C6 Escape

At dusk, at the northern corner of the Duke Mansion.

In a quiet and secluded courtyard.

In this simple and unadorned courtyard, other than the three or four guards patrolling outside, there were only a few maids guarding the entrance.

No matter if it was the people outside or inside the courtyard, they all had solemn expressions and did not dare to smile. Although their gazes occasionally made contact, they did not converse at all, causing the somewhat empty courtyard to become even more deserted.

There were five rooms in this courtyard, but most of them had no signs of human habitation.

The maids were guarding one of the rooms, and sighs could be heard from time to time, causing the entire room to be filled with a strange aura.

Inside the room was Liu Yunqi who was enjoying his dinner by himself. He was currently looking at the big bowl of rice in his bowl listlessly.

He silently scanned across the room. Everything in his line of sight was already so familiar that he couldn't be any more familiar with it.

In the middle of the room was the table he was eating at.

On the left was where the books were read and written. There was a long table, and apart from a few pens and pens, there was nothing else. Beside the table was the bookshelf, which was stuffed full of yellowed books.

Liu Yunqi had once wanted to take a look at the books on the bookshelf due to his boredom.

However, no one had taught him to read and write. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand those books.

From his initial frenzy, to his helplessness and now his abandonment, the book over there was now undoubtedly in his eyes.

On his right was a pink muslin curtain with a bed in it. On the bed, there was also a light red muslin curtain. Even the bedspread on the bed was pink and red.

Beside the bed, there was a dressing table. It was filled with things a woman could use to dress up. This, no matter how you looked at it, was a woman's room.

Thinking of the happy days of strolling on the streets and the feeling of being doted on by Liu Xu a few days ago, as well as the feeling of being compared to this quiet and empty room, Liu Yunqi felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.

He sighed again, and then he took a mouthful of rice and barely filled his stomach. Under this atmosphere, he finally could not eat anymore.

He got up and walked back to the bed. He lay on it and closed his eyes, feeling indescribably sad. "In the end, I still came back to this place. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to go out again." Am I going to spend my life in this little house? "

In the afternoon, he accompanied Liu Xu to pay his respects to his mother.

As soon as he returned to the Duke Mansion entrance, he met Liu Shang who was waiting at the door. Seeing Liu Xu bringing Liu Yunqi out again, his expression was extremely ugly at that time.

Without waiting for Liu Xu to speak, Liu Shang waved his hand, causing a few servants to rush out, carrying Liu Yunqi and walking towards the backyard.

Although Liu Yunqi resisted with all his might, he was still not a match for the group of girls. They were the only ones who could take him away.

In his extreme despair, he thought of Liu Xu who was still okay with him.

Thus, Liu Yunqi asked Liu Xu for help again. This time, Liu Xu was actually stared back at by a glare from Liu Shang.

Then, he waved his hands towards Liu Shang with a smile to send him off, and smiled at him like a dog leg.

Seeing her dog-legged smile, Liu Yunqi's lungs almost exploded from anger, "Is there anyone that betrayed their teammates like that? It was in vain for me to trust you so much. "

After being angered for a while, he returned to his room and felt relieved. After all, they had just met. It was already good enough that they could help him once.

How could there be such a selfless person? Moreover, at that time, Liu Shang's expression was indeed very scary, to the point that even he was afraid of her, so thinking about it was understandable.

In the past, Liu Yunqi had spent countless of days and nights here, but now that he thought about it, wasn't it logical for him to spend the rest of his life there?

Thinking about it, Liu Yunqi laughed bitterly.

"Creak …"

The door was pushed open, but he didn't even want to look.

He knew that the maidservant had come in to clean up the tableware. She would be out in a moment.

Sure enough, after a while, the room quieted down again.

"Hur hur, I'm left alone again."

At the same time, he began to think about how he should spend this lonely night in silence.

At this moment, a faint fragrance entered his nose.

It was very close, as if it were right in front of his nose.

"What is it?"

Subconsciously, he opened his mouth, and a hard thing slid down his tongue into his mouth. The sweet taste instantly filled his mouth.

"Yes, the taste of the sugar is pretty good." He silently evaluated this candy in his heart.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he opened his eyes abruptly and saw that the maid Xiao Lan was looking at him with a smile that was like flowers, softly asking, "Little Young Master, does this candy taste good?"

Liu Yunqi did not understand what she was saying, and was only looking at her with a puzzled expression, thinking, "Why didn't she go out after she was done packing? Weren't they supposed to leave after cleaning up the tableware? "Why?"

Just as he was pondering, Xiao Lan handed him a paper bag. "Little Young Master, this is for you."

After being startled for a moment, Liu Yunqi received the paper bag.

"What does that mean? Why give me sugar? I'm not a child. " Thinking about it, Liu Yunqi wanted to return the candy to her.

