Chapter 13 Escape
That night, Alvin asked someone to carry him back to Xufeng Castle. Several girls advised him to make plans tomorrow dawn. After all, those hundreds of mountain roads were not a joke. If something went wrong, he would have to throw away his remaining half of his life. But Alvin insisted on returning to the castle overnight because he could not let any outsiders know that the leader of the Free Army of the Universal Cult was seriously injured. After all, it was a time when people's hearts were fluctuating, and he had to act carefully.
With Theresia and Onian on the side, Kui Qing was naturally relieved, so she returned to Zonghengtong Business.
This largest storefront business has been completely decorated since it was sold by Kui Qing. The second floor has a luxurious living room and bedroom, which are reserved for distinguished customers. Of course, Kui Qing also lives on this second floor. It is natural to say that with her relationship with Alvin, it is okay to live in the Xufeng Castle, but in order to cover up, the storefront skills should be done. Outsiders only think that she has a good relationship with Alvin and do not know the inside story. She and Alvin are still not allowed to know the Ryan and the others.
When Kui Qing walked upstairs with tired steps, the lights were still on on the second floor. It turned out that Kui Qing's father, seeing that his daughter had not returned for a long time, was worried and refused to fall asleep. He was waiting for her to come back in the corridor.
"Why did you come back so late?" Kuiqing's father looked at her daughter's pale face and asked with concern, "Have you encountered something?"
Kui Qing smiled tiredly and shook her head.
Seeing this, her father couldn't help but sigh, and he wanted to speak, but finally complained indifferently: "Miss, didn't we say we didn't see him? Why...
Xiao Kui leaned down on the sofa, lowered her head silently, and then said for a while: "From the moment when he saved me, I have determined him and followed him. Since that's the case, how can I not see him?"
Seeing Kui Qing's persistent look with a bit of sadness, her "father" had to soften her heart.
"It would be fine if it was on weekdays, but Miss, look at where we are now? This is already in Newvan, only a few days away from Tillyle. If that person knows your identity, the consequences will be unimaginable." At this point, the worry on her "father"'s face became a little deeper.
The lights hid Kui Qing's side face into the shadow, and the half of her face reflected in the dim light was filled with warmth. The little girl said mockingly in a tone that was not as old as hers: "I missed my life back then just to escape. Now, I have been back after going around in circles. Maybe this is fate."
"Miss, you are the only one of your blood left. We can't act impulsively. We just want to pay our lives for such a man."
"Then do you want to escape for the rest of your life?" Kui Qing said quietly and looked at her "father".
This sentence really caused the other party to ask.
"Since I was eight years old, I lived a wandering life, from an ignorant girl to a businessman who could travel around the north and the south. I was so sad that I didn't want to talk to anyone, and I never thought that such a life was not good."
Hearing Kui Qing's words, her "father"'s eyes couldn't help but turn red, "It's all because Uncle Qihua is useless. I haven't taken good care of you for years..."
Kui Qing comforted her softly: "Don't say that, Uncle Qihua, you have done everything you can. If you hadn't been protecting me for your life, I would have been killed by that woman long ago.
Where is today?”
"I know you, Miss, you won't blame your uncle, but you're not blaming yourself. It's really against the master's entrusting..." Uncle Qi Hua couldn't help but shed tears as he spoke.
"Father doesn't care about my life or death." Kui Qing said with a cold expression, "If he really cared, how could he marry that woman into the door?"
"Master...ah..." Uncle Qihua knew that he could not explain too much to the no longer live master at this time, so he stopped talking.
"I just said that I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with running around to do business, but... but after meeting him, everything seemed to have changed." The little girl thought of the man who rescued herself from the dark cabin, and ripples appeared in her heart.
"He is like my world. And I want to sit in a well and watch the sky and guard his world." Kui Qing's eyes were full of tenderness when she said this, as if she wanted to rub the night into water and wet the long scroll covered with love and concern.
Seeing the lady say this, Uncle Qi Hua had no choice but to sigh, knowing that it would be useless to say more.
--------------------------------------------
In a house in Nufando.
It has been a few days since the last assassination of Alvin.
Ruan Jie Ming's arm with several plywoods was wrapped with thick bandages.
And the female disciple named Chounan was strolling anxiously in the room.
