Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 951

Remembering the Illusion

Mu Yu cast an illusion on Tian Ran, taking her down a trip on memory lane, starting from the time she shielded Feng Haochen during the fight against Gui Xuanyue.

“You disregarded your own safety for my shifu, your father. You can forget me, but how can you forget him?

“Release me. I would never do such a thing.”

“You’ve forgotten? I’m not convinced.”

Mu Yu fast forwarded to Cheng Yan’s weddings, which was also when Tian Ran helped Mu Yu get over Lan Ling’er despite being clueless about romance.

“Have you forgotten what you told me?”

“I would never say those things!”

Mu Yu fast forwarded to when the two left Mount Dustfallen, where she finally gave her father a tearful hug and fought off the urge to address him as her father.

“You spent a year with your father, yet you were too scared to call him ‘Father’, yet you’ve now forgotten about him?”

Tian Ran felt something inside her crack.

“I will make you remember everything. You’re not emotionless. You should be a pure girl, not an emotionless sack of flesh.”

Mu Yu moved onto when they met again at Eight Herbs Village, where Tian Ran publicly professed her love for Mu Yu.

“I like Brother Mu Yu? Brother Mu Yu…” Tian Ran mumbled, starting to show emotions in her eyes.

Seeing hope, Mu Yu moved them, except they were not just in the audience this time. This time, the two of them re-enacted the scene.

“Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten when you pushed me up against the tree this same way, telling me this is how I should confess to Lan Ling’er?” Mu Yu asked in a tender voice.

“Kabedon…”

“Exactly. You told me this is your ace.” Resisting the urge to quaver, Mu Yu added, “I later discovered that I actually liked you.”

“You like me?”

“You told me you have to pay attention to their eyes when you pull it off. You need to give off the vibe of a ruffian and affection that’s easy to pick up, infecting them with an urge to have you,” Mu Yu recounted with a smile.

Though Mu Yu could not look gruff, he arguably had more affection than ever. He never wanted to possess Tian Ran but to protect her, her smile and innocence. He did not want to see her frown or cry.

“Remember it.”

Mu Yu reached out to caress Tian Ran’s face. Alas, Jiang Shanqiu shattered the illusion and stung Mu Yu on the shoulder.

“I was so close!” Mu Yu grouched, livid he came so close to awaking Tian Ran’s emotions.
