Wen Shaoan was both touched and ashamed, realizing he hadn't even handled this small matter properly and had to ask Linglan to step in personally.
He never expected that he would almost be caught off guard and fall into the hands of an ordinary young girl.
“There are several sword energies hidden on this…” He cautiously looked at the talisman on the ground.
Having learned her lesson in this matter, Linglan was even more wary than Wen Shaoan and dared not approach to investigate.
But then, she abruptly turned her head to look at Xie Xiao lying on the ground, a strange smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"It seems that this little girl is very important to Ruan Mingzhuo, otherwise he would not have wasted his magic power to leave a few sword energies for her."
Xie Xiaoxin was in so much pain in her chest that she couldn't get up for a long time, but she wouldn't back down: "That's right, Zhuozhuo and I are good friends. You old hag, you better let me go quickly, or she won't let you off!"
Wearing a black veil doesn't make you so great; you're so ruthless. You're definitely an old hag.
Linglan's expression immediately changed, and she raised her hand to slap Xie Xiao, "Who are you calling an old hag?"
She hates it most when people say the word "old" in front of her.
Xie Xiao: "I'm calling you, you old hag! If you're so capable, confront Zhuozhuo head-on. What kind of skill is it to resort to underhanded tricks behind her back? Zhuozhuo only let you off the hook because she had to take the college entrance exam. Now that she's fine, she's planning to send you off to your funeral. She's on her way right away, you just wait!"
She had a very good memory and suddenly remembered what Mingzhuo had said about the beautiful woman's funeral that day.
The woman in front of him was beautiful and alluring, but her eyes were vicious. She must have done countless bad things and was definitely the one Mingzhuo was going to send to his funeral.
Linglan was furious. Who was she? How dare a mere mortal be so insolent in front of her?
She wanted to slap Xie Xiao twice, but Wen Shaoan stopped her.
Wen Shaoan was still somewhat uneasy, worried that something might happen. "This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's leave quickly."
Xie Xiao: "You old hag, you can't escape! Zhuozhuo won't let you get away with this!"
Wen Shaoan: "..."
He was truly speechless. How could this little girl be so stubborn? Wasn't she afraid of dying?
He had to use all his persuasion to stop Linglan, fearing that she might kill him in her rage.
Wen Shaoan quickly implanted a puppet talisman into Xie Xiao's body, and Xie Xiao's eyes immediately became vacant, and the world finally fell silent.
Linglan said coldly, "Is this how you defend her?"
Wen Shaoan: "Alright, Linglan, don't be angry anymore. We still need her to unlock that amulet."
Linglan snorted coldly, did some calculations with her fingers, and then walked to the side to make a phone call.
Having suffered several losses at Mingzhuo's hands, she no longer dared to underestimate him.
Upon receiving the reply, a relieved smile appeared on her face. She turned to Wen Shaoan and said, "Ruan Mingzhuo has already gone to the north of the city."
Wen Shaoan also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that our release of information about Chu Yuqi was very effective this time; they really fell for it."
Linglan: "What is Ruan Mingzhuo? She's not even ranked in the Xuanmen these days. Do you think she can figure out my position? You're overestimating her."
Wen Shaoan did not object, "You're right, I also think that a great reputation is hard to live up to, and Chu Yuqi is the best example."
The more popular and high-spirited the Xuanmen Fairy Chu was online back then, the more ironic it is now.
Linglan walked over, picked up her unconscious aunt, and fed her something.
Wen Shaoan was startled, but did not stop him. "Is it necessary to do this?"
“Why not? What if what she said is true? Ruan Mingzhuo has already arrived, so of course I have to leave her some good things.” Linglan said nonchalantly, “Besides, in order to prevent others from knowing that I exist, these two cannot be left behind.”
Wen Shaoan immediately had no objections; compared to Linglan's life, other people's lives were of course unimportant.

He Wangyao walked to the door, took a deep breath, and knocked.
The door opened a crack, and a hoarse voice asked from inside, "Who are you looking for?"
He Wangyao flashed her signature smile: "Hello, Auntie! I'm He Wangyao, Xie Xiao's friend. Is she at your house?"
"Not here!" the middle-aged woman said, about to close the door.
He Wangyao sensed something was wrong and quickly stuck her foot inside the door. "Wait a minute, but we found out that Xie Xiao went to her aunt's house today. You're her aunt, right?"
A hint of struggle flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes, as if she had something to say.
He Wangyao quickly squeezed in and leaned closer, "Auntie, where is Xie Xiao?"
While listening attentively, he subtly glanced around the room.
The middle-aged woman was clearly cleaning; a mop was placed in the corner, and there were shards of glass in the trash can.
There was no sign of Xie Xiao. The doors to several bedrooms in the corridor directly opposite were open, but no one came out.
It seemed that there was no third person in the room.
No, there's a third person! Hearing the breathing behind her, He Wangyao turned around abruptly and saw a middle-aged man standing silently behind her.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, then handed a glass of water to the middle-aged woman. "Aihua, are you alright?"
He Wangyao put away the exorcism talisman in her hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and almost mistook it for a sneak attack.
The middle-aged man limped over and closed the door.
"Ah, Xiaoxiao is gone." The middle-aged woman sat at the dining table, drank half a glass of water, and then said blankly, her eyes somewhat vacant.
He Wangyao was immediately drawn to the woman's attention. She walked over, bowed, and looked her in the eye. "Auntie, can you tell me what happened here?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes showed a hint of struggle as she clutched her head, seemingly recalling something painfully.
