The Palace Master felt very distressed when he saw Mo Lingling, whose face was pale and whose body was weak.

"Mr. Xie, how is Lingling's health?"

"In reply to the Palace Master, the Young Palace Master is still very weak and needs to be taken good care of. And you must remember that you cannot use your spiritual power within half a month, otherwise, her spiritual sea will be damaged. In mild cases, it will affect her future cultivation, and in severe cases, her spiritual sea will dry up and she will stop practicing there for the rest of her life." Old Xie is one of the pharmacists of Lingxi Palace and is trusted by the Palace Master.

"How could it turn out like this, Lingling? You were too careless this time."

Upon hearing this, Mo Lingling struggled to sit up and looked like she was about to get out of bed.

"Young Palace Master, you can't do that. Your current body is only suitable for bed rest and recuperation. You must also calm down and not get angry, otherwise it will be very bad for your recovery. You must pay attention."

"You little girl, you still don't obey even in this situation, it really makes the teacher worried."

"Master, please don't be angry. Lingling just wants to apologize to you. It was Lingling's carelessness that caused this situation. You made you worry. It's Lingling who is unfilial. Please punish me." Her weak appearance and breathless words were heartbreaking. How could the Palace Master have the heart to blame her in this state

"Forget it, just take a good rest. As for the punishment, we will talk about it after you are well again. The most important thing for you now is to listen to the doctor and recover well. You are still young, you must not lose sight of the big picture and damage your foundation. The future of Lingxi Palace still depends on young people like you."

"Lingling understands. Please rest assured, Master. Lingling will be obedient and won't make you worry anymore."

"That's good. I won't disturb you to rest. Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again in a few days."

"Farewell, Master."

The Palace Master stood up, followed by Old Xie, and they walked out of the room one after the other.

Along the way, Mr. Xie followed the Palace Master the whole time, as if he had something on his mind, and was hesitant to speak. In the end, he was noticed by the Palace Master.

"Mr. Xie, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything hidden between us? Is Lingling's condition not good? Just say whatever you want to say. I can bear it."

"No, no, no, no, everything I said about Young Palace Master is true, but..."

"Just what? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't follow their lead and try to beat around the bush with me. It's really annoying."

"I feel like something is wrong with Young Palace Master's condition. There is indeed some Lingku Grass in her body, but it is very light. Logically speaking, with such a light amount and Young Palace Master's cultivation level, her spiritual power should not be damaged so seriously. But if it is not Lingku Grass, then what is the reason? Could it be that Young Palace Master is hiding something... Ahem, that subordinate did not mean that. Maybe my medical skills are not good enough and I made a mistake in the diagnosis."

This old man has learned to laugh it off now. Mr. Xie is well-known for his strictness in the pharmacist world. If he is not 99% sure, he will never say it.

Is it possible that the diagnosis was wrong

"Okay, you can go down first. You still need to take care of Lingling. No matter what, let her recover first. As for the rest, I will send someone to investigate."

"Don't worry, Palace Master. I will take my leave."

In fact, he had always felt that something was wrong with this incident. Lingling was usually very smart, how could she make such a mistake? Moreover, she had come into contact with all those spiritual herbs. Because she had always wanted to become an alchemist, but because of her mental strength, she had never succeeded.

He remembered that for a period of time, Lingling spent day and night to familiarize herself with identifying medicinal materials in order to become an alchemist, memorizing the characteristics, properties, pharmacology and efficacy of various medicinal materials, as well as the precautions for picking. Even if she did not become an alchemist in the end, she had studied this knowledge seriously and should not make such a low-level mistake.

It seems that he still needs to investigate this matter carefully.

After returning, he immediately summoned Jianxin and carefully asked him about the whole process of Jianxin picking up Mo Lingling. Jianxin naturally reported the incident to the Palace Master word for word.

"Did he deliberately lead you away? And then he made a scene in Lingling's bedroom, but he didn't take anything away, and he didn't hurt anyone?"

"Yes, my Lord."

This thief is quite strange. She went through so much trouble without any purpose. No, could she be looking for something? In the end, she didn't find it, or she found it but couldn't take it away, so she returned empty-handed.

The reason why he wanted to lure Kenshin away showed that his power was not great and he was unwilling to confront Kenshin head-on, so he had to settle for the second best and lure Kenshin away directly for safety.

So the question is, what exactly is this thief looking for

I don’t know why, but I always feel that this incident is closely related to Lingling’s injury this time.

At this moment, a scary man suddenly came in to report that the head of the Mo family, Mo Yuanming, wanted to see him.

Well, just when I was worried about not being able to find a breakthrough, this person just came to me.

"Let Master Mo come in."

