On the other side, Chifeng looked around, hoping for Murong Ling'er's return, but time passed slowly and there was no sign of her.

In desperation, Chifeng had to lead the exiled team to set off again.

In the team, Huo Shuixian's suspicious eyes frequently fell on Qi Feng, and she kept wondering about Murong Ling'er's situation in her heart.

She thought maliciously in her heart: Humph! That bitch Murong Ling'er might have been captured by the bandits and tortured. She is quite pretty, so it's not surprising that she was insulted and killed by those bandits.

Or maybe she'd just be stabbed in the neck. No matter what, she'd never come back! This would be best, so she wouldn't be an eyesore in front of me. From now on, I'll be the only daughter in this family, and all the benefits will be mine.

Thinking of this, Huo Shuixian unconsciously showed a smug smile on her face, and thought to herself: "This woman has finally been dealt with. Now she can finally rest assured and be her Miss Huo."

Huo Jianjie, who had been worried about his eldest daughter's safety, inadvertently saw the unconcealed smile on his youngest daughter's face.

At this moment, his heart felt as if it was hit by a thousand-pound hammer, and his thoughts were in a mess.

He thought: Ling'er! My eldest daughter, I'm so sorry for you! I've let you wander around for so long, and you've suffered so much injustice. If anything were to happen to you, I'd never be able to rest in peace. How could Narcissus become so vicious? It's all because of me! How many mistakes have I made?

However, things have come to this point, and even if I regret it, it will be of no use.

"Uncle Chu, please let me down! I can walk by myself. I'm really not scared at all. Mother must be busy with something. She will definitely come back to find me."

Murong Chen struggled hard in Chu Lingfeng's arms, trying to get up and walk on his own.

Chu Lingfeng held him tightly and refused to allow it. Wang and Chuchu beside him also hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Chu Lingfeng was actually not worried that Murong Ling'er would be in danger. After all, he had some experience of her abilities.

He was just afraid that the little guy would be overly sad because he was worried about his mother.

At this moment, seeing the little guy's clear eyes full of determination, Chu Lingfeng felt a little relieved.

He said gently, "Just wait here for mother to come back. When she comes back, you can leave by yourself. I can't let you leave by yourself now."

"Yes! Xiaochen, just stay here nicely!" Chuchu turned around and said with a gentle smile on her face.

Wang also smiled and nodded in response, her eyes full of love and care.

Chu Yinyin couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "What a fool!"

She secretly complained in her heart: "Huh! You've become like this, but you don't take care of yourself and still help others. How stupid! Don't you think about it? You can't even take care of yourself, so how can you have the energy to care about others."

Chu Lingfeng had excellent hearing, so he naturally heard the curse, but he just glanced at Chu Yinyin coldly and didn't say anything.

It's strange to say, he has never had a good impression of children, but since the first time he saw Murong Chen, he inexplicably felt that this child was particularly pleasing to the eye, and the feeling of wanting to get close to him arose spontaneously. In the process of getting along, he found that Murong Chen was sensible and well-behaved, which made him like him even more.

At this moment, a strong smell of blood suddenly penetrated everyone's nostrils.

Chiffon frowned, full of doubts.

He found that the two people who had been rescued before had not left yet, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this was really a bit abnormal.

In the distance, He Mufeng and Chen Fang saw the exile team from afar, and also saw Chifeng walking in front.

Without any hesitation, the two of them immediately stood up and walked towards this side quickly.

He Mufeng's eyes were filled with surprise as he quickly scanned the female prisoners in the team. He then politely asked Qi Feng, "Captain Qi, I wonder who is the Miss Murong you were talking about?"

Chifeng sighed and shook his head, saying, "Miss Murong hasn't returned yet!"

He Mufeng felt a little disappointed when he heard that no one had returned, but then he asked, "Captain Qi, why was Miss Murong exiled?"

Chifeng sighed and replied, "Alas! The reasons behind this are quite complicated and difficult to explain at once."

He Mufeng nodded thoughtfully and continued, "Then what does Captain Qi think of Miss Murong?"

Chifeng thought for a moment and replied, "Based on my observations over this period of time, this girl is quite capable."

"Captain Qi, can I wait for Miss Murong to come back and thank her?" He Mufeng requested.

Chifeng stood there, his face full of surprise. He really didn't expect that these two people stayed there and didn't leave just to wait for Miss Murong.

Looking at the expectant expressions of He Mufeng and Chen Fang, he couldn't help but look apologetic and said quickly, "I don't know when Miss Murong will be back."

When He Mufeng heard this, his expectations instantly turned into deep disappointment. They had taken great risks and waited here, just to be able to thank their savior in person.

Chen Fang sighed deeply and said, "Captain Qi, please convey our gratitude to Miss Murong. I hope you can help pass on this small gift."

As he spoke, he handed over a not-too-big package and a small bag of silver.

Chifeng didn't pretend to refuse. He took the things and agreed to do it.

Huo Shuixian, who was not far away, vaguely heard the four words "Miss Murong" and suddenly became curious.

Her eyes were fixed on the package in Chiffon's hand, full of greed and desire.

She was about to sneak closer, wanting to hear more clearly and find out what was going on.

But who would have thought that He Mufeng and Chen Fang would suddenly turn around and leave.

Murong Chen looked at these two people looking for his mother, and didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried!

Chu Lingfeng lowered his head and saw Murong Chen's furrowed brows and worried eyes.

Chu Lingfeng leaned close to Murong Chen's ear and whispered softly, "Don't worry! Your mother will be fine. She may have other important matters to deal with, and she will catch up with us soon."

"Uncle Chu, is my mother really going to be okay?"

Murong Chen's voice was trembling and he was very scared. He grabbed Chu Lingfeng's sleeve tightly, his eyes full of helplessness and fragility.

"It'll be fine, don't worry! Your mother is so smart and has great martial arts skills, she'll be fine, trust me!"

While comforting Murong Chen, Chu Lingfeng recalled his first meeting with Murong Ling'er.

At that time, he was seriously injured by Murong Ling'er's weapon, which shows how powerful Murong Ling'er is.

Despite hearing Uncle Chu's words, Murong Chen still couldn't completely let go of his worries. He leaned quietly in Chu Lingfeng's arms and stopped talking, but his furrowed brows never relaxed.

Huo Jianjie stood aside, also feeling worried. However, by observing Chiffon's reaction, he guessed that his eldest daughter probably had something else important to do, so he did not rush forward to ask, but just waited anxiously in his heart.
