Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"I have something to do and need to leave for a while. I don't know when I'll be back. To avoid endangering your lives, I'm giving you these antidotes."

Zhong Ran looked at them calmly and said, "Don't bully others in the future, and don't take these antidotes for yourself. If I find out, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Even if I leave, King Ning will send people to keep an eye on you. As long as you behave yourself, you'll be fine."

She was afraid that after they got the antidote, they would turn around and coerce the rest of the people, especially the five herbal medicine merchants, into doing their bidding, so she made such an explanation.

After experiencing the mundane world for so long, she now understands the dangers of the world.

Uncle He quickly responded: "Miss, I dare not."

He originally had some little thoughts in his mind, but Zhong Ran seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, so how could he dare to have any more?

"Miss, have a safe trip. Remember to come find us when you come back. We are willing to continue to follow you and do things for you."

Jiang Zihong expressed his loyalty. In fact, if Zhong Ran asked them to charge forward and lead the battle, he would be willing to do so.

According to their guess, the young lady must have had a miraculous encounter and was the legendary immortal cultivator.

If she had just obtained it, they would definitely want to snatch such an opportunity away.

But now the ladies have grown to a height that they cannot reach, and they just want to hold on to their thighs.

Zhong Ran looked at him twice, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else.

"Miss, I think you still need some medicinal herbs, right? I'll take you there."

Uncle He also put away the pill bottle and took her to the room where the medicinal materials were stored.

Zhong Ran was very satisfied with his attitude. After collecting the herbs in the room, he said goodbye to them and left.

Not long after she left here, she felt as if someone was watching her.

The feeling was very vague. If it weren't for her sensitive five senses, she really wouldn't be able to sense the vague murderous intent.

Her face was grim. These people really refused to give up and kept chasing her again and again, like annoying flies.

She was walking alone on the way back to the mansion, but she didn't walk fast, as she wanted to catch the person behind her.

But the other party was very patient and never took action.

Zhong Ran frowned and tried to kill him, but the other party retreated again.

After that, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.

But instead of relaxing, she frowned even more.

After a pause, she turned and walked towards Prince Ning's Mansion.

At this time, she did not knock on the door and enter through the main gate, but instead rushed in through the wall, avoiding the guards all the way and rushed to Prince Ning's room.

Prince Ning was about to go to sleep when he suddenly sensed something and sat up abruptly. He was about to take his sword but suddenly smiled helplessly and walked over to open the door.

Zhong Ran saw him, paused, and then walked in.

"Ran Ran, do you miss me? Why are you coming to see me at this time?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. After putting aside all the mundane affairs, he felt much more relaxed.

After his private property was slowly sold, he took his junior sister away from here, and from then on he wandered around the world, looking for a way to return to Fengming Continent.

Zhong Ran blushed slightly, but said seriously, "Brother, I just felt like someone was following me. It was very stealthy, almost imperceptible, and I could sense the murderous intent."

"But I tried to force the person out but failed."

Mu Jinning's expression suddenly turned cold. He pulled her to sit down and pondered for a moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a killer."

Before taking action, experienced killers will carefully observe their targets and look for the most appropriate opportunity to strike.

They won't act rashly unless they are sure.

Zhong Ran tried to find the other party, but forced him to retreat. The next time he appears, he will probably send a killer with more powerful means.

"Ranran, how about we get married first and then leave?"

He was not at all comfortable with her living in the Marquis' Mansion anymore and really hoped that she would stay in the Prince's Mansion instead.

Zhong Ran rolled his eyes at him: "No."

This body is only fourteen years old, how can you get married?

In her previous life, she had never even experienced the feeling of being loved until she was eighteen years old.

"In my previous life, when I was a child, my ancestor told me that in order to cultivate, one must be brave and forge ahead, and not be timid."

"If I was scared away by just a few ordinary assassins, then why should I cultivate the Great Dao? Why should I still look for a way back to Fengming Continent?"

Just stay here, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.

But is it possible?

impossible.

If she wants to practice and seek revenge, she needs to become independent and strong.

Otherwise, how could she take revenge when those people in the Lin family were so powerful?

Prince Ning stared at her closely, and at this moment, the little girl exuded a different aura.

Even he couldn't help but be impressed by this momentum.

"Okay, then be careful. This is a protective jade pendant. Wear it on your body."

Zhong Ran paused and reached out to take it.

The world of cultivation is full of dangers, and one may be killed or robbed of treasures at any time, so there are many ways to protect oneself.

Although she didn't think she would need the protective jade pendant, it would be a good thing if it could make him feel at ease.

"I'll send someone to investigate and find out which assassin organization it is and who hired the killer."

Mu Jinning was thinking in his mind who had the greatest possibility. It seemed that the Prime Minister's Mansion, King Cheng, and even the Xiao family were all possibilities.

As for the Zhong family? They've been very quiet recently. Besides, hiring a killer isn't easy; it requires significant financial resources.

However, we cannot completely rule them out. What if they counterattack before they die?

"Forget it, forget it. No matter who invited them, just kill them."

Zhong Ran paused and thought of something: "Brother, have you ever heard of soul-stealing?"

"That is an extremely advanced technique, and it leans towards the evil path. It requires at least the cultivation to reach the level of Lianxu to achieve it."

Mu Jinning reacted after she finished speaking: "Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing. I found a book of miscellaneous notes from the Imperial Master a while ago. There was a record in it, but it wasn't detailed."

"Ran Ran, the Imperial Master must be a person of evil ways. Don't get involved with his things."

Zhong Ran nodded lightly, stood up and walked outside: "I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

"I'll send a carriage to take you back." Mu Jinning stood up and walked to her side, raising his hand to gently stroke her hair.

Zhong Ran glanced at him, and the two walked out together. The atmosphere was a little subtle.

When the servants in the palace saw him walking out with Zhong Ran, they were stunned for a moment.

When did Miss Zhong come? How come they didn't know anything about it?

"No need for a carriage. I can just walk."

She always felt that carriages were not very convenient, especially when there were killers lurking in the dark.

If you have cultivated spiritual consciousness, it is another matter. Although you can use soul power now, it is soul power and it is impossible to use it all the time.

Xiao Ding has been in a deep sleep for the past two days and cannot remind her, so she has to be careful on her own.

She declined Prince Ning's offer to escort her and walked towards the Marquis's Mansion by herself.
