Liuli glanced at Liang Yihan through the iron bars, then looked down at Lingxi and whispered, "Lingxi."
Lingxi slowly raised her head and whispered, "Sister."
Liuli lowered her voice and said, "Lingxi, after a while, you will have Liang Yihan release you. After you go out, go find Li Molin and ask him to bring people to rescue us. Tell him that I, Liuli, am indebted to him and will repay him in the future."
While in the cave, Liuli hesitated about whether to ask Li Molin for help. She owed him so much, so much that she couldn't feel at ease. But now, she really had no other choice. She wasn't afraid of death, but the annihilation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was still unavenged, and the Buddhist monks were still alive and well. She was unwilling to die like this.
The only option is to ask Li Molin for help. As for the debt I owe him... I'll find a way to repay it another day.
“But…” Lingxi frowned.
Liu Li looked down at her and said in a low voice, "Silly girl, why didn't you go out when you could escape? Even if you didn't go to find Li Molin, you could have escaped on your own. Why did you have to die with us?"
Lingxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I..."
"Lingxi!" Langyuan suddenly interrupted Lingxi.
Lingxi turned to look at Langyuan, whose face was grim. He said in a deep voice, "Think about how your parents saved your life and the only bloodline of the Spirit Cat Clan. Do you really want to give up your life so easily?"
Lingxi's face changed, her eyes lowered in deep thought. After a long while, she hesitated before looking up at Liuli and said, "But Liang Yihan said he's going to torture my sister. If... if I were here..."
Liu Li sneered, "Liang Yihan is determined to obtain the divine stone. Even if you are here, he will not go easy on me. Hurry up and leave. If you can find reinforcements after you leave, perhaps we will still have a chance to survive."
“…Okay.” Lingxi nodded, her gaze firm, and said, “Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely find someone to rescue you.”
Liuli was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Be careful. If you can save us, then do so. If you can't, then run for your own life. Don't feel any burden. You don't owe us anything."
“Sister…” Lingxi was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with tears that were about to fall. A smile appeared on her lips as she said, “Sister, I know you still care about me. Thank you.”
Liuli frowned slightly. Concern? What is concern, and why should she care about her? She has absolutely no connection with her.
After a pause, she frowned and said, "Never mind, you should leave now."
Lingxi nodded, then turned to look at Liang Yihan outside through the iron bars. She opened her mouth to call out to him but hesitated for a moment before calling out, "Liang Yihan!"
Upon hearing Lingxi's voice, Liang Yihan felt a sense of relief. A smile appeared on his lips as he opened his eyes and turned to look in Lingxi's direction.
"Young man!"
Liang Yihan turned his head halfway when a surprised female voice suddenly came from outside the cell. Then the stone door of the cell made a sound, and a woman flashed into the cell. She said with a look of surprise, "You little rascal, Han! I heard you caught the spirit cat. Where is it? Where is it?"
When Liang Yihan slowly turned around and saw the woman in front of him, his expression changed. He couldn't maintain his composure; his lips trembled as he tried to force a smile, but he couldn't manage it, making his expression even more unsightly than crying. He lowered his head deeply, trying to steady his breathing and conceal his unease and panic, remaining silent for a long time.
"Han'er?" Liu Lingying knew something about Liang Yihan's connection with the spirit cat, but she thought that since Liang Yihan had personally captured the spirit cat and brought it up the mountain, he might have already let go of his feelings for the spirit cat and wanted to take the credit for capturing the spirit cat himself. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
After a long while, Liang Yihan raised his head and forced a smile, "Ying... Aunt Ying..."
Liu Lingying frowned and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, Han'er, if you don't want to laugh, then don't. Your laughter is uglier than crying."
Liang Yihan lost his smile, his face turning extremely pale. He slowly stood up, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Uncle Ying, I have never asked you for anything since I came up the mountain. Now, I want to ask you for something."
Liu Lingying shook her head and said, "Don't say anything more. I know what you want to say. If it were before, I might have agreed not to use this spirit cat's inner core in the medicine, but now... Han'er, I also have my reasons. I'm sorry."
She turned to look into the cell, and when she saw Liuli, she paused, puzzled, and said, "That's... the girl next to Lin'er..."
She turned to look at Liang Yihan and asked, "Han'er, what is she doing here?"
Liang Yihan was still worried about Lingxi. He lowered his eyes, wondering if there was any room for maneuver, and didn't hear Liu Lingying's words at all.
Liu Lingying then raised her voice and asked again, "Han'er, is she the fox demon who has been causing so much trouble in Buddhism these past few days? How come she's here?"
“Uh…” Liang Yihan came back to his senses. His mind was still on other things, and he casually replied, “That fox demon has a divine stone on her. I used my methods to capture her back for the divine stone.”
Liu Lingying wasn't very clear about Li Molin's feelings for Liuli, but she knew a little bit. She was silent for a moment, then said, "If you get the divine stone, then release her."
"We'll talk about that later." Liang Yihan frowned, his voice earnest, and said, "Uncle-Master, that spirit cat..."
"Enough!" Liu Lingying interrupted him, saying, "Han'er, the spirit cat's inner core must be used in medicine. The only thing I can do is to attribute this great achievement to you, paving a smooth road for you to take over as sect leader in the future. There is nothing else I can do."
