Saving a person was like extinguishing a fire. One had to be timely. Xiao Meimei dashed out quickly, but she did not expect the nine-tailed celestial fox Little White to be even faster, blocking her route.
Xiao Meimei nearly bumped into Little White as her momentum was too fast. She was stunned when she realized that it was Little White after she wiped her tears away.
Ling Yun had only mentioned that Little White was a fox. He hadn’t mention that Little White was a very clever nine-tailed celestial fox that could comprehend humans.
Xiao Meimei was only at Houtian Realm Level 3 and could not determine Little White’s level. Everything about Little White was mysterious. She was also not at home most of the time.
“That fast?” Xiao Meimei was shocked. She was currently in the courtyard which was at least ten meters away from the sofa in the living room. Little White had cleared that distance with a simple leap.
Little White had reached self-consciousness quite long ago. Not only could she comprehend the human language, she was smarter than most people. She would be able to obtain a human form once her third tail grew out as well.
Her charming foxy eyes flashed with anger when she heard that Ling Yun was in danger. Little White stood on her hind legs as her left paw pointed towards the direction of Ling Yun’s bedroom while her right paw pointed towards Xiao Meimei. Her snow-white fox face was visibly anxious.
Xiao Meimei was shocked beyond words. Little White’s expression and reaction were incredibly human-like, save for the fact that she could not talk!
“Ling Yun is in great danger in the western suburbs. I am going to save him now,” Xiao Meimei replied unconsciously.
Little White nodded her head without waiting for Xiao Meimei to finish her sentence. She extended her front paw to touch Xiao Meimei’s arm and pointed the other paw at herself.
She wanted Xiao Meimei to bring her along. That much was obvious.
Xiao Meimei knew then that Little White was definitely not just a fox. She agreed and leaped over the wall that was more than two meters high without wasting another second.
Xiao Meimei found Little White waiting for her by the Hummer when she landed. She knew instantly that Little White was more powerful than her, which boosted her confidence.
“Why are the three of you still on the car?! Get out now! I need to use it!” Xiao Meimei stomped and shrieked at the trio when she realized that they hadn’t moved an inch.
“Big Sister Xiao, we have discussed and agreed that we cannot let you go back alone. We will accompany you to rescue Ling Yun!” Tang Meng said while popping his head out from the backseat.
“That is rubbish!” Xiao Meimei stomped her feet angrily again and retorted in a low voice, “Do you know how much Ling Yun had to suffer to let us escape? If even I can’t do anything but watch, what can you lot do other than to become a burden to Ling Yun?!”
Xiao Meimei pointed anxiously at Zhuang Meifeng who did not move from the co-pilot seat.
“Frankly, Ling Yun probably could have rescued you alone without the need to kill if we three did not insist on going. He would probably would not have sustained any injury as well!”
That rendered the three speechless. Zhuang Meifeng, however, was the first to recover her calm. “In that case, why are you going back now, Big Sister Xiao? Are you not afraid of death?”
“I…” Xiao Meimei avoided answering Zhuang Meifeng’s question and continued, “I understand your feelings. In the event both sides are heavily wounded, I will be able to help him escape. However, do you think Ling Yun will ignore you and escape with me if you were there? If no one manages to escape because of that, wouldn’t that be hurting Ling Yun indirectly? What would be the point of all that he has done tonight?”
Xiao Meimei opened Zhuang Meifeng’s car and carried her out of the car without saying another word.
“Alright, just stop adding on to Ling Yun’s problems! Get out of the car!”
“Don’t worry. I will let him escape even if I die!” Xiao Meimei whispered into Zhuang Meifeng’s ears as she put her petite body on the ground. Her voice was filled with resolve.
“Big Sister Xiao…” Zhuang Meifeng’s body trembled as she tugged at Xiao Meimei’s sleeve. She whispered softly, “Thank you, please be careful…”
Little White did not bother with any of this. She leapt into the copilot seat once Zhuang Meifeng was out of the car.
Casting a sigh of annoyance, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng could only follow suit and step into the rain since Zhuang Meifeng got off.
Xiao Meimei delayed no longer. She got onto the roaring Hummer and went full throttle to the west.
“Sister-in-law, what should we do now?” Tang Meng asked while he looked on. The Hummer carrying Xiao Meimei disappeared swiftly into the misty rain.
Zhuang Meifeng was really their sister-in-law now, after all that they had been through.
Zhuang Meifeng smiled sweetly when she finally turned her head towards Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng. “Thank you for risking your lives to save me.”
Tie Xiaohu rubbed his head with embarrassment. Tang Meng smiled awkwardly and said, “Sister-in-law, please don’t thank us. We went there without knowing that the Sun Family had such powerful people under them!”
Zhuang Meifeng smiled faintly with her heart in knots. Her biological father had ignored her feelings and pushed her into the pits of hell. However, Ling Yun had actually involved three unrelated people who risked their lives to save her. She could not help but sigh when she compared the two.
“Big Sister Xiao was right. Although we are willing to die with Ling Yun, Ling Yun might not be having the same thoughts. If not, he would not have worked so hard to send us out!”
