Chapter 1436: Owe Her

```

In the dead of night, Longhun summoned Mo Ku to his presence.

Worried that Longhun was truly losing his mind, Mo Ku knew all too well how deeply Longhun loved Shi Xueqin. He had watched step by step as Longhun reached this point, and he knew Longhun to be a rational man. Yet even the rational have their muddled moments—he said at once, "You can't seriously believe Su Zhanze's nonsense and consider giving up, can you? That man won't spare Shi Xueqin." They had only just escaped, a miraculous escape from near certain death. Though they were not yet out of danger, their chances of success had greatly increased.

Suddenly, Longhun became as tranquil as an elderly man and sat down on a rock, saying, "No, if I don't go, the lass and the child will likely be killed. If I do go, he should spare the child."

Mo Ku heard Longhun's resolution and became anxious, saying, "That man hates the Island Master so much, he might very well go back on his word."
