Chapter 1404: Chapter 1391: The Past Ten Years Ago, Mu Fan’s Background_1 Chapter 1404: Chapter 1391: The Past Ten Years Ago, Mu Fan’s Background_1 “*Cough* *cough*.”

Mu Fan’s ears turned slightly red. He gave the lantern to Qing Yuan and turned to leave: “I’ll go get another one.”

“Senior Brother Mu, there’s no need. I have one here.”

Qing Yuan grabbed his sleeve, and with a flicker of his right hand, a lantern appeared.

“How do you have a lantern?”

Looking at the two identical lanterns, Mu Fan felt a bewildered for a moment.’
“Just now, someone mistook me for a young girl.”

Qing Yuan joked with a smile, “He lifted my mask, realizing his mistake but not before giving me a lantern as a token of apology.”

“*Cough* *cough*.”

Mu Fan almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, unable to suppress his cough any longer.

“Senior Brother Mu, are you alright?”

Qing Yuan lifted his mask and took two steps forward to support him.

“I’m fine.”

Fortunately, Mu Fan was wearing a mask, so Qing Yuan couldn’t see his burning cheeks.

“Two lanterns, one for each of us. Let’s go and release them.”

Qing Yuan was beaming as he pulled Mu Fan toward the riverbank.

“Hmm.”

Mu Fan hummed lightly, his feelings mixed as he looked at Qing Yuan’s joyful smile.

“Senior Brother Mu, what do you wish for?”

Qing Yuan brought Mu Fan to the riverbank. Each of them held a lantern, lighting the candle and waiting for the right moment to release it.

Mu Fan’s mood dipped for a moment: “I wish that my parents’ spirits can rest in peace, knowing that I’m doing well and not to worry about me.”

“Your parents… have both passed away?”

Qing Yuan’s eyes flickered, revealing a trace of sympathy.

“Yes.”

Mu Fan’s eyes grew dim, “I’m an orphan, raised by Master.”

Qing Yuan showed concern: “Do you still remember them?”

“I don’t remember.”

Mu Fan shook his head with a somber expression, “I was born posthumously. My mother had a difficult childbirth and passed away shortly after I was born.”

“Did your Master ever tell you?”

Qing Yuan’s breathing paused, his emotions slightly agitated, “How he found you?”

“No.”

Mu Fan didn’t catch the hidden meaning in his words and shook his head, “He simply said, I was destined to be his disciple, and the will of heaven could not be defied.”

“Humph, that old fart Elder Xiayao doesn’t even tell the truth to his own disciple.”

Little Kingfisher had been eavesdropping on their conversation from a tree on the riverbank, feeling suffocated by the secrets he’s learned, he couldn’t help but vent his frustrations.

“It’s clear that he deduced Mu Fan’s reincarnation location, found him before I did, and snatched him away. He hid him in the secret realm of the Tranquil Sect for six years.”

“If not for six-year-old Mu Fan sneaking out of the Secret Realm to play, the birds wouldn’t have discovered him, and we would still be in the dark, being deceived.”

“Perhaps it was fate after all.”

Qing Yuan’s eyes dimmed, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips, “After all the twists and turns, after rebirth, Mu Fan still became his disciple.”

“It’s because he hasn’t regained his memories from the past life.”

Little Kingfisher complained indignantly, “If one day he really remembers, he’ll surely resent him for hiding him away in the Secret Realm for six years without allowing anyone to see him.”

“If it wasn’t for us getting the news that Ancestor Kunlun personally went to the Tranquil Sect to demand people, and reached an agreement with him, who knows if he would still be hidden away, not allowed to come out.”

“He must have had his reservations.”

Qing Yuan sighed: “He’s afraid that Mu Fan would regain his memory and be bound by worldly desires as he was in his previous life, ultimately wasting his life.”

“No matter his concerns, he shouldn’t have hidden him away.”

Little Kingfisher was furious: “Such a small child, living alone in the Secret Realm for six years, it’s so pitiful, it makes one angry just thinking about it.”
