Stay Then

Mu Hongyu sighed. "This started half a month ago…"

Originally, after Chu Liuyue left the Imperial City, Mu Hongyu also took leave from the academy and planned to follow her mother home.

Ever since she went to the Imperial City to study, she had never gone home before. Her mother's body was recovering this time, so she wanted to go back and reunite with her family.

However, she didn't expect to meet with an ambush midway.

It turned out that Elder Wu Shan had betrayed them and attracted people to come and assassinate them.

Amidst the panic, Mu Hongyu used herself as bait and diverted those people's attention so that Elder Ji Chang could bring her mother away and leave.

But because her mother kept objecting, Mu Hongyu personally used her sword and knocked her out cold.
