Tan Yue Wan had not expected Mu Chang Xi to reveal the person behind Mr. Zhu!
He was greatly shocked, looking at Mu Chang Xi in disbelief: "You... how do you know?!"
He took two steps back, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Who exactly are you people?"
"Heh—"
Mu Chang Xi let out a cold laugh: "Mu Han Su has always had wolfish ambitions. I've almost figured out what he's building this place for."
Mu Chang Xi's gaze towards Tan Yue held a hint of authority: "Tan Yue, tell me about this place."
"You're crazy, are you insane?!"
Tan Yue clearly knew the methods of Mu Han Su and that Mr. Zhu, his body trembling even more violently. kAnshuWu.ξà
He kept shaking his head at Mu Chang Xi: "Impossible, impossible! You couldn't possibly know about his existence, who exactly are you people?!"
He tried to calm himself down, but the aura emanating from Mu Chang Xi made it difficult for him to breathe: "I'm telling you, I cannot betray Mr. Zhu! I'm so close to making it, why should I believe you? Mr. Zhu promised me a large sum of money to take my brother and flee far away! He wouldn't lie to me, he saved my life!"
"Heh!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chang Xi let out another cold laugh: "Saved your life? He saved the Tan family, not you, Tan Yue. What he wants is the Tan family's ancestral medical and poisonous arts, not you, Tan Yue."
Mu Chang Xi calculated carefully, then asked Tan Yue calmly: "You've been here for quite a few years, haven't you? So you probably know what Mr. Zhu and Mu Han Su established this place for, right?"
Yes, about two years ago, Tan Yue had a rough idea of the place's purpose.
It was just that he couldn't bear to think about it, nor dared to.
Mu Chang Xi continued to stare at Tan Yue, showing no signs of relaxation: "For him, the more people who know about such matters, the greater the danger. Whether he succeeds or fails, he will not be caught red-handed in the end. Therefore, he will definitely kill you, kill everyone here. Only when all of you are dead will he not leave behind any trouble. Tan Yue, you understand this logic better than I do, don't you?"
Mu Chang Xi's words were the truth and enough to shatter Tan Yue's last shred of "illusion."
He looked up at Mu Chang Xi, a great sadness welling up in his eyes: "I will escape, I will flee from here. I will go to a place where he cannot find me, and start anew with my brother!"
"You cannot escape."
Mu Chang Xi's tone was firm: "You should know what this matter means to Mu Han Su. Moreover, this Peach Blossom Spring territory only has two entrances and exits. Perhaps one day while you are still asleep, this place will be burned to ashes. Tan Yue, don't deceive yourself, you cannot escape that person's grasp."
Mu Chang Xi sneered: "Even if you think you can escape, do you want to drag Tan Xing through a life of wandering and hiding? You've already abandoned him for so many years, do you want his remaining life to be one of constant upheaval?" wAp.kanshuWu.net
Song Chao Yu also knew in her heart that for Tan Yue, Tan Xing was the most important person.
Clearly, Mu Chang Xi's words caused a flicker of wavering in Tan Yue's eyes.
He didn't want to stay here, but he had no choice but to stay.
He had once thought he would have a chance to leave and provide a good life for his brother.
Everything he thought was just his own thoughts!
"Brother..."
At this moment, although Tan Xing was too young to understand who Mr. Zhu and Mu Han Su were, he could vaguely sense that Tan Yue was involved in something very serious.
This place that should not exist was like an abyss between the brothers, extremely dangerous.
Tan Xing mustered his courage, stepped forward, and stood in front of Tan Yue: "Brother, although I don't know what happened. I think they are right, I don't want Brother to die, nor do I want Brother to be on the run for his entire life. Brother, can you trust them this once?"
In fact, even Song Chao Yu didn't know why Tan Xing trusted them so much.
They had only known Tan Xing for a short time, hadn't they?
Tan Yue was stunned. Looking at his brother before him, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness.
He reached out and gently gestured to Tan Xing's current height, which reached his nose tip, then gave a wry smile: "When we were separated, you were just a child who reached my chest. Now you're almost as tall as me, Xiao Xing. You deserve a better life, even if that life doesn't include me."
He suddenly looked at Mu Chang Xi and Song Chao Yu: "Although I don't know who you are. But you brought Xiao Xing to me, and you've also made our father the better person he is now. I think I can trust you, right?"
He took Tan Yue's hand and walked to Mu Chang Xi: "My life, I'm afraid, is inescapable. You're right, I will die here, along with that person's secrets, and disappear from this world. The only thing I'm worried about is Xiao Xing."
Tan Yue turned back and looked at his sleeping place: "I've hidden my savings from these years there, as well as some things for Xiao Xing. Take those things with you and leave with Xiao Xing later. Leave this place, and never return!"
He seemed to have made up his mind, pushing Tan Xing towards Mu Chang Xi: "Xiao Xing, just pretend you never met me today. Anyway, many years ago, I already died on Mao Mountain while gathering herbs. Just think of me as dead!"
As a brother, such a decision was within Song Chao Yu's expectations.
"No, impossible!"
Tan Xing absolutely refused to accept this outcome. He turned back and grabbed Tan Yue's sleeve: "You're clearly still alive, how can I pretend you're dead?! Brother, are you going to abandon me again?!"
Perhaps it was this sentence that touched Mu Chang Xi, who had been separated from his concubine since childhood.
He suddenly looked at Tan Yue: "Tan Yue, we can take you with us. But you have to tell us all the secrets about this place."
Tan Yue was stunned. His first reaction was naturally disbelief: "How is that possible?! The guards here check if anyone is asleep in the rooms every hour. Moreover, Mr. Zhu has also arrived. If he knows I'm gone, he'll search the earth to find me! Don't take the risk, don't risk my brother's life with you."
"You won't."
Mu Chang Xi had clearly made up his mind: "I cannot tell you who I am, but I can tell you not to underestimate me. I will not risk anyone's life. Tan Yue, tell me about this place, and I will take you and Tan Xing away, and reunite your family."
