Chapter 896 – Tan’er, we’re out
A moment later, Bai Luo Chen stood at the door of the cell. He looked at the jailer in the distance and sneered, “Ah! So you can’t take it anymore? This psychological quality is too bad! ”
Calmly turning around, he walked to the straw mattress and sat down. He looked around at his surroundings and sighed, “Ah!” It was better to be safe than sorry! “Hierarch, that old geezer will definitely come to save me!” Bai Luochen comforted himself as he placed all his hopes on someone he couldn’t rely on.
As he thought of this, he closed his eyes and dozed off. Soon, sleepiness invaded his entire body, and he lazily laid down on the straw mattress and crossed his legs before falling asleep.
The next morning, the rising sun shone on every corner of the Li Continent. Jing Tian Jue carried Su Tan’er as they walked for an entire night before finally exiting the secret room and arriving at a mountain forest.
The forest was lush with vegetation and thick with fog. However, there were no birds, beasts, insects, or fish! The quiet atmosphere was exceptionally eerie.
Jing Tian Jue, who was covered in water vapor, slightly bent his body and whispered into Su Tan’er’s ears. He said in a gentle voice, “Su’er, wake up, we’re coming out.”
When Su Huang’er heard that gentle yet pleasant voice, her heavy heart instantly relaxed by a lot. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes to look around; the weak sunlight shone onto her eyes, causing her to uncontrollably moan. When she reacted, her entire body froze.
She actually fell asleep in the arms of this man? And slept all night!
He suddenly let go of Jing Tian Jue’s neck and jumped off his body. He almost staggered and fell to the ground. In the end, Jing Tian Jue caught his entire body and carefully placed her on the ground.
Su Xuan’er stood up straight and uncomfortably tidied her clothes before asking: “Are we really coming out?”
“Un, at least, I left that dark dungeon. I’s inner force seemed to have recovered too! “It’s no longer restricted by that formation.” Afterwards, he would meet some ferocious beast, so he wasn’t afraid that this woman would be harmed!
Su Yan’er slightly pursed her lips and nodded her head in agreement. Her clear eyes gazed at her surroundings as she searched for a way out.
However, there were countless paths in the forest, and looking ahead, it was impossible to find the exit. He glanced at Jing Tian Jue, and his eyes seemed to be asking which way to go, and Jing Tian Jue’s brows tightened, reminding Su Tan’er, “Stand here, and wait for I!”
After saying that, he lightly tapped the tip of his foot and flew up to the top of a tree not far away. His deep eyes scanned the surroundings and soon, that handsome figure flew back down.
Su Tan’er stepped forward and asked, “How is it?”
“There’s nothing we can do for now. The trees are too dense to see the scenery in the distance, so we can only take one step at a time. ”
The two walked in the forest like this for an hour. Jing Tian Jue saw the sweat on Su Tan’er’s forehead and knew that she could not hold on for much longer. After a moment, he grabbed Su Yan’er’s hand and said to her: “Sit here and rest for a while.”
Su Tan’er cast a glance in the direction Jing Tian Jue was pointing and nodded her head.
The two sat coquettishly together, causing Su Huang’er to feel a little awkward. She moved a little to the side, and Jing Tian Jue moved a little to Su Tan’er’s side. She moved a little more, and Jing Tian Jue moved again.
Su Qian’er speechlessly frowned as she looked curiously at Jing Tian Jue, “You …”
To be able to sit so calmly together, this was something that Jing Tian Jue had never thought of ever since Su Yan’er left.
For the past three months, all he had been thinking about was how to capture this woman and interrogate her as to why she abandoned him and betrayed him! Now that she was in front of him, all those so-called questions and accusations had disappeared! What he wanted to ask was whether she had been well these past few days. He also wanted to ask whether she still remembered him. Had she really forgotten all about him?
Seeing Su Tan’er’s strange gaze, a hint of disappointment flashed across Jing Tian Jue’s eyes. He pursed his lips and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Tan’er lowered her gaze and cast a glance at Jing Tian Jue’s tall figure. Pointing at the place next to Jing Tian Jue, she said, “Can you move a little closer?”
Jing Tian Jue was startled and smiled helplessly after regaining his senses. He moved his body a little to the side, thus the two of them were separated by a certain distance. Only now did Su Huang’er feel more at ease. She quietly sat under the tree, lost in thought as she gazed at the distant scenery.
At this moment, both of them were equally speechless. Neither of them could guess what the other was thinking.
Bai Luochen finally got a good night’s sleep in the dungeon of the Li Continent’s imperial city. Unexpectedly, the old door was knocked loudly early in the morning, and he sat up with an unhappy face, looking at the jailers running towards him.
The guard gave Bai Luochen a cold glare, opened the old door, and left with Bai Luochen in tow.
Along the way, Bai Luochen began to interrogate again. The guards felt really uncomfortable, so they quickened their steps towards Leng Bingyue’s sleeping quarters. However, they did not discover that the two men who were following them were ready to take action at any time.
Passing by a garden, Bai Luochen cast a glance at the beautiful flowers, cleared her throat and said, “When will we arrive? This old one is too old to walk on a road that is too long! ”
The guard coldly scolded: “Cut the crap! He looked like a pretty boy! It’s just a few steps, do you think we’re three years old?! ”
Bai Luochen sighed, “Sigh, if I was like you all said, would I have been captured by you all? Come, come, come. Let’s sit here and rest for a while. ”
With that, Bai Luo Chen stopped and sat on the spot. The two guards saw that there was nothing they could do, so they could only wait on the side while watching Bai Luochen.
At this moment, a strange glint flashed across Bai Luochen’s eyes. The two men in the shadows caught Bai Luochen’s gaze, looked at each other, and quietly attacked from behind.
In the blink of an eye the guard fell to the ground.
Bai Luo Chen looked at the two familiar faces and asked softly, “Where is your Master?”
The two of them lowered their heads in shame. One of the man quietly replied: “This subordinate was incompetent, and lost Master with him!”
Bai Luochen waved her hand, “So what if I lost it!” With his abilities, the two of you alone won’t be able to catch up. ”
“Thank you, Godly Doctor Bai!”
“Oh right, think of a way to remove this for this old man!” I’ve been wearing it all night and my arms are tired. ”
The two of them cut off the shackles on Bai Luo Chen and supported him as they left the Imperial Palace.
Leng Bingyue was waiting in the study room for Bai Luochen to come over. She waited for a long time, but she still didn’t see Bai Luochen.
The jailer scrambled to kneel at Leng Bingyue’s feet, trembling with fear.
Leng Bingyue angrily asked, “Where is he?”
The two of them sneaked a peek at each other before timidly replying, “He’s lost!”
“Lost? Two have escaped, and one has lost them. What’s the use of I keeping you two alive! ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword and killed the two guards.
