The world is shocked by 81. Escaping difficulties and saving people

  Escape and rescue people

  Is it easy to rescue people from trouble?

  Before long, Le Jiang's footsteps sounded again. Le Jiang, who had returned to the room with a gloomy face, threw a small wooden box at Old Master Liang and said: "I have ordered people to get rid of those four people. You got what you wanted, I'll send someone to take you to Nanzhao City later." Old Master Liang opened the box, looked at it, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Good, since that's the case, we won't waste any more time. Where is my steward and bodyguard?" Le Jiang snorted disdainfully and said: "Your steward is still unable to walk due to a weak leg. As for your bodyguard, he fell off the cliff when we came down. People from Central Plains are just useless!"

  "You!" Mr. Liang suppressed his anger and said, "I know, take me to Nanzhao as soon as possible."

  "Very good." Le Jiang nodded in satisfaction: "You rest first, and we'll set off later."

  Outside the temple, Ye Li glanced at Han Mingxi. Han Mingxi silently shook his head. At the bottom of the cliff, there were indeed many corpses, but they were all white bones that had been blown by the wind and rain for many days, and there was no corpse of Zheng Kui. It's likely that Zheng Kui didn't fall off the cliff, but was handled by these Nanjiang people.

  The sick book didn't rush to do anything to Mr. Liang, because the two southern border people who were poisoned by the sick book had already been discovered. The originally quiet tomb suddenly became noisy. Mr. Liang left under the protection of the heavy guards, and Ye Li and others could only disperse and hide to avoid the search of the guards. An San naturally followed Ye Li, and Han Mingxi had no choice but to reluctantly follow the sick book.

  "Your Highness, we..."?

  Ye Li shook her head and said, "Let's not leave yet, let's take a look inside." Without the hindrance of Bing Sheng and Han Mingxi, the two of them moved more freely. They carefully made their way deep into the underground palace. The underground palace wasn't very large, divided into only seven or eight rooms. After searching through several rooms, they didn't find anything useful, and finally set their sights on the room at the deepest part of the palace. Unlike the other rooms, this room had a tightly closed door with two Southern Barbarian guards standing at the entrance, armed with weapons. Ye Li glanced at An Three, and skillfully made a hand gesture: You left, I right!

  An Three nodded silently, and the two of them quietly approached the entrance, then simultaneously took down the two guards. An Three silently broke the necks of his opponents, while Ye Li looked at the unconscious person in her hand, furrowed her brow and put him aside to hide. She examined the lock on the gate, furrowed her brow again, and pulled out a golden hairpin from her sleeve, which had a sharp and pointed gold needle inside. With a few twists of the needle in the keyhole, the large lock clicked open. Ye Li nodded at An Three in the dark, pushed open the door and slipped inside. An Three vigilantly crouched in the shadows, watching for any movement around him. After a while, Ye Li flashed out from inside again and relocked the gate.

  Because of the previous attraction of Han Mingxu and Bing Sheng, Ye Li and An San felt that there were significantly fewer people searching for them. Along the way, following the marks left by Han Mingxu in secret, the two saw the bright light at the entrance of the cave in less than half a minute. However, at the same time, they smelled the dangerous floral scent coming from outside when they were still some distance away from the entrance, which was exactly the same as the scent on the mountain. An San took out several pellets of medicine from his pocket and handed them to Ye Li, who crushed them and put them under her nose to smell. She smiled softly and said, "Where did you get this from Bing Sheng?" Without outsiders present, An San's expression became more vivid. He smiled slightly smugly and said, "Not bad, he had too many poisonous medicines on him. I was afraid of making a mistake, so I didn't dare take much. This is the kind of medicine he gave us before. It should last for about an hour and a half."

  "It's great." The two of them took a moment to take the medicine, and then An San led the way on horseback to the entrance of the cave. After taking a look around, he beckoned Ye Li over with his hand. The two of them carefully emerged from the cave entrance but were stunned by the scene before their eyes - a vast expanse of bright red color stretching out as far as the eye could see. The entrance was located at the foot of the cliff, less than two meters high, and in the valley below, countless large red flowers bloomed, with almost every stem coiled around a red-and-black striped snake. Some were even crawling on the branches of the flowers. Ye Li finally understood why Han Ming had come down earlier and couldn't help but curse out loud. This place was truly terrifying, making one's bones chill to the core. But considering the exit was located in such a perilous location, it wasn't arrogant for the people of Nanjiang not to underestimate the guards' vigilance.

