Nervous, Mu Lingbing

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and there was not a cloud in sight, just like the mood of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others—radiant and clear. Ever since they learned about Mu Lingbing's intentions, their worries had completely dissipated. However, Situ Yan's mood remained somewhat tense and complicated.

After the brief encounter when they brought Mu Lingbing and the others back and settled them in, Situ Yan hadn't seen Mu Lingbing again. Bai Li Hongzhuang had gone to fetch Situ Yan after greeting Mu Lingbing, and inside the room, Mu Lingbing also seemed somewhat nervous.

Until now, she had never seen her own father. It was natural for anyone to feel nervous when meeting their father for the first time.

Sensing Mu Lingbing's tension, Lan Yunxiao immediately held her hand, his voice gentle yet full of strength. "Bing'er, your father is a good person. You don't need to worry."

From the words of Bai Li Hongzhuang and Di Beichen, they had gained quite an understanding of Situ Yan. Not only was Situ Yan exceptionally talented, but he was also a man of integrity. Over the years, Situ Yan had been searching for Mu Jinse, and this alone showed his deep affection and sincerity.

After learning about Mu Lingbing's true identity, Situ Yan not only went to inquire with Yue Siqing but also specifically went to save them. This showed just how much he cared for Mu Lingbing.

He believed that the bond of blood was the most precious emotion in the world. Even though they had never met, there would still be an indescribable feeling when they finally met.

Mu Lingbing looked up at Lan Yunxiao, who had always been her pillar of support. In truth, she wasn't worried, just a little nervous, thinking about what to say when they met later.

At that moment, footsteps approached and eventually stopped outside the door. Mu Lingbing immediately sat up straight, her gaze fixed on the entrance.

Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at Situ Yan beside her, and her clear eyes sparkled with a hint of laughter. "Grandfather, let's go inside."

Situ Yan nodded slightly and then opened the door. As Situ Yan walked into the room, both Mu Lingbing and Situ Yan's gazes fell upon each other.

Situ Yan's eyes trembled with light. He had seen Mu Lingbing before, aside from that one time when they brought her and the others to safety, but he had not seen her again. Now, seeing Mu Lingbing awake, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity in her features.

He could see traces of Mu Jinse in Mu Lingbing, and at the same time, he could vaguely see some resemblance to himself.

Although Bai Li Hongzhuang also bore some resemblance to Mu Lingbing, there were still many aspects that resembled Lan Yunxiao.

The Mu Lingbing before him was unmistakably the combination of himself and Mu Jinse!

An uncontrollable excitement surged in Situ Yan's heart. His hands trembled involuntarily, and a mix of excitement and exhilaration roared within his chest, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

Mu Lingbing had speculated about Situ Yan's appearance before, but when she actually saw him, she discovered that she shared many similarities with him. His elegant demeanor, his calm and resolute nature, his serene composure—it was a perfect match standing beside her master.

No, they were destined to be together.

She had always thought of herself as an orphan, saved and raised by her master. In her heart, she had regarded her master as her mother, but she had always kept those thoughts to herself, never daring to speak them out loud.
