"Miss!"

The moment Xiao Linglang stepped on empty air, everyone showed frightened expressions.

Shanzhi slipped and fell on the snow, panting. Her messy hair and clothes showed her anxiety.

He stared at the person in the distance intently, and his hands that were supporting the ground clenched his sleeves quietly.

Fall! Fall! Destroy her face!

But she was still disappointed.

Tuoba Jin rushed over, and in an instant, he quickly pulled out the whip from his waist, wrapped it around Xiao Linglang, and pulled it back with force.

Before Xiao Linglang could react, she was caught steadily by the man and fell into his strong arms.

Despite trying hard to conceal it, the hands holding her still revealed a hint of nervousness. Xiao Linglang fluttered her eyelashes in shock, her fingertips clenched, and her hands tightly clasped his collar.

Tuoba Jin gently stroked Xiao Linglang's back, his eyes fixed on the hole which was about six feet deep. The hole was not big in diameter, and there were sharp wooden spikes standing inside, and the corpses of other creatures were piled around it.

His palms were planted, and his violent heartbeat slowed down. He didn't know whether he was speaking to himself or to the person in his arms. He said in a low and firm voice, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Xiao Linglang leaned on Tuoba Jin's shoulder, her face pale with fright, she looked at him timidly and nodded.

He glanced at the deep pit and his eyelashes trembled. If he fell into it, he would definitely suffer physical pain.

The snow was getting heavier. She hooked her arms around Tuoba Jin's neck, responding to his somewhat impatient and fierce kiss, calming his emotions. Her gaze fell on Shan Zhi, who was breathing out white air as she climbed up from the ground not far away, and she lowered her eyes.

"Wolf Lord, I want to go back. From now on, I, Xueqing, will follow you to learn, okay?" Her tone was soft and obedient, and if you listened carefully, you could hear that her voice was still trembling.

Tuoba Jin rested his hand against her forehead, breathing heavily, his gaze lightly cast to the side, his eyes flickering, the hostility in his gaze was stronger than the chill brought by the snow.

"Yeah." He pushed the person who had left his arms back into his arms, picked up Xiao Linglang in a bear hug, and walked towards Bai Falcon.

His tone was a little heavy, "I haven't checked it clearly."

Xiao Linglang buried her face in the crook of his neck and said softly, "I'm fine, Wolf Lord, don't blame yourself for running around chasing hedgehogs. If I had picked up a rabbit, there wouldn't be any flaws."

She bit her lip and her voice got smaller and smaller. "It's because I like to play."

After saying this, she pursed her lips guiltily and hugged Tuoba Jin tightly.

Tuoba Jin hugged the person, feeling very uncomfortable.

After putting the person on the horse, he straightened the girl's cloak and sat behind her in the stirrups.

"Fill this place up!"

Xiao Linglang glanced at Shan Zhi, who was in a dishevel and breathing out white air, looking at them worriedly, and lowered her eyes slightly.

There was deep disappointment mixed with relief in Shan Zhi's eyes. She turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Xing Qiu.

Xing Qiu looked at her limping and was very satisfied with her masterpiece. She had said long ago that if she was pretending, she had to pretend very well in order to deceive people.

She didn't look anxious at all like before, it would be more like a solid fall.

"Sister Shanzhi, are you okay? Do you want me to help you walk?" Xing Qiu's concern was not only reflected in his words. He grabbed Shanzhi's arm and held her hand.

Shanzhi hissed in pain.

Xing Qiu hurriedly let go of his arm and apologized to her in panic and guilt, "I'm sorry, Sister Shanzhi, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know your hand was scratched."

"It's okay." Shan Zhi's lips turned pale from the pain. She cursed in her heart, put on a smile, and replied to Xing Qiu with gritted teeth.

"Sister Bixi often does the rough work, so her hands and feet are heavy, so let me help Sister Shanzhi." Anong didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but seeing the scene in front of her, she had to take the job.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Anong." Xing Qiu said with a smile, then turned and walked away. After taking a step, she rolled up her sleeves and turned around to walk towards the pit.

"Where are you going?" Anong asked behind him.

"You guys go first, I'm so angry, the queen and the wolf lord were having a great time, I'm going to fill this hole."

"Okay...ok." Anong's voice weakened. Filling the hole was more troublesome than supporting Shanzhi. She decided to go back with Shanzhi.

When Xing Qiu arrived at the pit, the guards had just arrived. When they saw her coming, they made way for her and handed her a shovel.

Xing Qiu glanced at the man and teased him, "Are you really going to let me do it?"

"The girl has to appear before the queen, and I can't stop her." The man replied with a smile.

Xing Qiu snorted, retracted his gaze, turned his head and stared at Shan Zhi's back with a slight smile.

I underestimated her. I thought she was trying to attract Tuoba Jin's attention, but I didn't expect she also wanted to kill her target.

If anyone dared to bring harm to her, that fall would be a blessing.

Xing Qiu's movements of shoveling the soil were particularly heavy.

……

"My Lord Wolf, I learned this from the conversation with the cook when I went to the kitchen to prepare ginger soup."

Shan Zhi knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

"The hunting ground was originally used by the Jiehu Nan King to domesticate birds and beasts. Later, the Nan King's sons hunted there, but after playing for a long time, they felt that it was not enough, so they set up various traps and drove the captured slaves or servants into the ground for fun."

Tuoba Jin gave Dunk a look, and Dunk immediately understood. He glanced at Shan Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, then turned around to gather the slaves in the mansion together and interrogate them one by one.

When it came to questioning Ya Qiyi, unlike the others, she spoke very clearly. Dunke held the sword in both hands, raised his chin, and asked the soldiers to take her in front of Tuoba Jin.

"Lord Wolf, among all the people in the mansion, she is the only one who can say something."

After Dun Ke bowed, he repeated Ya Qiyi's words to Tuoba Jin, which were almost identical to Shan Zhi's.

Tuoba Jin's dark eyes, with a hint of sharpness, moved indifferently to Shan Zhi.

Shan Zhi touched her forehead with both hands and fell to the ground. "Lord Wolf, please understand. What I know is what this sister told me. After hearing what she said, I didn't take it seriously. I went back to the corridor with ginger soup and asked people. Then I learned that Lord Wolf had taken the queen to the hunting ground. I immediately rushed over."

Ya Qiyi didn't expect Tuoba Jin to be so cautious, fortunately they were fully prepared.

Knocking her hands on the ground, Ya Qiyi performed the Jiehu salute, then stood up, looked at the man sitting on the chair with neither servility nor arrogance, and said, "I used to serve you in the hunting grounds, and I know a thing or two about some of the things that happen in the hunting grounds. You once wanted to put me in the game, but I luckily escaped."

Tuoba Jin raised his eyelids, glanced at her face, and then looked away.

Ya Qiyi couldn't help but clench her palms.

He, what does that mean?

Shan Zhi was also a little surprised. The Wolf Lord's reaction was different from what they expected! But she felt a little sweet in her heart.

The Princess of the Southern King was not in the eyes of the Wolf Lord.

"reward."

A deep voice sounded in the quiet room. Ya Qiyi and Shan Zhi, who were kneeling on the ground, were both filled with anticipation.
