"Sister Xin, my second brother said you betrayed us. They also said you ordered bad guys to come to Changbai Mountain. Sister Xin, is this true? I don't believe you would do such a cruel thing."
Before I could even process this sudden turn of events, the little girl clinging to my waist spoke up, her voice trembling with tears.
I looked down at the little girl's delicate, fair face, which had turned red and was filled with tears as she looked at me. My heart softened, and I spoke softly, "Lingling, your second brother and I have separated, but what do you mean by bad people coming to Changbai Mountain?"
Liu Lingling is Liu Lieyu's younger sister. Unlike Liu Lieyu's older sister Liu Yun, Liu Lingling has a deep bond with the female lead. She is innocent, cute, and genuinely kind to me.
"Emperor Xin is isolated in this abyss, probably unaware of what's happening outside," Xu said, taking a step forward and ruffling Lingling's hair.
Liu Lieyu's younger brother, Liu Kun, was also following behind Xu. When he saw me, he glanced at me and then quickly lowered his head, wanting to go forward but hesitant.
"What happened?" I had a vague idea of the answer.
"You Yuan sent you away to carry out a major operation to hunt down Liu Lieyu. His methods were cruel, and the entire Changbai Mountain was destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives on Changbai Mountain were tragically killed." Xu said calmly, without any emotional fluctuation on his face. Liu Lingling, who was on my waist, cried even harder, and Liu Kun also sobbed softly.
"Jingjing, Ahu, Xiaozhe, they're all gone. Sister Xin, why? Why did this happen?" Liu Lingling's delicate voice was now somewhat hoarse.
"How could this be?" I was shocked. How could You do such a thing? Such a heinous crime. After a moment, I asked, "Then how did you escape?"
Given the ruthless methods You used to hunt down Liu Lieyu, Liu Lingling and Liu Kun, as Liu Lieyu's family members, must be You's number one targets.
"Before my second brother left, he hid Liu Kun and me in a cave. When You Yuan came and found no one from the Liu family, he interrogated the creatures of Changbai Mountain. They were all captured. Although my brother and I were safe in the cave, there was constant wailing outside. I was worried about my master's safety, so I secretly slipped out to find him after most of the heavenly soldiers had left. My master's mirror was very powerful; it found Sister Xin in no time." Liu Lingling recounted the story while holding back her tears.
The noise in my yard alerted Luo Fengsu and the others, and they all rushed over.
"Master, what's this? What are those two little devils from the Liu family doing here?! And who is this white-haired person?" Feng Su was startled when she saw Liu Lingling and Liu Kun as soon as she entered. She rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was still half asleep and had misread things.
Luo glanced warily at Xu, then quickly stood in front of me, guarding against Xu.
Xu glanced at the arriving crowd but didn't take them seriously. His gaze softened only when he saw Lingling.
"Sister Xin, the monsters in Changbai Mountain did nothing wrong, so why is this happening?"
I knelt down, picked up Lingling, and said softly, "Don't worry, your sister will save your friends. Adult matters shouldn't involve you children."
"My lord, what has happened?"
"You destroyed the entire Changbai Mountain in pursuit of Liu Lieyu, and the monsters may have all met with misfortune."
"What?" Luo was also shocked upon hearing this.
There are many demons cultivating in Changbai Mountain, and their families have ancient origins. Many immortals in the Heavenly Court also come from Changbai Mountain. You's sudden act of taking such a brutal and reckless action also frightened Luo.
"Why drag the entire Changbai Mountain into the pursuit of Liu Lieyu?" Feng Su was also incredulous. How could the immortals allow such a brutal approach?
