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

Shouldn't the Third Princess be in Xuanwu Kingdom?

Why does it appear here?

Could it be...

Thinking of the worst possible outcome, Long Xiu looked somewhat uneasy.

Tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes were red, and she looked at her third elder sister with trepidation.

When Long Xiaoxiao saw her younger brother wake up, tears instantly streamed down her face.

She could hear the sounds coming from inside.

Knowing that her younger brother was alright, she was already quite excited. When she heard Senior Ling call her, she rushed in without thinking twice.

Upon seeing his own brother in person, he could no longer hold back his tears.

She strode to the bedside and eagerly grasped Long Xiu's hand:

"Brother, you're finally awake! That's wonderful, you're alright, that's wonderful."

These days, Long Xiaoxiao has been guarding this place, not daring to close her eyes for a moment. She is afraid that if she closes her eyes, she will never see her imperial brother again.

She lived in constant fear, terrified that Long Xiu would...

Looking at his third sister, whose face was streaked with tears, Long Xiu's unease was replaced by heartache and emotion.

"Third Imperial Sister, don't cry, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

Long Xiu comforted him.

Long Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, it's alright, that's good."

"Third Imperial Sister, why are you here?"

Long Xiu then asked.

He was naturally happy to see his third sister, but as happy as he was, he was also worried.

Logically speaking, the Third Princess should be in Xuanwu Kingdom right now.

Upon hearing Long Xiu's question, Long Xiaoxiao's body trembled involuntarily, and her expression changed slightly.

Long Xiu had been observing his third elder sister.

Seeing her actions, his expression darkened; it was probably not a coincidence that the Third Princess was here.

Long Xiaoxiao also knew that there was no need to hide some things, especially since his younger brother was no longer alone; he also had the Ling family patriarch as his master.

Then Long Xiaoxiao told him everything about how she escaped from Xuanwu Kingdom and how Lingyun saved her life.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiu was filled with rage.

Long Xiu clenched his fists, his spiritual energy trembling slightly with rage, his eyes burning with fury that seemed capable of incinerating everything.

"How dare he!"

He never expected that not only had his father, the emperor, targeted him, but now his eldest brother had also targeted his third sister so early on.

Long Xiaoxiao looked disappointed and gently shook her head:

“Brother, now is not the time to be angry. What I am most worried about right now is Mother. She helped me escape from the Xuanwu Kingdom's palace, but I'm afraid it won't be long before Father and my eldest brother find out. They will definitely blame Mother, and I'm afraid…”

As Long Xiaoxiao spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, and her voice choked with emotion.

The anger in Long Xiu's eyes intensified.

But many others, like Long Xiaoxiao, were worried about their mother.

Given the ruthless nature of his father and elder brother, his mother would undoubtedly die once she learned the truth.

Long Xiu's chest heaved violently as he struggled to control the surging emotions within him.

Then he looked at his master who was standing to the side.

"Master..."

"I told you, you can do whatever you want, I'll always be there for you. But let's wait until your third sister is cured of the poison first."

As he spoke, Ling Yun took out another pill and gave it to Long Xiaoxiao.

"Detoxification?"

Long Xiu suddenly looked at his third elder sister.

"Third Imperial Sister, have you been poisoned?"

Long Xiaoxiao nodded. She had deliberately concealed this fact. In her view, it was already difficult enough to cure her brother's poison, but the poison in her body had been there for too long, and there was probably no hope left.

Therefore, in order not to worry his younger brother, he did not tell him.

but......

"Senior Ling, do you mean that the poison in my body can also be cured?"

It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but rather that she was too surprised.

"The poison you and Long Xiu were poisoned with is the same kind. Although you have been poisoned for a long time and it has invaded your internal organs, it is not incurable. After you take this antidote, the toxins in your body will naturally be eliminated, but your body, which has been damaged by the toxins, will need to be slowly recuperated in the future."

A hint of surprise and hope flashed in Long Xiaoxiao's eyes as she trembled as she accepted the pill:

"Thank you, Senior Ling. If you can truly cure this poison, you will be like a second parent to my brother and me."

After saying that, Long Xiaoxiao swallowed the pill without hesitation and quickly sat cross-legged to regulate the pill's energy within her body.

Instantly, she felt the pill rapidly spreading within her body, an indescribable sensation coursing through her, followed by a warm feeling.

Long Xiu watched intently from the side, his face full of worry.

Before long, Long Xiaoxiao felt a bloody taste coming from her mouth.

"Pfft"!

Just like Long Xiu had just done, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Third Imperial Sister!"

"I'm fine, I feel much better."

Long Xiu stepped forward with a worried expression to support Long Xiaoxiao, who shook her head in response, reassuring Long Xiu.

"Yes, the poison has been neutralized. Now you should take good care of yourself."

Long Xiaoxiao slowly stood up, her face still somewhat pale, but she exuded a sense of relief.

"I will forever remember Senior Ling's great kindness. If I am ever asked to serve you in the future, I will do my utmost to help you even at the cost of my life."

Now she can only express her gratitude verbally; she has nothing else to offer.

“You are Long Xiu’s elder sister. If something happens to you, this kid will probably be heartbroken.”

After all, he's my apprentice; I should go all the way and be a good person.

To avoid any unexpected events on the path of cultivation in the future.

"Regardless, I still want to thank Senior Ling."

"What are you two planning to do next?"

Ling Yun asked with concern.

"Master, I want to go to Xuanwu Kingdom. I want to find out what is happening to my mother."

Ling Yun nodded in understanding.

----------

After Long Xiu was confirmed, Ling Yun and the others accompanied Long Xiu and her brother to Xuanwu Kingdom.

Before entering Xuanwu Kingdom, to avoid alerting the enemy, both Long Xiu and Long Xiaoxiao had their original auras concealed and their appearances altered by Ling Yun.

Even if their mother stood in front of them now, she probably wouldn't recognize them.

After arriving in Xuanwu Kingdom, Ling Yun and the others found an inn to settle down.

"Let's go to the palace to check on your mother's condition when night falls."

"Yes, I will do whatever Master says."

Hearing his master's words, although he knew his master meant well, the thought of his mother's life being in danger still made him unable to hide his unease.

Long Xiaoxiao also looked worried and nodded slightly:

"I will leave everything to Senior Ling's arrangements. I only hope that my mother will be safe and sound."

Inside the inn, the atmosphere was heavy, and both Long Xiu and his sister Long Xiaoxiao remained uneasy.

Without knowing their mother's condition, they simply couldn't get a proper rest.

Ling Yun didn't insist on going along with them.

He then left, leaving the two siblings to talk.

"Sister, are you really planning to take the two of them to the Xuanwu Kingdom's palace?"

After leaving the guest room, Mo Yu asked.

After all, taking those two little ones along would just be a burden, okay?

It's just saving one person, isn't it?

Why go through all that trouble?

“I have no intention of rescuing them and then sending them to the palace.”

"Uh! Sis, you're not planning to rescue them and then take action right away, are you?"

"why not?"
