Liu Lingxian was completely bewildered by the outburst and had no idea what was happening...

I was just worried about the other person's safety, why am I being scolded for that?

I was also somewhat helpless. Liu Lingxian's intentions were good, but for Tuoba San, who was burdened with great fortune, her words were no different from an insult...

Which chosen one of destiny doesn't teeter on the edge of life and death? Words like "forging ahead," "defying fate," and "living towards death" seem tailor-made for them…

However, Tuoba San's words were ultimately too hurtful, so I quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Hey, how can you talk to Xian'er like that? She's only trying to help us. How can you be so mean to her? Look how upset Xian'er is!"

Hearing my words, Liu Lingxian was deeply moved, thinking to herself that someone finally understood her...

Tuoba San looked at Liu Lingxian with a displeased expression, increasingly feeling that women were just troublesome; they cried at the drop of a hat and needed to be coaxed. Just thinking about it gave him a headache. Cultivation was much more appealing…

"Xian'er, don't be angry. I know you're doing this for our own good, but you also know Xiao San's temper. Once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it. Only I'm willing to go through all this trouble with him..."

Liu Lingxian didn't sense anything amiss at all. It was Murong Xuanxuan beside her who realized that I was being hypocritical, and that I was single-mindedly trying to send my son to his death in the Three Forbidden Lands...

"Uncle Tuoba, I want to go with you..."

After thinking for a moment, a resolute look appeared in Liu Lingxian's eyes, and she stated her decision...

A thoughtful look flashed across Murong Xuanxuan's eyes. She seemed to have figured out my purpose: to trick Liu Lingxian into going along. This made her feel somewhat threatened, afraid that someone would be competing with her for the emperor's favor...

She thought to herself, "Liu Lingxian loves Tuoba San. No matter how beastly I am, I would never do something like stealing my son's woman, would I?"

But then I thought again, she's still my ex-daughter-in-law, and I still made a move on her, so what's more, this beautiful woman I have no connection with? Besides, moral constraints don't seem to have any effect on me...

"no…"

Two equally resounding voices interrupted Murong Xuanxuan's thoughts...

Tuoba San and Bai Xiwen both appeared serious, and their words were quite heated…

Bai Xiwen spoke first.

"You can't go there, that's forbidden territory, people will die there..."

Tuoba San then said

"I don't want to bring a burden along..."

Liu Lingxian glanced at Bai Xiwen, then at Tuoba San. Although they conveyed the same meaning, their motivations were different…

"Fifth Senior Brother, my affairs are none of your business..."

Liu Lingxian didn't dare to lose her temper with Tuoba San, so she could only hurt her sycophant. However, she didn't realize that this would cause Bai Xiwen a lot of psychological harm...

"Junior sister, if you dare to be so willful, I'll tell Master..."

Seeing that her words had no effect, Bai Xiwen had no choice but to bring up Liu Changqing...

Liu Lingxian's main trait right now is rebellion. Even if her father were here, let alone not here, she would never listen to him…

Once you're head over heels in love, your mind can't hold anything else...

"Go ahead and tell on me, go ahead and be the villain, but don't delay my adventure..."

Liu Lingxian said in an unfriendly tone, then turned away and ignored Bai Xiwen...

This made Bai Xiwen scratch her head in frustration, just then Tuoba San said without a trace of emotion.

"Why are you such a nuisance, woman? I've always said you're a burden..."

Liu Lingxian looked at Tuoba San with a pitiful expression and asked in a low voice...

"Third Brother, you're lying, aren't you? You're saying this because you're afraid I'll be in danger, aren't you?"

Seeing that my eldest son was about to retort, I quickly pulled him back and said...

“Son, speak nicely to Xian’er. Not only has Grandma Saint Puppet been kind to you, but she has also passed on her legacy to you. Xian’er is her most beloved junior. How can you treat her like a burden?”

Upon hearing my words, Tuoba San swallowed back the words he was about to say...

However, he still said very reluctantly.

"You can go, but I can't guarantee your safety..."

Upon hearing that Tuoba San had agreed to let him go along, he no longer cared about safety and said happily...

"Don't worry, with my abilities, I can protect myself..."

Tuoba San remained noncommittal and didn't say anything further; he mainly didn't want to go against my wishes...

Bai Xiwen grew increasingly anxious. Just then, he received a message from the sect and quickly checked it…

After reading the message, he was stunned. He looked at Tuoba San in disbelief…

"Junior sister, since you've decided to go with Brother Tuoba, I'll head back to the sect now..."

After Bai Xiwen finished speaking, she turned and left quickly…

Watching his retreating figure, Liu Lingxian was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Bai Xiwen would so readily let her take the risk; this wasn't his usual style…

This made her a little unhappy. She didn't understand why a sycophant would suddenly stop fawning over her; there was definitely something wrong with this, and something unusual was bound to happen...

Considering that Bai Xiwen only left after receiving a message from the sect, could it be that something major happened within the sect?

Liu Lingxian grew increasingly suspicious. To verify her suspicions, she immediately sent a message to her father, asking what had happened, but received no response…

She tried contacting other members of the sect, but the result was the same; no one responded. This gradually made her uneasy…

"Xian'er, has something happened?"

I could tell that Liu Lingxian was a little nervous; something bad must have happened…

"Uncle Tuoba, I don't know why, but no one in the sect has responded to my messages, which makes me very uneasy..."

Liu Lingxian voiced her concerns…

I frowned and pondered for a moment. Something must have happened, but I guessed one of the purposes was to keep Liu Lingxian here…

At this moment, I quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Why don't you go back to the sect and take a look? That way you'll feel more at ease. Whether you come back or not, we'll wait for you for a day..."

Liu Lingxian's eyes flickered. If she didn't go back now and something happened, she would regret it for the rest of her life. So, after only a slight hesitation, she agreed to the method...

"Uncle Tuoba, Third Brother, you must wait for me..."

Liu Lingxian was still worried and gave me a few more instructions. Only after I gave her a positive answer did she take the lead and fly towards the sect...

"Father, why are you bringing this burden along?"

Tuoba San asked, quite puzzled…

“Son, you’re still young and don’t understand many things. Her father is the sect leader of the Divine Puppet Sect. With that status, she’ll have far fewer troubles wherever she goes…”

Hearing my words, Tuoba San nodded as if he understood, but he didn't seem to care much. After all, his life motto was "If you're not convinced, fight!"

On the contrary, Murong Xuanxuan looked disdainful. If you're lusting after someone's body, just say so. Why use the excuse of doing what's best for everyone to satisfy your own desires? How hypocritical…
