Did he really think she was stupid?! If she really walked out of the door, the prefect might have ordered people to surround her on the spot.
Lu Yunxi curled the corners of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Sir, let me ask you, did we know each other before? Why did you send people to chase..."
"Bang—"
Before he could finish his words, the closed door was suddenly broken, and several masked men in black rushed in, with swords in their hands flashing coldly.
Lu Yunxi's expression changed.
Where did Shen San go?! So many people broke in, and he still hadn't noticed?!
"Quick! Kill her!" The Wuzhou prefect hid in a corner and pointed at her and yelled.
Almost instantly, Lu Yunxi pulled out the sword stuck in the bed and started fighting with the man in black.
However, as soon as the fight started, she realized something was wrong.
There are guards in the prefect's house. They can enter without any trace because they are strong enough. The guards are only about level ten, which is the level of just leaving the novice village. Naturally, they cannot detect any trace of them.
But this group of men in black are all at level 60, which can be said to be among the strongest in this continent.
Lu Yunxi's face darkened slightly, and he became more and more suspicious of the Wuzhou prefect.
For an average prefect, it would be considered very lucky if he had one or two people at level 50 or 60 among his retainers.
Although Lu Yunxi was strong enough, there were too many people on the opposite side. As the ants could kill the elephant, she watched the black-clothed men coming up continuously, fighting and retreating, wanting to leave the house.
The space here was too small. She hit the candlesticks and the table. The cups and plates were broken into pieces on the floor and the curtains were torn. She couldn't do anything even if she wanted to.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved behind the door, someone grabbed her right arm.
Lu Yunxi's face darkened and he thrust his left hand back fiercely, but was stopped by someone.
“Master, it’s me! Let’s leave here first!” Shen San’s voice came from behind.
She didn't say anything more, followed his force, and quickly evacuated the prefect's residence.
Fortunately, after they left the prefect's residence, they didn't run far before the men in black stopped chasing them.
The two of them circled a few more times, making sure they had gotten rid of the people behind them, and then found a place to rest.
"Master, are you not hurt?" Shen San asked immediately.
"I'm fine, how about you?" Lu Yunxi immediately used a detection spell to confirm that he was not injured, and then she felt relieved. "Have you found any clues as to why he is chasing us?"
“No, I…” Shen San hesitated for a moment before looking at her, “Master, I went to his study, but his study was very strange, there was nothing in it.”
"What do you mean by nothing?" She raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"His study is very strange. Although there is a bookshelf and all kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstone in it, they all look new. No one has ever been in there, let alone any secret letters or the like." If he had not walked all over the prefectural residence, he would have thought he had taken the wrong path.
Lu Yunxi paused and fell into deep thought.
*
The two of them walked casually in deep thought, and unknowingly came to the place where Master Cui was tied up before.
He had just woken up and was looking at the wild wolf outside through the protective shield.
He wanted to scream, but perhaps because he was too frightened, he couldn't make a sound. He could only stare at the sleek wolf with his eyes wide open and his mouth open.
Lu Yunxi and Shen Sandan paused, and immediately stepped forward to help.
Shen San acted faster, after all, his weapon was at hand, and Lu Yunxi had lost the sword he had picked up from somewhere.
Blood splattered.
When Master Cui saw this scene, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Lu Yunxi wordlessly removed the protective shield and felt relieved only after taking the patient's pulse carefully.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Cui was so timid that he fainted from fright." In this way, he didn't look like someone who would be sent by the prefect.
The two of them thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they simply took Mr. Cui with them and returned to Cui Shishi.
Unexpectedly, when she saw Master Cui, Cui Shishi was shocked: "Second brother?!"
"Second brother?" Lu Yunxi repeated, a little surprised.
Is this really a coincidence? They are a family?!
Cui Shishi nodded: "He is my second brother, Miss Lu, where did you find him?"
Lu Yunxi was silent for a while, then she turned her wrist, flicked her fingertips, and the mantra pill in her hand shot into her mouth.
"Hah! Miss Lu, what you just gave me..." Cui Shishi's eyes became empty before she finished her words.
Lu Yunxi took the opportunity to ask about the things he suspected, and surprisingly, what Cui Shishi said was true and she did not lie. Moreover, she did not even know that the Wuzhou prefect was causing trouble for the Cui family.
She then fed a truth pill to Mr. Cui next to her and found that this man was not lying either.
He and Cui Shishi even went missing on the same day. It was just that Guan's car was in front, and Guan's car was behind, and they were too far away to see clearly, so Cui Shishi thought everyone else had gotten in the car and she was the only one lost.
Fortunately, Mr. Cui was a man after all, and he was fast on his feet. He arrived here earlier than Cui Shishi. At that time, the prefect was not on guard yet, and he had already figured out the situation around him.
After feeding them some amnesia pills, they forgot what had just happened and fainted.
*
"What?! Why did the Wuzhou prefect want to kill us?!"
Master Cui and Cui Shishi had forgotten what happened in the past few days. Lu Yunxi and Shen San found an excuse to smooth things over and mentioned the matter of the Wuzhou prefect.
