It was clear that ink's actions had exceeded her expectations.
"This subordinate would not dare."
Ink Water did not seem to feel any pain. He did not even move a bit. He was still in the same position as before. Seeing that he did not say anything, Shui Wuyin continued speaking.
"Your Excellency, this matter cannot be completely blamed on Protector Red Lotus."
"From what Protector Shui Mo has said, this matter … should I blame myself?"
"This subordinate would not dare."
Ink Slash was not a person who was good with words. After being asked such a question in return, he could only lower his head and repeat the same words.
"However, this subordinate knows that Protector Hong Lian is unable to reach that place by relying on her powers. The item used by the princess when she left is indeed unheard-of. Therefore, even if Protector Hong Lian was able to discover it at the first moment, she would not be able to catch up."
What Li Ruo didn't know was that not long after she left, her gliding wings were found by the people in the palace. Not only had she seen them in ink, she had also seen them with her own eyes.
However, compared to their surprise, the seats were very calm.
They seemed to have expected this to happen, but they didn't see the expression on his face. They just felt that it wasn't a big deal.
"Seems to make sense." With a gentle smile, he swung out a whip. The whip seemed to be able to recognize a person as it passed through the ink in front of it and struck the red lotus solidly on its body.
"Regardless of whether the ink is correct or not, you are still responsible for your own mistakes."
Shui Mo raised an eyebrow. She knew that there was nothing she could do, so she stood up to make way.
"You disregarded my orders and went to disturb Liruo. This is your fault."
As he spoke, he raised the whip and viciously whipped the red lotus.
The huge force caused Red Lotus to tilt her body a little, but she quickly knelt down.
"This subordinate knows his wrongs."
"It was my mistake to almost destroy Liruo when I disagreed."
After saying that, without waiting for the Red Lotus to react or prepare, he once again lashed out with his whip.
"This subordinate knows his wrongs." Without much strength left, the Red Lotus bit its lips.
"When I arranged for you to do other things, you secretly went to my forbidden area. This is another mistake."
"Yes."
Her body trembled slightly. If it wasn't for the fact that she was wearing fiery red clothes, she would have been drenched in blood by now.
Fortunately, ever since she was young, she knew that the red color of her blood wouldn't be that obvious. It was fortunate that she had been hiding her weakness since she was young.
"It doesn't seem the same. Although he says that he knows his mistake, he doesn't admit it at all in his heart. This is a grave mistake."
This time, it seemed as if she had used up all her strength. This was because her Red Lotus had been knocked over by his whip. She was lying on the ground, and she did not even have the strength to breathe.
Liru turned his head slightly, not daring to look.
The training of the secret service personnel was extremely harsh, but at least they were human. She really couldn't get used to being lenient when it came to attacking women.
Actually. What was wrong with the red lotus?
Just love him.
Liru's breathing became heavier as she turned around. She seemed to sense something and turned her gaze in their direction.
Li Ruo was scared and didn't dare to move a muscle.
He quickly blocked his breathing.
He sniffled a few times with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but his action made Liru's heart tense up. Liruo widened her eyes, thinking of a way to escape if she were to be discovered.
Even though she looked doubtful on the surface, she didn't continue looking at Liru's position. Liru wiped off her cold sweat, and covered the wound that had been ripped open because of the overdose of the medicine.
On top of that, there was blood.
"You're bleeding?" His voice sounded like he was confirming something. Because the distance was too far, Ruo Ruo was unable to clearly see the injuries of the red lotus.
Although there were bloodstains on her face, the bloodstains should not have the smell of blood.
"Have you forgotten where you have been keeping Protector Red Lotus for the past few days, and what you have done?"
Water Ink said coldly.
Merciless suddenly laughed.
"All of you are deeply in love with each other." Although he said this, there was no appreciation in his words. Shui Mo knew that she had angered him.
"Sir, the formation surrounding us has been broken. It seems that more than five hundred people have broken through the first line of defense and are rushing towards the center." At this moment, someone came to report.
"Continue searching. There's a formation in the sky. Before the formation breaks, not even a fly will be able to fly out. Thus, she must still be here." Merciless' face slightly changed. Looking at the undamaged formation in the sky, he ordered in a low voice. Afterwards, he brought everyone and left in a grand manner.
"Go back and rest. Leave the rest to me."
Before he could lift up the red lotus, Shui Mo turned around and spoke coldly.
She waved her hand and instructed the disciples sitting around to help Red Lotus up.
"Elder sister …"
"Don't call me sister."
