"Okay, you can leave first." The middle-aged man turned around and waved at Lan Ying.
The blue shadow bowed and saluted, then gradually disappeared from sight.
After the blue shadow left, the middle-aged man turned around and jumped off the cliff.
In the middle of the cliff, there is a naturally formed cave, with many magical flowers and herbs planted in it, and the spiritual energy is very abundant.
There is also a formation set up at the entrance of the cave, making it impossible for ordinary people to break in.
"Daddy, you're here." Lingxin heard the noise and immediately looked towards the cave entrance.
The person who came was none other than the middle-aged man who had just summoned Lan Ying, Ling Xin's father, the second son of the head of the Ling family, Ling Yuan.
"Xin'er, how do you feel?" Upon seeing his daughter, Lingyuan quickened his pace, but before he took two steps towards Lingxin, Lingxin immediately stepped back in fear.
"No, no, don't come over here." He stretched out his arms to block himself, looking scared.
"Xin'er, don't be afraid. Daddy won't come near you, and Daddy won't go over." Seeing Lingxin like this, Lingyuan looked sad. Ever since she was brought back from the Jun family, she had developed such a strange symptom. Whenever a man came close to her, her whole body would ache, and she would feel worse than death.
The pharmacist and alchemist of the Ling family thought of many treatment methods and tried all kinds of detoxification pills, but they had no effect at all.
He had no choice but to invite the culprit.
"Xin'er, don't worry. Daddy just wants to tell you that he has found the woman who poisoned you. He will catch her and help you get rid of the poison soon. Don't worry too much."
Ling Xin was furious when she heard about Xia Ling'er. That damn bitch had caused her to return to the Ling family before she even saw the Demon Lord.
"Daddy, you must help your daughter kill her and make her die a miserable death! And her son, you must kill them all to vent your anger." When Ling Xin thought of the mother and son, her teeth itched with hatred and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Seeing his daughter like this, Ling Yuan felt very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the strange poison in her body that couldn't be cured, he would have torn the two of them into pieces.
"Xin'er, don't worry. It's easy to kill them. The most important thing right now is to remove the poison from your body. When you recover, you can torture them in any way you want. Don't get angry and make me sad."
"Dad, I heard from my mom that you caught that little bastard, right?"
"Xin'er, you can't do anything rash. Whatever you want to do, you have to wait until your body recovers." Lingxin grew up under the care of Lingyuan, and he knew his daughter's temper very well.
She had been spoiled since she was little, and had never suffered any injustice. This time, she fell into the hands of the mother and son, and the hatred in her heart was very strong.
"Daddy, Xin'er doesn't want to do anything. I just want to go see that little beast." As he spoke, his eyes were full of ferocity, as if filled with poison.
"Xin'er, or..." Lingyuan wanted to refuse Lingxin's request, but...
"Dad... I just want to go and take a look. And since you have caught that little bastard, you must have seen his abilities. Maybe that little bastard has the antidote on him. Dad, please agree. Dad, you love me the most, Dad~"
The child was indeed extraordinary, just as Lingxin had said. When I heard the subordinates report the details of Lingxin's struggle with the mother and child, they also seemed to have said that the child was carrying a treasure.
If this is the case, then carrying the antidote with you is not completely impossible.
Besides, Xin'er couldn't get rid of the opposite sex at all, even the child was the same. And with me following her, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal if she took a look.
After much deliberation, Lingyuan finally agreed.
After all, this is his precious daughter whom he has spoiled since she was a child.
She is in this state now. If you don't give in to her, she will be very upset.
"Forget it, then just come with your father to take a look. But we have to make it clear in advance, it's just a look, and you can't have any other bad thoughts. After all, we still need his mother to detoxify you. Got it?" Lingyuan reminded her again and again, perhaps because he knew his daughter's viciousness too well.
When Ling Xin heard that there was a way, she immediately put on a well-behaved look and said coquettishly, "Daughter knows, Daddy, don't worry."
"Lan Ying greets the master." Lan Ying was worried that something unexpected might happen to Xia Junyu, so he personally watched over him. He also wanted to observe the child's abilities from a close distance.
But I didn’t expect that Lingyuan would bring Lingxin with him.
Lan Ying is Lingyuan's most trusted subordinate, so he is also aware of Lingxin's physical condition.
"Blue Shadow has met the young lady."
"Except Ying'er, everyone else please leave." Lingyuan said.
Lingyuan took a few steps forward and walked to the door of the cell where Xia Junyu was imprisoned.
