Chapter 668: Chapter 666: Chatting about Past and Present Lives_1
“Mm-hmm.”
Little Kingfisher agreed completely, even more curious about that woman: “If we have a chance, let’s visit her and have a chat about our past and present lives. Maybe she’s someone our Master knows.”
“Hehe.”
Lin Qingluo found that amusing: “You want to chat with her, but she has to be willing to acknowledge you first. A person with such a long-standing reputation in the Jianghu has their own secrets. No one wants to expose their privacy to the public. It’s not as simple as you think.”
“It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to chat.”
Little Kingfisher didn’t mind, with a bit of arrogance: “There is no gossip that this treasure can’t find out. Just let the birds keep an eye on her.”
“That’s you, always enthusiastic about gossip.”
Lin Qingluo smiled, watching the giant eagle fly over the martial arts arena of Duke Zhen’s mansion. She took a Blessed Land from her Golden Core, put it away, and became like a wisp of faint smoke falling from the sky, gracefully touching down.
“Eldest Miss is back.”
Wang Meng and the others drummed and announced on the city wall early in the morning. The commotion had already spread throughout Duke Zhen’s mansion.
The Mansion Soldiers and guards training in the martial arts arena, seeing the legitimate daughter descending from the sky, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Even if the outcome of the martial arts competition was not yet known, they all showed admiring and worshipping expressions.
“Eldest Miss, the Duke has commanded you to visit Drunken Frost Residence once you return.”
A Shadow Guard appeared from the shadows of the martial arts arena and respectfully reported.
“I know.”
Lin Qingluo smiled faintly, her figure flashed, and she was dozens of meters away in an instant.
“Eldest Miss is truly a god.”
“A Heaven-descended Goddess is nothing but this.”
“Hey, hey, do you guys think the Eldest Miss might be the Heaven-descended Goddess rumored to be the real ruler of Fengqi Empire?”
“Hush, you dare to talk nonsense like that. If Empress finds out, it’ll mean extermination.”
“Hehe, there are no outsiders here, just us brothers chatting in private. Who would know?”
“Be careful with your words in the future, don’t let outsiders hear, lest it bring disaster to Duke Zhen’s mansion.”
“Hehe, understood, won’t say it anymore.”
A group of Mansion Soldiers and guards whispered to each other as they watched the Eldest Miss walk away.
Lin Qingluo, with her keen hearing, heard the conversation between the guards, giggled indifferently, and continued towards the direction of Drunken Snow Residence.

Duke Zhen was well-informed. Before Lin Qingluo arrived at Drunken Snow Residence, a carrier pigeon had already flown into the courtyard, cooing as it landed on the edge of the study window.
Duke Zhen took the note from the bamboo tube on the pigeon’s right leg and quickly read it. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the heart hanging in his throat was finally back in his stomach.
At the same time, Lin Xiaoyang also received information from the Shadow Guards, learning that his daughter had won the martial arts competition with great success. He was both happy and frightened, sighed deeply, and couldn’t wait to leave Autumn Scene Garden to go to Drunken Frost Residence.
His daughter was back, and the first place she went to was Drunken Frost Residence. He wanted to see for himself if his precious daughter was truly safe and sound.
Despite hurrying to Drunken Frost Residence, he was one step too late.
Duke Zhen took his daughter and left for Autumn Frost Residence to visit the Old Master just as Lin Xiaoyang entered the courtyard.
Feeling utterly regretful, he sighed and immediately turned around, rushing to Autumn Frost Residence again.

Autumn Frost Residence.
The Old Master sat in a bamboo chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
Since his granddaughter had returned from the border and his eldest grandson had successfully become engaged, the Old Master’s mood had been good, and he was much healthier than before.
