In the end, Xuanyuan Muyan lost his patience and wanted to make a desperate effort to delay their pace as much as possible, which led to such a serious mistake.
As a result, not only was he unable to stop it, but he was also seriously injured.
Her long white hair was spread out on the dirty ground. Xuanyuan Muyan's expression showed an unconcealable pain and her delicate appearance made people feel pity. If the Xuanyuan disciples who had suffered at her hands saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
Luo Ling looked at the place where Yue Jian and others disappeared and was silent for a while.
"Tsk, has Ben figured it out?"
Luo Ling curled the corners of his mouth. Although Yue Jian's behavior was beyond Luo Ling's expectations, it was not difficult to understand if he thought about it carefully.
Iris's role is actually limited to this. The reason why she was able to join this team is because of her identity as the "Jingwei" god's favorite.
Although it is said to be a fair competition with Tumei, in fact, Iris has been excluded from the beginning.
And now, Iris' most irreplaceable role has been completed, and Luo Ling is well aware of Iris's own situation. She is indeed a bad teammate. Even if she brings her "past" with her, she will only be a burden.
In fact, we can't count on Miss Iris in this way. After all, she is a logistics staff and all her skills are focused on farming. Therefore, it is too difficult for her to go to the front line.
But... leaving Iris here to take the blame was really too much for Tsukimi and the others.
If Luo Ling and the Xuanyuan family had not already had some tacit understanding, and if Miss Iris had not stayed here, it would be hard to imagine how panicked she would be now.
... In fact, even with Luo Ling in front, Iris was still very frightened.
Moreover, Iris also found that she was unable to mention any information about Yuejian at all. She was so anxious that she couldn't even curse Yuejian.
At the same time, Luo Ling also discovered that she was showing signs of being silenced, but after a slight struggle, she was able to speak again. This little magic was not very effective for her.
It seems that before leaving, Yuejian used some tricks to prevent Iris from leaking their information.
"Perhaps, relying on Iris's status as a favored one of the God Jingwei, the Xuanyuan family dare not easily touch her."
Luo Ling sighed softly and thought that this was the best way to think about it.
Since we cannot obtain information through communication, the only way is to search the soul.
Apart from puppet rumors and some special methods, the damage caused by soul searching is quite serious.
No matter what, "Jingwei" is the daughter of the "Emperor" in the legend. If the Xuanyuan family wants to make a big splash, they must not harm those favored by the God.
But now...
Luo Ling cast her gaze towards Xuanyuan Muyan who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of her. At the same time, Xuanyuan Muyan also raised his head slightly and looked at her, and the painful expression on his face had eased a little.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Muyan has taken emergency medicine, but this medicine can only delay the spread and continued deterioration of the injury, and there is no way to heal the wound left by the forbidden artifact.
"...Ms. Black Crow?"
Xuanyuan Muyan said uncertainly, then took out the black crow's body, which was as silent as a corpse, from his pocket.
Luo Ling didn't react yet, but the little green bird on her head flapped its wings excitedly and shouted in Luo Ling's mind,
"Wow, it's the red 'Jingwei'!"
"Ahem"
Listening to Iris's excited shout, Luo Ling couldn't help but cough twice awkwardly, then sighed and said,
"At this point, there is really no need to hide any longer."
She picked up the bluebird perched on her head, patted it and said,
"Show yourself, Miss Iris."
The little blue bird tilted its head, trying to fool people by acting cute, but after seeing Luo Ling's unquestionable gaze, it revealed its true form aggrievedly, lowered its head slightly and hid beside Luo Ling.
Even now, Iris still dislikes the environment of "The End of Zhuolu Wilderness" and just wants to turn into a bird and nest in Luo Ling's hair.
Xuanyuan Muyan was stunned for a moment when he saw two almost identical blue-haired girls appear in front of him.
Because in her perception, these two girls were almost copies of each other. From beginning to end, including their aura, they were completely identical. Even twins with the closest relationship could not do this.
But the problem is that their personalities are visibly different, and they behave like two completely different people.
"This is the only divine favored person of Jingwei at present, her name is Iris." Luo Ling said, "My name is Wu Yuan, um... I can be considered her sister, the Miss Black Crow you know."
After saying that, Luo Ling snapped his fingers, and the black crow's body in Xuanyuan Muyan's hand instantly dissipated, turning into strands of white silk threads, and the next moment they flew away with the breeze.
"Hey, what happened?"
Iris blinked, somewhat confused.
What's going on
So, does Miss Wu Yuan really know this fierce woman
Miss Black Crow... Is this a new vest
"Hmm? So... you are not the one favored by the god Jingwei?"