A small child, lying on the wooden bed with a calm expression, his face was calm, not panic, nor fear, not even anger. This was the last expression of Xia Junyu before he was knocked unconscious.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of parents can raise a child like this.
Although she is so young, she has a very mature mentality. She is not afraid of danger and remains calm, as if she doesn't care about anything.
"When will you wake up?"
"The dose of ** is very high. I guess I'll have to sleep for a day or two." Lan Ying replied expressionlessly.
At that time, no one expected that this child would have such a high level of cultivation. The besiegers panicked and accidentally put too much. This was not their fault, because the scene at that time should have been quite tragic. After all, the shopkeeper was injured beyond recognition.
"So he is now completely unconscious and at the mercy of others?" Ling Xin spoke after hearing this. There was some deliberately hidden joy in her tone, and there was a strong sense of mockery in her eyes as she looked at Xia Junyu.
"You could say that."
"You must not be careless and keep a close watch on it."
"I understand."
"Okay, Xin'er, we've seen enough, let's go. The tonic soup your mother made for you should be ready, and you should go back, lest your mother gets worried if she can't find you later."
Just then, a fat man ran in hurriedly.
Seeing this, Lingyuan frowned unhappily, "Butler Zhong, why are you so panicked?"
"Second Master, the old man is back." Butler Zhong was a little out of breath because he ran too fast.
"Grandpa?" Ling Xin raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then said to Ling Yuan: "Dad, there must be something big when Grandpa comes back, you should go and see him quickly."
The old man has been making trouble for years because his little daughter is disobedient.
"Where is the old man now?"
"In reply to the second master, after the old man came back, he was in a bad mood and was not at home. He finally came back once, so he must have something important to do. The master's yard."
"What! Went to the boss' place?"
"Yes, that's why I came here quickly to report." After all, the affairs of the mansion have been managed by the second master over the years, and the eldest master no longer has any real power due to his health.
The servants also flattered the superiors and bullied the inferiors, all siding with the Second Master. They all thought that the position of the next head of the family would definitely belong to the Second Master.
Therefore, whenever there is any disturbance in the first house, they will inform the second master immediately.
When Ling Yuan heard that the old man had gone to the eldest wife's house, he was a little uneasy. After all, the seal of the head of the family was still in the hands of the old man, and the old man always favored the eldest wife. Although he had made preparations outside, he could not figure out the old man's thoughts.
"Daddy, please go over quickly. Your daughter can go back by herself." Lingxin said obediently.
Lingyuan was actually still a little worried about his daughter.
"According to the servants' report, when the old man came back, he looked serious and hurried, as if he was in a hurry."
After the butler said this, Lingyuan's hesitation was immediately wiped away.
"Xin'er, go back to your mother and don't run around. Daddy will go over to check on you."
After saying that, he hurriedly left with the butler.
Seeing her father leaving, Ling Xin's mouth gradually rose, forming a bloodthirsty arc. Then she slowly turned around and walked step by step towards the cell where Xia Junyu was imprisoned.
"Miss, the master wants you to go back." Lan Ying said immediately after seeing this. However, because he knew Ling Xin's physical condition, Lan Ying did not step forward.
Lingxin glanced at Lanying with slight displeasure, ignored his words, and continued walking towards the cell.
Finally, he stood in front of the cell door.
"Open it for me."
"Miss, the master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the cell without his permission. Please forgive me."
Lingxin sneered, slowly turned around, and stared straight at Lanying.
Upon seeing this, Lan Ying immediately lowered his head and nodded, avoiding Ling Xin's anxious gaze.
"Please forgive me, young lady."
"Lan Ying, I just want to see if this kid has the antidote. I don't want to do anything to him. You know my current physical condition. If you don't believe me, then open the cell door and go in. I'll watch from the side. I just want you to help me find the antidote on him. I just want to get rid of this pain as soon as possible, please!"
Ling Xin said this sincerely, with a hint of pleading in her tone. Besides, she was telling the truth, and she was a young lady, half a master, and it was not easy to offend her.
"In that case, I'll do as you said, young lady. I'll go in and take over. And please step back and wait for a moment." Because they couldn't get too close, Ling Xin didn't delay and stepped back.
Lan Ying stepped forward, opened the cell door, and was about to enter when Ling Xin suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lan Ying panicked and forgot about Ling Xin's physical condition. He ran towards Ling Er's position, walked to Ling Xin, and asked hurriedly, "Miss, Miss? What's wrong with you?"
But the person lying on the ground didn't move or respond. Suddenly, Lan Ying realized something and reached out to pull the person up.
The moment he touched her, the 'lady' on the ground turned into a stone.
