Jiang Li didn't know how long she had been waiting...
It feels like the four seasons have gone through their cycle outside...
He hadn't even been summoned for questioning yet.
Fortunately, Jiang Li was alright. She had her own storage space with food and drink, so it didn't feel like she was in prison at all.
But Chu Yunjie on the other side was in a pitiful situation.
He was just an ordinary person, with no treasures on him, no food, and absolutely no drink.
He felt so thirsty that his throat was on fire.
"Jiang Li..." Chu Yunjie called out to Jiang Li weakly.
Jiang Li looked over blankly, "What are you shouting about?"
"What time is it?" Chu Yunjie asked, sounding aggrieved. "It feels like so much time has passed. Time has been dragging on for ages."
No entertainment, no cell phones, no television, nothing at all...
As time passes...
It's been so long.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Jiang Li rolled her eyes. "It feels like a century has passed, but is that something I can even perceive?"
"You're right," Chu Yunjie replied sullenly, then added, "I really regret it now..."
"Regret what?" Jiang Li seemed to suddenly become interested.
"I regret arguing with Lu Shiyan, I regret running ahead without thinking, which led me to this predicament..." Chu Yunjie said, then added with a grateful expression, "And I even dragged you here to save me... Waaah... If the two of us can't leave here alive, I'll feel so guilty..."
"Stop!" Jiang Li's lips twitched. "Don't worry, even if we're going to die, it will be you who dies. I will definitely live a good life..."
Chu Yunjie: "..."
"Besides..." Jiang Li seemed to have thought of something, her expression becoming somewhat complicated, and her voice lowered, "We didn't come here specifically to save you without any regard for our safety..."
Although Chu Yunjie definitely needed to be saved, their original intention was to make a better plan before attempting to rescue him.
However, due to an unexpected situation, so...
They were forced to come here out of desperation.
Although it is indeed to save Chu Yunjie, there are still significant differences in their underlying nature.
after all……
Now, save Chu Yunjie...
Just by chance.
Chu Yunjie didn't hear Jiang Li's last sentence clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Li, what did you just say? I didn't hear you..."
"I didn't say anything, I just mumbled a few words, nothing important, it won't matter if you don't hear it..." Jiang Li said, then suddenly showed a curious expression, "Wasn't it said that you were the assassin who tried to kill the Imperial Advisor? What exactly happened?"
With Chu Yunjie's small frame, how could he possibly assassinate someone?
Are you kidding me?
Chu Yunjie's expression turned grief-stricken as he recalled the incident. "I fell from the sky and almost hit the Imperial Advisor. Then, for some reason, several more stones appeared, which were used as projectiles, and I..."
Jiang Li: "..."
It seems this conversation is going nowhere.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her fault.
So Jiang Li pretended not to know how to respond and started staring blankly in a certain direction.
The light coming through the window in the cell wall was getting dimmer, indicating that it was getting later and later.
so……
Do they still have a chance to see that so-called national advisor today?
Just then, several people rushed in.
The guard immediately bowed to the other party.
"The Grand Preceptor wants to see the two assassins we captured today. Where are they?" the leader asked.
The guard immediately pointed to Jiang Li and Chu Yunjie, "They're both sitting here obediently. I'll open the cell door right now and let the magistrate take them away."
Soon, the cell door was opened.
Two guards entered a cell and escorted Chu Yunjie and Jiang Li out.
Chu Yunjie remained silent, clearly having given up on communicating with them.
Jiang Li didn't speak either. Unlike Chu Yunjie's helplessness, she was conserving her energy, organizing her thoughts, and thinking about what to say later.
Sometimes, the way you speak is also very important.
The meaning is the same, but if you say it differently, it will have a different effect.
This Imperial Preceptor's residence is truly enormous.
It's even bigger than their sect.
It's so winding and confusing, it makes your head spin.
finally……
Just when Chu Yunjie was about to collapse and declare himself on strike...
They finally arrived at their destination.
The two people entered the main hall.
There was a person sitting at the head of the table.
The person was dressed in white, and even though their face was obscured, their figure and aura alone were enough to tell them who they were...
He was definitely a man of exceptional charisma.
When they got closer...
When I could clearly see that face...
Jiang Li's lips twitched involuntarily.
Oh.
She was absolutely right; the man was indeed very handsome.
Beautiful...
She's almost tired of seeing it.
That's right...
The person in front of me looks about 80% like Lu Shiyan; if you don't look closely...
If you said the two people were the same person, some people would believe you.
But Jiang Li was able to tell the two people apart.
It's not so much because of the styling and outfit, it's really...
It can be clearly distinguished.
"Grand Preceptor?" Jiang Li gave a strange look.
"You've arrived?" The Grand Preceptor's voice was neither sad nor happy, as detached as that of an immortal detached from desires. "Sit down."
Jiang Li: "???"
What's going on?
Didn't the Imperial Advisor think they were assassins?
Now that they've arrived, instead of interrogating them first, he actually let them sit down?
Is that so polite?
this……
It was truly beyond Jiang Li's comprehension.
But then the plot twist happened...
This surprised Jiang Li and Chu Yunjie even more.
This person...
Is everything really okay?
After he sat down, the Grand Preceptor had tea and pastries served to him, as if he were entertaining a guest.
Hey hey hey...
Have you forgotten that the two people in front of you are the ones you consider assassins?
It's really strange to treat your prisoner like this.
But Jiang Li didn't stand on ceremony; she drank whatever was offered and ate whatever was offered.
If you don't eat or drink, you're the one who's suffering.
After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Li simply slumped back, completely disregarding her image.
That slight tilt could be disastrous...
Jiang Li's gaze fell on a certain spot, and for a moment she doubted her own eyes.
Was she hallucinating?
Thinking like this...
Jiang Li raised her hand and rubbed her eyes again.
Um……
The hallucination didn't disappear; what she saw was still there.
"Ayan!" Jiang Li almost shouted.
But not wanting to make the same mistake as Chu Yunjie, Jiang Li immediately covered her mouth.
But the other person seemed to have heard Jiang Li's voice. His unfocused eyes immediately turned over, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
The next second...
He floated down in front of Jiang Li.
That's right!!!
It's just floating!!!
Jiang Li: "???"
No way...
A thousand thoughts flashed through Jiang Li's mind in an instant, and each thought sent a chill down her spine.
Could it be that the Imperial Advisor saw Ayan and thought he looked similar to himself...?
So, why not just kill Ayan?
The thought that Lu Shiyan might be dead, and that what was in front of her now was Lu Shiyan's soul, made Jiang Li's violent aura almost uncontrollable.
Just as Jiang Li was about to lose control and take action...
Lu Shiyan floated in front of Jiang Li and reached out to grasp Jiang Li's hand, which was about to launch an attack.