  "Can we pass?" Ye Li pointed at the opposite mountain ridge and asked.

  An Qi looked and nodded: "Should be no problem."

  "Be careful, if you fall down, no one can save your life." As soon as you fall into the sea of flowers, it's likely that in an instant, these flowers and snakes will swallow you whole, leaving no bones behind. An San furrowed his brow and said: "How are we going to get across?" He could use his lightness skill to fly over, but bringing someone else would be impossible. The young master's lightness skill probably wouldn't even be enough for him to fly over himself. The terrain here is too low, and using a rope isn't feasible either. If you're not careful, there's also the possibility of being bitten by those snakes that could pop up at any moment. Ye Li sighed helplessly: "This broken place really gives me a headache, but if we can get out, this adventure will be worth it. You go first, I'll take another route."

  Anzi didn't move, although he knew the queen was formidable, but he really couldn't see any other way out. Staying here all the time wasn't safe either, although there was no one here now, it didn't mean that no one would come forever.

  Looking at An San's stubborn expression, Ye Li waved her hand helplessly and said: "Forget it. I'll go first, you stay here and watch. After I've gone, you can follow. I really don't know why you're being so stubborn." An San replied in a low voice: "We are the young master's dark guards, of course we should prioritize the young master's safety." Ye Li rolled her eyes heavenward, "Thanks. If you could have more faith in me, that would be better."

  Until the sky gradually darkened, Ye Li crawled out of the cave entrance and climbed up the mountain cliff with the dagger in his hand. Before he had climbed a short distance, he lowered his head to look at An San who was following behind him and asked: "What are you doing?" An San replied in a low voice: "I'm following Young Master."

  "You think I want to do this? If I had your agility, I would have gone over directly." Glaring at An San with a bad temper, Ye Li continued to climb up. An San had already arrived by Ye Li's side and said, "This cliff is at least over a hundred zhang high, Young Master wanting to climb up directly might be a bit difficult." Ye Li laughed in a low voice, "Who says I want to climb all the way up? Just a little further will do. Where there is a protruding rock, that's where we'll go." An San looked at a not-too-small protruding rock not far above and nodded, saying, "I understand. Young Master, I'll go first."

  "Be careful." Yeli reminded.

  An San nodded slightly, and with a push of his left foot on the cliff wall, he shot out, but possibly due to his previous climbing posture, he showed signs of exhaustion when flying in mid-air. Although they could borrow force from the flowers below, if they were bitten by snakes, they wouldn't be able to find an antidote now. Ye Li cursed under her breath and threw the dagger in her left hand at An San's feet. An San was propelled into the air again by the dagger and landed on the opposite mountain slope after a few ups and downs. Losing one dagger, Ye Li spent some effort to climb onto the protruding rock on the cliff wall. The rock wasn't big, and even Ye Li could only barely stand with her back against the cliff wall. This should be a piece of giant stone that grew out of the mountain. After stabilizing herself on the rock, Ye Li took a deep breath before taking out the rope from her package, fixing one end to her sleeve arrow and shooting it towards the opposite side.

  The person opposite caught one end of the rope and secured it in place, then tugged on the rope to signal to Ye Li that they were ready. Ye Li also found a place to secure her end, pulled hard on the rope before grasping it firmly and sliding down along its length.

  "Master!" Seeing Ye Li land safely, An San secretly let out a sigh of relief. Ye Li patted his clothes and said: "Let's go. This should be the back mountain of the village where we used to live, and from here we should be able to find a way out." An San nodded, following behind Ye Li, saying: "Master, I remember what this place is now. This is Snake Valley."

  "Snake Valley?"

  An nodded three times and said, "There are some seniors in the Dark Guard who followed the King to conquer the South Border. It's said that there is a Snake Valley in the South Border where red snake venom flowers bloom. However, it's said that the King burned the Snake Valley clean with fire back then, but unexpectedly, it has recovered in less than ten years. But...the location seems off. The Snake Valley should be in the southwest of the South Border. How can it be so close to Shattered Snow Pass?" Ye Lian shook her head and said, "This place must have been deliberately created by someone. You didn't notice that all the snake venom flowers are arranged in rows, and even the distance between each one is almost identical. It's absolutely not a natural growth. And those snakes...even if the snake venom flowers revived here, it's impossible to have so many Red Practice Snakes. Both the flowers and the snakes must be man-made."

