Along the way, Leng Ling Shuang rode alongside Yu Qing Qian and Yun Si Ting, chatting with them from time to time.
Many of the questions seemed to be unintentional, but most of them were tests. If Yu Qing Qian was really only a teenage girl, she would’ve been tricked by her words already.
Leng Ling Shuang was beautiful to begin with, coupled with her gentle and easy-going temperament, it made others feel easy to get along with her. Yue Yun Yang and the others even joked with her from time to time, and they got along more harmoniously.
After arriving at the barren mountain, the group stopped to rest.
Yu Qing Qian and Yun Si Ting went to find water together, while Leng Ling Shuang was asked by Chi Mo Ran to go find some wild fruits with Chi Xuan.
After the two found a creek, Yun Si Ting looked around and whispered: “Qing Qian, be careful about Leng Ling Shuang.”
Yu Qing Qian squatted down to fill the water bag, then turned her head and asked with a smile: “You don’t like her?”
“Mm, a woman’s intuition. She’s very scheming. I constantly feel that she was a little deliberate in approaching you along the way.” Yun Si Ting replied.
Although Yun Si Ting was born to a large clan, but she had shouldered the important responsibilities of the clan since she was a child. She was more thoughtful and mature than Yue Yun Yang and the others.
Leng Ling Shuang did seem to be gentle and easy-going, but she felt that this was just a means of networking and communicating.
Just like among the Chi Clan, only Leng Ling Shuang had integrated into their team. Although the friendship was shallow, but other people’s affection for her was obviously growing.
Of course, these other people didn’t include Feng Chen and Huo Li Ruo. Those two had always been very cold towards Leng Ling Shuang.
Yu Qing Qian nodded: “I don’t like her either. She’s been trying to trick information out of me. Maybe it’s because I cured Young Lord Lu, so she approached deliberately.”
“We should all be wary of the Chi Clan after entering the ancient tomb. After all, we’re not familiar with them.” Yun Si Ting, who was more cautious in everything she did, reminded.
“Sure!” Yu Qing Qian stood up and nodded with a smile.
Chi Mo Ran and Chi Mo Huan went hunting. On the way back, Chi Mo Huan said: “Brother, isn’t Leng Ling Shuang too enthusiastic towards Yu Qing Qian?”
Growing up, both brothers disliked Leng Ling Shuang, especially Chi Mo Huan.
“She’s too scheming.” There was a hint of coldness in Chi Mo Ran’s deep eyes.
Leng Ling Shuang was constantly testing Yu Qing Qian, which made him very disgusted.
Chi Mo Huan pursed his lips: “She really thinks she’s the legitimate daughter of the Chi Clan, what the heck.”
Leng Ling Shuang fawned over the seniors at home, treated others gently among her peers, and was very popular. She also showed kindness and magnanimity in dealing with Chi Mo Huan’s constant nitpicking, which made many people secretly say that Chi Mo Huan was too domineering.
The more Leng Ling Shuang tolerated him, the more Chi Mo Huan disliked her. Unfortunately, he couldn’t drive her away.
Looking up and seeing the coldness on Chi Mo Ran’s face, Chi Mo Huan was stunned and hurriedly explained: “Brother, I just don’t like Leng Ling Shuang, but I’ve no intention of targeting First Mother or the Leng Clan.”
Chi Mo Ran knew that Chi Mo Huan had misunderstood him and said with a hint of ridicule: “Leng Ling Shuang’s not the legitimate daughter of the Chi Clan to begin with, my mum can raise her however she pleases, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Chi Mo Ran was relatively tolerant and doting towards this younger brother.
He suddenly thought of Yu Qing Qian, and his eyes darkened with also a hint of helplessness and firmness.
Chi Mo Huang knew that the relationship between his eldest brother and his first mother was relatively cold, so he thought about it and changed the subject, saying: “I wonder what Leng Ling Shuang’s going to do this time. She even made a prophecy that we could obtain the Seven-Coloured Sacred Tree from the ancient tomb, I wonder if it’s true or not.��
“Even if the things Leng Ling Shuang predicted have deviated slightly, but they all became true, so don’t underestimate her.”
Chi Mo Ran paused, then said: “She’s already valued by the Holy Academy, you better not be outdone by her.”
“I’ll definitely be able to enter the Holy Academy too.” Chi Mo Huan clenched his fists—as if he’d be outdone by that annoying woman.
