Chapter 131 Feigning Death and Hiding from the Storm
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Wanning and Dai Luoli slowly awoke in a quiet and secluded mountain village house, far from Xingluo City. They were unharmed, only slightly frightened.
Ling Ya stood by the bedside. Seeing that they had woken up, he bowed respectfully. "Madam, young master, you're awake. You must be frightened."
"Sir, where is this?" Bai Wanning looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with surprise and doubt, tightly gripping Dai Luoli's hand.
"Madam, there's no need to panic. This place is safe. I am Ling Ya, a subordinate of Young Master Youheng. This is a secret location that the Young Master arranged long ago," Ling Ya explained calmly. "Today's events were all part of the Young Master's plan. He sensed that Zhu Man intended to harm you, so he used this clever escape tactic to help you get away from the Duke's mansion, that dangerous place. From this day forward, in the eyes of outsiders, you are already dead."
"The young master instructed that you and your wife stay here for the time being. All your necessities and gold coins have been prepared by the young master. Once the young master has finished dealing with all matters outside, he will personally come to welcome you. At that time, you will have no more worries."
After listening, Bai Wanning was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh of relief. Her eyes held both lingering fear and a mixture of shock and relief at her son's deep scheming. She nodded. "Okay, we understand. Tell Youheng to be careful. We'll wait for him."
Dai Luoli understood, and the fear in her eyes faded, replaced by unwavering trust. "Mr. Lingya, tell my brother that I will protect Mother and work hard in my cultivation so as not to disgrace him!"
Ling Ya nodded. "Young Master is too kind. I will certainly convey your message."
After explaining the arrangements to Dai Youheng, Ling Ya prepared to disappear into the shadows once more. Bai Wanning looked at this man with a profound aura and ghostly movements. Although she had her suspicions, she couldn't help but call out to him, "Mr. Ling Ya, please wait."
Ling Ya stopped in his tracks, turned around respectfully, and asked, "Does Madam have any further instructions?"
Bai Wanning hesitated for a moment before asking the question that had been bothering her, "Mr. Lingya, who exactly are you? How could Youheng have managed to get a master like you to come and help? If it weren't for you, my son and I would probably be dead by now."
She still feels lingering fear when she recalls the horrific explosion.
Ling Ya remained silent for a moment. As instructed by his young master, his identity had to be kept strictly confidential, but the two people in front of him were, in his eyes, his young master's closest confidants, and absolutely trustworthy.
He straightened his back slightly, maintaining his respectful demeanor, but a powerful aura involuntarily emanated from him, instantly transforming the farmhouse. He didn't release his spirit rings, but the invisible pressure he exuded was far beyond what ordinary spirit masters could possess.
He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but as firm as a rock, "Reporting to Madam, your subordinate is Ling Ya. I am grateful to the young master for not abandoning me and for granting me new life and power. I am now a guard under the young master. I have fortunately reached the level of a Title Douluo, with the title of Ice Void Douluo."
"A Title Douluo?!" Bai Wanning's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand to suppress the exclamation that almost escaped her lips. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was filled with disbelief and shock!
Title Douluo!
That is a being standing at the pinnacle of the entire continent, a giant that even empires would try their best to win over and treat as an honored guest!
Her husband, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, is a high-ranking military official in the Star Luo Empire. Despite his best efforts, he is still stuck at the Soul Douluo level and has yet to take that crucial step.
And her son, Youheng, who in her memory was just a illegitimate son who was cautious and oppressed in the Duke's mansion not long ago, had quietly subdued a Title Douluo.
And he even made a titled Douluo so respectfully refer to himself as a subordinate and serve him as his master!
This is simply unbelievable!
Dai Luoli heard it too, her mouth gaping open wide enough to fit an egg, her eyes widening in disbelief. Her gaze towards Ling Ya instantly filled with unparalleled adoration and fanaticism. A Title Douluo! Her brother actually has a Title Douluo as a subordinate? That's incredible!
"Your Majesty, Ice-Sky Douluo?" Bai Wanning's voice trembled with disbelief, and she subconsciously used a respectful title.
She simply couldn't understand how Youheng had done it. How many things behind the scenes were unknown to her?
Ling Ya bowed slightly. "Madam, you can simply call me Ling Ya. In front of the young master, I will always be a subordinate." His attitude remained respectful, demonstrating that his stance stemmed entirely from his loyalty to Dai Youheng.
Bai Wanning took several deep breaths to barely suppress the turmoil in her heart. She looked at Ling Ya with a complex expression, filled with shock and doubt, but ultimately, it all turned into an indescribable sense of relief and a hint of pride.
Her son was no longer the boy she needed to carefully protect under her wing. The power and methods he possessed far exceeded her imagination.
"I understand." Bai Wanning's voice finally regained some calm, but it was still slightly hoarse from excitement. "Thank you for informing me, Mr. Lingya. And thank you for your assistance to Youheng and for saving my life today."
"Madam, you flatter me. This is merely my duty." Ling Ya bowed again. "If Madam has no further instructions, I will take my leave now. I must also inform the young master of the situation here. Madam and young master can rest assured and stay here safely."
After saying this, seeing Bai Wanning nod, Ling Ya's figure completely blended into the shadows and disappeared.
Silence returned to the cabin.
Bai Wanning slowly sat back down on the edge of the bed, her eyes somewhat glazed over, clearly still processing the astonishing fact that "her son has a titled Douluo under his command."
Dai Luoli jumped up excitedly, whispering, "Mother, did you hear that? A Title Douluo! My brother is amazing! I knew he would amount to something!"
Looking at her youngest son's excited expression, Bai Wanning finally revealed a complex yet hopeful smile. She gently pulled Dai Luoli into her arms and whispered, "Yes, your brother, he has really grown up."
However, the speed and manner of his growth far exceeded her imagination as a woman confined to her home. Unconsciously, the worry in her heart about her son's situation was largely dispelled by this sudden surge of confidence.
With such a son, perhaps the day when she and her son truly escape their suffering and usher in a new life is not far off. What she needs to do now is to protect herself and her youngest son, so that Youheng can have no worries, and then quietly wait for Youheng's return.
The cottage returned to its tranquility, as if it had simply welcomed an ordinary distant relative. Meanwhile, in Star Luo City, a massive storm, triggered by the "unexpected deaths of the Duke's concubine and the fourth young master," was quietly brewing.
It will explode when the young master who has traveled to the north returns.
