Ling Xuewei's food tastes delicious and feels like home.
Zhang Xinlan felt relieved when she saw that it suited her taste. She sat aside and talked to her, and after a while, she felt sleepy.
Ling Xuewei urged her to let her rest, but Zhang Xinlan couldn't resist Ling Xuewei and left.
Ling Xuewei finished her midnight snack and put away the dishes. When she returned to the room, Xiao Yifeng also came back.
Ling Xuewei poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "How is it over there?"
"After we left, Ling Yun had people disperse the Ling family's children. After that, he and Ling Xiao went into the study room and came out after one watch." Xiao Yifeng reported to Ling Xuewei.
"Where is eldest brother now?" Ling Xuewei continued to ask.
"Has returned to his courtyard to rest." Xiao Yifeng said.
After hearing this, Ling Xuewei calmed down a bit, pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you should rest early. By the way, I have been keeping an eye on that area, especially Ling Xiao, in the past few days."
"I know, don't worry."
Xiao Yifeng left, and Ling Xuewei walked to the bed alone, looked at the night outside, and fell into deep thought.
…
Midnight watch.
There was a silence in Ling Mansion.
After experiencing the farce before, almost everyone in the Ling Mansion had taken a break at this moment.
Of course, there are also people who can’t sleep.
Ling Xiao walked around the room, feeling furious when he thought of what happened tonight.
Not to mention Ling Xuewei's unfilial daughter, Ling Yun's sudden return and his attitude really made him unable to feel at ease.
"Master, it's already midnight, it's time to rest." The servant of the Ling Mansion kindly reminded him.
"Get out! Get out of here! You all can't help me and are adding to the chaos! What do I need from you?!"
Ling Xiao picked up the cup and threw it to the ground, scaring the surrounding servants to their knees and not daring to say anything.
"Get out of here!!"
Ling Xiao waved his sleeves, and all the servants filed out, not daring to stay any longer.
Soon he was the only one left in the room. He walked to the window and stood there, his face gloomy.
After tonight, he has clearly seen that that damn girl has completely fallen out with him!
Thinking of what happened before, he always felt very uneasy.
It seems that we need to prepare in advance.
"Someone is coming!!"
Ling Fu heard the voice and came in quickly, "Master, what are your orders?"
Ling Xiao looked gloomy, "There is something you need to do..."
…
For three days after moving to the princess' mansion, Ling Xuewei stayed at home, refining elixirs.
Because her previous trip to Yaowang Valley had delayed her plan to learn inheritance for a long time, she wanted to take advantage of these few days to catch up on what she had missed.
In addition to talent, alchemy requires perseverance and hard work. Although Ling Xuewei has the golden finger of inheritance, she does not dare to slack off at all when she thinks of others.
What's more, she was about to prepare a rescue plan for Lingxi. What she had to do now was to improve her strength as soon as possible.
"Bai Ze, how is the refining of weapons in space going?"
Ling Xuewei wiped the sweat from her forehead and put nearly a hundred newly baked spiritual enhancement pills into the medicine bottle.
"It's almost refined, and you need to fuse the rest. However, if they are all refined into wind-type weapons, wouldn't it be too simple?"
What's more, how many people on this continent have awakened to the wind element?
If other elementalists use this weapon, they can only exert half of its power at most. Wouldn't that be a pity?
Ling Xuewei naturally knew Bai Ze's concerns. She had considered this when she made the agreement with Ye Moyan. Of course, she also thought of a solution.
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm currently researching the Soul Resurrection Pill, and I'm going to try to integrate it with the weapon I've made. If it succeeds, all spiritual users will be able to use this weapon."
This is the information she recently obtained from the inheritance. This rejuvenating elixir is, to put it bluntly, a natural element converter.
If it is used by a wind spiritual practitioner, just by pouring the power of wind spirit into the weapon, it can exert two to three times more power than ordinary spiritual cultivators.
In the same way, those with other natural elements, whether they are metal, wood, water, fire, or earth, can combine it with their own spiritual power after using this weapon to achieve great lethality.
effect.
It's just that it's not that easy to refine the elixir, and the medicinal materials it requires are more precious than the last, and many of them are rare treasures in the world.
However, it is difficult to successfully refine it.
Bai Ze said, "You not only asked me to refine a thousand daggers, but also a thousand long swords. The number of soul-returning pills required will be even more. So many soul-returning pills will require more medicinal materials. You
Isn’t this business a bit too much of a loss?”
Bai Ze sharply pointed out the problem. Based on his understanding of women, Ling Xuewei was not a person who would make a loss in business. Bai Ze knew that Ling Xuewei must have other plans.
Ling Xuewei slowly sipped her tea and said calmly, "What I don't like the most is owing favors to others."
That man helped her so much, so this should be regarded as repaying Ye Moyan's kindness.
After finishing his words, he said no more and returned to the alchemy room again.
