Chapter 327: Everything for Him
Murong Ling'er was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up, her expression becoming a little serious: "I plan to leave for a while."
"Leaving?" Chu Lingfeng's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock and reluctance. "Where are you going? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
As he spoke, he subconsciously took a step forward, his hands unconsciously clenched, as if he was afraid that Murong Ling'er would suddenly disappear.
Murong Ling'er looked at Chu Lingfeng's nervous expression, and her heart moved slightly. Her eyes softened a little, and she said softly, "Remember I promised to help you detoxify? I'm still short of a few extremely rare herbs. The distribution of these herbs is extremely demanding and extremely rare. I must go find them myself. Your poison can't be cured any longer. If we delay any longer, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chu Lingfeng felt warm in his heart, and his originally anxious heart finally settled down. Touched and surprised were intertwined in his heart.
He took a step forward, tightly grasped Murong Ling'er's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Ling'er, you...why would you take such a risk? For me, it's not worth it."
Murong Linger gently broke free from his hand, turned her head away, and whispered, "This is a deal between us. I will keep my promise. You don't have to think too much. And you have to help me take good care of Chen'er."
Chu Lingfeng looked at Murong Ling'er with mixed feelings. He knew that Murong Ling'er said it was a deal on the surface, but the difficulty and danger of traveling all the way to find the rare medicinal herbs that no one knew where they were was unimaginable. If she didn't care, how could she do this?
At this moment, Chu Lingfeng, who had always been strong and resolute, became extremely soft-hearted. Murong Ling'er in front of him had become the most important person in his life.
Chu Lingfeng looked at Murong Ling'er, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Murong Ling'er mistakenly thought that he was overwhelmed by the surprise.
After all, it had been a while since I promised to help him detoxify, but there had been no substantial action. Now that I suddenly said I was going to look for medicinal herbs, it was understandable that he was so excited that he was speechless.
Murong Ling'er's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. She whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry. I'll be gone this time. If it's fast, it will take three months, if it's slow, it will only take half a year. When I come back, I will definitely be able to help you detoxify."
Chu Lingfeng took a deep breath, his brows still furrowed, his tone full of worry: "Those medicinal herbs are precious and rare, and the growing environment must be extremely harsh. I am really worried about you going alone. Let Lin Yu go with you! He is also good in martial arts and can help you at a critical moment."
He knew in his heart that it was extremely difficult to find those medicinal herbs. Although Murong Ling'er was a martial arts expert, she had to take on the risk alone. What if something went wrong... He didn't dare to think any further.
Murong Ling'er shook her head slightly, her attitude firm: "No, it's more convenient for me to move alone. You know my ability, I can go to heaven and earth without any problem. Having someone around will only slow down my speed and delay my journey."
She had another plan in mind. This long journey was not only to look for medicinal herbs, but also to take the opportunity to investigate the affairs of her original body's parents.
This was the secret in her heart and also the knot in her heart, so she decided to leave her son on the island to prevent him from taking risks with her.
After hearing this, Chu Lingfeng was filled with melancholy and loss.
He looked at Murong Ling'er, his eyes full of helplessness and reluctance. He wished he could accompany her to travel all over the mountains and rivers and protect her, but his current situation made it inconvenient for him to leave.
He secretly clenched his fists, and a strong desire surged in his heart, hoping that he could become stronger and walk side by side with her, instead of just watching her go away alone.
After Chu Lingfeng left, Murong Chen, who had been eavesdropping behind the screen in the house, had red eyes. Like a frightened deer, he quickly ran out and hugged Murong Linger's arms tightly, crying, "Mother, I don't want you to leave. I want to go with you."
Murong Ling'er was slightly startled, then lowered her head, stretched out her hands and gently hugged Murong Chen into her arms, her voice so gentle that it could drip water: "Chen'er, did you hear everything?"
Murong Chen nodded with sobs. He was just curious as a child and wanted to listen to what the adults were talking about, but he didn't expect to hear the news that his mother was leaving.
He had never been separated from his mother since he was a child. When he thought about his mother leaving without him, he suddenly panicked and his eyes became red involuntarily.
Murong Ling'er didn't blame him for eavesdropping, but patiently explained, "Chen'er, your Uncle Chu is poisoned with a very strong poison. If he delays any longer, his life will be in danger. The herbs that can detoxify him are extremely rare, and the place where they grow is also very dangerous. Ordinary people can't find them at all."
"Mother promised to help him detoxify, and he will help us in the future. This will be a strong help for you and will protect you in the future."
Murong Chen raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and said stubbornly, "But I don't want any help, I just want my mother to accompany me."
Murong Ling'er touched his head distressedly and said softly, "Chen'er, be good. Mother doesn't want to leave you, but this time is really important. You stay on the island and wait for mother to come back. I will bring you lots of fun things."
Murong Chen bit his lip and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he nodded and said with tears in his eyes, "Then mother, you must come back soon. I will wait for you obediently."
Under the flickering candlelight, Murong Ling'er gently stroked Murong Chen's head, her expression solemn and serious. She knew very well that it was time for her son to understand some principles about interpersonal relationships and the future.
"Chen'er, in this world, the interactions between people and the interests they hold are like strong ropes, tightly connecting one another. Those verbal promises are like duckweed floating on the water. They look beautiful, but a gust of wind will blow them away without a trace. They are illusory and cannot be relied upon at all."
"Only when you can make the other party gain real benefits and firmly control this relationship, will the other party be willing to serve you wholeheartedly." Murong Linger said slowly, her eyes revealing the wisdom of seeing through the world.
Murong Chen blinked his big eyes, listening as if he understood something, his little face full of concentration.
Murong Linger continued, "This principle applies not only to your Uncle Chu, but also to everyone else. You must deeply engrave it in your heart. It will be an important principle for you to navigate the martial arts world and gain a foothold in the future."
Murong Ling'er knew in her heart that Chu Lingfeng was truly sincere towards them and their son at this moment.
Looking back on the past, in those critical moments, Chu Lingfeng always stood by them without hesitation and helped them overcome the difficulties.
However, she also knew that these friendships based on sharing weal and woe were not enough to make this relationship last in this complex and unpredictable world.
Only by truly helping Chu Lingfeng solve his life and death problem and allowing him to recover his health, will this kindness be like a heavy hammer, leaving a deep mark in his heart, making him willingly become Chen'er's most solid support in the future.
