C15

"You can leave now …" Zi Linng patted the clothes that were already wrinkled from the fight, her eyebrows drooped and she seemed very calm.

Chu Feng stood in place and looked at her for a long time, until his eyebrows furrowed even more. The Ye Linn in front of him was different from any other girl he knew, and the corners of his eyes were always some unfathomable mysteriousness and indifference.

Interesting! His brows suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "I will report to my family about the engagement, but when it is settled will depend on how you handle the Ye Family, goodbye!" Seeing that Zi Linng's face was slowly covered with anger, Chu Feng quickly and cleanly pulled Chu Jun down the mountain.

A ball of flame condensed in Zi Linng's hand and struck the place where Chu Feng was just at. How dare that fellow deceive her!

Actually she misunderstood Chu Feng. The matter of the marriage had involved two of the Five Great Clans, and it was not something that could be dissolved just by Chu Family alone. Although the matter of the marriage was a little inconvenient for him, but at the very least, he could tell that Chu Feng did not want to marry him. Someone as arrogant as him would definitely not marry someone that was forced onto him, so he still had to rely on Chu Feng to settle this matter.

Thinking of this, Zi Linng put this matter to rest. She lifted her eyes to see the thick white fog on the cliff and the black cloud gradually spreading to the horizon. Without further delay, she turned around and gracefully and nimbly stepped onto the clean ground. She crossed the obstacles and headed down the mountain path.

Divine Profound Sect was indeed worthy of being called a large sect. When she asked the sect master for a large amount of medicinal ingredients to cultivate, Huo Zhen immediately sent over hundreds of stalks of spirit grass of high quality.

In this world, if the Profound Cultivator wanted to deepen his own Profound Strength, besides continuously refining his own Profound Strength, she would also need the assistance of these medicinal herbs. Zi Linng had also secretly observed that their refining methods were completely different from refining pills. They extracted the juice with metal tubes and sealed it in transparent jars, drinking it directly whenever they needed it. On the other hand, refining pills required one to undergo high temperatures in order to disperse the pill poison as much as possible and absorb the spiritual energy within one's body. Only then would one be able to purify the pill.

She had also been given a few batches of potions and tried drinking one. Comparing the two, the potions they extracted contained a large amount of impurities, which was of no use to her cultivation and was of little use to her.

But the ingredients allocated were limited, and as she was about to attempt to break through the Foundation Building Stage, she needed several to refine a Foundation Building Pill.

While he was thinking, he was walking slowly. Unknowingly, he had already returned to his own small courtyard.

Just as she was about to cross the threshold with light steps, her crescent-like eyebrows suddenly tightened. She suddenly turned her head to look at a corner of the courtyard. At the same time, an icy-blue water arrow broke through the air and flew over.

"Miss, it's me!" A green figure rolled on the ground in a sorry state, barely dodging the icy-blue water arrow.

After dodging the water arrow, the green figure quickly stood up, her black hair tied up in a ponytail, looking extremely pathetic.

Zi Linng looked at the approaching person. Her oval face was staring at him with his big, round eyes.

Zi Linng remained unmoved as she walked past her towards the door, "Come in, Zhu'er."

After Zhu'er heard this, she giggled and chased after Zi Linng, muttering some words, "Miss, they said you're dead. Only Zhu'er doesn't believe it, she knows that you're extremely lucky."

In a short distance, Zi Linng had already completely dissected Zhu'er's body from her memories. Zhu'er was the servant girl from Ye Family, but her real identity was the retainer left behind for her daughter by Ye Linn's mother. The two of them had grown up together. Zhu'er was very weird, very heartless. Ye Linn trusted her even more than her own father.

"How did you know I was here?" Zi Linng flicked out a fireball onto the candle and it instantly lit up the entire room.

Once Zhu'er entered, she immediately leaned on the chair and poured water into her mouth. The sound was surprisingly loud in the quiet room.

After drinking enough, Zhu'er then wiped her mouth contently and looked up at Zi Linng, "Miss, I am Zhu'er, what can be difficult for me in this world?"

"Oh? Tell me, who exactly was it that took my Profound Pill away together with Hong Rui? "

After Zi Linng finished speaking, seeing Zhu'er's heartless expression, she gritted her teeth and said, "I do not know about this yet, but I already know that Hong Rui and his son had harmed you. Miss, don't worry, Zhu'er will definitely work hard in cultivation and take revenge for you! " Zhu'er had forgotten about the fireball just a while ago and was fully focused on taking revenge for Ye Linn.

Thinking about it, it was rare for Zhu'er to be quiet, her voice also became gentle, "Young miss, it doesn't matter if you don't have Profound Pill s, it doesn't matter if you can't cultivate, Zhu'er will protect you!"

While Zhu'er was speaking, Zi Linng had already found a chair and sat down.

Phew...

As soon as Zhu'er finished speaking, a flame appeared in Zi Linng's hands, and the scorching heat instantly evaporated the cold dew on both of their bodies.

Zhu'er was surprised, her mouth agape as she pointed at Ye Linn and did not say anything for a long while.

Zi Linng smiled slightly, "I have good fortune, in the future, I will personally seek them for revenge."

