At this moment, having just persuaded Shangguan Ying'er, Ling Mo Xie didn't say much more and took Shangguan Ying'er out of the basement.
Not long after they left, Ning Qi returned to the tent in a fit of rage. He had gone to the place Shangguan Ying'er mentioned, but there wasn't even a shadow of a person in sight!
"Who is it? The cleaner? Come out! How dare you deceive me? Where is this rumor about Ling Mo Xie taking a walk? You're asking for death!" Ning Qi shouted angrily as he walked into his tent.
However, there was no response. Ning Qi stepped into the tent and paused for a moment. Then, looking around the empty tent, he lifted the curtains of each partition but found no one there.
Ning Qi frowned. Could it be that those two were trying to lure him away?
Just then, an enchanting voice came from outside: "Senior Brother Ning, I overslept today, so I just arrived. You won't blame me, will you?"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Ning Qi's eyes. Damn it! Who were those two before? What was their purpose in coming here?
Thinking this way, Ning Qi seemed to suddenly realize something and hurried toward his bedroom. Upon seeing the changes in his room since he left, a knowing expression appeared on his face.
Hmph! Besides that guy Ling Mo Xie, he couldn't think of anyone else! A cold smile crept onto Ning Qi's lips. Even if they knew about his basement now, so what? Everything was over.
No, it wasn't over yet; he wasn't going to let Ling Mo Xie off the hook for daring to deceive him and for seeing the situation in the basement. If that got out, it would tarnish his reputation.
Meanwhile, in Shangguan Ying'er's room, Ling Mo Xie was saying goodbye to her as he prepared to return to his tent.
Shangguan Ying'er looked at Ling Mo Xie with hesitation, sometimes conflicted and sometimes feeling guilty. Ling Mo Xie smiled and said, "I know what you want to say. If Ning Qi doesn't pressure me, I won't reveal this matter. After all, even if I did, who knows how many people would believe it? It would only harm the reputation of your Azure Emperor Sect."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er nodded and lowered her head as if talking to herself. "I have been an orphan since childhood; my master picked me up. The Azure Emperor Sect... is my home! Although I sympathize with those poor people and feel guilty..."
"You don't need to say anything more; I understand," Ling Mo Xie said as he leaned closer to Shangguan Ying'er, tucking her messy hair behind her ear and gently stroking her forehead. "You're about to return to the Azure Emperor Sect; be careful. Who knows what Ning Qi might do?"
"Let's consider this a farewell. There's no need for you to come over when you leave. After handling matters in Tianfeng City, I need to go to the capital as well," Ling Mo Xie paused before continuing.
At this moment, Shangguan Ying'er was feeling down and didn't have much more to say; she simply nodded and said, "Understood. Then goodbye!"
Ling Mo Xie then took his leave, but just as he was walking outside, Shangguan Ying'er suddenly looked up and shouted, "Wait!"
"What is it?" Ling Mo Xie turned around in confusion to look at Shangguan Ying'er.
Shangguan Ying'er smiled and said, "The Langya Medicine Valley is located thousands of miles away, hidden among towering mountains. It opens once every ten years, and the next time will be in March next year."
After saying that, she waved her hand at Ling Mo Xie: "You can go now; I need to prepare to head back."
Ling Mo Xie looked at Shangguan Ying'er in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How did you know that the Cang Qian's Open Gate Token is actually in my hands?"
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Shangguan Ying'er shot him an annoyed glare and said, "Would you rather tell Elder Feng than tell me? Seriously, how can you even ask that?"
"Ah, haha!" Ling Mo Xie scratched his head and gave a perfunctory laugh, saying, "I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"
He then quickly walked away as if being chased by ghosts.
Watching Ling Mo Xie's actions, Shangguan Ying'er covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head. It was just a complaint; it’s not like she would eat him or anything.
Once Ling Mo Xie exited Shangguan Ying'er's tent, he stopped for a moment before breaking into a smile and walking toward his own tent.
Before he reached his tent, he saw Sun Xiaoxiao pacing back and forth in front of it. She was pouting one moment, frowning the next, squatting down for a while, and then bouncing around. Meanwhile, Hong Chi, following Ling Mo Xie's instructions, stayed close to Sun Xiaoxiao, holding a stick of Candied Hawthorn in his mouth with a helpless expression on his face, looking like a little adult.
Standing at a distance, Ling Mo Xie didn’t rush over but listened to their conversation.
"I need to go to the bathroom; just wait for me here!" Sun Xiaoxiao said irritably to Hong Chi.
However, Hong Chi remained unfazed and simply glanced at Sun Xiaoxiao: "I'm going with you!"
Sun Xiaoxiao, looking up helplessly to the heavens, said, "I’m going to the bathroom! The bathroom! Do you even understand the difference between boys and girls?"
Hong Chi looked up at Sun Xiaoxiao and replied seriously, "I don't know, I'm just a kid."
Sun Xiaoxiao stared at this persistent little follower and could only squat in the corner to draw circles.
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed as he walked over and said to Sun Xiaoxiao, "If you're so bored, go to Shangguan Ying'er. She's heading back to the Sect, so you can see her off."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er looked up in surprise and asked, "You're back so soon?"
Ling Mo Xie paused for a moment and said, "Everyone's dead, there's nothing to do. I need to prepare quickly to deal with the Eastern City Association, or else... such tragedies might happen again."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's somber words, Sun Xiaoxiao didn't know how to comfort him and could only look at him with concern.
However, Ling Mo Xie smiled and patted Sun Xiaoxiao on the head, saying to her, "Go see Shangguan Ying'er off! I have things to take care of!"
Sun Xiaoxiao nodded and walked towards Shangguan Ying'er's tent.
Once Sun Xiaoxiao had walked away, Ling Mo Xie seemed to be talking to himself as he said, "How's the investigation on the Eastern City Association going? Is it just that small gang on the surface? Is Zeng Zhou's wife still alive?"
"Hehe, with me on the case, is there anything we can't investigate? I'm even considering whether I should change careers!" Bai Yunfei's voice suddenly came from behind. He had appeared out of nowhere.
Ling Mo Xie turned around and smiled at him, saying, "As long as we have information, let's go inside and talk."
