Ye Ling'er heard the sound and raised her head in horror, her eyes filled with tears.
Lu Yuan quickly made a silence gesture, and then whispered: "Miss Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I am your sister's friend Lu Yuan."
A flash of surprise flashed in Ye Ling'er's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear. "Are you really my sister's friend? Will they find you?"
Lu Yuan comforted: "Don't worry, Miss Ling'er. We will definitely rescue you. Your sister and Mo Chen are guarding outside. Now I have to find a way to open the door lock and rescue you."< br>
Ye Ling'er nodded and tried to calm down.
Lu Yuan began to think about how to unlock the door. He observed the location of the vent and found that it was at a certain height from the ground. If he jumped directly, it might make a loud noise.
He looked around for tools and finally found a piece of wire in the corner of the vent.
Lu Yuan held the wire and carefully tried to open the door lock.
After some hard work, the door lock was finally unlocked. He opened the door gently and stepped down to the ground.
"Miss Ling'er, let's go quickly."
Lu Yuan took Ye Ling'er's hand and prepared to take her away.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Ye Ling'er and hid behind a cabinet.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door.
Lu Yuan nervously held the dagger in his hand, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The door was pushed open and a man in black walked in. He looked around, seemingly looking for something. Lu Yuan held his breath and did not dare to move.
The man in black walked around the room and found nothing unusual, so he was ready to leave.
The moment he turned around, Ye Ling'er accidentally touched the cabinet and made a slight sound.
The man in black immediately became alert. He turned around and walked towards the cabinet.
Lu Yuan held the dagger tightly, preparing to attack when the man in black approached.
The man in black approached the cabinet step by step, and Lu Yuan's heart was in his throat.
Just when the man in black was about to open the cabinet, a shout suddenly came from outside.
"There is an enemy invasion!"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran outside.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Ye Linger out of the room quickly.
They retraced their steps and soon found the vent.
Lu Yuan asked Ye Ling'er to crawl out first, and then climbed out himself.
After Ye Ling'er and Lu Yuan came out, they met Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen. When Ye Qianmo saw his sister, he ran forward excitedly and hugged her tightly.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Ye Qianmo's eyes were full of concern.
Ye Ling'er shook her head: "Sister, I'm fine. Thanks to Lu Yuan and the others."
Mo Chen said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."
The four of them quickly walked towards the outside of the castle. However, their actions were discovered. The men in black in the castle were chasing them.
"Let's go!" Lu Yuan shouted, leading everyone to quicken their pace.
They shuttled through the castle, avoiding the pursuit of the men in black.
Along the way, they fought fiercely with the men in black.
Ye Qianmo brandished his long sword and fought fiercely with the man in black.
"You bad guys, I must avenge my sister today."
Not to be outdone, Mo Chen flew up and down with the weapon in his hand, repelling the approaching men in black one by one. Lu Yuan protected Ye Ling'er while looking for an escape route.
"This way!"
He led everyone towards a remote passage.
At the end of the passage is an abandoned yard.
The yard was overgrown with weeds and it looked like no one had been there for a long time.
Lu Yuan observed the surrounding environment and found that there was a gap in the courtyard wall that could lead to the outside.
"Let's get out of here."
Lu Yuan said.
The four quickly passed through the gap and fled the castle.
They ran in the mountains and forests for a while, and finally escaped the pursuit of the man in black.
Ye Qianmo stopped and looked at Lu Yuan and Mo Chen gratefully.
"Thank you for saving my sister. I, Ye Qianmo, will definitely remember this kindness in my heart." Ye Qianmo said.
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "We are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite. We are not completely safe yet, and we have to leave here as soon as possible."
Mo Chen also said: "Yes, Palace Master and the others will definitely not give up. We need to find a safe place."
Ye Ling'er said: "Sister, where are we going?"
Ye Qianmo thought for a while: "Let's find a secluded place and hide first. We will make plans after the storm has passed."
The four of them continued to move forward, looking for a safe hiding place in the mountains and forests.
They walked for a long time and finally found a cave. The cave is hidden in a dense forest and is not easily discovered.
They walked into the cave, which was quite spacious. Ye Qianmo found some hay and spread it on the ground for his sister to sit down and rest.
"Sister, you have suffered." Ye Qianmo said distressedly.
Ye Ling'er shook her head: "Sister, I'm fine. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."
Lu Yuan and Mo Chen also sat down and discussed the next plan.
Lu Yuan said: "Palace Master and the others will definitely continue to look for us. We must find ways to improve our strength so that we can better deal with their threats."
Mo Chen nodded in agreement. "We can find a quiet place and practice well. When our strength improves, we can then seek revenge from the Palace Master and the others."
Ye Qianmo said: "Okay, that's it. Let's rest here for a while before setting off."
The four rested for a night in the cave. Early the next morning, the sun shines into the cave through the leaves at the entrance, bringing a touch of warmth. Ye Qianmo woke up early and started preparing some simple food for his sister. Lu Yuan and Mo Chen also stood up one after another and began to discuss the next plan.
Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er, the doubts in his heart getting stronger.
Ever since she rescued Ye Ling'er, some of her actions seemed a bit strange.
She seemed too calm about her surroundings and lacked the panic and joy of being rescued.
Moreover, there would occasionally be an unpredictable light in her eyes.
Lu Yuan quietly pulled Mo Chen over and whispered: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this Ye Ling'er."
Mo Chen frowned: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think she is too quiet? Logically speaking, after experiencing so many things, she should have a lot to say, or show more mood swings. But she has been very silent, as if What is hidden?”
Mo Chen thought for a moment: "Maybe she was just frightened and hasn't recovered yet."
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, I always feel that things are not that simple. We have to observe her carefully."
At this time, Ye Qianmo came over: "What are you talking about?" (End of Chapter)
