Azhu's fleeing back makes Xue Yao lose hope of completing the heartwarming mission.
Calm was restored to the yard.
Xue Yao looked back at Lu Qian, taking the initiative to soften, "We shouldn't fight in a place like this."
Lu Qian looked down at his little companion and spoke majestically, "You stepped on the organ."
Xue Yao couldn't deny it and muttered in a low voice, "This is indeed an evil sect, actually arranging such insidious organs."
Lu Qian didn't say anything, staring at the little companion as if waiting for something.
Xue Yao avoided his gaze and distracted the other in a low voice: "I'm wondering if they poisoned the chicken legs, I feel a bit dizzy now."
Lu Qian remained staring at him.
Still trying to escape, Xue Yao twisted her body and said, "Let's go back to the house, at least it's safer than here."
Lu Qian didn't move a muscle.
Xue Yao was unable to avoid it and met the pupils of those teal eyes.
A silent contest, which began when the two brothers looked at each other.
Xue Yao knew very well: if he couldn't wait for those words, this careful-eyed Long Ao Tian wouldn't let himself go.
Okay.
Xue Yao's gaze, pretending that nothing had happened, dropped inch by inch, her eyes finally resting on the tip of Lu Qian's chin, whispering, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The identity of the protector was recognized, Lu Qian hooked the corner of his lips, lazily propped up on the ground and stood up, reaching out to the little companion in need of protection.
How much does a boy that age want to prove his power?
Especially if you want to prove to someone that you have all the basics to protect them, that you have more than enough to protect them with your own strength.
Therefore, Lu Qian hid his cowardice that he almost cried in fear the moment he saw the organ being triggered, and reached out to help his little companion with a gesture of more than enough strength.
He exerted all his strength, silently doing his best to show an impatient inquiry--Yao Yao look, is Master more powerful than Big Brother?
Subconsciously, Lu Qian knew that he couldn't compare to his big brother, which made him even more eager to prove himself.
Ten years later, Lu Qian would instead try to hide his sharpness by keeping a low profile as much as possible, but the self-confidence that came from that composure and self-knowledge was a state of mind that the seventeen year old Lu Qian couldn't reach.
On the contrary, at this moment, Xue Yao had the mentality of an elder, and refused to give up his position as protector to fulfill the self-esteem of the boy in front of him who was eager to become a man.
The two of them are still secretly fighting.
That's why Xue Yao didn't put her hand into Lu Qian's palm, but instead propped herself up on the ground, to be strong enough to get up on her own, and turned around to walk towards the veranda.
Lu Qian's careful eyes began to play tricks again, he badgered at the back of the little companion read to be strong, his mouth suddenly let out a "bang!" , pretending to be the sound of a trap being triggered again.
Xue Yao jumped in place like a little rabbit in fear, turned around and actively wrapped her arms around Lu Qian's neck, looking around in horror!
The heartbeats of the two men dovetailed in a moment of embrace.
The heart was beating so joyfully that Xue Yao's ears began to ring.
The ringing in his ears drowned out that [Tyrant's Heartbeat Quest Progress 21%] alert.
It was only a few moments later that he realized he hadn't stepped on the mechanism again, and that the noise was Lu Qian's way of scaring him.
"Why are you scaring me!" Xue Yao, who had regained her senses, let go of Lu Qian, dropped a complaining look, turned around and ran into the house.
Xue Yao didn't understand Lu Qian's rebellious mischief, although this body was only twenty-one years old, he had lived until he went to college in his last life, and added thirteen years of Royal Kindergarten life in this life, thinking that he could have the experience of a thirty year old, not realizing that he similarly lacked the variety of a relationship he hadn't experienced before, in order to make his understanding of the world more complete.
The lack of understanding of that kind of emotional world makes Xue Yao still treat Lu Qian in the same way she would with a child, causing Lu Qian to want to prove himself more and more.
"Miss Azhu won't help us slip away now." Xue Yao sat alone at the table in despondency.
"Why did you slip away?" Lu Qian asked him.
"Does Your Highness want to be trapped here for the rest of your life?" Xue Yao said sharply, "Your fifth brother is about to get married!"
"Next month." Lu Qian reminded.
"So we have to escape!" Xue Yao was in a hurry, he didn't want to miss the BB machine's wedding.
"They'll let go." Lu Qian said.
"Where's the reason?" Xue Yao questioned.
"Master doesn't know Gu Qingyuan." Lu Qian replied.
"Not recognizing them doesn't necessarily mean they'll let us go, maybe just exterminate us? They're a gangster evil sect." Xue Yao was worried.
"No way." Lu Qian still looked indifferent.
"Why wouldn't I?"
"The mob doesn't dare offend the Sword Saint."
