Because of the delay along the way, Murong Ling and the others returned to the Duke Palaces. A servant of the Duke of Zhenguo Palace had sent his a dowry along with the dowry, along with two guards, a man and a woman.

Murong Ling simply did not expect the Duke of Zhenguo Palace to honestly spit out all of their dowry. Thus, when she saw that the items on the list were only slightly better than the dowry she had brought into the Duke Palace, she did not get angry. Instead, her gaze landed on the two guards.

"What are your names?"

"Subordinate Leng Qiu, subordinate Leng Dong, greets Master."

Her gaze swept across the two of them. She was about twenty years old, her breath was long and her Qi was dense, her martial arts did not seem weak. But, would Duke of Zhenguo be so kind as to send her two helpers?

"You two are my mother's concubines, why have I never seen you two before?"

The first to speak was the female guard Leng Qiu.

She gave off the impression of a beautiful lady, but her expression was cold and her eyes were firm. One could tell with one glance that she was someone with a story behind her.

At this moment, her ice-cold expression faintly melted, and her eyes held nostalgic gratitude. "This servant and Leng Dong were saved by Madam, and even the martial arts on them were personally taught by her. Madam said that when Miss was born, Subordinate and Leng Dong would be Miss's right hand and left hand. I will protect Miss well in the future … "

Saying that, her voice paused as she looked at Murong Ling guiltily. It was obvious that they did not achieve what her mother had wished for them to be when she was alive.

Just then, Leng Dong suddenly knelt down, "Duke of Zhenguo has always prevented this subordinate from getting close to master, Master please punish me."

Leng Qiu was slow by half a beat and also knelt down.

Murong Ling was deep in thought.

In the original owner's memories, she had missed her mother before, but whenever she asked, Duke of Zhenguo would always have a strange expression and hate her more and more. Afterwards, she unintentionally overheard the old man in the mansion gossip about his mother being a woman of unknown origins. When she married Murong Ben, she already had a big stomach, and had gotten pregnant by some unknown person's bastard. Since then, she started to suspect that she was not a child of the Duke of Zhenguo, and her self-esteem became weaker and weaker.

Now, after listening to Leng Qiu and Yue Yang's explanation, it turned out that the original owner was proficient in martial arts. She became even more curious and asked, "Who is my mother?"

The two of them shook their heads to show that they did not know, but when Murong Ling saw that Leng Qiu's face had a strange expression, she secretly noted it down and allowed them to leave.

At the same time, within the secret room of the study, there was a pair of master and servant conversing.

"Palace Lord, your subordinate has investigated and confirmed that Duke of Zhenguo has hidden his strength. He has already reached the peak of the tenth level of the Postnatal realm and is only one step away from breaking through the Innate realm." Bai Mu's expression was solemn, "There are many experts' Qi inside the State Duke Mansion, Duke of Zhenguo's strength is not as simple as it seems."

Li Cangmin's expression became heavy, the moment Bai Mu and Murong Ben started fighting, he discovered that the other party was hiding his strength, and what caught his attention the most was that Murong Ben's Spirit Qi was extremely round, and was nearing the Spirit Soul Realm, if there was an opportunity, he could directly convert it into Spirit Qi without any problem.

His current cultivation technique was passed down from the first Palace Lord of Burying Flowers Palace, Bai Qing Li. Every single Palace Lord would definitely cultivate it, but according to the clear records, other than the first person Palace Lord, who was with him, the previous Palace Lord was completely unable to practice this technique and could only cultivate their internal energy.

From this, it could be seen that cultivating elemental energy depended on one's innate constitution.

However, Murong Ben had opened up a new world for him. Ordinary martial artists who reached the pinnacle of martial arts would most likely turn into spirit energy!

What exactly was the secret of the Upper Sky Realm?
