Within the castle, the long night was silent.

The big black bird buried her head in the wings that closed in front of her and stood sleeping at the door of the cell.　　

In the dark, Chu Qianxun slowly sat up.　　

The night there was quiet, she could clearly hear Xiaoyan’s long and regular breathing. There seemed to be the sound of a demon slowly climbing back and forth on the dome, and occasionally the old man’s hoarse gasping and coughing sound came.

It had been several days since she was imprisoned, and every night she slept so well and so deeply that these people gradually relaxed their vigilance. Chu Qianxun silently thought that Peitian should have returned to Spring City. After knowing her situation, he must have decided to rescue her.　

She didn’t let herself think much about Ye Peitian’s panic at the moment, nor did she think about the tragic situation that might happen when he arrived.　　

Ye Peitian was the strongest warrior of mankind, but he had a weakness, this weakness was her.　　

Only if she was weak would she be called a weakness.　　

Chu Qianxun quietly took a crystal core out of her pocket. Yu Yu maintained his demeanor. Except for not letting her carry her weapons, he didn’t search her body, did not move her close-fitting soft armor, nor take the crystal core she had with her.

The night there was quiet, and her heart was firmer than ever. She made a decision to advance to seventh-order that night before Ye Peitian arrived.

Maybe it wouldn’t do much, but it was the only thing she could do at the moment to make herself stronger.　　

After a few days of getting along, she knew that Yu Yu and Xiaoyan would not interfere with her advancement, because they were unlikely to watch her get demonized. At least as long as she was still useful to them.　

What if she really failed to advance?　　

Then she was also ready to survive in this world in another form.

Chu Qianxun gently called Ye Peitian’s name in the dark, and swallowed the seventh-order magic species silently.

…

The coldest season was over, and the early-growing branches had the smell of early spring, as one or two new green shoots arose from them. At the edge of the forest, four heavily-armed men descended from the carriage, and gazed at the endless stretches of dense forest.　　

Xin Ziming’s eyes that looked far into the distance glowed with silvery white light. After a while, he closed his eyes and retracted the eye totem above his head. 

He said to everyone, “I found them, good news, she is still alive.”

General Jiang took a long breath and patted his chest, “Oh, I am finally relieved. I have been so worried for the past few days and have never had a good night’s sleep.”　　

Chu Qianxun rescued him once in the devil’s cave, and released him from mental control in the battle with Yu Yu, saving him a second time. Even if he didn’t count these graces, in daily life, he and the older sister got along very well. He never wanted to see Chu Qianxun in trouble.

Compared with his excitement, Ye Peitian was quiet. He heard Xin Ziming’s sentence, but he closed his eyes.

Only Xin Ziming felt the strong pressure the man felt in his heart. After hearing his words, the violently fluctuating emotions rushed up and down the sea, and once approached the edge of the collapse. He was forced to hold it again.　　

“It’s okay. As long as she is alive, everything is easy to handle,” Xin Ziming patted Ye Peitian’s shoulder and comforted him.

At that moment, by the fire of the oil lamp, he clearly saw the half demon Ye Peitian, the killing Emperor in his heart, had red eyes in the night.　　

Xin Ziming had seen Ye Peitian under the yellow sand on the moon night. His eyes were only indifferent and dead, overturning the world between his hands and burying countless souls.　　

In his mind, Ye Peitian was an emotionless fighting machine.　　

At this moment, he saw this man with red eyes, and suddenly found that the so-called half demon’s heart could also be soft, the blood would be hot, and there was no difference between him and ordinary people.

Xin Ziming was a little uncomfortable, and said a rare truth, “You can rest assured that I will do my best for you, and I will definitely rescue Qianxun.”　　

He spread out the map, circled the location of the demon with a red pen, and began to deploy the battle plan in detail, “There are four people in the castle, and only Qianxun’s energy fluctuation is familiar to me. But the remaining three people should be Yu Yu, Zhong Lixiao, and the woman with the face of a bird.” 

His pen on the map made a clear red arrow, “Peitian and I will go from the front, attracting Yu Yu’s attention. The two of you will go around from the side, and wait for my signal.”

He pointed to the earpiece that everyone had already worn.

“Especially Old Chen, it’s up to you to rescue Qianxun.”

“I will hold Yu Yu by myself. You go with them,” Ye Peitian objected and set his sights on Xin Ziming. He knew that if Xin Ziming did not participate in the battle and only concentrated on using his mental power to explore the whole audience, he could better grasp the overall situation. In order to ensure Qianxun’s safety, he did not care whether his battle was difficult.

Xin Zimin thought about it and asked, “Are you sure?”

Ye Peitian nodded slowly and firmly.
