Chapter 1978 Kidnapping a Little Ghost

"Going to Yunnan is not out of the question."

Yin Changxing pondered for a moment, "I've heard that Yunbei is actually a place that produces geniuses in metaphysics. Let's go there and see if we can recruit new members."

Weng Songzhi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard him say that.

"Does Senior Brother mean we should treat this as a formal recruitment trip for our First Profound Sect?"

On official business.

"Why not?"

Then they started talking about these things.

Lu Zhaoling was eventually sidelined from the conversation.

"Go eat your food." Yin Changxing rolled his eyes at her, clearly annoyed.

Lu Zhaoling snorted and stepped back. After finishing her food, she saw Madam Sheng waving at her from outside.

Oh, by the way, Granny Sheng is back from her errand, but I haven't asked her about the results yet.

But since everyone here is someone she knows, she doesn't dare to come in.

Or is there something she can't say in front of her master and uncle?

Seeing that her master and the others were discussing, Lu Zhaoling stood up and walked outside.

Madam Sheng stepped aside and beckoned to her, "Master, come on, let's talk somewhere else."

Lu Zhaoling walked over. "Grandma, why are you being so mysterious?"

"You went to the Lu family's countryside? Did you run into Zong Bie? How's the investigation going? What did the Lu family do after they went back?"

If she hadn't suffered the backlash before, she would have asked Sheng San Niangzi long ago.

Madam Sheng pulled her behind a tree. Although people from the Prince's mansion would definitely be able to see them standing there, Madam Sheng probably felt that being under the tree provided a sense of privacy.

"Master, are you alright?"

Instead of answering Lu Zhaoling's question, Madam Sheng asked her first, "Wouldn't you say that Xiao Han indirectly caused your trouble this time?"

Lu Zhaoling was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"

“I asked her, and she herself felt very guilty, saying that she asked you to see how long Young Master Qian Ding could live.”

Sheng San Niangzi looked guilty.

"If she hadn't told you this and shown you Qian Ding's fate, you wouldn't have suffered the backlash."

"But, Master, I've already scolded Xiao Han, and she feels really guilty. She was thinking of coming to apologize to you in person when you're feeling better. Could you forgive her this once? Could you talk to the Prince and ask him not to pursue the matter?"

As she spoke, Madam Sheng reached out and tugged at Lu Zhaoling's sleeve, shaking it gently. Her bright eyes blinked at her earnestly, pleading with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

"Is it alright? Master, please, I beg you. Xiao Han is, after all, a junior member of our Sheng family, and usually a very cute girl. This time, she's just too naive and kind-hearted, wanting to know if that Young Master Qian Ding can live any longer. Plus, she always boasts to him that there's nothing he can't do, so that's why she made this request..."

"Master, you're the best! Please forgive her this time... Master..."

Sheng San Niangzi dragged out the last syllable for a very long time.

Lu Zhaoling shuddered.

She pulled out her sleeve and glared at Sheng San Niangzi.

"Grandma! Speak properly. I'm decades younger than you. Why are you acting like a child towards me?"

This is giving me goosebumps.

However, Lu Zhaoling finally understood why Madam Sheng had asked her to come outside to talk. It turned out that she was afraid that people from her sect would take their anger out on Sheng Xiaohan and want to settle scores with her.

After all, her master and the others were very protective of her. This left Madam Sheng momentarily at a loss, unsure whether they would reprimand Sheng Xiaohan harshly because of Lu Zhaoling's injury.

"I didn't blame Xiaohan."

Upon hearing that she didn't blame Sheng Xiaohan, Sheng San Niangzi immediately perked up.

His eyes stopped blinking, and his tone of voice returned to normal.

“Oh, Master, I just remembered something these past few days. You’ve lived through three lifetimes, and you were the senior sister of the First Mystic Sect back then. I wasn’t even born when the First Mystic Sect was established, so I might not actually be decades older than you.”

what? !

Lu Zhaoling stared wide-eyed at Sheng San Niangzi in disbelief.

No, there's such an algorithm?

"Anyway, I respect you as a very great master, not as a young girl."

As she spoke, Madam Sheng twisted her waist, raised her hand to casually tidy her hair, and even raised her little finger, looking incredibly charming.

Seeing her behavior, Lu Zhaoling felt an itch in her teeth and reached out to slap her buttocks.

"Get to the point!"

With a snap, Madam Sheng jumped up.

"Master, you're being too unconventional!"

How could you pat her butt?

Under Lu Zhaoling's threatening gaze, Madam Sheng quickly got down to business.

“Master, as you requested, I first went to the mountains and villages on the other side of the Hui River before I left.”

Sheng San Niangzi said, "Didn't you say there was a young male ghost there called Young Master Yu? But I went there and didn't find him. He wasn't in the village either. The village was quite peaceful."

“But I met another ghost in the mountains. She told me that Young Master Yu had disappeared and took me to Young Master Yu’s grave. I looked at the grave and it seemed like it had been dug up.”

"You dug up a grave?"

Lu Zhaoling was stunned for a moment.

If something happens to the Yu family, then Young Master Yu will also disappear.

She immediately thought of Yu Xu.

After Consort Yu and the Yu family got into trouble, the Yu family was surrounded, but Zhou Shiyue said that Yu Xu had disappeared.

Lu Zhaoling instructed him to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Xiangjun, since Yu Xu and Miss Shen were already bound by fate, and Yu Xu was unlikely to give up on Shen Xiangjun.

However, Qingxiao had also told her that Shen Xiangjun had been busy lately trying to get Prime Minister Shen out of trouble, asking people everywhere to help her.

Shen Xiangjun probably realized that it was useless to be at odds with her father, because as long as her father was still the high and mighty Prime Minister, she was the true Miss Shen of the capital.

Yu Xu left, but Shen Xiangjun didn't react at all?

Is there going to be some twists and turns in their marriage?

"I couldn't find Young Master Yu there, so I went to Old Lu's old home in the countryside."

Sheng San Niangzi continued, "I didn't encounter Zong Bie either! However, that drowned ghost Zong Bie has become clever; he actually bribed a little ghost there with a stick of soul-stabilizing incense."

Lu Zhaoling exclaimed "Ah!" and then Madam Sheng chuckled and said, "That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking now, using the soul-stabilizing incense you gave me."

“I was afraid I wouldn’t explain it clearly, so I brought that kid here directly so he could tell you.”

As she spoke, Sheng San Niang took out her precious handheld mirror and looked at Lu Zhaoling, "Well, shall we release him now?"

Lu Zhaoling: "......"

She was somewhat convinced.

"Did you kidnap the little devil by force?" she asked.
