Little did they know that they had become tools in Jiang Lie's hands.
Jiang Lie did not leave immediately after leaving the room.
He left with a cold laugh only after hearing the incessant screams from inside.
...
On the other side.
Jian Yixue and her group had already driven to the vicinity of Shennong Pavilion, and everyone immediately got out of the car.
Because the road ends here, vehicles cannot pass through the area further in, so you can only walk.
After getting off the bus, Dongfang Tinglan looked around at the familiar scenes that filled her with fond memories.
Here, there is the bond between her and her master, the camaraderie between her and her fellow disciples, and above all, her thirst for knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine.
She spent countless happy and carefree days here.
The surrounding mountains and rivers evoked painful memories for her, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
Gong Beize stood beside her, placing his hand on her shoulder in silent comfort.
Ye Mohan decisively ordered his men to set up camp on the spot, while he and Jian Yixue decided to explore the area first.
Ideally, they could rescue Lemon without losing a single soldier. Only when Lemon returned could they act without any scruples.
Otherwise, if a real fight breaks out, we might be at the mercy of others at every turn.
Jian Yixue and Ding Yi, along with Dongfang Yi, arrived at the small hole they had escaped from earlier.
Jian Yixue looked down and then said to Ding Yi and the other person, "Too many people will attract too much attention and be easily discovered. Mo Han and I will go down and take a look first. You two wait for me here."
Dongfang Yi wanted to say something, but seeing Jian Yixue's uncompromising expression, he immediately shut his mouth.
Jian Yixue and Gong Beize followed the cave entrance to the underground palace. Even though it was underground, their ancestors were so wise that they could still see sunlight during the day and distinguish between day and night.
They hid in a corner and looked at the palace map drawn by Ding Yi, and soon found Qu Rui's room.
When the two arrived, they saw the guards at the door.
The two exchanged a glance. Jian Yixue had a thought and produced a medicine bottle from her bag. She lit the powder inside, and a fragrance of indistinguishable flowers filled the air, which Ye Mohan found exceptionally pleasant.
But soon, Ye Mohan realized something was wrong. He knew that what Jian Yixue was taking out at this time was definitely not good, so he immediately covered his mouth.
Fortunately, it was in time, and Ye Mohan was not caught in the trap.
After Jian Yixue finished doing everything, she took out two pills, one for each person.
Ye Mohan swallowed it without even asking any questions.
Jian Yixue nodded in satisfaction and then ate it as well.
But the people at the door weren't so lucky. They smelled the fragrance in the air and thought it smelled wonderful. After smelling it a few more times, they immediately collapsed to the ground.
With quick reflexes and a thought, Jian Yixue vanished from the doorway.
Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan then entered the space as well.
Inside the space, Jian Yixue fed the group an even heavier dose of sleeping pills.
Unless she gives him the antidote, he will never wake up.
After Jian Yixue finished everything, she returned to the real world.
Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan quickly arrived at the door, listened carefully to the sounds inside, and then Jian Yixue shook her head at Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan immediately understood, and then carefully pushed open the door and went inside.
As soon as she entered, Jian Yixue spotted Qu Rui lying on the bed, her clothes disheveled. She immediately covered Ye Mohan's eyes and whispered, "Don't look!"
Ye Mohan looked bewildered, then realized what was happening and chuckled helplessly, "I won't look, Xue'er."
“I’ll turn around, and you get me an eye mask so I can put it on.”
Ye Mohan suggested.
Jian Yixue thought about it and decided it was feasible, so she took out the eye mask she had prepared for him.
Just as they finished setting everything up, they suddenly heard a sound at the door.
"Huh, where did everyone go?"
No sooner had the words been spoken than the sound of the door opening was heard.
The visitor was Jiang Lie, who had just returned from Yan Yuan's place. Looking at Qu Rui, who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, he sat at the tea table and pondered.
Meanwhile, Jian Yixue and the other person who were originally in the room were now back in the space.
In front of them was a projection screen made of gaseous material, showing the scene outside.
Jian Yixue asked in surprise, "Jiang Lie is still alive?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan said, "It must have been Qu Rui who saved him."
Jian Yixue nodded, not thinking anything of Jiang Lie's appearance.
In this day and age, there are always some privileges that supersede the law.
Jian Yixue frowned and said, "Now that's great, I wonder when we can get out."
Because of the spatial design, once they enter, they will return to the same location, so at this point, they cannot leave even if they want to.
Ye Mohan said, "It's alright, we'll just wait."
Knowing she didn't know when they could leave, Jian Yixue could only force herself to be patient. She had Mengbao pick some fruit, and the two of them sat there watching the projection.
Inside the room, while Jiang Lie was still pondering, Qu Rui woke up on the bed.
Seeing Jiang Lie lost in thought, she walked over without a care in the world.
Inside the space, Jian Yixue was so frightened that she dropped the apple and hurriedly tried to cover Ye Mohan's eyes.
Because the image had been fixed on Jiang Lie, she asked Ye Mohan to remove the blindfold.
Ye Mohan was faster than Jian Yixue. Before she could cover up, Ye Mohan subconsciously turned his head and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Mohan heard Jian Yixue's voice and chuckled, "I told you I wouldn't see it, Xue'er."
Jian Yixue: "That's good."
Suddenly, Ye Mohan seemed to remember something and frowned, saying, "You shouldn't look either."
"Why?" Jian Yixue asked, puzzled. "If you don't come and I don't watch, how will anyone know what happened?"
Ye Mohan said, "We can listen; whether we see or not is unimportant."
Finally, Jian Yixue couldn't persuade Ye Mohan otherwise, so the two of them turned their backs to the projector and listened.
Inside the room, Qu Rui walked up behind Jiang Lie, her voice so cheesy it gave one goosebumps.
"Ah Lie, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie quickly snapped out of his thoughts, looked at Qu Rui, and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, it's just that my people received news that the Outer Protector seems to have encountered trouble in Saint Namer County?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Rui's expression changed drastically. "What's going on?" she asked.
Jiang Lie told Qu Rui half the truth and half the lie, and Qu Rui was furious when she found out.
"She actually dared to come back! Did she really think I would let her off the hook again and again! If she hadn't been in Lancheng before, which isn't our territory, I would have already taken action! This time, I'm going to make sure she doesn't leave alive!"
Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Where is Yan Yuan! Tell him to get to me!"
