Chapter 126: Li Longling Learns the Way Through Her Father
“Immortal Master Li, please go slowly~”
Feng Yu Die waved goodbye to Li Feng with a giggle. She only lowered her raised hand and let out a heavy sigh after she could no longer hear his footsteps.
“Hoo—”
The moment Li Feng flickered behind her, her heart had raced to her throat, thinking Li Feng would bury her on the spot. Fortunately, her cultivation was still low, and Li Feng didn’t seem to take her seriously.
Feng Yu Die was self-aware.
She wasn’t afraid of opponents who were one major realm higher than her. But Li Feng was two major realms higher, and he had even followed Dan, the Heavenly Immortal, to battle and open confront the Demonic cultivators of the Eastern Domain.
Grand Void True Person had taught her that cultivators like Li Feng, who had poor aptitude but high cultivation, had mostly climbed out of pools of blood. Their methods and combat experience far surpassed other cultivators of the same cultivation level.
She had no confidence in defeating Li Feng, and now it seemed Li Feng was ready to act. She and Ye Anping still had three Demonic cultivators to deal with…
Feng Yu Die looked in the direction Li Feng had left, bit her thumb, and anxiously pondered how to solve the current problem. However, she couldn’t think of any solution other than running away.
“Tsk…”
Xiao Tian seemed to have sensed Feng Yu Die’s turmoil, and it proactively emerged from between her brows, placing its hands on its hips and floating in front of her.
“Yu Die, have some faith in Young Master Ye. I don’t know how he got the information, but he knew what Li Feng was planning a long time ago. He must have made thorough preparations.”
Feng Yu Die neither agreed nor disagreed. After thinking for a moment, she stomped her foot as if giving up.
“Ah! Forget it, it’s too annoying! I won’t think about it anymore. Leave the brain work to him, I’ll just be responsible for slashing!”
With that said, Feng Yu Die turned and ran towards the direction Li Feng had come from, intending to retrieve Li Longling and then leave Chi Long Mansion with her and Xiao Yunluo to find Ye Anping in Du Chun City.
Xiao Tian floated beside her, inexplicably pleased.
Its dear Yu Die had not realized that she was gradually beginning to rely on Ye Anping.
It was something Xiao Tian had never dared to imagine before, Yu Die relying on a man. If things continued like this, perhaps in a short while, its Yu Die would realize that having a man by her side seemed to be quite a good thing.
“When can we achieve union? It’s really worrying me.”
?
Feng Yu Die glanced at Xiao Tian. “What?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh…”
Feng Yu Die shrunk her neck in a daze and didn’t pay it any mind. After running down the corridor for a while, she finally arrived at the door of the back hall of Chi Long Mansion and immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
“Junior Sister Li! I’ve come to save you!”
Li Longling sat on the ground with her knees hugged to her chest. A maidservant from Chi Long Mansion was telling her something beside her. Upon hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, she slowly looked up.
“Senior Sister Feng?”
The maidservant beside Li Longling immediately stood up and reprimanded with a frown, “Senior Feng, this is a forbidden area of Chi Long Mansion. Although you are a distinguished guest, please…”
“Ling’er, it’s alright!!”
“Ah… but Miss, the Mountain Lord said…”
“I said it’s alright,” Li Longling interrupted sternly with a frown and then stood up from the ground.
Feng Yu Die glanced at the maidservant beside her and didn’t think much of it. She immediately rushed forward to pick up Li Longling, but as she reached Li Longling, she heard a “bang” and slammed into a spiritual energy wall.
“Ouch!!”
Li Longling guessed what had happened and then reminded her, “Senior Sister Feng?! My father set up a restriction around me.”
“Junior Sister Li, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Feng Yu Die stood up again, rubbing her forehead. She found a small bump on her forehead and immediately had a dark expression. After thinking for a while, she took out her spirit sword and said to the maidservant beside her, “You stand further away. Junior Sister Li, you also squat down and cover your head. I’ll help you break the restriction.”
“Ah?! No… This restriction is…”
Li Longling was about to remind her when she heard the whistling sound of the sword cutting through the air. She immediately squatted down and covered her head.
Boom—
After a loud bang, came Feng Yu Die’s receding scream.
“Aaaah—!!”
As the spirit sword hit the spiritual energy wall of the restriction, a golden light shot out from the spiritual energy wall, hitting her stomach and sending her flying out of the back hall door.
Falling into the flower bed outside the back hall door, Feng Yu Die pouted helplessly, spat out some saliva, quickly got up, and ran back into the back hall.
“Senior Sister Feng, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Tian also flew up from her shoulder and circled around Li Longling, saying, “Yu Die, you can’t break it. This restriction is extraordinary. It’s likely set up by Li Feng using his True Essence. Don’t worry, Little Li is very safe inside. This restriction has a protective effect, and it was probably set up by Li Feng to protect her.”
“Junior Sister Li…”
Before Feng Yu Die could even speak, Li Longling interrupted, “Ling’er, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to Senior Sister Feng alone.”
The maidservant beside her didn’t know what was happening, but she could see that it seemed like a big deal, so she didn’t say much. After responding, she withdrew from the back hall and closed the door.
Hearing the door close, Li Longling confirmed, “Senior Sister Feng, has Ling’er gone out?”
“…Ah, yes.”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t dissuade my father. My father has become obsessed.”
“It’s alright, this isn’t your fault.”
Li Longling nodded with pursed lips, took a deep breath, and asked, “Senior Sister Feng, does your Junior Brother have a way to stop my father?”
“Yes!”
“That’s good.” Li Longling clenched her fists and covered her chest. “Under the head of my bed in my bedroom, there is a hidden compartment. Inside is a jade pendant, which is my token of trust. Senior Sister Feng, please take it later. This is probably the only thing I can do to help you.”
“Jade pendant?”
“Yes, take the jade pendant and find the guard captain of Chi Long Mansion. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing me. They will obey your orders.”
Feng Yu Die took note and nodded, then cupped her fist in a salute. “Then, Junior Sister Li, I will come to pick you up after things are settled. Please stay here during this time.”
“Mm.”
Li Longling nodded, then listened to Feng Yu Die’s footsteps gradually fade away. Only when she could no longer hear them did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Her father had just told her that his lifespan was less than a month away.
If Feng Yu Die and the others could stop her father, she would undoubtedly have to face the news of her father’s death.
She knew that by helping Feng Yu Die and the others now, she was almost becoming an accomplice to her father’s death.
Perhaps it was better not to care about anything.
Her father had broken through his bottleneck through blood sacrifice, extending his lifespan, and would continue to be by her side.
But…
“Father, I’m sorry.”
At this moment, the door of the back hall was pushed open again.
The maidservant who had gone out saw Feng Yu Die run away and then returned, asking, “Miss, what exactly happened?”
“Nothing, Ling’er.” Li Longling sniffled, a smile on her face. “Can you go to the bookshelf in my father’s study and find a storybook to read to me?”
“Hmm? Which book would you like to hear, Miss? What is its name?”
“Just bring a few. Any book from the bookshelf will do. When I was little, Father often read me those storybooks.”
“Yes…”