  Recalling the tranquility of the sea of flowers just now, An San couldn't help but mutter: "Are all people from Nanjiang crazy? Such a dangerous thing..."

  "The people of Nanjiang are not afraid of snakes." Ye Li smiled and said, "I suppose the people of Nanjiang set up this snake valley that everyone dares not to approach in order to conceal something inside the belly of this mountain."

  "What's an arms foundry?" Ming San asked in puzzlement.

  Ye Li smiled and said: "No, there's something even more interesting. Let's leave here first, have you seen Han Mingxi's mark?"

  An San crouched on the ground, looking at something on the ground and said, "They probably encountered some trouble. This mark... was left in a very messy way." It was already evening now, and it was impossible to see any footprints or anything like that. An San had also spent half a day searching for this mark left by Han Mingxiang. Ye Li furrowed her brow, crouched down, and looked at the ground, thinking in a low voice, "From when we parted ways with them until now, it's already been two hours. Walking for an hour should be able to cover about twenty miles or so, both of them are skilled in lightness skills... but lightness skills aren't used for traveling, let's assume thirty miles. If everything was normal, they should be sixty miles away by now. So... did Han Mingxiang get ambushed? Or were the two of them caught together?"

  "Bingshu Sheng shouldn't have secretly calculated against Han Mingxi. Tianyi Pavilion has many eyes and ears, and there must be someone in Yonglin City who saw Bingshu Sheng and Han Mingxi together. If something happened to Han Mingxi, Bingshu Sheng wouldn't be able to explain it to the master of Tianyi Pavilion." An San said. Ye Li furrowed her brow and said: "Then... they might get caught? An San, let's split up and search, see if Han Mingxi left any other marks." If something happened to Han Mingxi, not just Bingshu Sheng but also they would have a hard time explaining it to Han Mingyue. After all, she was the one who went to find Han Mingxi first, which is why he followed her to Nanjiang. If they really got caught, now they could only pray that Han Mingxi hadn't been killed yet.

  In a secret village in southern Xinjiang, Han Mingxi lay softly on the ground. His body was tightly bound by ropes and couldn't move at all. Nearby, Bing Sheng, the sick scholar, was even more miserable, with iron chains on his body and wounds all over him, constantly coughing as if he only had half a life left. Ignoring his own wretched appearance, Han Mingxi smiled and looked at Bing Sheng, saying: "How are you? Can you still hold on?"

  "How can you be so sure they'll come and rescue us?" Bing Shu asked, clearing his throat and looking up.

  Han Mingxi smiled and said: "I believe you won't abandon me."

  Bing Shu Sheng let out a soft hum and said: "I rather believe he came to rescue you because of the face of Tian Yi Lou."

  Han Mingxi didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "So what? He won't come to rescue you just because you're the third master of Yanwang Pavilion, will he? It seems we can only wait for Jun Wei to come and save us now. But Third Master, why don't you find someone to come and rescue us?" Han Mingxi glared at Bing Shu with a belly full of resentment. If it weren't for this guy forcing them to find the Biliu flower, how would they have ended up in such a predicament? Now he hadn't seen the Biliu flower, but it was possible that they would soon be on their way to the Yellow Springs. That would really fulfill Jun Wei's phrase "above is the blue sky, below is the Yellow Springs".

  Bing Shu Sheng coughed a few times and said, "Since you have so much confidence in Chu Jun, why do you keep chanting here?" Han Mingxi was taken aback, speaking in a low voice, "Didn't you see the place we came out from? Chu Jun is different from you, and he doesn't have any medicine to restrain the venomous snakes. Who knows if they can make it out. Maybe as soon as they exit the cave, they'll be bewildered by those ghost flowers. And... those venomous snakes..." Bing Shu Sheng fell silent for a moment before speaking in a light tone, "When we came down from the cliff, Zhuo Jing took some medicine from me." Seeing Han Mingxi staring at him, he glanced away and said, "No need to look at me like that. I only found out after we parted ways with them. He took the anti-daze medicine and the Soft Tendon Powder, the same kind I gave you on the mountain."

  Han Mingxi rolled his eyes, "So later on you could only give me one kind of medicine, it stinks to death!"?

  "Don't worry, they're fine." Bing Shu Sheng suppressed his cough and said in a low voice.