…
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng was hiding in the darkness of Ling Mansion, following the sneaking figure outside Lingyun Pavilion.
With Wu Zun's eyesight, he recognized this person at a glance as Ling Xiao's butler, Ling Fu.
Why did he secretly come to Lingyun Pavilion in the middle of the night?
Without hesitation, Xiao Yifeng quickly followed.
Since Ling Xuewei left, this place has been sealed off by Ling Xiao's order, and no one is allowed to approach. Therefore, there are no guards outside the courtyard at this moment, and Ling Fu easily slipped into the courtyard.
After he landed, he carefully looked around. After finding no one, he quickly came to the well in Lingyun Pavilion, took out a bottle and sprinkled something into the well. Then he heard a puffing sound and wisps of white smoke coming from the well.
It popped up quickly.
Ling Fu smiled when he saw this and left quickly.
After a moment, Xiao Yifeng walked out of the darkness, ducked to the well, looked at the smoking well below, and frowned.
Searching around, he finally found some white powdery stuff near the manhole cover. He put a small amount in a special glass bottle and planned to take it back.
At this time, the white smoke from the well finally dissipated. Xiao Yifeng looked around and found that all the water in the well had dried up! Not even a drop was left!
Xiao Yifeng frowned and his eyes fell on the white powder in the bottle.
Could it be that this is something that can quickly dry up a well?
Just why did Ling Fu do this? Or...is there any hidden secret in this well water?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yifeng's face suddenly turned gloomy. Without staying any longer, he quickly disappeared into the night.
…
"This is what happened. Ling Fu drained the well water and left. I found this around the manhole cover. I have had people verify it. This is corpse powder. If it is sprinkled on the corpse, it will melt the blood and bones in an instant.
, not even a scrap is left. If it encounters water, the effect will be even more powerful."
Xiao Yifeng placed the bottle with corpse powder in front of Ling Xuewei and told her the conclusion he had found.
Ling Xuewei picked up the bottle and looked at it casually, "Corpse powder? Ha... This is interesting. I have already left the Ling family, but they secretly sprinkled corpse powder into the well water of Lingyun Pavilion. What are they trying to cover up?"
Xiao Yifeng said, "When I first entered Lingyun Pavilion, I checked all the places in the pavilion and found nothing abnormal. I can confirm that the well water is not poisonous. What's more, if the well water has been tampered with, we should not
Didn't notice."
Ling Xuewei thoughtfully said, "People in the world are unable to prevent themselves by using poison. Even if the possibility of poisoning in well water is ruled out, it does not mean that other places are safe."
"Then... what should we do next? Do you want me to investigate again?"
Ling Xuewei shook her head, "No, if my guess is right, they should have erased all traces. Even if you want to check, you can't find anything."
Xiao Yifeng looked ashamed after hearing this, "I'm sorry, I should be more careful..."
When he thought that someone had assassinated a woman and he didn't know it at all, he felt guilty.
"It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself. Now that we have left the Ling Mansion, it is impossible for them to attack me again. But...it seems that Ling Xiao is already very afraid of me, otherwise he wouldn't be here
This is the time to let people destroy the traces." Ling Xuewei sneered.
"Then..." Xiao Yifeng looked at Ling Xuewei.
"Now that we know who the person behind the scenes is, we can only ask him in person. It just so happens that it's time to settle some accounts."
Saying this, a cold light flashed in Ling Xuewei's eyes.
**
Ling Mansion at night exudes tranquility.
The huge mansion is like a sleeping beast, quietly dormant in the night.
Yi Ming is in the center.
Ling Xiao stood in front of the window, listening to Ling Fu's report.
"Master, please rest assured that the matter has been settled and no one will find any clues." Ling Fu said respectfully.
"Well, I understand, you can go down." Ling Xiao waved his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes...but Master, I have something unclear. The third lady has already left the Ling Mansion, why are you still..."
Ling Fu hesitated for a while and finally asked.
"What third lady! That damn girl is no longer from my Ling family! Where is the third lady?!" Ling Xiao shouted angrily.
Ling Fu knelt down quickly, "I made a mistake, I hope you can forgive me..."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao gradually calmed down the anger on his face, holding the corner of the table with his hands, "What I regret most is that I brought her back to the Ling Mansion! Now that her wings are hardened, she dares to fight against me! If she continues like this
, aren’t you going to climb on my head?!”
Feeling Ling Xiao's anger, Ling Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to express his anger for fear of implicating himself.
After a while, Ling Xiao gradually calmed down his anger, as if he had thought of something, and sneered, "Fortunately, I still have a hand left. She doesn't have any aura now. No matter how powerful she is, what kind of tricks can she do? Humph, she's just a pawn, nothing to be afraid of!"
"
"You are wise! You have foresight! I admire you!" Ling Fu took the opportunity to flatter him.
