"What did you say, Yin Changling? You mean there's still hope for him?"
Tu Shan Lingxi had just emerged from her daze. Her face was pale and her eyes were blank, like a little white flower in the wind, about to be blown over.
She seemed to have just heard something—a way to save him, right? This person has a way to save him!
Tu Shan Lingxi grabbed Yin Changling's sleeve, as if she had grasped a lifeline, and desperately pressed him for answers.
"Yin Changling, there's still hope for him, isn't there?"
Yin Changling did indeed have a way to save him; the ancient scroll contained some method, but he hadn't looked at it closely.
Now, seeing Tu Shan Lingxi's determination to die, he naturally couldn't help but tell her.
Even if he felt resentful, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
"Indeed recorded—"
Just as Yin Changling was suppressing his anger and preparing to tell Tu Shanlingxi, two voices suddenly came from not far away, interrupting him.
Yin Changling had no choice but to look at the newcomers. When he saw the two small figures, something flashed in his eyes, and he immediately stopped talking.
"Mother—"
"Mother, Father—"
Tu Shan Lingxi turned her head and heard two incredibly childish voices, yet they tugged at her heartstrings—it was her daughter's voice.
Two small figures were rushing towards her. They were small and didn't run fast, but their little feet moved very quickly.
When she saw her babies, a few traces of light returned to her eyes.
Tu Shan Lingxi also stood up, and just as she was about to hug her two precious daughters, Yin Changling beat her to it and took the children away.
"Yiyi, Susu, you—Yin Changling, what are you doing?"
How could Tu Shan Lingxi stand by and watch the little foxes be taken away? So she reached out and tried to strike him with her spiritual power.
Yin Changling didn't even turn his head, as if he hadn't felt the palm strike behind him at all, and walked straight out, leaving a sentence in the air.
"If you want them, then come to the palace to find me."
Tu Shan Lingxi's mind was in a mess. She saw that wisp of spiritual energy flying towards the man's head. If it really hit, it would be an instant kill!
She hesitated...
In the end, that wisp of spiritual power was still dispersed by Tu Shan Lingxi. She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
She was uncertain about too many things, such as whether Wan Qijin was truly dead or not, how he could be resurrected, whether killing Yin Changling would affect Wan Qijin, and what Yin Changling wanted her to do to save Wan Qijin...
"Mother—"
"Mother, Mother—"
Wan Qiyi and Tu Shan Susu squirmed in Yin Changling's arms, struggling to get down and try to find their mother.
"You bastard, let us go!"
Wan Qiyi was the most unruly; she kept pounding on Yin Changling's shoulders and biting his arm with her sharp little teeth.
But even after she bit Yin Changling's arm until it bled, she couldn't make Yin Changling even flinch.
Tu Shan Su Su followed suit, constantly punching Yin Changling's chest with her little fists. Although she didn't use much force, it still made Yin Changling feel pain.
"You're a bad person, you're a bad person."
But Yin Changling ignored them completely, instead holding them tightly in his arms.
No matter what they did, Yin Changling didn't even flinch and continued walking forward with unwavering determination.
That's right, this is the new method Yin Changling came up with. He can't let Xi'er save Wan Qijin.
Yin Changling didn't believe that Tu Shan Lingxi could abandon her child. He wanted to use the child as a bargaining chip to make her obediently come to his side.
No matter what others say about him being despicable, Yin Changling doesn't refute them. He's been kept in the dark for three years, and he's gone mad during that time.
Without Xi'er by his side, Yin Changling almost couldn't survive, wandering aimlessly in the human world like a lost soul.
Moreover, who knows if Wan Qijin will take Xi'er away if he is saved!
Perhaps Wan Qijin doesn't need to do anything; simply staying alive is enough to obtain everything.
Unlike him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't win even a glance from Tu Shan Lingxi.
As Yin Changling thought this, his aura became increasingly sinister and terrifying.
The two little foxes in his arms seemed to sense the aura of destruction, and unconsciously stopped moving, snuggling together for warmth.
Animals are the most intelligent creatures, and the two little ones were very sensitive to any signs of danger, so we decided not to provoke this dangerous fellow.
Yin Changling didn't know if they were tired or scared, but his mind was full of Tu Shan Lingxi, and he couldn't spare a single thought for his little princess.
All he could do was silently pray, praying that Tu Shan Ling Xi would return to his side.
...
Tu Shan Lingxi did not chase after him. She knew that Yin Changling had long guessed whose child Tu Shan Susu was, and that Yin Changling would never harm Susu.
After all, the two look so alike that anyone could see the difference.
Moreover, what pained Tu Shan Lingxi the most was that this catastrophe had begun precisely because of Yin Changling's suspicions.
She would rather that Yin Changling never discover this secret and never set foot in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Yin Changling took Yi Yi and Su Su away, using them to blackmail her into leaving with him.
Based on this alone, he wouldn't harm Wan Qiyi, even if it was Wan Qijin's child.
Another point is that Yi Yi and Su Su have been close sisters since childhood.
Su Su wouldn't just stand by and watch Yin Changling kill her own sister.
Unless Yin Changling has gone mad, he would be so heartless as to harm children. If he really did that, I will definitely pay for it in blood.
She will go find the children as soon as possible, but not now.
Tu Shan Lingxi knew that what she was doing was cold-blooded, but—
She wanted to settle Wan Qijin first. She had a feeling that Wan Qijin wouldn't die so easily. There must be a way, right?
Tu Shan Lingxi wanted to go to Wan Qijin's treasure pavilion to see if there was any magic there. Even if it was evil magic, she was willing to try!
With great effort, she carried Wan Qijin on her back. Smelling the strong smell of blood on him, Tu Shan Lingxi felt a lump in her throat and almost cried again.
Knowing she couldn't think any longer and time was running out, she teleported instantly, bringing Wan Qijin to the side of the Hidden Arts Pavilion.
Tu Shan Lingxi carefully put him down. Looking at his pale and weak face, and his smiling purple eyes that could no longer be opened, her heart began to ache more and more.
She reached out and gently touched his face, a poignant look of longing crossing her eyes.
"Ah Jin, if only I could listen to you. It's all my fault for being so willful—"
Tu Shan Lingxi even thought in despair that if she hadn't secretly left three years ago and hadn't met Yin Changling, things would have been better.
