Mu Ling felt hurt and his eyes were full of regret seeing the flowers being dropped onto the ground.
He had looked forward to the old master's recovery more than anyone.
Although he was in charge of the Mu family now, he might not be anymore if the old master was fully recovered. However, it was obvious that Nan Xian would not return to the Mu family. If the old master did not recover, the Mu family would inevitably suffer.
Only the old master could suppress those who were skittish.
Mu Ling understood that the clan would either prosper or decline as one.
He wanted to take charge of the Mu family. However, he knew that his current strength could not bring the Mu family back to its glory like before, only the old master could do it.
If the Mu family was eventually annexed by other forces, what significance did he have as the young master of the Mu family?
