Following Du Sanniang's footsteps, Roubao sensed that Cui Yulu's presence was growing stronger. He would be very happy if Tuoba Xuan were awake.
Unfortunately, he was injured, and the woman, unaware of his own feelings, had no choice but to obediently follow him.
"Be a good boy and follow me. I like obedient people the most. If you don't listen, I won't take care of your master anymore."
As Du Sanniang walked, she kept reminding the little white wolf. The little guy was very smart and followed her obediently, even more so than her own son.
The little mute boy waited anxiously outside the cave. Suddenly, a piercing whistle rang out, and a black feather landed in his hand.
Seeing that Lai Guitou and Xia Lan'er were so engrossed in their romance that they had no time to pay attention to him, the little mute quickly took a few steps and turned into a black shadow, leaving the place.
On the other side of Jade Mountain, inside the Stone Cliff Cave.
Hu Binglan's expression wasn't very good; clearly, the two had just had an argument, which the little mute could tell. He also knew that Hu Binglan liked the black-clad Lu Changfeng.
That's right, the real name of the man in black is Lu Changfeng, a man burdened with a deep-seated hatred, all of which stems from Fu Xiaoyu.
"Does Master have any instructions? Why did you summon me here in such a hurry? Has the plan changed?"
"Haha, of course there will be changes. Right now, I'm planning a grand strategy, and you are my most valuable pieces. I need your full cooperation, you understand?"
Xu Zhengfan, the mute boy, nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Binglan, do you understand how important what you're about to do is?"
Hu Binglan was not satisfied with the task given to her, and angrily turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
"You really think too highly of yourself. I could save you back then, and I can kill you just as easily now. Hu Die is already fourteen years old. Now that I've found her birth parents, all you have to do is send her back. From now on, all you have to do is stay by her side and help her clear all obstacles. Hu Binglan, this is a mission that must be completed, do you understand?"
"I understand these principles, of course, but could you please not drag Hu Die into this?"
"These things are not up to you. This is Hu Diedie's fate. She was meant to stay by the Emperor's side. Just do what you need to do."
Hu Binglan wanted to say something more, but Lu Changfeng silenced her by striking her acupoint, and she couldn't make a sound for a moment.
"Then what am I supposed to do? Kill Fu Xiaoyu?"
The mute boy wanted to finish this mission as soon as possible so that he could stay by Cui Yulu's side in peace. Even if she didn't like him, he would feel happy just to be with her.
Lu Changfeng's eagle-like eyes swept across his face, seeing right through his thoughts.
"Hmph, you're dreaming. Killing Fu Xiaoyu isn't your job. Don't think I don't know if you've fallen for Fu Xiaoyu's woman. Don't be afraid. Since Fu Xiaoyu has a weakness, we should make good use of it."
"What are you trying to do? Don't hurt Yulu. She's innocent. She doesn't know what Fu Xiaoyu did."
Lu Changfeng's face showed a look of disgust. How could someone who was burdened with a blood feud have feelings? Feelings were a stumbling block to their mission.
This stumbling block must be removed.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her, and how about I let you two be together?"
To everyone's surprise, the little mute girl shook her head: "Don't hurt her. I just want to stay by her side. I have no other intentions. Please don't hurt her, okay?"
The mute boy understood Lu Changfeng; he knew that Lu Changfeng's promises of "help" always involved scheming, and he didn't want that kind of help. He didn't want to hurt Cui Yulu.
"These are none of your business. Just take me to her, and don't worry about what happens next."
The little mute girl looked at him with a face full of surprise, and at this moment she didn't understand what this man was going to do, but she didn't dare to disobey him.
"How can I get you there?"
A sinister look appeared on Lu Changfeng's face. He channeled all his inner strength into his palm and struck himself hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Now you know how to get me there, right?"
His eyes held a fierce glint as he looked at Hu Binglan and the little mute girl, his right-hand women, both of whom were easily troubled by emotions, which displeased him greatly.
"Why are you doing this? Even if you want to get close to that woman, you don't have to go to such lengths. What if your heart meridian breaks?"
Hu Binglan used her internal energy to break through the mute acupoint, rushed into his arms, and helped him up.
"If you don't understand, don't say anything more. Remember your task: help Hu Die ascend to the position of Empress. Do you understand?"
The sight of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth made Hu Binglan's heart ache, and she couldn't care less about anything else, so she quickly agreed to his request.
"I promise you I will make Hu Die the empress, and this country will be ours too."
"What use is this empire to me? You still don't understand me. You should leave."
A hint of disappointment crossed Lu Changfeng's face. After so many years by his side, she still didn't understand his heart and even claimed to like him. How utterly foolish.
His world is devoid of emotion; his hatred forbids him from having feelings. He seeks revenge and wants to kill all his enemies.
The two transformed into a black shadow and left the Stone Cliff Cave together, heading towards Ghost Cave Village.
At that moment, Du Sanniang arrived at Cui Yulu's stone cave with Tuoba Xuan.
What's going on?
When Cui Yulu saw Du Sanniang carrying a man in, she asked him in surprise.
Before Du Sanniang could even speak, a white figure darted out and jumped onto her with a howl.
Cui Yulu subconsciously took out a silver needle, intending to pierce the little white thing, but when she looked at it clearly, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that the little thing was quite cute.
"Awoo, awoo..."
The little bun squirmed excitedly in her arms, as if expressing its longing over the past few days.
"This little guy seems to recognize you. Could it be one of your old pets?"
Cui Yulu also felt a natural affinity for the little white wolf, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
"Let's put that aside for now. You should help me get this man down. I think my arm is broken."
Cui Yulu didn't dare to delay for a moment and helped her put Tuoba Xuan on the stone bed.
Then he looked at her shoulder and said, "It's nothing serious, just a dislocated shoulder. I'll put it back in place for you."
Cui Yulu felt a surge of admiration for Du Sanniang.
"You really have a lot of perseverance. You managed to bring your dislocated shoulder here. That's amazing."
"What could I do? I was just walking along, and then this thing fell from the sky. I instinctively reached out to catch it, and it hit this big guy! I'm exhausted. You need to check on him quickly, don't let him die, otherwise my dislocated arm will have been for nothing."
