Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

Chapter 117: Watched!

Thinking of Li Ling’s disappearance, the Li family’s patriarch felt vexed.

Li Ling’s disappearance was too fishy and something happened in the Li family’s home at the same time.

The Li family’s patriarch originally suspected that someone had kidnapped Li Ling after doing these things, but until now, he had not received any news of anyone blackmailing the Li family.

Not only that, but there was also news that Li Ling had disappeared after entering the palace!

Now, the Princess was injured and Li Ling was missing. These things happened too closely. It was difficult not to link these things together!

The more the Li family’s patriarch thought about it, the more vexed he felt. Even worse, Yin Ling just had to come to the Li family to cause trouble at this time!

After a few perfunctory exchanges, the First Elder saw that the Li family’s patriarch’s expression wasn’t pleasant, so he led Yin Ling back to the guest room to rest.

Although Yin Ling looked like he had accepted a mission and couldn’t rest, seeing that the Li family’s patriarch had no intention of saying anything to him, he decided to secretly investigate the secret the Li family wanted to hide.

Yin Ling was arranged to stay in the courtyard furthest from the ancestral hall. Although they said that it was to ensure that no one disturbed him, it was only to prevent Yin Ling from interfering in the Li family’s matters.

How could Yin Ling not understand what the Li family meant? However, he didn’t make a fuss.

Kong Rui sneakily approached the Li family’s residence. In order to avoid being discovered, she held up the Yin-Yang Umbrella and chose a quiet spot to jump in.

Over the past few days in the Li family’s home, Kong Rui had already figured out the terrain of the Li family.

There was usually no one in this courtyard, so it was a good place to sneak into the Li family’s home from.

However, Kong Rui didn’t expect to see the First Elder leading Yin Ling over as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Kong Rui was shocked and held her breath without daring to move.

Although her current cultivation level had already reached the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm and was comparable to Yin Ling’s, she was still much inferior to the First Elder.

Although Kong Rui was covered by the Yin-Yang Umbrella, she couldn’t guarantee that the First Elder wouldn’t notice her.

Just as Kong Rui was thinking about how to avoid the First Elder’s detection, she felt a faint golden halo suddenly appear under her feet.

The halo flashed and in the next moment, Kong Rui heard Chao Bai’s voice in her ear. “I’ll see if you still dare to ditch me and do things alone next time!”

Upon hearing Chao Bai’s voice, Kong Rui instantly felt at ease.

It seemed that Chao Bai had cast a spell on her to hide her whereabouts.

As expected, when the First Elder led Yin Ling into the courtyard, he didn’t notice anything amiss.

Kong Rui watched Yin Ling enter the room with a displeased expression. The First Elder stayed in the room for a while before leaving.

After leaving the courtyard, the First Elder said to the disciple who had followed him, “Keep an eye on him! Don’t let him run around!”

The disciple immediately obliged and bowed as the First Elder left.

Kong Rui glanced at Yin Ling, who was pondering over something in the room, and pursed her lips. “It seems that the queen is also afraid of the Li family. The Li family must be hiding something that can threaten the queen’s status!”

Thinking of this, Kong Rui became even more curious about the Li family’s secret.

When she destroyed the Li family’s ancestral hall last time, Kong Rui had no chance to find the whereabouts of the Li family’s secret technique. However, according to Chao Bai, the secret technique was probably hidden in an even more secret place by the Li family’s patriarch.

Kong Rui had to take the risk again and find that secret technique. Only then could she completely take back her phoenix essence and phoenix bone!

The reason Kong Rui spared Wen Qiong’s life was to let her experience the feeling of having her phoenix bone shaved off!

Ever since the little phoenix returned to Kong Rui’s side, she could already feel the phoenix essence in her body gradually regenerating.

It seemed that in time, the phoenix essence in her body would definitely recover completely. However, she had to get the phoenix bone back from Wen Qiong!
