I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

"You shouldn't have come." To everyone's surprise, Ling Xiao sighed and said this.

"What do you mean by 'shouldn't have come,' Lingzi? I just wanted to apologize. I know it was my fault, but you didn't have to..." Lingxiao pulled out a knife from somewhere and swung it at Wuxie's ear, leaving a gust of wind and taking away a few strands of hair.

"Kill me..." Wu Xie managed to utter a few words, his voice trembling.

There was a thud behind me, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

After realizing what the sound was, Xie Yuhua quickly went to the doorway, lit a tinderbox, and found a mercenary lying on the ground with a dagger between his eyebrows. Blood flowing from the back of his head stained the snow red. Most importantly, he was not dead yet; his mouth was still opening and closing.

"Is it that Ah Ning's person?" Jieyuhua asked.

"Yes, I was going to go back." Ling Xiao simply stated the facts.

"If we don't come to you, he'll check the situation and report back, and we'll be able to get through the night peacefully."

"Although I don't know what you said to Aning, what he saw should be pretty much the same as what you told Aning. Now we've ruined the plan," Xie Yuhua analyzed.

Ling Xiao walked to the door and leaned against the threshold that was about to collapse.

"He's dying," Xie Yuhua said, looking at the person on the ground whose breathing had slowed down.

"So what if he's dead? People can't come back to life. You can't expect me to use my own blood to save him, can you?" Ling Xiao said nonchalantly.

"Isn't this a direct confrontation with Aning? Will you take action tonight? Is this part of your plan?" Xie Yuhua stood up and faced the child. The child's plan was probably to avoid confronting Aning by taking risks, but now it seems they have no choice but to take this step.

Ling Xiao shrugged: "It won't be that bad tonight. Even if it deviates from the plan, what does it matter? I realized I was being followed and defended myself. My reason is perfectly legitimate."

Mercenaries are people who risk their lives for their jobs. The reason I didn't kill him directly before was because I didn't want to waste my breath. But if I run into A Ning, I might have to bring up this matter and explain to her why she's missing someone, which would be a bit troublesome.

But now that it's happened, what's there to worry about? Even if we face off tonight, I can protect your safety.

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he turned to Wu Xie, who was still standing there in shock, and said, "Alright, are you scared out of your wits? I accept your apology and I forgive you. If you don't come over here soon, I might change my mind."

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Wu Xie struggled to move his feet, walking towards him step by step with a slightly unsteady gait. Ling Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said to Xie Yuhua with some annoyance, "If I had known, I wouldn't have acted for so long. It was all for nothing."

Jieyuhua was immediately amused by his words and scolded him, "Your acting skills come on so easily, without consulting anyone or giving a hint. You've been scheming for so long, but everyone else's schemes have been in vain, and you've even managed to get us involved in your performance."

He was indeed angry, but not at Ling Xiao. He couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment. He felt more of something else towards Ling Xiao—a mix of relief and sadness. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. The child had been able to forgive Wu Sansheng so calmly and generously, and even risked his life to find him. How could he be angry at such a sensible and understanding child?

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Please forgive me. How can I get Brother Xiaohua's forgiveness?" Ling Xiao hugged Xie Yuhua's neck and said in a coquettish tone with an ambiguous meaning.

“You did nothing wrong, so stop talking about being wrong all the time.” Xie Yuhua pointed to the child’s forehead.
