“I don’t need an earth grade spiritual artifact at all. How could the young master of the Hong Manor have nothing valuable?” Ye Lingyue sniffed.

After Ye Lingyue finished saying, Hong Yulang’s face suddenly turned all pale.

He nearly forgot that Ye Lingyue had acquired the sky grade spiritual artifact of Spatical Piercing Bow. In this case, how could she want an earth grade spiritual artifact?

Zhuge Yi was also speechless. The earth grade spiritual artifacts were the best in all the weapons he had made.

“There is nothing left in the Hong Manor. All was taken away by the court in the confiscation.” Hong Yulang did go back to the Hong Manor after fleeing from prison.

The vast manor had already been cleared of everything.

“Wait. There is something you might be interested in.” At this critical moment, Hong Yulang took out a small thing from his arms. It was something like a piece of wood carving.

The small thing was found by Hong Yulang in the small courtyard where his grandpa Hong Qingyun had been training long when he sneaked into the Hong Manor .

The courtyard was quite remote and looked like the dwelling place of servants. Hence, Lan Yingwu and his followers did not check it throughly in the confiscation.

The reason why Hong Yulang paid great attention to the thing was as follows. When he was young, he sneaked into Hong Qingyun’s room once. He saw the wood carving and found it quite interesting. Then he was caught playing with the carving by Hong Qingyun. As a result, he was punished and had to kneel in the ancestral hall for three whole days.

It was not until he fainted due to starvation that his crying mother took him out.

After getting the wood carving, Hong Yulang asked several pawnshops in the city about its origin. Unfortunately, no one could give a clear answer.

Hong Yulang was reluctant to throw it away. Then he took it with him all the time.

Today, if it had not been for Ye Lingyue’s blackmailing, he would not think of it.

Ye Lingyue’s eyelids shook slightly when she saw the wood carving.

The wood carving was extraordinary. She tried to keep calm and looked at the carving in a seemingly casual manner.

“How could you take out such a shabby thing? The thing is valueless. I will give you two pills only if you give me the shabby thing plus your earth grade spiritual artifact.” Ye Lingyue said casually as if she did not mind whether Hong Yulang did as she told him to.

Hong Yulang clenched his teeth and threw to Ye Lingyue the wood carving, earth grade spiritual artifact and his card of credits.

Only then did Ye Lingyue pass them two pills.

“After you take the pills, you cannot gather your power within one hour. But you can rest assured that the hallucination created by my ghost smoke can last for more than an hour.” Ye Lingyue left Long Baobao to Steward Huang.

“Sister Black, where are you going?” Long Baobao did not speak a word after he was saved by Ye Lingyue. It seemed that he was a little angry with Ye Lingyue.

But he could not help asking when seeing her leaving.

“My friends are still out there and I need to help them. Little Longbao, please remember that a friend in need in a friend indeed.” Ye Lingyue took a look at Long Baobao. She was a bit guilty when facing Long Baobao.

She took advantage of Long Baobao’s sympathy in order to get the cards of credits. He could have avoided such a bloody and cruel night.

But Ye Lingyue did not regret having done this, since what Long Baobao would face in the future was much crueler than what happened tonight.

Long Baobao could only understand part of Ye Lingyue’s meaning. He could only see Ye Lingyue disappearing at the other end of Xianluo Ghost Smoke.

“Grandpa Huang, is Baobao quite useless?” Long Baobao was on the verge of crying.

His grandpa told him that boys needed to protect girls.

But it was Sister Black Moon that had been protecting him all the time.

Just now, he felt bad about Sister Black Moon taking advantage of him. But he still liked her a lot.

“Young master, you are still young. Black Moon is a smart girl. Maybe she could help us solve the big crisis for the Long Family.” Steward Huang had been silently watching what Ye Lingyue said and did.

He could never expect that this seemingly ordinary girl had such extraordinary tricks.

Maybe the young master could take back what belonged to him with the help of Black Moon.

After Ye Lingyue got out of the ghost smoke, she found as expected that the assassins earlier had all disappeared.

She immediately took out the wood carving Hong Yulang had given to her.

It was a piece of black and purple wood carving which looked exactly the same as sandalwood.

Since a long time had passed, it looked rather shabby. It was like a cloud or a flame.

Ye Lingyue had a try with the Star Yan Knife. The sharp knife which could easily cut off iron scraped across the surface but there was not even a mark left.

Then Ye Lingyue put her spiritual energy into the wood carving but there was no reaction.

Maybe the wood carving was just the ordinary one and her earlier guess was wrong?

Ye Lingyue was a little disappointed. Then an idea came up and she put into the wood carving the Star Energy that had been created inside the body not long ago.

The moment the Star Energy entered the wood carving, Ye Lingyue felt the carving in hand burning.

What was this?

Ye Lingyue was overjoyed. There was a stream of scary power like that of volcanic eruption inside the wood carving.

The feeling was quite similar to that when she acquired the spirit of the water and the wood.

Surprisingly, the wood carving contained enormous power of the spirit of the fire.

Earlier, when Ye Lingyue tamed the jade rabbit piebald and found it had weak power of the spirit of the fire, she had guessed there might be the spirit of the fire in the Hong Manor.

Right before Ye Lingyue was about to check further what was inside the wood carving, Little Squeak in her arms suddenly showed its teeth to the west.

“As expected, you are not trapped. If my guess is right, you are the head of the assassins this time.” Ye Lingyue slowly moved her eyes and saw the boy walking out.

“You have sharp eyes but bad luck since your rival is me.” The boy smiled and showed his terribly white teeth.

Maybe he had guessed it wrong. According to the earlier information, the most powerful people in Disha and Drinking Blood were the captains and vice-captains.

That was why he had assigned most of the assassins to fight with those people. He could never expect to meet such a worthy female soldier halfway.

With these words, the boy changed his figure. His clothes were torn apart and he grew into a man as tall as two meters from a little boy who could only reach Ye Lingyue’s waist.

This man had used the bone-contracting skill to turn himself into a little boy.

After his figure changed, his power was also enhanced dramatically.

Colorful streams of reincarnation power of water, wood, gold and fire surrounded him like four spiritual snakes.

“The fourth realm of reincarnation?”

Ye Lingyue had guessed quite early that the head of assassins possessed enormous power. But she could hardly expect that her rival was a powerful man in the fourth realm of reincarnation.