With a deep voice, she cut him off without a trace of emotion. The red lotus raised the corner of her lips and laughed helplessly. In the end, she did not have the strength to continue wasting time with her.
The blood on his hands was already flowing faster and faster, and Liruo couldn't help but look up at the sky, which in his eyes was no different from the sky outside.
Frowning, formation, is it really something that exists in this world?
No wonder she had always thought that the scenery was the same everywhere, no wonder it suddenly fell. It wasn't because she was unskilled, but because this place was originally a difficult place to enter and exit from.
Could this person be Xuanyuan Mo?
Why was that feeling of familiarity growing stronger?
Please be merciful, who is this person, why is this place so mysterious?
What was his true identity? What was the real purpose of capturing her? If there was a formation everywhere, did that mean she was unable to leave?
Perhaps, it was because he was too confident that he would still be in the mood to punish Red Lotus at such a crucial moment.
"Have you seen enough?"
A cold female voice suddenly sounded from behind her. Li Ruo shut her eyes. She was truly done for.
Was this really the time for her to be distracted?
"You sure are bold, you actually hid in such a place."
If one looked carefully, they would find that her appearance was similar to the red lotus. Judging from the words just now, the red lotus and ink should be blood sisters. They just didn't know what had happened between the two of them to make them act so coldly.
However, it was clear that he had come to save her at the critical moment.
"What? Are you trying to take me back?" Li Ruo glanced over; the ink and water had dismissed everyone at some point, and she was the only one left.
"How did you find me?"
Li Ruo was slightly curious. Logically speaking, the first person to discover her should be merciful.
"Your smell is different from hers."
She did not even mention the name of the red lotus when she was in front of them.
Everyone's scent was different. When she was alive, she had helped her judge for free. Now, she could only look and think.
"Are you that confident that you can bring me back?"
Liru leaned lazily against the rock behind him, laughing nonchalantly.
Water Ink nodded. To be able to be so carefree in such a critical moment, this kind of mentality was indeed very valuable.
"Are you that confident that this Protector won't touch you?"
When she opened her mouth, Ruo Ruo could be seen smiling.
"If you wanted to do so, you would have already done so. Why wait till now?"
Although he did not know why, if Mo Wuji did not touch her, not only would he not capture her, he might even let her go.
"You seem to be able to see through it."
She had never worn a mask before, so her skin was better than that of the red lotus. Although the red lotus was very beautiful, it had been a long time since it had seen the sun.
"This is a hemostatic."
He took out a bottle and threw it to Li Ruo.
Li Ruo took it, opened it without any hesitation, and fell onto her arm.
"Aren't you afraid that this protector will poison you?"
There was a flash of amusement in her eyes, and her voice was hard.
"Not afraid."
Actually, it wasn't because she wasn't afraid, but because she could distinguish most poisons. And secondly, because she had memorized the smell and the ingredients when she had applied the medicine. Thus, she knew this was not wrong.
"Find a place to hide first, or a place that this Protector has searched for. You definitely can't stay here any longer."
"Alright."
Loulan Slash was a suspicious person. He had already smelled the scent of blood on her body just now, but it was due to the wrong guidance from the ink and blood on the Red Lotus that she managed to escape death.
However, he couldn't hide more than 15 years ago. Since he had already begun to suspect, he would definitely return after a short while.
"Let's go."
"It's fine," Li Ruo said, suddenly catching a glimpse of the flowers and grasses around her waist. Her eyes seemed to have some meaning to them. Hide those things carefully. "
Li Ruo nodded her head and took it out, stuffing it into her pocket. The ink man didn't talk much, but he must have had some hidden meaning. If Li Ruo dared to tell him, these rare flowers and plants must have some good uses.
Seeing Li Ruo acting in such a manner, Shui Mo turned around, not wanting to waste any more time on her.
She had done what she could, and she had done what she could not.
What happened next, he would have to rely on Li Ruo.
"Why are you helping me?"
Although the Red Lotus and Merciless have hurt her, she will remember the kindness given to her by the Water Ink.
"…"
Shui Mo stopped in his tracks and thought for a while, but he could not come up with a suitable candidate.
"I didn't help you." she said. " I'm just helping myself. "
"Thank you very much." Li Ruo nodded. She knew that there were two great protectors here. Red Lotus and Water Ink were both merciful concubines.
Therefore, when she said this, Li Ruo thought that she was afraid that she would rob them of their love.
Ink Water didn't say anything else. She gently leaped and left the place. She had already spoken, and now she had to go do her thing.
"Search as much as you can." If Lirael was still hiding at the bottom of the bridge, she needed to wait for them to leave.
