Chapter 10 My skills are lacking, so I'll make a fool of myself.
The Wind Spirit Ghost Clan had already entered the city before Zhongli Yueluo and the others returned; this time, they brought two young masters with them.
The Wind Spirit Ghost Clan always gives birth to twins, but usually only one survives. Very few Wind Spirit Ghosts can live to adulthood.
At this moment, the two teenagers, both dressed in black, one of them concealed himself and headed towards Taiyuan Prison, while the other headed towards the royal family's backyard.
Suddenly, a fire broke out somewhere, billowing thick smoke. It turned out to be the Si De Pavilion, which was full of the dossiers of the sinners from West Demon Mountain.
It contained many important files, and when the fire broke out, cries of alarm rose: "It's terrible! It's terrible! The Sidde Pavilion is on fire!"
Then came a great deal of shouting and yelling, which gave Zhongli Yueluo an opportunity.
Just as she was thinking about how to infiltrate Taiyuan Prison, Si De Ge caught fire. It was truly a stroke of luck for her!
She immediately tightened the black veil on her face, transforming into blue light and disappearing into the darkness.
Many people were rushing to put out the fire, which seemed to be entangled in some strange magic, and ordinary water could not extinguish it at all.
Almost all of the Imperial Silver Deer Guards were mobilized, and forces were also dispatched from Taiyuan Prison to extinguish the fire.
Someone in the shadows shouted, "An assassin!"
Zhongli Yueluo didn't care what they were shouting; almost everyone was rushing towards Side Pavilion.
But she went in the opposite direction.
Taiyuan Prison
A pale-faced woman with disheveled hair and tattered clothes was being chained up.
She was stunningly beautiful, with a striking resemblance to Zhongli Yueluo in her features; this was none other than her biological mother, Ruan Xinchen.
Su Fengjun, hiding in the prison, finally found the woman in the portrait.
This is the mission of the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan. Choosing a bride is secondary; the main task is to rescue this woman.
After all, it was said that she was a bloodline of the Blood Demon from the Northern Demon Mountain who had been separated from her family. The blood of the Blood Demon clan of the Northern Demon Mountain was naturally capable of controlling ghosts.
Logically speaking, the woman should have been killed directly.
But no one knows what their family's intentions are, they insist on rescuing this woman.
He held a heavy dagger wreathed in flames in his left hand and a long sword emanating cold air in his right, knocking out all the prison guards.
Finally, he arrived in front of the woman in shackles, and with a swift stroke of his knife, the shackles were broken.
Ruan Xinchen looked dazed, perhaps because after suffering for a thousand years, she felt that nothing could stir her emotions anymore.
But when she glanced at the handsome man with black hair and silver eyes, she noticed a resemblance to someone she knew.
But Su Fengjun didn't say a word. He simply knocked her unconscious with the hilt of his sword, carried her on his back, and walked out.
It was thanks to his ability to become invisible at night that he was able to get out; otherwise, with so many guards outside, he would never have been able to escape.
He also needed to hurry out and meet up with his accomplices, as his younger brother was still drawing fire for him.
He stealthily ran out, while Zhongli Yueluo was running inside.
She was also puzzled as to why all the prison guards along the way were falling to the ground.
She didn't care about anything else; she just wanted to run to the very back of the prison.
Strangely enough, this prison was completely empty.
She brushed past Su Fengjun, sensing a peculiar aura.
Looking in that direction, Su Fengjun met her gaze, but left without lingering.
In the end, Zhongli Yuelu searched everywhere in the prison cell but could not find her mother.
He Yuhuan had finished eating the pastries on the table. Hearing the commotion outside, she wondered what had happened and followed Zhongli Yueluo's scent to find her.
When Zhongli Yu and Gongshu Liang learned that Si De Ge had caught fire, they assumed that Zhongli Yueluo was desperately seeking medical help.
Set a fire to attract their attention so we can go to Taiyuan Prison to rescue people.
When they arrived at Taiyuan Prison, they found all the prison guards lying dead, Zhongli Yueluo was nowhere to be seen, and Ruan Xinchen had also disappeared.
One of the jailers slowly woke up. Gongshu Liang, with eyes like a hawk, grabbed him by the collar and asked fiercely, "Who did this!"
The jailer was quite frightened; to be honest, he didn't even see clearly what it was.
It was as if an invisible wisp of energy had knocked them unconscious!
"I...I don't know, sir!"
He swung the guard forcefully, and the guard slammed against the wall with a thud, dying instantly.
Zhong Liyu rubbed his fingers. This was not something Zhong Liyueluo could do. Someone else was behind the prison break!
"Ah Liang, have the Black Deer Guards search the entire city. Tell them that an assassin is trying to sabotage the marriage selection, and we must not let that person fall into the hands of foreigners!"
Seeing that this was the only option, Gongshu Liang snapped his fingers and sent a telepathic message to the Black Deer Guards under his command, ordering them to search the entire city.
Zhong Liyu immediately headed towards Yuanyue Pavilion, although her actions there were unlike her usual behavior.
But I still need to see it for myself to feel at ease.
Zhongli Yueluo slipped away from the crowd and crept back to Yuanyue Pavilion. Strangely, the lights in her room were off. Could it be that He Yuhuan had run out looking for her?
She pushed open the door and went in. The atmosphere inside was off. She tentatively called out, "Yu Huan?"
But she felt a silver light rushing towards her face, carrying a murderous aura.
When she looked closely, she saw a short, curly, silver-white wolf tail and broad, leaf-shaped eyebrows.
With dog-like black pupils, a small, upturned round nose, petal-shaped lips, and a youthful, blunt profile, isn't this Su Fengling?
That boy who always called her "sister" in his past life in order to please her, and who later had his eyes gouged out by Gongshu Liang!
Why is he here, and why is the dart already pressed against her throat?
Su Fengling had no idea where he was. It was pitch black, and he had run here because someone was chasing him. He had no idea who the girl in front of him was.
"Shh, don't make a sound!" His voice was icy.
So this is Su Fengling's personality? Isn't he just a naive young boy?
"Calm down, calm down." Her fingers gently pushed the plum blossom dart.
With a sincere expression, she smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples.
Now that I think about it, the fire outside must have been related to him, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous.
"Who are you? Why are you breaking into the imperial palace at night?"
Realizing that the girl in front of him meant him no harm, he changed his expression.
Her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Sister, I wandered in by mistake and got lost."
What utter nonsense! Regardless of his purpose, Zhongli Yueluo was deeply moved by his pitiful cry of "sister."
"Is the assassin they're looking to capture outside you?" Su Fengling's face immediately darkened when he heard her say that.
Zhongli Yueluo quickly waved her hand: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Just as the two were talking, Zhong Liyu's voice came from outside.
She entered her courtyard as if it were her own backyard; after all, all the maids were their trusted confidantes.
She seemed to suspect that an assassin was hiding in her yard, and with a wave of her hand, she changed into a nightgown.
She glanced at Su Fengling, pointed her finger, and tried to use Yan Ruoyu's illusion clothing technique to change his clothes as well.
However, being a latecomer to the profession, Su Fengling's skills were not up to par, and his clothes were stripped off, leaving him only in his underpants!
Meanwhile, Zhong Liyu was getting closer and closer. Su Fengling's eyes widened in anger, and she covered her chest with her hand. What had this girl done?!
