Ling Bing left Jiangmen and Bai Xie chased after her.
"Why are you following me? Are you trying to be my follower?" Ling Bing looked at Bai Xie sarcastically.
Bai Xie raised the corners of his lips and said with a playful smile: "My young master loves Miss Ruan very much. Seeing that Miss Ruan couldn't bear to hurt you, he sent me here!"
Ling Bing's eyes flickered slightly.
The next moment, Bai Xie's eyes were sharp and he suddenly attacked Ling Bing.
Ling Bing's expression froze, but she did not resist. Instead, she endured the attack from the white scorpion.
Ling Bing was seriously injured.
White Scorpion blew on his fist and said jokingly, "Alright, go and report!"
Ling Bing gritted her teeth and lay on the ground, "Just wait, I'll get it back from you sooner or later!"
White Scorpion glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come and seek revenge on me."
After saying that, White Scorpion walked away leisurely.
Ling Bing stared at his back and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He walked towards the Tianlou with difficulty.
When Ling Bing returned, Ruan Youning had already woken up.
She was extremely weak and her face was pale, almost transparent.
Hearing that she had woken up, the noble lady and several elders of Tianlou came over quickly.
Seeing the person coming, Ruan Youning half sat up from the bed and called out, "Mom."
The lady walked over to her bed and sat down, stretched out her hand to feel her pulse for a while, and her expression relaxed a little.
"What happened? Why did the Tongxin Gu backfire for no reason? Did Ling Bing betray you?" asked the lady.
Ruan Youning shook his head without even thinking, "No, Ling Bing couldn't possibly betray me. He must have been in danger."
The lady's expression brightened slightly. "He wouldn't betray you, no matter how good he is."
Then, she complained again, "It's your fault that Ling Bing took the risk just for Shui Youyou!"
Ruan Youning's eyes flashed with regret, and she bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "I was wrong."
Seeing her regret, the noble lady could not bear to blame her any more: "You are the Holy Maiden of Tianlou, of noble status. Ling Bing and you share the same aspirations, so he cannot afford to make any mistakes.
After all, your father cares about his existence.
Now that the Tongxin Gu in your bodies is gone, how will you control Ling Bing in the future?"
Ruan Youning said, "Mom, even without the Heart-to-Heart Gu, I still have the confidence to control Ling Bing."
"I hope the saint will do what she said and Ling Bing won't get into any accidents. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the owner of this building." One of the elders spoke up.
"Elder Lan, I know." Ruan Youning said.
Elder Lan looked at the noble lady again and said, "Madam, although you have held the sole power of the Heavenly Tower in recent years, please do not forget why you were able to marry the Tower Master in the first place."
The noble lady's expression suddenly turned ugly. She glared at the elders angrily and said, "You don't need to remind me. I remember."
Elder Lan remained unmoved. "The Saint's identity cannot be compromised. If the OP knew that his biological daughter had been killed by you, and that this person was just an imposter... you wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
Not to mention the lady, Ruan Youning also looked humiliated in an instant.
The word "fake" hurt her deeply.
She adjusted her expression and looked at the elders: "Elder Lan, you really don't take me seriously when you say that. After all, I am the current Saint of Tianlou. A living person is always more valuable than a dead person.
Besides, I am very good, and you have to admit that, right? "
Elder Lan looked at Ruan Youning and nodded with satisfaction after a long while. "I hope the Saint Lady won't let us down. There can't be any mishaps in the Heavenly Tower."
Just then, a subordinate came to report that Ling Bing had returned.
Everyone's expression suddenly became stern.
Not long after, Ling Bing walked in, supported by two Tianlou attendants.
Ling Bing's body was soaked in blood, and her face was even paler than Ruan Youning's.
He was dying. As soon as he came in, he fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
"Ling Bing!" Ruan Youning called out hurriedly.
"Saintess, I failed to live up to your expectations and failed to complete the mission. Shui Youyou was killed, and I was injured by the White Scorpion... Even the Heart Gu... was killed."
"I already know. If the Tongxin Gu is gone, it's gone. Even without it, you are still the person I trust the most."
Ruan Youning did not have a trace of blame in his heart, but instead comforted Ling Bing softly.
Ling Bing lowered her head, her eyes full of mockery, and began to thank him.
At this time, the noble lady and several elders came towards Ling Bing. Elder Yao took Ling Bing's pulse and found that he was seriously injured. He couldn't help but look solemn and hurriedly gave him acupuncture and medicine.
The noble lady said, "Ling Bing, tell us what happened in detail."
She is very cautious.
Ling Bing remained calm and told the story with a mixture of truth and falsehood.
The lady was relieved when she found no loophole.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside again.
"Who is it?" the lady turned her head and asked.
"Madam, Mr. Cheng is here!" said the attendant.
As soon as the voice fell, a tall and handsome man walked in.
As soon as he came in, he saw that there were quite a few people in the room. He was startled: "Several elders are here too. It seems that I came at the wrong time."
Suddenly, he saw Ruan Youning, who looked pale and weak, lying on the bed.
"Youning!"
His face changed drastically and he cried out.
"Youning, what happened? What's wrong with you?" Cheng Boxiao strode towards Ruan Youning.
"I'm fine, just a little injured." She didn't mention the backlash of the Tongxin Gu.
Cheng Boxiao looked concerned: "Who hurt you?"
He glanced at Ling Bing beside him inconspicuously, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"No one, someone hurt Ling Bing, so I was affected." Ruan Youning explained.
Cheng Boxiao's face was filled with anger as he looked at Ling Bing, "Ling Bing, don't you know that you and You Ning have a heart-to-heart Gu? If you get hurt, You Ning will also be affected. How can you be so self-deprecating?"
Ling Bing lowered her eyes and said nothing, but in her heart she felt extremely disgusted with Cheng Boxiao.
Ruan Youning said, "I heard that Hai Junshao was detained by the Jiang Clan. Boxiao, you came to Tianyu City this time for this matter, right?"
Cheng Boxiao's expression lightened slightly, "Saving Hai Junshao was just a side job."
He looked at Ruan Youning affectionately and forbearingly: "Youning, I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to come and see you."
Ruan Youning was very touched by his affection, but she did not respond. She said calmly, "Master Jiang brought back a girl named Ruan Qiao. This girl has ruined many of my affairs. Even Ling Bing's injury this time was related to that girl named Ruan Qiao."
Cheng Boxiao's expression suddenly changed: "Ruan Qiao? Is she the little lover that Chu Shaozun brought back?
Youning, don't worry, I will never let anyone who hurts you go."
Ruan Youning pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing.
Cheng Boxiao looked at Ruan Youning with heartache and said, "Youning, the Shang family is having a banquet in a couple of days. I'm going there. Maybe Ruan Qiao will be there too. I'll go meet her then!"
"Bo Xiao, Chu Shiyu is very protective of Ruan Qiao. Don't offend the Chu family for my sake. It will not benefit you."
Ruan Youning reminded softly.
Cheng Boxiao smiled and said, "Youning, are you concerned about me? I'm very happy, but don't worry, I know my limits."
