When she woke up, it was the morning of the fourth day. The golden light of the morning sun shone through the gaps in the window lattice and fell on her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

She felt something furry moving against her arm.

She subconsciously picked up the little thing and opened her eyes at the same time.

The little tiger who was lifted high up tilted his head and said, "Cheng Xin, are you awake?"

"Um?"

The saint was stunned for a moment, then she gently put Xiaohu down and sat up calmly.

Da Hu and Er Hu were also there.

Erhu lay on the edge of the bed, kicking and glaring.

Da Hu stood straight, with the demeanor of an elder brother.

The saint looked at them in astonishment.

Erhu asked, "Cheng Xin, where have you been? Why did you take so long to come back?"

Little Tiger asked in a chirping voice, "Yes, Cheng Xin, where have you been? We can't find you!"

Da Hu said nothing, his expression serious yet with a hint of inquiry.

"I."

The saint lowered her eyes.

Xing'er came in with a bowl of porridge: "Okay, Cheng Xin just woke up, she must be very hungry, let Cheng Xin eat something first, okay?"

"Um!"

The three little ones nodded and went out to play.

Xing'er put the porridge on the table, came to the bedside and asked the Saint: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The saint shook her head.

Xing'er stretched out her hand and tried to touch the Saint's forehead like the young lady usually did, but the Saint dodged her hand.

Xing Er: "Oh, you won't let me touch you."

The saint was about to get out of bed. When she lifted the quilt, she found a lot of things inside, including crispy candies, small stones, and small flower drums.

Xing Er saw that she was confused and explained to her, "The crispy candy was given by Da Hu, the small stone was given by Er Hu, and the small flower drum was given by Xiao Hu. He said he gave it to you so that you can wake up soon."

The saint grabbed the sticky blanket and said, "Sugar, it's stuck."

Xing Er cleared her throat and said, "Well, it was originally wrapped in rice paper, and Xiao Hu secretly licked a few times."

After the saint finished washing, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and Xing'er combed her hair.

Seeing that her eyes were always searching for something, Xing Er understood and said, "Miss has gone to buy herbs and will be back soon."

Saint: “Yeah.” -Su Xiaoxiao came back half an hour later.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw... the lively saint.

Su Xiaoxiao's expression was indescribable: "What is she...doing?"

"Miss!" Xing'er took Su Xiaoxiao's medicine basket and looked at the Saint who was climbing the tree. She said, "Cheng Xin wanted to go up to the roof, but it seemed that she couldn't fly up, so... it's like this."

It is not surprising that without internal strength, the lightness skill will naturally not be able to be used.

What was strange was the way she climbed the tree.

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated and said, "Other people climb trees using their hands and feet, one after another, but how can she...jump?"

She hugged her hands and jumped up, Duang-Duang! Is she a rabbit? Xing Er said embarrassedly, "Well, Xiao Hu taught me that."

This is how the tiger cub climbs trees.

The saint danced... uh no, crawled very seriously and solemnly.

Finally, she climbed to the top of the tree and walked up to the roof along the treetop.

She sat down in the place where she had sat countless times before.

This is something she likes to do, and Su Xiaoxiao usually doesn't interfere with her.

Soon, it was time to take the medicine.

Su Xiaoxiao called her down: "Cheng Xin, take your medicine."

The saint stood up expressionlessly and jumped as calmly as usual.

Duang!

She fell down with a crash.

He fell face down with a bang!

I forgot to remind you that you have no more inner strength...

It seems I have to find an opportunity to take back your inner strength. - In the evening, Lu Aotian came to Baihua Palace.

"Something happened in Xiaoyao Sect!"

The palace master asked, "What happened?"

Lu Aotian's treatment has increased dramatically. In the past, he came to see Wei Ting, but now he can see the Palace Master directly.

Lu Aotian said: "Oh, the Sutra Library in the City Lord's Mansion was robbed. The injured guard said that the thief was a woman, and her figure and skills were very similar to the leader of Xiaoyao Sect. Then, Gui Ji was captured by the people in the City Lord's Mansion!"

Lu Aotian knew how to judge the situation. He saw at the martial arts competition that Gui Ji had a close relationship with Palace Master Yun, so when something happened to the other party, he immediately came to report the news.

The Palace Master nodded: "I understand, thank you, Patriarch Lu."

Lu Aotian bowed and said, "Palace Master Yun, you are too polite!"

The Palace Master said, "Recently, a new batch of sheep have arrived at the farm. If Patriarch Lu doesn't mind, please take some back with you."

Lu Aotian: "How can I feel so embarrassed...where is the sheep?" -In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiahou Qing sat in the main seat, and the four elders sat on both sides.

Xiahou Zheng and Xie Jinnian were standing in the lobby.

Several people stared at the Ghost Princess in the center of the hall and the City Lord's Mansion guards who were confronting her.

"Are you sure it's her?" Xiahou Zheng asked.

The guard said sternly, "The body shape is very similar, the height is also similar! The face... is also this face!"

Gui Ji sneered: "Don't you know there is something called the art of disguise?"

Elder Liu said, "Disguise may be easy, but Xiaoyao Palm is the unique palm technique of your Xiaoyao Sect. Judging from his injuries, he has at least cultivated to the sixth level. In your Xiaoyao Sect, only you, Gui Ji, have cultivated to this level."

Gui Ji snorted coldly: "It's not me anyway!"

Xiahou Zheng said: "My second brother went to Xiaoyao Sect to check and found out that you did not return to the sect last night. Where did you go?"

Guiji's lips moved.

Xiahou Zheng said calmly, "Can't tell, or don't dare to tell? If no one testifies for you, you won't be able to escape the charge. Trespassing into the Sutra Library is a capital crime. If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, your crime will be aggravated, and it will implicate your entire sect."

Gui Ji's eyes turned cold.

"She was in my Baihua Palace last night!"

The Palace Master's domineering voice appeared outside the meeting hall.

“Get out of the way!”

Ling Yun scolded.

The two guards glanced at the city lord in the council hall, and seeing that the city lord did not stop them, the two of them obediently stepped aside.

The Palace Master and Ling Yun walked in.

Gui Ji looked at the Palace Master.

The Palace Master said to her, "What is there to be afraid of? Isn't it just asking you to teach my son martial arts?"

Xiahou Zheng asked with a half-smile, "Teach for the whole night?"

The Palace Master said in a cold voice, "Didn't the eldest son practice martial arts all night long? No wonder he couldn't defeat the Assassin's Alliance. I heard that the Assassin's Alliance disciples could stay up all night for ten days in a row to improve their skills."

Xiahou Zheng was choked.

Xiahou Qing asked: "Why do you want to learn martial arts from Xiaoyao Sect?"

The Palace Master said confidently, "Lin'er was injured in the womb and is born weak. The martial arts of the Baihua Palace are not suitable for him, otherwise he would not have learned any internal strength in all these years. Gui Ji said she had a way, so I asked her to come and try."

When mentioning the accident that happened in Ling Yun's womb, Xiahou Qing lost his confidence.

It was he who injured Yun Xi back then, and it was he who caused his son to become weak.

Ling Yun looked at Xia Houqing and said, "Now that we have figured out what's going on, can my master leave now?"

Elder Liu said to the city lord: "This is against the rules. Palace Master Yun is obviously covering up for someone. We must thoroughly investigate the Baihua Palace—"

Ling Yun spoke word by word: "Father."

Xiahou Qing's heart was shocked! He looked at Ling Yun in disbelief: "Lin'er..."

The Palace Master said to Gui Ji, "Let's go."
