Ling Yun was unwilling to face this topic head-on.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao had more important things on her mind. She could slowly ask these questions when she returned and solve the problem at hand first.

She looked at Ling Yun and said, “You came from the direction of the mine just now. Were you the one who caused the commotion in the mine in the middle of the night?”

Ling Yun cleared his throat. “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “You traveled to the mine?”

What kind of operation was this?

Of course, he was not traveling to the mine. Someone had seen the triplets near the mine. From the description, they were his three little evil disciples.

When he couldn’t find them later, he thought that his little rascals had been captured and taken to the mine.

Wei Xu looked behind Ling Yun with a dark gaze.

Ling Yun followed his gaze and looked back. “They’re my people.” As he spoke, he said calmly, “Come out.”

Four secret guards in night clothes used their qinggong to come over.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth. “So it was you. Dad and I thought it was the Saintess, Wei Ting, and Sixth Brother.”

Ling Yun said, “Your situation in the Southern Wilderness seems to be a little dangerous?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Let’s talk as we walk.”

Wei Xu picked up the unconscious man.

He walked at the front alone with Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Yun following behind.

Perhaps it was Ling Yun’s imagination, but he felt that General Wei Xu left a little too quickly, as if he had done something shameful and did not want to talk to anyone.

Of course, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn’t expose her in-law in front of him.

She would let her father-in-law digest those humiliating events himself.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Ling Yun, “Do you know who that woman was just now?”

“I don’t know.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Saintess of the Southern Wilderness.”

A trace of surprise flashed across Ling Yun’s eyes. “It’s her? Why are you going against the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness?”

Ling Yun was stunned.

His relationship with the Wei family was not too close. His main ties were his three little evil disciples and Ghostfear, who came to assassinate him every few days.

He shouldn’t have asked about the Wei family.

Why did he blurt it out just now?

Just as he was about to change the topic, Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s a long story. Five years ago, the matter of the Broken North Pass was related to the King of the Southern Wilderness and the Holy Maiden Temple. After coming to the Southern Wilderness, we went against the Holy Maiden Temple first.” “General Wei has been locked up in the Holy Maiden Temple all these years?” Ling Yun was not a fool. It would be unreasonable if he could not guess. Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Xu, who did look like he was fleeing in panic, and nodded.

If not for the fact that Ling Yun had used the sound of the zither to suppress the Holy Maiden’s flute in time tonight, Wei Xu might have killed himself before the medicine took effect.

Su Xiaoxiao was grateful to Ling Yun.

She also told him about tonight’s plan.

According to the plan, Wei Ting and Wei Liulang were to lure the Saintess to the mine and fight her there.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xu would take the opportunity to bring the man down the mountain.

During the operation in the mine, the Saintess would definitely cover her face. The witnesses in the mine would not know that it was the Saintess.

However, Xie Jinnian had already sent someone to track the Saintess. He would know that the Saintess had come to the Holy Mountain last night.

Coupled with Emissary Lu’s inquiries about the mine, Xie Jinnian would definitely come to a conclusion: It was the Saintess who had kidnapped the one in the mine.

There was a crisis of trust between the Saintess and the King of the Southern Wilderness. Even if the Saintess defended herself, the King of the Southern Wilderness would no longer believe her.

What the plan could not keep up with was that they had bumped into the Saintess on the official road.

“The Saintess recognized me. It will be troublesome if she informs the King of the Southern Wilderness later. From this point, we have to kill her to silence her. However, there will be trouble this way. Without the Saintess as a shield, the King of the Southern Wilderness will soon target the Cheng family.”

Ling Yun was puzzled. “Why?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Because the mine belongs to the Cheng family. The most likely person to attack in the mine is the Cheng family.”

Su Xiaoxiao also told Ling Yun about her identity in the her Cheng family.

Ling Yun digested the shocking news. “Then it seems that it would be better not to kill her.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “There will be trouble even if I don’t kill her.”

Ling Yun looked at her in confusion. “Why will there be trouble?”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “If I don’t kill her, she’ll tell the King of the Southern Wilderness that I kidnapped that person.”

Personally, she wished she could kill her.

However, looking at the big picture, the Saintess’ death was actually very disadvantageous to them.

All her previous efforts towards Xie Jinnian were in vain.

Ling Yun said softly, “In that case, I’ve disrupted your plan. If I hadn’t gone to the mine, you wouldn’t have left the mountain early and met the Saintess. In the end, you wouldn’t have ended up in such a dilemma.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t blame him. “It’s up to fate.”

God was not on their side this time. There was no choice.

As they spoke, they arrived beside the Saintess.

Her horse was grazing on the side of the road.

The Saintess was hit by a spear and lay motionless in a pool of blood.

“She’s still breathing,” Ling Yun said.

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. She was really lucky to not die after being pierced by the spear.

“Can you save her?” Ling Yun asked Su Xiaoxiao.

“It’s difficult.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to save her.

Ling Yun paused and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “I can turn her into your puppet if you have a way to save her.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Wei Xu also looked at Ling Yun in surprise.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands. “Are you serious?

It was a little flashy to let the Saintess be her puppet.

Ling Yun nodded. “This matter started because of me. I hope to do something to remedy it.”

Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly curious about Ling Yun’s background.

It was fine if he mastered the zither killing technique, but he actually knew how to refine puppets.

Why was this person like the Head of the Secret Service? He had so many secrets.

“Do you want it?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Xu.

The Saintess had done many evil things, and her father-in-law wished he could tear her into pieces.

If she wanted to keep her, she had to ask her father-in-law’s opinion first.

Wei Xu said, “It’s not an exaggeration to give her a taste of her own medicine. However, are you confident?” Ling Yun replied, “Yes.”

The group arrived at Changliu Lane in the evening.

Cheng Sang and the three little ones had been waiting here for the entire day.

Cheng Sang fell asleep on the chair.

Mei Ji carried her back to her room.

The three little ones stood inside the threshold and stuck their heads out to look around.

An unfamiliar and luxurious carriage stopped at the door.

The three little ones did not know this carriage, but they still looked over curiously.

The curtain was lifted.

Su Xiaoxiao walked down. The three little ones’ eyes lit up. “Mother!”

Erhu and Xiaohu rushed over.

Dahu held on to his demeanor of an aged four-year-old child and resisted the urge to pounce on his mother. He obediently came to Su Xiaoxiao. ‘Mother.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched the two little fellows who were hugging her thigh and reached out to touch Dahu with a mysterious smile. “Have you been waiting long?”

The three of them nodded.

Xiaohu asked, “Mother, why did you go for so long?” Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Mother went to pick up a friend.”

‘Who is it?” Erhu asked.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and turned to look at the carriage.

Ling Yun lifted the curtain and came down seriously.

The three little ones widened their eyes.

“Master?”

“Master?”

“Master?”

Ling Yun was about to greet the three little evil disciples indifferently when he was suddenly pounced on by them.

That’s right. Even Dahu could not hold it in anymore.

The three of them pounced on him excitedly and eagerly smeared saliva on his face.

Dahu hugged him tightly. “Master, Dahu misses you.”

Erhu pressed him down heavily. “Master, Erhu misses you too!”

Xiaohu crawled on him. “Master, Xiaohu misses you the most!”

Ling Yun, who had been ravaged by three little evil disciples the moment they met, was speechless..
