"I am the second daughter of my master, Dong Ling Wan." After these few days of interaction, Dong Ling Wan felt that Liu Rumei wasn't a heartless woman. Naturally, she didn't mind telling her who she really was.
"Earlier, I purposely hid it from you out of caution. You …"
"No problem!" "No problem!" Liu Rumei did not have much of a reaction. She only chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that I would actually save the young miss of the Seven Desire Family!"
"Take this jade pendant. As long as I or my descendants are here, this jade pendant will always be effective!"
"That's just a small matter, I really can't take it!" Liu Rumei hastily ran out the door with a wave of her hand.
Seeing that Liu Rumei was truly unwilling to accept the jade pendant, Dongling Wan didn't try to force her anymore. She just quietly stuffed the jade pendant into Liu Rumei's bag when she wasn't paying attention.
At noon that day, the group arrived at a large town. Thus, Dong Ling Wan and Chen Huan bade farewell to the escort company and entered the city with Chen Huan.
That night, Liu Rumei untied her small bundle and saw a green jade pendant lying in the middle of her clothes. Feeling helpless, she quickly took the pendant to Liu Zheng Yang, wanting to return it to Eastern Ling Wan.
Liu Zheng Yang looked at the jade pendant for a while, and then said: "I once heard from a business friend that this second lady has no problem with her words, since she insisted on giving it to you, there is no reason to take it back, so, you keep it, maybe you will really need it in the future."
Liu Zheng Yang thought, 'Ru Mei is too simple, they just met by chance. Although she saved Dong Ling Wan's life, there's no need to befriend her, isn't that what Dong Ling Wan meant by giving her this jade pendant?' Originally, the two families didn't have much to do with each other, so why be such a gentleman?
At this time, Liu Zhengyang could never have imagined that after a few years, the martial arts sects would be destroyed because of this jade pendant.
After buying a new carriage, Dong Ling Wan and Chen Huan set off for the Black Cloud Mountain on the morning of the second day. At the same time, in a camp at the border, the father and son duo of the Rong family were having a fire and water battle.
"With just a useless letter, you want to go to Black Cloud Mountain and save that Eastern Ling Wan that might appear, despite your reputation within the army?" Rongyuan slapped the table and coughed a few times. It was obvious that he wasn't feeling very well.
"As long as it's her, even if it's fake, I will personally confirm it!"
"Unfilial son, This King forbids you from going!"
"I am only here to inform you, my royal father, and not to seek your permission!" Xiao Xun's expression was dark. If he was late by one day, Wan would be in more danger.
"Inspector Ah!" Princess Rongyuan looked at her husband and son, but could only be anxious.
"You …"
Without waiting for King Rong to finish speaking, Xiao Xun lifted his foot and left. Seeing Xiao Xun's back, Prince Rong was so angered that he began to cough violently. "This unfilial son of his, he's going to anger me to death!"
Princess Rongyuan was kind and replied, puzzled, "If he wants to go, then let him go. At worst, just bring him more troops." "What if that girl Hua Rou …"
"What do you know? That's most likely a trap! You have a good son! "
"That woman Eastern Ling Wan is a disaster! Disaster! Do you think that he can hide his actions from the generals? If others knew that he, the exalted Prince Rong, was obsessed with beauty and did not care about the big picture, then how would he command the entire army in the future? "
"This …" Princess Rongyuan frowned. She hadn't expected it to be so serious.
Gently patting Prince Rong's back, Princess Rongyuan smiled. "Be at ease, I have my own ways of making him leave!"
In the evening, Xiao Xun was sitting in his tent, reading some official documents. Facing the military requirements of tomorrow's departure, Princess Rongyuan came in with a cup of soup. "Child, you're so late. Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Mufei." Xiao Xun stood up and saluted as he helped Princess Rongyuan to a seat.
"Ah Xun, do you really have to go?"
"Mufei." Xiao Xun poured a cup of tea for Princess Rongyuan and said slowly, "Wan is as important to your son as you and A'Nan. If the letter mentioned you today, can your son ignore it, whether it's true or false?"
Princess Rongyuan's hand trembled as she held the teacup. She didn't expect her usually tactless son to say such words, much less how important Dong Ling Wan was in his heart.
Princess Rongyuan's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. If she did that, would her son hate her?
As he was thinking, Xiao Xun had already personally scooped out the broth: "Mufei should make up more."
Princess Rongyuan smiled and pushed it in front of Xiao Xun, "Since you've decided to go to Black Cloud Mountain, then go. "If you really like it, mufei will send people to the boss to propose marriage in the future."
"Your son has his own arrangements. Mother, there's no need to put in so much effort. Just take care of your father right now. There's still a lot of time to come."
"Alright!" Princess Rongyuan nodded. "I'm giving you some soup to cook. Have your cooking skills regressed?"
Seeing that Xiao Xun had finished drinking the soup, Princess Rongyuan's heart was finally at ease.
"It's getting late. Mufei, it's better if you go earlier …" "This soup …" Xiao Xun suddenly felt as if he were in a trance. He couldn't help but support his head with his hands. His gaze was full of anger. "Mufei, you …"
"Inspector Ah, mufei is doing it for your own good!"
"No, mufei, you can't …" No matter how strong Xiao Xun was, his physical body could not withstand the medicine. Xiao Xun only felt his vision grow blurry, but he still said, "Wan …" Danger... "Save …"
"Men, send the Crown Prince away at night. If he comes back in half a month, you won't have to come back!"
Looking at the completely unconscious Inspector Xiao, Princess Rongyuan suddenly didn't know whether he was right or wrong. However, the current situation was impossible to change.
Inspector, mufei really does like being soft, but to mufei, there's nothing more important than your future. Don't blame mufei, mufei is doing it for your own good.
"There's still no news of the two of them?"
"He won't die."
Dong Ling Wan's expression didn't look good as she said with a cold smile, "Does your master want you to protect me, or do you want to anger me to death?"
"Master said that if you were willful, you would knock yourself out."
Willful? It was as if that person understood her very well. Dong Ling Wan became more and more sure that Chen Huan's master was Xiao Xun. Of all the people in the world, he was the only one who knew her the best.
The two of them arrived at an inn at the foot of the Black Cloud Mountain within a few days. However, after waiting for two days, no one came to find them.
"There are many bandits in Black Cloud Mountain. It is easy to enter, but hard to leave."
"So?"
"Therefore, you stay. I'll go."
Eastern Ling Wan laughed coldly. "That's my father."
After finishing her sentence, Dong Ling Wan headed straight for the mountain, with Chen Huan following closely behind. Not long after, bandits rushed over and surrounded them. Dong Ling Wan then pointed at the box in Chen Huan's hands, "I'm here to deliver the ransom."
The bandits looked at each other, clearly not understanding the situation. This strange reaction of theirs made Eastern Ling Wan frown.
"Just you wait, I'll go inform the chief."
Not long after, the person who went in to report came out. The person commanded his subordinates to remove Chen Huan's sabre and 'invite' the two into the main stronghold.
