Xia Ling glanced at her and did not discover anything wrong. She only asked, “Why are you picking flowers?”

Xia Yu lowered her head. “I lost my way and arrived here. I saw that these flowers were very pretty and couldn’t help but pick one. Miss Ling, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

What she said seemed reasonable.

Xia Ling sized her up again and did not see anything suspicious, so she chased her away. “Please leave. This place is not somewhere you should be. Don’t let me see you again.”

There was some ecstasy in Xia Yu’s heart. She turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait.” Xia Ling stopped her.

“What’s wrong, Miss Ling?” Xia Yu turned around.

In the moonlight, Xia Ling pointed at the flower in her hand. “Leave that.”

Xia Yu’s expression changed slightly, but she concealed it instantly after. Pitifully, she said, “Miss Ling, this is only a wildflower. Why can’t you let me go?”

Xia Ling sneered. “I don’t want to let you go. So what about it? Leave it behind.” She still felt that something was wrong. Although she couldn’t tell what the problem was, she couldn’t let Xia Yu take advantage of the situation. Thus, she wasn’t willing to let Xia Yu go with that flower at all.

Xia Yu slightly bit her lip.

Xia Ling urged her. “What’s wrong? You can’t bear to leave this flower?”

Xia Yu was afraid that she could see through her scheme, so she quickly let go of the flower and it was blown away into the trees by the night wind.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only then did Xia Ling allow her to leave. After looking at her back view, she returned to her room to continue sleeping.

Stumbling, Xia Yu went back to the simple raft shed in Xia Shujuan’s backyard, closed the doors and windows, and returned to her bed. She quickly rolled up her leaves and saw three silky white flowers lying quietly underneath her sleeve. The flowers that were almost in full bloom looked transparent in the pale moonlight.

“Thank heavens.” Xia Yu murmured. She looked for a box and placed the flowers in it carefully.

This was the type of flower Wei Lingnan was looking for.

Fortunately, Xia Ling came late. At that time, Xia Yu already found a few of the flowers. She intended to find a few more to make Wei Lingnan a little happier and satisfy a few more of her wishes, but unfortunately, she could only bring back three. What could three flowers be exchanged for?

Xia Yu was deep in thought…

After a few days, with Xia Shujuan’s help, she escaped the Xia Clan’s territory.

As she said, Xia Shujuan was a pig brain but she was not. Combining the information Xia Shujuan gave her about the family and contacting Auntie Liu who had always been in contact with Xia Shujuan, she asked about how Auntie Liu entered the premises in great detail and learned about the tactical formation.

Perhaps she was lucky. Over the years, no one in the clan had ever tried to escape to the outside world and the internal defense was very weak. In addition, the Li Family visited frequently, so to facilitate their access, the tactical formation in the mountains did not change. Based on Auntie Liu’s recount and her own memory, she actually escaped the place.

She was finally out!

Looking up at the clear sky outside, her heart was filled with joy.

She definitely did not want to copy the scriptures in that remove mountain village for her entire life until she died! She was still young and had an entire life ahead of her! She had to live amazingly and better than Xia Ling!

Taking a deep breath, she went to the place Wei Lingnan told her to meet him at.

In a quiet room.

Wei Lingnan took the box she handed over. When he opened it, he saw the three small white flowers lying quietly inside and at once, his unsmiling face looked a little relaxed. He carefully took out the flowers with tweezers made of special metal like they were rare treasures and packed them into sealed boxes that were filled with crushed ice.

“This is the antidote.” He gave Xia Yu what she wanted.

“Thank you, Mr. Wei!” Xia Yu quickly took it. Then, she looked at him nervously and trembled as she asked for a request. “For these few flowers, I fled the Xia Family. If they catch me, I will die! Mr. Wei, can you save me? I don’t want to go back and die!”

Wei Lingnan looked at her and said, “This is simple. If you return to the biochemical lab of the Wei Family, they won’t touch you.”

Thinking of that dark biochemical lab with strange experiments, Xia Yu couldn’t help but shudder. If she had to go back there, she would rather copy scriptures in the Xia Family! “I beg you.” Xia Yu knelt and looked up. “I only want to continue life as an ordinary person. I don’t care about those dark secrets surrounding the Wei Family or Xia Family! Mr. Wei, since you’ve done so many experiments on me and I also found those three flowers for you, please give me a way to live! I know that you’re extraordinary and in this world, only you can deal with the Xia Family! I beg you! I beg you!”

She kowtowed relentlessly. Soon, the blood on her forehead stained the floor.

Wei Lingnan looked at her emotionlessly and seemed to murmur to himself. “Am I the only person that can deal with the Xia Family? Based on your knowledge of this, I should destroy you.”

Xia Yu was scared speechless and started to kowtow with more effort.

She did not think that she would be murdered after she gave him the flowers. However, given this pressing situation, she had to take a risk. In the face of a monster like Wei Lingnan, she did not have any intention of rebuking at all!

In the secret room, Wei Lingnan looked handsome. The light shined on the girl who was kowtowing relentlessly. He looked like her as if he were looking at a lowly ant. “You’re quite lucky.” After a second, he finally spoke. “I can’t openly kill people in your world, this damned…”

His voice trailed off and he said his last few words in a low voice. It was a strange language like a myriad of sounds and seemed like the roaring of beasts in the wind.

Xia Yu did not understand it and did not dare to understand it.

She knelt lowly by his feet and only pleaded for a chance to leave this room alive.

Wei Lingnan walked to the window and looked out. The streets were bustling and the crowd was busy. People were as tiny as ants. With a deep expression, he spoke, “You can leave now.”

“Mr. Wei?” Xia Yu lifted her head and carefully looked at him with confusion. “Are you agreeing to help me deal with the Xia Family?”

“Get lost.” He seemed to be in a foul mood.

Xia Yu did not dare to ask more questions. She felt a horrible chill down her spine again and remembered how scary this monster in front of her was, so she quickly stumbled out of the room.

Wei Lingnan did not stop her.

“You’re very lucky.” He continued to look at the traffic and mumbled. “Just like the Xia Family, I can’t leave too many traces in this world. Since you entered the Xia Family because of me, I will help eliminate the subsequent effects for you.”
