King of Ling Mountain had someone escort Ling Hua back to her residence, and once she entered the room, she retired for the night early.
She wasn't worried that Ye Rui wouldn't be able to rescue Xiao Zhen, nor was she concerned about any mishaps along the way. She had known of Ye Rui's capabilities many years ago when she first came to Ling Mountain with her maternal grandfather. Over the years, many had eyed his position as the Princely Heir like wolves and tigers, but no one could unseat him. Usually quiet and unassuming, he was in fact ruthless when necessary. None of those who caused trouble in Ling Mountain could match him; he was the most successful successor trained by the King of Ling Mountain.
Liuli, Wangshu, and the others were all waiting for Ye Rui's orders. Throughout the night, Ling Mountain was in turmoil. The only ones that likely slept well were Ling Hua and those commoners who knew nothing of these events.
