Zhao Shuning nodded slightly.
She checked the injury of Du She.
It had already been mostly treated by Ye Xingchen.
"You've really had a rough time," Zhao Shuning quipped.
"What about Lin Lang? Is he really just gone like that?"
Zhao Shuning composed herself.
She said, "If I say that Lin Lang is a good candidate, but his character is just not right. If I correct his conduct, would you be willing to take him back?"
Everyone looked at Du She.
Because it was Du She who had almost died at Lin Lang's hands just now.
But Du She just smiled faintly.
"Sure."
As long as it was a decision made by the senior, he believed there must be a reason.
That man, Lin Lang.
He was a bit obsessive.
But he wasn't a bad person at heart.
It was absolutely impossible for him to betray An Susu.
Zhao Shuning waved her hand casually.
Those light mirrors shattered before dawn.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry. If An Susu really cares about Lin Lang as a pawn, even if she sees this image, she will still trust him."
However, Zhao Shuning knew An Susu better than anyone else.
In the situation just now, Zhao Shuning could have stopped Lin Lang, but she deliberately let him escape. An Susu was suspicious and would surely think this was a trap set by Zhao Shuning and Lin Lang.
An Susu was a ruthless person.
By then, Lin Lang would surely be completely disillusioned with the An family.
Zhao Shuning helped Du She up, summoned the Talking Beast, and asked it to take Du She and Ye Xingchen back to the branch base of Shuiyunsheng.
After saying goodbye to everyone.
Zhao Shuning also climbed onto the back of the Talking Beast.
Du She was sitting on the back of the Talking Beast, and Ye Xingchen was carefully checking if there were any other wounds on Du She's body.
After multiple confirmations, Ye Xingchen looked solemn.
"Lin Lang really struck hard."
Zhao Shuning replied, "Lin Lang was raised by An Susu since childhood. He's always been decisive and vengeful. Since Shuiyunsheng destroyed the Seven - Star Alliance, he was bound to take revenge on Xiao An."
"Sister, will keeping Lin Lang cause big trouble?"
"No."
Zhao Shuning wasn't sure about others.
But now, she was already an Eight - Phase Spiritual Pharmacist, and even her spiritual power had reached the eighth rank. She could detect what others were thinking. Lin Lang was now in a precarious situation.
At present, his trust in the An family was on the verge of collapse. All it needed was a push. As long as An Susu had the intention to kill, then this powerful spiritual pharmacist, Lin Lang, could be recruited into Shuiyunsheng by them.
This required some means.
And Zhao Shuning had the confidence.
She was no longer Ye Ling from her previous life, who only judged people by their appearance.
"By the way, senior, why were you missing for so long? I spent a lot of time but couldn't find you."
Zhao Shuning shrugged slightly.
"I got engaged."
"What?"
"Ah?"
Ye Xingchen and Xie An almost exclaimed simultaneously.
Obviously, that wasn't the question they asked.
"As for the question of why I was missing, Xiao An, let Xingchen explain it to you. By the way, have you sorted things out with Miss Kong? She asked me before that if I saw you, to tell you sorry."
"It's all explained."
Du She answered Zhao Shuning's question, but his eyes were on Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen felt flustered.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Du She quickly averted his gaze.
Zhao Shuning let out a chuckle.
Du She quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, senior, you said you got engaged. Who is it to?"
"You've all met this person."
Ye Xingchen thought for a while.
Then she said, "Is it the Emperor?"
Du She looked in Zhao Shuning's direction upon hearing this.
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"Of course. Who else could it be but him?"
When mentioning Bu Ran, a bit more smile appeared on Zhao Shuning's face.
"Over all these years, senior, have you been with the Emperor all the time?"
"If you put it another way, yes."
Five hundred years ago, she saw such a young Master for the first time. A casual flirt from her would make him blush involuntarily. Where was that like now? Master was like an iceberg, cold and unapproachable.
"And you two?"
"Xiao An?" Zhao Shuning interrupted Du She.
Du She looked up blankly.
"Why do I find that after so long, you seem to have become a lot more gossipy?"
Du She lowered his head.
Zhao Shuning simply sat opposite the two of them.
She asked, "By the way, how's the progress between you and Xingchen?"
"Senior, I—"
"Don't hide it from me. I have eyes and can see."
Ye Xingchen blushed a bit.
"Sister, you shouldn't ask him this. You know he's not good with words."
"If I don't ask him, should I ask you, Xingchen? I've seen how much you care about Xiao An. Just now, you were even faster than me. As soon as the Phoenix detected Xiao An's aura, you started to look anxious."
"Sister—"
"It's okay. Our Ye family doesn't mind these things."
Du She said, "Senior, he and I are close friends, but our relationship is even deeper than that of ordinary friends."
This answer.
Was enough for Ye Xingchen.
Zhao Shuning turned around.
She smiled softly.
Looking at the stars in the night sky.
She felt very happy.
As the light mirrors shattered, besides An Susu, there was another crucial person who received that image.
That was Luo Qiu.
At that time.
It was already dawn.
In the main hall, Luo Qiu and Mo Bai were looking at the constantly flashing images in the light mirrors with solemn expressions on their faces.
"She's not my sister. This appearance isn't my sister's, but her personality is so much like my sister's."
"With Ningning's current skills, I imagine her body should have recovered well."
Luo Qiu and Mo Bai glanced at each other.
She looked at Mo Yan.
She asked, "Your Excellency, the God - Seat, what do you think?"
Mo Yan was in a daze looking at the woman in the image.
Hearing Luo Qiu ask him.
He just shook his head.
"Could this little girl really be Yan'er? If she is Yan'er, then when she met you in the cave on Qingyun Peak before and you made a move, why didn't she react at all?"
"But she does have the Soul - Turning Bead Chain on her hand."
"There's also a red lotus between her eyebrows."
Mo Bai stepped forward.
His mood was heavy.
For some reason.
"Father, senior, no matter whether Ningning is the person you're looking for or not, you're not allowed to hurt her."
Mo Yan and Luo Qiu glanced at each other.
"If she's really my sister's reincarnation, then I definitely won't hurt her."
Mo Bai looked at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan turned around.
He didn't say a word.
Mo Bai suddenly realized something.
The portraits hanging in his father's room.
Senior Luo Qiu had said that the person in them wasn't her. Under those portraits, the words Luo Feiyan were written. So, the Yan'er his father mentioned and the sister in Senior Luo Qiu's mouth should be the same person.
If Ningning was really the Yan'er they were talking about, what should he do?
In the future, how strange would his relationship with his father become?
