Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Ling Yuxuan
Master Qi looked at him like that and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, you’ve got your Qi here, hurry on now.”
Upon hearing this, Guard Wu’s heart settled sowhat, and he quickly left.
After Guard Wu had left, Master Qi dropped the amiable and harmless facade, his expression turning extrely cold.
He glanced at the cara overhead and then turned to go upstairs.

“Sister-in-law, you must stand up for Yuanyuan. The people from the Law Enforcent Hall have really gone too far, they’ve taken my daughter away without any regard to justice.” Mo Qingsnow had co to seek out Alliance Hierarch Ling Yuxuan to make her case as soon as she left her ho.
Initially, she had gone to the Law Enforcent Hall, but she was told that without a hand token from either the Alliance Hierarch or the Law Enforcent Hall Master, she couldn’t even see her daughter, let alone secure her release.
Qi Yuanyuan had been captured last night, and there was talk of a twenty-lash punishnt, but it wasn’t yet confird if the punishnt had been carried out.
But whether the punishnt had been carried out or not, she needed to get Qi Yuanyuan out as soon as possible, otherwise, if Yuanyuan let sothing slip, her lineage would be ruined.
With no luck at the Law Enforcent Hall and unable to find Mo Canglan, she had no choice but to turn to Ling Yuxuan, a sister-in-law with whom she did not have a good relationship.
Not far from Mo Qingsnow, a woman dressed in a flaxen dress was busy with flowers and plants, occasionally scooping water from a wooden bucket nearby to water the plants she had tended to.
The woman, with a bare face and hair tied up, appeared to be in her thirties or forties, radiating an aura of otherworldly detachnt and cool indifference, giving her an almost divine presence.
Composedly watering the plants, Mo Qingsnow, standing nearby, watched, her expression unchanging, and she grew more anxious as she stepped forward, “Sister-in-law, Yuanyuan…”
“Don’t co any closer.” Just as Mo Qingsnow took a few steps, Ling Yuxuan stopped her, “Don’t step on my plants.”
Ling Yuxuan only glanced at Mo Qingsnow out of the corner of her eye before continuing to tend to her plants.
Mo Qingsnow’s face turned sowhat unsightly, but she stopped in her tracks and continued to watch Ling Yuxuan, adding, “Yuanyuan is my only daughter. With her low Ancient Martial Arts skill level, how can she withstand a twenty-lash punishnt from the Law Enforcent Hall?”
“Sister-in-law, you can’t just stand by and watch her die, she is your and eldest brother’s blood niece, after all.” Mo Qingsnow played the emotional card.
“No, thank you, I, Ling Yuxuan, cannot bear such a niece.” Ling Yuxuan’s tone was even and indifferent, not even sparing Mo Qingsnow a glance as she moved among the flowers, continuing to water them, “Since you know she can’t bear it, she shouldn’t have caused trouble. Now that she has, isn’t punishnt justified?”
“Yuanyuan truly didn’t cause trouble, it was the people from the Law Enforcent Hall who didn’t distinguish between right and wrong…”
Before Mo Qingsnow could finish, she was interrupted, “Mo Qingsnow, it’s been a long ti since I’ve left the courtyard, but do you really think I’m ignorant of external affairs?”
At these words, Mo Qingsnow choked and fell silent, “Sister-in-law, I…”
“I’ve said long ago not to enter Yue Xi’s courtyard without permission, but you wouldn’t listen.” Ling Yuxuan continued watering as she spoke in an unhurried tone, “Now that you’ve ruffled feathers, whatever punishnt is due will be served, consider it a lesson learned.”
“But Yuanyuan, she…”
“Enough, don’t bother here. Pleading with won’t work, try sowhere else.” Ling Yuxuan, annoyed, directly moved to dismiss her.
“But sister-in-law, I… Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Qingsnow was caught in a gust of wind and was sent flying out of the Alliance Hierarch’s courtyard.
After getting rid of Mo Qingsnow, Ling Yuxuan summoned her assistant, “Miao Miao, co water the flowers, I’m stepping out.”
Miao Miao stepped forward and took the dipper, “Where are you going, Alliance Hierarch?”
Could it be she was going to plead for Qi Yuanyuan?
