Mu Tingshen had actually stopped being angry on the way back. Having his sister standing there safe and sound was a blessing from heaven for the Mu family. However, the image of Shen Xingling’s match today kept playing in his mind; if Mu Nanzhi were to face such a formidable opponent, what would happen? He knew exactly what his sister was capable of.
Mu Nanzhi met Mu Tingshen’s gaze and felt a tremor of fear, immediately shifting her eyes to Shen Xingling. She figured that since her eldest brother had come to find his wife today, their relationship must be quite deep.
Shen Xingling noticed Mu Nanzhi’s pleading look, but she thought to herself, *Youzi, it’s not that I don’t want to save you, but I can barely save myself right now.*
