Hong Meir thought that Meng Ling's information was not ready yet, so she waved her hand and asked her to go down and prepare. At the same time, she walked to Wei Jie, took his pulse, and after checking it, she immediately ordered the people around her: "Go, call Amu over."
Soon, a middle-aged man named Amu walked in, and Hong Meir pointed at Wei Jie who was lying on the bed.
"I'm handing this person over to you. His internal energy is disordered. You need to heal his internal injuries first, but you need to keep him under control. Do you understand?"
Amu was a mid-level alchemist on the stone. He had come into contact with many people brought in like this on a daily basis. Therefore, he knew Hong Mei'er's purpose better than anyone else. He nodded immediately and said, "Let me take a look first."
Amu walked to the bedside, and when the servant's white hands touched Wei Jie's hot skin, he frowned: "He's actually having a fever?"
He checked his eyes and ears, then turned his head to look at Hong Meir and said calmly, "He's been poisoned!"
Hong Meier waved her hand nonchalantly, "This man is very strong, this little bit of poison is nothing to him, just treat him, as for the poison, just leave it in his body for now."
After hearing her say this, Amu stopped talking, lowered his head, closed his eyes and began to investigate with all his heart and soul.
After Meng Ling came out of the cave, her face was full of anxiety. She looked up at the sky from time to time, her heart full of worry about Ling Yuan.
"This damn girl is always causing trouble for me. Now, once I hand over her portrait, even if she wants to avoid me, she won't be able to do so!"
It can be seen that Hong Meir likes Wei Jie very much. Once she knows what is going on between Feng Yan and Wei Jie, how long will it take for her to know that Feng Yan is Ling Yuan?
What should I do? What should I do?
But she didn't have the courage to make a false report for Hong Meir. Extremely conflicted, Meng Ling could only helplessly make a gesture of wiping her neck towards the sky.
Afterwards, she strode towards her cave, but she was unaware that her expression and movements had been clearly seen by Bai Zha, and then conveyed to Ling Yuan.
"It's Meng Ling. What is she doing?"
Ling Yuan stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and suddenly looked at Hei Chun on his shoulder, "The woman in red that Bai Zha just mentioned should be the one who kidnapped Wei Jie before, right? The cave she and Meng Ling went to just now, could it be the place where Wei Jie is imprisoned?"
Unfortunately, when Hong Meir sent people to take Wei Jie away, Ling Yuan did not notice it, so she did not know where Wei Jie was imprisoned. However, after Meng Ling went to the cave, several other people went in one after another, and the woman in red did not come out again. This almost made Ling Yuan certain of something.
"It should be almost correct, but shouldn't you try to figure out Meng Ling's gestures?"
When Ling Yuan lowered his head and pondered, Bai Zha suddenly said to them: "The atmosphere on the island has changed significantly. Compared with the situation when we came here before, there are now several waves of powerful forces inexplicably, distributed in the four directions of the island. The defense level has been obviously improved. Have they discovered us?"
Ling Yuan's eyes sharpened and she also lowered her head. As expected, after Meng Ling left, the originally unpopular island suddenly had a large number of people, including some lustful beasts hovering above the island. If Bai Zha's position had not been hidden enough, it would have been discovered long ago.
With her and Hei Chun's eyesight, they could only make out the general outline of the island and some people, but not enough to see their faces and clothes clearly.
But Bai Zha is different. Even at a far distance, it can see clearly.
Therefore, when Bai Zha said this, he thought of Meng Ling’s gesture that he had just conveyed.
Ling Yuan sighed heavily, "Perhaps, we have been discovered early on. That woman looked back countless times along the way. Her strength is higher than mine, so it should not be surprising that she sensed my presence."
"But, if she already knew it, why did she bring me here?"
Hei Chun licked his paw contemptuously, "What else could it be? I'm afraid you've been targeted by someone. The reason you're keeping quiet now is because you haven't made any move. After all, in the Dragon Empire, there are only a handful of people who can contract a silver dragon."
"She's waiting and watching?"
Ling Yuan understood that since her strength was not high, Silver Dragon’s strength would naturally not be high either.
But, I can't help but feel that he is of noble birth.
At this moment, I am afraid that she, as the master, is not as valuable as her own pet. The other party is ignoring her like this, probably to verify it.
"So what should we do? Just wait like this?"
"You don't want to wait, but still want to rush down. What's going on down there? Do you need me to explain it to you again?"
Hei Chun turned his head involuntarily and glared at Ling Yuan in warning. Ling Yuan shrank his neck and said, "But, it's almost dark now. Will Wei Jie be in trouble?"
Now, Hei Chun and Bai Zha finally understood. It turned out that their master had never been worried about them from beginning to end, but was always worried about the kidnapped Wei Jie?
"You still say you don't like him. If you don't like him, why are you so worried?"
"I, I am just doing my duty as entrusted by others." Ling Yuan choked and widened his eyes involuntarily.
"Hehe," Hei Chun curled his lips and decided not to discuss this topic which no longer had any meaning.
"Master, please go into the space. I am afraid that my spiritual energy will not be enough to consume if I float like this."
Bai Zha's slightly weak voice made Ling Yuan's heart ache. The reason why they were so stable was all thanks to Bai Zha.
"Sorry, I forgot about you. I'm going to enter the space now. You guys are tired too, go and rest in the sea of consciousness!"
After she finished speaking, she once again took a deep look at the island, which seemed completely meaningless to her, and then entered the space.
With the disappearance of Ling Yuan, the auras of Bai Zha and Hei Chun also disappeared one after another.
At the same time, Hong Meier also received a report from her subordinates, "What did you say? That aura disappeared?"
