Chapter 510: Chapter 509: Little Sister is Still Young, Must Keep a Close Eye on Her_1
Mo Canglan arrived quickly, bringing the Little Prince with him.
Upon seeing his sister covered in injuries, the Little Prince’s eyes immediately reddened, and large tears fell down his cheeks.
Lin Qingluo didn’t care about her own wounds, instead focusing all her attention on his face.
Her gaze fell on the enchanting red mole between his brows, and she couldn’t help but feel somber.
Wu Clan bloodline, Unrevealed Prophecy!
Would this unusual ability bring luck or misfortune to this child who had already faced so many hardships since childhood?
“Sister, Xuan’er will apply the medicine for you.”
The Little Prince cried with a sob, but didn’t forget about his sister’s injuries, taking spiritual medicine and bandages from the medicine box to dress her wounds.
His movements were skilled, applying the ointment carefully and cautiously, seeming worried that it would cause her pain, his fingertips on her skin soft and delicate.
Lin Qingluo’s smile was warm, letting him tend to her wounds, occasionally reaching out to wipe the tears that endlessly fell from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
As Mo Canglan treated Lin Jinxu’s injuries, the corner of his eyes remained on the tender interactions between the siblings, feeling a sense of sourness and oppression for some reason.
It seemed as if he was an unnecessary presence, and should not be here.
Lin Jinxu had the same feeling.
Though he knew about his sister’s deep bond with the Little Prince since childhood, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
It was suffocating, accompanied by an almost imperceptible feeling of wariness.
His little sister was still young, only eleven years old.
He had to keep a close eye on her, not letting outsiders covet her, even if it was an undeveloped child. It was not allowed.

Shitou had sharp eyes, and following his Master’s instructions, he hid in the shadows and peeked over the edge of the cliff.
If he hadn’t looked, he wouldn’t have known; looking down, he was greatly startled.
Sure enough, there were hidden enemy troops at the bottom of the cliff, roughly numbering over ten thousand.
These Beiming soldiers were waiting for news from the Black Wolf Guards.
Once the Black Wolf Guards breached the pass and sent a message, they would climb up the cliff using the ropes thrown down and infiltrate Phoenix Pass from behind, executing a surprise attack, simultaneously striking from the front and rear to capture the pass.
“Oh my goodness, so many people! What should we do?”
Shitou was frightened, his little heart trembling. Seeing no one around, he quickly darted back to report to his Master.
“The cliff is steep and inaccessible for ordinary soldiers without support.”
Lin Qingluo was thoughtful and meticulous, making a decision after a brief pause: “First, let’s eradicate the Black Wolf Guards on the top of the cliff, then trap their reinforcements in a besieged situation, so they have no way to return.”
“The enemy signal has been lit for a while.”
Lin Jinxu’s sword-shaped eyebrows furrowed: “In theory, the watchtower in the Phoenix Pass should have seen it, and perhaps reinforcements will arrive soon.”
“The straight-line distance between Phoenix Pass and Tiger’s Mouth is still ten miles, and with the slippery roads and treacherous mountain paths, it will not be easy for a large army to rush over.”
Lin Qingluo’s brow furrowed: “We cannot rely on reinforcements, we must find a way to defeat the enemy army at the bottom of the cliff ourselves.”
Shitou, full of enthusiasm, said, “It would be great if we had large stones, we could throw them from the mountains to crush them.”
“How many people can you kill with stones?”
Lin Qingluo laughed: “There are tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, well-organized and efficient. They can evacuate within the time of burning incense, and if they discover anything unusual and become prepared, annihilating them entirely will be difficult.”
“Master, do you really want to wipe them all out in one go?”
Shitou couldn’t believe it: “There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and just counting their heads would make my eyes dizzy.”
Lin Jinxu was also stunned: “Sister, our soldiers at Tiger’s Mouth have suffered heavy casualties, and there are only a few left. With just us, it’s impossible to wipe out an entire army, right?”
