But Bai Ling was not afraid, she knew she was the personal maid of the heir of the Blood Demon Sect, and her father, the Supre Elder of the Blood Demon Sect, had once told her, "No matter what happens, you must rember, no matter what difficulties you face, you must stay strong and live on, only by surviving will there be hope!"
Therefore, Bai Ling knew what she should do.
......
"Eh? That woman, how could she appear here?" Bai Ling had just walked into the cave dwelling when she noticed a dark figure swiftly sweep past the entrance.
Seeing this, Bai Ling’s eyes flickered with confusion, she did not recognize this dark figure, nor did she know whether the other party was friend or foe, but she knew she had to be cautious and could not act recklessly.
Bai Ling took a deep breath, then slowly walked to the wall, stepped on the wall, and then leaped up, jumping towards the top of the cave.
After Bai Ling’s body landed on the cave’s top, she stood in place and saw a person in black standing at the center of the cave dwelling, with a table placed beside the person in black.
"Hmph, there are actually two caves!" Bai Ling snorted coldly, then walked toward the person in black.
"Boy, don’t co any closer." The person in black saw Bai Ling approaching and couldn’t help but snort coldly, his palm flipped, revealing several sharp daggers, which he then thrust towards Bai Ling.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Bai Ling ignored the warning of the person in black, she simply stretched out her hand, grabbed all the daggers, and then forcefully twisted them, only to hear the crisp sound of "snap snap snap", the daggers all broke into pieces.
"How is this possible? You clearly only have the martial prowess of the ninth stage of Martial Apprentice, why can’t you even block a single one of my strikes?" The person in black watched as all of his daggers were broken by Bai Ling, his face suddenly turned pale, he exclaid in shock, and then quickly retreated.
"Since you’ve co, do you not plan to leave?" Bai Ling’s mouth curled into a sly smile, and then she pounced on the person in black.
"Boom..."
The two clashed again, but Bai Ling completely overpowered the person in black, who only felt a massive force coming at him, causing his body to uncontrollably fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the person in black showed a look of horror in his eyes, he had not expected that this seemingly frail youth would be so formidable.
"Who are you, really, and why did you co here?" The person in black looked at Bai Ling and could not help but ask, his eyes full of wariness.
"Hehe." Bai Ling chuckled lightly and said, "My na is Bai Ling, I ca today to ask you to tell , where exactly did the heir of the Blood Demon Sect go? Why has his cultivation improved so rapidly?"
The person in black heard this, his brows furrowed, clearly annoyed by Bai Ling’s questions, because in his view, Bai Ling was deliberately picking a quarrel, and this matter was not supposed to be his concern.
Seeing this, the murderous intent in Bai Ling’s eyes intensified.
"What do you want to do?" The person in black saw this, his eyes widening, and then he asked.
"What do you think?" Bai Ling said, and then fiercely kicked the person in black’s stomach, only to hear a "puchi" sound, the person in black spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his stomach caved in.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, sneered, and then kicked hard at the person in black’s chest.
With a "bang", the person in black flew out like a cannonball and then slamd heavily against the cave wall.
After the person in black was sent flying, Bai Ling quickly ran to his side and then punched him hard in the stomach.
"Puchi..."
"Ahhh..."
The person in black felt his internal organs shift from Bai Ling’s punch and then spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with terror.
Seeing this, Bai Ling coldly snorted with disdain.
"You better cooperate obediently, or I will cripple all your martial skills, and then I will kill you myself," Bai Ling said to the person in black who lay twitching on the ground.
After she spoke, Bai Ling turned around, ready to walk outside.
"Wait... wait a mont... I’ll tell you," the person in black hurriedly called out.
Bai Ling, upon hearing this, a gleam of sharpness flashed in her eyes, but she didn’t show it, instead continuing to walk forward.
"Actually, the young master has indeed left the city," the man in black stated, watching Bai Ling’s retreating figure as he slowly spoke.
"Left the city? Then why hasn’t he returned? Could sothing have happened to him?" Bai Ling’s form stiffened, yet she still feigned calmness as she asked, cursing inwardly, Damn it, I refuse to believe that brat would dare to play !
"He left a month ago and has yet to return, so I suspect sothing has happened to him," the man in black continued.
"Hasn’t returned for a month?" Bai Ling’s brows furrowed upon hearing this.
Seeing her reaction, a triumphant smile flickered in the man in black’s eyes, "You needn’t worry about the young master, his martial skills are quite high. Unless there’s soone more formidable hunting him, he is basically untouchable."
"Really?" Joy briefly sparked in Bai Ling’s eyes upon hearing this, but she quickly concealed it. She looked at the man in black and said, "Then tell , what exactly happened? I need to know the truth to figure out what to do!"
"This is what happened..." After listening to Bai Ling, the man in black started to explain in detail.
"So that’s how it is," Bai Ling said with a nod after she had listened.
...
The following day, early morning.
Sunlight stread through the window into the room, a warm cascade of rays enveloping Bai Ling in its glow.
In her sleep, Bai Ling moved slightly, then opened her eyes. She realized sothing soft was pressing against her neck. Looking down, she discovered a small and exquisitely ford pillow beneath her neck.
"Mm~~" Bai Ling made a soft sound and then tried to move her head to remove the object, but the soft thing seed to be stuck fast between her neck. Despite Bai Ling’s vigorous twisting, it was to no avail. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and give up the struggle.
Who could have such a strange sleeping position, Bai Ling thought, and such a hard pillow, too. Did he sleep with an iron block as a pillow, or a stone as a mattress?
"Sigh..." Bai Ling shook her head and then turned over, preparing to continue resting with her eyes closed. Just as she was about to fall back asleep, a strong feeling of danger surged within her. Her divine consciousness rapidly expanded, and she discovered three n in black standing around the cave.
"Hmph, to think they’re three early-stage Ninth-Layer Qi Realm experts, quite troubleso," Bai Ling narrowed her eyes upon seeing them and then sat up, ready to face the challenge.
Three Ninth-Layer Qi Realm experts would certainly be more than enough to deal with soone at the Fifth Layer of the sa realm, but what Bai Ling hadn’t expected was that these experts weren’t after her.
They were after her master, Liu Zheng!
Bai Ling frowned, unsure of what deep hatred Liu Zheng had with these people. Judging by the current situation, the man in black must know sothing but seed to be deliberately stalling for ti, perhaps wanting her to beg for rcy.
"Miss, are you awake?" Qing Lan ca in with breakfast and, seeing Bai Ling lost in thought, couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes," Bai Ling nodded.
"Then I’ll put down the breakfast and take my leave," Qing Lan said, ready to leave.
"Wait!" Bai Ling quickly called out upon seeing this.
"Do you have any further instructions, Miss?" Qing Lan stopped and asked with confusion.
"Give your silver note," Bai Ling said bluntly.
"Miss, that’s the compensation you deserve, I haven’t taken it," Qing Lan responded upon hearing this.
"I know, but you keep that money. After all, it can help you buy a nice house, and you’ll be able to live a wealthy life," Bai Ling said.
"Miss!" Qing Lan said with so gratitude.
"Don’t call miss anymore, call big sister from now on," Bai Ling said, then turned and left.
"Big sister," Qing Lan called out, realizing that she indeed would beco a ’big sister’ from now on. She used to be just a servant girl, but now she was referred to as a ’big sister’. Although she was reluctant to acknowledge this change, the fact was now before her eyes, leaving her with no choice but to accept it.