Xuanyuan Muyan said with a surprised look. In her perception, whether it was Iris or Black Kite, they were exactly the same in similarity to "Jingwei".
"How should I describe it... Anyway, the situation is a little different from what you imagined." Luo Ling didn't want to continue on this topic. After calming down for a while, she spread her hands and said, "Anyway, as you can see, they directly abandoned the two of us. No matter what, now we can only stand together."
“… … .”
Xuanyuan Muyan did not answer, she quickly adjusted her mood.
Xuanyuan Muyan knew very well that what he needed to care about now was not the "Jingwei" divine being, but this Miss Wu Yuan.
What exactly is her stance and how should she face her? These are the problems faced by Xuanyuan Muyan.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Muyan was not good at this, so she could only stand there and stare at Luo Ling for a while, making Luo Ling not know what to say.
Just then, a light cough was heard and everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
A burly figure emerged from the shadows, followed by a small and inconspicuous wheelchair.
The disabled girl, who was still adorable despite the large scars on her face, sat in a wheelchair, supporting her chin with her only remaining arm, looking in the direction of Luo Ling with a half-smile.
"Hey, little black crow, or should I call you little black kite now?" Xuanyuan Linglong raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and her injured eyes slightly opened, revealing a bit of deep darkness. "But, this should be just another name of yours, right?"
Xuanyuan Linglong and her second son Xuanyuan Muwu, who had just been separated for a short time.
The chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, who had been irritable when he learned that Yue Jian and others had sneaked into the "Zhuolu Wilderness", was now as obedient as a little mouse, lowering his head and pushing the wheelchair for his mother.
"... You are a little late, Sister Linglong." Luo Ling was silent for a while and sighed softly.
"Who is this?"
Iris tugged at the corner of Luo Ling's clothes and asked in a low voice.
She was full of confusion about the situation. It was clearly Miss Wu Yuan's first time coming to the Great Xia Imperial City and her first time meeting the Xuanyuan family. How come she suddenly became so familiar with them, like an old acquaintance
"It's not too late." Xuanyuan Linglong shrugged. "There will always be something to delay me. Besides, I've already retired. In theory, I shouldn't get involved in these things anymore."
After saying this, she cast her gaze towards Xuanyuan Muyan, with a hint of majesty that belonged to a mother unconsciously in her eyes.
"What's more, even Yan'er is injured."
"... I'm sorry, mother." Xuanyuan Muyan lowered her head slightly, showing a rare embarrassment, "I was too careless."
"Be more careful next time, if there is a next time, and if you don't want to end up like me." Xuanyuan Linglong said with a smile, but there was an unconcealable sharpness in her smile.
For a moment, Xuanyuan Muyan buried his head even lower.
After scolding her daughter for a few words, Xuanyuan Linglong looked at Luo Ling again and said softly,
"This matter is far more complicated than you think, little Wu Yuan. My advice is that it's best not to get involved, but you probably won't listen, and I have no right to control you, after all, you are not my daughter."
After hearing these words, Luo Ling didn't know what to say, because Sister Ling Qunlong had already said everything she wanted to say.
Indeed, no matter what the attitude of the Xuanyuan family is, she will continue. Whether Xuanyuan Linglong's attitude is tough or gentle, it will not change her actions.
"But, I roughly know what you want to do. In fact, for the Xuanyuan family, the so-called "Heavenly Lady" forbidden power is not important." Xuanyuan Linglong said softly, "Because we don't need this forbidden power. If you are interested and have the ability, just take it.
"But the premise is that we don't want to see some people take this opportunity to touch upon the true taboos of the Xuanyuan Family, or even endanger the existence of the Xuanyuan Family."
Luo Ling hesitated for a moment and said,
"so?"
"So don't we have a basis for cooperation?" Xuanyuan Linglong's eyes curved slightly like crescent moons, and she said with a smile, "You take your power, and we stop our people. We each get what we need. Isn't this great, little Wu Yuan~"
With her sweet and soft voice, it is hard to imagine that Xuanyuan Linglong is already a mother of three children. It is even harder to imagine that her reputation in the Great Xia Imperial City is actually known for her cold-bloodedness and cruelty.
"I... am not refusing to cooperate."
As Luo Ling spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Iris beside him.
At this time, Iris noticed Luo Ling's gaze and blinked at her innocently.
At this moment, Luo Ling felt a sense of powerlessness surge from the bottom of his heart.
