"Let me go! Who are you to me? What I do is none of your business! Why do you keep bothering me? Tell me, I've hated you since the first time I met you. Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll be rude to you."
Su Yi knew that Mu Jin had never liked him, but hearing these words from Mu Jin's mouth for the first time felt like being stabbed by a thousand sharp swords.
He shouted at Mu Jin with a mixture of anger and heartache, "Mu Jin, let me tell you why I've been pursuing you so relentlessly: because I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
Mu Jin ignored him and continued to struggle.
"Can't you calm down and use your brain? How can a woman like you save people? No matter how capable you are, can you be more capable than your father, that great general who has fought on the battlefield all his life? If even he is helpless, you going there will only be sending yourself to your death!"
Hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin suddenly lost her focus. She sobbed, "Then what am I supposed to do? Just hide here and watch my brother's life hang in the balance, and do nothing?"
Su Yi comforted him, "Calm down first, and don't be so pessimistic. The reason why Beiqi Kingdom went back on its word and started the war is simply because last year's snow disaster made their lives difficult."
"They captured our Dongyue general, but all they wanted was some grain, silver, and cities. If they have something in mind, then there must be room for negotiation."
Mu Jin looked at Su Yi with red eyes and shook her head, saying, "But I divorced Su Yuntian because Dongyue sent him as a peace envoy. He wishes the Mu family would all die. How could he sincerely save my brother?"
"Even without him, the emperor has long disliked the Mu family and wanted to find fault with us. Why would he waste money on someone he's wanted to kill for a long time?"
Su Yi wiped away Mu Jia's tears and said, "A Jin, I promise you, as long as Mu Yan is not dead, I will definitely bring him back to you. If you are worried and insist on going, no matter what lies ahead, whether it is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, or a net of heaven and earth, I will accompany you to rescue Mu Yan."
With tears in her eyes, Mu Jin looked at Su Yi's gentle smile. For some reason, that smile was like a warm sun, suddenly soothing Mu Jin's restless heart.