“I know my husband. He hates it when others do stupid things. Let’s wait patiently for him here and not cause him any trouble. I am sure he will be able to break through since he is so capable!”
Zhuang Meifeng became very confident as she reminisced about the time when Ling Yun dealt with Lin Menghan and the incredible skills that Ling Yun had portrayed while saving her.
She also decided to learn some self-defense techniques from Ling Yun when he came back. She did not want to cause any such unnecessary trouble to Ling Yun.
…
The misty rain had morphed into a downpour. Several luxury cars were driving at full speed from all corners of Qingshui City towards the same destination — Zhuang Tiande’s villa in the western suburb!
Cao Shanshan drove a orange Lamborghini, Xue Meining was in a bright red Ferrari and Xiao Meimei was in the Hummer. No doubt the Hummer was the cheapest of the three, but it was definitely the fastest!
They had the same objective — to save Ling Yun!
However, the three beauties were not alone in their quest!
Tang Tianhao knew his son would not joke about such a matter. He called Kang Ruiyong, the Head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, immediately after receiving Tang Meng’s call and asked him to bring as many police officers as he could to the western suburbs!
This was a huge matter. Tang Tianhao had to head down to command the forces personally.
Tang Tianhao had handpicked and trained Kang Ruiyong as a special reconnaissance agent. He naturally gave his best when Tang Tianhao called for help!
Three police cars, eight, twelve… Nearly twenty cars were activated. The loud whistling from the sirens broke the peaceful silence of the midnight as they made their way to the western suburbs of Qingshui City!
Li Yifeng hopped out of the sofa in shock when he received the news about Ling Yun from Miracle Doctor Xue!
Li Yifeng was just thinking about bringing his son Li Qingchuan to Ling Yun’s house to express their gratitude. He did not expect him to get into trouble on the Qingming Festival!
Ling Yun belonged to “those people”. Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao concluded that they would let Ling Yun handle the matters that were at his level without any interference. They would only assist and protect him in the shadows.
Affairs of ‘those people” were not to be meddled with by normal people. They would not be able to help even if they wanted to.
Li Yifeng was hugely indebted to both Ling Yun, who was his son’s savior, and Tang Tianhao, who was his son’s protector. Li Yifeng could not feign ignorance! He had to help!
As the leader of Qingshui City, Li Yifeng was steady and thoughtful. He calmed down and made some calls.
He made some arrangements for work and called Tang Tianhao who was driving at lightning speed.
He only said one thing to Tang Tianhao. “I know about Ling Yun’s situation. I cannot be publicly involved in this, so I have made some alternative arrangements. Do what you think is necessary. If the situation calls for it, you can open fire!”
“Alright!” Tang Tianhao was reassured by the support from Li Yifeng and floored the gas pedal.
…
The three beauties, Cao Shanshan, Xue Meining and Xiao Meimei were rushing to the scene!
Li Yifeng, the Provincial Party Secretary, had arranged his forces while Tang Tianhao brought his police force and guns with him!
They were all heading to the same destination — the western suburbs!
There was another force at play here. They were masked and traveling by foot!
Miao Xiaomiao had covered her beautiful face with a black veil. She suited up in a black leather suit and a matching pair of leather boots. Her speed was almost on par with Ling Yun’s Thousand Miles Godly Steps!
At the same time, another three ladies dressed in similar fashions came from the other corner of Qingshui City!
Even though they were not actually flying, every single one of them was faster than He Xingyan. They were like three nightingales, leaping tens of meters with each tap on the ground.
They obvious thought that cars were way too slow since they were covering more than two hundred kilometers by foot!
They would reach Qingshui City in at most forty minutes with their current speed!
They set off at full speed after they determined He Xingyan’s location from the signal of his communicator!
These three were the top three Heaven-ranked killers in the Huaxia branch of the Assassins Organization. All of them were at Houtian Realm Level 9 and possessed terrifying strength!
On the Tiger Cliff at the peak of the Dragon Mountain, Dugu Mo was dressed in his iconic black robes and held a sword while standing in the storm. His long hair fluttered along with the wind. He stared at the mysterious Crater. His lips pursed tightly and his brows knitted slightly.
“Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell…”
Dugu Mo whispered to himself as he surveyed the terrain. He made a mental list of things to prepare for the exploratory trip in the Crater. There was no one on the Dragon Mountain save for himself.
He was actually almost ready. He was just putting it off as he was afraid he would meet with something he could not deal with since it was Qingming Festival.
Wee woo… Wee woo… Wee woo…
The lights on top of the police cars flashed as the sirens wailed, grabbing the attention of Dugu Mo.
He was at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level 8 and had cultivated extraordinary eyesight and hearing. He looked up with a face full of curiosity.
“My God, why are there so many police cars? What is happening in Qingshui City?
“Since I have nothing to do, I might as well take a peek…”
Dugu Mo jumped directly off the steep Tiger Cliff in excitement, like a hunter who saw his prey!
…
Ling Yun was right, changes were happening in Qingshui City!
The entire city was mobilized just for Ling Yun. This Qingming Festival was destined to become a bloody night!
