"marry" to your nemesis

Feng Ling's mind went blank, but the old man's tone was very firm.

"You... who the hell are you!" Feng Ling didn't pursue whether the old man's words were true or not. She was more curious about the old man's words.identity.

The old man chuckled. He seemed to feel that drinking with a wine glass was not enjoyable, so he directly picked up the hip flask and took a sip of the wine.

The refreshing wine made the old man show a very happy expression. He wiped his mouth and said in a calm manner, "Is who I am important to you?"

"It's about your purpose of getting close to me."

Such a straightforward conversation surprised the old man.

But then he shook his head indifferently, "Ah Yao asked me to come to you, she is worried about you and that heartless little girl."

"Ayao?" In Feng Ling's mind, the girl sitting in a wheelchair and always smiling softly appeared.

But what kind of heart is behind that so-called tenderness?

Feng Ling didn't see it through, but at least she never believed that A Yao was a simple person...

"She asked you to come to me, why?" Feng Ling said heavily, with obvious vigilance.

The old man smiled, "The purpose is very simple, she wants you to leave."

"leave?"

"Leave here, leave Yuyang City, and leave the eldest princess."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Ling couldn't help but curl her lips, and said coldly, "It seems that the fox's tail can't be hidden anymore."

She has known for a long time that A Yao's purpose is not simple, but before, she could not guess the specific direction.

Now, some things seem to be becoming clearer...

"Whether it's a fox's tail or not, we never thought of hiding it." After drinking a jug of wine, the old man put the jug on the table, and then looked at Feng Ling solemnly. "I didn't rebel, do you want to participate?"

"Presumptuous!" Feng Ling slapped the table with a palm, and stood up with a stern expression.

Seeing that the old man didn't move at all, as if he didn't care about himself at all, Feng Ling couldn't help but frowned, "You know, with what you said just now, I can immediately kill you according to the law!"

"Oh? The old man has lived to such an age, it doesn't matter if he dies, but... don't you wonder what happened in the past?"

The old man stood up with a half-smile, then stretched out a hand, put it on Feng Ling's shoulder, and pressed Feng Ling back on the chair with a little force, "Young man, don't be too impatient."

Suddenly, the topic went back to the original point.

past!

This question that once troubled Feng Ling, but was deliberately forgotten by Feng Ling, is now placed in front of Feng Ling, fresh and solemn.

What happened in the past?

And the person in front of him, is what he said really believable?

Feng Ling is not a curious person, what happened in the past has become the past after all.

And at this moment, the old man seemed to see through Feng Ling's thoughts, "Don't you want to know what is the relationship between Wu Ning'er and you?"

Such a familiar name suddenly broke the strongest resistance in Feng Ling's heart.

"Am I related to her?"

Was the woman who had been between me and Tang Xiao for three years actually related to me?

It's not that Feng Ling didn't check this person, but Tang Xiao lived in the mountains for too long, so it was difficult to check the people around her.As a result, the matter about Wu Ning'er's life experience ended up being nothing.

And seeing Feng Ling let go, the old man smiled meaningfully, "If you want to know, then come with me."

Feng Ling narrowed her cold eyes slightly, her murderous aura gradually rising.

"If you want to know something, you have to pay a price, don't you?"

"Don't you think that after you lure me away, you will be able to rebel successfully?" Feng Ling sneered this time, "Ah Yao can't be so naive, can she?"

"We have our plans, as for you...".The old man always looked a little muddy, and his eyes suddenly became deep and bright, "Just now, you asked Tang Xiao to choose between you and A Yao, now it's your turn to choose between Tang Xiao and the eldest princess."

"How to say?"

"Are you going to continue to put Tang Xiao in a dilemma, or simply follow me, give up everything in Yuyang City, and then go find your past memories?"

"..."

It sounds like there is no temptation at all.

For Feng Ling, the eldest princess has the grace of nurturing.Due to emotion and reason, it is impossible for her to abandon the eldest princess and leave.

What's more, in front of him, there is another person who threatens to rebel.

Feng Ling had no reason to leave, but Tang Xiao...

With the strength of A Yao and the others, if they leave for a period of time, they should not do anything particularly excessive.

"Can you make sure that she won't get involved unnecessarily because of this incident or you?" After a long silence, Feng Ling looked at the old man coldly.

The old man threw the peanuts in his hand into his mouth, and then said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, even if I want to implicate her, there is still one person in Yuyang City who disagrees."

The so-called charade is self-evident.

Feng Ling couldn't help but sneer, "If you really don't want to implicate her, then you shouldn't let her go back to Yuyang City."

