Her name is Ling Hao. Her surname, Ling, originated from the Linghu family line, slowly changing over time. Although her surname and given name are unusual, Ling Hao felt that everything else about...

Chapter 89 It can't get dirty.
Bai Yumo was a lecherous and cruel man who treated the Beggars' Sect disciples who followed him very harshly; he was utterly despicable. If it weren't for his pet and his own considerable martial arts skills, he would have been killed long ago.
His pets were a group of snakes. Bai Yumo used these snakes to instill fear and dread in his followers, making them afraid to resist. However, despite this, the Beggar Clan disciples who followed him were filled with resentment; after all, no one is a fool who enjoys being beaten and verbally abused.
Therefore, these Beggars' Sect disciples secretly leaked Bai Yumo's whereabouts. This is precisely why it was so easy for Shici and the others to find him. Otherwise, it would have taken considerable time. Kyoto isn't a huge city, nor is it small, and its population is diverse; finding someone would still require time.
Once Bai Yumo's trail was discovered, he couldn't escape. Shi Ci personally took charge, keeping an eye on him. Her Turtle Breathing Technique was the best of all martial arts, so keeping an eye on someone was nothing. However, she hadn't expected Bai Yumo's intuition to be so strong. Even though she hadn't left any clues, he still anxiously sent his snake out to investigate.
Shici was a bold person; she had never been afraid of anything since childhood. Whether it was insects or snakes, they were all no different from chickens in her eyes. She was just a little troubled; if she accidentally killed Bai Yumo, the eldest young master would definitely be angry.
The young lady was so angry; she clearly needed a scapegoat, and the White Jade Demon was precisely the scapegoat the eldest young master had specially prepared for her. If Shi Ci were to kill someone, that petty young master would definitely cause trouble. Sigh, working for others is really not easy.
Thinking this, Shici easily leaped away, leading the snakes in circles. But soon, she no longer needed to lead the snakes in circles, because she saw a flash of cold light kill several snakes.
"Understood, your young lady has arrived." Poetry silently moved further away. In any case, neither the White Jade Demon nor those Beggar Clan disciples were a match for your young lady; she'd better stand further away to avoid being disliked by the young master.
Poetry has a very clear understanding of its own position.
In order to find the White Jade Demon, Ling Hao staked out Chu Liuxiang and encountered that embarrassing situation. She spent the whole day on this, but the White Jade Demon wasn't very capable; Ling Hao quickly subdued him, and she also killed his swarm of snakes.
As she stepped on the White Jade Demon, Ling Hao was still somewhat dazed. Ah, this was too easy! But she quickly forgot about it. She could even kill Ouyang Feng; a mere White Jade Demon was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
Sure enough, she's amazing, hahaha. Ling Hao laughed loudly in her heart, and put even more pressure on her feet.
So, Bai Yumo, who was boasting that he was an honored guest of the Beggars' Sect, was stomped on by Ling Hao until he vomited blood. She didn't care about Bai Yumo's resentment; she just looked at her Suixue, somewhat troubled. She wanted to retaliate, but she couldn't let such scum tarnish her Suixue.
Young Master Yu, who had just knocked out all the Beggars' Sect disciples, frowned upon seeing this scene. That White Jade Demon truly deserved to die; he had actually coughed up blood and dirtied Ah Hao's shoes. He walked to Ah Hao's side. "Ah Hao, here you go." He handed her a knife. "Bought from a weapon shop, it's nothing special."
Ling Hao was overjoyed. "You really understand me, A-Yu." She handed the snowflakes in her hand to Gongzi Yu. "Hold this for me."
Gongzi Yu accepted Ling Hao's Sui Xue sword, a joyful smile spreading across his face. This was Ah Hao's sword, and the fact that she was willing to let him hold it meant their relationship was special.
Ling Hao didn't think much of it; handing the broken snow to Gongzi Yu was an unconscious action, but it actually showed her trust in him. Now, she raised the knife and gave Bai Yumo a "kind" smile, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon."
Having said that, with a swift stroke, Ling Hao gave Bai Yumo a quick death, making him instantly celibate and penniless. Oh, actually, not quite. She deliberately veered off course a little when she struck, not completely turning Bai Yumo into a celibate and penniless person.
She looked at the white jade demon, who was wailing but whose eyes were full of resentment, and smiled rather insincerely, saying, "I'm really sorry, it's been a while since I've done this, so I'm a bit rusty. Don't worry, I'll do it again." Then, she gave him another stab.
This time, she helped Bai Yumo break free completely.
Before Bai Yumo fainted, she saw a smile that pleased Ling Hao. A devil, this woman is a devil!
Unbeknownst to the unconscious Bai Yumo, this idea had been shared by others before, namely, the solitary traveler Tian Boguang. However, Tian Boguang was long dead, and if reincarnation were possible, he would likely be livestock or game, at the mercy of others.
Ling Hao squatted down and wiped the blade on Bai Yumo's body. Although she didn't want to get her own Sui Xue dirty, which was why she used this knife, the knife hadn't done anything wrong and still needed to be kept clean. "Now, who should we throw him to? The Divine Marquis's Mansion? Or the Ministry of Justice?"