"Illusion! Not good!"
Lan Ying turned around and looked towards the cell. It was empty. Xia Junyu, who was originally lying on the bed, was gone.
"Damn it, I got fooled!" Lan Ying realized that this was the young lady's plan. She had planned to take Xia Junyu away since she came in. Otherwise, why would she carry the magic spell with her
"Someone come here." Two men in black appeared out of nowhere in front of Lan Ying.
"Investigate the young lady's whereabouts immediately and bring back the missing prisoner."
"Yes, sir."
Lan Ying was having a headache at the moment. With the lady's temper, she might do something outrageous. What if she killed the criminal? How could she explain this to her master
The young lady is the master's own flesh and blood, and she is also ill. No matter how angry the master is, he will not do anything to her. But it is hard to say for the servants...
At the foot of the mountain behind the Ling family, Ling Xin swung the whip hard and threw Xia Junyu, who was tied to the other end of the whip, hard against the mountain wall.
Looking at the little man who hit the mountain wall and bounced back and fell to the ground, Lingxin smiled.
"Hehe, weren't you so arrogant before? Now you're not arrogant anymore? You're lying in front of me like a dead dog, hahahaha. You little bastard, you never thought there would be such a day. Now you're in my hands, haha, you're in trouble."
Because she couldn't get close to the opposite sex, she could only tie Xia Junyu up with a whip and then pull him out. She knew that after Lan Ying found out, he would definitely send shadow guards to search. So what? As smart as she was, wouldn't she be able to come up with a solution
The entire Ling family knew that the back mountain was a forbidden area. No matter how hard they tried, they would never have thought that she would bring this little beast here.
It is said that there is a powerful formation guarding the back mountain, and anyone who enters without permission will be killed. Therefore, she does not need to do anything, just throw this little beast into the forbidden area, and he will be dead. When her father asks about it, she can also say that he woke up on his own and then escaped to the back mountain.
Daddy has doted on me the most since I was a child, so he certainly wouldn’t care too much about it.
She felt extremely happy at the thought that the little beast was about to die.
That damn bitch loved her son the most. If she knew that her precious son was dead and his body was mutilated, she would be ten thousand times more painful than if she had her own illness.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Ha ha ha ha...
Ling Xin was so preoccupied with her own thoughts that she didn't notice that Xia Junyu, who was originally unconscious, gradually opened his eyes.
After Xia Junyu saw Ling Xin, he suddenly understood.
Although he had woken up, the effects of the drug had not yet fully worn off, so he was unable to mobilize his spiritual power.
Ling Xin came back to his senses and focused on Xia Junyu again. He wanted to beat him a few more times, but suddenly found that Xia Junyu had woken up. He didn't know when he had untied the whip on him and moved to the edge of the forbidden area.
Ling Xin was startled, worried that the little beast would run away, so she swung the whip at him.
When Xia Junyu saw Ling Xin launching an attack, he dodged and fell into the forbidden area and disappeared.
Ling Xin retracted the whip, walked forward and took a look. The forbidden area was all white and nothing could be seen clearly.
But she heard from her father that the forbidden area in the back mountain could not be entered without the old man's token. Otherwise, he would kill without mercy.
Now, she didn't have to lie to her father, because it was indeed the little bastard who ran in by himself.
Ha ha ha ha...
Now, she just had to wait for the woman to come. After her father tricked the woman into detoxifying him, she would tell her in person how her beloved son died without a complete body.
Thinking of this, Lingxin laughed out loud towards the sky, and then left the back mountain.
"The sound of the piano is like the rippling water, and the tenderness is deep in my heart. The deep affection is deep in my heart. I know your heart but I can't see you."
The woman in white played the piano and recited in a low voice, her pretty face full of sadness, which looked extremely desolate against the backdrop of the green mountains and clear waters.
A breeze blew past, ruffling her hair, but she seemed unconscious and continued to pluck the strings of the zither.
A red cloak was draped over her shoulders. "Miss, the weather is getting cold, and you are worried about your health." An old lady said with a worried look on her face. She looked at the woman affectionately, full of helplessness and heartache.
"I've been in this place for so long that I almost forgot what year it is today. Yes, I almost forgot myself."
"Miss, don't be so sad. No matter what, you have to take care of yourself. Only when you are alive can you have hope. Only then can you do what you want to do and see the people you want to see." She had watched the young lady grow up since she was a child and treated her as her own flesh and blood. How could she not understand the young lady's thoughts
Sure enough, this sentence is useful for women.
"I want to meet someone who..."
