Several people were chattering more and more loudly.
At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind.
"It's so lively here, why don't you take me with you?"
"who?!"
Several people stopped moving and turned their heads. They saw Ling Xuewei leaning against the tree with her arms folded. They stared at her for an unknown amount of time.
For a moment, everyone felt panicked as if they had been caught.
But they soon recovered.
"Ling Xuewei! What are you doing there?!"
Ling Ran put his hands on his waist, pointed at Ling Xuewei and cursed.
"I'm warning you, don't mind your own business! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!!"
"Oh? How do you want to be rude?"
Ling Xuewei took a quick glance and found that these people were all the people who were with Ling Yanfeng last night.
"Ling Xuewei! Don't think that because you are the daughter of the first wife, we are afraid of you! Who has the final say in the Ling family? You should think carefully about it yourself!" Ling Ran threatened.
"Who has the final say in the Ling family? Do you want me to tell you now?" Ling Xuewei felt a little funny and jumped down from the tree.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Several people were so frightened that they backed away.
Obviously there are so many of them, but there is only one Ling Xuewei.
They don't know where the fear deep in their hearts comes from.
The corner of Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up with a hint of evil.
"What do you think?"
Next, a shrill scream resounded through the forest, startling countless birds.
Even the people on the top of the mountain could hear it clearly.
"Master, it seems that the time is almost here, someone should be here soon." Ling Fu said respectfully.
"Well. Ling Fu, there are only three qualified candidates today, do you understand?" Ling Xiao said coldly.
Ling Fu was startled, but then he quickly understood, "Yes, I understand."
Even if Ling Xuesi and Ling Yanfeng did not come to participate in the trial, they were still on the list of those who passed.
And on the other side.
Ling Xuewei dealt with Ling Ran and others in seconds, glanced at Ling Yu who was bruised and swollen on the ground, turned around and left.
"Hey wait!!"
Ling Yu got up and walked to her. After pondering for a while, he finally said, "Thank you, third cousin."
Ling Xuewei didn't even bother to look at him.
"Before you have the strength, your behavior will only harm you."
"But can I just let myself be manipulated like this?"
The young man's tone was full of anger.
"Third cousin, Ling Ran and the others have been running rampant in the house all day long, doing all kinds of evil! I really can't swallow this breath!"
The young man's originally fair face was miserable, but his eyes revealed stubbornness and no trace of cowardice.
The corner of Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up slightly, this kid is quite talented.
"Speak these words after you have enough strength to subvert them! Sometimes forbearance is a thousand times better than a reckless brave man." Ling Xuewei said lightly.
After finishing his words, he stopped looking at Ling Yu's expression and walked straight forward.
Ling Yu was deep in thought. When he looked up, he found that Ling Xuewei had already walked a long way away, so he hurriedly chased after her, "Hey... Third cousin, wait for me!"
Ling Xuewei seemed not to notice the follower behind her, and the two of them headed towards the top of the mountain one after the other.
"Third cousin, it's all thanks to you!"
"I am the subordinate of the third old man in the fifth house. My name is Ling Yu."
"You may not have heard of me, but I'm still very grateful for your help just now."
…
Ling Yu followed Ling Xuewei, talking nonchalantly.
"I didn't want to save you, they blocked my way." Ling Xuewei became impatient with Ling Yu's nagging, so she could only say.
Although Ling Xuewei said this, Ling Yu didn't care at all.
"Third cousin, everyone in the house said you were arrogant and domineering, but I don't think you are that kind of person, cousin."
Ling Yu continued.
"Actually, I know that these rumors came from my second cousin. She is jealous that you are favored by your third uncle."
Ling Xuewei didn't speak and walked straight.
"Third cousin, you were so powerful just now! You defeated Ling Ran and the others in just a few strokes! I didn't even know you were so awesome!"
Ling Yu instantly transformed into Ling Xuewei's fanboy.
"Haha! Now I wonder if Ling Ran and the others will dare to be so arrogant in the future! Third cousin, can you teach me a few tricks? I want to learn it too!"
Ling Xuewei raised her head and glanced at Ling Yu, "Isn't there a tutor in the house? Wouldn't it be better to learn from them?"
Ling Yu's expression was a little sad, "We in the side room are not qualified to learn from the master. Only those under the head of the family can."
Ling Xuewei looked at Ling Yu's pitiful expression, paused, and then said, "I have time tomorrow. If you want to come, just come."
Ling Yu was startled and looked at her in surprise, "Third cousin, are you serious? Are you really willing to teach me?"
"If you don't want to, forget it." Ling Xuewei shrugged.
Although the child is a bit noisy, he is still a promising talent.
"I am willing! Of course I am! Thank you, third cousin! That's great!"
Ling Yu was so happy that he didn't look as cold as before.
"Third cousin, don't be discouraged!"
"Although your cultivation is gone, your skills are really great!"
"Even Ling Yanfeng is no match for you!"
"When it comes to the Four Nations Competition, maybe I can stand out!"
