Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

She released her mental power and began to explore around.

The upgraded psychic ability can observe an area of ​​three kilometers in radius, so Leng Youran only needs to find a rooftop to observe Chaoyang Lane clearly.

She scanned the houses one by one until her sight stopped at a house not far away.

She entered the house with some uncertainty and successfully entered the room of the skinny old man lying on the bed.

She came closer and took a closer look, noticing that the old woman's face was somewhat similar to Zhao Xu's, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips.

She used her mental power to examine the old woman's body first, to see if her current condition was suitable for a long journey.

It would have been fine if she hadn't checked, but after checking, she discovered that someone had recently given her body a chronic poison.

This made her confused.

"water..."

The old woman might be feeling unwell, she twisted her body and licked her dry lips.

Leng Youran didn't do what he thought. He took out the water bag from the space, helped the old woman up and gave her a few sips.

The old woman didn't even open her eyes. When she touched the water bag, she held the water bag and started drinking without Leng Youran feeding her.

Halfway through drinking, the old woman paused.

Leng Youran also paused.

Leng Youran was about to withdraw his hand from the old woman when she opened her eyes.

When she saw a strange face, she was about to scream, but Leng Youran covered her mouth.

"Shh, Auntie, don't scream. I'm Zhao Xu's friend. He asked me to come and see you."

When the old woman heard Zhao Xu's name, her body trembled noticeably, and then she looked at Leng Youran with a pair of puzzled eyes.

“Mmmmm…”

The old woman wanted to speak, but Leng Youran saw that she no longer had the resistance she had just shown, so he loosened his grip a little and continued, "I'll let go. You can ask me anything, okay?"

The old woman nodded.

Seeing that she agreed, Leng Youran let go of her hand and moved her body, which was half leaning on his arm, back, letting her lean against the headboard before sitting beside her bed.

"Miss, could you please light the lamp?"

The old woman's voice was still a little hoarse, and it sounded as if she hadn't had water for a long time.

Leng Youran didn't even move her butt. She moved her left hand slightly, and a flame flew out from her fingertips and landed directly on the oil lamp on the table not far away.

The room gradually brightened.

The old woman then saw her face clearly and looked at it carefully.

Didn't find any familiar memories.

"Girl, are you really the one Xu'er asked to see me?"

"What do you think, Auntie?"

Leng Youran could see the shrewdness of the person in front of her. After all, she had been the mistress of the house. Naturally, such a clumsy lie as Leng Youran's was not worth mentioning in front of her.

"You are Xu'er's enemy!" When the old woman said this, her hand holding the water bag trembled, but her tone was full of determination.

Leng Youran didn't say anything.

The old woman continued, "Xu'er has offended many people in recent years, and many people want him dead. I know this without you having to tell me, but since you were able to take care of me just now, it's not hard to tell that you must be a kind-hearted girl. I don't know how Xu'er offended you, but I want to ask you a favor."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Miss, if you kill me, please don't seek revenge on Xu'er, okay? He was ultimately dragged down by me."

Leng Youran looked at her steadily without saying a word.

The old woman, perhaps feeling that her request was a bit excessive, explained, "The child wasn't like this before. Later, he did many things that went against his conscience. He hurt you, and I shouldn't have asked you to give up revenge. But, but he is my son. I want to do something for him one last time."

Leng Youran noticed a sense of powerlessness rising around her, so she spoke, "Whether I'm Zhao Xu's enemy or not depends on him. So I didn't come to you for revenge, but to establish a good relationship with him. But Auntie, you just asked me to kill you, and it's a bit heartless of you to pay for your son's death. After all, you should know that even if Zhao Xu's enemies don't come looking for you, you won't live long, right?"

When the old woman heard this, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock.

"You, how do you know?"

"I discovered it accidentally when Auntie was still in a coma."

"Miss, do you know medicine?"

"That's it!"

"No wonder, now that the girl knows, then just do it! As for Xuer...it depends on his ability." The old woman closed her eyes resignedly, and she loosened the water bag in her hand. The water in the bag slowly flowed out and soaked her quilt.

Leng Youran took the water bag and covered it slowly, saying, "Auntie, I told you, it's not certain whether he is an enemy or not, you don't have to be like this."

The old woman waited for her next move for a long time, and only after hearing her words did she open her eyes and meet Leng Youran's gaze.

"Will you come with me? I'll take you to your son?"

"I'm going with you? Where are we going?"

Leng Youran didn't rush to tell her destination, but instead asked about her current situation, "Who poisoned you?"

The old woman was silent for a moment, then she let out a long sigh and said, "Someone who wants to restrain Xu'er."

"Girl, to be honest, even if I wanted to leave with you, I couldn't. You probably don't know that the people behind Xu'er won't let me go easily."

"It's okay. I came from outside the city. If I can come in, I can take you out. Now it depends on whether you want to go with me."

"But, if I leave, what about Xu'er..."

"I wasn't lying when I said I'd take you to see him."

"Really, really?"

"Ah."

The old woman first looked around the room she was living in, then looked at Leng Youran who was sitting beside the bed, and finally nodded.

Leng Youran didn't expect her to be so straightforward, which was a little beyond her expectations, but she was not a fool, and the old woman's eyes could not deceive anyone.

As for why she agreed so easily, she thought it might be because she felt that she didn't have much time left and wanted to see Zhao Xu for the last time!

The old woman moved very quickly, and only took a bag without packing many things.

"Let's go!" There was some urgency in her tone, and she seemed even more anxious than Leng Youran.

Leng Youran nodded first, then walked around behind her and chopped her neck with a knife.

After putting the old woman into the space, he strolled around Zhao Xu's yard and took away everything he could.

When I was about to leave the alley, I suddenly remembered what happened last night and changed direction.

Flying towards the high palace wall.

She came to the treasury with familiarity, and this time she clearly felt that a lot more people had been deployed around the treasury.