"The Ministry of Justice," Gongzi Yu said after a moment's thought. "As for the Beggars' Sect, send them to the Six Doors." Bai Yumo, a man who came later and is no longer trusted, probably doesn't know much about Nangong Ling and that Japanese man; sending him to the Divine Marquis's Mansion would be useless. Just treat him as someone who broke the law and punish him accordingly.
Ling Hao turned to look at Gongzi Yu and said with a smile, "I thought you would say to send it to the Divine Marquis's Mansion. After all, Bai Yumo is a Jianghu person and is involved with the Beggar Clan. It would be more appropriate for the Divine Marquis's Mansion to handle it." But thinking about it, it's not bad. The Divine Marquis's Mansion is very busy right now. If they add Bai Yumo's case to the mix, they probably won't have a break for several days.
Gongzi Yu said, "Now the White Jade Demon will no longer be involved with the Beggars' Sect."
"Hmm?" Linghao felt that the young master might have done something.
Gongzi Yu said, "Nangong Ling will be sent to the capital soon, and the Beggars' Sect has already severed ties with him." Hong Qigong wasn't at the Beggars' Sect headquarters, so the other elders helped make this decision. But to Gongzi Yu, this was completely useless.
Since he intends to target the Beggars' Sect, the elders' attempts to sever ties are futile; he will still act. However, the methods will be more moderate, but this is due to his own goodwill, not the Beggars' Sect elders' pragmatism.
Ling Hao immediately realized what was going on, "You had someone arrest Nangong Ling before, didn't you?" It was obvious that no one but him would arrest Nangong Ling without knowing anything.
"Yes," Gongzi Yu replied with a smile. Don't tell him there's no evidence to prove Nangong Ling is wrong; he's not exactly a righteous person, he doesn't need that. Once the person is brought to the capital, then there will be evidence.
"That's good too." Ling Hao didn't know about Gongzi Yu's complicated situation, but she felt that it was good that the matter had come to an end so easily.
She had absolutely no liking for Nangong Ling. Leaving aside the fact that he had harmed his adoptive father who had painstakingly raised him, the mere fact that he had found the White Jade Demon for his own purposes and then allowed him to run rampant made her despise Nangong Ling. Yes, she hated him because of his influence.
Gongzi Yu smiled and took the knife from her hand, then handed the Broken Snow back to her. "Now that the White Jade Demon has been dealt with, shall we go back?"
"What about these people? Are they just sitting here?" Ling Hao looked around and thought that if these twenty or thirty people were just left here, someone passing by would probably be scared to death.
“The poems are nearby; she’ll handle them. She won’t overlook anything that needs to be sent to the Ministry of Justice or the Six Doors,” Gongzi Yu said. “So, let’s go back.”
Ling laughed. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back." After chopping off two ounces of meat from Bai Yumo, the anger that had been pounding in her chest subsided.
Seeing that Linghao was in a good mood, Gongzi Yu decided to order his men to hurry up and send more flower thieves to the capital.
Ling Hao, however, thought of another person: Bai Choufei. If she remembered correctly, Bai Choufei was no good either. He had harmed many people and humiliated many women for his own purposes. He used to be a morally ambiguous person, though some of his methods were quite extreme, but later he changed. To achieve his goals, he would stop at nothing, threatening to kill, ruthless and merciless.
He was very good at pretending; he had a good face and the prestigious identity of being Su Mengzhen's sworn brother, so he disguised himself very well. Su Mengzhen and Wang Xiaoshi treated him as a good brother, Wenrou treated him as a good friend, and even those in the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion who were unaware of the truth regarded him as a good brother.
But in reality, Bai Choufei had already changed. He was cruel and bloodthirsty. To appear approachable, he personally took the baby of an ordinary woman. However, because the baby urinated on him, he ordered his men to kill the entire family.
She hadn't thought of him before, but now that she did, Linghao felt the snowflakes in her hand stirring restlessly. Bai Choufei. Linghao narrowed her eyes.
"Ah Hao?" Gongzi Yu looked at her with some confusion. "Why are you angry?" Although only a trace of her sword aura was leaked, he still noticed it. Because his attention was entirely focused on her, he saw every slight change in her.
"My hands are itching a bit," Ling Hao said with a forced smile. "I'm going to get started."
Gongzi Yu blinked, wondering if he should tell her about the surprise he had prepared for her?
"Ayu, come with me to issue the challenge," Linghao said.
"Who should I look for?"
"White sorrow flies."
"good."
In the Golden Breeze and Drizzle Pavilion, Wenrou stormed out of Su Mengzhen's place, fuming. The two siblings had started arguing again, or rather, Wenrou had been arguing with Su Mengzhen on her own, and was so angry that she ran away.
This scene was common, and everyone was used to it. Only Bai Choufei stood smiling in front of Wenrou, gently asking her questions and softly comforting her.
In Wenrou's heart, Bai Choufei was a very gentle older brother figure, so she naturally didn't mind telling him. Just then, something flew towards Bai Choufei, startling her, and she immediately went to help.
However, Bai Choufei had already reached out and caught it before that.
