The night was low, the moon was sparse, Ling Long was lying alone in the guest room, and after no one could be heard talking inside and outside the castle, he secretly opened the door with a large bag of food and left.

Seeing the group of hungry and cold children in the hidden basement during the day, Ling Long seemed to see his former self, and now that he had a bite to eat, he must not leave them alone.

Walking out of the gate, Ling Long looked around in a ghostly manner to make sure that no one was there, and then swaggered out of the courtyard.

"Woo......"

A low and suppressed woman's cry suddenly came from the depths of the courtyard, and Ling Long was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his legs and ran, but as he ran, he felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he had the courage to move in the direction of the cry.

Walking up to the huge thorn ball he saw during the day, Ling Long was sure that the cry was coming from here.

After carefully checking back and forth, Ling Long found a small square air window from the diagonal bottom of the thorn ball, clenched his fists and slowly probed to look, Ling Long was shocked to find that this huge thorn ball actually contained a middle-aged woman with white hair!

It seemed that she also noticed that someone was coming, and the woman in the stabbing ball hurriedly closed her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.

"Don't be afraid...... I'm not this family. Ling Long didn't know what to say to her, the old woman's eyes were full of exhaustion and fear, and he wouldn't believe it if she was a heinous prisoner.

"Are you a guest from out of town?" Looking into Ling Long's eyes, the old lady hesitated for a long time before asking.

Ling Long nodded vigorously.

"Did you see a small, but fair-looking girl when you came?" the down-and-out woman seemed to grasp a straw and began to ask incessantly.

Ling Long thought about it, there were only Mrs. Wu and her two daughters who were impressed here, and the other women were only a few veiled maids...... Wait a minute! Ling Long seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly spoke: "Is her name Wu Meng?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the old woman suddenly came to her senses, as if all the physical suffering was completely gone, "she is my daughter!

Comparing her with the Mrs. Wu she saw during the day, you can see who is real and who is false.

"She ......" Ling Long looked at her expectant eyes, and didn't dare to tell the truth for a while.

"She hasn't come to see me in many days, she's fine, right?" the woman crawled back and forth inside the sphere excitedly, the thorn ball was not tall enough for people to stand and walk, and Ling Long saw her kneeling skillfully inside, you can imagine how long she has been locked up......

She ...... I've been busy lately, living in the academy and practicing abilities...... So I couldn't find the time to see you......" Ling Long struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't convince herself to tell her the truth.

"It's okay! It's okay!" the woman smiled, her daughter was all her spiritual sustenance, her hope to live.

Ling Long gritted his teeth, endured the grief in his heart, slowly took out the metal bracelet, and handed it to the woman along the air window: "This is what Wu Meng asked me to hand over to you...... Don't miss her too much......"

Taking the bracelet, the woman looked at the handwriting engraved on it with her ability, and tears instantly welled up: "My good daughter...... You've suffered!"

Unable to bear to look any further, Ling Long tried to change the subject: "Auntie, who are you locked up here?" Mrs. Wu?"

Nodding, the woman carefully put away the bracelet, and then slowly spoke: "My name is Ye Mei, I met Master Wu twenty-five years ago, and later successfully married into the Wu family, but after three years of marriage, I failed to leave a son and a half daughter for the Wu family, and over time, the lord couldn't stand the pressure of the family, so he married that woman." ”

"Maybe that's fate...... Soon after the woman married into the Wu family, she gave birth to two girls, the first was named Wu Qian, and the second was named Wu You, both of whom inherited the Wu family's ability genes and were born with water ability......"

"You haven't awakened yet, you can find out where the ability is going?" Ling Long said in surprise.

"The Wu family has a mysterious awakening ritual, when the child is just one year old, put down the formation, offer sacrifices, and you can 'mature' them in a special way, although you can only awaken part of the ability, but it is enough to measure the child's future potential. ”

Ling Long nodded, thinking to himself, this world is so big that there is no surprise, and there is actually a way to test the potential of a child's abilities.

"But even so, the lord still dotes on me, which also arouses her strong dissatisfaction, and she just wants to get rid of me as soon as possible, but because of the lord's power and means, she has nothing to do with me. ”

Ling Long listened to Aunt Mei's story, but her heart became more and more sour.

"Later, I was finally pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Wu family, a lovely daughter, and we named her Wu Meng. Ye Mei sighed heavily when she said this, "But Providence makes people, what Wu Meng contains in his body is our Ye family's magnetic ability." ”

"Because of this incident, I was caught by them, slandering my bloodline for being dirty and impure, which led to the deviation of genetic ability, coupled with the various shady methods they used behind their backs, the master finally had to bow to the family...... In this way, although I was unwilling, I could only endure the pain and leave the Wu family, and became the nominal servant of the master's side. ”

Ling Long clenched his fists and secretly said that this Mrs. Wu looks amiable on the surface, but behind her back she is so insidious and vicious!

Later, Meng'er gradually grew up, but the master's body became weaker and weaker...... When Meng'er was ten years old, the old man died of illness. ”

"Without Master Wu's protection, the three of them and mother and daughter will brazenly begin to seize power and usurp the throne and imprison you here?" Ling Long's teeth itched with hatred, but he was not a person who was beyond his strength, "Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you!"

Hearing Ling Long's words, Ye Mei smiled, and her face that had gone through vicissitudes had long since lost a trace of her youth.

Carrying the food, Ling Long was full of thoughts about how to deceive Mrs. Wu's trust and open the cage...... But even if he opened the cage, how could he successfully save people? All this requires him to think long-term.

"Young man......" Ye Mei trembled and took a ring from her finger and placed it on the ground through the air window, "This is a gift that my mother once gave me when I got married, a magnetic ring, please help me give it to my daughter." ”

"I wanted to give it to her as a gift after the coming-of-age ceremony, but I had a hunch...... I probably won't have a chance to do that......"

Ling Long slowly picked up the magnetic ring, tears were rolling in his eyes, but he still nodded vigorously, turned around and walked away quickly: "Aunt Mei, you must wait for me!"