"Yes, Palace Master. After repeated confirmation, it is indeed gone. Not only her, but even her spirit pet is gone as well."
Hong Mei'er was immediately furious, "Useless, I asked you to find someone, and you told me that she hid too high. Now that she has disappeared, you are just reporting. What's the point?"
"If you can't find her, keep looking. How could such a big person disappear out of thin air? Follow her traces. Just as geese leave their voices behind, so people will definitely leave traces behind. Find this person for me now, right now!"
The people below were so scared that they ran away, fearing that if they left a second later, they would be thrown into her experimental secret room by this vicious master and become her experimental subjects.
Meng Ling happened to appear at this time. Seeing Meng Ling, Hong Meir immediately looked towards her, "Are all the things ready? Bring them here!"
Meng Ling tremblingly handed over Feng Yan's portrait and some information about Feng Yan.
"This is all I know."
Hong Mei'er narrowed her eyes and glanced at Feng Yan's portrait. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. "She looks okay. She looks similar to the one who followed me. But, what is her relationship with Wei Jie?"
Meng Ling opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she glanced at her and saw that she had already opened the information underneath, so she shut up immediately.
"Yu Hen and this Wei Jie actually took the initiative to run to Fengchi Villa? What's going on? Also, why is this Gongzi Yan here too?"
After the Never-Sleeping City was destroyed, she lost track of Ling Yuan and Gong Zi Yan, but she didn't expect that Gong Zi Yan would appear in Fengchi Villa? What about Ling Yuan?
"Where did Ling Yuan go?" Sure enough, the fact was just as Meng Ling expected. Hong Meir's sensitive nerves immediately made her notice the disappearance of Ling Yuan.
Meng Ling shook her head. "To reply to the Palace Master, I did not see Ling Yuan during my stay at Fengchi Villa. Even Young Master Yan was mysterious. On the contrary, this Yu Hen has an unusual relationship with Young Master Yan."
"As for Wei Jie, I didn't see him at first, so I don't know why he appeared near Fengchi Villa."
"Idiot, do I need to say this? Didn't the people from the previous unit report back that the first batch of beasts we exiled to the Four Continents were all killed by Wei Jie and Yu Hen? Now that Yu Hen has appeared in Fengchi Villa, this Wei Jie must also be in Fengchi. But, how could he have such serious internal injuries for no reason?"
Meng Ling's breath was choked, and she was unable to utter a word because of Hong Meir's words. She was worthy of being the Palace Master who controlled all the movements in the Poison Palace. She could remember such a subtle detail so clearly. It seemed that Ling Yuan was in great danger this time!
"The relationship between Gongzi Yan and Ling Yuan was established when Senior Brother massacred the Never-Sleeping City last time. This is not difficult to understand. However, I am curious why you did not give a detailed account of Ling Yuan's resurrection?"
Meng Ling's heart trembled, and she immediately raised her head: "In reply to the Palace Master, I really don't know anything about this. I only know that four years ago in Siyou Country, Ling Yuan was indeed infected with corpse poison and became a living dead. But for some reason, her body did not rot, so she was taken away by Wei Jie for another year. A year later, her body rotted, and when she was about to be buried, her body was taken away by someone. Then, four years passed."
"Then how did you know Ling Yuan was still alive? How did you determine that she returned to the Never-Sleeping City? Or was she with Gongzi Yan?"
Meng Ling's brows twisted into a knot in an instant, and she suddenly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.
"Well, I'm not so sure about this. It's just a guess. When we created such a zombie wave, Wei Jie and Yu Hen also asked the empire for help at the same time. However, the girl sent by the empire to Siyou Country got entangled with Wei Jie inexplicably. Many people saw this at the time."
"So, based on this, you concluded that the person was Ling Yuan?"
Meng Ling was only thinking about taking credit at the beginning, and she never thought that Hong Meir would ask her about the process in such detail today. Then, thinking about the agreement between herself and Ling Yuan, she could only sigh heavily. She was afraid that Ling Yuan would really be exposed today.
She took a deep breath and continued to blur the concept, "I'm not completely sure, because her appearance is so different from what it was back then. The reason I doubt it is because of Wei Jie's attitude. Over the years, Wei Jie has never made any unnecessary expressions to any woman, but that day, he was so persistent that it shocked many people at the time, so I became suspicious."
"And then, what did you discover?"
Meng Ling was surprised and quickly glanced at Hong Mei'er, then continued, "My subordinates found that she encountered a group of Mei people being besieged by zombies. During the argument with them, we heard that she took the initiative to admit that she was Ling Yuan."
"Because the other party is Li Hongtao, who is also Ling Yuan's biological father, it is not difficult to suspect that she is Ling Yuan, and she is alive. After three years, she came back alive."
Hong Meier raised her eyebrows. "Is there such a thing? No wonder you are so sure. Then what happened? Where did she go?"
Meng Ling pursed her lips and continued, "Our people followed them secretly, and finally, they followed them to the City That Never Sleeps..."
During this period, she deliberately omitted Ling Yuan's appearance after the change, as well as the appearance of the girl who looked exactly like her and appeared in Yan State.
Because she herself hadn't figured this out yet, she chose to ignore it in order to avoid causing herself unnecessary trouble.
In fact, it is very clear at this point. This is why Hong Meir was able to send people directly to the City That Never Sleeps to hunt down Ling Yuan. I think Meng Ling also concluded that Ling Yuan was in the City That Never Sleeps based on this.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Hong Meir stopped asking questions and instead frowned, thinking about something thoughtfully.
Meng Ling felt that the air was particularly depressing. She remained stiff for an unknown amount of time before she heard Hong Meir's meaningful voice.
