"Um."
Ling Luo thought so too.
As if remembering something, Ye Xingxue asked again, "About a while ago?"
"Within two days."
Otherwise, after a while, those people's presence would dissipate, and she wouldn't be able to detect anything anymore.
Two days?
Ye Xingxue's expression darkened: "I think I know what's going on."
"Um?"
Ye Xingxue laughed: "Walls have ears, let's talk about it later."
Ling Luo nodded: "Oh..."
Grandpa Ling said that her mother had many belongings at home, but when Ling Luo looked through them, she found that they were all odds and ends, and there wasn't even a single photo.
Those things have neither sentimental value nor any practical use.
Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue didn't linger and turned to leave.
Grandpa Ling and the others were standing outside the door.
Without Ye Xingxue's permission, and fearing to offend him, they didn't even dare to enter their own homes.
Seeing them come out, Old Master Ling hurriedly said, "It's almost lunchtime. It's rare for the Crown Princess to come back, why don't you eat first and then—"
Ye Xingxue, holding Ling Luo's hand, said coldly, "No need."
With that, he boarded the aircraft with Ling Luo and left.
Seeing this, Old Master Ling and the others looked even more grim.
At this moment, the Zhou family members came over.
Zhou Gan's father asked, "The Crown Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince left so quickly?"
When Old Master Ling saw them, his expression darkened even further, and he responded with a somewhat indifferent tone.
The Zhou family's financial resources are relatively stronger than those of the Ling family.
He was naturally happy when Ling Ya and Zhou Gan got engaged.
But now that the Ling family has produced an Imperial Crown Princess, things are completely different.
With Ling Luo's connection, they will have the opportunity to break into the royal or aristocratic circles in the future.
Ling Ya has every opportunity to seize this chance and rise to prominence.
In this way, her engagement to Zhou Gan became a stumbling block to her advancement in social status.
Besides, Zhou Gan's attitude was too forceful when he tried to break off his engagement with Ling Luo.
This was not a pleasant memory for Ling Luo.
In order to avoid Ling Luo holding a grudge against them because of this incident, they naturally had to distance themselves from the Zhou family.
However, if this matter is not handled properly, it could easily ruin Ling Ya's reputation. Therefore, although Old Master Ling's attitude towards the Ling family has become much colder, he has not shown it too much.
How could the Zhou family not know what Old Master Ling was thinking?
Knowing that the Ling family now has a Crown Princess of the Empire, they are even more determined to maintain control over the marriage between Zhou Gan and Ling Ya.
If Ling Luo accepts the Ling family members back in the future, they will also benefit from it.
Therefore, after learning that Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue might return to pay their respects to Ling Guangyao, they arrived at the Ling family home early this morning.
They knew that Ling Luo was watching them, and that she probably still held a grudge about the broken engagement. They also knew that the only way for them to keep Ling Ya and Zhou Gan's engagement was to swallow their anger and cooperate with Old Master Ling's arrangements.
Therefore, when Grandpa Ling told them not to appear in front of Ling Luo today, they did as he said.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xiaoya, does that mean the royal banquet for the New Year is also canceled?"
During the Lunar New Year, the royal family hosts a banquet, and the guests who can attend are all nobles and celebrities.
This is the perfect opportunity to snag a rich husband.
That was the purpose of Grandpa Ling's initial request for Ling Ya to find Ling Luo.
Ling Ya said calmly, "At present, yes."
Zhou Xiaoxiao felt incredibly jealous; "This Ling Luo really thinks she's the Crown Princess, so arrogant. I'll see how long she can keep it up!"
"Alright, that's enough." Zhou's father gently scolded Zhou Xiaoxiao. Seeing that Grandpa Ling was in a bad mood, he wisely kept quiet and left with his wife and children.
On the other side.
Ling Luo and Ye Xingxue boarded the aircraft.
However, she had been using her divine sense to keep an eye on the situation of Old Master Ling and the others.
Hearing this, she asked Ye Xingxue, "Will the palace hold a banquet during the New Year?"
"Hmm." Ye Xingxue smiled: "Since when has Luo Luo started caring about this?"
"What Zhou Xiaoxiao just said seems to be that they called me back this time just so they could have a chance to attend this banquet."
"This should have been their original purpose."
He knows not only how Ling Luo's family treated her before she married him, but the entire internet knows it too.
Now that they're married, their attitude has completely changed. How could he not know what their purpose is?
"If I'm not mistaken, someone recently contacted them, wanting to inquire about ancient martial arts. They went into your parents' room, probably to look for ancient martial arts techniques."
Ling Luo was taken aback: "Looking for ancient martial arts techniques?"
"Um."
Ling Luo was sitting at this time.
Ye Xingxue squatted down to look her in the eye and said, "You performed exceptionally well during the assessment. Most people might think you're impressive but wouldn't think much of it. However, those in high positions who saw it would definitely recognize your extraordinary qualities. So... the people who approached them this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, are probably from other empires."
"They want to obtain the ancient martial arts techniques that your mother left you through the Ling family."
"However, judging from the fact that they would install surveillance cameras in the room, they probably didn't find anything very useful."
"In that case, they might also go to the desolate planet, to the place where you lived, to look for it."
Ye Xingxue asked again, "Did Luo Luo leave any cultivation techniques behind on the desolate star?"
"No."
Hearing this, Ling Luo finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that the reason others thought she was so powerful was because they believed her mother had left her some very powerful ancient martial arts techniques.
When the original owner went to live on the desolate planet, he did take several ancient martial arts manuals with him.
only……
She had read those manuals, and the content was all too poor.
In her opinion, that couldn't be called a secret manual at all.
She glanced at it a few times, then put it aside and never looked at it again.
even so.
Since these were things that the original owner cherished, even though she didn't think they were anything special, she still took them with her before leaving the desolate planet.
If someone were to actually search that desolate planet, they wouldn't find anything.
Since someone has their eye on Ling Luo, Ye Xingxue naturally has to deal with it.
He immediately contacted someone to investigate who Old Master Ling and his group had been in contact with recently, and then sent people to the desolate planet to conduct an investigation.
He had just finished contacting the person when his staff contacted him.
"Your Highness, while we were investigating the Crown Princess's mother, we discovered that someone had investigated her a few days ago."
