After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

At the edge of a quiet mountain forest, Murong Ling'er and Chu Lingfeng were standing under an ancient tree and talking.

The fog had not yet completely dissipated, and the hazy air seemed to have covered them with a veil.

Murong Ling'er has a graceful figure, with a look of coldness and intelligence in her eyes, while Chu Lingfeng has an upright figure and extraordinary heroic air, but his expression is a little restrained and calm.

Suddenly, Sun Ying approached with light steps. She was wearing a light pink dress, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze.

The moment her gaze met Murong Ling'er, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed across her eyes, and her body paused slightly, as if she was in a trance.

After a moment, she came back to her senses. She turned towards Chu Lingfeng, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant ceremony. She said softly and gratefully, "Mr. Chu, I am truly grateful for your help last night. I will always remember this great kindness."

Chu Lingfeng was concentrating on the conversation with Murong Ling'er and did not expect Sun Ying to come suddenly.

His eyes subconsciously swept towards Murong Ling'er, only to see that her expression was calm, like a bottomless pool, with no expression of joy or anger.

Chu Lingfeng then turned his head and nodded slightly towards Sun Ying, his expression slightly cold as he responded, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Miss Sun, don't take it to heart."

His lukewarm attitude made Sun Ying's heart sink. She bit her lower lip lightly and was about to speak again when Chu Yinyin jumped out like a lively little deer.

Chu Yinyin grabbed Sun Ying's arm and said anxiously with an anxious look on her face: "Miss Sun, the food is ready! Let's go back and eat! It's very cold in the mountains in the early morning. If we delay, the food will get cold soon." After that, she dragged Sun Ying back without saying anything.

While Chu Yinyin was pulling, she was secretly watching Murong Ling'er's expression out of the corner of her eye. She looked as if she was afraid of angering someone.

Murong Ling'er always looked indifferent, making it difficult to see her inner emotions.

Seeing Sun Ying being dragged away by Chu Yinyin, Chu Lingfeng coughed lightly, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, and explained, "Miss Sun was entrusted by an old friend before his death. I was simply taking care of her. I'm not actually familiar with her. To avoid damaging her reputation, I've never spoken to her alone, let alone been alone with her."

When Murong Ling'er heard this, she just nodded slightly, not knowing whether she really took his words to heart.

Seeing this, Chu Lingfeng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

In fact, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to borrow the jade pendant that was of great significance to him and originally belonged to him from Murong Ling'er. However, Sun Ying's sudden interruption made him not know how to start the conversation for a moment.

On this side, after Sun Ying was pulled away by Chu Yinyin, her curiosity about Murong Ling'er became stronger and stronger. She tried several times to ask Chu Yinyin about Murong Ling'er's situation.

But Chu Yinyin was like a clever little guard, deftly blocking her every time, muttering, "I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

After that, the team rested in the mountains for a day.

Chu Lingfeng led several guards to patrol the surrounding area to prevent any wild beasts or other dangers from approaching.

Murong Ling'er sat quietly in the tent. She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but in fact she was thinking about some family past events and the unknowns of this trip.

As night falls, a mysterious atmosphere fills the mountains and forests.

The howling of wild beasts came one after another, and it seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in the silent night. The sound lasted all night, like a nocturne in the mountains, or a warning of danger.

As soon as the sky turned slightly light, the team was reorganized and headed towards where the Tang family was.

Chu Lingfeng and Murong Ling'er sat in the carriage, looking through the window at the gradually changing scenery outside, wondering what they were thinking in their hearts.

Sun Ying and Chu Yinyin were sitting in another carriage. Sun Ying would lift the curtain and look out from time to time, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

The team struggled forward on the winding mountain road, with members of the Tang family silently leading the way.

The group went around one towering mountain after another. The road under their feet was rugged and difficult to walk on, and they had to cross mountain streams and ravines from time to time.

Time passed quietly in this slow progress, until the sunset glow in the sky was gradually swallowed by the dusk, and finally the settlement of the Tang family came into sight.

The scene before my eyes is like a beautiful painting slowly unfolding. The first thing that catches my eye is a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers. The colorful flowers are swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming guests from afar.

Delicate butterflies dance gracefully among the flowers, complementing the blossoms and adding a touch of agility and vitality.

Not far away, there is a tranquil lake with clear water that sparkles with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun. Occasionally, you can see fish swimming happily in the water, creating ripples.

Everyone who had been traveling for a long time and was tired was stunned by the sudden beauty. Their physical and mental fatigue seemed to dissipate a lot in an instant, and they even forgot that they had to continue moving forward to find a place to stay.

Tang Muyang, the leader of the Tang family, felt a surge of pride when he saw the reactions of the crowd.

The Tang family has been living in seclusion here, having spent decades of peaceful years.

Every day, the tribesmen go out to work facing the rising sun and return to rest with the afterglow of the setting sun. There are no external disputes and entanglements in their lives, nor are there sinister intrigues among people. Everything is as beautiful and peaceful as a dreamlike paradise.

The patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Xiangling's father, was filled with surprise and confusion when he saw Tang Xiangling appear with this group of strangers.

He walked straight towards Tang Xiangling and asked in a low voice, "Xiangling, who are these people? Why did you bring them to our tribe?"

Tang Xiangling lowered her head slightly and recounted the whole story in detail.

When Tang Muyang heard that the Fantasy Mist Forest was actually burned down by the fire, his face instantly became solemn. He slowly swept his eyes over Murong Ling'er and her group of so-called fugitives, and a hint of vigilance and unfriendliness naturally appeared in his eyes.

However, due to the Tang family's tradition of hospitality, he still instructed Tang Xiangling to arrange accommodation for everyone and did not make things too difficult for them.

The exiles did not care too much about the attitude of the Tang clan members. After all, they were just passing by and would not stay here for a long time, so there was no need to care about other people's opinions.

Murong Ling'er frowned slightly. She had not expected that her act of burning down the Fantasy Mist Forest would inadvertently break the long-standing peace of the Tang family. She felt a little guilty, but also felt that this might be the arrangement of fate and it was inevitable.

Chu Lingfeng noticed Murong Ling'er's change in expression. After a moment's contemplation, he softly said, "The Tang family chose to hide here. On the one hand, it was to avoid being hunted by the outside world. On the other hand, I heard that they seem to be carrying some kind of mysterious curse. Most of the family members will hardly live past the age of fifty."

Murong Ling'er just nodded slightly without expressing too much emotion.

In her opinion, this was ultimately the Tang family's own business and had little to do with them, who were just passing by.
