He didn’t dare to say the word “trash” again. The look in her eyes was as sharp as a knife. “From now on, whoever dares to say the word ‘trash’ in front of me will die!”

When Beiting Huang turned around, she saw Mu Qingling looking at her with a pair of starry eyes. When their eyes met, Mu Qingling’s face was as red as the clouds. She lowered her head and twisted her hands helplessly.

What was this? A secret love?

Beiting Huang felt helpless. “Let’s go. It’s getting late. I’ll send you back!”

After she finished speaking, she held Mu Qingling’s hand and was about to leave. However, Beiting Ming had already led the guards to block Beiting Huang’s way fearlessly. “Beiting Huang, you can’t leave. Didn’t Beiting Xu and the others go to the Sunset Forest with you? Where are they?”

Beiting Xu? Only then did Beiting Huang remember that the tall leader who had died in the Sunset Forest was Beiting Xu. He had taken a knife and wanted to chop off her hand.

“They’re all dead!”

“Dead?” Although Beiting Ming couldn’t gather any Spiritual Qi, his dantian was still intact, so he wasn’t afraid. The most important thing now was how did Beiting Huang come back alive? “How did he die?”

Shouldn’t the one who deserved to die be Beiting Huang?

“They died trying to save me,” said Beiting Huang. “We encountered a level-three magical beast there. They stayed behind to deal with the magical beast. As you know, I’m useless. I couldn’t help much if I stayed, so I left first. Who knew that the magical beast was a mutated magical beast? Although it was only level-three, it was very powerful. In the end, they all died.”

“You! You…” The word “trash” was on the tip of Beiting’s tongue, but he swallowed it down. It was a terrible feeling. “You didn’t even collect the corpses. You came back alone?”

Not only was this man weak, but he was also afraid of death!

But what should he do? Beiting Huang seemed to have changed. When Beiting Ming met her gaze, the murderous intent in his eyes was so intense. Beiting Ming turned his head away and said angrily to the guards behind him, “Go to the edge of the Sunset Forest and take a look. I’ll go back and report this!”

After all, so many people had died, and they were all descendants of their families.

He didn’t believe Beiting Huang at all. This trash had changed. Although he couldn’t gather spiritual energy, he was much more agile. He had to go back and tell Young Master Han.

Beiting Huang sneered. She held Mu Qingling’s hand and walked towards the Mu Residence.

Mu Qingling’s father was the City Lord of Luobei City. He used to be an insignificant official in the Imperial Capital. It was because of his marriage with the Beiting Family that he became the City Lord of Luobei City.

“Ninth Young Master!”

Beiting Huang took big strides, and Mu Qingling had to jog to keep up with him. Seeing that Beiting Huang did not say anything along the way, Mu Qingling thought that he was in a bad mood. “No one will say that about you again in the future. You were very awesome today!”

After the girl finished speaking, she was so embarrassed that she could not raise her head.

Not to mention a man, even a normal woman like Beiting Huang would feel sorry for her.

“Yes. In the future, when I’m strong enough, I’ll protect you!” said Beiting Huang. She would definitely do it in the future. She gently grabbed Mu Qingling’s wrist and accidentally cut her wrist with her fingertips. She couldn’t help but frown. No wonder this girl wasn’t strong. She was actually poisoned.

Who was it that dared to poison her? An idea flashed through Beiting Huang’s mind, and she sneered. Mu Qingling’s biological mother had passed away early, and her father had married a legitimate daughter of the Nangong Family branch and given birth to a son and a daughter. He probably couldn’t tolerate this legitimate daughter of his first wife, right?

However, Beiting Huang’s eyes flashed coldly. How dare he attack her people?
