and beautiful, and Ling Tian looked like a god as he had a wonderfully handsome face.

Not only that, Qin Xuzi was also surprised because Ling Tian didn't seem to be like those powerful adults who were so arrogant or looked down on whoever because they were weak; it was as if Ling Tian was someone like them and he didn't want to be haughty.

Qin Xuzi was even more surprised when she found out that this young man who was the same age as Mu Shen was a great expert in the whole world, and not only that, but Ling Tian and Mu Shen were sworn brothers!

And Mu Shen's younger sister is also one of Ling Tian's wives!

Qin Xuzi knew a little about Mu Shen's younger sister, Mu Shuiruo, who was married to a strong man, but she never imagined that the young man in front of her would be Ling Tian.

But Qin Xuzi's thoughts went no further and soon her eyes turned to Mu Shen, with a slight blush on her cheeks emerging as shyness and nerves attacked her heart.

"It's okay." Ling Tian nodded with a small smile as he looked at the women, glancing at Qin Xuzi at the end before nodding inwardly as he saw her eyes that were so pure and innocent, yet contained a strong and deep feeling every time they looked at Mu Shen.

Qin Xuzi looked so young with a small body, as if she was about 16 years old. But looking a little more in detail and feeling the natural aura of her body, Ling Tian was sure that Qin Xuzi should certainly be 20 years old; only her body was very skinny and small, due to the troubles she has had in her whole life and the abuses she has suffered.

"Tell me, does this brother of mine treat you well?" Ling Tian grinned with interest and asked Qin Xuzi as he pointed his gaze towards Mu Shen, "If he doesn't treat you well, then you can tell me so that I can scold him..."

Qin Xuzi's cheeks blushed even more and she quickly shook her head and with a trembling voice but full of assurance and confidence said, "Brother Shen has always treated me well and makes me very happy!"

When she said the latter, Qin Xuzi could not help but lower her head as a shy smile was painted on her face and her cheeks were deep red. Mu Shen had been the first man who had treated her well despite her scarred face, being kind to her, caring for her and protecting her, never looking at her with scornful or evil eyes.

However, Qin Xuzi's expression changed to one of sadness and some bitterness; although she lived with these people for a short time, she knew that these three sisters who cared for and protected her very much were Mu Shen's wives!

Qin Xuzi did not want to be a bad woman and make her sisters think that she wanted to steal their husband!

Besides, Qin Xuzi had no cultivation and sooner or later she would grow up and grow old, reach the end of her life and die, while everyone would remain young for many years. It would be better if she could only watch Mu Shen and her sisters from afar, with this she would be happy.

Mu Shen's face also blushed a little when he heard Qin Xuzi's words, but he was soon filled with guilt and some fear when he felt the gazes of Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling.

"I-I..." Mu Shen hesitated when he saw that his wives' gazes were still fixed on him.

Mu Shen loves Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling very much, so he knew he was being unfaithful to them if he had feelings for Qin Xuzi. Mu Shen did not want his wives to misunderstand this.

Ling Tian remained silent, watching Mu Shen and the women's reaction. It seemed like he looked like this a while ago when he was with Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, and nearby were also his wives, looking at him with different looks and feelings.

His gaze also passed by Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling, vaguely feeling the feelings in their eyes when they looked at Mu Shen and Qin Xuzi.

"So, she's not that important in your heart? I thought she was also one of your women when she kissed you outside the Guiyan residence, brother..."

Seeing what was happening, Ling Tian suddenly said, giving Mu Shen the little push.

Mu Shen's expression became more filled with nerves and some guilt, not daring to look at his wives as he tried to think of what to say. Qin Xuzi blushed again as she remembered what she had done earlier when she thought she was definitely going to die.

"I-I..." Mu Shen was still hesitating.

"If you don't know, why don't you discuss it with your wives?" Ling Tian said casually.

Knowing that there was a somewhat uneasy atmosphere about them, Ling Tian silently took out the tome Mu Shen had given him earlier and opened the first page, reading the contents inside while hoping that he could once again get that feeling from his other soul so that he could retrieve the information that was interrupted earlier.

"Don't you have anything to say, Mu Shen?"

Hu Wenxin finally asked with a serious tone in her voice.

They all glanced sideways at Ling Tian, but seeing that he lifted the book and seemed to be concentrating on reading, they realized that Ling Tian was not paying attention to them.

"Wenxin... Xie, Ling... I..." Mu Shen looked guiltily at his wives' faces, seeing that they were watching him seriously and full of questions. It was normal for them to be angry, as he would practically be cheating if he allowed himself to have such feelings towards Qin Xuzi.

Qin Xuzi couldn't help but lower her head even further, nervously clutching the corners of her dress as her nerves took over. Qin Xuzi did not want to cause trouble in the relationship of these people who had only treated her well and protected her from all harm, giving her love and affection.

"Sisters, forgive me, I didn't mean to cause you trouble, I..."

"Sister Xuzi is clearly willing to be your wife and you are still hesitating!"

Qin Xuzi had started to speak when she was instantly interrupted by Hu Wenxin, completely overwhelming her!

"Wenxin...?"

Mu Shen couldn't help but be stunned as well upon hearing Hu Wenxin, he looked at her with a sense of confusion upon hearing the meaning of her words. These wives of his weren't angry that he had feelings for Qin Xuzi?

"Sister Xuzi is so good and sincere to everyone, but her eyes towards you cannot hide her genuine emotions!"

"She also has sincere feelings for you, but she evidently keeps them in her heart so as not to cause trouble!"

Deng Xie and Fu Ling also unexpectedly added with voices full of seriousness and conviction.

After all this time of living together, they got to know Qin Xuzi completely and cultivated a deep and sincere friendship, feeling that they could get along very well to the point that they had grown fond of her.

Qin Xuzi was confused and in shock to see these three women say such things. She was very grateful that they cared for her and protected her, considering her a younger sister as well, and Qin Xuzi considered them her sisters in the same way. For that very reason, she did not want to cause misunderstandings and only wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between them; she could not do this betrayal to her sisters who cared for her.

"B-but aren't you angry? I feel that I failed you as a husband and would disrespect you if I had feelings for Sister Xuzi..." Mu Shen stammered as he saw the looks on the women's faces, not quickly comprehending what was going on.

Was this a trap orchestrated by his wives to get him to confess his feelings and show that he was cheating on them?

"Sister Xuzi clearly has feelings for you, but she's holding back and hiding her heart so that we won't have problems between us..." Hu Wenxin stood out among the wives, she looked at Mu Shen and said in a convincing manner, "It's only left for you to take the next step and accept Sister Xuzi!

Mu Shen was stunned to hear this, likewise Qin Xuzi, because she too could not understand what her beloved sisters were saying.
