Just as the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment, Shu Yao suddenly thought of something and got out of bed without hesitation.
But because his feet were unstable and he had just woken up, his head was spinning. His body staggered in place. Fortunately, Yan Yijue held him in time.
"You just woke up. Where are you going?" Yan Yijue frowned. But he was also surprised that he was worried about the weak Shu Yao. The pale face actually shook his coldness.
"I'm going to find Shu Yue. His situation must be difficult now. I'm going to rescue him." He shook off Yan Yijue's hand and wanted to find Shu Yue impulsively.
"What's wrong with him?"
"It's none of your business. Get out of the way."
"Tell me. Maybe I can help you." The careless words made Shu Yao stop his steps. He looked back with some doubts.
This Yan Yijue was always at odds with Shu Yue whenever he saw him. Why did he offer to help him today?
Looking at his skeptical eyes, Yan Yijue seemed to understand. He hooked his lips lazily with a smile. There was still a trace of unruly in his eyes. He slowly said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't think too much. I'm looking at you. Otherwise, whether he's dead or alive has nothing to do with me.
Shu Yao didn't have time to argue with him. He just asked faintly, "It's not that simple for you to help me. Say it. What do you want?"
Cold and ruthless as Yan Yijue, how could the Snake King do a deal without any benefits? It wasn't that simple.
Yan Yijue squinted his charming eyes. There was a bit of playfulness in his observation. He played with the silver hair hanging on his chest. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "What? Am I not kind in your eyes? I really want to help you."
The blood-colored pupils reflected this spotless figure. He became more interested in this interesting soul.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. There's no lie."
"Then can you guarantee to rescue Shu Yue quietly?"
"You should believe my strength." The slight arc of the corner of his mouth showed his self-confidence everywhere.
Although Shu Yao was still on guard against him, after all, Yan Yijue was not very friendly to them before. But now, only the Snake King Yan Yijue could rescue Shu Yue from the fire and water.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay. I believe you."
On the other side, there was a cold and abandoned room. The ceiling was dark and there were some abandoned books around. Obviously, it was a waste house that had been lost in the corner for years.
In this dark room, a dazzling white light came in through the window and shone on a man with wounds all over his body.
He was lying on his side on the ground weakly. His lips were pale with a little blood on them. His black hair fell down and covered half of his outline carved out of the hide. His proud sword-shaped eyebrows slanted slightly to his temples. His knitted eyebrows showed his forbearance of pain.
He was wearing a black robe covered with mottled wounds. Although black could cover the bright red blood easily, the deep wounds were still obviously exposed in the naked air.
A cold current blew over. The lying man moved his finger. He opened his deep eyes and looked at the dark environment around him.
He moved his body, but it was tearing pain. He could not help humming. He supported his body full of wounds and sat up. He raised his hand to block the dazzling light.
The pain on his body took away some of his sober consciousness. He shook his head and tried his best to recall what had happened before.
After sorting out his thoughts, he knew that he was locked up by the bastard Li Nao. He could not help sneering. But his face was covered with frost.
Looking at the shocking wounds on his body, he smiled arrogantly. He, Shu Yue, was used to being injured. But this flogging was really powerful.
Fortunately, his ability to withstand beatings was quite strong. Otherwise, after thirty lashes, he would have been almost a useless person.
Now that he was locked up, where was his father Shu Yao?
With the lecherous Li Nao coveting his father, he might do something beastly while he was away.
"Dad..." Occupied by uneasiness, he wanted to find Shu Yao wholeheartedly. But he ignored that he was locked in a dark place and could not escape.
He shook the two locked doors hard, but he was helpless. Coupled with his lack of strength due to his injury at this moment, he became weak after shaking for a while. Finally, it was fruitless.
At this moment, he was like a thousand ants turning around in a pot. He was afraid that the stinky Taoist priest would take advantage of Shu Yao. He was afraid that Shu Yao would really be humiliated by that person.
All those unimaginable possibilities kept turning in his mind. Shu Yue tried his best not to think wildly. But the uneasiness in his heart drove his increasingly tense nerves.
When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the two doors outside. With the slight shaking of the door, Shu Yue's vigilance was also improved.
His originally blurred consciousness suddenly became much clearer. The cold light shot out from his deep eyes was sharp. His whole body was tense. Although he was seriously injured, his momentum was not weakened at all.
Although he knew that he was unarmed now and had no ability to fight back against those who were about to provoke him.
Until the door opened, the light enveloped a pink figure. A beautiful face was refracted against the light. Her graceful figure and the pure orchid-like temperament made Shu Yue relax his vigilance.
"Kun, Kun Ling..." In surprise, he also saw a glimmer of dawn from the darkness.
When Kun Ling's sight fell on his mottled wounds, the distress in her almond eyes was obvious. She quickly closed the door. Her worried eyes swept across Shu Yue's body.
"How could they hurt you like this!" While indignant, Kun Ling did not dare to touch the shocking wounds. She knew that it must be very painful.
"Kun Ling, why did you come here? It's very dangerous for you to break in like this."
"I took the opportunity to run here when they were not paying attention. I heard that you were whipped thirty times by Li Nao and locked up. I wanted to rescue you."
Her clear eyes were always on Shu Yue. There was crystal turning occasionally. But she tried her best to hold back.
Although Shu Yue also wanted to go out, he did not want to implicate her. He refused decisively, "Kun Ling, I appreciate your kindness. But if I leave with you now, it will definitely bring trouble. I don't want to implicate you."
"If I was afraid of being implicated, I would not have come to rescue you at the risk of my life." His stubbornness made her unable to hate him. But it also made people feel distressed.
Even so, seeing her firmness, Shu Yue still refused to allow it, "You also know that you're here to take risks. Then why do you have to take this risk?" He hesitated for a while. Finally, he held her hand. His tone was flat, but he was cold and unyielding and did not allow her to choose, "Listen to me. Go back quickly. Don't care about me."
