When Ling'er said this, her eyes were as clear as a fawn's as they stared at Zi Ling.

Zi Ling pretended not to notice as she sat sideways on a stool. "Did I say that I would only let her come with me?"

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and Ling'er was the first to understand. She immediately smiled and said, "Grandfather, little miss agreed to let you come with us."

The old man also smiled as he narrowed his eyes. Although Ling'er wasn't his own granddaughter, seeing her grow up with his own eyes made him feel as if she was his own granddaughter. In order for Ling'er to cultivate, he was willing to leave, but he didn't expect her to allow them to leave together.

"I told you that I won't take you in as my disciple. You live together with your grandfather and we can look after each other. I will only teach you a few methods. As for how far you cultivate, it will all depend on yourself." Her voice was cool, as if she didn't want to get too involved with them. With that, he stood up and said, "Pack your things. It will take a long time to get back to work. We'll set off immediately."

The two of them had nothing to carry, so they hastily packed their bags and followed Zi Ling onto the road.

"Miss, what are you going to do next?" As they were about to return to the Bai Yuan City, Pearl wanted to know what she planned to do next.

Zi Ling led the way at the front. "Go back to the Ye family and pretend you don't know anything."

Zhu'er turned her head to look at the grandfather-grandson pair behind her, "What about them?"

"I have my own plans for them …" Zi Ling did not explain any further. Zhu'er stuck out her tongue and slowly walked to Ling'er and the old man's side.

"Ling Er, I'll be leaving soon. Follow the little miss and she'll arrange everything for you." As she spoke, Pearl stroked Ling'er's little braid.

"Big Sister Zhu Er, aren't you coming with us?" Ling'er raised her head, somewhat unwilling to part with it.

"Un, I still have things to do. You must properly practice cultivation with the young mistress so that I can avenge the young lady in the future." This was also Pearl's mission.

Ling'er resolutely nodded her head. "The Miss saved Grandfather. She is a good person, so I will definitely properly cultivate and avenge the Miss."

Pearl smiled with gratification, "That's good!"

As soon as the four of them entered the city, Zi Ling sensed that someone was eyeing her. Her steps paused, and she turned her head to look at Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, lead them to the street on the right. Don't talk to me, lest you expose your identity." Before entering the city, Zi Ling had deliberately distanced herself from the three people behind her, and Zhu'er had been busy conversing with Ling'er. Naturally, they were like two different groups of people.

After hearing this, Zhu'er didn't even raise her head. Still smiling, she pulled Ling'er and the old man towards the street on the right.

Zi Ling sensed that the group of people were still following her, so she didn't pay attention to Zhu Er and Ling'er. Thus, she pretended to walk forward leisurely.

After about a quarter of an hour, several people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

Zi Ling's mouth curved up, and looked at the forty year old man in front of her, "Enforcer Ou isn't at the Divine Profound Sect, but is he here specifically to welcome me?"

Deacon Ou gave a heavy "hmph" and didn't even bother to look at her. He said to the people beside him, "Bring her here."

Just as they were about to approach, Zi Ling retracted the smile on her face, and stared straight at Enforcer Ou, "I know the path to the Divine Profound Sect, so Deacon Ou is not needed to lead the way." With that, he turned and left.

"Capture her!" Deacon Ou didn't expect her to be so impudent. He was immediately angered from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, he didn't know that Zheng Zhong had died at the hands of Zi Ling. Aside from Zi Ling and Zheng Zhong, all of the disciples in the Divine Profound Sect had returned safely. He was feeling guilty, so he sent people to keep an eye on them, and whenever there was any news about the two, he personally came to see them.

Zi Ling also gave a light "hmph", "They won't be able to stop me." As she spoke, her body swayed, and before anyone could see her move, the few young men blocking her fell to the ground on all fours.

Zi Ling pulled at the hem of her skirt and tilted her head to look at Deacon Ou, "Ye Ling will repay Deacon Ou's kindness sooner or later. It's not early today, so I'll head back to the Divine Profound Gate first." "Deacon Ou, please remember the way!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't be bothered to look at Deacon Ou's twisted face. He lightly smiled, turned around and walked past the bodies that were in his way, and headed in the direction of the Divine Profound Gate.

Deacon Ou looked at the purple silk back. He clenched his fists tightly, blue veins popping out one by one.

After confirming that there was no one behind her, Zi Ling circled a few more times before she reunited with the three of them.

"Zhu Er, go back and keep an eye on Ye Zhen. Don't act rashly." Zi Ling instructed.

Pearl looked at Ling'er and the old man before retracting her gaze and replying, "Yes!" After saying that, he left without looking back.

Ling'er was reluctant to part with him, and kept staring at the disappearing figure of Zhu'er.

"As you all know, I have enemies. "Since you're following me, you must be careful when you speak and act in the future." "Next, I will bring you to a place where Ling'er can cultivate from now on. As for Ling'er's grandfather, you can stay nearby and take care of Ling'er, but don't let anyone look at you, otherwise I won't be able to take care of you."

The old man hurriedly nodded. "Don't worry Miss, I will definitely be careful and not implicate Ling'er."

Ling'er shook the old man's hand and said to Zi Ling, "Miss, don't worry. I will follow your instructions and cultivate well, protecting grandfather to avenge you."

