Xie Leqing took a deep breath.

If an accident had not happened during this trip, she would never have known in her life that the Xie family members who died on the road of exile actually returned to the birthplace of the Xie family.

If I'm not mistaken, the place where they were buried is the Xie family's ancestral tomb.

Gu Feiyan loves the eldest brother of the Xie family so much!

"Okay." Nangong Hao answered straightforwardly.

The uncles and aunts of the Xie family are his elders. Even if he did not have this relationship with Xie Leqing, he should still go to pay tribute when passing by this place.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

Nangong Hao wanted to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Mom, it's me. Are you asleep?"

Nangong Wanning's voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Xie Leqing quickly reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "It's Ning'er, let her in."

Nangong Hao's raised hand froze slightly, but he immediately stood up to open the door.

Nangong Wanning didn't seem surprised to see Nangong Hao behind the door. She walked past him and towards Xie Leqing. "It's so late, why isn't mother asleep yet? Where's my silly brother?"

Xie Leqing glared at her in anger, "How can you say that about your own brother?"

Nangong Wanning curled her lips. "If he wasn't stupid, why wouldn't he be in Mother's room right now? It was already arranged. Wanwan and I share a room, and he shares a room with you. Now he's hiding in some corner somewhere. If he's not stupid, who is?"

She secretly glanced at Xie Leqing, and seeing that she was smiling, she continued, "By the way, mother, let's go to bed early tonight and go to the princess's mansion early tomorrow morning."

"Going to the Princess's Mansion?"

Xie Leqing was surprised and glanced at Nangong Hao, then asked, "People from the Princess's Mansion..."

"Don't worry, mother. The Princess's Mansion is now under the management of the Prince of Qin's men. Wanwan said it's too late tonight and asked us to go there tomorrow."

Xie Leqing glanced towards the door, "Where is Wan'er?"

"Prince Qin encountered some difficulties, and Wanwan and cousin Ye rushed to rescue him."

Then she briefly recounted the news she had heard from Lao Huwei and what had just happened downstairs.

Upon hearing that Gu Beichen had an accident at the Xie family's ancestral tomb, Xie Leqing and Nangong Hao's expressions suddenly changed.

One can imagine how powerful the formation is that can take away the luck of the entire Xie family. If the formation really exists, King Qin is trapped in the formation and is probably in great danger!

"What's going on? Why did King Qin suddenly go to the Xie family's ancestral tomb?" Xie Leqing was very confused.

Nangong Wanning shook her head. "I don't know about this either. If Mother wants to know, I guess we can only wait for Wanwan and the others to bring the person back and ask."

Canglang only said that Gu Beichen was trapped in Dongjiling, but he didn't have time to explain why he suddenly ran there.

However, it's a random guess that he must have gone there because he heard that the Xie family's ancestral tomb in Dongjiling was haunted.

Xie Leqing was fidgeting, "No, there's a fortune-stealing formation there, it's too dangerous..."

Tianlan went there to save people, why did Wan'er follow him to join in the fun?

She looked at Nangong Hao, pursed her lips, but couldn't say a word.

"Qing'er, don't worry. I'll go after them now. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely bring the children back."

Xie Leqing's eyes were hot, "You..."

Wan'er and Tianlan are her blood relatives and are very important to her, but the man in front of her is also the blood relative of Che'er and Ning'er.

How could she be so selfish as to let him trade his life for theirs?

Nangong Wanning suddenly said, "Stop the you-and-me talk. You said you're going to chase him now. Where are you going to chase him?"

"Since Dongji Ridge is in the east of the city, I will naturally go directly to the east gate to wait."

Nangong Wanning frowned. Although her name had been registered with the government and she had changed her surname, she still hadn't acknowledged him as her father. How could he be so shameless as to call himself "father"?

Seeing Nangong Wanning's strange expression, Nangong Hao became suspicious and asked, "Aren't they going to the princess's mansion first before leaving the city?"

"Ning'er..."

Nangong Wanning came back to her senses, "Don't worry, mother. My cousin from the Ye family is very capable. With him around, no matter what the problem is, it won't be a problem."

Previously at the Jokhang Temple, the prince's cousin and Canglang accidentally broke into the formation within the formation, but he still managed to bring Canglang out easily, didn't he?

