Chapter 40 Don't get me wrong, we are just friends

Beside the quiet stream...

A handsome young man and a pretty lady in black sat opposite each other, discussing something in a low voice.

The bright sunshine, the gurgling water, the fresh air...and the young man and woman whispering softly, they looked like a pair of immortal lovers.

Especially the two of them whispered softly, and they had been chatting for at least an hour...If they were not a couple in love, how could they chat for such a long time?

But if you listen closely, you will find that what they said was not love words at all...but...

"Really? I didn't expect that there were countries outside the Qin Dynasty whose national strength and military power were not inferior to the Qin Dynasty...and there were more than one such countries?"

"That's right. If you have never been there, you would never know that there are such magical places in the world."

Recalling the places he had been to, Mo Mengsheng showed a nostalgic look on his face. What he missed was perhaps not the place, but the days of traveling with his most respected master during that time.

"Come to think of it, I've always been curious..."

"Curious about what?"

Mo Mengsheng came to his senses and glanced at Su Jing.

Su Jing looked up and down at the black-clothed girl. She had a fair face and deep pupils. If she didn't have such a shortcoming, she would be a perfect saint in a novel template.

He said: "Although we haven't known each other for too long, I personally think that you are not a coward. Why... did Qin Hai insult you like that?"

"I..."

Mo Mengsheng was stunned when he heard this. A bitter expression appeared on his face. He said softly: "It's easy to die, but it's hard to live... If I want to die, I can die at any time, but I am now the last person in the Mo family. My master, senior brothers and junior brothers have all died for the country. If I die again, won't all the martial arts theories passed down by my Mo family for dozens of generations be destroyed? That is the Mo family's invincible How can I bear to pass down the blood and sweat of my ancestors...”

Su Jing was surprised and said, “So you joined Qin Zheng in order to pass down the Mohist martial arts?”

“This is not my idea, but Master Mo’s idea.”

Mo Mengsheng whispered, “We each have our own mission. Master Mo used their blood to prove the Mohist’s unyielding and bravery, and I used my life to continue the Mohist heritage. Master Mo realized it before he died. He said that the Mohist doctrine was meant to be passed down to the world, and it was wrong to stick to one family before, so he sent me to pass down the Mohist martial arts alive. Learning martial arts and staying in this Xiuwen Hall can be regarded as continuing my Mohist knowledge, right? "

"So you are doing this just to live..."

"So no matter how big the infamy is, I must bear it, because I am carrying the inheritance and hard work of dozens of generations of the entire Mohist family, I must persist!"

Mo Mengsheng wiped his slightly moist eyes and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure and made you laugh."

"It's nothing, you are the one who has a hard time."

Su Jing said sincerely: "It's easy to die, it only takes a moment to be free, but it's hard to live, and it's hard to bear it. After three years of suffering, maybe it's just the beginning. Mengsheng, you are very strong... much stronger than I thought."

"Thank you... you..."

Mo Mengsheng glanced at Su Jing, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Your Highness, I have a presumptuous request. Can you lend me your shoulder to lean on? I'm actually very tired... I want to... take a break..."

"Well, I understand."

"Thank you."

Mo Mengsheng sat forward gently, leaned her head on Su Jing's shoulder, slowly buried her face in it, and her petite body sobbed.

She choked up and said, "I have never said this to anyone. I am not afraid of anyone misunderstanding me, but only you... Your Highness, you are the only person in the world who understands me. We are in the same boat. I don't want you to misunderstand me, and I don't want you to look down on me in your heart."

"I understand, I understand everything. I am your only friend in the world."

"Yes, friend."

Mo Mengsheng choked up again and raised her head. There were still tears in her red and swollen eyes... but she showed a bright smile on her face.

"Yes, any relationship starts with good friends."

Suddenly, a brisk female voice interrupted the harmonious atmosphere between the two...

"Xiao Qiong?!"

Su Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Qiong who was walking slowly.

Mo Mengsheng was startled and hurriedly stood up, saluted to Qin Qiong, and said, "Hello, Princess!"

She seemed to want to explain something, but considering that she was tongue-tied, if people saw her stuttering, it would probably be a fatal blow to the reputation of the Mo family.

At that moment, he had to keep silent, but looked at Su Jing for help.

Su Jing said solemnly: "Xiao Qiong, don't talk nonsense, she is just my friend."

"Yes... just a friend."

Qin Qiong curled his lips and said: "Is there anyone who specifically abandons the students he is teaching and goes to meet with friends in private?"

"It's too harsh to say that I met in private, right?"

Su Jing thought that Xiao Qiong was a pampered princess after all, how could she know the throbbing of a lonely heart that suddenly met someone to rely on?

It was really thanks to the fact that his soul had experienced more than 40 years of hardships in two lives, and it had already matured. Otherwise, he would have reacted more radically than Mo Mengsheng.

"Forget it, I don't care about your two things. I just came back from school and wanted to have a good chat with you, brother. I didn't expect you to stay here with Mr. Mo... Fortunately, I ran into you, otherwise I'm afraid I would have come to nothing again."

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "It seems that I am not welcome today?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Jing smiled at Mo Mengsheng and said, "Mr. Mo, it's late today, so let's just leave it at that... If we have free time in the future, we will talk again."

"Well, I'm sorry for delaying your highness for a lot of time."

Mo Mengsheng stood up, imitated the man's appearance and bowed to Su Jing, then bowed to Qin Qiong, and slowly walked towards the direction of Jixia Academy.

Qin Qiong looked at her back and said softly, "So there is a reason for her surrender. If she hadn't been facing her brother, she probably wouldn't have said it. Now I finally understand why my father looked at her differently. Maybe they have a tacit understanding. She is the only one who knows the Mohist doctrine. My father wants her doctrine, and she wants to pass on her doctrine and martial arts, so... that's why..."

"Yes, it's not easy to live."

Su Jing sighed and said to Qin Qiong solemnly, "Also, Xiao Qiong, you are not allowed to spread the things you just saw outside, understand?"

"I know, my silly brother, how can I not know? Besides, I don't have anyone to spread the word..."

Qin Qiong sighed faintly and said, "She is very pitiful. She can't even find someone to talk to. Brother, you are the same... But I... am not the same?"

"At least you have me, right?"

Su Jing touched Qin Qiong's little head. The little girl is no longer resistant to Su Jing's touch.

The cracks left by Chu Nan before were now carefully repaired by Su Jing, and the brother and sister finally slowly returned to their previous appearance!

"Yes, I still have a brother."

Qin Qiong smiled happily.
