Chapter 93 - Murong Bo's Tomb
"It's a good design, if Madam Wang continues to live in the Jianghu, she would also be a respected senior." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
When Madam Wang heard this, she couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She thought back to when she was sought after by tens of thousands of people with her looks and strength.
"Alright, the food is almost ready. Everyone come over and eat." Madam Wang knew that she was old and that the more she thought about the past, the more depressed she would be. Thus, she forcefully pulled herself back from the memories.
With regards to Lady Wang's evasion, everyone naturally did not say anything more. They gathered together to eat a feast that was a specialty of the Mantua Villa.
At the dining table, everyone was talking and laughing, but most of them were words spoken by Wang Yuyan. It was because she, who had experienced such things for the first time during her time outside, was naturally also the one who was most moved.
After lunch, everyone went to rest under Lady Wang's arrangements. This was Ling Xiao's request, because he had been tormenting himself for several days and had yet to rest properly. This would affect his following actions.
The key point was that Murong Fu was already in his grasp, which also meant that more than half of Ling Xiao's plan was already successful.
"Madam Wang, is there any extra food?" Ling Xiao asked.
Hearing this, Madam Wang was stunned at first, but very quickly, she realized that there was still one more person in Mantua Villa who had not eaten yet.
"Sect Master Ling, I didn't think you would still remember that person." She was not very satisfied with Murong Fu's existence. If it were not for Ling Xiao's words, she would have personally killed Murong Fu. After all, Murong Fu had turned the Mantua Villa into a complete mess.
Ling Xiao knew that Lady Wang was prejudiced against Murong Fu, so he could only helplessly spread his hands and say: "After all, he is still useful to me. If I starve to death like this, it would not be worth it."
"There must be food, as for what Sect Master Ling wants to give him, he should go to the kitchen to have a look." Different from Ling Xiao, Madam Wang did not want to mention anything about this person who had opened the great array formation around Mantua Villa. Naturally, she did not want to think too much and discuss about it.
Ling Xiao understood Lady Wang's feelings, after thanking her, he left for the kitchen.
Very quickly, Ling Xiao brought a lunchbox to the place where Murong Fu was squatting.
At this time, Murong Fu was still blankly staring into the distance. His eyes were lifeless, it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Even though Ling Xiao had arrived, he remained unmoved.
Ling Xiao placed the lunchbox in front of Murong Fu, and said indifferently: "Eat, it's a huge loss if you're starving to death here."
Hearing that, Murong Fu raised his head stiffly, he looked at Ling Xiao, and then at the lunchbox in front of him, he could not help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.
Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao knew that Murong Fu still wanted to persevere. He shook his head and said, "Think about the price that you have paid just to live.
Murong Fu who was about to turn his head away heard these words, and was immediately stunned. No one knew what he was thinking, but his originally emotionless eyes suddenly lit up.
Ling Xiao naturally saw this, and nodded secretly, knowing that Murong Fu could still be saved.
"Since it's a meal cooked by the empress, it might not be as delicious as the one you ate in the mansion, but it's more than enough. You handle it yourself." With that, Ling Xiao turned and left.
Before they walked too far, a rustling sound came from behind Ling Xiao, followed by the sound of chewing. It seemed that Murong Fu was extremely hungry and did not care about the food in the lunchbox at all.
"To survive is a person's natural instinct, but to survive, one must pay the price for their past actions." Ling Xiao said to himself as he stood in front of the sea of flowers and gazed into the distance.
At this time, Wang Yuyan came over to Ling Xiao's side, and asked somewhat curiously: "Big Brother Ling Xiao, what are you daydreaming about here?"
"Nothing, just looking at the scenery. The sea of flowers in Mantua Villa is still very beautiful." Ling Xiao smiled.
Hearing that, Wang Yuyan could only stick out her tongue, and did not continue asking.
"Are you still going to follow me?" Ling Xiao caressed Wang Yuyan's little head and asked.
Hearing that, Wang Yuyan turned her head to look at Ling Xiao, and strongly nodded: "Of course, my mother agreed to it as well, and the outside world is truly very interesting."
"Alright, go wake up my disciples and prepare to leave." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Hearing that, Wang Yuyan's eyes immediately lit up, and she replied before running off. It seemed that she really wanted to take a look outside again.
Very quickly, everyone gathered in the courtyard, surrounding Ling Xiao and waiting for his orders.
"Yue Lao San, you and Duan Yu look at Murong Fu, his knee has been broken by me, and will not recover from it for a while. Take him, and go look for Murong Bo's grave." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, everyone was shocked, they never thought that Ling Xiao would actually want to touch Murong Bo's grave, he had to know, moving the grave of a dead person was taboo.
Ling Xiao could also see that these people were very afraid, and could not help but shake his head and say: "Of course I would not find a dead person for no reason. This was decided after careful consideration and investigation, then Murong Bo might not necessarily be in the grave."
When everyone heard this, they came to a realization.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Ling Xiao bid his farewell to Lady Wang.
"My daughter will have to trouble Sect Master Ling again." Madam Wang sent Ling Xiao to the Mantua Villa's door.
Ling Xiao shook his head and laughed: "It's just a small matter, and Yu Yan also has some abilities. In that previous battle of fighting, Yu Yan has also greatly broadened my horizons."
Upon hearing this, Lady Wang lovingly stroked Wang Yuyan's head, and said with a smile: "Yuyan is indeed very intelligent, but unfortunately, I can only teach her in this small villa. Things are naturally limited, so I will have to trouble Sect Master Ling for next."
Ling Xiao nodded his head: "Lady Wang, please rest assured. I will definitely do my best and properly guide Yuyan."
"Go on, follow Sect Master Ling closely on the way, you have to be obedient, okay?" Madam Wang patted Wang Yuyan's shoulder and said with a smile.
Wang Yuyan hugged Lady Wang unwillingly, then jogged to Ling Xiao's side.
Riding on the horse that Madam Wang prepared for them, they were prepared to head to Murong Bo's grave to investigate.
Because of the body condition of Murong Fu, Yue Lao San and Duan Yu were at the back of the group taking care of him. Naturally, Ling Xiao and the rest were leading the way ahead, because Murong Fu had already told them the specific location.
Jiu Mozhi hastened to Ling Xiao's side, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Sect Master Ling, we planned all this with Murong Fu, why is he still willing to tell us the location of his father's mausoleum?"
