His pale skin only made the color of his blood more glaring.

It was unknown whether it was because Lu Sobbing had pushed him too hard, or because there was already a wound on his forehead from Ran Shisan Qian. In this short period of time, blood had already flowed out from under the thick cloth.

He did not dare to struggle, but used his other hand to cover his forehead. His whimpering voice became softer, and his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was extremely afraid of Lu Weeping.

When Lu Sobbing saw the blood, she was also startled. The anger in her eyes that had not dispersed turned into guilt. Lu Sobbing supported him by supporting him with his shoulders, he apologized in a low voice, "Just now, I was too anxious. My strength had increased by a few points, I'm sorry."

As if frightened by something, he fell back, his back hitting the table with a dull thud. The lips that lost blood trembled as they opened and closed, his voice was hoarse and difficult to distinguish. I was wrong... No, don't hit... "Hit me …"

Weeping Lu leaned forward, using her palm to block the corner of the table before the back of his head was placed on it, and then said helplessly, "You're right, it's my fault. I've hurt you. Also, it's over. No one will hit you anymore. I won't hit you, and no one will ever hit you again. "

"But, I … "I …"

Weeping Lu used her other hand to rub his hair, gently comforting him as if he were a child: "Well, don't be afraid, it's all over. In the future, whoever dares to hit you, I will beat him until his parents can't even recognize him — so you don't have to be afraid. "

"I... "Right." A short hesitation, a simple reply, a child's gullibility.

Lu Sobbing took a slightly easier position, using both of her hands to help him up. "Come, let's go back to your room first. I'll help you apply medicine to the wound."

"Mom, I'm hungry."

After a long while, the man in Lu Sobbing woke up with another "Mother" in his arms. The corners of his mouth twitched, making his expression and tone a little more natural, "Go back and apply the medicine first. I will have the waiter bring the dishes up."

Xiao Tao picked up the fox fur coat, "Marquis Lu, yours..."

Lu Sobbing half supported Ran and half dragged her back up the stairs. When she heard this, she glanced back and said in a bad mood, "Don't!"

"Huh?" The one who had exclaimed in astonishment was the little guard beside him. With just one look, he could tell that the fox fur coat was worth a lot of silver. He remembered someone mentioning that the fox fur coats worn by these rich young masters costed a few hundred silver each. Several hundred taels of silver …. It would take him five years, maybe more, to earn this job where he could lose his life at any time... Not going to accept it just like that?

"I'll give it to you. If you wash it, you can get a few hundred silver taels." Lu Sobbing answered without even turning her head around.

The guard blinked and then rubbed his ears. He looked at Xiao Tao, who was looking down at his fox fur coat, and probed, "Master, who does this belong to?"

Xiao Tao stared at him and stuffed the fox fur coat into his hands, "Go and wash it properly!" He then added, "Return it to Marquis Lu!"

The little guard received it in a daze. He did not feel regretful, but nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll go now."

Xiao Tao did not have the mood to talk to him, so he waved to the waiter beside him: "Find two strong ones and bring a bucket of hot water over. "By the way, there's still some food, send another one up."

— —

"Sir Ren, please excuse me." The two of them entered the room, and Ran Shicheng took a few steps back, bowing and bowing to Lu Sobbing.

Lu Sobbing closed the door, shrugged, and said indifferently: "What offense? It's just that some food was spilled. " Pausing for a moment, he seemed to recall something as he reminded, "Don't call me Young Noble Ren, I've long since stopped calling me Ren."

"Then what should I call him?"

Lu Sobbing looked at him and smiled. "You're still calling me …"

"Eldest Young Master."

"..." "Alright." After Lu Sobbing said that last word, she turned her head to look at Gong Jue, who was kneeling on one knee, with an unfriendly expression, "You learned to interrupt when I was talking to you?"

"I didn't mean to."

Lu Sobbing didn't bother too much about it, and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it's just a form of address, it's nothing much. Tell me, why are you so anxious to tell me? " He pulled out a chair and sat down.

Gong Tianni was a bit embarrassed. "I'm fine …" is that you should pay your respects to the young master when he comes in. "

Lu Sobbing rubbed his forehead, "One called me 'Young Master Ren' and the other called me 'Eldest Young Master'. Are you afraid that I would forget my identity, or are you afraid that I would steal your master's identity?"

Ran Shisui smiled, and readdressed Lu Sobbing in a voice almost overshadowed by Gong Qing's. "Young Master is overthinking."

Gong Tianni hurriedly said: "This subordinate did not intend to do that, I have spoken wrongly. I hope that Young Master can punish me."

Lu Sobbing shook his head, indicating that they did not need to do so, "Call them whatever you want. After this performance, no one will follow us. The two of you were also people they couldn't see. "

He pursed his lips, seeming to be smiling, but also seeming to be sighing, "Who, aren't we people who can't face the light?"

Lu Sobbing looked at Gong Qing, a bitter smile flashed across their eyes, and they said in disappointment, "That's right."

