Wei Residence, Wei Wensong waited in his study. He knew what the Wei family's ancestor was doing and was currently awaiting news.
Wei Wensong was agitated, unable to focus on the book in his hands, feeling as though something bad was about to happen.
Wei Wensong took a sip of tea to suppress his unease and saw the Wei family ancestor leap in through the window, nearly falling.
Wei Wensong quickly helped the Wei family ancestor and asked urgently, "Grandfather, how did it go? Was it successful?"
The Wei family ancestor was the father of the previous Wei family head, and naturally, Wei Wensong's grandfather.
The Wei family ancestor sat down, caught his breath, and tightly gripped Wei Wensong's hand, saying sternly, "Wensong, the Ling family cannot be allowed to exist! Otherwise, the Wei family will be annihilated!"
Wei Wensong asked doubtfully, "Grandfather, weren't you going to assassinate Ling Luoyi? Was it successful? What happened?"
"Wensong, listen to me, Ling Luoyi is not a first-tier Spirit Master! She..."
The Wei family ancestor's lips moved, but Wei Wensong couldn't hear what he was saying.
Wei Wensong tried hard to listen but heard nothing, finally asking, "Grandfather, what are you saying?"
The Wei family ancestor was furious! He had said so much, yet his grandson couldn't hear any of it?
The Wei family ancestor took a breath and shouted, "I said! Ling Luoyi is more than just a first-tier Spirit Master! Her cultivation should be higher!"
However, even though the Wei family ancestor shouted as loudly as he could, Wei Wensong still couldn't hear anything beyond the first two words, only seeing the Wei family ancestor's anger grow.
Seeing Wei Wensong's bewildered expression, the Wei family ancestor angrily slapped the top of Wei Wensong's head, causing Wei Wensong's vision to blur.
Wei Wensong felt wronged; his grandfather hadn't said anything.
Seeing that he couldn't hear his words, the Wei family ancestor thought for a moment, saw the brush and ink on the table, and decided to write it down.
Wei Wensong watched as the Wei family ancestor wrote the words 'Ling Luoyi'. No matter how he wrote or how many times he wrote the words that followed, only 'Ling Luoyi' appeared on the paper.
Seeing this, the Wei family ancestor exchanged a look with Wei Wensong and said, "Could it be that we've seen a ghost?"
Wei Wensong heard this sentence and frowned, asking, "Grandfather, could this be Ling Luoyi's doing?"
The Wei family ancestor recalled hearing Ling Luoyi snap her fingers as he fled back. He said to Wei Wensong, "Wensong, listen to me, the Ling family must not be allowed to remain. They must be completely eradicated before they can grow! We absolutely cannot give them a chance to breathe, like ten years ago!"
"Grandfather, your grandson understands. We will definitely cut them off at the root. However, Grandfather, now is not the best time."
The Wei family ancestor also knew that now was not a good time, and Ling Luoyi was present. He said, "Wensong, when word comes from over there, we must deal with the Ling family immediately!"
"Grandfather, your grandson understands."
After receiving Wei Wensong's assurance, the Wei family ancestor calmed down and looked in the direction of the Ling family.
Ling Luoyi, you don't want me to speak, what are you trying to do?

Two hours later, Ling Luoyi suddenly returned to her room in Mingyue Tower.
Gu Yuncheng saw her appear and jumped to her side, saying, "Luoluo, are you done with everything?"
"Mm." Ling Luoyi poured a glass of juice and drank it.
"Luoluo, I asked your maid to prepare some food for you. Keep it warm, it should be ready to be served now. You should eat something first."
"Mm."
Ling Luoyi picked up Gu Yuncheng, stroked his body, her eyes narrowing in enjoyment.
Gu Yuncheng was still in his fox form, his entire body fluffy, warm, soft, and elastic, feeling wonderful to the touch.
Just then, Zhu Xue came up and asked softly from outside the door, "Miss, are you finished? Your servant has prepared some food. Would you like to have some?"
"Bring it in."
"Yes."
Zhu Xue pushed open the door and placed the food on the dining table.
Ling Luoyi sat down with Gu Yuncheng in her arms and began to eat, not forgetting to feed Gu Yuncheng.
Zhu Xue watched the interaction between Ling Luoyi and the white fox, asking curiously, "Miss, do you like this fox very much?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No problem. It's just, Miss, I see you holding this fox all the time, never putting it down. I'm a little curious."
"What's there to be curious about? This fox is so beautiful, who wouldn't like it?"
"That's true."
After eating, Ling Luoyi pointed to the small bed not far away and said, "Zhu Xue, after you finish cleaning up, sleep there."
Hearing this, Zhu Xue suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss, your servant must stay awake to guard you. There is no need to sleep."
"Guard what? Sleep when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!" Ling Luoyi's voice turned cold.
"Yes!" Zhu Xue knew that Ling Luoyi was usually easy to get along with, but if she contradicted her, she would get angry.
After Zhu Xue finished cleaning, she slept on the small bed.
About fifteen minutes later, the area outside the room was filled with people.
Ling Luoyi counted them; there were nearly a hundred.
Seeing so many people coming to kill her, Ling Luoyi chuckled and said, "So many people are unhappy with me. Sending so many death warriors, aren't you afraid they'll all perish here?"
Ling Luoyi watched them not make a move, then stood up, extinguished all the candles, and sat back by the window.
It was nearing the second watch, and there were no stars. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, and illumination relied solely on candlelight. Once the candlelight was extinguished, it was impossible to see anything in the room with the naked eye.
The death warriors saw the candlelight in Ling Luoyi's room extinguish. After waiting for another fifteen minutes, they attacked the window of Ling Luoyi's room.
However, one by one, the death warriors lost their lives before they could even get close to Mingyue Tower.
Ling Luoyi looked at the dead bodies. Apart from not breathing, everything else was as it was in life. There were no wounds, no blood. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't know how they died.
Ling Luoyi watched Xing Yu, who appeared and disappeared intermittently, and seeing his movements clearly, she began to imitate him.
Gu Yuncheng saw her actions and shook his head dotingly.
This girl, she never missed an opportunity to learn.
Wave after wave of death warriors outside died, but they didn't even know who was killing them.
As the ones in front died, the ones behind came, and Xing Yu eliminated them all effortlessly.
Ling Luoyi looked at the corpses of the death warriors scattered everywhere. Each of them had been cultivated at great expense, with cultivation levels above fifth-tier Spirit Masters. What a pity, they all died here. If it were her?
Thinking of this, Ling Luoyi trembled and shook her head.
If it were her, she would have vomited three liters of blood.
After Xing Yu killed everyone, he gestured to Ling Luoyi. Seeing her nod, he raised his hand, and the death warrior corpses suddenly floated up, then gradually turned into dust.
When the last speck of dust vanished, Xing Yu bowed to Ling Luoyi and then hid himself again.
Seeing Xing Yu hide again, Ling Luoyi looked around, but couldn't find where he was hiding, feeling a bit dejected.
"Luoluo, did you figure anything out?" Gu Yuncheng asked with a smile, seeing that she wasn't discouraged.
"It's spatial elevation and spatial cutting," Ling Luoyi said, demonstrating.
The juice in the cup floated up along with Ling Luoyi's spiritual energy, then was cut into three segments. The first and third segments were at the same height, while the middle segment was lower by a finger's width.
The juice continued to flow but did not touch the other two segments.
Ling Luoyi's fingers continued to move, and the middle juice continued to descend. It stopped moving when it reached a width of two fingers.
"A'su, this is as far as I can go," Ling Luoyi said with disappointment.
