If Xiao Meimei had a choice, she would rather not come back.
At least not like this.
She could escape and come back. Ling Yun would feel sorry for her. He would fly into a rage for her and seek revenge for her.
She could also wait for him to save her. That way, she could be like Cao Shanshan, lying in his arms and watching him fight for her. Or maybe they could fight side by side.
She would rather be killed by Ye Xingchen or the Devil Sect. That way, Ling Yun would miss her for the rest of her life.
Only Xiao Meimei didn't want to come back like this. Even if she was unharmed, even if she was prettier, even if she appeared at the Heaven and Earth Group's ribbon-cutting ceremony and gave Ling Yun a huge surprise.
But after the surprise came the coldness.
Actually, it couldn't be considered coldness. That was because Ling Yun didn't avoid her no matter what he did these days.
Ling Yun arranged for Xiao Meimei's food and clothing. She could watch, listen, and observe Ling Yun's every move.
In fact, Ling Yun only brought three women, Qin Dongxue, Cao Shanshan, and her, Xiao Meimei, to Beijing, excluding the eldest sister of the Ling Family, Ling Xiu.
Xiao Meimei knew that Ling Yun had so many women in Qingshui City. Almost all of them wanted to follow him to Beijing.
Qin Dongxue was Ling Yun's aunt. Cao Shanshan had no choice but to come because of the Cao Family.
Therefore, Xiao Meimei was the only woman that Ling Yun deliberately brought to Beijing. It was inevitable that she would have sweet fantasies.
Even when Ling Yun saved the ten people from the Cao Family, Xiao Meimei didn't avoid him.
However, at least at this moment, Xiao Meimei was very clear that from the moment she returned to see Ling Yun, she would never be able to enter Ling Yun's heart again.
Of course, Xiao Meimei wasn't naive enough to think that Ling Yun brought her to Beijing this time because he had feelings for her.
Perhaps Ling Yun had something to ask her. More likely, it was to keep an eye on her.
Ling Yun was surprisingly calm and restrained in front of Xiao Meimei. He didn't say sweet nothings or ask about her well-being. He didn't even ask her what she had experienced after she was kidnapped by Ye Xingchen. He didn't ask her what she had experienced, what martial arts she had learned, or what realm she was at.
Ling Yun did not ask a single question.
Xiao Meimei could tell that in terms of trust, she couldn't even be compared to Mo Wudao, let alone Qin Dongxue and Cao Shanshan.
Xiao Meimei had no parents and became an assassin from the Assassins Organization. She met Ling Yun during an assassination mission. After she was captured by Ling Yun, she was recognized by Ling Yun because she fought side by side with him.
Xiao Meimei knew that she had finally made it into Ling Yun's heart after going through so much hardship when Ling Yun asked her to go to Qingshui Wharf Mansion Number Nine with Zhuang Meifeng to see Qin Qiuyue.
Then, Ling Yun disappeared, Zhuang Meifeng got into trouble, and Xiao Meimei was kidnapped. Now that he was back, everything had changed.
This kind of pain was very difficult to bear.
Xiao Meimei had no idea what Ling Yun was going to do, what his motive was, and what his plans were.
What she knew was what she saw. As for the rest, she could only rely on her own guesses.
Of course, Xiao Meimei knew why Ling Yun treated her this way. It was because she was kidnapped by Ye Xingchen and returned to the headquarters of the Devil Sect unscathed.
Moreover, Xiao Meimei knew her current identity. She was the maid of the Devil Sect's Holy Virgin, Ye Xingchen.
If she had a choice, Xiao Meimei would rather commit suicide than obey Ling Yun's orders. Even if the people of the Devil Sect didn't torture her and even taught her martial arts, Xiao Meimei still accepted it silently.
That was because she had an unspeakable secret and had no choice but to obey.
Someone told her that if Ling Yun was really from the Ling Family, then the previous Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, who was also Ye Xingchen's master, was Ling Yun's biological mother.
Ye Xingchen was the only disciple of the previous Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect. The previous Holy Virgin had long said that if Ye Xingchen wanted to marry, she could only marry her son.
In other words, Yin Qingxuan was grooming Ye Xingchen as her daughter-in-law.
If Ling Yun was really a descendant of the Ling Family, then Yin Qingxuan was Ling Yun's biological mother and Ye Xingchen was Ling Yun's official wife. How could Xiao Meimei dare to disobey these two people's orders?
Therefore, Xiao Meimei was willing to endure the humiliation just to wait for one thing to be confirmed — Ling Yun's identity.
If Ling Yun was that person, then all the suffering she had endured would finally be rewarded. Everything would be a happy ending.
If Ling Yun wasn't, then she would be willing to commit suicide for Ling Yun.
But now, Ling Yun didn't trust her and Ye Xingchen couldn't confirm Ling Yun's identity. Xiao Meimei was stuck between these two people.
She couldn't betray Ling Yun here and had to obey Ye Xingchen's orders on the other side. Xiao Meimei was suffering.
"It must be very painful, right?"
Ye Xingchen looked at the trembling Xiao Meimei with a faint smile in his bright eyes.
Xiao Meimei bit her lip and said with a trembling voice, "Yes."
