The Xiaowan had disappeared, and disappeared along with his son. The Uncle Biao rode on his horse and looked over his Baisha Town up and down, and even went to check his Qingling Village.

Until the evening, when Da Qing met a familiar boat family at the dock. They actually said that when he left the ship early in the morning, there was a mother and son riding the boat, and their appearances and ages were extremely similar to that of the Xiaowan.

However, right now, they were at the mouth of the river outside the Baisha River. It was raining heavily, and if they wanted to go chase them by boat, they wouldn't be able to leave today's ship.

The whole family gathered together to discuss, and all of them held back their words, and in the end, the Auntie Chen said: "She brought Little Pei along, that's not possible! If she seeks death, what will happen to Little Pei?"

Everyone looked at each other, Da Qing said: "Let's go to the pier and wait, we will leave the moment there is a boat."

The Uncle Biao then said: "You guys wait for the water path, I will ride on my horse and head there first. She might be going to the cliff to pay her respects to Chao Feng, wanting to tell him about Ershan's good news."

If that was really the case, that would be the best outcome, but Little Pei was not a mortal. Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang both knew that, so Xiaowan didn't need to worry about losing his son because no one would take care of him.

He had been on guard for more than half a year, but in the end, he had still not escaped this calamity.

At the moment, Xiaowan had already changed ships and was floating on the river.

Little Pei was very obedient, and did not say much along the way. He did not dare to ask his mother where she was going, as he was afraid that she would not be able to answer him.

But at night, when his mother was fast asleep, Ling Pei left his body and flew out, heading straight for the Imperial City.

He could ride the cloud and ride the fog, and he could arrive at the destination in the blink of an eye. But today, he was stopped on his way to find his father.

"Grandmother …" Facing the gigantic dragon blocking him, his path was blocked.

"Go back!" She said coldly and ruthlessly, "Little Pei you have to know, once your father leaves the stone statue unnoticed, he will be severely punished. Do you want to harm him?"

"But my mother, she … she seems to …" Ling Bi wanted to speak, but stopped himself. He hoped that he was overthinking things.

"Go back!" Grandmother forced him into her mouth and flew back to the river.

In a short period of time, the Xiaowan was shaken awake, but when she saw her son beside him, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Little Pei returned to his physical body, opened his eyes and looked at his mother.

"What are you looking at?" The Xiaowan gave him a kiss, "Are you dreaming?

Little Pei pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He threw himself into his mother's embrace and hugged her tightly.

"Silly child …" The Xiaowan comforted him softly, but his gaze was empty as he looked at the pitch black cabin, "We'll be there soon."

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed and Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang had respectively gone out on a dry path to chase after him.

And today, was the first Hall Competition since he ascended the throne.

At that moment, the day dawned. The warriors who passed the exam were already listed under the gates of the Imperial City, waiting for the officials to bring them into the Imperial Palace.

After entering the palace, he had experienced the etiquette of roll call, scatterings, worship, and salutations. Finally, he gave out the questions and handed in the papers at sunset.

The results would be released soon after the papers were reviewed by the reading officials and submitted to the emperor for approval.

But this session was different from the past. On the second day of the Hall Competition, the examinees were once again summoned to the palace.

At that time, after the names of the examinees were hidden away, they would recite the theory written by them. Every examinee would then be able to know what was written in the essays of the others.

Bi Zhenye was ranked fifth, he was a few places behind Ershan, but there were often people who did not get a good ranking in previous years, and in the end, they displayed their talents in the Hall Competition as the top scorers of the high school.

At this moment, everyone was following the attendant as they walked towards the majestic and imposing Announcement Hall. Standing below the stairs, waiting to be summoned, Ershan inadvertently raised his head and saw the mighty and domineering stone beast standing above the eaves.

Naturally, he could not sense that his brother was protecting him. He only thought of entering the imperial court as an official in the future. Every day when he walked by, he would be under the watch of this stone beast.

He couldn't become like his father. He couldn't forget his original intention of revenge.

Ling Chaofeng looked at his younger brother, who was standing openly in front of the palace. Although he had long known that Ershan was hiding the secret in his heart and that he would one day return to the Bi Family to take revenge, he had always hoped that Ershan would wake up on his own.

When the palace maid brought the examinees into the Announcement Hall, Ling Chaofeng's heart suddenly trembled. He felt that thousands of miles away, the Xiaowan was currently thinking about him.

Ling Chaofeng unconsciously clenched his fists, trying his best to calm himself down. He could calculate the future, but he could not calculate the future of Xiaowan at all.

Every word struck Ling Chaofeng's heart. He wanted to go to the Xiaowan, but he was so far away from the immortal soul to experience the calamity that awaited him, but if he were to fly out right now …

Time slowly passed, and the examination papers in the Announcement Hall were nearing the end. There were two essays that had gotten the same result as the reading officials, and the emperor had revealed the names of the examinees in front of everyone, which happened to be Ling Xu and Bi Zhenye.

