Chapter 1085: Dont you want to marry? (1/2)

Abruptly!

From behind, a familiar voice cried out, “Qi gege!”

Qi gege!!!

Gu Qishao was the first to turn back and was instantly stunned by the sight. This was probably the deepest impression Mu Linger had ever made on him!

Mu Linger was carrying a baby in swaddling clothes while sitting astride a large white tiger. She was currently leaning against the arms of a tall man. Although she had seen Han Yunxi, the woman she acknowledged, and Long Feiye, the man she feared, her eyes were only on Gu Qishao. Despite her tears, she was smiling as if all the flowers in the world had bloomed at once, as if her life would be happy from this moment on, enough to make everyone forget their worries and smile with her.

This was a smile of pure joy!

Even though all she did was catch a glimpse of her Qi gege, Mu Linger was still happy. Still crying, she laughed, “Qi gege, Linger misses you so much! Qi gege! Linger can finally see you again!”

Everyone was stunned. Even Jun Yixie and Ning Cheng were caught unawares, never expecting Mu Linger and Manager Jin would appear at this moment. Hope flared up in Ning Cheng’s eyes. With these two here, Jun Yixie’s scheme would fail! Definitely!

Jun Yixie was shaken. He was only eight steps away from killing Long Feiye and the rest!

Why?

The snakes underfoot had already been poisoned to death, while the surrounding archers didn’t dare to shoot without orders. This tiger had suddenly charged in out of nowhere and left them shocked and clueless about the two people’s origins. Actually, Manager Jin and Mu Linger already knew rescue was on the way when Han Yunxi poisoned the mosquito and snake swarms. Manager Jin quickly noticed that all of the guards had withdrawn to Tiger’s Prison, making this the prime time for him and Mu Linger to make their escape.

However, he still brought her back, if only because of Mu Linger’s terms. If this was any other day, everyone would notice that Mu Linger was currently missing a lock of hair, but no one was in the mood to pay any attention now. Everyone was caught between delight and surprise. Tang Li’s attention was wholly focused on the infant in Mu Linger’s arms. Before she spoke, he was already rushing forward. “Child...my child, is it?”

“Yes!” Mu Linger quickly handed him the baby. Tang Li didn’t know what to do in his pleased surprise and even forgot to accept.

“Take her!” Mu Linger took the child and jumped off the tiger’s back. “Tang Li, this is the daughter that Big Sis Ning birthed for you, hurry up and hold her.”

Tang Li suddenly gave a start. He didn’t reach for the child, but asked, “Where’s Ning Jing?”

Why is there only Mu Linger and Manager Jin? Where’s Ning Jing? Shouldn’t she be the one holding the baby?

Where’s Ning Jing?!

“Linger, what’s going on? When did you guys leave Tiger’s Prison? Where’s Ning Jing?” Han Yunxi asked loudly as she retreated with Long Feiye and the rest. Gu Beiyue and Gu Qishao brought up the rear, one to guard against Jun Yixie, the other to observe the archers. After all, they had to be more careful with a child in their midst.

“Big sis, Jin Zi saved us! He knows how to tame wild beasts. He rescued us, but they ran into a mysterious man. Jin Zi and I escaped with the baby, but Big Sis Ning, Bai Yuqiao, and Little Yu’er...I don’t know where they are, either,” Mu Linger said hastily.

Manager Jin looked coldly at Tiger’s Prison and laughed. “Looks like you were all fooled by Jun Yixie.”

Now everyone was stunned. They assumed that Ning Jing was still trapped in Tiger’s Prison, but here was the truth! Jun Yixie was lying to them!

Meanwhile, Jun Yixie had finally found out that the baby wasn’t Mu Linger’s at all, but Ning Jing and Tang Li’s. He’d been thoroughly fooled by Bai Yuqiao! Still, there was no time to consider that now. His attention was wholly focused on Manager Jin, still sitting astride the tiger’s back. Now he knew who had saved Mu Linger and the rest and stolen the tigers he’d spent so many years to tame. He finally saw whose beast taming talents were higher than his.

So it was him, Manager Jin!

Why? On what grounds?

Isn’t he just a slave from the Wintercrow Clan?

How could this be…

“Who are you in the Black Clan?” Long Feiye asked coldly.

Although Mu Linger only mentioned that Manager Jin knew beast taming, he was currently sitting on a white tiger--one of the many Bai Yuqiao had mentioned in her letters! In other words, Manager Jin had tamed one of the tigers under Jun Yixie’s command.

The Black Clan was an old subordinate of East Qin, so Long Feiye knew more about them than the other noble families. Members of the clan had the talent of beast taming and each generation gave way to people with different levels of skill. Only those possessing the direct bloodline of the main clan could possess the highest talents.