"Having said that, there are some things that he needs to understand by himself." The old man yawned, then stood up, "Okay, it's getting late, we should go."

"Let's go now?"

"Why don't you wait until that girl wakes up, and let you say goodbye before leaving?" The old man glanced at Feng Ling and sneered.

Feng Ling was at a loss for words, "Then do you want to leave a message for her?"

"Okay, put away your love for children, A Yao has already ordered everything, and you don't need to worry about it here." The old man turned around impatiently, and walked towards the door .

Feng Ling turned her head and glanced at the direction of the inn's stairs.

After a long time, under the urging of the old man again, Feng Ling resolutely turned around and followed the old man into the night.

And Tang Xiao, who had been hiding at the corner of the stairs, silently listening to the conversation between the two people downstairs, made sure that there was no more movement downstairs, and then poked her head out——

The mess on the table downstairs became evidence that Feng Ling and the old man were indeed there just now.

Tang Xiao felt that everything was like a dream...

What did they say just now?

What rebellion?

what past?

What Wu Ning'er?

......

Tang Xiao's mind was in a mess.

But what really touched her heart was: when Feng Ling was choosing herself or the eldest princess, she unexpectedly chose herself.

Is it because you care about her?

Or is it just because she is curious about her past?

Everything that happened during the day today flashed through Tang Xiao's mind like a revolving lantern.

It turned out that everything was so beautiful.

Especially, when these come up in memories.

Tang Xiao was slightly lost in thought.

In fact, she had every chance to rush out to say goodbye to Feng Ling just now.

But she didn't.

She curled up on the stairs, shivering and trembling, not knowing what to do.

Because she knew very well that if she stood up, she would not only have to face Feng Ling, but also... many, many things that the old man said!

She wasn't ready for this yet.

Then when Tang Xiao was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper downstairs exclaim, "Oh, it's not good! Li's house in the south of the city is on fire!"

Li family?

Li Xiao's house?

Tang Xiao stood up with a blank mind. After a while, her thoughts gradually gathered and she came back to her senses.

"What did you just say about the Li family?" Tang Xiao walked over and grabbed the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper pointed out, and Tang Xiao looked over.

All I saw was a beam of light, tearing apart the thick night violently.

The dazzling light made Tang Xiao unable to open his eyes.

Li Xiao has already taken his family away, Tang Xiao knows this very well.

Feng Ling is also very clear.

But why is the Li family still on fire?

Tang Xiao was full of doubts, left the inn, and ran towards Li's house.

The people from the government had already arrived, and most of the fire had been extinguished.

"Hurry up, there are still people inside!" Somebody yelled, and the people fighting the fire sped up their actions.

And Tang Xiao's heart sank, he didn't know what happened at all.

But she knew that she couldn't act rashly at this time.

The fire was completely extinguished after half an hour.

The government officials dug up ten corpses from the ruins.

The number is equivalent to the number of people in Li's mansion, and there is a pregnant person in it.

Hearing this news, Tang Xiao was like a bolt from the blue.

"What a crime! In one night, this whole family is gone!"

"That's right! I don't know which crazy person set fire to her house!"

"..."

Tang Xiao's entire head was empty.

She didn't know what happened, but at this moment, Feng Ling left, the old man left, and she was the only one left.

Tang Xiao didn't know where to go.

But the Li Mansion is gone, and the mission should be considered complete.

After tossing and turning all night, Tang Xiao went to Yuyang City alone.

On the way back, she had already made up her mind that if the eldest princess asked about Feng Ling's news, she would say that Feng Ling had left her and disappeared without a trace.

If it is a follow-up text, there are only three words——

do not know!

What surprised Tang Xiao was that Li Ruo was not surprised at all that Feng Ling didn't come back.

Even when Tang Xiao was about to talk about Feng Ling, she interrupted directly, "I already know about this."

"..."

"With Feng Ling not here, the Lingxi Palace cannot be without a master." Li Ruo looked up at Tang Xiao, "You should take the seat of the palace master for her first."

The inexplicable development made Tang Xiao feel uneasy.

Did Li Ruo find anything?

Does she know where Feng Ling has gone?

Then does she know the plan of A Yao and the old man?

she was--

Tang Xiao didn't know how he got back to Lingxi Palace.

The moment he saw A Yao, he was not as excited as he had imagined. On the contrary, Tang Xiao said worriedly, "A Yao, tell me the truth, is Feng Ling still safe now?"

The smile on A Yao's face was still gentle, but the expression in her eyes was slightly darker.