"..."
Ling Yu got excited and started talking nonstop again.
Suddenly Ling Xuewei in front stopped. Just as Ling Yu was about to say something, Ling Xuewei made a silent gesture towards him.
After a while, I heard the rustling of the grass all around.
Then a huge wild boar rushed out!
"Ah! That's a one-star spiritual beast, a porcupine! Why is it here?!"
Ling Yu was too frightened to move, but the porcupine roared and rushed towards the two of them!
Ling Xuewei pushed Ling Yu away suddenly and flew to avoid the attack!
Then she saw that the porcupine didn't care and bumped towards her!
"Third cousin, be careful!"
Ling Yu exclaimed, Ling Xuewei stepped on the tree trunk and jumped up to the tree!
"Bang!" With a sound, the porcupine's huge body actually knocked down the tree! The two horns on its mouth were so sharp that Ling Yu was frightened.
"Cousin, this porcupine has a very strong attack power! You have to be careful with its front horns, don't get entangled by it!"
Ling Yu quickly reminded.
Although his strength is not that great, he is better because his basic knowledge is solid enough. When he sees the star spirit beast porcupine, he can quickly tell its characteristics.
Ling Xuewei's figure nimbly shuttled back and forth between the trees. Wherever the porcupine passed below, the trees collapsed and it was a mess!
As if tirelessly, he chased Ling Xuewei desperately.
Gradually, she realized something was wrong.
It seemed that the porcupine only attacked her and didn't even look at Ling Yu who was not far away.
Ling Xuewei narrowed her eyes slightly, "Bai Ze, do you know what's going on?"
After a moment, Bai Ze's voice came, "I scanned it just now and found that your waistband was stained with thyme juice. Porcupines are very sensitive to thyme juice and tend to go crazy after smelling it. I'm afraid that's why it's chasing after you."
The reason why you won’t let go.”
Ling Xuewei's eyes turned cold.
She remembered that every child of the Ling Mansion brought this exit token before going out, and this token was given to her by the housekeeper Ling Fu.
What a Ling Fu, he actually harmed her!
It's just... I'm afraid there's someone else who really wants to harm her!
You don’t need to think too hard to know who this person is!
Ling Fu is Ling Xiao's confidant, no one in the house can instigate Ling Fu!
Ling Xiao!
OK, very good!
Unexpectedly, in order to achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to use such despicable means to kill his own daughter!
In the eyes of outsiders, she has become a useless person now!
Ling Xiao attracted the porcupine, didn't he want her life?!
In order to get a guard by her side, he really tried his best!
Ling Xuewei's eyes were cold. Although she had never thought about how much affection this nominal father had for her, she never thought that for his own benefit, he would be so crazy and crazy!
The momentum on his body suddenly increased, and there was a sudden flash of white light, and the porcupine below let out a shrill scream, and then fell to the ground!
Ling Xuewei slowly landed on the ground, took out the dagger from the porcupine's neck, took out the handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on it.
Ling Yu ran over from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
Looking at the deep gash on the porcupine's neck, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.
This porcupine's skin is so thick that ordinary daggers cannot hurt it!
How did my cousin do it?
"Cousin, are you okay?" Ling Yu asked anxiously.
Ling Xuewei put away the dagger, "It's okay, let's go."
"……oh oh."
Is it his imagination? Why does it feel like the aura on my cousin's body has changed?
…
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the two of them quickly reached the top of the mountain.
They were not the first to arrive, someone had already reached the finish line.
When they arrived, not only Ling Fu but also Ling Xiao were surprised.
How is that possible!!
How could she come out of the woods unscathed?
Could it be that the herbal juice has failed?
Or is Ling Fu incompetent?
Countless speculations flashed through, and Ling Xiao's face looked ugly at this moment.
Suddenly, Ling Xuewei over there looked over, and Ling Xiao met her eyes!
Instantly, he trembled!
What kind of look is that? It seems that he has already seen everything, with coldness and ridicule!
Could it be that she had seen through it a long time ago?
How is that possible?!
Ling Xiao's heart trembled, and when he wanted to explore further, Ling Xuewei had already looked away.
After that, he felt a little uneasy and didn't even pay attention to what Ling Fu was saying.
"...Master? Master!"
Ling Xiao came back to his senses, "Ah, what's wrong?"
"The time has come and the trial is over."
"Oh, okay, I understand, you can announce the result."
Ling Fu announced the end of the competition. There were three people qualified to compete, including Ling Xuewei and Ling Yu.
But this result made the fourth and fifth disciples very dissatisfied.
The promised five places were inexplicably missing by two.
"Why? We obviously agreed to be in the top five before! Why aren't we?"
Ling Fu said, "I told you before the competition that we need to arrive within an hour, but the two young masters have exceeded the time limit!"
"Nonsense! How could we time out! We calculated the time accurately!"
"I am the one who controlled the time. Are you doubting me?"
At this time, Ling Xiao spoke, looking quite impatient.