  "How did you know?"

  "That surname Liang guy couldn't wait to kill us immediately. But Le Jiang never made a move, it must be because he was waiting for them to arrive."

  "Do they want to catch us all at once?" Han Mingxi frowned. Bing Shusheng said: "Don't forget that Chu Junwei has been behind us, and when we came out of the cave, they didn't follow up. After we left, they must have done something else behind our backs. So these people must be caught. Do you think they didn't see the trail you left behind?" Han Mingxi angrily said: "Do you know they deliberately used us to lure Junwei into a trap, why didn't you remind me?" Bing Shusheng sneered coldly, "Why should I remind you? Now at least Chu Junwei still has a chance to save us, if he doesn't come, we're dead for sure."

  "He might come and die with us!"

  "So what?"

  Puff...?

  The window frame outside made two clear sounds, and the two people stopped at the same time to look towards the window. A nimble figure quickly flipped in from the window, turned back to them with a smile and said: "Brother Han, you can rest assured. I absolutely won't die with you guys."

  "Jun Wei!" Han Mingxi exclaimed in surprise.

  "Shh..." Ye Li stretched out a finger to cover her lips and winked at him. Han Mingxi hastily lowered his voice, "How did you get in? This place is full of hidden dangers." Ye Li smiled, "There's no such thing as 100% safety, it just depends on whether you can find a weak spot to break through. Hey...Han brother, and Third Master, you both owe me one life, you know." Bing Shu Sheng hummed softly, "Those are things we'll settle after we all escape safely." Earlier, he and Han Mingxi's conversation had definitely been overheard by Chu Junwei, but looking at the young man in front of him with a bright and clear smile, Bing Shu Sheng couldn't be sure if he was holding a grudge or not.

  "Alright, you're right." Ye Li said helplessly. She quickly cut off the ropes on Han Mingxi's body with a dagger and handed him a sword, saying: "It's not easy to find a suitable weapon in the southern border, so just make do with this." Han Mingxi took the sword and smiled, "Thank you, Jun Wei." The ropes on Han Mingxi's body were easily solved, but the iron chains on Bing Shu's body were not so easy to deal with. Ye Li spent some effort before finally opening the chains, and Bing Shu stretched his limbs before asking: "What about your guard?" Ye Li smiled and said: "He's preparing a big gift for the Luo Yi tribe." Walking to the window, Ye Li imitated a few bird calls of varying lengths. Before long, a commotion broke out in one part of the camp, followed by more places, and in an instant, it seemed like the entire camp was bustling with activity. Ye Li smiled contentedly and said: "Alright, let's go!"

  Bingshu Sheng pushed open the door and several feathered arrows shot out, but Han Mingxi quickly grabbed him back from behind. Yelü stepped on the door with one foot. Several arrows hit the wooden door with a thud. Bingshu Sheng glared at Yelü in annoyance, but Yelü smiled warmly at him, "This is the thank you gift from San Dangjia for inviting me to die with you just now."

  The sick bookworm knew he was in the wrong and grunted without saying anything.

  The bowmen outside were vigilantly staring at the gate, with a loud bang the wooden door was opened and a dark shadow rushed out. Whoosh... A cluster of feathered arrows shot out rapidly.

  Bang! On both sides of the small building, a person emerged from each window. With a few swift movements, several archers felt a sharp pain in their bodies and fell to the ground one after another. Ye Li walked out of the door, glanced at the bundle on the ground that was shot with arrows like a hedgehog, as well as the corpses lying around with dim eyes, "Let's go quickly. If we stay any longer, Zhuo Jing won't be able to hold on." At this time, the entire village was in chaos, with fires breaking out in several places. It seemed that Zhuo Jing had set many fires and they were not just ordinary ones. Not far away, a strange bird cry sounded, Ye Li led Han Mingxi and the others, without hesitation, rushing towards that direction.

  As they passed by a spring, Bing Shu sneered and took out something from his bosom and threw it in. Han Mingxi saw it with his eyes flashing but didn't say anything and quickly followed Ye Li in front of him. When they arrived, An San was already surrounded by people, obviously struggling to hold on. Ye Li looked around and saw that all the main figures in the village were present, no wonder they had assigned over a dozen people to guard them. Ye Li thought of something he had taken from the underground palace, apparently it was more important to Le Jiang than Han Mingxi's and Bing Shu's lives.

