He loved her dearly, more than he had ever loved before.
Jing Chen was witnessing Mu Lin's incessant chatter for the first time, and from her words, he could clearly understand the depth of her emotions and love for Mu Jue.
It was a daughter's love for her father, a disciple's reverence for her master. It was a profound love that was so deeply hidden that it seemed non-existent.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that her love for Mu Jue was tinged with admiration and respect.
For the past seventeen years, the only person Mu Lin had been able to trust was Mu Jue. Everything else was more like a wild beast to her.
All these emotions intertwined, forming a significant net that completely enveloped Mu Lin.
Jing Chen was relieved to realize that he wasn't excluded from this net. His Linlin hadn't shut him out of her heart.
It filled him with genuine contentment.
