"When you were unknown, everyone wanted to step on you. When you became successful, all kinds of flattery and troubles came one after another. It seems that Fengchi Villa can't stay out of it this time!"

"Good sister, isn't this what we expected? It's good now. The imperial family, can we just use them as a stepping stone to enter the Dragon Empire?"

Being able to enter the Dragon Empire to practice is the dream of many practitioners, naturally including Su Yu and the other four.

Ling Yuan cast a calm look at her brothers and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you realize this wish. But sister, have you decided whether to face those people with your identity?"

They still don't know the identities of the two people, but they know that keeping this face will definitely be a disaster.

Therefore, from the very beginning, they did not decide to face the people of the Dragon Empire with such a face.

When she was in the forbidden area, she was wearing a mask all the time. To be honest, the reason she showed her true face in front of Wei Jie was just to show off.

Back then, Ling Yuan's ugly image was deeply rooted in people's minds. Now that she has finally become normal and beautiful, why don't you bring her out to show off a bit?

Everything was beautiful and satisfied her vanity greatly, but she never expected that Wei Jie would recognize her at the first sight. Is this man born in the Year of the Dog?

If she hadn't been fooled by her brother's words that whatever needs to be solved must be solved, would she be entangled with this guy now?

Whenever she thought of this, she would grit her teeth in hatred and beat her chest and stamp her feet. If she had known this would happen, she should not have appeared in Siyou Country, and she should not have accepted this mission!

Gongzi Yan straightened his clothes and looked up at Ling Yuan, "Isn't this outfit of mine good?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan smiled softly, "That's good, but are you sure that no one can recognize you? In a place as special as the City That Never Sleeps, is it true that no one has noticed you?"

Ling Yuan's meaning was obvious. What she was worried about was that the people who had been keeping an eye on them might have already noticed Gongzi Yan. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that they sent people to surround Ling Yuan after she left the City That Never Sleeps?

However, Gongzi Yan obviously didn't take it seriously. "It doesn't matter. If they really set their sights on me, they will definitely not miss my foster father who is the lord of the Never-Sleeping City. However, my foster father obviously didn't take it seriously. In this case, what are we worried about?"

"Also, at this point, is it useful to be afraid of this or that?"

The fact that the City That Never Sleeps was destroyed in an instant was enough to prove how terrifying their opponents were. If the other party clearly wanted to kill them, hiding would obviously be impossible. So if that was the case, why bother with all that effort?

Instead of hiding, it is better to be prepared to die from the beginning.

In particular, she didn't think they should be so cautious.

Although there was nothing wrong with what their adoptive father and brothers said, it was not suitable for them.

Because they were not born to live a low-key life, Ling Yuan was like this, and so was she.

After figuring this out, Ling Yuan grinned and couldn't help but step forward and hugged Gongzi Yan tightly.

"Sure enough, my sister understands my feelings the best. Yes, I think the same thing. My brother and stepfather are too cautious. Although this is for our safety, if we really shrink back like that, will we still be ourselves?"

Gongzi Yan's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. "In that case, should we meet these guests from the empire properly next?"

Ling Yuan flicked her sleeves and her voice suddenly turned cold: "Of course, then... could you please bring this so-called Miss Meng in to me first?"

Isn't she curious about her? Then she will let her see enough!

After saying this, Ling Yuan turned and left. Gongzi Yan glanced at Su Yu and the others and said, "Let's go. Let's try to bring this Miss Meng here before Yuan'er changes her appearance!"

The strength of Huamao and his men is certainly not as good as Gongzi Yan's, and after these days of breathing exercises, Gongzi Yan's strength has gradually recovered.

Although they have never met this so-called Miss Meng, their intuition tells them that among the people in this empire, those with strength as extraordinary as Young Master Yan have probably not been born yet?

With a powerful figure like Gongzi Yan as their backing, and a white-level master like Yu Hen following them closely, what do the five of them have to fear? No matter if you are a monster or a demon, just come at me!

