When Lu Yang saw Han Lingyun's angry look, he felt very happy. He finally avenged Han Lingyun's attempt to take advantage of him.
Lu Yang stopped teasing Han Lingyun, reached out and took out another small bottle.
"I'm kidding you!"
"This bottle is the elixir you want, Xiao Yunyun."
Han Lingyun snatched the bottle from Lu Yang's hand and quickly opened it.
Seeing that there were indeed two small returning pills in the bottle, Han Lingyun's pretty face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.
"Very good!"
Han Lingyun carefully put away the bottle, without saying hello to Lu Yang and the others, and turned around and ran away. It was as if she was afraid that Lu Yang would regret it and ask her to get it back.
Seeing Han Lingyun's attitude towards Lu Yang, no matter how stupid Xia Hongshan was, he still knew that Lu Yang was much more awesome than Han Lingyun!
Xia Hongshan felt regretful and afraid when he thought that he had left Lu Yang's thick leg and hugged Song Tong's thin leg instead, and almost lost his life and that of his son.
Xia Hongshan quickly walked to Lu Yang.
"Xiaoyang, I was blind before, I hope you will stop arguing with us for the sake of our Lanlan family.
OK?"
Although Lu Yang doesn't like Xia Hongshan, he is Xia Linglan's father, which means he is his father-in-law-to-be.
Lu Yang couldn't help but give him face.
So Lu Yang said to Xia Hongshan: "Uncle Xia, as long as you realize your mistakes, I won't argue with you."
Xia Hongshan was overjoyed when he heard what Lu Yang said.
"So, Xiaoyang, when do you plan to marry my Lanlan?"
Although Xia Hongshan didn't know what the elixir Lu Yang gave Han Lingyun just now was, seeing Han Lingyun's overjoyed look, Xia Hongshan could guess that this was definitely not an ordinary elixir.
Lu Yang was able to bribe Han Lingyun with pills and make Qingyang Palace bow to him. Naturally, Xia Hongshan would not let go of the big tree like Lu Yang!
After hearing Xia Hongshan's words, Lu Yang turned to look at Xia Linglan.
Lu Yang didn't have any objections to marrying Xia Linglan. If Xia Hongshan and Xia Quanyu hadn't suddenly come back and insisted on marrying Xia Linglan to Song Tong, Lu Yang might have married Xia Linglan by now.
But Xia Linglan suddenly refused.
"Dad, if you want me to marry Xiaoyang, you must first get my mother back. Otherwise, I will never marry!"
When Xia Hongshan heard his daughter's words, he couldn't help but frown.
"Girl, your mother has died a long time ago, where can I find her?"
Xia Linglan stared into her father's eyes.
"Dad, you still want to lie to me, right?"
"Grandpa told me today that my mother is not dead at all!"
"Twenty years ago, it was because my mother found out that you and your aunt had an affair and had a son. She ran up to Yufeng Mountain in a rage."
When Xia Hongshan heard Xia Linglan's words, he finally realized that he could no longer hide the matter.
Xia Hongshan could only sigh.
"Lanlan, since you already know this, I won't hide it from you."
"Twenty years ago, your mother was so angry that night that she ran up Yufeng Mountain and said she was going to become a monk at the Huangshi Monastery on the mountain.
But I led people all the way to Yufeng Mountain, but I didn't find any clues about your mother.
On the contrary, the ten masters I brought encountered a ferocious beast in the mountains. Of the ten ancient martial arts masters, only three of them protected me and escaped down Yufeng Mountain, and the other seven died in the mouth of the ferocious beast.
Later I learned that Yufeng Mountain began to experience abnormalities in those few years, and the beasts on the mountain were a hundred times more dangerous than ordinary beasts!"
When Xia Hongshan said this, he sighed again.
"So I speculate that your mother probably died in the hands of those beasts that night."
When Xia Linglan heard what his father said, her tears were like broken pearls.
"mom--"
Xia Linglan finally learned from her grandfather that her mother might still be alive; now that her father said that her mother died at the claws of a beast, how could Xia Linglan not be sad?
Just when Xia Linglan was heartbroken, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"I think your mother might not be dead yet!"
As he spoke, Han Lingyun, who had just left, appeared at the door again.
After hearing what Han Lingyun said, Xia Linglan immediately rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Han Lingyun's hand.
"Uncle Han, you said my mother might not be dead yet? Is that true?"
Han Lingyun nodded.
"The owner of Huangshi Temple and I are old acquaintances. I remember hearing him say that his master saved a young woman named Lu Qian twenty years ago."
When Xia Linglan heard what Han Lingyun said, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Yes, my mother's name is Lu Qian!"
Xia Linglan said that she wanted to kneel down to Han Lingyun.
"Uncle Han, can you take me to see my mother? As long as you can let me see my mother, I can do whatever you want!"
Han Lingyun was a little embarrassed.
"This may not be easy to handle. I heard from Huang Xuan, the temple owner of Huangshi Temple, that your mother seemed to have been bitten by a strange beast that night, and her body became abnormal after that.
That night, your mother injured the old temple owner who rescued her and fled deep into the mountains behind Huangshi Temple.
Since then, Huangshi Temple has classified the deep mountain behind the temple as a forbidden area, and no disciples are allowed to approach it. As for why, I don’t know.”
After hearing Han Lingyun's words, Lu Yang also felt that Xia Linglan's mother might really not be dead.
Xia Linglan's mother was Lu Yang's mother-in-law. Naturally, Lu Yang had to ask.
Lu Yang hurriedly said to Han Lingyun: "Sister Han, do you know what kind of abnormality is present in my aunt's body? I also know some medical skills. If I can know the specific condition of my aunt, maybe I can think of a solution."
Han Lingyun shook his head.
"For this, we have to ask Huang Xuan, the owner of Huangshi Temple."
Xia Linglan quickly begged Han Lingyun again.
"Uncle Han, can you take me to meet this Guanzhu Huang?"
Han Lingyun nodded.
"There's nothing wrong with this."
"Then Huang Laodao will go back to the mountain tomorrow. I will take you to Yufeng Mountain tomorrow to ask him clearly."
…
In a high-end hotel in Huangzhou, Song Tong was sitting on the sofa, watching the TV on the wall opposite. The scene playing on the TV was the Xia family's old house.
Lu Yang and Han Lingyun discussed the matter of Xia Linglan's mother, Lu Jin, and Song Tong listened to every word.
Hearing Han Lingyun say that he would take Lu Yang and Xia Linglan to Yufeng Mountain to find Huang Xuan tomorrow, Song Tong showed a sinister smile on his face.
"Uncle Junior, you are saying that there is a way to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell and you just break in."
With that said, Song Tong gave instructions to Yang Jin, the earthly king behind him.
"Go and bring Junior Brother Song in."
Yang Jin agreed, turned around and left.
Song Tong looked at Yang Jin who was walking away, with a sinister smile on his face again.
Although Song Tong had to give up his engagement with Xia Linglan because of his father's order, he was still very dissatisfied. So as soon as he returned to the hotel, he immediately called his father Song Chenghong.
Song Chenghong then told Song Tong that Han Lingyun had exchanged a small pill for him to let them give up their engagement with the Xia family.
Song Chenghong also told Song Tong that Han Lingyun still had at least three small returning pills on his body, and asked him to find a way to kill Han Lingyun and get the three small returning pills.