  "Saved two, lost one in the process, this is really not worth it." Ye Li frowned helplessly. "Brother Han, can you catch that old man?" She asked softly, pointing to Old Man Liang who was surrounded by layers of protection. Han Mingxi furrowed his brow: "There are too many people around him. And...that old man is too fat." Ben Shu Sheng handed over two things, "Sprinkle this into the air, and feed this directly into that Liang guy's mouth."

  "This is almost right." Han Mingxi nodded after weighing it in his hand.

  The three gods looked at the people in front of them who were wearing Nanjiang costumes and wrapping themselves heavily, swinging their weapons without mercy.

  "Zhuo Jing, close your breath!" Han Mingxi's voice suddenly appeared, and a dark figure flashed through the air towards the crowd. An San held his breath for an instant, Nanjiang and Xiling were different, not many people understood the language of Zhongyuan. So as soon as Han Mingxi landed on the ground, he knocked down a bunch of people with a thud. An San also took advantage of the situation to climb up onto the roof of a nearby house. Han Mingxi successfully landed beside Lao Ye, who was lying on the ground, humming and making a fool of himself. He pinched open his mouth and stuffed the medicine in, then patted his face with a smile: "Old rascal, you're done for."

  Le Jiang was one of the few Southerners who had not fallen, and seeing the pale faces of those lying on the ground, he looked at Old Man Liang, who was wailing and begging for help, as if looking at an enemy and a scourge. "You detestable people from the Central Plains! What have you done?!" Han Mingxi's mood was great at this time, and his gloominess from the whole day suddenly dissipated by half. He picked up Old Man Liang and flung him in the direction of the sick scholar, laughing as he said: "Luo Yi tribe leader, do you still have the nerve to ask what we've done? Don't you ever think about what you yourself have done?" Le Jiang snorted, saying disdainfully: "Do you think a little poison like this can stop people from the Luo Yi tribe?"

  Han Mingxi shrugged and smiled: "The poison isn't mine, what does it have to do with me? You'd better get your people to stand up."

  The sickly-looking Liang Lao Ye was carried out by the robust Book of Life, his face as black as ink and looking like he was on his last breath. At a glance, it was clear that he had been poisoned. Le Jiang's heart skipped a beat, although he was skilled in using poison to drive away snakes, but for now, he couldn't figure out what kind of poison Liang Lao Ye had taken, and this detestable rich merchant from the Central Plains must not die at all costs. "What do you want?"

  "The Sickly Bookworm said calmly: 'Let us go, don't let others chase after us. Otherwise... I'll kill him.'"

  Le Jiang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright. But... return to me the things you took from the underground palace!" He glared at Ye Li and An San with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. Ye Li blinked innocently and smiled, "It's not like it was anything good, why make such a fuss? I'll return it to you, but who knows what kind of twisted things you've written on that thing?" Le Jiang eyed him suspiciously, "I don't understand why you took it away." Ye Li chuckled, "If it's something important, I suggest you not decorate it so lavishly in the future. Isn't that just asking for someone to take it? This young master has always had a liking for those lavish little trinkets. Here, this useless broken thing is returned to you." As he finished speaking, Ye Li pulled out an object and tossed it over. Le Jiang caught it in his hand, and it was a dark wooden box with the lid carved with twisted characters that were unclear whether they were words or drawings. It could be seen that originally there should have been some decorations on the box, but now the surface was pockmarked with small dents. The decorations on top had clearly been stripped away.

  Le Jiang checked the mechanism lock on the box and found no signs of triggering, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. The expression on his face also looked much better. Looking at Ye Li playing with a glittering golden thing in her hand, she smiled and said: "There are also several other things that I took from the table. I believe Le Jiang won't be so petty as to not even leave me a souvenir?"

  Lei Jiang grunted and said, "You can leave now." What the few things that were still missing in the underground palace were, he naturally knew, they weren't anything important. Now he was too lazy to pursue them about it. Bian Shu Sheng dragged Liang Lao Ye out and warned for the last time, "Don't play any tricks, otherwise I guarantee he'll die without even leaving behind ashes."

