Standing not far from the homemade prison, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
When he was scouting the location a few days ago, he noticed that there were several guards at the prison gate. Why are they all gone today?
The huge prison gate was deserted; the scene seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.
but.
Lu Yuan didn't dwell on it too much.
He had been planning for several days and had finally created this rare opportunity. Even though he knew that the prison was a trap, he still had to go in and try.
With that thought in mind, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated and rushed into the prison through the entrance.
The prison's interior was simpler than he had imagined.
A straight corridor stretches as far as the eye can see, with unobstructed iron bars on both sides. There are ten cells in total, and each cell is empty.
"Why are they all empty?" Lu Yuan frowned. "Could it be that Li Liuxin wasn't imprisoned in here?"
Based on my observations over the past few days, this prison is the most likely place to imprison Li Liuxin, far from home.
However, the iron fences on both sides allow you to see straight through, so not only can you not see Li Liuxin, but you can't see anyone else either.
But since he was already there, Lu Yuan reluctantly walked into the prison.
"There are very likely other secret rooms in the prison. Search them carefully again."
Just then, Lu Yuan felt as if he had touched a brick in his palm that felt different from the others, and he gently pressed it down.
really.
A loud rumble rang out, and a new entrance appeared at the end of the corridor.
"There really is one?!"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
It was just a guess at first, but I never expected that he would actually find it.
Without much hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately stepped into the entrance, only to discover that it was actually a passage leading to the lower level.
Following the passage underground, a real dungeon came into view.
"It seems this is the real prison away from home!"
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and walked into the passage.
Although the cells on both sides were empty like those on the upper level, Lu Yuan could still tell the difference at a glance.
"The place reeks of blood. Even without seeing the images, one can imagine what happened here. If Li Liuxin is being held in the Li family, this is the most likely place."
Looking down at the time, Lu Yuan quickened his pace.
He walked all the way to the innermost cell before he saw the first, and only, person imprisoned there.
Despite the thick layer of blood on his body, his straight back did not look disheveled; in fact, it gave him a sense of solitary courage.
See here.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but tentatively ask, "The heart of sulfur?"
Upon hearing this, the woman in front of him, who had remained motionless like a statue, suddenly paused, then slowly turned her head.
With just one glance, Lu Yuan was certain that the seemingly disheveled yet resilient woman before him was Li Liuxin, whom he had been searching for for so long.
really.
After hearing Lu Yuan's question, the woman did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.
Who are you?
Li Liuxin's voice was weak and powerless, but it was not offensive; Lu Yuan even found it somewhat pleasant.
"My name is Lu Yuan."
After hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Li Liuxin frowned slightly and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Your surname is Lu?...Lu."
“That’s right,” Lu Yuan continued, “You should be very familiar with this surname.”
Upon hearing this...
As if suddenly remembering something, Li Liuxin abruptly raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Lu Yuan's face.
After a long while, she shook her head as if in disbelief, muttering to herself in a low voice.
"How could this be? You shouldn't be in a place like this!"
"I came here specifically to find you."
Looking for me?
Li Liuxin thought that hearing this answer would lower her guard a little, but unexpectedly she suddenly became somewhat distraught.
"Do you know that the Myriad Realms Heaven is extremely dangerous, especially away from home? It's no exaggeration to call it a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. What are you doing in such a place?!"
A suppressed roar escaped from Li Liuxin's throat.
But despite the harshness of her words, her eyes, filled with despair, couldn't help but well up with tears.
"My only wish was to keep you away from these conflicts and let you grow up properly. Why did you come looking for me instead?"
As he spoke.
Li Liuxin lowered her stubborn head slightly, her shoulders trembling as she sobbed softly.
Whether it was due to their blood ties or not, even though this was the first time Lu Yuan had seen Li Liuxin in person, seeing her suppressing her sobs with her head down, Lu Yuan felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.
"It's a long story," Lu Yuan couldn't help but explain. "I've been planning this for a long time before I finally got the chance to come find you. We can talk about any problems later. The most important thing right now is to get you out of here!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he wanted to break down the door and leave with Li Liuxin, but Li Liuxin shook her head.
"It's no use. They won't let me leave home easily."
Before Lu Yuan could ask any further questions, Li Liuxin spoke up.
“I have what I want most when I leave home, and no matter where I run to, they will find a way to bring me back.”
After saying that.
Li Liuxin looked up at Lu Yuan, her tone leaving no room for argument.
"You are the last person who should have come to the Myriad Realms Heaven, and you should never have let the Li family discover your presence. While there is still room for redemption, leave here immediately!"
Lu Yuan slowly shook his head.
“My identity has already been discovered by the Jiang family, and it’s only a matter of time before Li Xingchi finds out. It’s too late to get away now.”
Even before he arrived in this world, he was already caught in a vortex of secrets.
Whether it was Bai Ze or Li Jia, things had long since spiraled out of his control, and even if he wanted to extricate himself, he was powerless to do so.
not to mention.
If Bai Ze's prophecy to him is true, then the situation does not allow him to escape.
After all, as long as he keeps getting stronger, he will eventually notice his existence when he leaves home. Whether it's a moment earlier or a moment later doesn't really make a big difference.
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Li Liuxin gradually calmed down.
"I never imagined your identity would be exposed. Is this fate...?"
Li Liuxin lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan didn't say anything to disturb her, but let her digest it slowly on her own.
Unexpectedly, after a brief moment of thought, Li Liuxin suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan with a very serious expression.
"Now that you've been drawn into this vortex, there are some things I need to tell you beforehand."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"What is it?"
"The secret about leaving home is also the reason why I've been hunted for so many years."
