Murong Rou'er clearly did not notice the old man who had just opened the door. She continued to question Murong Yan pitifully, "Yan'er, I've always treated you well so why did you set me up? I know, those two friends of yours must have had ill intentions towards the Murong family so they had used you! Elder Er, please don't blame Yan'er. She's still too young so it's understandable that she had been used. "
At the end of her speech, Murong Rou'er looked as if she had suddenly come to a realization. She was afraid that the young and ignorant Murong Yan would be blamed by Elder Er so she could not help but kindly defend her.
If Murong Yan had not known this woman's true nature, she would have been deceived by her hypocritical appearance!
However, at this moment, Murong Yan's attention was completely focused on that elderly figure so she completely ignored Murong Rou'er. Her eyes were filled with excitement and an indescribable joy.
"Grandfather..."
Her voice was filled with boundless longing and tears almost flowed from her eyes.
Only the heavens know how I've spent my grandfather's time in a coma!
It's a good thing that he's finally awake...
"Yan'er, what are you talking about?" Murong Rou'er did not notice the strange looks on everyone's faces and only sneered, "Grandfather is still lying in bed, you know that. But what about you? What have you done? I asked you to gather some herbs for Grandfather yet you cowardly returned. You even allowed strangers to come into contact with Grandfather. Even though I believe that you won't hurt Grandfather, I really can't trust those people. If anything happens to Grandfather, Yan'er, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. "
This woman is still trying to blow me up. That damned old man doesn't have my antidote so he won't be able to wake up!
Just as Murong Rou'er had spoken, a low, stifled voice rang out from behind her.
That voice was still weak but there was an unconcealable seriousness and coldness in it.
"Who do you think will regret?" This familiar voice was like a sudden clap of thunder that landed fiercely on Murong Rou'er's heart.
Her body stiffened and she turned around in disbelief. At that moment, an elderly, stern face appeared before her eyes.
The old man was dressed in a long robe that resembled a pine tree and he stood with his hands behind his back. His body was still emaciated due to his illness but it could not conceal his powerful aura. It was so oppressive that it made it hard for one to breathe.
"Patriarch?" The Second Elder was stunned. Then, a strong sense of joy surged into his heart. He said excitedly, "Master, your body …"
"Hehe."
Master Murong chuckled softly and stared gratefully at the green-robed woman who had stepped out from behind him. His elderly features were filled with a smile.
"This is all thanks to Yan 'er's friend. She was the one who pulled me back from the gates of hell."
The Second Elder was completely stunned on the spot. His astonished gaze landed on the woman's elegant face. Then, he recalled what he had done during this period of time and a wave of shame surged into his heart.
"So Second Miss didn't continue to search for medicinal herbs because she brought back a highly skilled doctor. It seems that I have misunderstood Second Miss and this young lady this time."
Elder Er turned to Gu Ruoyun apologetically at the thought of this and said, "Lady Gu, I'm very sorry for my rudeness towards you in the past. However, you've saved the Master so you're the Murong family's benefactor."
Initially, he had refused to take Gu Ruoyun and Ye Nuo in not only because they had been too disheveled. The main reason was that in a place like Black Rock City, the strong preyed on the weak. What if these two were spies from other organizations? Would that not bring harm to the Murong family?
