At the very least, she wanted to help him escape from this sealed area. If she wanted a contract, she wouldn't reject it like she did before; at most, she would just go out and break it.
"Then how do I break the contract that you taught me?"
The reason why Mu Xiaoling asked was because she felt it was possible to break off the contract. She'd even guessed of a method, but she needed Xiao Yu's answer to confirm it.
Xiao Yu didn't want to say it, but after seeing Mu Xiaoling's resolute attitude, he said, "As long as the beast pet drinks the blood in your heart, it will be fine."
Mu Xiaoling nodded her head as expected.
However, Xiao Yu had a dissatisfied expression. "It's not easy to take the blood from your heart. You'll lose your life if you're the slightest bit weaker."
"I know." Mu Xiaoling paused for a moment, but she still said those words. Even though she knew that she didn't want to owe anyone else.
Xiao Yu sighed lightly. With a light wave of his hand, two gusts of wind blew the curtains back up, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"But …" Didn't you say that others would be suspicious … After Mu Xiaoling asked this question, she had a nagging feeling that if she were to ask Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu would probably say something annoying.
The two of them got off the bed and walked out of the stone room. Xiao Yu held onto Mu Xiaoling's hand as they leisurely walked through the long corridors. The black clothed devil cultivator that was shouting for them previously nodded his head respectfully and called out "Envoy Xiao" to them.
Xiao Yu smirked as he neared Mu Xiaoling's earlobe. He spoke in a low voice, "You've been in a coma for three days. That intruder has already been killed."
Mu Xiaoling felt the warm air on her face. It was warm, itchy, and a bit awkward. However, she understood that the other party was explaining to her that Xiao Yu had already properly arranged her identity in the past three days.
She was an orphan, and the only person she could rely on up to now was herself. The sudden appearance of such a person could always arrange her affairs so appropriately. This kind of feeling had never happened before.
Mu Xiaoling turned her face away as she felt that everything had gone wrong after their meeting. She didn't dare to and never expected to encounter such a situation.
The location of the dungeon was extremely hidden. The two of them passed through half of the underground palace before they saw an entrance. There were eight guards at the entrance, and they were all level 2 Martial Masters and above.
Mu Xiaoling's eyes swept over them, but she was glad that she met Xiao Yu's head. Otherwise, it would have been a tough battle for her if she had barged in by herself. Her expression changed as she saw the figure behind the guard's eyes and hid into Xiao Yu's embrace with a look of fear.
Xiao Yu embraced her and softly consoled her in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, today I only brought you here to relax and take a look at the excitement."
"Emissary Xiao sure is in a good mood. You didn't forget your little lover even in this kind of place." The man wearing a mask walked over from behind. His voice was full of mockery, yet it did not lose its grace.
"At least it's better than Vice Pavilion Master Lin being alone." Xiao Yu laughed softly, as if he didn't take that person's words seriously. He lowered his head and said to Mu Xiaoling in a soft voice, "Remember, this person is one of the two Vice Hall Masters. His name is Lin San.
Mu Xiaoling blinked and pretended not to understand as he asked, "Two Vice Hall Masters? What about the other one? "
Xiao Yu glanced at Lin San and said, "It's hanging inside."
"This Xue Qing doesn't know what's good for herself. Our hall master trusted him so he gave him the position of vice hall master. He didn't expect that he would abandon the position of west hall master for the sake of the enemy. How repulsive."
Mu Xiaoling sneered, "Isn't the most terrifying enemy a companion for your own blade and sword?"
"Oh?" Lin San looked at Mu Xiaoling and said, "It seems that Emissary Xiao's little lover has a good understanding of this matter."
Mu Xiaoling said, "I don't dare to accept your opinion. I just feel that some people don't have the time to talk. It's just that people are unhappy about it. People have their own names."
This way of saying things, it seemed that he was relying on the image of a little lover who doted on and did not make sense.
Lin San's initial suspicion vanished as he laughed loudly, "I'm Meng Lang. I hope Lady Mu will not take offense to it."
Mu Xiaoling lazily leaned against Xiao Yu's chest, "So you can still speak human words."
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go in and take a look." Xiao Yu came out in time to say something that would bring an end to what happened earlier.
When the eight guards saw Xiao Yu and Lin San making way, they took the initiative to unlock the door and push it open.
When the three of them entered the dungeon, Mu Xiaoling felt a cold and damp wind blowing through her body. When she looked forward, she found that there was a bit of white on the wall. It was actually an ice wall.
The dungeon was extremely dark, and only the torches on both sides carried light, but it did not shine too far. As soon as they entered, they found a torture chamber with rows of torture instruments placed on top of the table. Some of them even had fresh blood stains, indicating that they had been used recently.
Mu Xiaoling's heart slightly trembled. Recently, he had been using it on Xue Qing.
Xiao Yu gripped her hand tightly, but remained silent. Mu Xiaoling's heart sank and felt even more guilty towards Xue Qing.
After the torture chamber, there were two rows of old rooms, most of them empty. Lin San led the way into the last old room, where a man was hanging from a tree.
The subordinate who was following them took the initiative to open the cell door and step aside. Lin Sanjiu entered through the door first, and someone immediately brought a few chairs over, including Mu Xiaoling.
Lin San did not sit down. Instead, he walked in front of Xue Qing and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise his head. "The feeling of being in this dungeon is pretty good, Vice Pavilion Master Xue."
Even so, she was still calm and collected. Only when she saw Mu Xiaoling, she was slightly startled before looking back at Lin Sanjiu, "Why don't you take a look at what it is like and see?"
"Let's see how long you can last!" Lin San was furious and let go of the chair and sat down. "Come on, Vice Pavilion Master Xue. Continue beating him up, since you don't want to admit it!"
Immediately, a black-robed demonic cultivator brought his whip over and whispered, "Vice Hallmaster, it's best if you admit defeat. Who is that black-clothed man who escaped? If you did so earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
"I have nothing to say." No one could guess why he would still be laughing even though he was behaving in such a manner. Immediately afterwards, Xue Qing's expression turned grim as she said, "You just need to remember this. The day I escape is the day you die!"
