Only then did Madam Deng remember that she had fallen into the water while holding Zhan Wushuang, and also, "Aunt Wu!"
Turning her head, she saw that Aunt Wu was still soaking in the water with her eyes closed, so Deng hurriedly went forward to pull her out.
Unfortunately, as a mere mortal, she had no strength whatsoever and tried to pull her off several times without success.
"Is she with you?"
Seeing this, Ji Fanya quickly stepped forward to help, and then used a skin-healing ointment to treat the external injuries before administering the Seven-Exhaustion Pill to treat the internal injuries.
"Yes, she is a spy from the Wuya Dynasty who was planted in the Bujiang Dynasty, so she is considered one of our own."
Deng nodded, then nervously stood up and looked around, saying, "Didn't you see a little girl, about nine years old? That's the third princess of the Wuya Dynasty."
“Little girl…”
For some reason, upon hearing this, Di Moyu suddenly recalled the strange phenomenon from earlier.
The three of them were by the river when Jun Feijue passed by, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen.
All of this is probably not a coincidence.
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, Aunt Wu coughed up some water and woke up.
"What am I doing..."
Aunt Wu seemed startled for a moment, then immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Princess...where is the princess?"
"Aunt Wu, you're awake?"
Upon seeing this, Madam Deng quickly stepped forward, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "I haven't seen the princess since I woke up. Could she have been swept downstream by the water?"
Although they had only spent half a year together, Madam Deng truly liked this stubborn yet resolute princess and treated her almost like a daughter.
"Princess, no, I have to go find..."
Aunt Wu tried to get up, but her injuries caused her to fall down again.
Just now, in order to protect Deng Shi and Zhan Wushuang, she used all her protective abilities on the two of them, while she herself almost had to take the brunt of the damage.
Although it was only a slight lightning strike, the power of heavenly lightning is terrifying. The injury to the Xuan Meridian will probably take two or three days to recover.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be up ahead."
At this moment, Di Moyu looked up at the main palace and said calmly, "Leave, or stay."
Who are you?
Looking at Di Moyu and Ji Fanya, Aunt Wu was full of doubts. How could two teenagers have survived in the secret mansion until now?
"Who we are doesn't matter, are you coming or not?"
Ji Fanya still had some feelings for Deng Shi, but he was very annoyed with Aunt Wu. "Anyway, when we first came here, we didn't encounter anyone else except the two of you."
"I believe in them."
At this moment, Madam Deng also spoke up, "Aunt Wu, why don't we follow them upstairs and look for them first? If we really can't find them, we can come back and look again?"
"This is the only way."
Aunt Wu wanted to go find it herself, but it was clearly impossible given her current condition.
Finally, Aunt Wu and Madam Deng were helped onto Xiao Bo's back under Xiao Bo's disdainful gaze.
As they walked along, through Ji Fanya's explanation, Deng learned that Ji Wuming was already dead.
In his grief, he was somewhat relieved to hear that the women had been found and that their cultivation was on the verge of recovery.
"By the way, Xiaoya, how old are you?"
Looking at Ji Fanya, who was running alongside her and whose speed was in no way inferior, Deng's heart softened, and she asked gently, "What is your cultivation level?"
Deng felt deep pity for Ji Wuming's only child, lamenting that the poor child had to bear so much at such a young age.
Without a father, living alone must be very difficult, right?
