Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned deeply, his face filled with resolute refusal: "No! This is too dangerous! If your identity is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhao Yuwei disagreed, shaking her head slightly and saying, "Xiao Lang, we have no other choice now. If we don't do this, we won't be able to enter the palace, let alone find Miss Su. Time is of the essence, we can't delay any longer."
Xiao Feng remained silent for a moment, his mind in turmoil.
He was worried about Zhao Yuwei's safety, but he also understood that what she said made sense.
Finally, he sighed and nodded helplessly, saying, "Fine, I'll do as you say. But you must promise me that you will retreat immediately if there is any danger."
A hint of joy flashed in Zhao Yuwei's eyes, and she nodded solemnly in agreement: "Don't worry, I will definitely act carefully."
The two found a secluded spot and waited quietly for their opportunity.
As the two maids delivering the items reached a secluded corner, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei darted behind them like ghosts.
They seized the opportunity and swiftly and cleanly knocked the two maids unconscious.
Afterwards, the two hurriedly picked up the dropped food box, straightened their clothes, whispered a few words of advice to each other, and then cleverly followed the group of maids ahead.
Xiao Feng's heart pounded like a drum, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He whispered to Zhao Yuwei, "Remember, walk with your head down and don't make eye contact with people."
Zhao Yuwei nodded slightly, a hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes.
Along the way, they were careful, imitating the maid's movements and expressions, with their heads down and their steps light.
Every time he passed the guards, Xiao Feng's heart would leap into his throat.
"Halt!" a guard suddenly shouted.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei froze, not daring to look up. The guard approached and scrutinized them closely.
Xiao Feng held his breath, his palms sweating profusely.
Just at this critical moment, the maid in front spoke up: "Sir, this is a new maid who doesn't know the rules yet."
The guard then waved them through.
Fortunately, the guards didn't pay much attention, and the two successfully passed through the layers of guards and infiltrated the Ming Cult's palace.
The moment he stepped into the palace, Xiao Feng let out a long sigh of relief, but immediately tensed up again.
After entering the palace, Xiao Feng, relying on his familiarity with the Ming Cult's layout, navigated the intricate palace buildings, leading Zhao Yuwei towards the direction of Su Xueqing's palace from her memory.
After searching for a while, they finally found Su Xueqing's palace.
However, two guards were already standing at the palace gate, holding long spears and standing tall.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei hid behind a thick pillar, holding their breath and observing the situation.
Suddenly, Su Xueqing's loud voice came from inside the house: "Let me out!"
But the guards at the gate ignored them. One of them impatiently shouted, "What are you shouting for! Behave yourself. Once you're married, you can do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was shocked, his face filled with astonishment. He muttered to himself, "Why is Su Xueqing getting married? What's going on?"
He speculated on all sorts of possibilities.
In order to get into the room, Zhao Yuwei came up with a plan.
She bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it forcefully towards a corner of the yard. The stone landed with a crisp sound.
Upon hearing the noise, the two guards instantly became alert. After exchanging a glance, they took out their spears and headed towards the source of the sound to investigate.
Taking advantage of the guards' absence, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei quickly ran to the window. Working together, they nimbly climbed through the window into Su Xueqing's room.
Xiao Feng's heart was pounding, fearing he would be discovered by the guards.
However, upon entering the room, they found Su Xueqing lying motionless on the bed, repeatedly shouting "Let me out," indicating that her condition seemed somewhat abnormal.
"Miss Su, how are you?" she called softly, her voice full of concern.
Just then, Su Xueqing, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and her gaze fell on Zhao Yuwei.
She tried to speak, but found herself unable to move, and could only use anxious eyes to indicate the abnormality of her body.
Zhao Yuwei, with her keen eye, immediately noticed Su Xueqing's unusual behavior.
Her eyes were sharp as she carefully examined Su Xueqing's body.
Su Xueqing was enveloped in a faint, pale blue halo, within which intricate runes could be vaguely seen flowing.
“This is…” Zhao Yuwei frowned: “The Nine Profound Binding Spirit Curse! What a vicious method!”
She took a deep breath, formed a mudra with her hands, and a faint golden light emanated from her fingertips.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you remove the restriction right away."
Zhao Yuwei was completely focused, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her hands moved in the air, constantly changing intricate hand seals, each movement precise and swift.
Golden and blue light intertwined in the air, emitting a soft "hissing" sound.
Finally, with a crisp "crack" sound, the halo around Su Xueqing shattered abruptly.
She breathed a sigh of relief, her body relaxed, and she finally regained her ability to move.
"Thank you so much for saving me, Sister Yuwei!" Su Xueqing said weakly, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Zhao Yuwei helped her sit up and asked with concern, "Xueqing, what exactly happened? Why were you placed under a restriction and unable to move in bed?"
A flicker of pain crossed Su Xueqing's eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "It's all that despicable Vice Sect Leader's fault! In order to collude with the Blood Sect and expand his own power, he forced me to marry the Blood Sect Leader. I firmly refused, and he became enraged and imprisoned me here, even placing a restriction on me so that I cannot escape."
As she spoke, Su Xueqing's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice was filled with deep grievance.
"I would rather die than submit to those despicable people!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's expression turned solemn, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes burned with anger.
"This cult leader has gone too far! How could he do such a despicable thing!"
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Xueqing with a firm gaze and said, "Miss Su, I have a way to change our current predicament, but I need your help."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Su Xueqing's eyes.
Without hesitation, she said, "No problem, I'll do anything to get out of this predicament."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway. Su Xueqing's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that the two guards had returned.
Her eyes darted around, and in a flash of inspiration, she whispered to Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei, "You two, hide quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei moved with the agility of monkeys, and in a flash, they hid in a dark corner of the room.
Su Xueqing quickly lay back on the bed, pretending that the restrictions on her body had not been lifted, and remained motionless.
She took a deep breath and then raised her voice, shouting, "You two, go and find Wu Hai for me right now. I've made up my mind; I'm going to marry the Blood Sect Master."
