Chapter 40 - Siblings Recognition
Regarding Mu Wanqing's confession, Ling Xiao could tell that she was sincere. Actually, Ling Xiao could already feel her admiration towards him earlier, but Mu Wanqing was too shy to say it out loud.
This time, Mu Wanqing had been given the courage to confess with the help of the fierce medicinal properties of the aphrodisiac.
"Although saying something like that at this moment would ruin the atmosphere, I also have the same idea. I like you. Seriously." Ling Xiao caressed Mu Wanqing's face and said seriously.
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing's smile emerged, and she sat up with force. Then, she threw Ling Xiao onto the ground and fiercely kissed him.
Towards Mu Wanqing's initiative, Ling Xiao was a little stunned. But since the two of them had already explained what they were thinking, then what were they still waiting for?
With such a great opportunity in front of him, if he were to continue wasting it, it would definitely not be something a human should do!
After the storm, Mu Wanqing held Ling Xiao's arm tightly with a face full of satisfaction.
"Sect Master Ling …"
Mu Wanqing still wanted to say something, but her mouth was sealed by Ling Xiao's finger.
"Just call me Big Brother Ling Xiao from now on, calling me Sect Master is too formal." Ling Xiao laughed.
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing smiled bashfully and nodded, "Ok, Big Brother Ling Xiao."
"If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later. Let's go out first. There are still people waiting for us outside." Ling Xiao said as he helped Mu Wanqing put on her clothes.
One had to know that the two of them had already been inside the stone house for over an hour.
After they walked out of the stone house, the two of them felt the wind blowing against them. They were very satisfied and happy, because the two of them stayed in the stone house for a long time.
When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they saw Yue Lao San and the rest squatting by the roadside and playing with rocks and weeds.
Seeing Ling Xiao and Mu Wanqing walking out, the three of them hurriedly went forward to welcome them.
"Master, what took you all the way back?!" The Yue Lao San grumbled.
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Yue Lao San and said: "There are some mechanisms inside, so I spent a bit of effort. If you guys were to go, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back."
"Hehe, Master is right. Since you took so long, then we must have died inside." Yue Lao San laughed.
Hearing that, Yun Zhonghe who was at the side could not help but facepalm, and fiercely trample on it, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"What are you doing!" Yue Lao San was also enraged, you have to know, he was Yun Zhonghe's senior brother.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing here. Prepare the horse, let's go back." Seeing that, Ling Xiao said helplessly.
Hearing this, Yue Lao San and Yun Zhonghe immediately went to lead their horses.
's face was filled with awkwardness, and just as he was about to go with them, he was stopped by Ling Xiao.
"Master, what are your orders?" Duan Yu lowered his head and asked.
"You should have heard everything your father said in the lobby, right?" Ling Xiao asked.
Hearing that, Duan Yu nodded and said, "I heard it clearly, Master, is this for real?"
"Nonsense, does your father even know how to lie to you? "What's the point?" Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Mu Wanqing, who was at the side, was at a loss. She didn't understand what they were saying at all.
"Alright, let's not talk about it for now. When we return, there will naturally be people who will tell you. Let's return to the Imperial City first." Ling Xiao urged.
After everyone rushed back to the Imperial City, they did not continue heading towards the palace. Instead, Ling Xiao used his order badge and used a very secretive method to spread the news to Duan Zhengchun's ears.
One must know that Dao Baifeng was still in the palace, so Duan Zhengchun did not dare to allow his illegitimate daughter to enter the palace.
Therefore, Duan Zhengchun had already arranged a meeting place in advance, and this was at Imperial City. Since Duan Zhengchun said it was safe, then it was absolutely safe.
Thus, Ling Xiao and the rest went to the location Duan Zhengchun had instructed them to wait.
Before long, Duan Zhengchun appeared.
This was a relatively remote inn, and it looked like no one had come, but Ling Xiao knew that this must be a stronghold that Duan Zhengchun had planted in the Imperial City, otherwise he would not have trusted this place so much.
Inside a room, when everyone saw Duan Zhengchun walking out from behind a bookshelf, they understood that there was a secret passage that led to this place from the palace.
With regards to Duan Zhengchun's appearance, other than Mu Wanqing, who was a little surprised, the rest of the people looked calm. Duan Yu should have heard of it before, but as for the three of them, due to their vast knowledge, they were not surprised.
When Duan Zhengchun walked out from the bookshelf, the first thing he did was to look around the room. When he saw Mu Wanqing, he immediately broke out into a smile, "Qing'er, it's good that you're fine! Haha, it's good that you're fine! "
Mu Wanqing was just about to pay her respects to the Southern King, but when she heard this, she was stupefied. She didn't know what had happened, why did the Southern King of Dali call her that?
Duan Zhengchun did not answer Mu Wanqing's question. Instead, he turned to Ling Xiao and cupped his hands, "Sect Master Ling, I really have to thank you for your help this time around."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he smiled and waved his hand: "Prince Duan is too courteous, after all, you are going to be my wife's person in the future, there is no such thing as not saving you."
After hearing this, it was Duan Zhengchun's turn to be confused. Fortunately, Duan Yu knew the story behind it, so he told it to him in detail.
"Sigh, I never thought that it would actually be Sect Master Ling." Duan Zhengchun knew that Ling Xiao was very strong, and also didn't expect it to be Duan Yu, the one whom Ling Xiao had asked Mu Wanqing to save.
"Prince Duan, what are you doing with your head down? Is I not worthy of Miss Mu?" Ling Xiao asked in amusement.
Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun quickly waved his hands: "What is Sect Master Ling saying? It's simply her fortune that Sect Master Ling is able to like my daughter."
"What?" Mu Wanqing finally could not sit still any longer, and after hearing Duan Zhengchun call her, she could not help but call out.
It was at this time that Duan Zhengchun realized that he had actually leaked the information!
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao laughed: "Prince Duan, don't blame yourself too much. There is no wall in this world that doesn't let the wind escape, furthermore, this is something you said yourself, and it's even twice."
Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun wanted to cry, but his own son and daughter were watching him and he had no other choice, could he lie in front of them?
But Duan Yu had heard it clearly before.
Seeing Duan Zhengchun's conflicted expression, Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Prince Duan, you don't need to work hard anymore. Why don't you let these siblings recognize him.