After a while, a short, dark-skinned middle-aged man walked in. He was wearing a brown robe and cloud boots, and he looked very smart.

As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to the Palace Master Lingxi with his hands clasped and a smile on his face. "Palace Master, please forgive me. I, Old Mo, am sorry to bother you again."

"Master Mo, you are too polite. I feel honored that a distinguished guest like you can come to the gate of my Lingxi Palace. How can I say that I am disturbing you. Someone, please bring some tea to Master Mo." After he finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Mo Yuanming, indicating that he should sit down aside.

Mo Yuanming was smiling from beginning to end, looking very kind. When the maid brought the tea, he took a sip and said, "I heard that Lingling has caused trouble for the Palace Master again, so I came to apologize on her behalf. The girl is young and naive, and I hope the Palace Master can be more tolerant."

"No way. Since I have accepted Lingling as my apprentice, I should take care of her affairs. This time, this girl left the island without permission and came back injured. As her master, I am very distressed."

"What, Lingling is injured?" Mo Yuanming put down the teacup in his hand and stood up suddenly, with a surprised expression, looking as if he had no idea.

"Why, didn't Master Ling tell the Patriarch about this? Master Ling took Lingling out of the island this time. I thought Patriarch Mo knew about it."

At this moment, Mo Yuanming's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Oh, Palace Master, you are wronging me. You know that Mo Feng has feelings for Lingling. Even if Lingling wants the moon in the sky, Mo Feng might find a way to pick it, let alone leave the island. I have always doted on Mo Feng, and that kid has become a little ignorant of the rules. I had no idea that he secretly took Lingling out of the island this time. If I had known anything in advance, I would not have let that kid do this. This has caused Lingling to be injured. It's a sin, it's really a sin. Palace Master, don't worry, I will teach that little bastard a lesson when I go back."

Although Mo Lingling is his adopted daughter, she is also the first disciple of Lingxi Palace. With this status, if she makes a mistake, he has to apologize. If something happens, he has to come to comfort her because of the status of Lingxi Palace. If the crime is related to Mo Feng, he still has to apologize. It is difficult to be a foster father.

"Young people can understand. I don't mean to blame them. I just want to know what happened during their trip. Lingling was injured after all, so there must be an explanation."

"What the Palace Master said is true. Don't worry, I will investigate the whole story of this matter. And that little bastard Mo Feng, although the Palace Master is generous and doesn't bother with him, I, Old Mo, can't let him off the hook. He secretly took Lingling out of the island and failed to fulfill his duty as a guard. I have to punish him. Don't worry, Palace Master, I will give you an explanation."

"Just ask clearly. I just don't want Lingling to be hurt so unclearly. After all, she is my disciple. If she is really bullied outside, I will not sit idly by. No matter what, I can't humiliate the reputation of my Lingxi Palace."

"Palace Master, don't worry about this. If Lingling is really bullied outside, my Mo family will be the first to be hurt. By the way, Palace Master, how is Lingling's injury? Is it serious? If you need any medicine or a doctor, Palace Master, just ask. My Mo family will do it even if it means going through fire and water."

"Old Xie has already seen it. It needs to be taken care of. There is no need for medicinal herbs. Lingxi Palace has them. It just needs to be rested and not disturbed. However, if Patriarch Mo, as Lingling's adoptive father, wants to go and see it..."

"No, no, no, since she needs to rest, I will come back another day. Lingling's health is important. As long as the girl is fine, I, as her godfather, will be at ease. In this case, I will take my leave first."

"In that case, I will not keep you here any longer. Master Mo, take care."

Mo Yuanming smiled and nodded, then left.

After obtaining various precious spiritual medicines and herbs, Mo Feng immediately rushed to Lingxi Palace. Because he was too anxious, he did not notice that there was a paper crane attached to his body.

After setting the fire, Ling'er left the yard. Since Zixi had been rescued, it was meaningless for her to stay here any longer. Sensing the location of the paper crane, Ling'er immediately chased after it.

That's right, the paper crane was left there by Ling'er on purpose, just to guide her. She was not familiar with this place, and there were traps and formations everywhere. If she didn't have a guide, it would be extremely difficult for her to find Lingxi Palace.

Fortunately, God blesses us and everything seems to be going smoothly so far.

The next step is to find the location where Emperor Shi Tian’s body and soul are hiding.

Mo Feng moved quickly and arrived at Lingxi Palace almost at full speed.