Meng Ling's whereabouts had long been under the control of Gongzi Yan. Although the City That Never Sleeps was destroyed, her network hidden in the dark had not been broken. In particular, this network was connected to the Hua family in the empire, so their strength naturally could not be underestimated.

It didn't take much effort for them to find Meng Ling who was hiding near Fengchi Villa.

Due to the spread of the zombie virus, the entire continent has almost become a ghost town. Naturally, there are many empty houses. Meng Ling and her people hid in a nearby village.

Gongzi Yan did not bring too many people with him. Including her, Yu Hen, and Su Yu, there were only seven people in total.

When Gongzi Yan led them to surround Meng Ling, the ordinary woman dressed as a village woman was still hiding in the corner with a look of fear on her face, shaking like a sieve. Her appearance at that time almost deceived the grown men.

"Meng Ling, stop pretending. Do you think we are standing here just to watch your performance?"

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean. What are you going to do in broad daylight?"

Gongzi Yan seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and immediately kicked Yu Hen who was standing in front of him, "Go, tie this woman up for me!"

As soon as Yu Hen saw the woman's appearance, he was disgusted. But before he could open his mouth, Gongzi Yan glared at him fiercely, as if to say, "If you dare to reveal my identity, I will castrate you immediately."

Yu Hen was so scared that he closed his mouth and pushed Su Yu next to him, "What about you? Didn't you hear me? Tie him up!"

Su Yu: .... So, Jade Emperor, are you a dog who takes advantage of others' power?

Well, it seems a bit too much for him to criticize the king of a country like this. This is not a "dog" at all, it is clearly a dragon!

The interaction between Gongzi Yan and the others naturally caught Meng Ling's eyes. The erratic looks in their eyes immediately made someone alert. Fortunately, these people were not stupid enough. After attacking from both sides, Meng Ling was restrained by Huamao in just three hundred moves.

Without waiting for Meng Ling to cry out that she was innocent, Gongzi Yan casually threw a pill into her mouth. It melted in her mouth, and no matter how hard she tried to spit it out, she couldn't. Her originally pretentious face suddenly changed: "What did you give me to eat?"

Gong Ziyan's cold eyes fell on her. "I thought your first words should be, 'Who are you?' and 'Why did you kidnap me?' Now it seems that you know who we are and why we kidnapped you, right?"

Meng Ling's pupils suddenly tightened and her expression changed suddenly, "I ask you, what did you give me to eat?" She chose to ignore other questions.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's poison or medicine!" Gongzi Yan sneered, and then glanced at Huamao: "Let her go, she won't run away, and she will have to come back even if she runs away. This poison cannot be cured by others. Since you are here, you should know who you are facing, right?"

Meng Ling's heart skipped a beat. She obviously didn't realize that she was exposed so quickly. Of the people in front of her, she could only recognize Su Yu and the others. The thin man and the handsome man dressed in gold were obviously no longer in her memory.

But looking at their posture, it was obvious that they were involved with Fengchi Villa. Meng Ling frowned unconsciously: "Who are you?"

Gongzi Yan glanced at her nonchalantly, "Who am I? You will know in a moment. So, are you leaving or not?"

Meng Ling calculated a little, her eyes turned fierce, and she looked at her coldly: "It's already like this, is resistance still useful?"

"That's right, he who knows how to adapt to changing circumstances is a hero. Let's go!" After Gongzi Yan led his men away, he casually gestured to the people in the dark.

Poor Meng Ling thought her people had not been exposed, but she didn't know that after they left, Gongzi Yan's people strangled them all, leaving no one alive. By the time she realized it, it was too late.

Meng Ling followed them all the way into Fengchi Villa. During the walk, many people greeted them, but she did not greet the two people who she was most curious about. This made her even more curious about the identities of these two people.

She was not unfamiliar with Fengchi Villa. She had exchanged many letters with Fengchi in the past, so naturally she had some understanding of this organization. Even before she came, she had done her homework on Fengchi. Therefore, Su Yu and the other four had already been deeply imprinted in her mind.

