Xue Luoyun was dragged into the cell, covered in blood, and thrown into the moldy and rotten grass. This time she was in a separate cell. Xue Moyan was simply too smart, so the Ghost-Masked Man could only lock her up by herself. She also strengthened the guards and strengthened the door.
"Who, who, who is this?" The emperors in the cell saw someone being dragged in with blood all over his body. It was a shocking sight.
"Ah, it seems to be sister Muyun!" A sharp-eyed person recognized Xue Ruyun. Although Xue Ruyun's face was covered in blood, sweat and blood sticking her messy hair all over her face, judging from the corner of her mouth that no longer submitted, and the snow-white skin that was revealed under her tattered clothes, it could still be determined.
"Ah, it really is her. How did she become like this?" Hearing the speculation of one of the sisters, the rest of them also quickly pressed themselves against the door of the prison, trying their best to stick their heads out and observe the situation of Xue Luoyun with their hands.
She was lying on top of the moldy weeds, gasping for breath. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she looked as if she was in extreme pain. Seeing her in such a state, everyone was pained and worried for her.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. It turns out our hero has returned …" Xue Lian was sitting alone in the cell. Hearing everyone's speculations, she suddenly stood up to take a look. The one lying down was indeed Xue Ruoyun. A smile appeared on her face as she mocked.
"You bitch, why are your words so venomous?" One of the princesses scolded angrily.
She was not afraid of this group of people anymore. At this moment, she became even more unrestrained: "Didn't you boast at the sea and say that you would rescue everyone? How did you end up in such a sorry state?" Xue Lianshu coldly belittled Xue Ruyun and purposely angered her.
Unexpectedly, Xue Luoyun had already fainted at this moment. How could she still hear Xue Lian's sarcastic and sarcastic words.
"You still have the face to say that if it weren't for you being despicable and shameless and going to inform the sect, Lao Yun wouldn't have been in such a state because of you. We're all sisters, why do you think your heart is so vicious? " The group of sisters could not bear to see Xue Lian draw such a scene and retorted sarcastically.
"I know what's good for me, and now I'm going out. You guys save me with envy and hate me, right?" Xue Lian didn't seem to care about everyone's accusations. Instead, he felt that he had done the right thing.
Everyone was defeated by her shamelessness, so they couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
When Xue Lian saw that no one was talking, she thought for a while and felt that she wasn't satisfied yet. Once again, she proudly flaunted, "Back then, you were all stupid and ignorant. Considering that we've only known each other for a short while, I'll give you all a chance. If you kneel down and beg me for forgiveness right now, I'll tell that ghost-masked man to let you all go, or else, you will all die. "
Xue Lian stroked her hair and looked like a lowly person who had achieved his goals. She wanted to see how this group of people would act in the face of life and death when they talked about how they valued love and righteousness.
She hugged her arms, feeling extremely proud. She couldn't wait to enjoy the thrill of trampling on someone else. In her view, there was nothing more important than being alive. Right now, Xue Ruoyun already had a half-dead appearance, so everyone would definitely beg her.
However, Xue Lian's drawing was wrong, ridiculously wrong. She underestimated this group of people who, although from a poor family, were very festive. Everyone was standing straight as a pine tree, not putting her in their eyes at all.
"You! Are you not afraid of death? " Xue Lian was flustered and exasperated.
"I was afraid of death, and I was even more afraid of being called a shameless villain who goes back on his word!" A woman caressed her sleeve.
"That's right. What's more, do you think you're getting ahead of yourself? It's too early for you to be happy."
"If you had the deep trust of the bronze masked man, why are we still here?" If that Ghost-Masked Man really wants to let you out, how can you be like us, trapped in this cage. " The emperors talked back and forth, each of them talking about the sore points of Xue Lian's painting. It also roused her from her beautiful dreams.
"Humph, just wait here. The Ghost-Masked Man will release me soon, and you can only wait for death! " Even though he felt guilty about what they had said to him, he still said it stubbornly.
The facts were right in front of their eyes, and everyone clearly knew what the situation was. Xue Lian was a cooked duck, and she was stubborn. Everyone was too lazy to argue with her, so they called out to her softly instead to see how her injuries were.
"Big Sister Muyun, how are you doing?" The emperors called out to Xue Luoyun one by one. His fingers moved, but because he was heavily injured, he simply couldn't wake up.
"I think she's hurt. Let's not disturb her for now." The discussion quieted down.
"Tsk." When Xue Lian heard everyone's caring appearance, she scoffed and angrily turned around to sit down. She looked at the name in her hand, which was almost finished. These were all people that Xue Ruyun had secretly given to those who understood medicine when he was here.
She looked at the lists, but she could no longer be happy.
Indeed, the words of these people had woken her up, and she started to doubt whether this ghost-masked man would keep his promise.
