Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Seeing that Ling Yun remained silent, the Third Princess couldn't help but feel uneasy.

She didn't know what this senior in front of her wanted to do.

“Since you are unwilling to speak, I will not force you. But I, Long Yue, swear that if I have a chance to live, as long as I do not go against my conscience and morality, I will do my best to repay your life-saving grace.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a law descended upon her.

Ling Yun paused involuntarily as he drank his tea.

She hadn't expected the Third Princess to be so decisive, actually swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao!

but......

Surname Long?

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Are you a member of the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family?"

"Yes."

Long Yue did not hesitate at all, after all, apart from the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom, there were no other people with the surname Long.

"What is your relationship with Long Xiu?"

Long Yue was somewhat surprised.

She never expected that this senior in front of her would know Long Xiu.

Judging from her appearance, she was clearly not Long Xiu's enemy.

"Senior, do you know my seventh brother? Do you know where he is now? Could you take me there to find him?"

Long Yue seemed anxious, as if something urgent had come up.

Seeing her so anxious, Ling Yun frowned.

What do you want with her?

"To be honest, senior, the reason I escaped from Xuanwu Kingdom this time was to find him."

"So the person chasing you is trying to stop you from finding him?"

"Yes and no."

?

Ling Yun looked at Long Yue.

Yes it is, no it is not.

What's the answer?

"Senior, I'm sorry, this matter concerns the royal family of my Xuanwu Kingdom, and I cannot tell you."

Even when facing a senior with a high level of cultivation, he showed no fear whatsoever.

His eyes were firm.

[Boss, something terrible has happened! Your second apprentice has gone missing!]

"what!"

Snapped!

The teacup in my hand shattered into pieces in an instant.

Seeing Ling Yun suddenly lose his composure, Long Yue was startled.

She thought that her words had upset the senior colleague, which was why he was so angry.

I feel a little uneasy right now.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

[Boss, your second apprentice was suddenly attacked a while ago. To escape their pursuit, he ran into the Abyss and then disappeared.]

attack?

He suddenly looked at Long Yue, who was standing to the side, looking uneasy.

Where is he now? Is he injured?

"Boss, I can't find any trace of him. It's like he vanished into thin air."

Xiao Heizi said nervously.

It was also frustrated. Logically speaking, as long as the person was still on the Xuan Tian Continent, even if they were dead, it should have been able to find them.

However, the clues disappeared as soon as he entered the abyss.

Ling Yun frowned, then took out Long Xiu's Life Stone.

It seems the person is still alive.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But anyone who dares to hunt down her disciple is courting death.

"Who in your Xuanwu Kingdom is hunting down Long Xiu?"

Ling Yun looked at Long Yue and asked.

Long Yue was stunned by Ling Yun's sudden question.

Then, realizing what had happened, he looked at Ling Yun in shock.

"Senior, you just said that Long Xiu was being chased? How do you know? Has Long Xiu run into trouble? I hope you can tell me."

Long Yue couldn't help but feel worried at this moment.

“Long Xiu is my disciple, Ling Yun. You had better tell me the truth, otherwise I don’t mind if the Xuan Tian Continent loses a country.”

Upon hearing this, Long Yue was startled.

Lingyun!

That old ancestor of the Ling family!

how can that be!

and many more......

No, Long Xiu didn't return until he attended the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration in the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

This is none other than the patriarch of the Ling family, the most reclusive and powerful family in the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

She seemed to have overheard from her father that Long Xiu had been taken as a disciple by a master.

Could this be the person standing right in front of me?!

"Senior, did you really take Long Xiu as your disciple?"

"You'd better pray that your Xuanwu Kingdom has nothing to do with this, otherwise..."

Ling Yun did not answer her question; she didn't care whether this person was a relative of Long Xiu or not.

If the matter of Long Xiu was indeed the work of the people of Xuanwu Kingdom, she wouldn't mind taking a few more lives if something happened to him.

Am I still too late?

Seeing Ling Yun's anger, Long Yue was now certain that she was Long Xiu's master.

"Senior, since you are Long Xiu's master, please save Long Xiu and keep him away from Xuanwu Kingdom."

Tell me, who wants him dead?

Long Yue remained silent for a while after seeing this, and finally seemed to have figured something out.

"It's Father."

Then, without hiding anything, he told Lingyun everything.

She overheard her elder brother talking to a man in black and learned that her seventh brother had become a cripple because his supreme bone had been removed.

As a result, he became emotional and was discovered by them. Fortunately, he happened to run into his father, the emperor, which saved his life.

But to her utter surprise, while she was about to complain to her father, she unexpectedly learned that the person who dug up her seventh brother's supreme bone was none other than her so-called good father.

Not only that.

In order to enable the eldest brother to better fuse with the Supreme Bone, they actually used the seventh brother as a mobile blood bank, using the seventh brother's blood to feed the Supreme Bone.

She couldn't understand why her father was so cruel to her seventh brother.

It wasn't until later that she unexpectedly learned that her existence and that of her seventh brother were merely a means to an end for others.

Before she could figure out why her father was so heartless, her mother secretly sent her out of the palace, telling her to escape, get away from her eldest brother, find her seventh brother, and tell him never to return to Xuanwu Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's expression turned extremely ugly.

She knew that Long Xiu was not well-liked in Xuanwu Kingdom, and she also knew his hatred for the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom.

But he never expected that the Xuanwu Kingdom would go to such lengths to treat him.

"Senior, please save my seventh brother. He has suffered too much in his life."

"I will naturally save my disciple."

After speaking, Ling Yun looked Long Yue up and down again.

It's understandable that someone would covet the Supreme Bone, but why is Long Yue doing so?

[Boss, this so-called Third Princess has an excellent physique for cultivation. If you cultivate with her, you can quickly improve your cultivation level.]

Just as Ling Yun found the answer in her, Xiao Heizi said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's face darkened.

Does she need this thing to improve her cultivation?

This guy is definitely toxic.

Come to think of it, this guy is a system, right?

Why does he seem like a thug?

but......

Is it a fine cauldron?

"Are you aware that you have been poisoned?"

Ling Yun suddenly asked.

Long Yue was taken aback, then gave a self-deprecating smile.

She had never been in good health, and at first she thought it was because she was physically weak.

Later, every time she practiced, she felt a piercing pain.

Since then, she has suspected that she may have been poisoned.

She secretly sought out a doctor, but to no avail.

Now, when Ling Yun asked her, she was indeed poisoned.

Recalling everything that has happened during this period, and considering that her eldest brother has always cared for her because of her frail health and sent her medicine, it is not difficult to guess who poisoned her.

A wave of sorrow washed over her, as if a sharp blade had pierced her heart.

She had always respected her elder brother, but who would have thought that all his concern was a pretense, a carefully crafted scheme?

"Senior, how much longer do I have to live?"