"Can you be at peace for a while?" Ruan Jie said impatiently.
The girl wanted to respond a few words, but when she saw the master's appearance, she sat down honestly.
"I have a few words to say to you." Ruan Jie said calmly.
Chounan felt very surprised. She had never seen her master speak in such a tone. She usually suffered either mockery or abuse, or punches or kicks. How could she have seen her master pass by like this?
Therefore, she sat upright and listened carefully to what the master was going to say.
"You have been with me for so many years. Let me calculate it. More than ten years have passed since I picked you up from the butcher's house?" Ruan Jie recalled on his own, "Time flies so fast, and ten years have passed in a flash."
"I have never told you about your life experience over the years, right?"
"Hmm?" Chounan seemed indifferent and said to himself: "Didn't I pick it up by the butcher on the road?"
Master Ruan Jie couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Of course not."
"Your father is actually Duke Sloan of the Principality of Tilelle. You are his illegitimate daughter." Ruan Jie said lightly.
"Oh. Then what?" Chounan couldn't see any emotional changes on her face, as if what her master said was not related to her.
Ruan Jie was also stunned by Chounan's heartless response, but he felt a little bit of care in his heart and clinged to him.
"The Duke is my old friend, and he told me to raise you before his death."
"When I went to the town of Judgment, I asked for a long time before I found out that your mother had passed away and she kept you in the butcher's house."
Ruan Jie still cannot forget the scene when he first met Snow Nan. A five or six-year-old child was mixed with the cattle and sheep.
In the cafeteria, a lot of black hair was already tied, with a yellow face and thin body, uncovered body, and a body smelled like those animals. There was a collar locked around the neck, which was locked around the sheep pen, looking like a livestock, and there was no such thing as a human being.
"I have never seen my mother. They all say I was born in that cowshed." Shuang Nan's thoughts returned to her childhood. She thought of the harsh words that accompanied her growth in the town once pierced into her heart like a knife, and then the heart slowly scabbed, then the knife was then scabbed, and then it went back and forth until the heart was as hard as a rock, and the knife could not be inserted into it or burned into it.
"Listen to them nonsense." For some reason, Ruan Jie was feeling a little angry at this time.
"What do you mean by saying this to me?" Chounan said and looked at her master.
Ruan Jie thought of the terrible skills of the white-haired woman beside Alvin, and couldn't help but feel scared. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid that one day I will die accidentally, and you won't even know who you are."
"Then don't kill Alvin. We can't survive without those bounties." Chounan said with a frown. Even though she covered up well, this was still one of the few things she showed care in her life.
"Do you think he was killed for a bounty?" Ruan Jie said, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do you know who asked me to kill that Alvin?"
"Who?" Chounan said puzzled.
"Duce Sloan."
Chounan looked confused. With her head, she naturally couldn't figure out why the duchess wanted to kill Alvin. Of course, she couldn't hear the master's words.
Ruan Jie shook his head and thought to himself how this little fool would survive in this world of ghosts in human hearts?
"The key is not who she wants to kill. But if I don't agree to her, she will send someone to take your life." Ruan Jie said to his stupid disciple.
Now Chounan stopped talking.
"That woman Sanifensa is not easy to mess with. In fact, she has always known about your existence over the years. However, because you are an illegitimate daughter, you will not have any substantial threat to her, so you are too lazy to attack you. She found me a while ago and said that if I could kill Alvin, I would not have any idea."
Only then did Chounan know why his master was so persistent in assassinating Alvin.
"But there are many experts around Alvin. I can't kill him this time, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to start in the future."
"If you really kill him, I'm afraid your and I will have to leave your lives here." Ruan Jie said with a calm face.
"I will die if I die. But you, a girl, still have great years, so why bother to ruin it here?"
"But if I die, that woman shouldn't think about you anymore." Ruan Jie murmured to himself.
Chounan didn't say anything anymore, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Then... will we run away?"
"Escape?" Ruan Jie laughed silently, "Where can you escape? You little girl, I'm afraid you don't know the methods of these people."
"I can't kill you, but I can't escape, but I can't escape, so what should I do?" Chounan said with an upset look on his face.
"Did you see the 'declaration of freedom' posted in this city? There is a saying above that is quite interesting."