It is indeed too difficult for her to deal with Yuejian, Tumi and Xuemei alone at the same time, not to mention that Tumi and Xuemei both have a trick up their sleeves, and Yuejian has never tried her best, so the realities of them are still unfathomable.
Miss Iris...
She is a god-level logistics personnel, but if she is placed on the front line, she will definitely be an absolute burden. It is already good enough not to be betrayed by her. It is wishful thinking to expect her to add some help.
Therefore, at present, cooperation with the Xuanyuan family is indeed feasible.
"Not bad, little Wu Yuan, I really didn't misjudge you." Hearing Luo Ling's answer, the smile in Xuanyuan Linglong's eyes became even brighter, "I kind of want to see your true form, will it be cuter than it is now?"
"... Not very convenient." Luo Ling curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes slightly wandering.
Xuanyuan Linglong's excessive enthusiasm made Luo Ling a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what this old sister was thinking.
Fortunately, at least Luo Ling can be sure of one thing, the other party has no ill will towards him, although he always has some unfathomable thoughts... .
"Oh, what a pity."
Xuanyuan Linglong deliberately showed a disappointed look, took a sneak peek, and after finding that Luo Ling was indifferent to this, she changed her posture slightly, half leaning on the back of the chair lazily, and said with a chuckle,
"It seems that little Wu Yuan is still too serious about some things to be cute."
As long as it came to this aspect, Luo Ling didn't say a word. She had experienced how powerful Xuanyuan Linglong was, and now was not the time to explain everything. The less she spoke, the less mistakes she would make.
Soon, Xuanyuan Linglong straightened her face and continued,
"As for how to cooperate... The Xuanyuan family is really unable to spare any effort right now. They chose a good time. Most of the senior members of the Xuanyuan family are still attending the ancestral worship ceremony. It is already the limit for the head of the family to bring back a few elders. If they return on a large scale, it will probably cause panic among the people.
"In addition to the Zhuolu Wilderness, the Xuanyuan family has several other forbidden areas that need to be protected. It will be difficult for anyone, including me, to escape in a short period of time."
We can't lose sight of one thing while focusing on another and give up other forbidden areas of the Xuanyuan family for no reason just for the sake of "Zhuolu Plain".
"Therefore, for this cooperation, the only thing the Xuanyuan family can do is to send someone of sufficient weight - yes, it is Xuanyuan Muyan who is beside you. This is your sister Linglong's most beloved eldest daughter."
At this point, Xuanyuan Linglong's tone became a little playful.
To be honest, Xuanyuan Muyan and Xuanyuan Linglong are simply carved from the same mold, just taller.
However, unlike her mother, Xuanyuan Muyan has a rather old-fashioned and serious personality, and she always does things in a methodical manner.
She and Luo Ling looked at each other and nodded slightly in response.
"Little Wuyuan, I have even handed over my beloved eldest daughter to you. How about this sincerity?" Xuanyuan Linglong giggled.
"Does the Xuanyuan family have a way to step into the 'past'?" Luo Ling did not respond to Xuanyuan Linglong's question and asked directly.
If the Xuanyuan family had it, she wouldn't have to use the power of "omniscience".
Luo Ling knew very well that "omniscience" would certainly be able to tear apart the gap between the present world and the past, but the consequences would be difficult to estimate.
Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe there will be a serious accident.
The unique characteristics of the "Chaos" path are ultimately troublesome...
"Unfortunately, no." Xuanyuan Linglong spread her hands and said, "The fairies of the Penglai Holy Land rely on this, which has always been a headache for us."
They couldn't defeat the other party, but once they started to escape, the Xuanyuan family would be hard to catch up with them.
"You can discuss the specific details with Yan'er. You can go to Penglai Island to get a portion of the 'medicine for the past', or go to Qingqiu Country or Xihe Palace. Anyway, the heads of these places have already arranged everything, so you can make your own arrangements."
Xuanyuan Linglong said, "In short, this is a cooperation, not a commission. It would be best if we can accomplish our mutual goals. Even if we can't accomplish it... it doesn't matter."
Speaking of this, she stopped abruptly and looked meaningfully at the place where Yuejian and others last disappeared. There seemed to be some inexplicable meaning flashing in her eyes.
This guy is also a vengeful person...
Wait, why do you say that
"Anyway, you guys continue." Xuanyuan Linglong turned her gaze back to Luo Ling, and smiled again, "You must cooperate well with Yan'er. I am looking forward to your results."
After saying that, Xuanyuan Linglong waved her hand and asked Xuanyuan Muwu to take her back.
After both of them left, Luo Ling and Xuanyuan Muyan looked at each other again.