No matter how powerful the formation of Dongjiling is, it will definitely not be able to defeat him.

"But……"

"Mother, have you forgotten where the Ye family cousin came from?"

Nangong Wanning gently shook Xie Leqing's arm. "He came from the so-called Fairy Island. Think about it, if he is a spiritual cultivator and can't even break the formation set up by ordinary people, then what kind of cultivator is he?"

What Ning'er said seems to be quite right.

But she was still worried.

Xie Leqing looked at Nangong Hao and said, "Why don't you go with them and wait for them at the foot of the mountain."

Nangong Hao was about to nod in agreement when he noticed Nangong Wanning glaring at him from an angle where Xie Leqing couldn't see. "I asked Wanwan to go with them, but she refused. If you go with them like this, you really won't hold them back."

Nangong Hao froze. He was the King of Pingnan in Nanyao Kingdom. He had been invincible on the battlefield many times and had never been defeated. But today, he was despised by his own daughter?

"Your father is no coward. As a son of the Nangong family, I have the passion to fight and will never hold others back if something really happens!"

If she and Che'er hadn't called him father yet, she would definitely teach her how to respect her elders!

More importantly, he is still in the probation period at Qing'er.

As long as Qing'er doesn't marry him, the relationship between them will be full of variables.

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry!

Otherwise, after arriving at Jingsi Island, if this heartless kid complains to the elders, how can he get the support of Qing'er's relatives?

Nangong Hao's mind was in turmoil. He looked at Xie Leqing with a face full of grievance, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Ning'er, how can you speak like that?"

Xie Leqing glared at Nangong Wanning and expressed his concerns, "That formation was able to take away the entire Xie family's luck back then, which shows how terrifying the strength of the person who set it up was. Even though your cousin Tianlan is quite powerful, he's still a little young after all. He might lack some experience in fighting against that old monster, the Japanese Imperial Master."

She felt that even if Nangong Hao was not as strong as Ye Tianlan, he could still help them to some extent with his knowledge. With him going with them, one more person would mean more strength.

"Mother, you actually treated me harshly for this man?"

Nangong Wanning looked aggrieved and secretly glanced at Xie Leqing, "Wanwan said that we should rest early tonight and meet up at the Princess's Residence tomorrow. Maybe they will have returned by the time we get there.

"Besides, my cousin from the Ye family has been wandering alone for fifteen years in search of Wanwan. Do you think he would lack experience?

"Besides, since it's a formation that can steal people's luck, it's not something that just anyone can break. He doesn't understand formations and he's not a Taoist priest, so wouldn't it be a waste of effort if he went there?"

For some reason, she just wanted to argue with people tonight!

After saying that, without waiting for Xie Leqing to speak, he turned around and walked quickly towards the door, "Guangguang is with Chuntao, right? I'll go and call him over now. Mother, remember to rest early."

Her only brother changed his name, but Guangguang will always be the nicest name in her heart.

Nangong Hao looked at Nangong Wanning's leaving back angrily, and when he turned around to look at Xie Leqing, his expression quickly turned into resentment.

Xie Leqing glared at him angrily, "You're fighting with your own daughter. You're really going backwards as you get older."

Nangong Hao opened his mouth, and Xie Leqing's voice sounded again, "Alright, you should go back to your room and rest. Didn't you hear Ning'er say that we will go to the Princess's Mansion early tomorrow morning?"

Nangong Hao looked at Xie Leqing deeply, walked to the door, and looked back at her resentfully, "Then you should go to bed early. I'll be next door. Remember to call me if you need anything."

Only after seeing Xie Leqing nod did he step over the threshold and walk out.

……

The atmosphere in the Princess Mansion in Yong'an City is not very good.

The haze has been covering the entire mansion for five days.

Five days ago, Gu Beichen left the princess's mansion early in the morning and never came back. Even Canglang, who went out with him, did not send back any news.

Xuan Bin was pacing around in the yard anxiously. He had been unable to sit still these days, let alone lie down and sleep.

He came here with his master, but now his master is nowhere to be seen and he doesn't even know where to find him.

Suddenly, the doorman came hurriedly, "Master Xuan Bin, there is a girl outside the door."
