"You just said …" You're not from the Third Prince? "

Jun Qiyan was a bit surprised. She hadn't expected that her lousy teammate would turn out to be a spy!

Heavens, isn't this surprise too sudden?

"In short, I won't harm you."

Yan Ruyu nodded, and just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside. Soon after, a voice chased in, "Why is it that long? Are you all right? Could something have gone wrong? "

Another soldier asked, about to push open the door and enter.

Yan Ruyu knew it wasn't convenient to talk too much at this time, so he could only stop the topic at hand. He suddenly stood up, opened the door to Jun Qianyan's cell, and walked straight in.

"You … What are you doing? "

Jun Qiyan frowned as she saw the soldiers walk in from outside the door. She then heard Yan Ruyu roughly shout, "I told you two brats to get so close! "Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

Yan Ruyu quietly gave Jun Qiyan a meaningful look, grabbed her arm with one hand and roughly pulled her up from the ground, then pushed her towards another cell far away from Di Mo Jiu.

"Hurry up, don't waste your time. We still need to patrol in a while!"

Seeing that Yan Ruyu's movements were so 'inflexible', the other soldier was clearly somewhat impatient. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted as he urged, "How long has it been since you slipped away?"

Yan Ruyu pretended to throw Jun Qiyan into another cell, placed the lock down, and left with the grumpy soldier.

The moment the door was closed, Yan Ruyu turned around to look at Di Mo Jiu and quietly nodded her head, as if she had sent a message.

The door was closed again, and the dungeon was dead silent once more.

Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu looked at each other without saying anything, and only chose to remain silent, closing their eyes to rest their minds.

In just a moment, another wave of footsteps came from afar. Compared to the previous time, this one sounded even more urgent and noisy. It was obvious that there were a lot of people here.

Although Jun Qiyan was' forced 'to change his cell, he was not too far away from Di Mo Jiu. As the sound of footsteps rang out, Jun Qiyan's gaze shifted to Di Mo Jiu who was sitting opposite of her.

From the looks of it, this was what the soldier had said, that it was time to confess in the afternoon.

Di Mo Jiu was still resting with his eyes closed. He didn't feel any panic or uneasiness towards the sound of footsteps. On the contrary, he was extremely calm, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The door was violently opened. This time, dozens of soldiers rushed in like a flood.

"Get up, get up!"

The person who was shouting was the leader of the soldiers they had met yesterday. He had his hands on his hips as he called out to his brothers behind him, "Take him away quickly, don't make the lord wait anymore!"

"Yes sir!"

In response, three soldiers walked up to the cell. One of them was responsible for opening the door, and the two of them quickly walked in. They grabbed Jun Qiyan's arms, one on each side of her, and lifted her up from the ground before following Di Mo Jiu into the so-called 'interrogation room'.

The interrogation room was filled with tools for torture, causing Jun Qianyan's brows to furrow. She subconsciously looked at Di Mo Jiu, but Di Mo Jiu maintained his indifferent expression.

This guy, does he not know how to be afraid?

Even though he knew that someone was coming to save him, at least he should at least put on a show.

"You two — who sent you?"

The leading soldier pulled up a chair and sat down. Then, he pointed at Di Mo Jiu and Jun Qianyan and shouted, "Who are you guys working for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ruyu grasped her long whip and walked in front of Jun Feiyan. He pulled at it a few times, causing a "pa" sound to ring out.

"No one is ordering me."

Jun Qiyan pursed her lips and spoke faintly, "Do something for yourself."

"A mere two people want to go against the shrine?"

The leader of the soldiers raised his head and laughed. Then, he ordered angrily, "Go and see if you have seen the coffin or not — tie it to the shelf! "Fight!"

In response, two soldiers came forward and dragged Jun Qiyan towards a wooden shelf at the back.

Looking at the familiar wooden frame of the cross, Jun Qiyan suddenly remembered the humiliation she had felt when she had been treated as a member of the demon race. A surge of emotions caused her spirit energy to begin to fluctuate, but because of the worms at her neck, this spirit energy had not been released, and instead made her feel even more miserable.

"Xiao Qi, wake up!"

Di Mo Jiu's heart tightened when he saw the strange expression on Jun Qiyan's face. He hurriedly said, "Xiao Qi, wake up!"

"Shut up!"

The leader of the soldiers threw a glance at Di Mo Jiu, and one of the soldiers immediately went up to Di Mo Jiu and kicked him in the chest!

Di Mo Jiu gave a muffled groan as he bent his body, and Jun Qianyan was also shocked by the sound of the groan for the rest of her life. She finally came back to her senses but discovered that her entire body was covered in sweat.

That was true. How could she forget that memory?

Even though the misunderstanding had been resolved, the suffocating pain still persisted after so many days.

"I'm fine."

Even though Jun Qiyan had said that, his voice had already turned cold, clearly affected by his memories.

Di Mo Jiu frowned and stopped talking.

Once again, Jun Qiyan was tied to a wooden shelf in the shape of a "X". Although she was trying her best to suppress her surging emotions, her malevolent expression betrayed her.

But in the eyes of these soldiers, Jun Qiyan's malevolence was not because of her pain, but because she was provoking and mocking them.

To them, this was undoubtedly an insult!

"Hit him!"

The first one who couldn't sit still was the leader of the soldiers. With a dark expression and an angry shout, Yan Ruyu slowly arrived in front of Jun Qianyan with his long whip in his hand.

"Bring it on."

Jun Qiyan sneered and secretly sent a meaningful glance to her, indicating that Yan Ruyu did not need to worry about himself and could just continue to carry out the plan.

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows loosened as he raised the whip in his hand high up and flung it towards Jun Feiyan!

Jun Qiyan closed her eyes, but didn't feel the whip. On the contrary, the cool thing on her neck seemed to have disappeared. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the Spirit fluke had already fallen to the ground and was writhing in the water.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

The soldiers immediately stood up and were about to rush over to surround Yan Ruyu. The other soldier was about to run outside to inform her, but Jun Qiyan had already activated his magic, causing the ground to freeze over. The soldiers could only stare blankly at his.