  Ye Li and An San had already prepared their horses, and as soon as they left the village, the four of them mounted up and galloped northwest. It wasn't until dawn broke that they finally saw the main road, and they all let out a sigh of relief. Han Mingxi smiled and said, "Yesterday was really exciting, thanks to Jun Wei! Let's take a break here for a bit. The next town is only over ten miles away, we can rest there for a day. If everything goes smoothly on the road, in seven or eight days at most, we'll be able to reach the capital of Nanzhao."

  Bingshu Sheng shook his head and said, "We'll bypass the village and head straight for the capital of Nanzhao."

  "You're not tired, but we are." Han Mingxi said discontentedly.

  Bingshu Sheng coldly said: "With him in tow, you think we can go to the inn to lodge a complaint? Moreover, do you really think that Le Jiang won't send someone after us?"

  Han Mingxi snorted, "Who's with you? You've found the person you're looking for, go ask him where things are yourself. Let's part ways and each go our own way. Weren't we miserable enough yesterday because of you? Jun Wei, right?" Ye Li played with the exquisite gemstone ornament in her hand, smiling shallowly: "It's fine... But if we split up, will San Dangjia give me the reward he promised?" Bing Shusheng's eyes flashed, "So it's better to stick together, isn't it? Otherwise, Chu Gongzi won't be at ease either." Ye Li smiled: "Anyway, after going through so much, a little more doesn't matter. If we give up halfway, wouldn't that mean everything I did yesterday was for nothing?"

  Jian Ye Li said so, Han Ming Xuan could only nod helplessly, "I hope this young master won't be killed by you."

  Ye Li smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Han can return to the Central Plains early, after all, you're not interested in what Third Master wants to find, right?" Han Mingxi turned his head and resolutely refused, "This young master thinks it's more fun to follow Jun Wei, wherever Jun Wei goes, this young master will go too. Let's walk together! This young master is afraid of who?"

  Four people decided to take a short break, and the sick Book was too lazy to wait for a moment, so he pulled Liang Lao Ye aside for severe punishment. Han Mingxi also had a grudge against Liang Lao Ye and followed him to watch. Ye Li expressed no interest, and An San, although interested, would never show it in front of outsiders, stayed by Ye Li's side to ensure her safety. Ye Li walked under the big tree, sat down, glanced at Han Mingxi and Book in the distance, then took out some miscellaneous items from his sleeve, including two white papers. With a satisfied expression, he took out a sharpened charcoal pen from his package and began writing and drawing on the paper.

  An San stood on one side, looking at the twisted and strange self on the paper, and wondered: "Didn't young master say he couldn't read these characters? Is young master deceiving them?"

  Ye Li shook her head and smiled, "I don't know it very well, but others do. However, it's a bit difficult to remember things that I'm not familiar with. I should have written it down yesterday, but I was worried that if I got caught, it would be troublesome. Now... I shouldn't have made any mistakes." After finishing speaking, Ye Li lowered her head and continued writing and drawing on the paper in a curved motion. At the same time, she said to An San, "Actually, I don't know what this thing is either, but that box, I do recognize it. The thing on top of it seems to be the mark of the Saintess of Nanjiang, so this thing should be very important." In fact, she saw some more interesting things, but those things she could understand and naturally remembered clearly. She probably looked at them for a bit before putting them back in their original place, and now there was no need to rush to write them down either.

  He nodded silently three times, secretly sympathizing with the Luo Yi tribe leader who thought that the treasure was intact. He would never know that the young master had taken out the contents of the box and studied them for half a day before putting them back when waiting for nightfall at the entrance of the Snake Valley cave. In his heart, he silently admired the young master's skill in opening locks, thinking about when to ask him to teach him.

  After a while, Ye Li finally finished writing the paper slowly. Satisfied with her own memory, she checked it twice before handing it to An San: "Have someone send this back home as soon as possible and see what this thing is."

  An San nodded three times, thought for a moment, and looked at Ye Li with a hesitant expression. Ye Li couldn't help but smile as he said, "If you have something to say, just say it." An San glanced at the paper in his hand and asked softly, "We've been out for quite some time now. Since Young Master wants to send a message back home, shouldn't we write a letter to let them know that Young Master is safe?"

  A letter from home? Ye Li was taken aback in the middle of the night. Since leaving, she had not sent any messages to Mo Xiuyao in order not to reveal her whereabouts. Even the hidden guards scattered around did not contact each other. Thinking of Mo Xiuyao's words, Ye Li felt a little guilty. Looking at the remaining paper in her hand, she decided to write a letter since there was still some left.
