Chapter 160 Responsibilities
Nangong Yun was so angry at Nangong Min that her whole body was shaking. She hadn't expected that Nangong Min would abandon the sect rules and responsibilities of the Nangong Divine Sect for hundreds of years just for Mu Jin.
"Tell grandma that Mu Jin is a married woman, how can she attract you? In terms of appearance, Ling'er is not bad, and she has remained a virgin for you. When Nangong Ce tried every means to marry her, she would rather die than marry, waiting for you to come back. How can you let her down?"
Nangong Min interrupted Nangong Yun anxiously: "Grandma, I beg you not to say that about Ah Jin, and I beg you not to compare her with anyone else. I love her as a person. I don't care about her past, her identity, or how she treats me."
Nangong Yun sneered angrily: "Tell grandma, did Mu Jin already know the effect of your blood, and then she deliberately seduced you?"
Hearing Nangong Yun's suspicion that Mu Jin knew the secret of his blood and therefore had ulterior motives towards him, Nangong Min's body stiffened. He had indeed told Mu Jin the use of his blood.
But he knew that Mu Jin was not such a person. Nangong Min was afraid that it would cause Nangong Yun to have a deeper misunderstanding of Mu Jin, so he quickly denied it.
"Grandma, please calm down. She really doesn't know what happened to your grandson. Ah Jin saved your grandson's life. At that time, your grandson didn't know his origins and had nowhere to go. It was she who took him in. Your grandson fell in love with her over time. Ah Jin didn't seduce your grandson. I hope your grandmother can see clearly."
Nangong Yun snorted coldly: "Min'er, grandma has watched you grow up since you were a child. Grandma can tell whether you are lying or not at a glance."
"Do you dare to swear to heaven that she knows nothing about what happened to you? If you lie, Mu Jin will die a miserable death?"
Nangong Min never expected that his grandmother, who had loved him since childhood, would suddenly ask him to swear such a vicious oath.
"Grandma~"
Nangong Min just looked at Nangong Yun with red eyes. Even if Mu Jin knew nothing about it, he would not swear such a poisonous oath in Mu Jin's name. He could only shed tears and knock his head heavily on the ground, not daring to say another word.
Because his forehead hit the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, blood flowed onto the ground along the punctured forehead.
Nangong Yun couldn't bear to look at his grandson whom he had held in his hands since childhood, and his voice finally softened.
"You have been well-behaved and obedient since you were a child. Not only do I love you, but your parents and elders also love you as their own heart and soul. Min'er, you can't be foolish and make those who love you worry about you."
"Now that your parents are gone, our Nangong Divine Sect can no longer afford to struggle. You should listen to your grandmother and wait until you inherit the position of Sect Leader, marry Ling'er, and continue our Nangong bloodline, okay?"
Nangong Min looked sad and knelt there without saying a word.
Nangong Min originally thought that since Mu Jin saved his life, Nangong Yun would be grateful to Mu Jin, so it would be natural for him to agree to let him be with Mu Jin.
But unexpectedly, when Nangong Yun knew that he was with Mu Jin, not only did he not bless him, but he only rejected him harshly.
Mu Jin once made a promise to him that only after getting the sincere approval of his grandmother would she move forward side by side with him without reservation.
Thinking of this, Nangong Min closed his eyes painfully again, letting the sad tears fall silently.
Looking at the grandson in front of him who was deeply in love, how could Nangong Yun not know that Nangong Min was deeply in love with Mu Jin?
However, as members of the Nangong Divine Sect, the responsibilities they shoulder are like a heavy burden, forcing them to learn to give up many precious things, including the word "love".
"Min'er, your current feelings for Mu Jin are just gratitude that you mistook for love."
Nangong Min shook his head. He couldn't tell whether he felt gratitude or love towards Mu Jin.
"You heard from my grandmother that she was young once, and she also fell in love with a scholar when she was traveling. She also had a dispute with my parents over the so-called love. At that time, I didn't understand why the mission of the entire Nangong Divine Sect had to be shouldered by a woman like me."
"But my parents told me that as Nangong people, we don't have the power to choose for ourselves. The blood flowing in our bodies carries responsibilities that cannot be replaced by others."
"We must unite with the Miao people to produce the purest bloodline. When people are in danger, we can stand up and save them from the dire straits."
"People should not be too selfish and only consider their own interests."
"Grandmother chose the common people, inherited the position of clan leader, and combined with your grandfather, the Miaogong Lingzi, to give birth to your father."
"Although your grandfather and I did not have a deep emotional foundation, when he was alive, we were still able to support each other and help each other. Looking back now, the dispute between my parents and I because of that scholar does seem a bit ridiculous."
Nangong Min slowly raised his head and slowly crawled on his knees to Nangong Yun's side. He hugged Nangong Yun's knees like he did when he was a child and gently rested his head on Nangong Yun's knees. He begged Nangong Yun.
"Grandma, but I can't do this. I can't imagine what I would be like without Ah Jin. Please have mercy on me and help me and Mu Jin be together."
Nangong Yun sighed softly and stroked Nangong Min's hair gently.
"Believe me, grandma. It will pass if you bear with it. Your grandfather and I were also forced to be together, but we were able to develop feelings for each other later on."
"Can you please have some pity on your grandmother? Not long after I gave birth to your father, your grandfather died. As a woman, I not only had to educate your father, but also had to grit my teeth and support all the affairs of the clan."
"I finally watched your father take over as the sect leader, get married and have children. I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But because of that evil Nangong Ce... your father actually passed away before me!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to hold on. I waited day and night until you finally came of age and took over the position of clan leader, but you suddenly disappeared! You were nowhere to be found alive, and your body was nowhere to be found after your death. I held on for so many years, and now you are finally back. How long do you think you can continue to torment my grandmother's life?"
As Nangong Yun spoke, she felt more and more sad. Even though she had always been strong, her eyes slowly turned red.
"Ling'er is a good girl. She has been with grandma for the past few years since you disappeared. She has known since she was a child that you are her future husband. She loves you deeply. You can't hurt her heart or grandma's heart again, okay?"
Nangong Min looked up at Nangong Yun and said, "Grandma, I have always regarded Ling'er as my sister. She and I only have a brother-sister relationship, not a man-woman relationship. I will explain it to Ling'er later, and she will understand. Grandma, please grant your grandson's wish."
After saying so much, Nangong Min was still so stubborn that Nangong Yun couldn't help but lose his patience.
