"You're finally here!" A pot-bellied, wealthy man stood with his back to the door, surrounded by a dozen black-clad guards.
The one who just spoke was this big-bellied man. Xiao Ling'er quickly glanced around and found that there were many masters hiding in the dark.
The young girl Xiao Ruyi was tied to a chair with a black cloth stuffed in her mouth. A guard stood behind her with a sword against her neck.
"Wuwu, wuwu, wuwu..." When Xiao Ruyi saw Xiao Ling'er appear, she looked anxious and kept wuwu. Xiao Ling'er understood that she was asking her to leave.
"Shut up!" The guard behind Xiao Ruyi shouted and pressed the blade of the sword down. A hideous cut immediately appeared on Xiao Ruyi's neck, and big drops of blood dripped down.
"Auntie, don't move!" Xiao Ling'er said to Xiao Ruyi, then looked at the big-bellied man and said:
"Mr. Wu, you went to so much trouble to plan this, weren't you just trying to lure me to Luzhou?
Now that I'm here, I'll just stand here and ask you to release my aunt."
"Hahaha, let him go?" Mr. Wu laughed a few times, thinking that Xiao Ling'er had told a huge joke.
Xiao Ling'er looked at Mr. Wu laughing wildly, without a trace of fear on her face.
"Just because I went to so much trouble to lure you here doesn't mean I'm going to let her go. You all must die! You all must be buried with Sister Yu!"
What Mr. Wu said sounded a bit crazy. It seemed that he had some true fatherly love for Wu Jinyu.
Xiao Ling'er had just thought so when she was slapped in the face the next second.
"I can't let go of the hatred in my heart unless you die. Do you know what I've lost? Without Sister Yu, how can our Wu family enter the officialdom?"
Mr. Wu looked at Xiao Ling'er viciously, and found that there was no fear on Xiao Ling'er's face, which made him a little angry.
Then he suddenly thought of something and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Do you really think I only want to catch you? Hahaha!"
Xiao Ling'er frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "You also sent people to Jianzhou?"
"That's right, the only way is to send all of you to accompany Sister Yu. If that makes her happy, maybe she will be willing to reincarnate into the Wu family again.
I spent a large sum of money to have all the members of Tianyun Country's number one assassination organization come to take your lives, and this is your honor."
"Mr. Wu, I think you misunderstood something. I didn't kill your Yu Jie'er." Xiao Ling'er tried to explain.
"Don't try to quibble. I know you're the one who did all this. You're a God-encounter. Only a God-encounter has a divine weapon that can instantly stun a hundred guards.
You easily killed Yu Jie'er and swallowed up all the gold, silver, jewelry, and food, including the horses and carriages. Only a divine encounter like you could do this."
Xiao Ling'er was shocked. This Mr. Wu actually guessed her identity. He was able to grow his business so big. His acumen was unmatched.
This man cannot be kept alive. I never thought of sparing his life in the first place, and now it is absolutely impossible to let him continue to live.
"Mr. Wu, what are you talking about? I don't understand what a divine encounterer is." Xiao Ling'er asked Mr. Wu with narrowed eyes.
"If you're willing to hand over the black lump and other treasures, I might consider letting you go."
Thinking back to the report he had heard from the guards, Mr. Wu guessed that this peasant girl might have had a divine encounter just like the Empress of Luomeng Kingdom.
Therefore, he wanted her to hand over all the treasures on her body. With those treasures, he could become emperor like the empress.
Just wait for another stick of incense, and she will be drugged and unable to be awakened. Then everything she has will be his, and the whole world will be his.
Xiao Ling'er didn't know Wu Yuanwai's ambitions and what he was thinking at the moment, otherwise she would have said, "It's not even night yet, and you're already dreaming?"
