Mu Xiaoling held the other two in suspense. Then, he changed his posture and raised his sleeves as if he wanted to drink something. But, he used his sleeves to cover his mouth as he sucked the tea into his spatial ring.

When he received the spatial ring, there would certainly be some true essence fluctuations. However, with his cultivation level, he couldn't feel it, so Mu Xiaoling didn't feel any psychological pressure. She placed the empty cup on the table and said, "Since this matter is over, this humble girl will no longer disturb the princess."

Qian Yang and pearl looked at the empty tea cup and heaved a sigh of relief. After hearing that Mu Xiaoling was going to leave, how could they let her leave at this time? Qian Yang covered the sinister look in his eyes as he said, "Miss Feng, can you sit and chat with me for a while longer? No one will talk to me along the way. I feel really depressed."

With a smile that wasn't a smile, Mu Xiaoling leaned against the back of the chair and crossed her arms. "Princess, what do you want to talk about?"

Qian Yang continued to pretend to be friendly as he asked, "Is Miss Feng very close with Duke Ling?"

Mu Xiaoling shot a glance at her. "I'm more familiar with it than you are."

What she said was the truth. After all, she was the one who had personally released him from the Soul Refining Cave.

Qian Yang felt a pang in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to tear off Mu Xiaoling's face. She thought that Mu Xiaoling would be taking effect soon. She forced herself to smile. "I wonder how you know each other?"

Mu Xiaoling smiled. "Guess."

"…" Qian Yang took a deep breath before slowly exhaling. He had to endure it. "How did Miss Feng manage to get into the Meng Family to be a guest elder?"

Mu Xiaoling replied with two words, "Coincidentally."

Qian Yang wanted nothing more than to flip the table, but the effects of the medicine had yet to take effect!

"If you have nothing else, then I shall take my leave." Mu Xiaoling got up and walked out.

Qian Yang gave the pearl a meaningful glance. Immediately, the pearl stretched out both of its hands to pull Mu Xiaoling along.

Mu Xiaoling's feet flashed and she easily dodged the first step of her Meteor Steps. She didn't even manage to touch a single corner of her clothes.

Qian Yang looked on helplessly as Lin Sanjiu left the hallway. He felt like he had been duped. He turned his head and glared at the pearl, "You lied to me!"

"Your servant hasn't!" The pearl was also confused. This medicine was definitely not wrong, but why was there no reaction?!

"You'll know once you try." Qian Yang picked up the teapot with one hand and grabbed Pearl's chin with the other. He forced her mouth open and poured the entire pot of tea into it.

Pearl tried her best to dodge, but she was only at the Fighter level and was not a match for Qian Yang. She was forced to swallow the tea in big gulps, and those that weren't swallowed in time flowed out to spill all over her body.

After finishing the entire pot of water, Qian Yang threw the teapot, the pearl to the side and stretched his wrist.

"Princess, spare me!" Pearl's voice was very soft. She had lost half of her life, but suddenly, a wave of provocation spread throughout her body, causing her face to turn red.

When Qian Yang saw the state of the pearl, he could tell that the medicinal strength of the pearl hadn't disappeared. He didn't know why Mu Xiaoling wasn't hit, but it didn't matter. "I'll reward you then."

As soon as Qian Yang finished speaking, two men immediately appeared in the room. They grabbed the pearls from the ground and flew away.

The next morning, Mu Xiaoling was knocked on the door again. When she opened it, she saw Meng Yifan's anxious face and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"This morning, a female corpse was found outside. Her clothes were all messed up, and her entire body was full of scars and …" Meng Yifan didn't know what to say, so he changed the topic, "Just now, we found out that it's the princess' personal maid, Pearl. I found out that Princess Qian Yang asked you to come to her room last night, I was afraid something might have happened to you."

"It doesn't matter, those little tricks aren't enough to do anything to me." Mu Xiaoling thought about it for a while and decided to tell Meng Yifan about the drug that Qian Yang intended to use last night. In the end, she said, "Princess Qian Yang doesn't have any true concept of right or wrong. You have to be careful of her, don't let her take advantage of you."

"I know." Meng Yifan already knew that Qian Yang wasn't a good person, so he thought he was just a spoiled child. He didn't expect to be so vicious, even being on par with Xu Lan.

Mu Xiaoling had long finished packing. Not long after, someone from the inn brought in food and placed it on the table.

Perhaps it was because of the princess, but the dining at the inn was very sumptuous. Steamed buns, eggs, soy milk and youtiao were all available, almost filling the tables.

Mu Xiaoling glanced at it and was about to pick up a steamed bun when she coincidentally saw a drop of blood on the sleeves of the serving man.

Her expression changed and she quietly put down the steamed bun. She picked up an egg and slowly peeled it. She indifferently said, "I don't think I saw you yesterday."

The man lowered his head and replied, "I was not on duty yesterday."

"So it's like that …" "But your clothes don't fit you well. The original owner should be a bit shorter than you, with trousers that aren't bare and knees that aren't fit for wear. Moreover, you weren't careful when killing them, and your sleeves were stained with blood."

However, that person didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. With a murderous look on his face, he suddenly rushed forward and pulled out a bloodstained dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it towards Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling slammed her palm on the table to support her body as she flew up into the air. The eggshell fragment at her fingertips immediately turned into a killing weapon as she stabbed it into the center of the man's eyebrows.

A few drops of blood trickled down, and the man fell to the ground dead.

Mu Xiaoling carefully examined the corpse and found a black plum blossom tattoo on its right arm. There was nothing else.

Black Plum Blossom?

She lowered her head to examine it more closely.

He'd never heard of such a symbol before, so he could only ask Xiao Yu about it. He was afraid that not only would the other party send out this person, but they'd also want to change the entire inn.

Mu Xiaoling quickly rushed to the dining hall, but she was too late. The soldiers fell to the ground. There were overturned dishes everywhere, and not a single one of them were spared.

Her face darkened. She was about to leave when she saw a man wearing a postman's uniform coming over with a torch. It seemed like he was about to set fire to the place.

Mu Xiaoling flew up and took out her dagger. The strength of these two warriors was slightly stronger than the previous one and they were around Fighter 2-dan.

The two of them didn't seem to think that there would be someone who escaped their grasp. They immediately threw away their torches and prepared to attack. However, before Mu Xiaoling could move, Xiao Yu appeared behind them and with a light wave of his sleeve, the two of them fell to the ground lifeless.

Xiao Yu's expression was extremely unsightly, he squatted down and lifted up the sleeves of the two of them, after seeing the black Plum Blossom Mark, his entire face seemed to have turned even darker.

"Do you know this one?" Mu Xiaoling asked.
