Chapter 639 Ending Three

Xiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to look up to see if Di Jingling was injured.

[My goodness, no way, really?]

Her hands were also groping around Di Jingling's body in a very improper way, checking if he was injured. Then, Bai Doudou's terrified cry came from behind: "Father!"

She turned her head and saw that it wasn't Di Jingling who was injured, but rather the White Sect Master who had been pierced through the heart by an arrow.

Furthermore, that arrow was different from the ones next to it; it had runes engraved on it.

The archer... was Huangfu Mohan, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

When Yan Jiu grabbed him by the back of his collar, he actually shot an arrow with his backhand.

The arrow fletching was short, like something a child would play with.

Wasn't his tendons in his hands and feet severed?

With the sect leader shot dead, all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were thrown into chaos.

...

When Xiao Tang was being led down the mountain, she took the initiative to go to the carriage in front to check on Huangfu Mohan.

As a result, the father and son sat in the front carriage without saying a word.

The two sat like statues, calm and silent.

Xiao Tang looked at them, her lips twitching slightly.

There are some things I'm unsure whether I should say or not.

Well, seeing the awkwardness on the father and son's faces, she decided to keep quiet.

Back in the carriage, they waited for Emperor Jingling to finish up and descend the mountain.

I waited for a long time.

Yan Jiu stood guard outside the carriage.

Xiao Tang asked Yan Jiu, "When will he be able to come down? Is he injured?"

Yan Jiu replied matter-of-factly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. His Majesty is not injured. It's just that there are some matters that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect needs to resolve, and it does take some time."

"Yan Jiu, what are you planning to do next? Tell me about it."

Xiao Tang leaned against the window and asked him curiously.

She always felt that Di Jingling hadn't simply come to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to pick her up.

I should have done something "incidentally".

Yan Jiu scratched his head.

"Where is Yan Shi?"

Yan Jiu continued to scratch his head, unsure whether he should speak or not.

And so, the two of them just stared at each other.

A while later, Di Jingling came down the mountain. He sat down next to Xiao Tang and slowly asked, "Do you have any questions for me?"

"If I ask you, you'll tell me, right?"

"Of course, I'll answer Tangtang's question to the best of my knowledge." The man's lips curled into a slight smile.

Seeing his spirited expression, Xiao Tang guessed that the man must really have his own plans.

Absolutely!

"Emperor Dongyuan...you want to...deal with him?"

Seeing his confident smile, Xiao Tang was certain that her guess was correct.

Di Jingling held her hand. "Of course, after all, it's time to end this."

He could end his feud with the Dongyuan Kingdom; he didn't want to waste any more time entangled with them.

Xiao Tang understood.

"I'll send someone to take you back first."

"No way!" Xiao Tang immediately objected. "Your friend Huangfu Mohan hasn't recovered yet. I can stay and treat him. As for the rest, you can rest assured. Go do your thing, I'll wait for you."

"Um?"

Fly freely, your sister will always be with you.

Xiao Tang tilted her little face and looked at him with a smile.

His facial expressions already revealed a lot of emotions.

Di Jingling was already holding her small hand, and now he simply held it in his palm and played with it, lowering his eyes and lost in thought.

"Alright, then I'll arrange for you to stay at the inn. We'll split up later. Yan Jiu will escort you to the inn to rest. I have other matters to attend to."

"Will you come to see me tonight?" Xiao Tang asked, grabbing his large hand in return.

His cold eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile in them, as he affectionately flicked her nose.

When did you become so clingy?

"Pshaw~ That's not true!"

[Okay, okay, I just haven't cuddled you to sleep in a long time, can't I even be clingy a little?]

They say no, but what they really think is something else entirely.

Hearing her insincere words, Di Jingling didn't say anything, but simply agreed, "I'll come back to find you tomorrow night."

He also patted her head and said, "Be a good girl and wait for me."

It's like coaxing a small pet.

Xiao Tang's face showed dissatisfaction, but she did not stop him anymore.

It wasn't until Di Jingling got off the carriage and left, until she had arrived at the inn to rest.

Her heart was somewhat adrift and uneasy.

When she went to see Huangfu Mohan, she seemed particularly absent-minded.

Huangfu Mohan had already been bathed and changed by the guards. Even his messy, tangled hair had been specially trimmed and tied into a simple bun, revealing his original appearance.
