Xiao Muling ran through the door and quickly closed it!

The moment she closed the door, the darkness retreated, and the space’s scenery appeared before her again.

Startled, she turned to look behind her.

The stone wall was right there. Everything around her was the same as always; it was as though nothing had happened.

“I’m back just like that?” Pointing at the stone wall, she became even more confused.

That angry face flashed across her mind.

She hesitated and reached out to touch the stone wall, panting slightly. “You won’t follow me, right?”

Xiao Muling touched the stone wall with her finger, but there was no movement at all. There was no sudden darkness or a door appearing before her like earlier.

She then heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m glad I ran fast.”

‘But what is with this stone wall? That place isn’t part of the space? It seems like it was indeed not my space, but if that’s the case, why did I suddenly go there? And that man—who was he? Why is his heartbeat the same as mine?’ She placed her hand on her chest again; she could no longer hear that heartbeat.

The angry face from earlier appeared in her mind. “His eyes… are purple.”

When she was in the ice room just now, she only cared about leaving and didn’t care about anything else. However, this man’s appearance was really top-notch in the world.

She had never seen such a beautiful man!

After taking another look at the stone wall and confirming that the man wouldn’t follow her, Xiao Muling prepared to go back and continue cultivating.

Even though the power flow in her body was reversed, she could indeed cultivate. Since she could cultivate like this and there was no other cultivation method, she had to continue.

As for why, she could only wait for an answer in the future.

“Family leader.”

“Wait for me; I’ll go in and take a look at Ling’er.”

“Yes.”

…

Hearing the voice coming from outside, Xiao Muling immediately left the space.

When she returned to her room, she looked outside and saw that the sky was already bright. Seeing that Xiao Canglan was about to enter, she quickly returned to her bed.

She had just sat down on the bed when Xiao Canglan pushed open the door and entered the room.

“Dad.” Xiao Muling calmed her breathing and smiled.

Xiao Canglan saw that she was up and quickly walked over. “Why are you up? Are you hungry?”

“I’m hungry.” She was really hungry. After a night of torture and such serious injuries, her beaten body couldn’t take it anymore.

Xiao Canglan looked at her and smiled dotingly. “I’ll get someone to prepare food.”

He turned to leave as he spoke, but Xiao Muling pulled him back. “Dad.”

Xiao Canglan turned around nervously. “Are you feeling unwell?”

“Did you see the Regent last night?” They claimed that they wanted to resolve the Xiao family’s current situation, but it wouldn’t be that easy with the Regent.

They wouldn’t be able to do anything if he couldn’t meet the Regent, and even when he did, he would have to ask the Regent to agree and speak up for the Xiao family.

Xiao Canglan was stunned for a moment before recovering. “You heard everything?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“The Regent didn’t go last night, but don’t worry, Ling’er. Father will protect the Xiao family and Ling’er well.” As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xiao Muling’s head.

It wasn’t easy to meet the Regent. The number of times he appeared in a year could be counted.

He said he would come last night, but it was expected that he wouldn’t come. However, Xiao Canglan would definitely guard the Xiao family well. Only by ensuring the Xiao family’s safety could he protect his Ling’er.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Xiao Muling didn’t say anything and only agreed.

Without the Regent, she had to find her own way. Even though her cultivation was different from ordinary people, she could still cultivate. Also, she had already reached the Spiritual Cultivator rank.

If she could cultivate, she would be able to protect her father!

“Dad, I have another question.”

“Yeah?”

“How many Summoners does our Xiao family have?” she asked seriously.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Xiao Canglan was puzzled. Xiao Muling had never cared about these things before. He also didn’t mention it to her previously because he was afraid that it would hurt her.

“I’m Father’s daughter, the Xiao Family’s eldest daughter. It’s only right for me to be concerned about this,” Xiao Muling replied with a smile.

Xiao Canglan walked to the bedside and sat down. He smiled gently and said, “Father is the only summoner in the Xiao family.”

‘He is the only one!’ Xiao Muling’s mouth twitched. ‘Are Summoners that rare?’

“Didn’t they say that Xiao Liangxiao is so talented that she’s a Summoner?”

‘In that case, Xiao Liangxiao isn’t a Summoner.’

Xiao Canglan reached out and gently flicked her forehead. “Ling’er, where did all the things Father taught you go?”

‘Uh… Taught me? He might have taught them, but I don’t remember any of that.’

“Alright, have a good rest first.” Xiao Canglan thought that she was just curious and didn’t think too much.

“Father, I want to go to the Hidden Pavilion.” The Hidden Pavilion contained the Xiao family’s various books and weapons, as well as some precious and rare items. Perhaps she could find an answer regarding her cultivation in the Hidden Pavilion.

‘I don’t know when I’m going to the Hidden Pavilion. I’ll let him know first so that I can go straight there when the time comes.’

“Hidden Pavilion?” Xiao Canglan was a little surprised. Ling’er never goes to places like that. In fact, she even avoids them deliberately. Why would she want to go now?’

“I want to take a look when I have nothing to do.” In the past, Xiao Muling didn’t like to go to the Hidden Pavilion because she couldn’t cultivate. She herself was aware of this.

As for now, she wanted to find out the reason why her body’s power flow was reversed. She also wanted to understand the Xiao family through the records in the Hidden Pavilion.

She had just arrived in this world, so there were still many things she needed to understand. The Hidden Pavilion was a very good place.

“You can go if you want.” It was good to go and take a look.

Xiao Muling responded with a smile and looked at Xiao Canglan. In her memory, her father was always very gentle in front of her; he never spoke loudly.

It seemed like last night was the first time she had seen her father so furious. That had worried her.

“Wait here for a while; Xiao Qing will bring you some food. Daddy still has something to do.”

“Yeah.”

Xiao Canglan stood up and left. Xiao Qing—who had been guarding outside the whole night—followed Xiao Canglan.

Xiao Muling laid down and watched them leave. Just as she was about to enter the space again, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock.

Xiao Muling was about to speak when the person outside pushed the door open and entered.

Frowning, she laid down and closed her eyes.

The person came in without waiting for her to speak, obviously thinking that she was still awake.

The person who walked in like this was probably not just here to see her. She had to wait and see first.

Seeing that Xiao Muling wasn’t awake yet, the person walked to the bedside with eyes filled with hostile intentions.

The person’s disdainful words rang in her ears, and the voice was filled with viciousness. “You ugly freak, why didn’t you die outside!?”

Under the blanket, Xiao Muling clenched her fists by her side. Anger surged in her heart! ‘Die outside? It turns out that this many people want me dead!’

“In that case, I’ll help Miss Liangxiao kill you!” With that, the person took out a dagger and stabbed at Xiao Muling’s heart!
