C348 There will be a price to pay sooner or later

"Yes, I understand."

The two of them slipped into their respective rooms. When they came out again, they had already changed into men's clothing that was completely black.

Once the time is ripe, Yue Liusu will be the first to leave the courtyard. While the guards change shifts, they will silently travel through the long corridor of Yue Mansion, and then disappear into the moonlight.

"Dong, dong, dong."

"Who is it?" While Jing Qiao was still in a daze, he heard a series of rhythmic knocks on the door.

"Dong, dong, dong." Yue Liusu didn't speak, and then knocked on the door again with a very rhythmic rhythm.

"Coming, coming." Jing Qiao quickly got up, bent his waist, and vigilantly opened the door. At this moment, a black figure quickly entered the room! Jing Qiao made a backhand grab.

Yue Liusu's nimble body flashed, and nimbly dodged the attack, following up with another flying dragon above the tree!

Yue Liusu cursed in his heart! Ye Zichen suddenly shrank back, then flipped 180 degrees in the air to avoid the attack.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Yue Liusu saw that Jing Qiao had gotten addicted to playing and quickly revealed his identity, "Stop it, I'm just playing around with you, and you're serious now?"

Only then did Jing Qiao recognize Yue Liusu's voice, "Girl? It's so late, why are you here!? "

He hurriedly went forward to direct the light, and only then did he see a black-clothed Yue Liusu. Other than his face, his entire body was black.

"Look at you, a girl wearing a black suit barging into a girl's room, what does it look like?" The more Jing Qiao spoke, the more addicted he got.

"Oh oh oh, you want to ask you, who did you learn those few moves from? I didn't know you were so disrespectful! " Yue Liusu ridiculed, his nimble body turned, and sat in front of Jing Qiao.

Jing Qiao poured a cup of warm tea for Yue Liusu, "I didn't learn it from anyone, it's all for self-defense."

"Is that so?" Yue Liusu's eyes showed that he did not believe it.

"Ai ai ai ai, if you don't believe me, what else can I do!?" Jing Qiao was afraid that because of his guilt, he spoke with a much higher tone than before.

"Oh right, so you're alone? "Where's Yin?"

"Here …"

Yue Liusu had not finished speaking when Liu Yiner and Jing Yao walked in one after the other. It could be seen that a certain someone was shyly lagging behind, with his head lowered in silence.

Yue Liusu raised her eyebrows, what the hell was going on?

"Hmm?" Yue Liusu shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.

"What are you doing here tonight?" Jing Qiao asked, just as he was sleeping soundly, they came.

Only then did Yue Liusu remember the important matter, "Aiya! "I actually forgot about that. Yin Er and I haven't had anything to eat yet, so why don't you go to the kitchen and get us some food?" Yue Liusu drank another mouthful of tea before realizing that his stomach was about to flat from hunger.

"Really?" You guys still haven't eaten even after returning to the Yue Mansion? God! What did you guys do when you got back? " Jing Qiao had a face full of disbelief.

Yue Liusu sighed, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that now that my Yue Mansion is in such a mess, you all can't see it. After finishing this meal, there's definitely a lot of things that I need to do tomorrow, and I probably won't be able to come for the next few days."

"I'll give you a reminder now. From today onwards, until the next time we come, it's best if you don't leave the inn." Yue Liusu's gaze was solemn. In two days, Yue Cheng would go to the border to fight in the war, and in these two days, the Imperial City would definitely be recruiting again. Since Jing Qiao and the others were from other places, if they were not careful, they would go in.

"We understand, you have said this many times already. brother Yao and I will be careful, right brother Yao!" Jing Qiao tilted his head and looked at the silent Jing Yao.

Suddenly, Jing Yao stood up with a "teng", his calm expression revealing a hint of hesitation, "I'll go down and get a table of food up, you guys continue chatting."

Thus, he left without turning back.

My god, what the hell is going on?

Yue Liusu was completely confused. He was still fine just now, this …

She casually knocked on the melon seeds, her beautiful face was filled with confusion, and then she cast her gaze back at Liu Yiner.

When Liu Yiner saw it, he shook his head and denied it, "Don't look at me, I really don't know anything. I only, only..."

Saying that, he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yue Liusu, "..."

Jing Qiao, "..."

Very soon, a table full of dishes was served, and a few of them were eating slowly.

"Where's the elder?" Yue Liusu asked inadvertently.

"I was drunk the moment I arrived at the inn and kept talking nonsense. I'm still sleeping." Jing Qiao was helpless.

"Right."

"There's war at the borders, and the citizens are not comfortable with it. Right now, we're hunting for strong men everywhere. This afternoon, when Yin Er and I left, we even saw students from Profound Sky Academy." Yue Liusu put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression, "My previous guess was right."

"Do you know? All the students of Profound Sky Academy were given to the imperial city by Ouyang Hongkun. "

"What did you say!" Jing Qiao and Jing Yao were extremely shocked.

