Both w.a.n.gye were long gone but from far away, ninth lord's voice carried over: "Linghu General is injured. You should nurse yourself back to health. There's no need to send us off far."
Linghu General was indeed seriously injured. Just as he was about to scold Linghu Jin Zhi, Linghu Jin Zhi already chased after Linghu Shui Yue.
"A'Cong, you follow! From now on, you and A'Liang follow eldest miss. Don't let her be bullied." Linghu General always sent people to follow eldest miss but usually, those people were ordinary family servants.
This time, he sent Lin Bao Cong and Zhang Liang Yu!
These two individuals, though they were minor family soldiers, their martial art was high leveled, definitely two of Linghu General's top-notch subordinates.
Not only were their martial arts outstanding, but they were also extremely loyal to Linghu General, as well as Linghu General's favorite students.
They left General's Manor to chase after Linghu eldest miss.
Linghu eldest miss was being chased by Linghu Jin Zhi, chased into the back gardens of General's Manor, in the direction of the lotus pond.
At first, Linghu Jin Zhi only wanted to take a look at ninth lord's jade pendant in Linghu eldest miss's hands.
However, because Linghu Shui Yue wasn't willing to show her, she was peeved and unwilling to give up so she chased after her. Can't catch up to a fool, her heart was even more unwilling.
So, after chasing into the back garden's lotus pond, seeing there weren't any people, Linghu Jin Zhi lost her temper from embarra.s.sment: "Linghu Shui Yue, if you don't obediently take out the jade pendant, we'll see how I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Hahaha! You want to teach me a lesson? Bring it on! I want to teach you a lesson too!" Linghu Shui Yue crooked her finger at Linghu Jin Zhi.
Linghu Jin Zhi felt that Linghu Shui Yue seems to have changed recently! Though she was still as crazy and stupid as she was in the past, she did seem a little different?
Where specifically was she different? She can't say. But, she noticed, no one can bully this fool recently. She'll beat people without any reason, beating people until they were searching for their teeth on the ground, while she was laughing heartily.
Today, she beat the pants off sixth lord. This was such a horrifying thing, if it fell on anyone else, not only would they be beheaded, their whole house would be exterminated.
But this mad Linghu Shui Yue remained safe and sound, even, Linghu family was fine. She looked mad, but she had taken advantage of others.
Linghu Jin Zhi found it somewhat unbelievable.
Seeing that Linghu Shui Yue was going to pa.s.s through the small curved bridge on the lotus pond, she suddenly wielded her qingqong, like a bird spreading its wings as she landed in front of Linghu Shui Yue, cutting her off.
008 She's Possessed by a Demon?
After leaving General's Manor, the ninth lord didn't chase after the sixth lord. Nor did the sixth lord stop to wait for the ninth lord.
Of ninth lord's two attendants, Lu Dong Yang took two steps and asked curiously at ninth lord: "Lord, that jade pendant is lord's treasure that follows lord everywhere. Why did lord give it to that crazy Linghu eldest miss?"
Zhu You Hong's face frosted over, his narrow eyes were like the Black Sea, no emotions can be deciphered from them. His tone was light as cold smoke: "Follow, fewer questions, observe more."
Following, ninth lord made a detour. He didn't leave General's Manor. Instead, he detoured into the mountains behind General's Manor.
The mountain behind General's Manor is also the back gardens, a plot of several hundred miles, the vibrant trees were heavily shaded, with the chirping of birds and fragrance of flowers. There was a pavilion in the middle, a lotus pond and osmanthus flowers, water flowing under the bridge, reflecting the setting sun, the scenery was infinitely beautiful.
With ninth lord and his two attendant's martial arts, to lurk in General's Manor without anyone discovering, though General's Manor was heavily guarded, they were still able to accomplish it.
Lurking in the thick leaves, Lu Dong Yang whispered: “Lord, what are we doing here?"
Ninth lord: "Don't you talk too much?"
Lu Dong Yang instantly didn't dare to utter another word.
Right at this moment, "Splas.h.!.+" a round of water splas.h.i.+ng. It was the bridge above the lotus pond in the back mountain, someone fell from the bridge into the lotus pond.
And at this moment, the crazy eldest miss Linghu Shui Yue stood atop the bridge, she was currently clapping and giggling: "Second sister, why did you jump into the lotus pond ah? Do you want to take a bath? The water in the lotus pond stinks!"
"Help…help ah!" Linghu Jin Zhi fell into the lotus pond, screaming for help.
Linghu Shui Yue stood on the small bridge clapping her hands.
On the east side of the bridge, two figures in a blink of an eye came over the water surface, their feet tapping the lotus flower, like birds landing on lotus leaves, scooping Linghu Jin Zhi out, like an eagle holding its chick in its mouth, setting her down on the small bridge.
"Is second miss alright? This officer came late, asking for forgiveness!" The two minor family soldiers, Zhang Liang Yu and Lin Bao Cong, saluted (to hold their hands in a clenched fist in front of the chest) as they apologized. The one to save second young miss was Zhang Yu Liang.
Linghu Jin Zhi's from top to bottom was drenched with stinky water. She gaped at Linghu Shui Yue who was still giggling inanely in disbelief. Her eyes seemed to have some fear. She didn't say anything, suddenly, turned around, without saying a single word, left.
Linghu Shui Yue shook her hands at Linghu Jin Zhi: "Second sister is going back to take a bath?"
Linghu Jin Zhi didn't look back. When she cut off Linghu Shui Yue, she wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the jade pendant in her hands.
The jade pendant hanging from the hilt of ninth lord Zhu You Hong's sword was taken down and given to Linghu Shui Yue, she felt it was too incredible!
But, her martial arts was decently good, sixth lord's martial arts was even more top-notch, yet they were all made a game of by Linghu Shui Yue! How was she tossed into the lotus pond by Linghu Shui Yue? She still wasn't able to figure it out, not knowing what happened. But, a kind of fear rose in her heart! As if unknowingly, that Linghu Shui Yue was possessed by a demon.
She had taken Linghu Shui Yue's pulse, wanting to see if she has learned any powerful martial arts. But she discovered, she didn't have any internal force! If this isn't ghost and demon possession, what was it?
Is Linghu Shui Yue pretending to be mad? She has peerless martial arts? This made her involuntarily s.h.i.+ver, and because of Lin Bao Cong and Zhang Liang Yu's appearance, she didn't have anything to gain.
So, she can only leave gloomily. But, a person who has been crazy for more than a decade, how can she suddenly become a master who has peerless martial arts?
Linghu Shui Yue's history of madness in Yan's capital, she Linghu Jin Zhi was a definite witness! Therefore, for her to believe Linghu Shui Yue wasn't mad, Linghu Jin Zhi found it difficult to wrap her head around it.
