"Father, I'm afraid that their punishment will not go so smoothly." Xiao Muling narrowed her eyes, which were filled with danger.
If Xiao Liuce didn't die, she would not be at ease.
"Father can suppress these people in the family." He had been the family leader for so many years. If he couldn't even suppress this little bit of people, then he would've been the family leader for nothing.
"Father, it's different this time." After Xiao Muling said that, her eyes were filled with killing intent.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Canglan was slightly stunned. 'Ling'er can understand these things now. After that incident, she has grown up quite a bit overnight.'
"Father?" Xiao Muling called out when she saw his stunned expression.
"Indeed, it's different." Xiao Canglan returned to his senses and smiled gently at her.
The family's opposition would probably cause a huge ruckus. But since he had chased them out of the main family, he couldn't give Xiao Liuce a chance to turn things around.
"Father, you should have a death warrior who only listens to your orders, right?" Xiao Muling asked.
Every family would have a death warrior.
"I do. What are you going to do?"
There were death warriors, but not many. After all, the Xiao family couldn't afford to raise too many men of sacrifice.
"Father, why don't you order them to wait first?" Xiao Muling said mysteriously.
Xiao Canglan saw her expression and seemed to understand why she did this. "Okay." This was no big deal.
Xiao Muling turned her head to look back, her eyes filled with killing intent. 'It's fine if Xiao Liuce and the others don't cause trouble, but if they do… Then, blood will definitely be shed! Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys; otherwise, these people will have long forgotten who's in charge of the Xiao family!'
Xiao Muling didn't want to implicate her father in this matter, but in the end, she still implicated him.
Since that was the case, she would make use of this opportunity to deal with the Xiao family!
'The Xiao family should be reorganized!' Xiao Muling looked up at the sky and twisted her body. "Father, it's getting late. Be careful at home for the next few days. I'll go back and rest first…"
After some thought, Xiao Muling said, "Dad, I want to move somewhere else."
It wasn't that she didn't like the courtyard from before but that she had too many messy memories. Even though she had always been cultivating in the space and rarely came out, she could still remember those memories every time she came out.
Thus, she wanted to find another place to stay so that she could change her mood.
"Where do you want to stay?" This was simple.
Xiao Canglan didn't ask why Xiao Muling wanted to change her courtyard. He only wanted to ask where she wanted to change to.
"How about Linye Pavilion?" She remembered that nobody lived there. When she passed by that place once, she felt that the Spirit Qi there was special. It was a good place to cultivate.
'Linye Pavilion?' Xiao Canglan was slightly stunned. There was a flash of astonishment in his eyes as he looked at her, but he quickly recovered.
His series of emotions changed very quickly, but Xiao Muling still felt it. "Can't I go to the Linye Pavilion?" In her memory, that place had been empty for a long time.
Xiao Canglan smiled and patted her head dotingly. "Of course, you can. Daddy will get someone to clean it up immediately."
That place wasn't bad. In fact, it was too good.
He just didn't expect Ling'er to like that place too, which was why he was surprised.
Looking at the complicated smile in his eyes, Xiao Muling recalled that in the past, her father would always show such an expression when he talked about her mother.
Mother—this one word was unfamiliar to Xiao Muling.
It was said that after Xiao Muling was born, her mother was too weak to be saved. Hence, Xiao Muling didn't have a mother.
"Father, is that the place Mother used to like?" Xiao Muling tried to ask.
The smile on Xiao Canglan's face froze, and his hands stopped moving. Then, he smiled again. "Yes, she liked it. Ling'er seems to like it too; Father is very happy."
He pretended to be relaxed, but Xiao Muling knew that even after so many years, her father had never let go of her mother.
"Father, let's go eat. I'll move in after dinner. You don't have to find someone to serve me; I don't really like them." Xiao Muling wrinkled her nose and pulled Xiao Canglan away.
"Ling'er doesn't like them?" Xiao Canglan asked doubtfully.
"Yeah." She often entered the space. If someone else kept going in and out, they would know that she was often not in the room.
She was clearly at home but had disappeared. As time passed, people would start to suspect her.
"Then, I'll let Xiao Qing take care of your side?" He knew why Ling'er didn't like those people.
"Alright." Xiao Qing's words were still acceptable.
Xiao Canglan shook his head silently, his eyes filled with a doting smile.
A gentle breeze blew past them.
Xiao Canglan frowned and stopped, turning around to look behind.
At the same time, Xiao Muling also looked in his direction. Her gaze was filled with danger. 'There is somebody!'
Xiao Canglan looked around and didn't find anything else. He came back to his senses and said, "Ling'er, let's go."
Xiao Muling looked in that direction and nodded. "Mm."
'That person left very quickly, but it shouldn't be the person from last time. If it were him, he wouldn't be discovered so easily.' When she thought about the person from last time, she even suspected that he had done it on purpose so that she found him. 'As for this person… He should be here for the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox.'
That figure avoided everyone and left the Xiao family. He wore a black veil and stood in the crowd. He took another look at the Xiao family and secretly let out a breath.
Then, he quickly made his way through the crowd, looking at the tall, lofty building with its high doors. After that, he climbed over the wall and entered.
He looked around and smiled when he saw that nobody was around.
Just as he was about to turn around and walk toward his room, he saw a tall figure standing in front of him.
Although this person wore a mask, making him unable to see his face clearly, that pair of cold eyes made one's hair stand on end!
'I've been discovered!' His heart skipped a beat. Then, he cleared his throat and immediately grinned cheekily. "Prince Regent, I'm just curious about Xiao Muling. How could I allow you to personally make a trip to the Xiao family?"
Tist was why he took the risk and ran to the Xiao family. In any case, there were many people keeping an eye on the Xiao family recently. If this wasn't about the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, Xiao Canglan wouldn't suspect that he was going for Xiao Muling.
The Regent looked away coldly and turned around to walk back.
The man hurriedly took off his veil and followed after him. Under the veil, his face was exposed. He was also a first-class handsome man.
"Something is going to happen to the Xiao family."
The person walking forward stopped and looked over.
Seeing his reaction, the man laughed. "Are you worried about Xiao Muling?"
"She'll be fine." The tall figure continued walking back.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
"No need."
"What if she gets hurt?"
The Regent was already far away.
The man stood where he was and watched him walk away.
"Dong Lingmo!"
This person was really cold to him. But then again, after knowing him for so many years, he had only heard so much from the Xiao family this time!