Just as he was about to do this, he thought, "Maybe I'll have to spend the rest of my life here. If I don't usually eat meals or fruits, I haven't eaten snacks at all." The taste of the sugar is pretty good too. Since she has already given it to me, I might as well keep it.

"Ah …"

Thinking of this, he stopped his actions. He wanted to thank Xiao Lan, but he didn't know how to put it, so he could only smile to express his gratitude.

Xiao Lan also smiled and turned to leave the room.

Liu Yunqi subconsciously grabbed her sleeve.

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to see the pitiful look on Liu Yunqi's face, as if he wanted to say something.

A trace of pity flashed past her eyes as she patted Liu Yunqi's hands, "Little Young Master, don't worry. But right now, elder sister Chun Er is waiting for me outside. I cannot delay for too long, if the butler or the Duke finds out, Xiao Lan won't be able to accompany you anymore. "

From Little Orchid's eyes, Liu Yunqi understood something. He withdrew his hand and lowered his head in disappointment.

Xiao Lan was startled for a moment, tentatively touched his head, then turned around and left.

Two days later, the night was as dark as ink and the moon was shrouded in clouds.

In this slightly dark room, Liu Yunqi was currently practicing Tai Chi.

Back then, when he transmigrated to this place, he was only a Soul Body, and what he brought with him was only his own memories and Tai Chi.

All these years, he had been locked in his room with nothing to do, so he could only take out the Taiji technique from his memory and start training again. This training session lasted for more than four years.

After practicing for such a long time, his movements were now even more elegant and agile, faintly stirring the air currents in the room.

In the faint sound of the wind, the curtains in the room were gently rising and falling in the wind. However, he was too immersed in Tai Chi and did not notice the abnormality in the room caused by him.

Outside the courtyard, a dark figure was lurking in a dark corner.

The shadow waited in the shadows for a while, and when it was time for the guard to change his guard, she seized the opportunity and entered the courtyard in a flash.

After avoiding the maids, the black shadow quickly entered the hole in the window.

Suddenly, he felt someone barging in, Liu Yunqi subconsciously shouted: "Who?!"

The clear and melodious voice of the boy caused the black figure to be stunned on the spot, and a voice as sweet as the cry of a oriole came into Liu Yunqi's ears. "So it turns out that little brother's voice is so pleasant to listen to."

The person who came was Liu Xu. She had a neat braid with a ponytail, making her look even more beautiful. The black dress made her temperament even more refined and elegant.

Liu Yunqi turned to look, and saw Liu Xu, he was extremely angry in his heart.

He still remembered that Liu Xu had not saved him at the time, and had even added insult to injury.

Although he understood her actions, but Liu Xu's smile at that time, had already deeply hurt Liu Yunqi's young heart.

Snorting coldly, he ignored Liu Xu, turned around and walked back to the bed, lying on it, leaving her with a view of his back.

Seeing Liu Yunqi's cold expression, Liu Xu was immediately puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"

Walking to the side of the bed and sitting beside him, Liu Xu rubbed Liu Yunqi's head, wanting to ask why.

However, thinking about how he didn't understand what she said, he couldn't help but become anxious. "There isn't much time left, but he's still throwing a tantrum. What should I do …"

Feeling Liu Xu's hand on his head, Liu Yunqi was a little displeased and shook his head, discovering that he could not shake her off, he gave up and ignored her, feeling angry in his heart, "You traitor, you actually betrayed your teammates, why are you still looking for me? Are you watching a joke? "

Just as she was frowning and looking at Liu Yunqi who was in a rage on the bed, a light suddenly flashed across Liu Xu's eyes.

She didn't give him any more time to lose his temper and directly pulled him into her embrace.

Liu Yunqi wanted to struggle, but he realized that her arm was not moving at all, it was just like an iron bar, causing him to be unable to move at all.

Hugging Liu Yunqi, Liu Xu rushed out of the courtyard, she felt that the guard was approaching the room, although two guards were nothing to her, but they were family, she would not do anything if she could not help.

Seeing Liu Xu carrying her and rushing out of the courtyard, Liu Yunqi was stunned.

He was not surprised at her behavior, but at her speed.

It was too fast! In the blink of an eye, he had already climbed over the wall and left the courtyard.

"What's going on? Could it be that there are martial arts in this world? This big sister is also a martial arts expert?! " Until Liu Xu brought him up to the roof, Liu Yunqi unconsciously became excited, all of his unhappiness from before was completely forgotten.

"It's rare to meet a martial arts expert. Why don't I hug her and beg her to accept me as a disciple?" Thinking that he could also be like a martial arts expert in the future, Liu Yunqi laughed out loud in excitement.

