47. The Scamming Duo
Early in the morning, a certain silver-haired, red-eyed woman stretched lazily and let out a huge yawn.
“Hah—”
She didn’t know what happened yesterday. Anyway, she had fallen asleep in a daze, and her brain was still a mess.
But it didn’t matter. For her, every day was just eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping. Although finding the enemy who had wrecked her home was a very important matter, she had no clue on her own, so she might as well leave it to others.
“Mmm—ha!”
When her vision cleared, Xuan Lingling looked around and felt that this place… seemed very strange.
Strange, what was this place? It wasn’t where she originally lived.
Did she go somewhere yesterday… yesterday… yesterday… ah!
Actually, this Xuan Lingling didn’t have the memory of a fish.
She quickly remembered that last night, she hadn’t gone back peacefully, but had passed by a pharmacy with a particularly fragrant smell.
This smell was not the smell of medicine, but the smell of delicious food.
Then, she slipped in through the window and met a collaborator she had met a long time ago at Qian Yue Academy, and received a good reception from them.
And then… and then… she actually had no memory of what happened next. What was going on?
And just then, the door was opened, and Gong Yiling, who walked into the room, raised an eyebrow very calmly. “Hey, you’re awake?”
Faced with the greeting of such a cute little girl, even though she knew the other party’s identity, Xuan Lingling just nodded blankly.
“I am…?”
“Yesterday, after you stayed with us to eat fruit, you drank some fruit wine, and then you fell asleep. I thought your alcohol tolerance was quite good.”
Gong Yiling placed a bowl of hangover tea beside Xuan Lingling and said, “I didn’t expect you to fall so easily.”
“Eh!?”
Did she drink yesterday?
Her memory was only up to eating fruit, but how could she get dizzy from eating fruit? And these two were former collaborators. What they said must be right.
Then it should be… mmm, a blackout?
And you had to say, her head was indeed a bit dizzy now, and a little bit painful. This feeling was quite similar to a hangover.
“Your human wine is different from our wine. If I drank my family’s wine, I could definitely drink you all under the table.” Xuan Lingling, after downing the hangover tea, said very confidently, “After I get rid of my enemy, I’ll take you to my place to play.”
This silly dragon’s home, it couldn’t be the Illusory Sea, right?
Although she was indeed curious about this kind of place, but the Illusory Sea… she’d better forget it.
“Next time for sure, ahahaha, next time for sure.”
“I just don’t know when I’ll be able to find that person—ah!”
At this point, Xuan Lingling suddenly thought of something very serious.
That’s right, from the time she left the stronghold until now, she seemed to have been away for more than four or five hours.
Originally, she just wanted to sneak out for a breath of fresh air and find something to eat while everyone was gone.
But being out for so long and not sending back any news, those people would definitely go out to look for her.
And if she went back, she would inevitably be scolded, and it wouldn’t be easy to come out again next time.
“Damn it! Old Yin’s side—”
“Don’t worry.” Gong Yiling smiled and said, “Old Yin’s side, Chuyue already went to talk to him last night. He also agreed to let you stay with us for one night. Chuyue just went to find them again to confirm what we’re still doing in this city.”
“Oh, that’s good. Let’s go over later. We can all act together.”
“Mmm.”
The rest of the conversation was very natural. The two of them chatted idly about the Divine King’s Court and the only clue about that house-wrecker—that person had blown up her house from a long distance.
After finishing breakfast, just as they were about to go out, Yan Chuyue suddenly rushed in from the door and then turned around and closed the door.
“What’s wrong with you?” Gong Yiling and Xuan Lingling were both bewildered.
“Something’s happened.” Yan Chuyue said seriously, “I was going to find Old Yin to ask what to do next, but when I got there, I found out.”
“That place has been surrounded.”
“Surrounded?” Gong Yiling asked, puzzled. “Could it be that they’ve been discovered?”
The things the Divine King’s Court had done in Qian Yue Academy had almost ruined its reputation and had also awakened many people’s vigilance against the Mingjue Sect.
And the last so-called purge, any normal person would not think that they had wiped them all out.
If the whereabouts of the Divine King’s Court were discovered in other places, the scattered disciples of the Hundred Paths Mountain and the various righteous sects would surely attack them.
It didn’t matter if they could win or not. This was a matter of face. Anyway, there were many people. Just go up and block them.
“I met the person who received me yesterday on my way back. They have now broken up into smaller groups and are looking for a new stronghold. They told us to hide with Miss Xuan and act according to the situation.”
These words, there was definitely nothing wrong with them, and it was true.
Last night, after they had drugged Xuan Lingling, Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue had worked overnight to send several letters to the famous and prestigious families in the city, and had also posted various notes in the places where the disciples of the Hundred Paths Mountain liked to go for training.
The content was all about the appearance of the Divine King’s Court, that is, the Mingjue Sect, here, and the specific location was also attached.
It just so happened that that place was covered by Xuan Lingling’s spiritual art, which further confirmed the fact that someone was hiding here.
So now, the Divine King’s Court itself was probably overwhelmed by this sudden mess. They probably never dreamed that their location was so secret, and who had leaked it.
The only possibility was probably this Lord who had not returned all night, but this Lord was tricked by them. How would she know how to be a traitor?
In summary, Xuan Lingling had nowhere to go now if she didn’t go with them. On the contrary, if she went with them, the food would be much better than before.
“Then I’ll just hang out with you for now.” The very sensible silly dragon didn’t care at all if her previous teammates had encountered trouble and said very heartlessly, “Old Yin never asked me to do anything else. It’s the same with or without me.”
“But this time it’s different.” Yan Chuyue, after exchanging a glance with Gong Yiling, suddenly said, “Old Yin left you a task.”
“A task?”
