In an instant, a fiery sensation spread in her throat, reaching an unbearable level.
"What... what did you make me eat?" Ma Lele clutched her throat and asked painfully. As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze. Was that voice really hers?
"The medicine is to cure your mute poison!" The man shot her a cold glance, dropped this line, and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Ma Lele couldn't quite grasp her own feelings. If Tian Fei Nuo had captured her, why would he go so far as to provide her with the antidote?
However, it had to be said that the feeling of being able to speak again was wonderful!
"Hey, who exactly is it? Who brought me here?" Ma Lele suddenly called out to the departing figure, raising her voice.
The man jolted slightly but ignored her and continued walking outside.
This situation was truly bizarre; Ma Lele felt both happy and anxious. She couldn't understand who it was that had gone to such lengths to capture her, treating her well and even providing an antidote.
Could it be... a larger conspiracy?
At this thought, she couldn't help but shiver. It felt as if a pair of cold eyes were watching her from behind. He knew everything about her, yet she knew nothing about him.
She could only live under his control, slowly being tormented.
With this thought, the joy of regaining her voice vanished completely.
Ma Lele's previously relaxed brows furrowed deeply once again.
That night, in the mansion, Luo Qingyun and Wen Shaojun were dressed in black and were truly preparing to leave.
At this moment, Hua Nongying rushed out in black clothing and firmly said, "I want to go with you!"
"No way, it's too dangerous. Besides, you don't know any martial arts, and we would have to take care of you. Absolutely not!" Wen Shaojun resolutely rejected her proposal.
"Please let me go! I won't follow you into the mansion; I'll just hide behind the door and wait for you to come out. I really want to know about Lele as soon as possible!" Hua Nongying pleaded with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty about Ma Lele.
If she hadn't said those things back then, Lele wouldn't have hidden away, and she wouldn't have been captured by the bad guys.
In short, it was all her fault!
Wen Shaojun's attitude was as firm as Luo Qingyun's; they both disagreed with bringing Hua Nongying along. Just as the three were arguing, a group of people holding torches suddenly rushed in.
The courtyard was illuminated as bright as day.
Seeing the situation was dire, Luo Qingyun discreetly pushed Hua Nongying into the inner room and shot her a fierce warning glance before he and Wen Shaojun stepped forward to the entrance of the courtyard.
The newcomers were none other than the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, Mo Ting. He looked at Luo Qingyun and Wen Shaojun and calmly said, "Mr. Luo, Chancellor Wen, I apologize for the intrusion!" With that, he raised his hand, and the Imperial Forest Army immediately surrounded Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun.
"What kind of play is this, Commander Mo?" Luo Qingyun's eyes were filled with mockery; he didn't take Mo Ting seriously at all.
"I am acting on the Emperor's orders to apprehend you two!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shaojun and Luo Qingyun exchanged glances. He coldly asked, "What crime have we committed?"
"You will naturally understand when you see the Emperor. Chancellor Wen, Mr. Luo, I know you are both highly skilled in martial arts. But this is an imperial order; please don't make it difficult for us! If things get too awkward, it won't be good for anyone involved, right? If there’s any misunderstanding here, you can clarify it with the Emperor later. For now, I must ask you two to bear with us!" Mo Ting's words were sincere; this situation had come too suddenly. The two before him were not ordinary individuals; if a fight broke out, he might not gain the upper hand.
Moreover, the Emperor had always been indulgent towards Luo Qingyun, so it was better not to make things too tense.
Wen Shaojun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I will go with you!"
As soon as he spoke, Luo Qingyun nodded in agreement.
After all, he did not want to make things too awkward with his senior brother, so he decided to take it one step at a time.
The noisy crowd at the entrance gradually dispersed. After a long while, Hua Nongying finally walked out from the inner room. She looked at the figures disappearing into the dim night and bit her lip, ultimately making a decision.
Inside a room surrounded by stone walls, several candles flickered with light.
Above the room was a reclining chair covered with a tiger skin, where a man dressed in black sat. His face was obscured by a bronze mask. Upon closer inspection, the mask bore the image of a lion's head, fierce and terrifying.
The cold aura emanating from the man made it difficult for anyone to approach him easily.
Below him, a kneeling man was speaking softly.
"Reporting to the Master, I have already made her take the medicine. After she fell asleep, I also had the doctor check her pulse; the child in her womb is very healthy. However, the mother is quite weak and could easily have a miscarriage!"
Upon hearing this, the masked man nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied. "When you went to get the medicine, you weren't discovered, were you?" His voice was chilling and ghostly, as if it emanated from beneath the ground.
It gave off an unsettling feeling, like a small snake slowly crawling over one's body.
Having followed the Master for so many years, he still felt fear when alone with him.
The subordinate shivered and replied earnestly, "I was very cautious and was not discovered by Luo Qingyun!" He truly did not understand why the Master inexplicably ordered him to bring this woman back and then inexplicably stole something from Luo Qingyun.
What puzzled him most was that his daily task now was to observe every move of the woman they had captured.
For example, what did she do every day? How many bowls of rice did she eat? How many sips of tea did she drink? How many times did she laugh? How many times did she frown? A series of trivial matters.
As the Seven-Foot Man, it was hard not to feel wronged doing such things.
However, the Sect Master always acted strangely, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions.
"Go on, if anything happens, report to me immediately!" The man wearing the mask nodded in satisfaction, a faint smile lingering on his unseen face.
In the Dali Temple prison.
Luo Qingyun and Wen Shaojun were currently standing awkwardly in their cell; both were exceptional individuals and had never experienced such treatment before.
The two remained silent, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the cell was extremely bizarre.
The most frustrated one was Wen Shaojun.
Getting married should have been a joyous occasion, but now the bride had vanished without a trace, and he found himself locked up in a foreign prison.
It was truly incomprehensible.
"This must be the doing of Tian Fei Nuo!" After thinking for a long time, Luo Qingyun finally spoke out angrily. Who else would have a grudge against the two of them?
"I think so too. The only thing we don't know is what charge he has pinned on us!" Wen Shaojun said with a self-deprecating smile, his jade-like face filled with sorrow.
