397. The Difficulty of Severing Family Ties
"Who's there?!"
Out of the woods, a man dressed all in black sauntered forth. Under the dim moonlight, his resolute face was clearly visible. Though wrinkles had begun to appear on the middle-aged man's deep-set face, its strong features were still noticeably distinct, carved as if by a knife. His temples were faintly tinged with gray, and he gazed indifferently at the crowd under the moonlight.
"Mu Qingcang?" Ling Tiehan questioned in a sonorous voice.
"Pavilion Master Ling, long time no see," Mu Qingcang responded lightly, nodding. The newcomer was indeed Mu Qingcang, the once unparalleled expert of Great Chu who had suddenly disappeared years ago. Mu Qingcang looked at Ye Li, who was standing to the side, and said, "Princess Consort, you can leave first with your people."
Ye Li walked over to help Zhuo Jing and Lin Han up, nodding respectfully. "We appreciate your assistance, Mr. Mu."
