Seeing Ling'er swear to be safe and sound in the future, Hua Yingnian felt relieved.
As long as we unlock the protective formation and get the fire rock, the subsequent plans can be implemented smoothly.
"In that case, then go ahead." After saying that, Jun Qing stood up and walked out the door, "I'm tired and want to rest."
"Someone, come and take Master Jun to his room to rest."
Upon hearing this, the butler who had been waiting at the door immediately ran in, walked to Jun Qing, and said respectfully: "Master Jun, please follow me."
"Since Master Jun is going to rest, I will take my leave first." Seeing Jun Qing was about to leave, Ling'er immediately stood up and said goodbye to Hua Yingnian, wanting to leave quickly. However, she had just turned around and before she could take a step, she was stopped by Hua Yingnian.
"Miss Shangguan!"
“…” Calling me aunt
Ling'er was so angry that she spoke in a northeastern accent, but she thought so in her heart and still had a smile on her face.
"I wonder what Master Hua wants me to do? Just tell me what you want, and I will do it for you." After she finished speaking, she added a fawning smile, looking like a bootlicker.
A few days ago, Hua Yingnian thought that Miss Shangguan was aloof and smart. But her performance today gave him a different impression of her.
I didn't expect that she could easily get away with flattery.
Seeing her flattering appearance, Hua Yingnian's interest in exploring her suddenly diminished a lot.
"It's nothing, go ahead."
"Yes." I'm glad you're okay. If there's something wrong, I can't do it.
After leaving the Hua family, Ling'er went to the palace.
Ling'er was away recently, and all the affairs of Yunhai City were handled by Qinglan. Ling'er went back quietly without notifying anyone. When she walked to the main hall, she saw Qinglan's busy figure from afar.
On the imperial desk, various memorials were piled up like a mountain, and Qinglan's tall figure was almost swallowed up by the memorials. Only the top of his head could be vaguely seen. From childhood to adulthood, Qinglan was like a father and a brother to her.
"Brother Qinglan." Standing outside the hall, Ling'er called out affectionately.
Faintly, Qinglan seemed to hear that familiar voice, and without thinking, he looked straight in the direction where Ling'er was standing.
"Ling'er!"
The pretty little face stood quietly outside the palace, the sun bathed her body, giving her a layer of golden color. It was as if she came from the sky on golden clouds, so dazzling.
The corners of her mouth raised up deeply, smiling at Qinglan. Her feelings for Qinglan were so deep that it was difficult to express them in words.
"Brother Qinglan, I'm back."
Looking at Ling'er smiling so sweetly, Qinglan felt very satisfied, as if the whole world was in his eyes.
"I'm glad you're back safely." He smiled back, then put down the Wolf Howl in his hand, sorted out the memorials, stood up, and walked towards Ling'er.
"I have already investigated. The Demon King Bloodthirsty has not been in the Demon Realm recently. As for his whereabouts, no one has found them." As he spoke, Qinglan had already come to Ling'er's side.
Seeing Ling'er's inky eyes, Qinglan frowned slightly. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Ling'er's eyes. Those beautiful eyes turned back to their original purple color.
Her purple eyes were as dazzling as the most precious purple gemstones in the world, and they were also a symbol of her noble status.
"Ling'er's eyes are still the most beautiful." Looking directly into Ling'er's eyes, Qing Lan couldn't help but say. After saying this, he immediately continued the previous topic, "In addition, regarding the recent cases in various countries, I have also sent people to investigate, and the conclusion I came to is the same as yours."
"You also think that those strange cases are not likely to be committed by ordinary people?"
Qing Lan nodded slowly, "Yes, a crime scene like that is not something that ordinary people can do. The means are so cruel, very much like the style of the people in the demon world. But you have to know that there are exceptions to everything, so we cannot rule out other possibilities."
"I know this, but I'm just speculating and haven't come to a conclusion." After saying the serious thing, the serious atmosphere in the room immediately faded away. He shrugged lightly, smiled, and sat down on the chair.
"Thank you for making Brother Qinglan work hard again. Ling'er is really not a good sister." After saying that, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Qinglan. Only in front of Qinglan would she act like a naughty child and show her unruly appearance. In this situation, it was like a child in front of his mother. No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of your parents.
Looking at Ling'er's appearance, Qinglan smiled and shook his head, "You little girl, you are saying such polite words again. Since he is your brother, it is only natural for me to help you share your worries and troubles, so why do you say it is hard work?" (To be continued)
