“Perfect timing, we don’t have any good hostages at hand.” Xu Yiran smiled, indicating her satisfaction.
"Xu Yiran, you're crazy! Didn't you love Nan Lingqin the most? Didn't you only care about her? Why did you do this in the end? Didn't you know that he was looking for the Underworld all along? If you were that kind of person, you could have said it back then. Why didn't you say it? Why didn't you?"
"I don't want to say, is that not allowed?"
Xu Yiran looked at the furious Liu Yunzhou, lifted her arm and swung it behind her, causing Liu Yunzhou to roll over on the spot and wince in pain.
He was a scholar, not skilled in martial arts, and at this moment, driven by a surge of energy, he was neither afraid of death nor pain.
"What has she done to wrong you? Apart from not loving you, what has she done to deserve this? If she finds out about this and comes back to see this, how will she feel? Where will her trust be placed?"
"How can this be? Trust?"
Xu Yiran smiled, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at the sky.
The snow was still falling, landing in the palace, turning into water as it approached him, but then falling all over Liu Yunzhou and Consort Shu.
"Yes, you know how much I love her. I let her do whatever she wanted and helped her achieve whatever she wanted. But in the end, she just left with Yuwen Yao. You know, I don't have a place in her heart. All those so-called family members she talked about were fake, fake."
Liu Yunzhou suddenly fell silent as he listened to Xu Yiran's accusatory remarks.
What is love in this world? Only those who have truly experienced it can understand.
Although his love lasted only a few days, and the person he loved died innocently, he knew that she would remain in his memory for the rest of his life.
But……
“Nan Lingqin is good to you; he treats you like family.”
"Stop talking, or I'll make you shut up." Xu Yiran suddenly looked at Liu Yunzhou with a cold gaze, the once clear river in her eyes turning into a deep hell.
“You know, the best way to shut someone up is to kill them,” he said.
Liu Yunzhou was not afraid of death. He was dressed in fine clothes and looked furious, but the Consort Shu tugged at Liu Yunzhou's sleeve, fearing that he would anger Xu Yiran and immediately bring about his death.
Someone came up and took Liu Yunzhou and Consort Shu away. As for the palace maids and eunuchs who were already trembling with fear and unable to breathe, they were all killed with swift strokes.
The methods used by the King of Hell are always so bloody.
...
Suanpizi was badly injured by Xu Yiran when he fled. Looking at the bright moonlight, he felt like he was about to collapse, but luckily he met Baiyu.
"Palm tree..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was already about to fall forward.
Bai Yu stepped forward and, together with Bai Yu, helped Suan Pi Zi up, quickly disappearing from the spot.
"Brother, what should we do now? The capital is being watched from all sides, and we can't get out at all," Bai Ling whispered.
Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then thought for a moment and looked at Bai Ling, "Go and inform your sister-in-law that we are going to risk leaving the city."
"My sister-in-law... sister-in-law."
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and inform Sister-in-law Nie right away."
"Wait a minute." Bai Ling had just taken a step when Suan Pizi stopped her. He looked terrible, and his thin face was sunken in the eye sockets.
“Young Master is no ordinary man. At this time, not only is the capital's defense impregnable, but he must also have considered that whether you do not want to add burden to Miss Lingqin or just want to escape, you will risk leaving the city. Rather than that, it is better to put them to death.” Suanpizi took a deep breath and said, “The most dangerous place is often the safest, and Young Master would never think of such a place.”
"What do you mean?" Bai Yu seemed to understand something, raising an eyebrow slightly.
“When Miss Lingqin was driven out of the capital by the Northern Emperor, everyone in the Heavenly Mystery Hall also evacuated from key points in the capital. No one has returned since. We can go there to take refuge temporarily.”
Hearing Suanpizi's words, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Bai Ling, "Let's go, call your sister-in-law."
The group quickly reunited with Nie Zuier and headed straight for the Heavenly Mystery Hall.
It was the same big tree, but the surrounding area was desolate and no one was guarding it anymore. The four of them easily entered the Heavenly Mystery Hall.
After walking through a long, dark passage, the path was deserted, and suddenly a vast expanse of misty clouds opened up before us, with lush green trees reaching for the sky.
“Let’s go up there, to the top of the mountain. That’s where the library is, and there are still many messages there. It also connects to another way out, so even if we are discovered, we can escape immediately.”
"I'll listen to you."
The four of them climbed straight to the top of the mountain. All around was quiet and still, and the clouds and mist seemed within reach.
"Wait, hide."
Suddenly, Suanpizi waved his hand, and the four of them quickly hid in the shadows.
"What's going on?"
Bai Yu stared at Suanpizi, because he couldn't sense anything amiss.
"wrong."
Suanpizi gritted his teeth, frowned, and shook his head. "Someone has been here before."
"who?"
“I don’t know, but I’ve known Young Master Xu for a long time. I’ve been here for almost ten years, and I know every flower and every object here very well. I know exactly what was moved when we were evacuated, and I know whether any of the film was damaged. But look around here, there are footprints, as if they were left not long ago.”
"Could it be that your young master came by?"
"Won't."
Suanpizi shook his head, "I've been following you, young master, so..."
“Anything is possible, isn’t it? Otherwise, why would your young master rebel, especially given his status as the Second Elder of the Yan Palace?” Nie Zuier spoke up, her face beaming with smiles that seemed to instantly dispel the chill in the air and the snowflakes that were about to fall again.
