As the night deepened, the large General's Estate finally fell into complete silence. Even the breeze that suddenly passed by was silent for the next second, only leaving behind the lightly swaying leaves to illustrate the fact that the wind had passed by.

Luo Yi tossed and turned in the silence, unable to fall asleep.

Luo Yi rolled on the bed with her blanket.

Luo Yi looked up suspiciously and saw that Xu Heng had circled behind her without saying a word. Then, he took out an ointment with unknown effects and placed it on the skin exposed on the back of her neck. "There are a lot of insects in the night, so this ointment can protect you from bugs."

When his slightly cold fingertips made contact with's skin, both of them trembled, but Xu Heng quickly reacted, he only paused for a moment before continuing: "I will find a hidden branch and place you on it later, you just need to be careful not to fall down."

Luo Yi, "..."

So what is the meaning of my existence?

Luo Yi expressed her confusion, but before she could even ask her question, she felt a burst of smell coming from the back of her neck that made him frown: "This ointment of yours, it's too fragrant."

"Is there?" Xu Heng bent his body slightly forward: "I'm alright."

He explained, "Actually, there are some that don't have any fragrance. However, the smell of the medicine is too strong, so I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear it. So I chose this one. What about it?"

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows, purposely revealing a wronged expression on his face, as if he was teasing Luo Yi: "You don't like it?"

"..." "I like it."

Luo Yi swallowed the saliva that was on her tongue back down, she nodded her head with difficulty, but just as she spoke, she was immediately angered by the rich fragrance and sneezed.

I really don't understand your aesthetics!

Luo Yi secretly stuck her tongue out at Xu Heng's back.

At first, Luo Yi thought that she was just teasing her, but when the two of them reached their destination, Xu Heng actually found the tallest tree branch they could find and placed her on it. Afraid that she would be bored, he even took out a handful of melon seeds and placed it in her hands.

Luo Yi drooped her head and looked at the melon seeds in her hands, unable to utter a word. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that Xu Heng was about to leave as soon as he finished speaking, so she quickly pulled him back: "What can I help you with here?"

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard her question, and asked back: "Then, what can you help me with going down there?"

"…"

Luo Yi thought about it and realized that there seemed to be nothing that could help him.

She did not know martial arts, if she was truly discovered, she would not even have the chance to escape, she could only stand still and obediently surrender, and if she was caught, even if Xu Heng managed to escape unscathed now, I am afraid that he would not have any good days in the future, so why did Xu Heng have to bring her along as a burden?

She had wanted to ask this question just now, but she had not gotten the chance. quietly stood at the side and waited for her to speak, giving her the chance to do so, but for some reason, she changed her mind instantly. She nodded and said obediently: "Oh."

After she said this, she no longer looked at Xu Heng, and instead concentrated on counting the melon seeds in her hands. Waiting until there was no sound coming from her side, she guessed that Xu Heng had already left.

When a person was in a state of shock, no matter how beautiful their face was, it would be disfigured in their subjective consciousness. It was the same for Luo Yi. At the same time, her feet slipped and she almost fell down from the tree. Fortunately, Xu Heng's eyes were quick, and quickly reached out and brought her into her embrace, in order to prevent Luo Yi from getting smashed into meat paste. Then, without caring about Luo Yi who was still in fear while glaring at her, she tightened her arms on her own, "I brought you here to tell you that you're not the same as them."

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment. Before her brain could explain the meaning of the sentence, her ears had already accepted the next sentence, "I am not taking you along because I am worried that you will be in danger. I do not inform you of the specific plan because I do not want you to come in contact with the dark side of things …"

He buried his head into Luo Yi's neck.

What he breathed in was the medicinal fragrance that he had smeared on this place just now, and at that moment, the smell seemed to have its own consciousness and continued to rush into his nose. Under such a strange atmosphere, Xu Heng thought of an inappropriate — — This smell seemed to be too heavy.

Luo Yi was instantly stupefied when she saw Xu Heng carrying him over. Her four limbs stood still as the melon seeds in her hands fell from her master's strength.

She stood there in a daze, and even when Xu Heng's figure had disappeared from her mind, she still kept repeating the last words she had heard, "You are different from them."

Xu Heng said: "The only person in this world that I unconditionally trust is you."

What Xu Heng was planning to do today was actually not that dangerous, but to check if the prison where His Majesty was originally imprisoned was truly empty. He was 90% sure that His Majesty had already been moved to another place by the medical stand, but in order to avoid any loopholes, he still had to personally confirm the difficult contingency plan.

Although Xu Heng's martial arts were ordinary, he had the excellent lightness skills. It would be extremely easy for him to find a gap in the defense, and he was confident that no one would find out about it. This was also the reason why he was willing to bring Luo Yi along this time.

Of course, those words were said by Xu Heng.

Luo Yi covered her face with her hands and sat on the branch with her forehead against the thick trunk of the tree.

Luo Yi's face, which had finally calmed down after cooling down with great difficulty, had a warm up tendency after recalling those words. She tilted his head backwards and retracted it, attempting to calm herself down by hitting her forehead heavily on the tree trunk.

Due to what Xu Heng said being too confident, Luo Yi was not particularly worried about him. Ever since she left, he obediently stayed on the tree branches, trying to clear her tangled thoughts while obediently waiting for Xu Heng to come and fetch her. Who would have thought that she would actually come, and the result wasn't so good.