It was because right now, Xue Luoyun had already been caught, but she had yet to see the masked man come in to release her. Before this, her heart had been filled with doubts, but she still couldn't believe it. Could this ghost-masked man really have lied to her? She just wanted to use her to explain Xue Luoyun's plan.
"No, no." Xue Lian shook his head and tried his best to comfort himself. Maybe they were just busy. Besides, didn't he already have a separate cell? Xue Lian thought in a good direction.
But the more she consoled herself like this, the more flustered she became. The Ghost-Masked Man had always been despicable and shameless. He would kill without batting an eye, so how could he keep his promise?
There was nothing to trust in a deal between a dishonest person and a dishonest person.
Xue Lian's heart began to beat like a drum. "Men, go and call your leader over. I want to see him!" After thinking about it anxiously for a while, Xue Lian started to panic in his heart. In the end, he could not sit still and shouted.
The two bronze masked men acted as if they didn't hear her, completely ignoring her.
After shouting for a while, Xue Lian finally started to realize that something was wrong. She could not sit still for even a moment as she shouted incessantly, insisting to see the ghost-masked man who had promised her at that time.
The bronze masked man knew her identity, her heart was irritated, in the end she still went to report.
The bronze masked leader came to Xue Shaoli and asked for her opinion. After all, Xue Lian was Xue Shaoli's sister.
"Letting her out is a joke." Xue Shaoli was preparing for the county magistrate court when she heard the ghost-masked man's question. Without hesitation, she turned down the offer.
"She is the emperor's daughter. She is going to be used as a sacrifice to the heavens. How can I let her go?" In her mind, she recalled the past conflicts she had with Xue Lian. She would definitely not let him off the hook.
"But she still has the name list of people who took the antidote …" The bronze masked man asked hesitantly.
"Go and see if her name list is written out. Once it's finished, bring it over." Xue Shaoli ordered as he scratched his head. The meaning of his words was clear. Xue Shaoli wanted him to rob him.
After a while, the bronze masked man walked in.
"You're finally here, why aren't you letting me out!" When Xue Lian saw the Ghost-Masked Man enter, he was infuriated. However, he was afraid of losing face in front of the other emperors and being mocked by them. Thus, he purposely lost his temper loudly.
"I was busy earlier. What, have you finished writing down the list?" The bronze masked man looked down on Xue Lian's painting and did not want to give her any face. Therefore, he shut his mouth and didn't talk about letting her go. Instead, he asked her about it.
"I've already written down the name list..." Xue Lian's drawing flashed the already written list in front of the Ghost-Masked Man's eyes. The Ghost-Masked Man stretched out his hand and grabbed empty air.
"But, the things that you promised me haven't been done yet. We already spoke before this. I'll hand over the list, and you can release them." Xue Lian paused for a moment before placing the name list in the pocket on his chest.
"Sure, then hand over the name list first, then I'll put the mud out." The ghost-masked man quickly lied.
"This won't do. I've already provided this much information, and you've also caught Xue Luoyun. So, it should be possible for you to let me go first. When we reach the entrance, I'll give you the list of names." This time, Xue Lian would not fall for it.
"Well, we have to think about it." The Ghost-Masked Man circled around because he didn't want to let Xue Lian draw it.
This made Xue Lian's doubts grow even more.
"What else do you need to consider? Didn't you all agree well before? Why did you all change your mind now?" Xue Lian questioned.
"Hand over the name list first. We'll talk about it later!" The Ghost-Masked Man had already lost his patience.
When Xue Lian heard his tone, he felt an intense killing intent. She knew she had one final move.
She abruptly took out the name list, "Let me out immediately. Once I'm safe, I'll immediately give you the name list." Otherwise, if you don't let me out today, I'll tear this list into pieces. " As she spoke, Xue Lian took out the namelist and held it tightly in her hand.
"Hmph." At this time, when the ghost-masked man saw that he could not coax Xue Lian's painting, his expression turned fierce. As he approached step by step, Xue Lian felt goosebumps all over his body when he looked at him. With a wave of his hand, a few of the Ghost-Masked Man's underlings rushed forward and firmly controlled Xue Lianshu. They forcefully snatched the list from their hands.
"Let me go, you bunch of robbers and animals!" Xue Lian struggled as he could not draw, but his mouth was filled with waves of curses.
But she was a weak girl, how could she be stronger than these ghost-masked men? The Ghost-Masked Man held the list in his hand and threw Xue Lianshu viciously against the wall.
"Go away, bitch." The Ghost-Masked Man cursed as he locked the door and left.
"You bunch of treacherous villains, despicable and shameless …" Xue Lian got up, grabbing the doorjamb and cursing non-stop. His voice echoed in the cell, sounding extremely weak.