Xue Yao thought about it carefully and found it reasonable, "That's right, even if you don't know senior brother, you can't deny that you are the disciple of the Sword Saint, right! That letter from the Sword Saint senior, do you still have it?"
"What?"
"Get it out and I'll eat it!"
"Didn't you already eat a chicken leg?"
"I'm not hungry, if they see the Sword Saint's letter of abandonment, they'll dare to kill us."
So, Lu Qian took out the letter from his sleeve pocket.
Xue Yao reached for it.
Lu Qian didn't give it to him, lowered his head and tore a small edge of the letter paper, handing it to the little companion, "Eat slowly."
Xue Yao took the small edge of the triangle, thinking to himself that the rebel pup still had him in his heart, and was actually so considerate as to only give him a small slice at a time.
Take the small edge and don't turn your head, easing it into your mouth and chewing.
Chewing and chewing and realizing that the person beside him had disappeared, Xue Yao turned his head and saw Lu Qian go to the corner of the house and light an oil lamp - burning Abandon Raising Faith.
Xue Yao: "...... There's a light in this room?"
Lu Qian shook the burnt paper that was still left in his hand, and hooked his lips to his little companion, "Save some for you to eat, either?"
"You did it on purpose!" Xue Yao launched a soulful torture.
Lu Qian acknowledged the charge with a bad smile.
"How come Your Highness isn't behaving at all now!" As far as Xue Yao remembered, Lu Qian in the original story didn't have the leisure time to actively tease people, so why was this kid learning to be bad now?
"Where's the misbehavior?" Lu Qian was puzzled.
Isn't that how you yakuza coax?
The mobster's young companion expresses his displeasure with his learned highness and refuses to sleep in the same bed at night.
Spreading the mattress on the floor, Xue Yao laid down on it and curled up into a ball.
"Yao Yao." Lu Qian called out to him as he sat on the bed.
"Hmph!" Xue Yao turned his back to show his determination.
"Give the mattress back to Master." Lu Qian laughed.
Xue Yao: "......"
There was a knock on the door from outside the house.
What do they want at this hour?
Late night snack delivery?
Xue Yao, who had only eaten one chicken leg, decided to hog all the meat this time.
However, the person who entered was not carrying a food box in his hand.
"The gang leader invites you to come." The visitor looked unkind.
"This late?" Xue Yao didn't think it was a good time to meet.
"Please, both of you." The visitor had no intention of being polite with them.
The two followed the visitor out.
The man, who probably knew where there were traps in the courtyard, walked ahead and barked, "Follow me."
Walking out of the courtyard, I realized that it didn't look like some gang's territory, just a single family home in the mountains.
The two followed the man in black for two miles, and on the way, Xue Yao found a chance to get close to Lu Qian and said, "We can find a chance to knock him out.
Lu Qian whispered back, "There are at least forty hidden weapons around you," and Xue Yao obediently stopped talking.
When they came to the gates of the gang, the man leading the way stopped and let them enter first.
They walked through the door and were greeted by two ushers who said, "Inside, please."
The voice was a bit childish.
With the light from the Qi Death Wind Lamp, Xue Yao could clearly see that the two receivers were at most thirteen or fourteen years old, two boys with double buns.
It made him look over his shoulder and remember the rumors in the original story--
The Xuan Night Sect had an unconscionable secret cultivation technique that was able to suck the vital energy of virgins, so many elders of this sect secretly kept many young men, raising them for themselves to suck their vital energy after they were raised.
This terrifying memory caused Xue Yao's heart to thump as she turned her head to look at Lu Qian in horror!
Lu Qian asked him what was wrong with him with a puzzled look.
"Please hurry up and follow." The boy at the front turned around and urged the pair.
Xue Yao couldn't find an opportunity to explain the situation, and with his heart in turmoil, he followed the boy into the lobby and was led into the side room.
"Please take a seat, I'll go in and inform you." One of the boys went in to inform, the other stayed behind to serve tea.
This was already the inner room, and Xue Yao was curious as to where the boy was going to inform him, but he saw the boy walk over to a painting and turn the vase next to it.
The wall with the painting on it "clucked" and slowly rose, revealing a secret passage to the basement.
Xue Yao: "......"
Sure enough, it's a cult configuration!
Xue Yao took this moment to get close to Lu Qian's ear and voiced the worries in his heart.
"What's a genki? How do I suck it in?" Lu Qian asked the practical question.
"How would I know?" Xue Yao said sharply, "Whatever he's going to suck, it's definitely dangerous."
There was another "cackle" from the side, and the wall of the secret passage opened again.
The boy who informed him quickly ran up and inquired, "May I ask which gentleman is the disciple of Senior Sword Saint? Excuse me, please follow me."
"I am." Xue Yao instinctively rose to protect Lu Qian.
Lu Qian looked at the little companion quizzically.
