C108

Liu Chen'er's gaze was firm and gloomy as she silently stared at this mound of earth that could not even be considered a grave.

If she didn't take revenge for today's grudge, how could she be worthy of being a child?

Mu Xiaoling had been floating behind Liu Chen'er the entire time. She didn't know why, but she felt that Liu Cheng had changed. She was no longer the innocent country girl from before. Instead, she was filled with hostility.

After butting her head, Cheng'er got up and left with determination. She had disguised herself as a beggar and snuck into the city. After some investigation, she found out that the rich son was actually the son of the magistrate.

She knew that if she stayed, there would be no hope for her to take revenge. Since that was the case, she might as well go to Shang Jing to look for an opportunity. The most respected person in the world would be the emperor.

Mu Xiaoling watched as Cheng'er slowly transformed. She had never seen anyone suffer as much as Cheng'er. With just a weak girl, she was able to travel across half of the country to the capital.

However, the capital was not a happy city.

Liu Chen'er's appearance was extremely dangerous. She was eventually discovered by someone, and was almost sold to a brothel. In the end, she was chased to the edge of the cliff by Master Gui and then jumped off.

Mu Xiaoling saw this and could only silently sigh. Her gaze shifted and appeared at the bottom of the cliff.

It was a huge cave, and Cheng'er had fallen inside.

However, this cave was not ordinary. There was a pair of dried up bones inside. In front of the dried up bones, there was a short table with a jade scroll placed on it.

Mu Xiaoling wasn't able to pick it up, but he could see three words written on the jade slip – Ghost Bind Steps.

In her mind, she suddenly thought of Shao Ying's movement technique, as well as that fleeting stream of air inside the room at the Fanghua Hall.

But were these two really related?

She lowered her head to look at Cheng'er, who was still unconscious. Perhaps this person was the only one who could give her an answer.

The next day, Liu Chen'er woke up from her cave and stood up with difficulty. However, she took a glance at the dried up bone and the jade slip.

After experiencing so many things, Liu Chen'er was already immune to death. Even if she saw dried bones, she wouldn't be surprised. She just curiously picked up the jade slip and opened it.

However, there were no words on the jade slip. A black light shot out from it and entered into Liu Cheng'er's mind. Soon after, she fainted.

Then, a slender figure floated out from the pile of bones. Looking at Liu Chen'er on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although this girl's talent is good, on the surface, she looks like she's on the verge of death. Since she has learned my martial skill, then she can't be considered my disciple.

The man raised his head and looked in the direction of Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling was startled, but she could feel the gaze landing on her. He could see her?

The person said, "Although this woman died prematurely, there is still a sliver of life left in her. If you can protect her, I will give you all of my power. Is that okay?"

Mu Xiaoling asked curiously, "You can see me?"

The man nodded.

Mu Xiaoling was silent. If this matter had not happened, then she would have helped Lifei and even if this person hadn't appeared. However, if Lifei was already dead, then even if she wanted to help, she wouldn't have been able to. She could only say, "At this moment, I'm only dreaming.

"This is enough." "I am from ancient times, and my cultivation base is even that of a Martial Saint. This power is not something that you can accept in a short period of time. I will compress this power in your Dantian and slowly absorb it."

Mu Xiaoling only felt a huge force being forcibly stuffed into her dantian at this moment. It was as if someone was pulling out her tendons and skin. The pain caused her both eyes to turn black as she fainted.

When she woke up again, Cheng'er was already awake, meditating by the side.

Mu Xiaoling's body moved. Perhaps she was dreaming, but she didn't feel any difference and could only give up on probing her body. She looked at the place where the skeleton was, but it was already empty. There was only a layer of pink ashes left.

"Thank you. I will keep my word." Mu Xiaoling swore in her heart as she looked at Liu Cheng again.

At this moment, Cheng'er had already opened the door for cultivation. Her martial arts value had risen rapidly and in a blink of an eye, it had reached Fighter 6-dan.

Just then, two more people entered the cave.

The two were both men and both looked quite young. One of them looked very sneaky while the other looked quite handsome. He wore a wide-sleeved robe and a jade crown. There was a red mark on his forehead.

Mu Xiaoling could tell from this man's appearance that he was about the same as the Imperial Concubine that had died in Lu Xuan's hands. Could this person be the Imperial Advisor?

The sneaky person whispered, "This is the place. I can guarantee that no one will find this place."

The person who looked like an Imperial Advisor coldly looked at him and didn't say a word. However, when the two of them walked in, they saw Liu Cheng. The jade slip on the table had already disappeared.

The sneaky person was immediately dumbfounded. A trace of murderous intent flashed across the eyes of the man who was suspected to be the Imperial Advisor for a moment. Then, he slowly walked over to Liu Cheng and took out a porcelain bottle, "Miss, you're injured. I have a bottle of medicine for you to use first."

Cheng'er already knew that someone had come in. She was already prepared to die, but after seeing this change, she was stunned. God knows how long it had been since she had received the good intentions of others.

"Miss?"

"Thank you." Liu Cheng'er's eyes reddened, and she quickly took the bottle. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at that person. "Can I …" "What's your name?"

The man's mouth twitched as he revealed a slight smile, "I'm the Lu Family's Patriarch, my surname is Lu, and my name is Hai Feng."

Mu Xiaoling frowned. His surname was Lu and it seemed like he really was the Imperial Advisor.

Lu Hai reached out his hand. "It's freezing cold here, how can a girl like you stand it? Why don't you come back with me first?"

Liu Chen'er looked at that hand. She clearly knew that she shouldn't have agreed, but she still couldn't help but reach out her hand and grasp that long, powerful and warm hand.

She needed the temperature too much, even if it was fake.

Mu Xiaoling really wanted to shout out loud to tell Liu Chen that Lu Hai wasn't a good person, but no one could see her and even more so listen to her. She could only watch as Liu Chen followed Lu Hai out of the cave, flew up the cliff, and returned to the Lu family.
