After a moment of darkness, it felt like an indeterminate amount of time had passed before Chen Mo gradually regained consciousness. He was back on the same bed, with his legs once again secured by the original iron shackles.
Unable to escape.
Chen Mo lowered his head and looked at the shackles on his legs, his face dark and his eyes fixed for a moment. After a moment, he finally came to his senses.
By the way, he had tried to escape earlier and then ran into Liu Wuixin.
Damn it, that means he failed in his attempt to escape again.
Chen Mo sighed and rubbed his forehead, feeling a surge of sorrow.
Is it really going to be trapped here for life by Liu Wuixin?
Click-clack——
Suddenly, a door creaking sound was heard, and as Chen Mo, who was feeling frustrated, suddenly became vigilant, he immediately sat up straight, his eyes fixated on the door, waiting for the arrival of the person.
Is it Liu Wuixin, or Feng Banxia?
While Chen Mo was pondering, the person had already revealed their true identity.
Clad in a long red dress, her dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall to her waist. A red veil obscured her features, but her eyes sparkled like stars.
Cloud Spring Chun
"Yes, that's right. Earlier, Feng Banxia was fooled by me and almost let me escape. Although Wuxin trusts Feng Banxia very much, he will never let her continue to guard me anymore."
"Only, it won't be easy to deal with if there's a change in personnel."
Chen Mo shook his head gently, with a trace of worry in his brow.
This Yun Chunqiu is not as easy to fool as Feng Banxia. First of all, she is not like Feng Banxia with simple-mindedness and physical strength.
Secondly, Yun Chunqiu is absolutely loyal to Liu Wuixin, and it is for this reason that he chose her to guard him here.
If it were Liu Wuixin's orders, she had never disobeyed before.
If she guards him, then Chen Mo's escape will probably be much more difficult.
Chen Mo gave up struggling and lay back on the bed, lost in thought.
Tada tada——
The footsteps of Yun Chunqiu gradually approached from a distance. Chen Mo didn't bother to care, but as the sound of 'plunk' fell, he suddenly felt the shackles on his legs disappear in the next moment.
Chen Mo was somewhat stunned as he sat up, looking at Yun Chunqiu, who had unlocked him, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Chen Mo opened his mouth and stared at Yun Chunqiu with wide eyes, "You..."
"Before the Emperor returns, you should leave as soon as possible. If he comes back, you won't be able to escape."
Yun Chunqiu lightly spoke a sentence, his eyes carrying a trace of complicated color, as if he regretted giving Chen Mo the key and letting him go.
"Why would you... let me go?"
Chen Mo was puzzled. Based on his understanding of Yun Chunqiu, she would never defy Liu Wuixin.
Why would she do this? Does she not fear Liu Wuixin's reprimand?
"It was uncle... Zhang Long who told me to do this."
Yun Chunqiu gave an answer and looked at Chen Mo, noticing the suspicious look in his eyes. She quickly added: "Uncle Zhang saved me and is like a lifesaver to me. I am just repaying him for saving me. Don't think too much."
"Really?"
Chen Mo stroked his chin with his right hand and smiled, "Or maybe, you have other thoughts? Like, do you like..."
"Are you going to leave, or not? If not, I'll go call the Emperor."
Yun Chunqiu immediately lost her temper and roared, scaring Chen Mo to quickly run to the door.
"Yun Chunqiu, don't you fear Liu Wuixin's blame for letting me go like this?"
Yun Chunqiu did not answer.
Chen Mo continued to smile and say: "Oh, there really is a man..."
"Your Majesty..."
Yun Chunqiu shouted loudly, about to summon Liu Wuixin, but Chen Mo was panic-stricken. He no longer dared to joke with her and turned around to leave the dungeon.
"The stinky man, how could I possibly like those stinky men?"
Yun Chunqiu clutched the hem of her dress with both hands, her expression complex as she stared at the door, "It's just that I owe someone a favor, that's all. Yes, that must be it."
The Imperial City is quiet and still, but from time to time, high-level cultivators can be seen patrolling in all directions.
Chen Mo worried about being discovered by Liu Wuxin or her informants, so he stealthily wandered around the Imperial City, looking for opportunities to escape.
Suddenly, he spotted a beast-drawn carriage, which seemed to be preparing to leave the Imperial City.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mo secretly rejoiced and quickly jumped into the carriage, finding a secluded corner to hide in.
"Banxia, this journey is long, please be very careful and safe."
"That's right. I've heard that the alien beasts in the restricted area are formidable. Now that you've abandoned array modification and are training your body, your strength has decreased, so you absolutely cannot act recklessly anymore."
Suddenly, a conversation could be heard outside the beast carriage.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since the Emperor has entrusted me with the task of going to the restricted area, it must be to allow me to grow. I will definitely be careful, but as for my body cultivation technique, it naturally requires combat. How can I advance my realm without fighting?"
The voice of Feng Banxia came through, and her tone was filled with excitement.
It seems that the terrifying alien beasts in the eyes of others became mere toys for her to play with.
"We won't say any more about the nice things. But remember to be careful and safe, please don't lose your sanity because of the fight."
"That's right. You can fight, but you must not lose your wits; otherwise, you might not survive."
"We're not with you, so please be very careful and cautious."
……
One by one, words of advice were passed, and Feng Banxia nodded slightly before bidding farewell to the crowd of people seeing her off.
Later, Feng Banxia climbed onto the beast carriage and called out to her subordinates, and the carriage began to fly into the sky.
"Restricted area"
Feng Banxia walked into the carriage, sat down without any hesitation, and gazed out the window. After waving goodbye to the people below, she pulled down the curtain.
Plunk
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the corner and startled Feng Banxia. She leaped to her feet and alertly roared, lifting her fist to strike.
"Don't be excited, it's me."
Chen Mo quickly spoke, calling out to Feng Banxia.
Hearing the familiar voice, Feng Banxia immediately stopped her actions, blinked her eyes a few times, and stared at Chen Mo blankly for a while.
"Chen Mo?"
Feng Banxia let out a scream, but before she could finish speaking, Chen Mo reacted quickly and stepped forward, covering her mouth with both hands.
"Shut up, be quiet. If Wuxin hears us, I'll get caught again."
Chen Mo whispered, his hands tightly covering Feng Banxia's mouth, not daring to let go. When he saw her blank eyes blink seriously and then nod in agreement, he finally released his grip.
"Chen Mo, how are you here?"
Feng Banxia opened her mouth, her voice was so loud that it startled Chen Mo again. He tried to cover Feng Banxia's mouth again, but she lifted her hand to block Chen Mo's move.
"Don't worry, the Emperor isn't in the Imperial City or in the Capital. She's gone."
"Gone? Where did she go?"
Chen Mo frowned slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Banxia thought for a moment, "The Central Plains."
