"Rustle..." is the sound of stepping on leaves, someone is coming.

Qi Runyu looked up when he heard the voice, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards him in the dim forest.

When the people got closer, Qi Runyu could vaguely recognize who the people who came back were. It was Mo Lintian and a little girl.

When he saw the little girl's face clearly, a hint of astonishment flashed in Qi Runyu's eyes. He had just seen this little girl a few days ago. He still remembered the crime scene that day. He had a very deep impression of her.

Unexpectedly, the person Lin Tian went to find was her!

Qi Runyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. However, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, almost like his pupils were shaking. He couldn't believe what he saw.

It is really shocking that His Royal Highness Prince Lin, who has always been aloof from women and keeps himself clean, actually takes the initiative to hold a girl's hand one day.

You know, Mo Lintian not only has a noble status, but also has good talent and is handsome. He is the object of admiration of the young ladies from the major families in the imperial capital.

Unfortunately, the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless. In Mo Lintian's eyes, those ladies from noble families were no different from air. This made Qi Runyu think that Mo Lintian liked Long Yang.

Now it seems that Mo Lintian is not indifferent to women, he just has special preferences and is very likely a pedophile.

When the two of them approached, Qi Runyu hurriedly greeted Su Qingning with a smile, "Hi, little girl, we meet again!"

Su Qingning looked at Qi Runyu expressionlessly without saying a word, but just nodded slightly in response.

"Uh..." Feeling Su Qingning's cold attitude, the smile on Qi Runyu's face suddenly became a little awkward. He thought to himself: This girl is really cold and aloof, just as difficult to get along with as Mo Lintian. No wonder they can get together. This is probably because they have similar temperaments and appreciate each other!

Su Qingning looked up at the sky which was already getting light, and knew that the effect of the sleeping powder was about to wear off, and Su Han and the others would soon wake up; so, she started to drive them away.

"Your Highness Prince Lin, it's almost dawn. Could you please step aside for a moment?" Su Qingning looked at Mo Lintian and said bluntly.

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Mo Lintian felt amused. This little girl was too quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it!

However, Mo Lintian also knew what Su Qingning meant. The people in the Su family were about to wake up, and it was indeed inappropriate for him and Qi Runyu to continue staying here.

"Okay! Heartless little girl, I'll do as you say."

Mo Lintian raised his hand and rubbed Su Qingning's hair lovingly, then tilted his head and glanced at Qi Runyu indifferently, saying two words indifferently, "Let's go."

"..."

Seeing that Mo Lintian was doting on Su Qingning but indifferent towards himself, Qi Runyu twitched his lips speechlessly. He really wanted to ask, Your Highness Prince Lin, did you learn how to change your face specifically?

Mo Lintian and Qi Runyu left together, but they did not go far. Instead, they hid their breath and hid in a big tree ten meters away, quietly observing the movements of Su Qingning.

Su Qingning glanced vaguely at the tree where they were hiding, then silently walked to Yun Ruopiao's side, lay down, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Tsk, why do I feel like she's discovered us?" Qi Runyu murmured in confusion.

"There is no doubt that Xiao Ning'er discovered us." Mo Lintian confirmed his guess.

"Ah?" Qi Runyu looked at Mo Lintian in surprise, "Is that little girl so powerful?"

Mo Lintian glanced at Qi Runyu with disdain, his eyes seemed to say: "Are you talking nonsense?"

Qi Runyu also realized that he was probably asking nonsense. He once again couldn't help but recall the crime scene he witnessed that day, and suddenly felt awe for Su Qingning.

About half a minute later, the sky finally lit up with a hint of white, the sun slowly rose, and the morning sunlight shone on the sleeping members of the Su family.

Su Han's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. The confusion in his mind made him realize that something was wrong.

"Oh no!" Su Han quickly turned over and sat up, looking around with cold eyes and some anxiety. When he saw that Su Qingning's family was safe and sound, he was really relieved.

But soon, he discovered that one person was missing from their group. Zhang Qing, who was on guard last night, was missing.

Su Han immediately called everyone up to ask, but after asking around, everyone looked confused. No one knew where Zhang Qing had gone because they slept very soundly last night and didn't hear any movement.

Su Han was a very vigilant person. Normally, when he was at the Su family, he slept very lightly, waking up immediately at the slightest movement, let alone in this dangerous mountain range. But last night, he slept soundly, just like everyone else.

This situation was clearly wrong. The only possibility was that they had been drugged by a sleeping pill. But who had drugged them? What was his purpose?

Su Han's first suspect was Zhang Qing, who had volunteered to keep watch the previous night. He had long known that Zhang Qing was a member of the Su family's second branch, and that he had come to Anyang County with him to deal with Su Qingning's family.

But now, Su Qingning's family is safe and sound, but Zhang Qing is missing.

Su Han cast a suspicious look at Su Qingning's family. The mentally retarded Yun Ruopiao, the young Su Qingning and Su Qingyu, could not have committed the crime; the only one who had the ability to do it was Aunt Zhang.

However, Aunt Zhang couldn't practice cultivation and was just an ordinary person. How could she possibly deal with Zhang Qing, a ninth-level combat master? Moreover, the food from last night was prepared by the guards. Aunt Zhang had never touched it and had no chance to drug it.

Su Han analyzed it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He had no idea that he had already ruled out the correct answer. Of course, most people wouldn't imagine that a ten-year-old girl could kill a ninth-level warrior.

Mo Lintian, who was hiding in a tree, kept his eyes on Su Qingning. Looking at the little girl with an expressionless face and confused eyes, his expression involuntarily became gentle and doting.

Oh, is this little girl trying to play innocent and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger? How cute and funny!

Finally, Su Han asked others to look for Zhang Qing around, but they couldn't find him after searching for the whole morning. Everyone knew that Zhang Qing was probably in great danger.

After this incident, all the guards became alert. They no longer trusted anyone except themselves. In their hearts, apart from themselves, other guards might be the murderer of Zhang Qing.

It has to be said that everyone excluded Su Qingning's family, and they missed the perfect opportunity to see the truth.