Zhu'er finally recovered from her shock, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Of course it's okay, I'll just sit here," Zi Linng said as she lifted her chin, "Tell me about yourself, why are you looking for me here?"

It was only then that Zhu'er remembered her important matter. She told Zi Linng about how she had been taken in as a flute by the Profound King of the Colossal Deer Country, and about the conversation between Hong Rui and her sister-in-law.

After a long while, Zi Linng only lowered her head and played with her fingers, not saying a word.

Zhu'er could not hold it in, after waiting for a moment, she could not help but say: "Young miss, since you are fine, why don't we kill our way back to vent our anger?"

Zi Linng slowly raised her head, and looked towards the pitch-black sky through the window. "Breathing out is easy, but it will take some time to catch all the people who harmed me in one fell swoop." She thirsted for revenge more than anyone, not only because of Ye Linn's hatred, but also because of her own hatred. However, she also knew that without absolute strength, revenge was just a dream.

Zhu'er looked at Zi Linng's profile, her clear and bright eyes revealing a trace of doubt: "Miss seems to be a little different from before."

Zi Linng quickly turned her head, "Zhu'er, does anyone know about you coming here?" Even though Zhu'er was the retainer left to her by Ye Linn's mother, she had always been hiding in the shadows to protect her, and did not reveal her identity. That was why she was able to live well under the eyes of Hong Rui and Ye Shan.

"Don't worry Miss, I came out secretly. Before I came here, I took a detour, and I believe no one knows my true identity."

Zi Linng nodded, "That's good. Go back immediately and continue hiding in the Ye Family. Help me find a person …" Zi Linng's voice gradually grew softer.

Hearing that, Zhu'er's face turned white, her eyes revealed a rare look of seriousness: "Young miss, don't worry, I will definitely find him."

"Just do your best to investigate. First, make sure you are safe." After Zi Linng finished instructing, she took out two bottles of pill s and handed them over to Zhu'er.

Zhu'er suspiciously scanned her surroundings and was about to ask when she heard Zi Linng say: "Don't take any more medication in the future, use this to level up your Profound Strength."

Zhu'er was one hundred percent loyal and trusted to Ye Linn, so she kept the pill in her arms without a doubt when she heard this.

"It's getting late, you can go back first."

After sending Zhu'er off, Zi Linng stood at the side of the door for a long time without moving. Zhu'er had been adopted by Ye Linn's mother since she was young, so she was one hundred percent loyal and trusted. But she was Zi Linng. After experiencing so much, she was unable to trust a stranger one hundred percent, so she gave Zhu'er an additional dose of pill. If her loyalty was real, she would definitely not mistreat her.

What she needed to do now was to increase her strength as soon as possible. During this period of time, her cultivation life was far too peaceful, so calm that she was numb to it. However, danger was everywhere, so she had to increase her strength as fast as possible.

Just when she was about to go into seclusion, Zhao Ting came over with a mission issued by the Divine Profound Sect Sect Master.

"Junior Sister, I was forced to disturb your cultivation." Zhao Ting was just like a modest Young Noble, able to make people feel that he was bathed in spring breeze at any time.

Although Zi Linng was not happy to be disturbed, thinking that she had to rely on Divine Profound Sect to protect herself after all, she suppressed her emotions and invited Zhao Ting to take a seat.

"What happened?" Zhao Ting would never come to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason, and furthermore, his current expression clearly told Zi Linng that something big was happening.

Before Zhao Ting could say anything, he sighed, "Look for yourself." As he said that, he handed a letter to Zi Linng.

Zi Linng's face remained unmoved, she extended her hand out to take the letter, and opened it.

"Master led the two of us to the Qingfeng Town to investigate the reason." Zhao Ting told Zi Linng his orders.

Zi Linng muttered to herself for a moment, then said: "Senior Brother, since you want to lead the way, you do not need to worry about me. I am at the critical moment of my cultivation, so I am afraid I cannot go with you."

The content of the letter was not considered a big deal to Zi Linng. It was just that the disciples of the Divine Profound Sect had mysteriously disappeared for half a month due to profound energy, and there had been no news of them since then.

"Junior sister, while training in seclusion is important, training outside is equally important. This matter is very strange, not only for the sake of training oneself, but also for the sake of the survival of the other junior brothers and sisters."

Zhao Ting was righteous but he was unable to feel it. Just as he was about to refuse, Zhao Ting took something out from his arms.

The moment Zi Linng saw this object, even though she was calm, his expression changed, and her gaze fixed on the center of Zhao Ting's palm.

"Senior Brother, where did you get this?"

Zhao Ting did not expect Zi Linng to recognize the green object in his hand, and immediately passed it to Zi Linng: "Look, you really know this item?"

Zi Linng's hands trembled slightly as she hurriedly caught the thing that Zhao Ting sent to her side. In an instant, that familiar feeling surged through her four limbs and hundred meridians.

This feeling could not be wrong!

Zhao Ting did not discover the strong desire and shock in his downcast eyes. He only looked at her dumbstruck for a while before speaking again, "Junior Sister, do you know him?"

Of course I know him!

She slowly raised her head. The fluctuating emotions had already been calmed down by her words. "I do know him. Senior Brother, where did you get this thing?"