Hearing Liu Yunqi's somewhat excited laughter, Liu Xu immediately had some doubts in her heart, "What's wrong? Weren't you angry just now? Why was he laughing all of a sudden? Could it be that it's very interesting to fly with him? "

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Xu's mouth curved up in a smile, and she once again silently increased her speed. While rushing there, she also wanted to make Liu Yunqi happier.

In the air above Duke Mansion, a dark shadow was moving swiftly on the roof, just like a martial arts expert in the wuxia novels. It never stopped at a single spot for more than a second, moving freely, moving like the wind, as though it was floating.

In Liu Xu's arms, Liu Yunqi enjoyed the feeling of flying, instantly feeling relaxed and happy.

It was only until they were about to leave the range of Duke Mansion did Liu Yunqi finally remember, "In the blink of an eye, she is about to leave her house. Where is she bringing me to? Could it be that she took a fancy to my beauty and decided to elope with me? Omaha, I've only known you for a few days. "How can that be? I'm not ready yet." He shyly looked at her as he thought.

Seeing Liu Yunqi's strange expression, Liu Xu was startled, her heart was puzzled, what was happening to him? Weren't you very happy just now? Why did he suddenly … Alright, he wasn't unhappy. She didn't know why, but she felt it was weird.

"Ai ~ It's so hard to understand a child's mind ~"

Both parties finally arrived at their destination while deep in their hearts. They saw a black Beast Cart waiting for them on the street ahead.

Liu Xu flew down from the rooftop, quickly bringing Liu Yunqi into the center of the Beast Cart.

"Jia!"

Without waiting for Liu Yunqi to steady himself, the Beast Cart started to quickly head towards the city gate. It was not too late yet, as long as he was fast enough, it was not too late.

Duke Mansion, on top of the roof.

Liu Shang and Uncle Fu watched the Beast Cart speed forward in silence for a long time. Not long after, the Beast Cart completely disappeared into the night, disappearing from their line of sight.

Uncle Fu's face was full of worry as he said, "Duke, doing this … Is that really possible? "

"This is the only option left. After protecting them for so many years, he thought that he would be able to hold on until the day he found the Thunder Monarch.

Unfortunately, a human being is not as good as the heavens. He had walked in front of them in the end. He wondered how many people still remembered what happened that year.

He didn't know when the news would reach those people.

"I just hope to send him away before anything happens. I don't want the events from five years ago to happen again …" Liu Shang sighed with a face full of reminiscence.

"But, the Little Young Master is still so young, could he …"

"He was destined to walk an extraordinary path the moment he was born. What does it mean to have a physique with all the attributes?

This meant that as long as he became a mage, he would have the chance to enter the Saint realm.

How tempting was the temptation of a Saint?

How big of a threat was a Saint?

Because of this, from the day he was born, his fate was destined to be rough.

That time, he almost lost his life.

It was because of that time that people thought that he was already dead. That was why he was able to live such a peaceful life for four years.

In the past four years, I hadn't let anyone see him, had locked him in his wife's room, and wanted her to protect our Qi'er in heaven.

In the end, it was a coincidence that caused him to lose his words!

Initially, he had thought that if everything went well, he would be able to escape this predicament if he could find the Thunder Monarch and have Yunqi take him as his master.

However, it's not easy to find an Elemental Envoy. It's been five years, and there still hasn't been any news from Thunder Monarch.

If Yunqi did not run out secretly, he could have continued searching, but now …

Right now, we no longer have the ability to protect him, so putting Yunqi in Xuer's disciple is not a bad choice. We can learn a few skills, but we can also block some small fries. " Liu Shang sighed and said.

"But, Duke, didn't someone spread the news back then that Thunder Monarch had already died in the Taboo Sea? Could it be true? " Uncle Fu said hesitantly.

"No, I believe others would die, but Thunder Monarch cannot. Back then, I was fortunate enough to see his strength.

With just a thought, he would be able to gather lightning to become beasts for his use. By relying on this move, he wouldn't have been able to die even if he had been besieged by so many people all those years ago. "He died so easily with this kind of strength?" Liu Shang shook his head and said.

"But according to the legends, Taboo Sea is one of the six forbidden grounds where Saints had fallen before. No matter how powerful he is, if he's in the eyes of the storm, then he's definitely dead!" Uncle Fu said with some guesses.

"Hahaha, you are underestimating him. How much do you know about people who can reach his level? How much does the world know? An expert would only display his appearance, if people knew of his trump card, he would not be called an expert, what's more the legendary Thunder Monarch? "Send some people to chase after them, aren't we supposed to do the entire act?" With that, Liu Shang stopped in his tracks. After a second, his figure gradually disappeared in a few minutes, to everyone's surprise, it was only an afterimage.

Uncle Fu gasped, muttering to himself, "The Duke has become stronger again, could it be that he has already reached that realm?" Before he finished his sentence, Uncle Fu had also disappeared.
