CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 274: MO LIU’S PERSUASION (PART 1)

"Everything has a cause and an effect." Feng Wuya said with a bitter smile, "Mo Liu, do you know? If I don’t give myself an outcome, I can’t climb out of this abyss!"

"But young master, if you give yourself this outcome, can you really climb out of the abyss?" Mo Liu countered.

Feng Wuya did not answer.

In his heart, he understood that killing Duan Nian might be the outcome he desired, but if, by killing Duan Nian, he causes those he cares about, and who care about him, to distance themselves from him, that is not the outcome he wanted.

If he had not been infatuated with warmth, had not been deeply emotional, how could today’s situation have occurred?

In the end, all of these were his own doing.

"Young master, can you not let go of hatred?" Mo Liu urged, "Just for the sake of the young lady and the young master!"

He truly did not want to see Feng Wuya consumed by hatred like this.

Clearly such a passionate and righteous person, clearly so kindhearted, clearly cared deeply about everyone in Yongning Manor, why hold onto hatred so stubbornly, turning himself into an unjust person?

"No!" Feng Wuya shouted angrily, "He killed my parents, I must avenge them!"

"Young master, can Feng Lao’s words really be trusted?" Mo Liu said, "The manor owner and the master were like brothers, inseparable since childhood. In their most difficult times, it was the manor owner who protected them. How could the manor owner kill them?"

"Feng Lao is my lifesaver!" Feng Wuya said grimly, "Without him, I would have perished in the fire long ago! How could I not believe his words?"

"But young master, Feng Lao’s words, you cannot fully trust them either!"

This was the first time Mo Liu contradicted Feng Wuya.

"He wouldn’t lie to me!" Feng Wuya retorted, "He raised me and taught me martial arts, why would he deceive me?"

"Young master, have you confirmed Feng Lao’s identity?" Mo Liu said, "Have you not thought, perhaps his appearance was part of a scheme?"

"Young master," Mo Liu looked at him, "do you really think the manor owner’s beloved was the master?"

"The manor owner and the master grew up together since childhood; moreover, he was two years older than the master, playing the role of an older brother taking good care of his younger sibling, what’s wrong with that?"

"If there really is something," Mo Liu whispered, "then you treating the young master so well, caring so much, isn’t that due to special feelings too?"

"Nonsense!" Feng Wuya immediately refuted, "Yunfei is Yunxia’s younger brother and also my junior brother. To me, he is both family and friend, as well as confidant. How could I possibly have other special feelings for him?"

"Exactly!" Mo Liu replied, "How can you be sure that the manor owner’s feelings for the master were not like yours for the young master?"

"I..."

Could it be, after all these years, had he guessed wrong?

Mo Liu sighed lightly, "Young master, some emotions aren’t that complicated; it’s just you thinking that way, so that’s what you believe!"

Actually, he had long wanted to persuade his master, but seeing him seemingly determined on revenge, he could only follow along.

He originally thought that his master truly hated Duan Nian, but after recent observation, Mo Liu felt he was wrong.

The master did not hate Duan Nian, he hated himself. He actually did not want to kill Duan Nian, he just wanted to fulfill his long-standing obsession.

"Young master, why not ask the manor owner about it? Perhaps things are not as you think?" Mo Liu asked, "Young master, do you genuinely care for the young lady?"

"Naturally!" When speaking about Duan Yunxia, the hesitation in Feng Wuya’s eyes instantly eased a bit, "She is my source of warmth!"
