Chqpter 90: Look back, and perhaps you'll find something special

Chapter 90: Suddenly Looking Back, Who is Waiting for You?

Mother Du was the first to react, grabbing Ling Xiaoxuan's arm and nervously asking on the phone, "Mr. Ling, the two children have always gotten along well, and they have always been in love. How can this marriage be annulled just like that? We're still in Yuncheng. Let's discuss what to do when we get back?"

In her anxious tone, there was a sense of panic and expectation.

Once the marriage was annulled, the Du family's status in the capital would plummet.

Having tasted the benefits of being related to the Ling family, how could they give up such a powerful ally?

"There's no room for discussion on this matter. Sorry, I have something else to attend to. Goodbye."

Ling Xiaoxuan's uncle acted decisively and obviously had no room for discussion regarding the annulment of the marriage.

The Ling family's bodyguards were all assigned to Ling Xiaoxuan by her uncle. After they descended the mountain, the bodyguards reported everything that happened on the mountain to their employer.

The bodyguards did not know about Ling Feng's existence, nor did they know about the entanglement between Du Changheng, the former scholar, princess, and Ling Feng.

However, just by getting engaged to the Ling family and sleeping with a female member of the exploration team, Du Changheng had already touched upon the dignity of the Ling family, which was a noble family.

Ling Xiaoxuan did not like the marriage and opposed it in her heart, so there was no room for discussion on the matter.

After the phone was hung up, Ling Xiaoxuan's gaze fell on Du Changheng, who was lying on the only wooden bed in the room.

Her eyes overflowed with complexity, disdain, and coldness.

She couldn't afford a man like him, Du Changheng.

Ignoring mather Du entanglement, Ling Xiaoxuan turned and left the room.

The Ling family's bodyguards quickly followed, protecting her from the chaos.

Their main responsibility was to ensure Miss's safety, and the lives and deaths of others were not within their scope of responsibility.

Qin Ruan stood in the reception area corridor, her cold eyes falling on the emptiness in front of her.

"Thank you for your help," said the invisible Ling Feng to Qin Ruan, bowing slightly in gratitude.

"I have already received the appropriate compensation, there's no need to thank me," replied Qin Ruan, standing with her arms crossed in a casual and lazy posture.

The compensation she referred to was the scarf that had been entangled with a grudge for hundreds of years.

Ling Feng stood up and gazed at Qin Ruan with clear, dark eyes, showing obvious curiosity and a desire to investigate.

She was very interested in Qin Ruan, a woman like no other she had ever seen before. Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but she also possessed mysterious and unfathomable abilities, as well as a decisive and efficient style of action.

Under Ling Feng's inquisitive gaze, Qin Ruan smiled and asked, "Do you still want to kill Du Changheng?"

Ling Feng furrowed her beautiful brows and shook her head gently, "I don't know."

Once she violated the precepts of killing, her hundreds of years of cultivation would be ruined.

As Qin Ruan had said before, was it worth it?

Ling Feng was not sure, so she had not made a decision yet.

Her confused expression elicited a low laugh from Qin Ruan, the meaning of which was unclear.

As she caught a glimpse of Ling Xiaoxuan walking out of the door, Qin Ruan stood up straight.

She turned her head and gazed at the vast and dense forest of Qishan, speaking softly, "When you're consumed with hatred, have you ever thought of turning back and taking a look?"

Ling Feng looked puzzled and followed her gaze, only seeing the familiar and monotonous scenery she had known for hundreds of years.

Qin Ruan sighed softly, "You've been chasing after hatred for hundreds of years, never looking back, but you don't know that every step you take, someone is following in your footsteps. Look back, and perhaps you'll find something special."

With that, Qin Ruan fell silent and walked towards Ling Xiaoxuan, who was waiting for her, carrying her backpack.

The heavenly laws were inviolable, and revealing divine secrets could be detrimental to one's lifespan.

Qin Ruan's short and obscure hints were already taking a huge risk, prompted by the resonance and sadness Ling Feng had experienced.
