Kong Qi took a red horse from his subordinate and led it to Linglong, "Young Palace Master, can you ride a horse?"

Linglong nodded, took the reins and climbed onto the horse's back, lowering her eyes to look at Kong Qi, "How many days will it take to reach Dongyun?"

Seeing Linglong mount the horse gracefully, Kong Qi stepped back a few steps and bent down slightly, "Replying to the young palace master, if you ride faster for half a month, your Qinggong will be shortened by half."

Linglong: "Qinggong, can you keep up with me?"

Hearing Linglong's self-proclaimed name, Kong Qi's pure face showed a gentle smile, "I am willing to give it a try."

Linglong retracted her gaze and said, "Okay, after we leave Nanling, you and I will go ahead with Qinggong."

Kong Qi: "I respect your order."

Linglong said nothing more, she pulled the reins and the horse started running.

The sound of hurried horse hooves came from near and far away.

In the attic, Ping An, dressed in white, knelt on one knee and raised his hand to salute in the direction where Linglong left.

"Farewell, Palace Master."

??

The morning mist is spreading, and the fragrance of flowers is accompanied by moisture.

Bang... The sound of the door being opened forcefully startled the man in white standing in the yard.

Ping An withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned around quickly.

When he saw Zi'an, who was pale, wearing only a white shirt and looked disheveled, he was shocked.

He quickly ran forward, supported his brother-in-law who stumbled out of the room, and asked worriedly, "Brother-in-law, what happened?"

When Zi'an saw Ping'an, he thought it was Linglong. He was happy at first, but when he smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, the joy on his face became forced.

"Brother, where is my wife?"

The words were spoken in a hurry, and the voice was incredibly hoarse.

He wanted to see Linglong off, but now he couldn't even see her.

Hearing Zi'an's voice was not right, Ping'an thought his brother-in-law was sick. Just as he was about to ask, he accidentally saw the red marks on his neck. He understood, his cheeks flushed, and he whispered, "Brother-in-law, my sister left last night."

Facing her brother-in-law's lost starry eyes, Ping An coaxed: "Brother-in-law, can we go back to the house first?"

Zi'an nodded listlessly and walked back following Ping'an's force.

Seeing such a brother-in-law, Ping An felt bad, and his voice became softer again: "Sister was afraid that she couldn't bear to leave brother-in-law, so she left at night. Brother-in-law, please don't blame sister."

Zian shook his head, "Not surprising."

He would never blame Linglong, he just felt reluctant and regretful that he didn't see her off.

When he returned to the inner room, he saw Ping An trying to dress himself. Zi An avoided him and took the red brocade robe from him, saying in a serious tone, "Brother, these are not things you should do."

Family members shouldn't do these things to serve others.

Ping An blinked and said, "Okay, I'll get someone to come in and help."

Zi'an nodded and said gloomily, "Okay, thank you for your help, brother."

Seeing this, Ping An had nothing to say and left the room.

Zi'an threw himself on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes and placing his hand on his heart.

Sister, An An misses you.

A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

Sister, missing you is really painful.

"Dong dong..."

"Your subordinate Ming Si requests to see the Lord."

Ming Si's clear voice sounded outside the door, interrupting Zi'an's thoughts.

Sitting up: "Come in."

One word, his voice was extremely hoarse.

Zian was stunned, his cheeks burning as he thought about what had caused this.

I felt an itch on my ankle, and when I lowered my eyes, a soft white ball came into view.

Zi'an bent down and picked her up, his almond-shaped eyes slightly curved: "Le Feng, you're back."

The white tiger's golden eyes, like glass, looked at its master, whose eyes and nose were red, and blinked. It then leaned over with its furry head and rubbed its master's cheek in concern.

"Ahhh——"

"Don't worry, Master. Mistress will be safe."

The child's voice echoed in Zi'an's mind, causing Ping'an's frown to fade. He responded absentmindedly in his mind.

It turned out to be a blood contract. It knew a little about what I was thinking.

Thinking of Linglong is secondary. Worrying about her is what I am most concerned about.

He placed the white tiger on the couch and stood up, just in time Ming Si came in.

"Master, let me change your clothes for you."

Zi'an nodded and raised his hand to allow Ming Si to move.

However, the faint smell of blood emanating from Ming Si reminded him of what happened not long ago.

He lowered his eyes to look at Ming Si who was adjusting his belt for him, his gaze fell on his baby face, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Ming Si, I'm sorry about what happened two days ago."

Ming Si, who had fastened his belt, was a little confused when he heard this. He stood up straight, took a few steps back, and said softly, "You are the master. Whatever you do is right. You don't need to apologize to anyone."

He paused, his round eyes fixed on the gentle and well-behaved master in front of him, and asked blankly: "But please forgive me, my master! I would like to ask, what is the matter that requires you to apologize to me?"

Zi'an put down his hand, looked at Ming Si strangely, and walked towards the dressing table.

"Your injury."

Ming Si understood clearly that they were being punished because their master was injured.

Following the master, he explained: "This is because our subordinates failed to protect us properly. The master is not at fault."

At first, he was not convinced by the punishment! But during his training in Wanlong Tower, he figured it out.

If he had finished his work at that time and could have returned to his master quickly, nothing would have happened to his master!

He has to accept this punishment!

Not only did he admit his guilt, he also had to thank his master, because this punishment not only made him understand a lot, but also improved his strength.

However, although he was not present when his master was in trouble, he would be useless if he could not protect a master who was so delicate and precious with so many top-notch secret guards in the dark.

They should be punished too!

Zi'an sat in front of the dressing table, looking at himself in the mirror. His face was pale, his nose was red, and he looked broken and pitiful. His eyes fell on Ming Si who was approaching.

"My wife is very happy to have you."

Indeed, the wife's ability to win people's hearts is truly extraordinary.

Ming Si smiled and said, "My Lord, you got it wrong. It is a great fortune for us to meet the Palace Master and you, my Lord."

Entering Lousha Palace at the beginning was an equal benefit, but later on, it became a favor of recognition.

Hearing this, Zian's smile became much more genuine.

"Dong dong..."

"Master, can we serve the meal?"

A pleasant male voice sounded outside the door, and Zian felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

The next moment, Ming Si pointed out the identity of the visitor to him.

"Master, this is the Jiyang branch of Lousha Palace, the servant you left behind."

As Ming Si spoke, he bent down, picked up the jade comb on the table, came behind his master, and carefully combed his hair.

Zi'an thought of the little servant that Linglong had chosen for him at the beginning in Lousha Palace. He was about to speak loudly but was stopped by Ming Si.

"My lord, your throat is uncomfortable. Please call me."

Zi'an was silent and embarrassed.

Nodding, he waved his hands helplessly.

Seeing this, Ming Si raised his voice and said, "Serve the meal."

She just stared at her beautiful master in the mirror with her round eyes.

Thousands of words can only be summed up in one sentence: My Lord is so beautiful!

Even if Zian tried to ignore it, he would have noticed this burning gaze.

He sighed, turned sideways and took the jade comb from Ming Si's hand, "Little Si, wipe your saliva."
