When she heard Ye Shan's name, Zi Ling's heart filled with rage. After a long time, she finally calmed down. She slowly turned around and looked at Qi Hao. His expression was like the drifting clouds in the sky, and the words that came out of his mouth were also unintentionally spoken.

But for some reason, Zi Ling had a strong feeling that Qi Hao knew a lot of things about her!

A wall of caution suddenly appeared in his heart, and his expression also became distant, "Then I'll have to trouble you to send someone to deliver those three carts of ores to the Divine Profound Sect. I know about the rest."

After saying that, he walked towards the end of the street without looking back.

Qi Hao, who was on the wheelchair, kept staring at that back view until it disappeared. His calm face finally showed some emotion, but it was impossible to fathom.

Zi Ling's brows were knitted tightly. She really did not like the feeling of someone spying on her. But Qi Hao just happened to give her this feeling. Qi Hao's eyes seemed to be able to see through her body and see through her soul. She couldn't guess who he was, but he clearly understood everything!

He was very dangerous! At this moment, Zi Ling decided to stay far away from the other party. It would be best if they never interacted.

At this moment, a voice filled with pleasant surprise was suddenly heard from the right, "Miss!"

Zi Ling's footsteps paused. She turned her head to look and coincidentally met with Zhu Er's pleasantly surprised gaze.

"Miss, I've finally found you."

"You're looking for me?" As she spoke, she placed her gaze on a little girl beside Pearl. The girl had an exquisite appearance, but her clothes were tattered. At this moment, she was timidly staring at herself.

"I went to the Divine Profound Sect to look for you, and I heard that you were leaving for Qingfeng Town. I then came out to try my luck to see if I could meet you. I didn't expect that I would actually meet you." Her large eyes were filled with joy, and she did not pretend at all.

Zi Ling nodded slightly, "But has there been any progress?"

Only after hearing that did Zhu Er's expression recede, "I saw Hong Rui secretly meeting up with Ye Zhen. Although I didn't hear any important news, I think I should tell you about this first."

Ye Zhen... Ye Ling's father, Ye Tian's elder brother. Could it really be him?

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Before he could think about it carefully, a large group of people rushed over and surrounded the three people. Zi Ling raised her brows and calmly looked at a youth with a face full of anger.

The youth walked out of the encirclement with his wand at his waist, staring at Pearl with an unfriendly gaze, "I told you to mind your own business! I shall see if you can escape Gu Yue City today. "

Zhu'er was not afraid of anything, especially her young miss who bolstered her courage behind her back. She immediately turned around and said, "This is none of your business. With just a bunch of three-legged cats, you want to take advantage of this young mistress? You're courting death!"

The youth seemed to have already seen Zhu Er's venomous tongue, and he wasn't surprised, but he was still furious, "Capture her, I want to cut her into ten thousand pieces to feed to the magical beasts!"

"Let the young mistress film you!" Pearl had a smile on her face, but she was extremely cautious in her actions.

Zi Ling stood there motionlessly, and at this moment, no one moved against her. Her gaze landed on the little girl again, and she could clearly feel her unease and fear.

The little girl lowered her head and tried her best to tug at her wrinkled clothes.

The battle over there was earth-shattering, but there was no movement from that side until the two of them quietly approached the little girl, hoping to capture her while she wasn't paying attention.

Zi Ling waved her hand and the two wind blades swirled like a gust of wind, directly blowing the two of them away. Fresh blood flowed from her arm …

Seeing Zi Ling's actions, the little girl timidly took two steps toward her. Perhaps it was because it was frightened by the icy cold expression on Zi Ling's face, it only took two steps before it stopped.

Zhu'er's strength had clearly risen a lot compared to the past, and it seemed that the pill he gave her had some effect. However, this group of people was not weak either. If it was only two or three people, Zhu'er could easily take care of them. There were clearly no less than ten people here, and gradually … "while Pearl was feeling a little overwhelmed...

Zhu Er was almost sliced by a sword. Her lotus-colored dress was lifted and an extremely beautiful figure gently stood in front of Zhu Er. Her slender fingers held onto the hilt of her sword. It looked extremely casual, but the person holding the sword could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Everyone was stunned when they saw such a beautiful woman. The young man pointed at Zi Ling and said, "I advise you to step back to the side now, or I will catch you with me."

Looking at the figure in front of her, Pearl thought to herself: I knew Master wouldn't let anyone bully me. At this moment, he was even more elated. A oval face appeared from behind Zi Ling as she stuck out her tongue at the youth in a malicious manner. "If you have the ability, come and catch this young mistress …"

The youth was angered by Zhu Er to the point that he wanted to jump up and down, but because of the purple silk, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The man holding the hilt of the sword was sweating profusely, but the point of the sword did not budge in his hand. Zi Ling lifted her eyelids and flicked her delicate finger, "Scram!"

"Bang …"

The person holding the sword fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The youth pulled the fallen man up and was about to launch an attack when Zi Ling's ice-cold gaze swept over him, "I don't want to repeat myself. If you want to know the result, then give it a try."

The man didn't dare to act rashly again. While he retreated, he said: "That girl is wanted by Phoenix Mountain, I want to see how long you can protect her."

