In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed and Su He had been looking for an opportunity to escape. After going out to search for immortal medicines and gradually familiarizing herself with her surroundings, she had already decided on her escape route. She only needed to wait for an opportunity. Fortunately, the heavens did not disappoint the people, and the Demon King Huo Tian returned after a successful northern expedition. Three days later, he would set up a feast to reward the three armies, and at that time, all the people would gather at the Demon King's palace to participate in the banquet. Su He had made up his mind that as long as he waited until they were on guard and careless, he would find a gap and successfully escape.

She packed some of her portable luggage, prepared everything, and found a few more places to escape.

In the early morning of the feast, the pigeon catcher Ao Tuo brought over ten newly caught pigeons. Su He thought to himself that it was as usual. However, he was stopped by Ato, who said that the Winged Demons would use some pigeons as the head of the Sky Hunting Squadron to cheer the King. The Second Young Master agreed to release all the pigeons in the mansion, but it was not enough.

Two carriages of pigeons cooed. Su He and Ao Tuo drove the carriage out of the Second Young Master's residence, and followed the main road to the palace. Originally, the street was filled with open space, but now, it was filled with all kinds of demon dwellers from all kinds of clans. They were either peddlers or traders, trading, or setting up a place to fight for the prize. The various fights on the stage were extremely fascinating. Amidst the cheers, there were even people who opened their mouths and won Peng Yin's full bowl. In groups of two or three, with fifty to eighty percent of the mass, it was bustling with noise and excitement. Moreover, this was only the outskirts of the city, and the streets of the palace city which was formed from buildings were even more crowded. The roads were packed, making it difficult for two carriages to move.

They were mostly Guardian Beasts from aristocratic families with illustrious bloodlines in their Demon Clan over hundreds and thousands of years. Their masters were rarely happy, allowing them to roam freely in the skies of the imperial city, displaying all of their abilities. The guardian beast was either walking side by side, or it was playing around while its eyes were blurry.

However, all the lights in the capital were decorated; the Hall of Diligence was dazzling in gold and jade, displaying the majesty and grandeur of the Infernal King's family. The palace maids were like a shoal of fish as they shuttled back and forth between the dragon pillars of the hundreds of great halls, arranging delicacies one after another. Outside the Main Palace, Demon King Huo Tian and Queen led Huo Yuhuang and Huo Yu Mao to welcome the guests who were arriving one after another.

The grand banquet was about to begin. Su He brought the pigeon to the designated flying platform. It was already noon.

Ato told her to wait until the Winged Demons' horn sounded, and then let the pigeons fly. He had to have a taste because of the wine. Su He had no other choice and decided to just let him be. She stood on top of the wall and looked out over the whole palace city.

However, she was not in the mood to enjoy these bustling and beautiful scenery. She was weighing the escape route she had previously set up, and every road that left the palace city area would have hidden guards and sentries. However, looking at how the Demon Dwellers had let go of themselves and acted as if they were truly free and unrestrained, it was completely different from the ones they had met on the battlefield. Bloody Berserk was them, and they were also the out-and-out true me. Just when would the Six Realms be able to enjoy peace forever? Could the peace that Master had hoped for really be possible?

Su He didn't think about it further. A deafening gong was rung, and the banquet began. The gong sound had just stopped, the horn sound had come close, low and loud, slowly spreading out. When it reached far away, a thunderous sound resounded, this was the sound of the Sky Tearing Horn.

She opened the birdcage and saw that hundreds of pigeons were flying in the air. The Winged Demon Dwellers were following them with their wings, each of them holding a small horn in their hands. A horn sounded in the sky, and those pigeons' movements were nimble as they dodged to the left and right. If two or three of them were to strike the pigeon and detonate the pigeon's body, then there would be a prize money, and the highest honor would be given to the person who detonated the pigeon's body. Since the start of the lottery, the highest record had been for 13 chimes. It was unknown if this year's record would be broken or not.

Su He had already disappeared from the top of the city wall, and the entire city was paying attention to her work, so no one would notice her trace.

A few corners later, there was a small door leading out of the palace. It was a hallway on the left side of the palace, near the imperial garden. It had once been a cheap door for horticultural workers to move flowers and trees, but now it had become her escape door.

The enormous imperial garden was now quiet and peaceful, although the distant sky was filled with endless thunder and thunderous cheers. Su He leaned on the fake mountain, she was waiting for the guards in the imperial garden to change shifts.

"Who's there? "Come out!" Hearing that someone was berating him from behind the fake mountain, Su He realized that he had been paying attention to the guards in front of him and did not notice if there was anyone at the Heart Pavilion behind the fake mountain. He then turned around and lowered his head. Step by step, he walked into the pavilion.

"This female servant is the pigeon keeper Su He from the second young master's residence. She was half-kneeling on the ground, her manner sincere.

"It's from second brother's residence." When he got close, Su He could hear that the noble in front of him seemed to have just been crying, his voice sounded a little choked up. "Get up."

"This female servant kowtows to thank Fourth Miss." Su He stood up and replied. She already knew that there was a Fourth Miss in the palace, Huo Yulan.

"You must be second brother's new girl."

"Yes." Su He lowered her head, and did not dare to rashly raise her head to look at her face. She was shocked that there was actually such a beautiful person within the Demon Clan.

"Why didn't you go to such a flourishing banquet outside today and come to the imperial garden alone?"

"The maidservant was ordered to send the pigeons to the city walls for the Winged Demon Dwellers to play with." Su He pointed to the thunder in the sky. Just now, she lost her way in the palace and alarmed the Fourth Miss. "

"It's a pity for those excellent pigeons. Even though second brother likes them, he can't match up to one of father's words." At this point, the choking feeling became even more intense.

"Little girl, you're quite clever. Can you play chess? "

"I know a bit." Huo Yu Lan and Huo Yuxi were quite similar, but why did all the girls that I met like to play chess so much?

As the chessboard went back and forth between them, Huo Yulan discovered that she was different from ordinary servants. Su He had extremely good control over the overall situation, his chess skills not fawning on her at all.

"Su He, why haven't you dared to raise your head to look at me?" Huo Yu Lan asked.

"There seems to be sorrow in the Fourth Miss's heart. She is sorrowful, but I dare not to blaspheme her."

"You're quite sensible." Su He's rules were meticulous and Huo Yuxi had fallen for them a lot. There were many things in his heart he wanted to tell her in order to lessen the desolate feeling in the palace.

With that said, Su He realized that she had blocked Huo Yulan's escape door. She had won this time.

"Your chess skills are quite good. You can often play chess with me." When Su He heard this, he realized that Huo Yu Lan was not angry at all.

"Is that teak ivy on your wrist?" Su He was still trying to figure out what Huo Yu Lan meant. However, she noticed the ivy on his wrist. This fragrance was the most ancient and natural one. There was no need to refine it, it was like a great fragrance. If we put it in a censer, it will taste even better. "

"Does Fourth Miss know much about incense?" Su He asked.

"It's not that I'm studying it, but Elder Sister Xi likes it. She gave it to me." As she spoke, she took out a scented sachet and handed it over to Su He.

The banquet outside was bustling with noise and excitement, but the two of them stayed at the Pond Heart Pavilion and chatted with each other …
