After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"She went into the yard, and now we can't hear her speaking."

Duan Li looked up at the eaves not far away, her tone calm and decisive.

"Let's go up."

Nangong Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was about to put down what he had bought when Duan Li tossed him onto the roof like a chick.

"Wow……!"

The whistling wind in my ears stopped, the feeling of weightlessness had just disappeared, but my heart was pounding like a drum.

"Is this what lightness skill is? It's sooooo exciting!"

Xiao Ran straightened her clothes and looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Keep your voice down."

Nangong Ming immediately covered his mouth, opened his eyes wide, and nodded.

Duanli lifted one of the tiles and peered inside.

Peony put down the food box in her hand, walked to the edge of the couch and sat down. There was a person lying on the couch who was slowly sitting up.

The man's voice was weak, and he kept coughing as he spoke.

"Dan Niang, you've worked so hard. If I hadn't been such a burden to you..."

Peony gently shook her head and picked up the medicine bowl that was placed to the side.

"Do not speak like that. Since we are husband and wife, we are one. Zheng Lang is bedridden, and Dan Niang's heart is also filled with unbearable pain."

"Here, drink your medicine first."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lang sat up slightly, and Xiao Ran was finally able to see his face.

He was a middle-aged man, and there was nothing unusual about him.

The conversation didn't seem to involve the topic of incense. Besides, there were other houses in the courtyard, so while the two of them were feeding each other medicine, they could go and investigate.

She had just looked up, intending to say something to Duan Li, when she saw Duan Li's eyes widen slightly, as if he couldn't believe something.

"You know him?"

Duan Li snapped out of her thoughts and nodded gently.

"He is the second-in-command."

Xiao Ran was startled.

The second-in-command? That's the person who came out of the valley with his master from Liuyun Village.

In other words, the man below must know the whereabouts of Master Duanli!

Unexpectedly, because of the fragrance, they ended up finding the second-in-command after many twists and turns.

"What? Who did you see?"

Nangong Ming was some distance away from the two and couldn't see what was happening below, so he thought he would go closer to take a look.

Little did he know that the "bird feathers" wrapped around his feet would trip him up.

"what--"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ran immediately reached out to grab him, but only managed to brush past his sleeve.

She shouted, "Nangong Ming!"

At this moment, Nangong Ming was like a rice dumpling wrapped in layers of bamboo leaves, tumbling and falling straight down.

This had already alerted the enemy, and Mudan and Zheng Lang were already looking up at the roof.

The plan to sever ties had to be abandoned, so he flew to the eaves and grabbed Nangong Ming.

For some reason, Nangong Ming still fell. Fortunately, Duan Li caught him a moment earlier, and the goods he had bought also provided some resistance.

The fall wasn't too bad.

"Ouch!"

Nangong Ming had never suffered such a serious injury before. He had always been pampered at home and had secret guards protecting him. No matter what, he shouldn't have fallen off the roof.

Xiao Ran leaped down and immediately checked his injuries, asking, "How are you?"

Nangong Ming scrambled to his feet, looking disheveled, and scratched his head.

"I...I'm fine."

Despite his words, his eyes darted around and his gaze fell on Duan Li, who had flown down with Xiao Ran.

As he rolled down, he did sense someone supporting him, but with Xiao Ran's shout, that force vanished instantly.

Why is that...? Is it because he's too heavy?

Just as he was lost in thought, the door behind him slowly opened.

He swallowed nervously.
