Mu Xiaoling felt as though a long time had passed, but it also felt like a split-second. The thick ice-cold true essence finally concentrated in her dantian. She opened her eyes and a snow-white light flashed within.

She could see the wind now.

It was a transparent flow, as if it were an existence made of water. She extended her finger, and that strand of wind was like a child who had found his own home.

This was a very strange feeling.

She called for more wind to completely bury her body. Right now, she was like the wind, blowing into the courtyard without anyone noticing.

She scanned her surroundings and soon found her target: the third son of the Li family, Li Dong.

Li Dong seemed to want to go out, but was stopped by a guard at the door.

"This time is definitely different from usual. I hope Third Young Master can bear with it a little."

Li Dong was a bit anxious, "My jade pendant dropped. I was just going out to look for it. I'll be back soon."

The guard's expression did not change, but firmly refused, "I hope Third Young Master does not make things difficult for us."

At this time, a young man dressed in a green and luxurious outfit came out of his room. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Third brother, where are you planning to go?"

Mu Xiaoling immediately understood that this person was the current Li Family's Young Lord, Li Qiuming.

When Li Dong saw Li Qiuming, he immediately acted like a quail seeing a cat, cowering and submissive like he was a different person. He opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then said, "The jade pendant that my mother gave me fell."

This action made the guards feel more sympathy towards Li Dong, and they also felt a little annoyed when they looked at Li Qiuming.

Li Qiuming, however, didn't mind at all. He looked at Li Dong with disdain, "I'll give you 100 of those f * cking jade pendants of yours for tomorrow. Now go and guard your father."

Li Dong said, "But my father's body has already been sent to another place. If we don't catch the murderer, the emperor probably won't let me go there to guard."

"Trash, that side doesn't know. Not only will you not be ranked, you even want me to teach you a lesson. Get the hell back, don't embarrass yourself!" Li Qiuming snorted coldly and left.

Li Dong lowered his head and slowly walked back into the room.

Mu Xiaoling seized the opportunity and followed behind Li Dong.

Li Dong felt a gust of cold wind blow past his body, causing him to shiver. He couldn't help but look around and ask, "Did the wind blow?"

However, everything was calm, and there was no wind.

Li Dong shook his head in confusion and closed the door. When he turned around, all his cowardice had disappeared, and he picked up the pillow and threw it on the table, then he broke a chair with a punch and picked up a chair leg and viciously hit the pillow with it, "You're just a piece of trash, why are you calling me trash? I'll beat you to death! Li Qiuming, you're the one who stole my position, I'm the young master of the Li family, the entire Li family is mine!"

Li Dong seemed to have gone crazy. His eyes were bloodshot as he hit the pillow time after time with the leg of the chair. Perhaps he was afraid of being discovered, but his voice was very low and very hoarse.

Mu Xiaoling glanced at the flying cotton pillow and quietly went behind Li Dong to throw the rope under the bed.

At this time, perhaps the people outside had heard something and came over to knock on the door. "Third Young Master Li, are you there?"

Li Dong jumped in fright, quickly threw the pillow and the chair leg behind the screen, tidied up his clothes, and then opened the door. There was a guard outside.

The guard said, "I heard some movement in the room, so I came to take a look."

Li Dong looked gratefully at the guard, "It's fine, I accidentally tripped the chair just now."

"Call us from the door if you need anything." The guard went back to stand guard after he finished speaking.

Just as Li Dong closed the door, a gust of wind blew out.

"Strange, why would there be a wind blowing out of the house?" The room wasn't too big, and you could see everything with a glance. There was no place to hide, so he suddenly widened his eyes in fear and muttered in a small voice: "No …" Is it a ghost? "

Mu Xiaoling took the opportunity to leave and rush out of the wall. At this time, the true essence within his body began to gradually withdraw.

Gu Xiu said, "Master, it's time."

"Alright." Mu Xiaoling made a sound of agreement and sped up the speed of the wind like a hurricane.

As she entered the room, the primeval essence slowly faded away, just as she was about to disappear completely.

The Ancient Cultivator Fox in the Beast Repellent Space also returned to its human form, returning to his swing.

Mu Xiaoling sat back on the bed. Surprisingly, he didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, the true essence within his dantian had become more solid after being baptized by the ancient fox's true essence.

He didn't expect that this Star Martial Arts Competition would be so powerful. It was truly interesting.

"Not everyone can use this martial skill. After all, it is very difficult to achieve empathy." Taotie sneezed and said lazily, "By the way, how many stars did you see after the empathy?"

Mu Xiaoling's image of the chaotic starry sky shook his head.

Tao Tie said, "How many stars there are represents how many beast pets you can contract. However, there is nothing to worry about. With the two of us here, you can roam the world."

"Too many. I can't count them all," Mu Xiaoling interrupted Tao.

"Too... "Too much?!" Taotie eyes straight, lips trembling.

Gu Xiu said, "Master and that guy look a little similar."

Mu Xiaoling caught the words and asked curiously, "That person?"

Upon hearing this question, Gu Xiu Hu and Tao Tou fell silent.

Mu Xiaoling could tell that they didn't want to say anything, so she didn't force them. Right at this moment, a group of imperial guards arrived. They tied up Meng Lun without a second word and then rushed inside to search.

"What are you all doing!" When Meng Yifan saw what was happening, it was as if he didn't know what was going on. He let out a roar.

The person leading the group was a Vice Commander. "Someone reported him to be the culprit that killed the Li family's Patriarch. We've checked and found out that this Meng Lun had indeed left during the banquet. He's suspicious."

"I don't, I don't!" Meng Lun finally regained his senses. With a pale face, he shouted, "I did not kill Patriarch Li. I did not. I just saw him being strangled when I went in. I was too weak. I did not dare step forward and ran away."

At this time, the piece of rope was also found and thrown onto the ground. The deputy commander glared at him and asked, "This piece of rope, how do you explain it?"

Meng Lun was also stunned. "This is not mine. I don't know why this rope would appear in my room, but I am truly wronged!"

The Vice Commander thought for a moment. "Then you said you saw the murderer?"

Meng Lun nodded frantically.

The Vice Commander asked, "Can you see that person's appearance clearly?"

"I didn't. The light was too dim, but I saw a strange pattern on his arm. It looked like a long vine wrapped with flowers."