However, there are differences between the results of the investigation and the reality. For example, the person in front of her is not mentioned in her information. What is more frightening is that this person's skills are obviously extraordinary.

Just now, she didn't lift a finger from beginning to end, and she was able to play these five people around just by directing them. She didn't expect that although this person looked weak, his strength was not weak at all.

She shouldn't ignore such a person. Who is he?

Just as Meng Ling was anxiously thinking about who she was facing, a pretty and graceful girl in yellow came towards her. The moment she saw her, Meng Ling's heart suddenly sank.

Especially when the girl looked at her with a bright and dazzling smile on her face, Meng Ling was subconsciously shocked.

Although the face that came into her sight was unfamiliar, it gave her a very familiar feeling. Looking at the reactions of Su Yu and the others, she almost guessed the true identity of the girl opposite her at that moment.

"You are...Feng Yan?"

Meng Ling's affirmation made Ling Yuan's phoenix eyes slightly raised, and his eyes turned cold. He looked at her with a fake smile: "Miss Meng, long time no see!"

Meng Ling was startled and looked up at her: "It's you, Miss Feng? We... haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Ling Yuan raised the corner of her lips slightly, turned slightly, and made a "please" gesture towards her.

"Since we are old friends, there is no need to be polite. Miss Meng has worked hard on the way. As the host, it is natural for me to welcome you. Come on, prepare the best wine and food. Today, I will do my best to be a good host!"

Meng Ling took a deep breath and suddenly felt that she had nowhere to hide in front of this "Miss Feng". Although her gaze seemed indifferent, it always made her breathless and her pressure doubled.

It’s strange, why didn’t she realize that Feng Yan was so difficult to deal with before?

Forced to smile, Meng Ling nodded politely, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Miss Feng!"

"Hey? Miss Meng took such good care of me back then. Now that I have the opportunity to host a banquet for you here, I naturally have to express my gratitude to you."

"Um..., that's not necessary. The transactions between us have always been settled in cash."

Meng Ling saw Feng Yan's politeness, but she felt that the other party was so strong that she could not resist.

Feng Yan naturally wouldn't pay attention to these. After pulling her to sit down, the seven people, including Gongzi Yan, retreated without saying anything. It was not appropriate to expose Gongzi Yan too much now, and it was enough to leave such an occasion to her.

As expected, with the death of Gongzi Yan, the master whom she could not understand, Meng Ling felt relieved at once, because she could see that Feng Yan's strength was really not that good, and she had only reached the red level.

Although for the cultivators of the Four Continents, being able to reach the Red Rank is already an extraordinary ability, especially for a young girl like Feng Yan, but Meng Ling is not in the mood to care about her strength now, because at this moment, what she cares about is Feng Yan's... medical skills besides spiritual power.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Miss Feng seems to be doing well?"

"Thanks to Miss Meng's care, you have been doing well these years, right? I just don't know how Miss Meng could suddenly appear near my Fengchi Villa after not seeing her for so many years? Since she came, why didn't she tell my sister? It would be better for my sister to come and greet her in person!"

When Meng Ling heard this, she couldn't help but force a smile, "How can I be so embarrassed?"

"Miss Meng, you don't have to be polite to me. In fact, I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, how could I know so much about the inside story of the Dragon Empire?"

"It's just that my sister and I broke up so quickly, which made me sad for a while. I wonder what happened to my sister back then?"

then……?

When talking about the past, Meng Ling's face became uncontrollably gloomy. Looking at her expression, Feng Yan guessed that something unpleasant must have happened.

In particular, she seemed to remember that the reason why this Miss Meng was willing to make a deal with her was because her family and the Wei family, that is, Wei Yuchen, had an irreconcilable hatred.

"Has Miss Meng's great vengeance been avenged?"

Feng Yan's sudden words made Meng Ling look at her suddenly with an unfriendly look: "What do you mean by that?"