What I said was all true. Before this, I had thought that the number of people in the academy had decreased by a lot after we returned to the Profound Sky Academy, so that's how it was. I had thought that the reason the soldiers from the Imperial City were stationed at the Tianxuan Town was because of that. Yue Liusu asked.

"I remember." Jing Qiao and Jing Yao nodded.

"Why did they give way to us that day? Just because we are students of Profound Sky Academy? No! You think too much. At that time, they already knew that we would be sold to the Imperial City by Ouyang Hongkun. "

"Profound Sky Academy is the number one academy after all. It's best if all the students with potential in their Profound Sky Continent are there, tell me … If there was a war at the border, would they choose students with potential, or would they choose people who are unable to even grasp the basics of soul power? " Yue Liusu smiled, she was not jealous, they had been tricked by Ouyang Hongkun from the beginning.

Right now, Ouyang Hongkun was afraid that he had already reached the imperial city.

"If that's the case, then we …" When Jing Yao thought about this, he suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

"That's right, so I want all of you to hide here. It would be best if you don't go out for the next few days, do you understand?" Yue Liusu said cautiously.

"I see. I'll take care of Stupid Joe." Jing Yao was a perceptive person, his brain was indeed more than a little better than Jing Qiao.

I'm going to take Yin Er back. I'm a Direct Daughter of the Yue Mansion, so logically speaking, Ouyang Hongkun wouldn't be able to touch me, but you guys … " Yue Liusu said worriedly.

She was still thinking if she could get both of them into her Yue Mansion. After thinking about it again and again, she still couldn't come up with a good idea. Although hiding two people in her courtyard wasn't too difficult, but …

After thinking about it, they could only hide in the tavern. As long as the soldiers didn't go out of their way to search for them, there would be no problem.

"Don't worry, brother Yao and I will not be captured. We will wait here for you guys to come back." Jing Qiao patted his chest in promise.

Yue Liusu looked at each other and laughed, "Alright, I know that you two are safe and sound. Alas, Yin Er and I will come out to find you two when we have the chance, you must remember, in these two days, if anything were to happen, you two must use the letter to contact me, understand?"

"Mm. You guys have to be careful as well."

They said their goodbyes and left.

Yue Liusu brought Liu Yiner and once again, quietly slipped into the Yue Mansion.

The next day, at dawn, Yue Liusu got up and changed into a purple flowing cloud dress. The purple color was extremely charming, just right for her.

Early in the morning, Yue Cheng sent someone to invite Yue Liusu for breakfast.

"Are you coming with me? Or do you want to stay here and wait for me to come back? " Yue Liusu stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around Shen Jueming's neck, unwilling to leave his warm embrace as she greedily enjoyed the gentleness that belonged to him.

"I'll go with you." Shen Jueming wrapped his arms around Yue Liusu's waist, and his body unconsciously leaned forward, allowing Yue Liusu to reach his waist so that he did not need to expend too much effort.

"Alright, when I get back, I'll cook for you alone. You can't just watch me eat out of pity." Yue Liusu smiled sweetly.

Well, she had a bad idea from the beginning.

Shen Jueming extended a slender finger and gently pinched Yue Liusu's small face, "Why is my Xiao Yue'Er so mischievous?"

"You're used to it." Yue Liusu subconsciously answered.

"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. I'll pack up my makeup and leave." Although Yue Liusu said it like that, she still did things slowly. She definitely could not let Yue Cheng feel that she was in a rush.

"Yesterday, I heard a sentence from Yue Cheng. I felt that I had gotten all the truth that I wanted, and now that I have stayed in the Yue Mansion, I just want to get all the losses back, or at least …" At the very least, they had lost the nine years they spent in that dilapidated wooden house.

Even if she was not Yue Cheng's biological daughter, she would not allow herself to be bullied like this. Her mother probably suffered a lot at the Yue Mansion, and in the end …

"Shen Jueming, I want to know if my mother is still alive." Yue Liusu turned around, her eyes full of determination and longing.

"Xiao Yue'Er, what do you want to do?" Shen Jueming went forward and hugged Yue Liusu. Seeing her like this caused his heart to ache.

"I remember Qiu Huayan saying before that my mother had disappeared. Because she left behind a large amount of bloodstains, she was deemed to have been eaten by the demonic beast, but not a single strand of hair was found."

"The time of disappearance was in Yue Cheng's first year of office, so it just so happens to be this house. But at that time, where did the demonic beast come from? I think someone did it on purpose. "

Yue Liusu guessed that there was someone who wanted to harm her mother. All of this was related to her Yue Mansion, especially when Qiu Huayan saw her panicked expression.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Yue Liusu laughed, and increased the distance between him and Shen Jueming, "It's getting late, I'll go over first."

"Be careful." Shen Jueming stooped down and kissed Yue Liusu's forehead, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

Yue Liusu calmed his emotions, then took a lotus step and headed towards the hall step by step.