Why was it Phoenix Mountain again? The hostility in Zi Ling's eyes became denser. Originally, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now that Zhu'er had already intervened and didn't like being threatened, she decided to make her move. Who knew that this matter had to do with Phoenix Mountain and Ye Shan!? This had to be done!

As long as it was something that could cause trouble for Ye Shan, she would be willing to do it.

"Go back and tell that little pheasant that Ye Ling is here. Tell her to come and get him at any time, and I'll accompany her to the end!" With that, he waved his hand and the wave of hot air sent the group of people flying up to the sky and smashed them to the ground a hundred feet away. All of them were crippled even if they didn't die …

"Wow, master, you're really ruthless!" Pearl's burning gaze was fixed on Zi Ling. In the past, although Ye Ling was known as the number one genius of the Anze Continent, he was often too indecisive and gave others the opportunity to harm him.

But now, after such a cruel rebirth, her heart had become as hard as steel. To be honest, she preferred her current master.

After scaring away the group of people, Zi Ling slowly turned around, looked at the little girl not far away, then looked at Zhu'er, "You'd better explain to me what's going on."

Zhu'er chuckled, "Is that what you saw?"

"Hmm?" Zi Ling looked at her with a slightly domineering gaze.

Zhu'er stuck out her tongue, her playful expression fading as she beckoned the little girl to her side.

She rubbed the top of the little girl's head, "On my way to find you, I met a group of people who were talking about Ling'er's special physique. The Phoenix Mountain's Profound King loved children with special physiques and said that he would send Ling'er over, while Ling'er was hiding in a corner crying in a low voice."

Pearl paused, "I was about to leave, but the child kept looking at me with those eyes, as if he wanted to ask for help... In the end, she couldn't hold it in, "Pearl spread out her hands," I saved her, and now I know that those people severely injured her grandfather and took her away. Just as I was about to bring her to find grandpa, these people appeared again and surrounded us. It is fortunate that little miss took action, otherwise, Zhu'er would have suffered a loss today. "

"You also know that you will be at a disadvantage. You clearly don't have enough strength, but you still meddle in other people's business!" Zi Ling glanced at her, then shifted her gaze to Ling'er. Just by looking at her body, one wouldn't be able to tell that she had a unique physique, at least, there weren't any profound energy fluctuations.

"I want to look for grandpa!" Ling'er had endured for a long time before finally being able to hold it in. Her sparkling tears caused two white lines to appear on her black face.

"Alright, we'll take you to see grandpa right now." Then, she remembered that her master was still here, so she turned around with a fawning smile and said, "Master, why don't you wait for me in the vicinity for a while, I'll go help Zhu'er find her grandpa and then come back."

Zi Ling gently nodded. Without saying anything else, she turned around and entered a teahouse.

"Ling'er, where is your grandfather? Is he far away?" Pearl asked the little girl, lowering her head.

"It's not far, it's outside the city." Ling'er seemed to be very worried, and she held onto Zhu'er's hand as they walked towards the outside of the city.

Zhu'er understood her mood and did not say much. The two of them sped up their pace and soon arrived at a shabby thatched hut.

"Grandpa …" Ling'er let go of Zhu Er's hand, and the little figure immediately entered the thatched cottage.

"Grandpa …" Before Pearl had even entered the door, she heard Ling'er's loud weeping voice.

She lifted the ragged curtain and looked up to see the old man lying on the uneven ground.

The old man's clothes were tattered and his face was covered in wrinkles. At this moment, his pair of muddy eyes stared benevolently at Ling'er. He tried his best to touch Ling'er's face, but couldn't reach her.

Ling'er cried loudly and held the old man's hand. "Grandfather, Ling'er is here. Ling'er won't leave grandpa."

Tears fell from the old man's muddy eyes. He slowly turned his head to Pearl and said with great effort: "Aunt …" Mother, please … I beg of you. "

Pearl took two steps forward and crouched beside the old man, holding his other hand. She was an orphan, and aside from the previous Madam, there was only one other relative. She could feel Ling'er's pain, so she reached out and held the old man's other hand, "If there's anything you need to say, please say it slowly. I promise you anything that I can do."

Ling'er stood to the side, wiping away her tears as she sobbed softly.

"Child, don't cry …" Finished speaking, Ling'er's grandfather heavily coughed twice and even spat out a mouthful of blood. "Miss, you …" You are a good person, I want to ask for your help... "Help me take care of Ling'er."

Zhu Er had a troubled expression on her face. She had to hide her identity in the Ye family carefully. How could she bring Ling'er with her?

Seemingly noticing Zhu'er's hesitation, the elder became somewhat anxious, "Lady …"

Even though Ling'er was young, she could still feel her grandfather's weakness and couldn't stop crying. She looked at Zhu'er as if she was grabbing onto her lifeline, "Big sis, I beg you, please save grandpa. Ling'er will do anything for you."

She really didn't know which of these two grandsons she should agree to. Moreover, none of them were things that she could easily do.

She held Ling'er's grandfather's hand and asked, "Grandfather, my master is very powerful. Perhaps she has a way to save you. At that time, how about you take care of Ling'er yourself?"

After saying that, Ling'er was stunned for a moment. There were still tears on her face, but she revealed a look of joy.

"Don't be too happy yet. You have to ask my master about this first." Pearl felt a little apprehensive. She could feel that her master's heart was cold and detached, and that he would not easily save this grandfather-grandson pair.