There were no mechanical devices or formations in Lingxi Palace, but when Ling'er saw it, for some reason she always felt that the building in front of her was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

It was strange. She had never been to Dream Island, so why did she feel so familiar with Lingxi Palace

The gate of Lingxi Palace is magnificent. In addition to the two big words "Lingxi" on the top, there are two sentences written on each side: "Be contented with what you do and be unrestrained and uninhibited." Just looking at these two sentences, it is not difficult to see that the Palace Master of Lingxi Palace is a reasonable and open-minded person. But I really don't know how such a person would accept Mo Lingling, who is narrow-minded, proud and complacent, and has flawed character and casually steals other people's husbands, as his apprentice.

As the ancients said, "If a child is not well educated, it is the fault of the father; if a child is not strict, it is the laziness of the teacher." It is not known whether the problem with Mo Lingling lies with her father or her teacher.

After arriving at the gate of Lingxi Palace, he did not see any guards. He only saw Mo Feng dismount immediately, then kneeled down in front of the palace gate and said, "Mo Feng of the Mo family wishes to see the Palace Master, and I hope the Lord of the Gate will report back."

Lord Door God? What the hell is this? It seems that here, let alone people, she can't even see a ghost.

After Mo Feng finished speaking, the pattern of the strange beast carved on the gate actually emitted light and then slowly appeared.

Oh my god, the mural came alive!

He had a dog's head, a human body, a snake's tail, and horse's hooves. He looked like a monster. He was holding a staff that was almost as tall as him. He looked ferocious and scary.

"Mo Feng greets the Lord of the Gate God. Please inform the Lord of the Gate God that Mo Feng from the Mo family has come to apologize."

So this is the door god, a god that really lives on the door. Although she couldn't tell the origin of this door god, the moment he appeared, the air became thinner, and his strength was evident.

No wonder Mo Lingling is so conceited, it turns out that she has such a big tree to lean on. Even a gatekeeper is so powerful, I think this Lingxi Palace must be full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

"Your father has been here, and he will come to talk to you. The Palace Master is busy and cannot see guests, Young Master Mo, please go back."

"But..." Mo Feng wanted to say something, but stopped in time. The Door God was always strict and strict, and would never show mercy. Even if he said something, the Door God would not report it to him. If he said more, he might anger him and make himself unhappy.

"Mo Feng is worried about the health of the Young Palace Master, so he brought some top-quality spiritual medicines and herbs. I hope that Master Gate God will pass them on to him." With a thought, all the medicines in the space bag were placed in front of him.

The door god tilted his head slightly, took a quick look to make sure there was nothing unusual, then gently raised the staff in his hand. The moment it landed, a five-star magic circle appeared under those things, and then disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that the things were accepted, Mo Feng looked reluctantly in the direction of Mo Lingling's room and left reluctantly.

After Mo Feng left, the door god gradually became transparent, and then the strange beast on the mural appeared again.

Fortunately, she followed Mo Feng here, otherwise she would have probably fought with the door god by now.

Who would have thought that the guardian of Lingxi Palace was a mural.

But now a thorny problem arises. With this door god here, how can she sneak into Lingxi Palace quietly

Regardless of whether she can win or not, once they fight, the people in Lingxi Palace will definitely notice it. What should she do

There was no other way, she could only look around to see if there were any loopholes around Lingxi Palace that would allow her to sneak in secretly. Alas, the hope of going through the main gate was too slim.

As a result, I circled Lingxi Palace several times, my legs almost broke, but I didn't see any breakthrough. Not to mention a dog hole or something, I couldn't even find a mouse hole. It was like a copper coin iron wall. If I didn't go through the main gate, I'm afraid not even a fly could fly in. What should I do

Just when Ling'er was at a loss and feeling distressed, suddenly a ray of light came from a corner of the wall.

Hey, what is that

Ling'er immediately stepped forward quietly and observed from the dark.

The light gradually grew larger and turned into a door, and then a familiar figure walked out.

"That little maid!"

That’s right, this person is Chunying who came out to help Mo Lingling.

"This is a space scroll teleportation array." How could a little maid have such a treasure? It's incredible. But it seems that this space scroll is for teleportation to a specific location, so it is not very valuable. Could it be that her master specially asked someone to refine it for her to go out and do things.

Oh, this Mo Lingling is really thoughtful. It seems that she has done a lot of shameful things behind everyone's back. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so guilty and open up a separate way to conceal her identity. This is good, it just makes it easier for her to do things.

Chunying was wearing a pink shawl and a huge hat, so it was difficult to see her face clearly. She recognized her the moment she came out of the door.

After appearing in the corner, he looked around carefully to make sure there was no one around, then took out an object like a pebble and drew a pattern on the wall.

After a moment, a hole really appeared in the wall, and Chunying walked in immediately.

But she was still a step too slow. Before she could leave, she was knocked unconscious by Ling'er.