Ye Xingchen suddenly raised his slender neck and looked up at the night sky. Gazing at the tranquil night sky, he sighed and said, "Me too."
"If Ling Yun wasn't a descendant of the Ling Family, I would definitely kill him with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Xiao Meimei suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Xingchen for the first time. She suddenly smiled charmingly.
"If he isn't, you'll have to kill me first if you want to kill him."
This time, Xiao Meimei didn't refer to herself as a servant.
For Ling Yun, she was willing to endure any humiliation. She didn't care if Ling Yun was a descendant of the Ling Family or not. If he wasn't, she would feel at ease. Whoever wanted to kill Ling Yun would have to step over her dead body.
Ye Xingchen giggled and teased, "Yo, you dare to talk to me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"
Xiao Meimei sneered, "When you captured me, I wasn't even afraid of death. Why would I be afraid of you being jealous?"
Seeing Xiao Meimei like this, Ye Xingchen shook with laughter and said, "Alright, I know you have deep feelings for him, and I also know you're not afraid of death. However, before we confirm Ling Yun's identity, there's no point in us talking about this."
Xiao Meimei nodded in tacit agreement.
Ye Xingchen suddenly stopped laughing and asked with a serious expression, "Then, what is Ling Yun's current plan? What is he doing? You don't know either?"
Xiao Meimei said, "I don't know."
Ye Xingchen said indifferently, "I came to the capital with three things to do. The first is naturally to confirm Ling Yun's identity. The second is to kill two people and take control of the Assassins Organization's branch in the capital. The third is to find a person. That person is my master's personal servant. She's the person who helped Ling Yun escape from the Devil Sect's headquarters. Her name is Qing Niao.
"Ling Yun's identity is currently unknown, but this doesn't affect my cooperation with him. If I want to make a move against the Assassins Organization's branch in the capital, tell him to come and see me.
"If Ling Yun is my master's son, then everyone will be happy. If he isn't, then there's going to be a lot of trouble.
"Xiao Meimei, do you think Ling Yun is my master's son?"
Xiao Meimei was silent for a long time. Finally, she shook her head. "I don't want to guess."
Ye Xingchen giggled. "Alright, it's about time. I still have other things to do, so you can go back first. Remember to keep in touch with me. "
With that, Ye Xingchen twisted her slender body and left the residence.
Xiao Meimei stood rooted to the ground. Two rows of clear tears silently rolled down her cold and charming face.
After a long time, she muttered to herself, "Ling Yun, just who are you? Do you know that I don't want to endure this kind of pain and torture for another day … "
…
Then, was Ling Yun a descendant of the Ling family?
There was no need to ask. At this time, Ling Yun was standing on Marquis Edward's back, searching for his father, Ling Xiao!
"Edward, be careful to always maintain a distance of about five hundred meters from the ground."
Five hundred meters above the ground, Ling Yun held his phone and opened the map app on it. He turned on the navigation and flew along the route he had set, all the way to the northeast.
Because he was looking for someone, Ling Yun didn't let go of any clues. He even used his divine sense to scan the two mountains in the park.
Now that Ling Yun had searched the mound between the Sixth and Seventh Rings, he found nothing. He was flying out of the Seventh Ring.
Along the way, Ling Yun had already entered the Huairou region. Beyond that, there were towering mountains and precipitous ridges. The Great Wall of China was already in Ling Yun's sight.
After passing the majestic Great Wall of Mutianyu, in the northeast direction was Shentang Valley and Hundred Springs Mountain. Ling Yun occasionally stopped to take a look at the map before continuing his search.
This time, Ling Yun flew strictly according to the direction calculated by Mo Wudao. He didn't deviate at all. This was because this was the endless Yan Mountain Range. It was simply too big.
Moreover, Ling Yun had full trust in Mo Wudao. He believed that Mo Wudao's calculations would be accurate.
The reason was simple. If Mo Wudao's calculations weren't accurate, he wouldn't have suffered the backlash. He would only suffer the backlash if he succeeded in prying into the secrets of heaven.
"We'll reach Yunmeng Mountain if we go any further …"
At around two in the morning, Ling Yun arrived at the southwest foothills of Yunmeng Mountain.
Further northeast of Yunmeng Mountain was naturally Longyun Mountain.
This area was the intersection of the two mountains that Mo Wudao had pointed out. It was also the most likely place where Ling Xiao was imprisoned.
Ling Yun asked Edward to stop and checked the navigation on his phone to confirm that he was on that line.
Yunmeng Mountain and Longyun Mountain were both scenic areas. However, Ling Yun realized that the line passed through dangerous peaks and cliffs. Ordinary tourists definitely wouldn't come to these places.
"Descend a hundred meters from the top of the mountain and fly close to the ridge!"
Ling Yun ordered decisively. He had to search the area in front of him carefully.
In such a place, as long as there was a house or a cave, Ling Yun had to explore it!
While Ling Yun was worried, his blood started to boil. There was a faint trace of excitement in his heart.
This was because the moment he found Ling Xiao, he wouldn't have to hide his identity anymore as long as he could rescue him and reunite with his father. (To be continued.)
