Unlike Nangong Min, whose face was deathly pale, Mu Jin was stunned. She hadn't expected Su Yi to know the secrets of the Nangong Divine Sect.
"How do you know all this?" Mu Jin asked Su Yi.
Su Yi raised an eyebrow: "He told you on his own initiative?"
"I asked you first, why are you asking me the same question back?"
Mu Jin did not directly respond to Su Yi. It was indeed not something that Nangong Min had told her on his own initiative, but she did not want to embarrass Nangong Min in front of Su Yi, since this was also a matter between her and Nangong Min.
Su Yi looked at Mu Jin, who was deliberately changing the subject, and knew that this was not something Nangong Min had told Mu Jin on his own initiative.
Su Yi glanced at Nangong Min and sneered.
Following Su Yi's gaze, Mu Jin then noticed that Nangong Min, standing beside her, was looking at her with a pale face.
Mu Jin stepped forward and took Nangong Min's hand, and Nangong Min's expression improved slightly. He forced a smile and gave Mu Jin a brief one.
"I'm tired, let's go back to the inn," Mu Jin said to Nangong Min.
"good!"
Mu Jin, holding Nangong Min's hand, passed by Su Yi and said, "We have other matters to attend to. Please make yourself at home, King Yi."
Su Yi suddenly grabbed Mu Jin's arm tightly. Mu Jin's attitude towards him was completely different from her attitude towards Nangong Min, which made him feel somewhat angry.
"I traveled all the way from the capital, day and night, to find you, and you just leave me here like this?"
Mu Jin asked in confusion, "What do you want with me?"
"I~" Su Yi froze on the spot, staring intently at Mu Jin. Mu Jin could tell that Su Yi seemed to be a little angry.
Mu Jin thought about it. It seemed that Su Yi had come because he was worried about her. But now that he had left the capital, she felt that there was no need to have any more involvement with the Su family.
"Thank you for your concern, King Yi. I am well. Now that this matter is over, and we are both exhausted, let us part ways here. May we meet again someday, as the green hills remain and the waters flow on."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, she turned around and left with Nangong Min's hand without waiting for Su Yi's reply.
Su Yi watched as Mu Jin led Nangong Min away from him, his face as cold as ice.
After learning about the unusual relationship between Nangong Min and Mu Jin from the merchants in Lingfeng County, he was furious, but since he hadn't witnessed it himself, he could only keep telling himself that perhaps those people had misunderstood.
Until today, he arrived at Immortal Town and found the inn where Mu Jin and Nangong Min were staying.
He stood quietly at the street corner, waiting. Until he watched Nangong Min and Mu Jin walk out of the inn, hand in hand intimately.
They went to a food stall together to eat wontons, and then picked out small items together at a street stall.
From a distance, the two appeared remarkably in sync, their every move perfectly synchronized. His act of hiding in the shadows, spying on their every move, seemed utterly ridiculous.
He wanted to rush up and pull their hands apart. Nangong Min clearly had a fiancée, how dare he hold Mu Jin's hand like this in public?
So he pretended not to care and appeared in front of them, then couldn't wait to tell them that Nangong Min had a fiancée.
However, to his surprise, Mu Jin actually knew about Nangong Min and Bai Ling'er.
She knew about Nangong Min's relationship with Bai Ling'er, yet she still chose to be with Nangong Min, which makes people wonder: Could it be that her love for Nangong Min has reached an inescapable point?
Su Yi watched the two walk further and further away from him with a gloomy expression, his heart filled with insane jealousy.
He wanted to turn around and leave. She was just a woman. When had he ever been so humble for a woman?
Although he thought this way, his feet involuntarily followed the direction in which Nangong Min and Mu Jin left.
At this moment, Ling Feng and Ling Yu, who were following behind Su Yi, exchanged a glance, shook their heads and sighed, and then followed Su Yi.
In the crowd, Mu Jin held Nangong Min's hand and continued walking forward. However, Nangong Min was unusually quiet along the way, and there was nothing wrong with his expression.
However, Mu Jin could sense from Nangong Min's tight grip on her hand how uneasy he was at that moment.
"Min, don't take those words to heart. You know Su Yi, his mouth is like it's been poisoned, and the things he says are always annoying."
Nangong Min shook his head and said softly, "No, it's my fault. I should have resolved everything first before telling you what I said in the cave."
Mu Jin smiled and said, "If you regret it now, we can take back the promises we made to each other in the cave back then."
Nangong Min paused, and the color drained from his face.
Nangong Min suddenly grabbed Mu Jin's hand tightly: "A Jin... no!"
"Min, you're hurting me."
Nangong Min immediately let go of Mu Jin's hand, then hurriedly took Mu Jin's hand in both of his, carefully blew on it, and said apologetically, "Ah Jin, I'm sorry~"
Mu Jin shook her head: "Are you upset about what Su Yi said?"
"It hurts." Nangong Min paused for a moment, then slowly said, "It hurts a lot."
Mu Jin smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, the person you should care about is me. Why be upset because of what others say?"
Nangong Min lowered his head and murmured, "My pain isn't just because of his words, but I'm more worried that those words will make you suddenly despise me again. I'm really scared."
"Since I have already promised you that I will visit your grandmother after the matter of Nangong Shenzong is resolved, and listen to her advice before making a decision, you don't need to worry too much."
"Is this a lack of confidence in yourself, or a lack of confidence in me?"
Nangong Min looked up at the crescent moon on the horizon, then looked down at Mu Jin holding his hand, and remained silent for a long time.