The two of them looked at each other, smiled and walked forward.

Even the Emperor didn't expect such a result, but in an instant, he thought of a way to separate the top scholar and top scorer between them.

"We heard that Ling Xu was the second son lost in Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi more than ten years ago. You and Bi Zhenye were originally blood brothers?" The moment the emperor's words left his mouth, the entire hall went into an uproar. Only the two people involved could be considered relatively calm.

The emperor's gaze swept over them one by one, then said: "Back then, I was only a seven or eight year old child as well, but I remember very clearly, it was Ling's mother who entered the palace to request for the Emperor to decide on the marriage, allowing Bi Zhenye's mother to marry into the Prime Minister's Estate. Everyone knew that after Mrs. Bi passed away at an early age, just when she passed away, Bi Fan also went missing. What do you think happened in the assistant minister's residence that year? "

Ershan's heart tensed up, he looked at Bi Zhenye, only to see him looking down, clenching his fists, as though he already understood what the Emperor was trying to do.

No one would have thought that at the very end of this Hall Competition, there would actually be an ugly story of a concubine being killed by someone from the Prime Minister's Estate.

However, the emperor lightly laughed and said, "Of course, all of this is just rumors. What's happening right now is that we assume it to be true, but what if Bi Zhenye's mother commits the crime of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, as well as abandoning his son. How will the two of you face this matter today? Your answer will decide who will be the top scholar and who will be the top ranker. Naturally, someone will investigate what happened in the Prime Minister's Estate and not take into account today's decision. "

Silence reigned in the hall as the two young men standing below the steps straightened their bodies. They had stood there for ten years and had experienced countless trials. Who would have thought that the last thing they would face was the very first thing they would encounter in their entire lives?

Ling Chaofeng stood on top of the Announcement Hall and shook his head with a smile. Following that, after accompanying him for dozens of years and protecting his children and grandchildren for a thousand years, it wasn't too much of a grievance.

But before waiting for Ershan and Bi Zhenye to reply, Ling Chaofeng's heart suddenly trembled, this was absolutely not a feeling he should have.

On the side of the cliff, the Xiaowan threw out money and the paper scattered into the valley like snow dancing. She said with a smile, "Ershan is going to be the top scorer, he will definitely make it.

Little Pei stood at the side and tugged on his mother's skirt.

If his mother had leapt up, he would have been able to save her. However, he would have been able to save her for a while. If she could not die today, she would continue begging for death tomorrow.

If he was born with a mortal body, even though he wouldn't be able to save his mother, she wouldn't abandon him. It was precisely because she wasn't the same that her mother knew that she didn't need to worry about her leaving him.

"Mother …" Little Pei called out softly.

"Are you tired?" Xiaowan squatted down and rubbed his son's head, "Do you still feel cold? It's windy here. "

Little Pei bit his lips as he looked at his mother with his big eyes.

"Look, Little Pei, there are some red fruits." The Xiaowan suddenly pointed at a tree in the distance and said to his son, "Go and pick some red fruits for me to eat with you."

"I can't reach it." Little Pei said.

"Don't you know how to fly?" Xiaowan patted his butt, "You must be lazy, go quickly, Mother is hungry."

Ling Bai turned his head three times, afraid that as soon as he turned around, his mother would jump down, but his mother stood there smiling and waving at him, urging him to go quickly.

Little Pei was helpless. If this was his mother's life, he would really be powerless to change it.

Watching her son nimbly climb up the tree, Xiaowan smiled in satisfaction. She then looked up at the sky and said calmly: "Master, I have come to find you."

Little Pei looked back from the tree, and saw that his mother had already disappeared. He immediately summoned his Golden Dragon and pounced over, but there was a flash of wind as he charged into the ravine even faster than.

He closed his eyes and waited for death to descend. When he opened his eyes again, he could see his husband's heroic soul, but his body was suddenly held back, and she no longer felt herself falling. The familiar aura, the familiar warmth, enveloped her body.

"Hubby …" Xiaowan's tears fell like rain, but she asked with a silly smile, "Am I dead, or am I still alive? Are you a ghost or an immortal? Husband, you finally came to see me. "

Ling Chaofeng landed steadily at the bottom of the valley, but immediately let go of his hands, he had to fly back, even so, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape from the Heaven's Eyes.

"Where are you going?" But the Xiaowan held onto him tightly, crying as she asked him, "Ling Chaofeng, do you want to die or live, and you want to abandon me again?"

Ling Bai stood on top of the cliff and looked through the layers of fog at the bottom of the cliff. Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky churned, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and layers of dark clouds parted.

Ling Pei transformed into a Golden Dragon, blocking in front of them as he angrily roared: "What are you guys trying to do?"

At the bottom of the cliff, the Xiaowan saw the golden light in the sky and her son was rolling in the clouds. She couldn't see the people who came to capture Ling Chaofeng, but she felt uneasy.

"Evening, I should go." Ling Chaofeng said calmly, "Promise me, no more seeking death, promise me!"
