Kong Rui was brought out of the Li family’s ancestral hall by Chao Bai. After a few jumps on the eaves, she quickly returned to Li Ling’s courtyard.

“Those people can’t be left around any longer!” Chao Bai said coldly, very dissatisfied with Kong Rui for bringing those corpses back.

Kong Rui gritted her teeth. “I can’t let them stay there and continue to suffer injustice!”

“You…” Chao Bai wanted to say something, but in the end, he only sighed heavily.

“What are you going to do now?” The days in the coffin had always been calm and lonely. He didn’t expect to experience so many ups and downs in the past two days because of Kong Rui’s actions.

After sleeping for such a long time, he finally felt like a real human!

Kong Rui thought for a moment before saying, “We can’t stay here for long! They’ll find out sooner or later that someone in the residence did it, and I’ll be exposed!”

“I have to leave as soon as possible!” Kong Rui thought for a moment and summoned Little Lion. “We’ll charge into the palace today and save the little phoenix!”

Hearing that they were going to save the little phoenix, Little Lion looked excited and opened its mouth to roar.

Chao Bai smacked Little Lion on the head. “What situation is this?! Why are you trying to shout?!”

After Little Lion was smacked on the back of its head, it froze for a long time before looking at Kong Rui aggrievedly.

Kong Rui wasn’t in the mood to care about Little Lion. She thought for a moment and said, “I want to use this body to enter the palace. You…”

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Wait for me on Spirit Mountain.”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Chao Bai frowned.

He stared at Kong Rui unhappily. “I won’t be separated from you!”

Kong Rui shook her head. “You’ll be in danger if you enter the palace!”

Chao Bai immediately raised his chin. “Even the Li family’s patriarch didn’t notice my array formation just now!”

Kong Rui sighed softly. “Your array formation is indeed impressive, but the Li family’s patriarch didn’t notice you just now because he was distracted by the destruction of the ancestral hall.”

“The queen and the Li family’s patriarch are equally strong. She will definitely discover your existence soon!”

“Besides, there are hidden experts in the palace. You…” Kong Rui couldn’t help but pause.

Chao Bai was about to speak when Kong Rui said again, “I promise that I’ll definitely meet up with you on Spirit Mountain!”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Chao Bai knew that no matter how he dissuaded her, once this woman made up her mind, she definitely wouldn’t listen to him anymore.

Chao Bai nodded reluctantly. “Alright! I promise you!”

With Chao Bai’s promise, Kong Rui felt slightly more at ease.

She took out the corpses from her storage ring. “Please help me bury them! I’m afraid I won’t have enough time!”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Chao Bai was about to refuse, but then he sighed and said, “I’ll wait for you to come back and bury them!”

Kong Rui didn’t say anything else. She only thanked Chao Bai and urged him to leave first.

Something happened to the Li family’s ancestral hall just after Li Ling returned with an outsider.

It was difficult for Chao Bai not to be suspected.

Therefore, letting Chao Bai leave first was the best way to delay the Li family’s patriarch from suspecting Li Ling.

Chao Bai didn’t refuse anymore. After putting away all the corpses, he muttered a few incantations and was enveloped by a white fog.

In the next moment, Chao Bai disappeared from Kong Rui’s room.

Seeing Kong Rui frown, Little Lion couldn’t help but approach her and nudge her body with its shoulder. “Master, don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side!”

Kong Rui turned to look at Little Lion and revealed a helpless smile. “I know that you, Little Phoenix, and I will be together forever!”

After calming down, Kong Rui let Little Lion transform into the Blazing Flame Eagle again and land on her shoulder before walking out of the room.

When a servant at the door saw Kong Rui come out, he hurriedly bowed to her. “Miss Ling’er, the First Elder just instructed that no one in the residence is allowed to leave the room. Miss…”

Kong Rui frowned. If this continued, she would probably be trapped in the residence forever!

She asked the servant coldly, “What happened? Why did the First Elder make such an arrangement?”

The servant couldn’t come up with a coherent answer.

“You dare to refuse to answer my questions? I must be treating you guys too well lately!” Kong Rui immediately put on a snobby demeanor.

The servant fell to his knees with a thud and said repeatedly, “I don’t know either!”