"The meal today was prepared by Xue Feng, right? His craftsmanship is much better than it was a few years ago. " He quickly changed the topic.

"You can taste it even with that way of eating?" Lu Sobbing laughed out loud.

"That's because young master did not eat it. Otherwise, he would also find it delicious," said Ran Ran.

Lu Sobbing clicked her tongue and looked at Gong Tianlang, "It's all taught by the Poison Hall. The gap between them is not small at all."

Gong Tianxiong answered without thinking, "I'm a poison user after all, so I didn't get Master to teach me how to use poison when I can eat people to their deaths."

Weeping Lu looked around the room, asking, "Other than this room, how many other secret passages are there?"

"Young master, are you asking about this inn? There are three other places." "This is Sky No. 1 Room, the Sky No. 6 room opposite it, the kitchen on the first floor, the wine cellar."

He slowly removed the strip of cloth from his forehead and paused when he heard this. "Why did you add a secret passage to Sky No. 6?"

Gongzi continued, "Young Master has ordered that there is a secret passageway with the number six of the Heavenly character that can only be entered and not exited. Inside the secret passage, there was a mechanism that was connected to this room. If Sky No. 1 was discovered, the mechanism here could be destroyed from Sky No. 6. Therefore, Sky Six's secret scripture will not be used rashly. "

Ran Shisui glanced at Lu Sobbing. Seeing him shrug his shoulders, he asked, "Which young master is it?"

Gongzi realized that his words weren't accurate, so he could only grit his teeth in secret. He then nodded and replied: "The mechanism was modified by Young Master personally drawing the blueprints." The title in his answer was still the same.

"What is his profound meaning in modifying it like this?"

"As you know, the Sky Room is on the second floor, and the passage is underground. The only way to get into the tunnel was to take advantage of the three foot thick hollow wall. The corner of the first floor was the kitchen, so no one cared if there was a mechanism around the corner. He lowered the human from the hollow wall with the rope and opened a secret door. Then, he would enter the secret passage. Do you remember that the secret door was not located directly below it? "

"There are two secret tunnels beneath the kitchen. With a turn of the mechanism handle, there is a secret tunnel leading straight down. This is a dead end. After twisting the mechanism handle another half a circle, another hidden path would open up on the left side of the stone wall of the underground passage. This secret passage was the only way to enter the Hall of Blood. The secret passageway in this room would directly send a person into the secret passageway on the path of survival. After another ten steps, one would reach the hidden door. "This location..."

"It's Sky No. 6 Room." Gong Tianyi gave an indifferent answer and continued, "Room no. 6, is nothing more than preparing an extra way to leave. After all, both the kitchen and the wine cellar were on the ground. However, these two floating 'secret passages' were able to directly enter the 'path of survival'. Therefore, there was a self-destructing mechanism hidden beneath each of these two rooms. This mechanism could lock up two rooms from any side. Once it is closed, it cannot be used again. "

When he heard the last eight words, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he muttered, "This really does resemble that young master's methods …"

Lu Sobbing twitched her lips, "You two better not keep up with each other. Young master is young master, and he has always been the only one. Where did this one come from?" His tone sounded dissatisfied, but it was more of a joke.

"Young Master has always been the only one. It has nothing to do with who will take off the mask." He raised his head, looked at Xi Ri Qian and narrowed his eyes, "Aren't you and I only loyal to one person?"

The day before, he had knelt down on one knee to greet this "shadow." Now, he was still kneeling on one knee in a submissive manner, but his eyes were overbearing.

At the same time, those who had followed him for ten years, Gongzi, who had the guts, had the right to use an almost interrogative tone to probe the sincerity of this' gongzi ', who was as strong as an arm.

Weeping Lu did not say anything. In other words, he chose to acquiesce.

Not much time had passed, and there was no change in Ran Shicheng's expression. He said softly, "My apologies, I spoke wrongly." He lowered himself to his knees and said, "The people I swear my loyalty to have never changed."

Lu Sobbing was about to reply when her gaze shifted slightly, landing on the direction of the door.

Almost at the same time, Gong Mi lightly pressed his palms on the ground, stood up, and retreated silently, disappearing into the darkness.

"Marquis Lu, I've got some hot water. Do you want to wash and scrub them?" In Xiao Tao's arms was a large wooden basin. He used his shoulder to slam open the door and looked at the two people in the room. He was stunned.

Lu Sobbing was still in a sorry state. She sat at the table with one hand on her forehead and sighed. As for Ran Shisui, who was kneeling by the side, he used his finger to dip it into the blood on his face and drew something on the ground. After removing the piece of cloth from his face, even the word "flesh and blood" was insufficient to describe his face. If it really had to be described, it must be the appearance of someone who had shed half of his face and was bleeding profusely.

With such a face, even Xiao Tao, who was used to seeing the limbs of the dead, could not help but be shocked.

Lu Sobbing lifted her eyes and looked at Xiao Tao. The strength that she seemed to have in explaining vanished completely, "Gu."
