Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Lu Yuan looked at her, his doubts growing. He suddenly said, "Ling'er, can I see your back?"

Ye Ling'er's face changed and she stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"

Lu Yuan also realized that his words were a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "Ling'er, don't misunderstand, I just... just want to confirm something."

Ye Ling'er stared at him closely, her eyes full of vigilance: "What do you want to confirm?"

At this time, Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen also noticed the abnormality here and walked over.

Ye Qianmo asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er, then at Ye Qianmo, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his doubts: "Qianmo, I think Ling'er may not be the real Ling'er."

Ye Qianmo's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?"

Lu Yuan said hurriedly: "I also hope that I am overthinking, but Ling'er's behavior is too abnormal. Besides, I asked you if she has any marks on her body just to confirm it."

Ye Qianmo's expression became serious. She looked at Ye Ling'er and said, "Sister, is what he said true?"

Ye Ling'er bit her lip and said, "Sister, you have to believe me. I am Ling'er."

Ye Qianmo frowned: "Then let Lu Yuan take a look at your back. If there is really a birthmark, it can prove your identity."

Ye Ling'er lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan became more certain of his guess: "Ling'er, why didn't you let me see it? Are you really hiding something from us?"

Ye Ling'er suddenly raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, since you don't believe me, then I'll let you see."

Ye Ling'er slowly turned around, with her back to everyone. She gently lifted up her shirt, revealing her fair and smooth back. Below her left shoulder blade, a blood-red birthmark suddenly caught everyone's eyes. Its shape was just like a blooming Lycoris radiata, delicate and mysterious.

The moment Lu Yuan saw the birthmark, a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart. He felt a little embarrassed for his previous groundless speculation, and vaguely felt that things did not seem that simple.

His intuition told him that Ye Ling'er must be hiding some unknown secrets, even though the birthmark in front of him seemed to prove her identity.

After seeing the birthmark, Ye Qianmo breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face. She walked forward, gently patted Ye Ling'er on the shoulder, and said, "Sister, I knew you were Ling'er. It's my fault that I made you suffer."

Ye Ling'er turned her head, tears flashing in her eyes: "Sister, I don't blame you. I know you are doing this for my own good."

Mo Chen also smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Ling'er, we are just worried about you. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's okay."

Lu Yuan scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Miss Ling'er, I'm sorry, I was too concerned."

Ye Ling'er shook her head slightly: "It's okay, Brother Lu Yuan. You are also thinking about everyone's safety."

Although Ye Ling'er's identity seemed to be confirmed, Lu Yuan's doubts were not completely dissipated. He always felt that there seemed to be something elusive hidden in Ye Ling'er's eyes, and that feeling made him feel uneasy.

In order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lu Yuan changed the subject. He looked at Ye Qianmo and asked, "Qianmo, after we escape from the Nether Palace, what are your plans?"

Ye Qianmo was slightly stunned, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently put her arm around Ye Ling'er's shoulders and said, "As long as my sister is here, anywhere is home."

"Now I just want to find a quiet place with my sister and live a good life, keeping her away from all the disputes and dangers." Ye Ling'er leaned in Ye Qianmo's arms, her eyes full of happiness and dependence.

"Sister, I listen to you."

Lu Yuan looked at the two sisters relying on each other and felt moved.

He thought of his family and friends, and also of the hardships and tribulations he had experienced in these troubled times.

He knows very well how happy and precious it is to be able to be with the one you love in this turbulent world.

"Have you decided where to go?" Mo Chen asked.

Ye Qianmo shook his head: "Not yet. We plan to stay in this valley for a while and see how things go. There is abundant spiritual energy here, which is very suitable for cultivation. It won't be too late to make plans after our strength improves a bit."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Well, this is indeed a good place. However, we can't let our guard down. The people from the Nether Palace will definitely not give up, they will definitely send people to look for our whereabouts."

"That's right." Mo Chen also echoed: "We still need to be more cautious and be more vigilant."

Ye Qianmo said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will protect my sister. If anyone from the Nether Palace dares to come, I will make sure they never return."

Ye Ling'er raised her head and looked at Ye Qianmo's determined eyes, her heart filled with emotion and confidence. "Sister, I will also work hard to practice and will not let you worry about me anymore."

After resting for a while in the valley, they set off again.

Along the way, Lu Yuan remained vigilant and paid attention to the movements around him.

He always felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if a pair of eyes were watching them in the dark.

As they went deeper into the valley, the surrounding environment became more and more complex.

The dense forest blocks out the sun, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves and dead branches, so it is easy to step on a trap if you are not careful.

There was a damp smell in the air, making people feel a little stuffy.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan stopped and pricked up his ears, seeming to hear some subtle noises. "Everyone be careful, something seems to be approaching."

Everyone immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly and looking around. Ye Qianmo closed his eyes, released his spiritual consciousness, and tried to sense the surrounding situation.

After a moment, Ye Qianmo suddenly opened his eyes, his expression becoming very ugly. "Oh no, the people from the Netherworld Palace are chasing us."

Everyone's heart tightened, they knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

"Don't panic, let's find a place to hide." Lu Yuan said calmly.

The crowd acted quickly and found a hidden cave nearby. They hid in the cave, held their breath, and waited quietly for the people from the Nether Palace to come over.

Soon, a group of people in black robes appeared in the valley. They all had stern faces and murderous intent in their eyes. The leader was a tall man with a black mask on his face, making it difficult to see his face. (End of this chapter)
