"Hey, I see you have a very rosy complexion, so your heart must be very healthy, otherwise..."
Liang Meng lowered his voice, deliberately sounding sinister. His head was lowered, but his eyes were rolled upward, revealing only the whites of his pupils, which looked terrifying. He bent his fingers slightly into claws, and as he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Zhuomu.
Under the scorching sun, Zhuo Mu was frightened by Liang Meng and trembled all over. He felt the black hair on his neck stand up. He unconsciously stepped back as Liang Meng approached.
Oh~~
ah!!!!
The hand bent into an iron hook suddenly stretched out towards Zhuomu. Zhuomu was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
Liang Meng was stunned for two seconds, then looked at Zhuo Mu fleeing quickly under the scorching sun, and laughed so hard that it shook the heavens and earth and made the gods and ghosts weep.
This kid, is his courage as small as a needle tip? He is so easily frightened.
Liang Meng couldn't laugh anymore after a while.
The reason why she appeared here was because she used a talisman to find the thief who came here.
I thought I could track it down all the way, but I didn't expect the clues to be cut off here.
Unwilling to give up, Liang Meng once again drew a talisman with the blood from his fingertips, and then stained it with the blood of the thief. Unfortunately, just like the previous times, the talisman immediately fell to the ground, no longer providing the guidance it had at the beginning.
He stamped his feet on the ground impatiently, dirt staining the uppers of his shoes. Liang Meng was furious and anxious. Yue'er was in danger, and he didn't know what had gone wrong with his talisman.
Liang Meng had no idea that the talisman had lost its guidance because the man had changed his appearance and hidden his wounds when he arrived here.
The search was originally based on bloodstains, but now that the source is gone, how can we find it?
With an angry curse, Liang Meng no longer cared about the talisman, put on her hat, and walked towards the path she had drawn while sitting on the ground drawing lots.
Before she took a few steps, she heard shouting.
Turning around, it was Ziruo.
"Zi Ruo? Why are you here?"
"Is there any news about Yue'er?"
Sweat beads appeared on Ziruo's forehead, and her expression was solemn. Liang Meng pouted and shook her head in frustration.
"For some reason, the talisman stopped moving here."
Ziruo nodded and raised her hand to pat Liang Meng's shoulder soothingly.
"Let's go back first. Mother, father, and Elder Bai are back."
Liang Meng shook his head. Going back would only lead to further anxiety, and he'd have to face Zhuo Lin's mocking expression. Better to keep searching; maybe there would be some light at the end of the tunnel.
"Let's go back first."
Regardless of Liang Meng's stubbornness, Ziruo continued to persuade her.
"Elder Bai's spiritual power is profound, so perhaps he can find a way. Besides, mother wants to see you."
"who?"
Liang Meng suddenly raised his drooping head, as if he didn't hear Ziruo's words clearly. He tilted his head and asked with a frown.
"Mother."
"City Lord?"
Ziruo nodded.
"What does the City Lord want from me?"
"I don't know either. I asked my mother, but she didn't tell me much. She just told me to take you to see her."
Seeing Liang Meng's frown, as if she couldn't figure it out, Zi Ru simply grabbed her arm and walked away.
"Oh, if you can't figure it out, forget it. You'll know when you get there."
"Besides, is Mother really going to eat you?"
Along the way, Liang Meng's mind was in a tangle, and she couldn't figure out what the city lord wanted to talk to her about.
After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that it is Yue'er's thing.
After all, when Yue'er got into trouble, he was the one who knew the situation best.
But... I really... know very little.
Before stepping into the tomb, Liang Meng even thought that if the city lord was like Zhuolin, he would immediately determine that she was the thief who hurt Yue'er and wanted to kill her to provoke the wrath of the Pingya City lord.
Should I fight back or surrender?
If he fought back, this was someone else's territory. Even if he had some spiritual power, he couldn't guarantee that he could escape.
But what if we surrender?
Damn, that's too fucking cowardly. It clearly wasn't me, but this only confirms my suspicion of being the murderer.
"Liang Meng, Liang Meng, Liang Meng..."
"Huh? Um, what?"
In front of him, Ziruo looked at him with a half-smile. Liang Meng blinked doubtfully, as if he had just come back to his senses from a dream.
"Mother is calling you."
"Ah? Ah, City Lord, I'm sorry, Liang Meng is being rude."
Turning sideways, Liang Meng only caught a glimpse of a corner of the golden armor, and couldn't even see the city lord's expression to see whether he was angry or happy, so he quickly bowed and apologized.
"Miss, there's no need to be so reserved. Please take a seat."
Listening carefully, there was a hint of respect in the polite and gentle tone.
Liang Meng lowered his head and walked to the seat below Ziruo and sat down. He pinched his arm to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
Respect? Do you think you, as the head of the hall, can control everything?
Liang Meng kept her head down nervously, her whole body tense, waiting for the city lord to question her.
But after a long time, there was no movement at all.
Liang Meng didn't want to look obviously guilty, but the city lord's aura was too strong. It was difficult for him to even raise his head, let alone speak.
"Mother?"
Liang Meng lowered his head and couldn't see, but Ziruo could see it very clearly.
Her mother, the Lord of Tomb City, had protected it for hundreds of years. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the strongest and most fearless warrior to emerge from the bloody storm.
Not to mention a look of sadness, even when he was fighting in the most brutal battlefield and was covered with scars, he never showed the slightest sign of weakness.
But now, he showed such sadness, no, it should be said that he looked heartbroken in front of someone he had only met once.
Tears flickered faintly in those eyes that had always been calm and fearless.
Ziruo opened her lips slightly, widened her eyes, and was extremely shocked.
His eyes moved back and forth between his mother and Liang Meng in disbelief.
Who is this Liang Meng?
It could actually make my mother lose control and show such an incredible expression.
"Ruo'er, please go out first. I have something to say to this girl."
The Lord of Tomb City, Mu Ying, lowered his head and took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions. When he spoke again, he had returned to normal, as if it was just Zi Ruo's illusion.
"Mother?"
"go out!"
In response to Ziruo's question, Mu Ying spoke sternly. Ziruo's expression froze, and she stood up, bowed, said "yes," and turned to leave.
Her emotions were so turbulent that she naturally didn't notice Liang Mengwei raise her head and wink at her for help.
As soon as Ziruo left, only Mu Ying and Liang Meng were left in the room.
Once again, it fell into the same silence as before.
Liang Meng couldn't stand it anymore. Damn it, if you want to kill me or cut me up, just say it clearly, don't use psychological warfare.
"May the City Lord know for sure. Although I was present when Yue'er was in trouble, I didn't see the face of the thief who hurt Yue'er."
Maybe it was because he lowered his head or because he was really depressed, but Liang Meng's face turned red. He looked at Mu Ying and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Mu Ying was stunned and didn't react to what Liang Meng said for a moment.
"If the City Lord doesn't believe..."
Liang Meng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say next, when Mu Ying's words "I believe" came to him in a resounding voice.