Zi Ling nodded her head indifferently. She did not want to interact too much with the two of them, so if it was not necessary, she was not willing to say much.

She planned to arrange the grandfather and grandson pair in the cave where she had once cultivated. He wondered if the little tiger was still there.

He was looking forward to it, but he quickened his pace.

The three of them walked further and further away until they finally arrived at a remote mountain. Following their memories, the purple silk quickly found the cave.

The two of them went out of the cliff. They didn't look back: "Wait here. I'll go in."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward. Her mood was a bit subtle. Although the little white tiger was only a spirit beast, it was her first partner in this world. Swallowing a thousand-year soul fragment could be said to be a blessing in disguise, but it depended on whether it had the luck to withstand good fortune or not.

The cave was not large enough to be seen to the end at a glance, so when she lifted her foot to step on the big stone in front of the door, she saw that the cave was empty: the little tail of an arrow tiger was not among them.

She carefully examined the cave, but found no other traces.

She temporarily stopped thinking and turned around, waving at Ling'er and the old man.

When Ling'er saw him, she supported the old man as they slowly walked over.

"This is where you will live and cultivate in the future."

Ling'er turned around and looked around. Although the cave wasn't big, it could protect her from the wind and rain. She grew up in poverty, so she wasn't dissatisfied.

After Zi Ling said this, she took out a few cultivation coins from her bosom and passed it to the old man, "Take these, and occasionally go down the mountain to buy some necessities for you and Ling'er." This money was given out by the Divine Profound Gate, it was useless to her even though she kept it all the time.

The old man took it shakily, his voice choked with sobs, "Miss, we really can't repay you for what you've done to us."

Zi Ling frowned, "I have a request. These are the rewards you deserve."

After saying that, without even looking at the old man's grateful eyes, he turned to Ling'er and said, "I've already passed down the mantra to you these past few days, just do as I say. I'll come here in a few days to check on your cultivation results."

"Yes, miss." Ling'er was still a little nervous when facing Zi Ling as she lowered her head.

"Yes, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." With that, he walked out of the cave and disappeared without a trace.

The old man clenched the pouch in his hands tightly and patted Ling'er's head with his other hand. "Child, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid when a spring flows out. We have received more than just a drop of water from the young lady …" The old man sighed.

Ling'er's gaze continued to be cast in the direction that Zi Ling had disappeared in. At this moment, she nodded. "Grandfather, I know."

Although grandpa doesn't have any other abilities, he still has a few good eyes. This young lady has a cold face and a warm heart, she is not a wicked person. Although she has a purpose for showing kindness, she did not lie to us. Ling'er, you have to cultivate well and avenge this young lady!

"Hmm …"

Ling'er softly replied. In her heart, something was growing more and more determined. She had seen the power of the Purple Silk. She also wished to become someone like her and protect everything she wanted to protect.

Just as Zi Ling returned to the Divine Profound Sect, Huo Zhen sent someone to invite her to the Cliffs less Palace.

When she arrived, Huang Ying, Gold, Chu Feng, Zhao Ting, and Liu Shuang were already standing in the main hall. The Sect Master of the Divine Profound Sect, Huo Zhen, sat at the head of the Main Palace and chanted with a loud and clear voice.

"I'll send someone to investigate this matter. You just need to focus on your cultivation …"

"You're finally back," Huang Ying whispered as she glanced at her. Gold also stared at her with excitement, but because Huo Zhen was in front, he didn't dare to move or make a sound.

Zi Ling walked up to Huang Ying and stood still, "Did the Acacia Faction do anything?" As he thought about how he took the blame for Qi Hao, his anger rose up. Luckily, he got three wagons of spirit stones from him, otherwise this deal would have been a huge loss.

Huang Ying shook his head with a solemn expression, "Joyful Union Sect actually hasn't made any movements, but it's Phoenix Mountain that has been stirring up trouble recently."

"Phoenix Mountain, what did they do this time?" Zi Ling raised her brows.

"Again? What do you know? " Huang Ying retorted with a question.

"Something did happen on the way back. I'll explain it in detail later. Tell me what they did that caused such a commotion."

Huang Ying softly clicked his tongue, "Phoenix Mountain's Xuan King and Fire Phoenix did take in a good disciple, that little sister of yours …" As he spoke to here, Huang Ying shot her a glance and realized that she did not have any special reaction. He then continued, "It is said that she has already become a profound master and challenged the genius disciples of the several great sects of the Great Deer Country. "Tsk tsk …"

Zi Ling's face was expressionless. "What does that have to do with us?"

"Of course it's related. The genius disciples of the Great Deer Country have all been defeated, and the Phoenix Mountain has locked their eyes on the Stellar Kingdom. The Fire Phoenix has already sent a message to our various sects, and they will send disciples to visit us in a few months …" In my opinion, this visit is fake, the provocation is real, she truly thinks that her Phoenix Mountain is invincible under the heavens! "

"She just wants to come …" Zi Ling replied in an indifferent manner.

Of course, Huang Ying did not know that "she" was not "she", and continued to speak: "Sect Master is worried about the viciousness of the Phoenix Mountain, and that all the genius disciples that fought with her were severely injured."

Just as he was speaking, Sect Leader Huo Zhen's voice suddenly rose.
