C282 Still not moving

"General Chu, we came together. I can't let you die in the palace, even if I can't get what we want, I have to save you."

"Xiao Yue, listen to me, you are not an ordinary person, you cannot leave your life here because of me, my death is not enough, you must not have any accidents."

The General Chu pushed Xiao Yue out of the Sky Prison, "Hurry up and go, if you don't leave now, it'll be too late.

"General Chu, don't say anymore, I can't even protect you, what face do you have to talk about such a big matter. Come with me immediately, quickly."

Xiao Yue supported General Chu, with determination in her eyes, she couldn't do anything about it.

If he really didn't want to leave, Xiao Yue would definitely not leave.

With Xiao Yue's support, the two of them carefully walked out.

"I've ordered all of them to stay asleep. They shouldn't be awake for a while. We just need to avoid the patrolling Imperial Guards and we'll be able to leave successfully."

"Alright."

Both of them were tense as they walked. When they saw that the palace wall was right in front of them, they saw hope in their eyes.

"General Chu, please hold on a little longer. We will arrive very soon."

"Alright."

At this moment, a flame suddenly lit up in front of them.

A trace of unease flashed on their faces.

, quickly leave. Don't worry about me.

"General Chu, follow me."

Xiao Yue did not plan to abandon the General Chu. She was just about to lead him and run in another direction when the patrolling guards discovered them.

"Men, capture the assassin!"

Xiao Yue panicked at the bottom of her heart.

At the moment, there were not many Imperial Guards left, but Xiao Yue was still able to handle them. After defeating a few of the Imperial Guards in front of her, she continued to come back to support General Chu and leave.

"Xiao Yue, quickly leave. I can't run anymore, the Imperial Guard will be here soon. If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

"General Chu, I won't abandon you …"

The Forbidden Army behind him began to chase relentlessly. General Chu was very clear that if this carried on, Xiao Yue's life would also be in this place.

He deserved to die, but Xiao Yue...

She absolutely could not die here!

In the next second, he held the blade he had snatched from the Imperial Guard earlier and placed it against his neck.

"Xiao Yue, if you don't leave, I'll die in front of you right now."

"No!" General Chu! "

Xiao Yue's eyes panicked, but just as she was about to step forward, General Chu's blade exerted a little more force, and her neck started bleeding.

"Xiao Yue, listen to me, quickly leave this place, and don't ever come back to save me again. Don't forget what you're carrying on your back."

"General Chu …"

Beneath the mask cloth, Xiao Yue's face had long been drenched with tears.

"Hurry up and leave."

Up ahead, the Imperial Guard was getting closer and closer. General Chu had already made up his mind not to leave, Xiao Yue had no choice but to leave General Chu behind while clenching his teeth.

Xiao Yue was forced to circle around the palace a few times. She did not know where she was, but the darkness of the night coupled with the pressure from the Imperial Guards caused her to lose her bearings in the palace.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her.

A trace of wariness rose in her eyes. "You …"

Before he could say anything, the person in front of him grabbed his wrist, "Come with me."

The familiar voice and eyes caused a hint of shock to flash past Xiao Yue's eyes.

"Princess …"

"Don't speak, leave immediately."

The black-clothed man in front of him was the Liu Ruo Qing who had followed Xiao Yue all the way to the Imperial Palace.

Without time to explain too much, Liu Ruo Qing brought Xiao Yue and jogged, avoiding being chased by the Imperial Guards.

But halfway there, they met Yan Yuan who was out for a walk.

The two of them paused for a moment. Without any time to think, they started exchanging blows.

This was Liu Ruo Qing's first time fighting with him, she had always known that Yan Yuan's martial arts were very high.

But her own martial arts were not weak either, she had never thought that in front of Yan Yuan, she only had room to struggle, fighting back was simply wishful thinking.

She was very clear that she would be defeated by Yan Yuan in less than ten moves.

At that time, even if she did not reveal her identity as Liu Tian Xin, the fact that she was in the same group as the 'assassin' would be too much for her to handle.

During the battle with Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing had given up all hope. She knew what she would face when this mask cloth was plucked.

For a moment, she even wanted to die in Yan Yuan's hands. That way, the conflict between Yan Yuan and Kaiser wouldn't be magnified because of her.

Such a thought flashed through her mind, and she actually gave up on resisting in that instant.

When Yan Yuan's palm wind struck in front of her, Yan Yuan seemed to recognize her, and retracted his palm force right in front of her.

He looked in disbelief at the face covered by the mask cloth, and the pair of bright and clear eyes exposed outside the mask cloth.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time without moving.

As the sound of footsteps came from behind, Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly shook. While Liu Ruo Qing was still in a daze, she quickly raised the hand that was holding the sword and cut her own arm with force.

In an instant, a bright blood-red color gushed out of Yan Yuan's arm.

"You …"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Yan Yuan lowered his voice and growled at her.

Liu Ruo Qing regained her senses after being shocked. Yan Yuan held onto his injured arm, and fresh red blood flowed out from the gaps of his fingers.

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes suddenly grew hot. Behind him, the footsteps of the Forbidden Army could be heard.

She didn't have time to hesitate as she looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Let's go."

The instant she turned to leave, her gaze swiftly swept across Yan Yuan's ice-cold face.

After the two of them left, the Imperial Guards quickly caught up.

Seeing Yan Yuan, he hurriedly went forward to welcome him.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The lead guard saw that Yan Yuan's arm was injured, and started panicking. "Your Highness, are you injured?"

"Cut the crap. The assassin is fleeing in the southwest direction. Hurry up and chase him."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Imperial Guards did not dare delay any further, and immediately chased after Liu Ruo Qing and Yue Yang.

After the Imperial Guards left, Yan Yuan's gaze landed on the direction that Liu Ruo Qing disappeared in, and his pupils shrank deeply.

Returning to the Violet Palace, he poured some Golden Sore Medicine on his wound and bandaged it without a word.

His expression was terrifyingly cold. Recalling the pair of eyes above the mask cloth, his fingertips involuntarily trembled.

A trace of hurt flashed through his eyes. He was both bitter and sad.

"Liu Tian Xin, you actually want to die at the hands of this king."

The gauze on his hand was pulled too hard because of the heartache, causing his wound to hurt.
