"His suffering will not end because of your actions today."

"Today may end because of your interference, but there's always tomorrow, the day after..."

"You might even suffer because of him..."

"so..."

“If you really want to protect him, to protect your brother, you need to become stronger than you are now, you need to work hard to climb to a higher position.”

"In just a few years, Tianquan, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, will abdicate. This might be your chance..."

The man said many, many things that day, and it was during that time that Ningguang received the name "Ningguang"...

Ningguang returned to the alley that day, and it wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that a limping figure walked out of the alley.

He still didn't say where the wound came from, he just kept smiling at Ningguang.

However, Ningguang didn't ask any further questions, because she knew where the wound came from.

That day, Ningguang began to have things on her mind, and started to hide some things from her younger brother.

For example, she wants to become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue for her younger brother's sake...

For example, for his younger brother's sake, he wants to send him out of Liyue Harbor so he won't be bullied anymore...

Ningguang has already chosen the place where Muxian will go: the Ancient Hua Sect near Liyue Harbor.

Ningguang had been secretly observing for a long time and concluded that Mu Xian wouldn't be bullied there.

Moreover, they also teach swordsmanship there...

Mu Xian loves practicing swordsmanship so much, he'll definitely love it!

Chapter 191 Family 5

1,600 Mora.

Sending my younger brother to Guhuapai would cost at least 1,600 Mora.

Ningguang spent a long time collecting Mora, and in the end, she only had 1,400 Mora left.

With only two hundred Mora left to raise, Ningguang cherished the time she spent with her younger brother even more.

That day, she was sitting in the car as usual, and it was almost late afternoon as usual.

But that afternoon, Ningguang met a down-on-his-luck painter who had left Fontainebleau.

When Ningguang met the painter, she had an idea: she wanted him to paint her and her brother one by one.

Of course, there's also the little car, the sun in the sky, and the sea in the distance...

There are so many other things.

The demanding conditions led the painter to ask for two thousand moras.

In the end, save Mora's Glow by only spending 200 Mora's, and let him only draw himself, Mu Xian, and the car.

Even so...

But at that time, Mu Xian still had a distressed look on his face.

Why waste two hundred Mora on these useless things when there isn't much Mora?

Although his younger brother didn't say it aloud, that was the expression on his face.

but...

Brother...this isn't some useless thing...

After you left, only this picture will remain to keep me company...

In the picture, the girl has her arms around the boy, and she is sitting in the car with her whole body leaning against the boy's back.

Ningguang remembers that she leaned against him for a long time that day, and she was very close to him.

Ningguang felt the warmth of the person in her arms so intensely that she could feel it for so long that she could never forget that warmth.

perhaps...

Spending those two hundred Mora was probably so that Mu Xian could spend more time with him.

This is Ningguang's little selfish desire, and only a tiny little selfish desire.

If he stays in Liyue Harbor any longer, he'll likely be bullied again...

However, even though I used up 200 Mora... I still managed to gather 1,600 Mora quickly.

On the way to Guhua Sect with Mu Xian, she specially bought Mu Xian a very clean set of clothes this time.

He was already upset for a long time over just 200 Mora, so what would he do if he knew that 1,600 Mora had been spent on him?

Therefore, Ningguang, who brought Mu Xian to the Ancient Hua Sect, said nothing.

She left the wood there and secretly pulled the cart down the mountain by herself.

Ningguang felt like someone was watching her from behind, and this gaze made her lower her head and quicken her pace.

The road back to Liyue Harbor was excessively rugged, and Ningguang struggled to pull the unsuitable cart.

Ningguang never imagined this stretch of road would be so long, so long that Ningguang felt a little uncomfortable.

I feel so bad that I want to say something to the person next to me...

But... there was no one left beside him.

Not now, and not for any period of time afterward...

Ningguang felt as if she had returned to the time when Xiaoyunduo died, and that she was always alone in the alley.

That night, a heavy rain fell, and Ningguang huddled under the car, her whole body tucked in.

She wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of heavy rain; she always managed to sleep soundly each time.

But for some reason, Ningguang felt very cold as she watched the rain dripping down the cracks in the wooden frame of the car.

So cold that Ningguang hugged her legs, so cold that she protected the picture in her chest.

Before she knew it, Ningguang had a dream.

In my dream, I heard footsteps, and a familiar figure leaned against me, their arms embracing me completely.

It was a very warm dream, and also a very warm reality.

When Ningguang woke up the next day, she saw a familiar person: Mu Xian.

Her younger brother had his eyes closed, and raindrops dripped down his golden hair.

The clean clothes I wore before got completely soaked by the rain.

He seemed to sense that Ningguang had woken up.

He opened his eyes and smiled at Ningguang.

"Sister, you forgot to take me with you when you left."

"But don't worry, I know how I got back on my own."

After saying this, he sneezed, and the sneeze made Ningguang want to hug Mu Xian.

She never imagined that Mu Xian would secretly run back alone.

I never thought I would not want him to leave like this.

but...

"do you know?"

Ningguang turned her head away, not daring to look Mu Xian in the eye.

She didn't want to say these things to Mu Xian either.

But how can I accept that I spent Mora to send him to the Ancient Huapai if he doesn't even tell me when he's being bullied?

She knew that if she didn't say those words, he would come back to her no matter what.

So rather than saying he was sent to the Ancient Flower Sect, it would be more accurate to say...

"You're a good...partner..."

Ningguang hesitated for a long time before finally referring to her family as her partners.

"But, but someone offered a very good price..."

"You should be considered... sold off by me, right?"

Ningguang didn't know how she came up with those words back then.

She kept her eyes fixed on Mu Xian's expression.

She looked at Mu Xian's expression and saw the upturned corners of the boy's mouth, who was holding her, slowly disappear.

The hand holding Ningguang was released.

Mu Xian didn't make a scene as Ning Guang had imagined, nor did he cry and hug Ning Guang, saying he couldn't live without her.

"I see."

This is the second to last sentence Mu Xian said to Ning Guang.

There's one last sentence.

It was when the people from the Guhua Sect led Mu Xian to the foot of the mountain gate that he turned to look at Ning Guang and said that.

"So to you... I've always been a partner?"

Hearing this, Ningguang suddenly felt a little flustered.

In a panic, she opened her mouth as if to deny it, but nothing came out.

She knew she couldn't say anything now; she knew she had to suppress the urge to rush over and snatch Mu Xian back...

So she just stood there with her head down, silent as a piece of wood.

This is the only expression she can make now. She's afraid to speak and let Mu Xian hear the tremor in her voice, afraid that Mu Xian will see her current expression.
