Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 121 Sister Xiao, what brings you here so late?

At this moment, Xiao Qingyun looked at Lu Ming with a strange expression. She had seen Lu Ming pluck a flower from the corpse of the old Xiaoyao King and then put the flower into his sleeve, as if afraid of being seen by others.

After putting the flower into his sleeve, Lu Ming raised his hand and aimed it at his father's corpse. Then he activated the Demon-Suppressing Heart Sutra, channeling his spiritual energy into the corpse. The next moment, the remaining black energy on the corpse was also cleared away.

After purifying the Yin energy, Lu Ming finally closed the stone coffin lid.

When Lu Ming turned his head, he saw Xiao Qingyun's beautiful eyes staring straight at him.

Xiao Qingyun asked curiously, "What was that just now?"

Lu Ming replied, "It's a kind of spiritual plant. I don't know who planted it on my father's corpse, but it's helpful for cultivation. I plan to take it back to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion and plant it."

"Now that the source of the black energy has been dealt with, it's time for us to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming walked towards the tomb passage. Xiao Qingyun didn't ask any more questions and followed him out of the tomb.

After the two left the tomb, Su Wanyun finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took the initiative to greet Lu Ming and looked at him with concern, saying, "Lu Ming, are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Seeing Su Wanyun staring at Lu Ming's face with concern, completely ignoring her, Xiao Qingyun felt as if her heart had been pricked by needles.

The emotions in Su Wanyun's eyes were too intense, making her increasingly suspicious that Su Wanyun's stay at the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion was not to take care of Lu Ming at all, but because she had developed feelings for Lu Ming.

It seems it's time to talk to Lu Ming again; if things continue like this, Su Wanyun will definitely fall deeper and deeper into his trap.

Looking at Su Wanyun's worried face, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sister Yun, I'm fine. I've already dealt with the source of the black energy."

Su Wanyun said, "It's good that you're alright."

At this point, Su Wanyun turned her gaze to Xiao Qingyun next to Lu Ming, "Qingyun, are you alright too?"

Xiao Qingyun said, "Yes, it's nothing."

Xiao Qingyun's tone was somewhat flat, and she seemed a little indifferent.

Although Su Wanyun showed concern for her, she always felt that Su Wanyun's tone of concern was not as strong as it was for Lu Ming; Su Wanyun's concern for her seemed more like a side effect.

Lu Ming then said to Li Yunfan, "Commander Li, send someone to tell the Zhenling Guard that the black energy issue has been resolved and let them finish up."

Although the dark energy wasn't dealt with by the Zhenling Guard, the matter was reported to them and went through the proper procedures. The procedures had to be completed, and the Zhenling Guard needed to conduct a final confirmation before the case could be filed and closed.

Li Yunfan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Ming looked at Su Wanyun and Xiao Qingyun and said, "Sister Yun, Sister Xiao, we should go back too."

The two women said in unison, "Okay."

……

night.

Mu Mansion.

Mu Yunyan was reporting the morning's events to Mu Yongfeng in the study when Mu Yongfeng frowned upon hearing that the black energy inside the tomb passage had become visible.

This black mist is probably beyond their ability to deal with; they don't even know what it is.

Mu Yongfeng asked, "How are those people who were poisoned by the black gas doing now?"

Mu Yunyan replied, "Their condition is very bad. If we don't find a way to get rid of the black energy soon, they probably won't live much longer."

After a moment of silence, Mu Yongfeng said, "I'll ask the supervisor tomorrow if he has any solutions."

No sooner had Mu Yongfeng finished speaking than a servant at the door announced, "Master, Miss, Commander Liu requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, the father and daughter were immediately curious: what was Liu Lang doing here so late?
Mu Yongfeng then said, "Bring him to the study."

"Yes, sir."

A moment later, a servant brought Liu Lang to the study.

"Greetings, Lord Mu!" Mu Yongfeng asked directly, "What brings Commander Liu here so late?"

Liu Lang replied, "Just now, someone from the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion said that the black aura inside the tomb has been resolved, and that we should finish up tomorrow."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, both Mu Yongfeng and his daughter were taken aback.

Is this solved?
They didn't even know what that black mist was, yet the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion dealt with it on its own.
How did they solve it?
Mu Yongfeng asked, "Did the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion say how they dealt with the black energy?"

Liu Lang said, "No, they just asked us to check it out, and then they can close the case."

Mu Yongfeng thought for a moment, then said, "Never mind, it's good that it's resolved. Anyway, we don't even know what that black energy is."

Mu Yongfeng never wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Now that the black energy has been resolved, they no longer need to be distracted by the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. From now on, the Zhenling Guard can focus on the case of the evil spirits that wiped out the village outside the capital.

Mu Yunyan said, "I will personally go to the Lu family's estate tomorrow to take a look."

Mu Yunyan was very curious about how the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion dealt with the black energy, especially since four of them were still unconscious due to the black energy, and the other Zhenling Guards who participated in the investigation of this incident had also inhaled some of the black energy.

The black energy inside their bodies also needs to be cleansed. Since the Prince Xiaoyao Mansion cleansed the black energy in the tomb, it means that the Prince Xiaoyao Mansion knows how to clean the black energy on their bodies.

Mu Yunyan planned to personally inquire about how to deal with the black aura of the Carefree King.

at the same time.

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

After returning from the manor, Lu Ming originally planned to plant the Blood Lotus in the courtyard. However, considering the importance of the Blood Lotus, he worried that if he planted it in the courtyard, the person who had placed the Blood Lotus seeds on his father's corpse might come to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion and steal the Blood Lotus.

Just in case, Lu Ming had no choice but to plant the Blood Lotus in the underground secret chamber of the Carefree Prince's Mansion.

Fortunately, the blood lotus naturally grows in dark places and does not need sunlight. After transplanting, it only needs spiritual energy to grow.

After planting the blood lotus, Lu Ming had just come out of the secret room entrance of the study when he heard Xiao Qingyun knocking on the door.

"Lu Ming, are you free?"

After closing the entrance to the secret room, Lu Ming sat down at the desk. "Sister Xiao, come in and talk to me."

Lu Ming had already guessed what Xiao Qingyun wanted to say; it was nothing more than something related to Su Wanyun.

Xiao Qingyun then pushed open the door and entered.

After entering the study, she closed the door herself before turning to look at Lu Ming sitting at the desk.

Lu Ming feigned curiosity and asked, "What brings you here so late, Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Qingyun hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I want to take Wanyun away from the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."

Lu Ming said, "I remember you mentioned this to me at the manor not long ago, right?"

Xiao Qingyun said, "Wanyun is unwilling to leave the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion."

Lu Ming said, "Since Sister Yun is unwilling to leave, then let her continue to stay in the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. Why is Sister Xiao insisting on making her leave?"

Xiao Qingyun said, "I..."

Xiao Qingyun hesitated, unsure of what reason to give. After a while, she continued using the same excuse, saying, "After all, we're both at the age where we should get married, so let's continue..."

Before Xiao Qingyun could finish speaking, Lu Ming suddenly interrupted her, saying, "Sister Xiao, you've already used that excuse."

"It seems you've forgotten what I told you last time."

Xiao Qingyun was startled when she sensed a sudden change in Lu Ming's aura.

Lu Ming stared into Xiao Qingyun's cold eyes and said, "I told you last time that the Spiritual Connection Technique I cultivate can sense one person's feelings for another."