When Xu Heng suddenly appeared, Luo Yi was still in a daze, and could not help but be shocked, but before she could even complain, Xu Heng had already dropped down from the tree with a serious face.

Luo Yi was startled for a second. She instinctively realised that something was amiss, and completely forgot what she was thinking about before. She asked in a low voice: "Was she discovered?"

Xu Heng's expression turned heavy. He used one arm to carry her and consecutively flipped over several walls, and his strength gradually decreased as his arm around Luo Yi's waist started to tremble. Luo Yi was acutely aware of this point, and without waiting for him to reply, he turned her head to look behind him. After realizing that she could not see anything clearly in the darkness, she extended her hand to touch his right arm, and sure enough, her tentacles felt wet: "You're injured?"

"It's not a big deal," Xu Heng said in a low voice. "When I entered the room, I didn't expect that there would be people hiding inside as well.

When the two of them spoke up to this point, the guards of the prison finally reacted. In an instant, the general's manor became as lively as a lake that had been thrown into a stone. Various sounds interweaved, finally waking the general's manor from its slumber.

Xu Heng's actions were still one step faster than them. He had already brought Luo Yi to the inside of the house before the other party had finished their search, so he quickly instructed her to change out of his clothes.

"We are the primary surveillance target of the infirmary. If anything happens, we will be the first to be checked. So you have to be quick, and try to get yourself organized before he comes. "

"What about you?"

Just as Xu Heng was about to return to his room after speaking, he panicked and subconsciously grabbed onto his arm. However, he probably accidentally touched his own wound and frowned.

Seeing that, Luo Yi quickly let go of her hands.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." There was a sense of comfort in his tone.

Xu Heng spoke very quickly, and thought that he had already realised that he did not have much time to waste on them, he also realised that this time, he did not speak anymore. Instead, it was Xu Heng who frowned at her before he left: "Your body reeks of blood."

Although her words did not make sense, Luo Yi understood the meaning behind them. Coincidentally, because of her unsettled state of mind, she forgot to send someone to carry the water out before she went to sleep, so Luo Yi casually tied his hair behind his head and washed the smell of blood off his body. However, before he entered the water, Luo Yi carefully took a whiff of his own body's smell and felt that the smell was stronger than the smell of blood.

But now was not the time to care about these things. Luo Yi quickly hid her Ye Xing Yi and changed into her own clothes, then used her hands to cover her mouth and yawned, pretending to be woken up by the noise outside. Her voice carried a bit of confusion as she asked: "What's wrong?"

The courtyard was already filled with people, with the Incorruptible Doctor as the leader, all of their faces were serious. Luo Yi pretended to be shocked, she moved her clothes behind Xu Heng and used her index finger to poke her back: "What happened?"

"It's nothing," Xu Heng turned around to comfort her. "Brother Lian said that a small thief had barged into the courtyard, and was afraid that he would escape here and hurt us.

As he said that, he then turned to the Innocent Medical Seat. "I'll have to trouble Brother Lian to take care of this. There's nothing abnormal with Luo Yi and I here."

"It's good as long as Brother Xin is fine." Doctor Lian's words were polite, but it showed that it was not at all like that. As he spoke, he took a step forward, and at the same time, his right hand landed heavily on Xu Heng's left shoulder.

Luo Yi's heart instantly clenched.

This palm strike of his did not hold back his strength in the slightest. Xu Heng could not help but let out a painful cry, and his shoulder unconsciously flung away his hand. "What does Brother Lian mean by this?"

The doctor raised his eyebrows and carefully twirled his fingers as he was thrown away. Then, he turned his head and exchanged glances with one of his followers behind him.

The follower stared at Xu Heng for a long time, before shifting his gaze to's left shoulder. After a while, he slowly shook his head.

Only then did the Liefeng Priest relax. He raised his hand and patted Xu Heng's left shoulder again, only this time he did not use too much strength. "Misunderstanding! "Brother Xin also knows that for martial artists, it's not easy to strike when something urgent happens. This time, we're really too impatient and weren't able to control our strength well. Brother Xin, please do not take offense."

As he said that, his gaze indistinctly swept towards the room where Xu Heng's room was opened. After seeing the messy bed, he retracted his gaze.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of Luo Yi who had been sticking close to Xu Heng's right arm the entire time. Seeing her clothes draped over his shoulders in a mess, he thought that she must have ran out in a hurry due to fright, and wanted to comfort her with a few words, but who knew that the moment he moved a step, Luo Yi immediately grabbed onto Xu Heng's arm and hid behind, revealing a pair of eyes that were timidly staring at him.

The doctor was stunned.

The most amorous thing was that the beauty was only weak like Liu Fu Feng, and although Luo Yi could not be considered weak like Liu Fu Feng, but the panic that was revealed in her eyes due to being frightened could still arouse a man's desire to protect.

He had always maintained that he would always do whatever he wanted with a beauty. Knowing that he had given her a fright just now, he no longer went forward and clapped his hands nonchalantly. Then, he turned around and brought his follower to another place. Before he left, he wanted to remind him to take a good rest, but the moment the words reached his mouth, he turned around and said, "Brother Xin, you smell so good."
