If he wanted to ensure Huo Yinghuai's safety, he certainly couldn't act rashly.
But the group was also worried that she would fight them to the death, so after searching their communication devices, Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai were blindfolded.
The two sat in the carriage, with two Taoist priests guarding them.
After an unknown amount of time, the car slowly came to a stop. Wen Li was roughly dragged out of the car, and then the group of people tore off the black cloth bags covering their eyes.
Before me was a small country cottage, large and dilapidated, as if no one had lived there for many years.
This group of people seemed to know the place very well; once they arrived, they started buying groceries and cooking.
Wen Li's hands were tied behind her back, but her hearing was still sharp.
She heard faint sounds of discussion coming from the kitchen: "We should be able to reach the border by tomorrow. With this man around, Wen Li won't dare to act rashly. Once we reunite with the Venerable One, it will be the end for these two!"
"We must make the Venerable One avenge our fallen brothers!"
"These people must be killed!"
The discussion in the kitchen grew increasingly heated, and Huo Yinghuai heard it too.
The group seemed completely unconcerned that the two could hear them; on the contrary, they spoke louder and louder, their tone becoming increasingly excited.
Huo Yinghuai's face was pale. Wen Li touched Huo Yinghuai's forehead with her own and found that the man's body temperature was frighteningly high.
"You have a fever?"
Wen Li then noticed that Huo Yinghuai hadn't changed his clothes since leaving the venue; he was still wearing a well-tailored suit.
There was heating at the company's annual party, and it was also warm when we ate at the hot pot restaurant, but it was freezing cold. It would be strange if Huo Yinghuai didn't catch a cold.
These people mentioned the border, and after figuring out Master Fang's location, Wen Li quickly determined that they were probably on the border of Yunnan Province.
Wen Li thought for a moment and whispered, "Huo Yinghuai, they probably won't be driving tonight. Let's run together tonight."
Huo Yinghuai's face was slightly flushed, but his mind was still relatively clear. He said, "Okay."
After a pause, Huo Yinghuai thought about his current physical condition and knew that if the fever continued, it would probably be a burden on Wen Li. He quickly whispered, "When the time comes, you run away yourself and find someone to come and save me."
“Let’s run together.” Wen Li said firmly, “I sent my location to my dad before we were brought here, so we should be about one foot behind each other.”
What are you talking about?!
Just then, Fei Yunjing walked over and saw Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai huddled together, seemingly whispering something. She immediately became alert and kicked Wen Li, saying, "I'm telling you, don't even think about playing tricks! You don't have any talismans or magical artifacts on you, so you can't escape."
After saying that, Fei Yunjing felt a little uneasy, so she simply had Wen Li tied up like a rice dumpling.
Wen Li lay stiffly on the ground, her eyes filled with speechlessness.
Wen Li said, "My friend has a fever now. I'll give you money to help me buy some fever-reducing medicine."
Fei Yunjing sneered: "It's good that they're burned to death, saving our Venerable One the trouble of dealing with it ourselves."
Wen Li: "If we die halfway through, aren't you afraid your Venerable One will be angry? If I'm not mistaken, your Venerable One wants prisoners alive, right?"
Fei Yunjing's cold laughter stopped, and her smile froze on her face.
He glanced at Huo Yinghuai's condition and hesitated slightly.
The Venerable One did indeed say he wanted the prisoners alive. If they died, it would be difficult to explain when we got back, not to mention that we would be passing through a checkpoint tomorrow, and Huo Yinghuai's appearance would probably make it hard for him to get through.
Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Fei Yunjing immediately had someone buy fever-reducing medicine for Huo Yinghuai.
That night, Fei Yunjing instructed the group to keep a close watch on the two of them, especially Wen Li. They absolutely cannot let her get away!
Those below watched even more closely.
At three in the morning, Huo Yinghuai took the medicine but did not get better. Instead, his mind became more and more confused. They were left on the ground motionless, their bodies numb.
Seeing this, Wen Li knew that she couldn't delay any longer; Huo Yinghuai's condition required immediate medical attention.
Wen Li took out a tiny knife from somewhere and slowly cut the rope with her backhand.
The person guarding outside the door was already dozing off, and Wen Li's movements were so subtle that neither of them noticed.
After Wen Li untied the ropes, she quickly walked up to the two men and slapped them unconscious, then quickly dislocated their arms and jaws.
Wen Li went back and untied Huo Yinghuai's ropes.
Fei Yunjing was still sleeping in the next room, and many people were also sleeping in the cars outside the fence. It could be said that there were layers upon layers of guards.
Wen Li helped Huo Yinghuai up. Huo Yinghuai carefully put his arm around Wen Li's waist. His mind was thinking much slower than usual, but he knew that he absolutely could not fall down at this moment.
Wen Li put the jade pendant that she had been wearing around her neck back on Huo Yinghuai's neck. This was the jade pendant that Wen Li had given to Huo Yinghuai at first, but Huo Yinghuai returned it when he took the college entrance examination.
Now it's on Huo Yinghuai's neck once again.
"Huo Yinghuai, keep this with you at all times; it could save your life in a critical moment."
As they were talking, the two of them quietly slipped out of the courtyard.
The surroundings were quiet, with forests and snow-capped mountains all around. A thick layer of snow covered the ground, making a crunching sound underfoot, but thankfully it wasn't too noticeable.
Just then, the light from the surveillance camera under the eaves turned on.
The entire courtyard was made even whiter by the lights, and Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai stood under the lights.
Huo Yinghuai was the first to react. At this moment, he didn't care about politeness. His cold hands wrapped around Wen Li's waist, causing Wen Li to bend over slightly.
"Hurry up and leave." Huo Yinghuai's voice was low and hoarse, and his breath was warm as he spoke.
Wen Li could feel that Huo Yinghuai's temperature was getting hotter and hotter.
Before anyone noticed them, the two quickened their pace.
Fei Yunjing was suddenly awakened by the light from the surveillance camera outside the window. He walked to the window and looked to the side, only to find that the two grand-disciples guarding Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai were asleep.
Fei Yunjing was angry, but she quickly noticed that something was wrong.
He noticed that the two men's hands were twisted in a very strange position.
Fei Yunjing was startled, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of two moving heads outside the fence.
"not good!"
Fei Yunjing realized something and quickly opened the door to the room. Sure enough, she saw ropes scattered all over the floor next to the square table in the main room.
Fei Yunjing quickly walked to the two disciples and kicked them.
The two disciples quickly woke up, and then they felt a sharp pain in their arms, as if they had no feeling at all, but in fact it was excruciatingly painful, so they immediately cried out.
Fei Yunjing's face darkened instantly. After cursing "useless thing," she shouted, "Wen Li and that man ran away! Chase them!"
Instantly, everyone in the room stood up, and the men in the car got out one by one when they heard the noise.
A Taoist priest stood directly on the roof of the car and immediately spotted Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai, who were frantically fleeing: "They're over there!"
