Chapter 57 Luo Lingling

Stepping into the gate of the flower house, there is a strong scent of grass and trees blowing over.

Everywhere you look, there are blooming flowers and all kinds of strange herbs. There is even a row of fruit trees in the corner with unknown fruits of various colors hanging on them.

It's like a small botanical garden.

The black suit led the way, leading Zhao Dong and Duan Muqing through a long corridor to an open gate.

It was obviously a place for entertaining guests. There were tables, chairs, sofas, and various potted plants. On one of the small tables, there were also tools such as garden hoes and shovels, stained with fresh soil.

A tall girl was standing in front of the half-person-high flower stand, trimming the branches and leaves of the potted plants.

The man in the black suit brought the person over, called the eldest lady, and then bowed and retreated.

The tall slender girl put down the tool in her hand and turned around.

She was wearing a set of light-colored casual clothes, with long hair hanging down, and a beautiful appearance. Standing in the sun, it seemed that the whole room was a little brighter.

"You two, please take a seat." The tall girl's voice was clear and she made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.

This style is not right.

Zhao Dong and Duan Muqing looked at each other, feeling a little confused.

Ordinarily, the other party put on such a big battle, chased for nine streets, blocked the door and let go, this matter must not be good.

Especially Duan Muqing, he has not forgotten the circumstances under which he was discovered by the other party.

He thought that entering this manor this time, there must be a tough battle to fight, but the attitude of the other party was far beyond his expectations, it was a 180-degree turn.

The tall girl didn't seem to notice the little moves between the two. She picked up a towel and wiped the dirt off her hands, then sat down on a single sofa.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine the other party bought in the gourd, but she is such a generous girl, Zhao Dong and Duan Muqing naturally couldn't lose their cards, and immediately sat down on the opposite sofa and put on a pair of Gentleman's style.

"My name is Luo Lingling." The tall girl was obviously not in the mood for small talk and went straight to the point. "I invite you two to do something for me."

"Help you with something? What a big tone." Duan Muqing stared, "Why?"

"I can save the little red bird's life." Luo Lingling said simply.

Upon hearing this, Duan Muqing immediately lost his temper.

There is no other way. Xiaohong is his lifeblood. Although he can ask for help from home, firstly, water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Secondly, he ran away secretly. Once his whereabouts are revealed, he will definitely be caught immediately. Go back and never leave again in this life.

When Duan Muqing thought about what would happen to him after returning home, he couldn't help but tremble, feeling cold from head to toe.

He didn't make a statement, so Zhao Dong naturally had nothing to say, he could only sit by the side, quietly acting like a statue.

As for Luo Lingling, she only regarded Zhao Dong as a foil, her attention was focused on Duan Muqing from the very beginning.

Duan Muqing didn't know that in the suburbs that day, there was another person besides him who witnessed the whole process of Xiaohong's awakening.

That person was Luo Lingling who was sitting opposite him at this time.

Half a month ago, Uncle Wu, the old housekeeper of the manor, died unexpectedly.

It was just an ordinary outing, but the person never came back. Luo Lingling sent people to look for him, but the news of Uncle Wu's death came.

The corpse was found in the suburbs. When it was found, it was already dilapidated, as if it had been bitten by some kind of animal. It was bloody and inhumane.

Luo Lingling has been living alone in the manor since her mother passed away when she was five years old. Uncle Wu is the closest person to her in the world.

No one knew what happened, and Uncle Wu's death was ruled an accident.

In response to this incident of a fatal attack by a strange beast, the official organized a small-scale cleanup to expel the strange beasts around Qingquan Town in order to calm the panic of the residents of the town.

Uncle Wu had no relatives. Except for Luo Lingling, no one felt sorry for him. No one wanted to know the truth, and no one wanted to avenge him, so Luo Lingling decided to take matters into her own hands.

However, this is easier said than done.

Luo Lingling's life seems to be glamorous, but in fact she has been marginalized by the family for a long time. She bears the name of a young lady, and even the bodyguards in the manor are not allowed to call at will. People who really listen to her, except for Uncle Wu, a nothing.

Although she has special abilities, her strength is really average and she has no experience to speak of. It is simply impossible to find the strange beast that killed Uncle Wu and avenge him with only one person's strength.

But Luo Lingling is a person who doesn't make up her mind easily, once she wants to do something, even if her head is smashed against the south wall, she will never give up.

Duan Muqing led Xiaohong into the woods to study, Luo Lingling had been there alone for two days, using her own methods to search for the trace of the strange beast, but accidentally witnessed the whole process of Xiaohong's awakening.

Although it was just an empty name, Luo Lingling still had enough knowledge. When she discovered that it turned out to be a strange beast with Phoenix bloodline, she immediately guessed Duan Muqing's identity.

Shocked, Luo Lingling also rejoiced at her good luck. She was in need of help, and there was a powerful helper in front of her. Naturally, she couldn't miss this opportunity.

So on the one hand, she sent people to secretly inquire about Duan Muqing's movements in the town. On the other hand, she used some tricks to lure Xiaohong to the manor, and then waited for Duan Muqing to come.

However, she didn't expect Duan Muqing to come so quickly, which caused a slight deviation in the plan. Fortunately, it did not affect the overall situation. If used properly, it could be used as a bargaining chip, so that Duan Muqing had to help.

Duan Muqing was naturally ignorant of these inside stories. Even until now, he only thought that everything was just an accident, and did not realize at all that he had fallen into a big trap.

Although Duan Muqing was designed to ask him to help, Luo Lingling did not dare to offend the person too severely. After all, the other person's status was extraordinary. She just wanted to avenge Uncle Wu and did not want to make a big enemy.

Seeing that Duan Muqing was silent and her face was still changing, Luo Lingling feared that things might change, so she immediately placed another bargaining chip of her own.

"I won't let you work for nothing." Luo Lingling looked at Duan Muqing and said, "As you can see, there are many rare flowers and plants here, I can give you all of them, including pansies."

Upon hearing the word pansy, Zhao Dong frowned slightly, Duan Muqing also raised his head, and said in surprise, "How do you know I'm looking for pansy?"

Of course Luo Lingling would not say that she had been to the hotel where Duan Muqing was staying, and she got the news from the waiter, she just slightly shrugged her shoulders, and said flatly: "Of course I have my own means."

Duan Muqing was still a little hesitant at first, so he turned around and asked for help from his family. The consequences were too tragic. Accepting Luo Lingling's conditions made him feel a little embarrassed about his face.

At this time, Luo Lingling offered to give him a pansy, which was equivalent to giving him a step up and a reason to convince herself.

It wasn't that Duan Muqing was soft-boned, but that for the sake of his friends, he sacrificed himself to benefit others, and his mood immediately became smoother, and he had all the face in his heart.
