Chapter 206: The Foggy Mystery Deepens Layer by Layer

Long Qi and Xin Yi searched for a long time, but they did not find anyone else. In Yunmeng Marsh, water mist permeated everywhere, and the two did not dare to venture too far, fearing that if they went too far, they would not be able to find the way back. Since they truly could not find Liu Xia and the others, the two discussed returning to the cave.

Yet just as the two were about to reach the cave entrance, Lady Lu suddenly ran out. She was seen with torn clothes and a panicked expression; the moment she saw Xin Yi, she rushed forward in a hurry.

"Xin Yi! That girl... that girl wants to kill your mother!"

Xin Yi hurriedly reached out to support Lady Lu, his brow furrowing upon hearing this. Long Qi was also solemn, and the two exchanged a look, both wearing expressions of disbelief, yet Lady Lu's appearance did not seem feigned. Could there be some misunderstanding in this?

Long Qi nodded at Xin Yi and walked forward two steps, but he was shocked by the scene at the cave entrance. There were clear signs of a struggle at the entrance, with crushed stones and some claw marks everywhere, yet Lingxiang's figure was nowhere to be seen.

If it were truly as Lady Lu said, the crushed stones in the cave might be explained, but what were these claw marks about?

Could this Lingxiang truly be something else in disguise? But if it were a fake Lingxiang, why would she have saved him? And where was she now?

Long Qi was deeply confused, feeling that there were many mysteries in this. He walked out of the cave, and seeing that Lady Lu's mind had calmed down, he stepped forward and asked, "Lady, you came out of the cave and said Lingxiang wanted to kill you, but why would she want to harm you?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Lu seemed extremely frightened, trembling as she replied, "I don't know why. The two of us were talking perfectly well, when suddenly a child came looking for her. After speaking a few words with her, she turned on me."

A child? Long Qi was even more bewildered. As far as he knew, this was Lingxiang's first time coming to Yunmeng Marsh, so how could she know any child?

"Then where are they now?" Long Qi asked next.

This question caught Lady Lu off guard: "What? Is she not inside? Just a moment ago, she was at the cave entrance looking fierce and menacing."
