Chapter 55

She knocked again, reached out and pushed the door. The door was unlocked and opened slowly with a squeak.　　

The hall was a bit dim, and the fine dust flew up and down in the beam of light coming obliquely.　　

Ye Peitian looked at her in the faint sunlight, startling Chu Qianxun.　　

When Chu Qianxun left, he was sitting in this position.

Nearly a month had passed. If it weren’t for the change in his clothes, Chu Qianxun would have suspected that he hadn’t left that position at all

Ye Peitian looked haggard with thick dark circles under his eyes. He was staring at Chu Qianxun’s eyes full of emotions.　　

Chu Qianxun went in and was about to speak.　　

Ye Peitian suddenly looked away and stared at the ground in the lower left corner. Then he said with a dry, hoarse voice, “You go. Leave from here.”　　

“What’s wrong?” Chu Qianxun froze a little.　　

Ye Peitian didn’t look at her, frowned and closed his eyes.

Chu Qianxun felt a little uncomfortable, but she was no longer the kind of emotional girl who was blindly impulsive in adolescence. She didn’t want to cause misunderstandings.　

“You calm down first, did you misunderstand? I didn’t come to see you as I promised because I was injured in the battle and had to recuperate for half a month,” she tried to explain gently.　　

When Ye Peitian heard this, he raised his head. His eyes fluctuated and raised his hand slightly as if to say something.　

But then he slowly lowered his eyelashes and lowered his hand, “Go, leave now. Don’t come to me again.”

Chu Qianxun took two steps forward. She didn’t understand why.　　

Ye Peitian raised his gaze, a red crimson appeared in his eyes and for a moment the gentle boy looked like a veritable bloodthirsty demon king, “Leave from here, Go, I…” 

He gritted his teeth. The violent killing intention almost filled the gradually darkened hall.　　

Chu Qianxun didn’t understand why Ye Peitian wanted her to leave. She was silent for a while, and finally turned around and left.

Stepping on the cold sand step by step, Chu Qianxun touched her chest, feeling that it was both sour and sad. Even when the rogue pierced through her abdomen, her body wasn’t so uncomfortable.　

‘It’s just a man. I have experienced all kinds of difficult things. Why should I still care about such a small thing?‘ She said to herself.

On the horizon, the glow of the setting sun was slowly disappearing, and there was gradually a strange smoke,　　

Only when a large number of men and women approached from all sides would they be able to raise such a battle.

A rapid footsteps sounded behind her, and she turned her head. Ye Peitian flew all the way out of the castle and grabbed her by the arm.　　

“It’s too late, you come with me,” the man seemed depressed and sad.

Ye Peitian dragged her all the way back to the castle.

The two returned to the castle hall and took a breath. Ye Peitian raised his hand and the castle door slammed shut.

The sand inside the castle was rolling, and a wall of yellow sand rose at the same time at all the doors and windows. As all the vents were sealed, the light in the hall was gone.

The ground began to shake slowly, and the entire castle sank.　　

Ye Peitian just looked at Chu Qianxun in front of him.

At this moment, Chu Qianxun suddenly understood the sadness in his eyes.　　

“Is there an enemy coming? What are you going to do?” She took Ye Peitian’s arm.

The last rays of light in the tall windows were about to disappear.

Ye Peitian pulled out a night light and turned it on. He took Chu Qianxun’s hand 

and carefully placed the lamp in her hands.

He lowered his gaze for a moment on the cheap plastic lamp. Then he raised his hand, 

separated the gravel on the wall and walked through it.　　

Chu Qianxun followed two steps forward, and the gap in the wall quickly closed before her eyes.

The ground beneath her feet shook more violently, and even produced a sense of weightlessness. Chu Qianxun knew she was buried deep into the ground with the entire castle.　　

She didn’t know how long it had been sinking. Everything was quiet. She could only hear the faint sound of the earth above her head.　　

There was a fierce desperate fight.　　

But the entire castle where she was in, was quiet and stable, dark and dull. All the doors and windows were closed by yellow sand. This was deep underground, and she couldn’t live for a long time with limited air.　　

Chu Qianxun held the tiny light in her hand and walked forward to the wall.　　

A small round hole appeared in the wall in front of her. The hole grew bigger, gradually becoming a tunnel in which one could barely walk through. The tunnel extended towards the endless darkness in front.

Chu Qianxun knew that this was Ye Peitian’s intention. He told her to walk along this tunnel.

The man was fighting many enemies on the ground, but he was still distracted to let her run away.