"Miss Meng, have you forgotten? You once told me about your enemy. Unfortunately, it was none other than Wei Yuchen, the former emperor of Siyou. Wei Yuchen has disappeared for many years and must have turned into a pile of bones. If you are not avenging your great vengeance, what else can you do?"

Meng Ling frowned, obviously having forgotten why she had revealed her life story to her back then?

But soon, she was relieved. What difference would it make if she knew? Anyway, the revenge had been taken, and she had done it herself, so there was no need to be afraid of anything.

"Yes, I did take revenge. Coincidentally, I killed this bastard emperor myself."

Meng Ling's words made Ling Yuan look up in surprise, "You mean, you killed Wei Yuchen with your own hands?"

"The murder of Wei Yuchen and Qiu Zhen was all my work. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ling Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and her mind involuntarily recalled the sensational "Du Zi's Life-demanding" incident of the past. After all, apart from this incident, she really couldn't understand why this girl not only hated Wei Yuchen, but even was full of disdain and hatred for Qiu Zhen.

"You, you are not the enemy of Wei Yuchen because of the 'Du Zi Ming Xuan' back then, right?"

Ling Yuan's words made Meng Ling look towards her suddenly, and then she curled her lips and looked at her with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so smart, but you may have made a mistake. It's not because of the 'Du Zi Demanding Life' back then. The Du Zi Demanding Life was the Du family's revenge on the royal family."

"But I became enemies with the Wei family because of the Du family. Do you understand?"

Under Meng Ling's sudden cold gaze, Ling Yuan suddenly understood. Oh my god, this woman obviously counted the Du family as her enemies!

"But it's a pity that all the people in the Du family died. Otherwise, the hatred would not have been transferred to Wei Yuchen. Haha, if it weren't for the Du family, how could so many innocent people have been implicated?"

"It's all because of the Du family, it's all because of Du Yunge. If she hadn't been so bad at judging people, if she hadn't been played around by Wei Yuchen like a fool, how could she have caused so many innocent deaths?"

"What do you mean a virtuous queen? Bullshit! This woman is a disaster. She deserved to die so miserably. She deserved to leave nothing behind. What's hateful is that she died, but she wanted so many people to be buried with her. It's so hateful and infuriating!"

She was really angry and furious. Her face was distorted and the veins on her forehead were throbbing. Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides. She had been enduring to the extreme. Seeing her like this, Ling Yuan suddenly felt a little bit of pity.

"Is your family also because of...?"

Thinking back to the past, Meng Ling seemed to have become numb. She looked at Ling Yuan expressionlessly and laughed sarcastically.

"Yes, my father was just a small lieutenant general in the military camp, and my sister was just a concubine of the Du family. But, even so, they could not escape the tragic fate of having their entire clan exterminated."

"Then how did you escape back then?"

"Me back then? Haha, you would never guess. How could I have escaped? If I hadn't been protected by my mother, I would have fallen off the corpse carriage half dead and rolled into the bushes. Later, I met my adoptive father, who saved me and brought me to the Dragon Empire. Otherwise, how do you think I could have survived?"

After hearing about Meng Ling's experience, Ling Yuan's face was full of disbelief. She had imagined many possibilities, but she never expected that Meng Ling survived by such luck.

Calculating Meng Ling’s age back then…

"Then you only had..."

Meng Ling glanced at her coldly and said, "Six years old."

She was only six years old, not much older than Du Yin was back then. Eighteen years have passed since this incident happened. If you do the math, Meng Ling is now 24 years old.

It was hard to describe what emotion she was feeling. Ling Yuan just felt that her heart was blocked. Although she had no friendship with this woman, because she was only three years old when she traveled through time, she was helpless at that time, so she could better understand her helplessness and pain at that time.

Watching your loved ones piled up like garbage on a corpse truck must be a heartbreaking feeling, right?

But then again, what did she say before, revenge? Does that mean that Wei Yuchen was poisoned because of her?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gasp, "So, the reason Wei Yuchen and Qiu Zhen were poisoned wasn't because of Long Kun, but because of you?"
