Chapter 230 Aristocratic Young Lady VS Humble Remnant Slave 32
Jiang Qi pursed his lips, pointed to the two lines of small print below, and said quite seriously, "What's written here doesn't count."
The above is not considered valid.
Disobedience should be punished.
These two lines of small characters are clearly in someone else's handwriting.
The second sentence, "Disobedience deserves punishment," was marked with a big X, as if someone had been angered by the sentence and deliberately drew it there.
Jiang Zhiyi ignored him.
She rummaged around and found a pen and ink. She picked up the pen and copied the words down, then handed the pen to him, saying, "Write a couple of sentences and let me see."
After comparing the two people's handwriting, it was found that their handwriting was almost identical to that on the portrait, which further confirmed their identities.
Judging from the portrait and the words on the back of it—she is Jiang Zhiyi, and he is Jiang Qi…the two should still be a loving couple.
"Jiang Qi?" she called out to him.
When Jiang Qi heard her call that name, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He tried to recall something, but his mind was blank. His memories seemed to be locked up, and he couldn't break free of them for the time being.
He said, "Let's figure out a way to get out first."
The two continued searching for the mechanism in the secret room.
Jiang Zhiyi's thoughts drifted away, and she thought about a lot of random things.
"Jiang Qi!" she called out to him.
"What's wrong?" He noticed she seemed agitated.
Jiang Zhiyi's expression turned serious as she said, "I think I've learned something very important..."
Jiang Qi looked at her with a puzzled expression, gesturing for her to continue.
Jiang Zhiyi voiced her suspicions: "Didn't you notice we share the same surname? Perhaps we were deliberately locked up here. I suppose we're siblings, and then we did something... contrary to human ethics and morality, which is why we've been imprisoned!"
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Zhiyi, who was talking nonsense with a straight face. He wanted to refute her, but in the end he shut up, feeling somewhat helpless.
Why is she so silly?
"If you're tired, go rest on the bed over there for a while. I'll find the mechanism." Jiang Qi ignored her.
Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips, thinking, "Fine, I don't believe it, but it's clearly very likely."
Actually, she wasn't talking nonsense. She had a feeling that many people wanted them to break up.
...
Five days passed quickly.
The mechanisms in this secret chamber are so well hidden that there's not a trace of them at all. Moreover, there should be a restriction here that limits most magical spells.
Jiang Qi tried many methods to break this special restriction, but all of them failed.
Jiang Zhiyi was completely exhausted. She was thirsty and hungry, and huddled there motionless.
"Jiang Qi, I'm so cold..." Jiang Zhiyi hugged herself.
She's really scared now, afraid they'll be trapped here and die.
With her memory completely blank, she felt utterly insecure. Seemingly out of instinct, she subconsciously relied on the only person she saw after waking up.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Qi could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, we'll be out soon."
Jiang Zhiyi: "But we can't find the mechanism, are we going to die here...?"
Not long after, she became still, and it was unclear whether she had fallen asleep or passed out.
Jiang Qi knew that continuing like this was not going to work, and it seemed that he had to take a gamble.
...
On the other side...
Lin Shengzheng arrived with disciples from the Floating Cloud Sect. They had been secretly observing the area for several days, and today he had to bring Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Qi back.
The guards at the entrance stopped them immediately.
Lin Sheng: "I'm here to see my junior sister. Jiang Qi is your master, right? Tell him to come out and see me now."
The guards rushed in to report, but they couldn't find anyone.
The maids said that their master and Miss Jiang had been gone for several days, but no one knew where they had gone.
After discussing it for a while, Jiu Zhan and Qi Yao decided to invite the people from the Floating Cloud Sect in. They knew that Jiang Qi did not want to be enemies with the Floating Cloud Sect.
"Where's my junior sister? And Jiang Qi? Are they deliberately avoiding me?" Lin Sheng asked.
Nine Slashes answered truthfully: "Our master did not tell us where he and Miss Jiang are. They have been gone for several days, and we do not know when they will be back."
Lin Sheng frowned. He didn't believe their explanation and felt that they were deliberately stalling for time.
“Call them out to see me now. Tell them that their master doesn’t necessarily intend to separate them. Once we return to the Floating Cloud Sect, we can discuss this matter properly. They can’t hide outside forever.”
Nine Slashes: "Our master is indeed not here; we have not concealed anything."
Seeing this, Lin Sheng didn't want to say anything more to them, and only said sternly, "If that's the case, then don't blame us for finding the person ourselves."
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense, and the two sides were about to start fighting.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from the direction of the study, as if something had been forcibly blown apart.
Upon seeing this, everyone rushed over.
They found Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Qi embracing each other in the ruins.
Both of them were on the verge of death, their lives hanging by a thread.
Jiang Qi's injuries were particularly severe; his body was covered in tiny wounds, and blood was flowing continuously.
"What are you all standing there for? Go and call the doctor!" someone shouted.
The courtyard was immediately thrown into chaos.
