This incomparably accurate conjecture caused the three of them to completely cut off the tiny bit of resistance in their hearts. The previous two companions fell to the ground in an instant, and the custom-made heavy iron door was casually smashed open with a punch. At this moment, it all seemed incomparably reasonable.
The three of them leaned against the wall, ten thousand times more obedient than before, and looked at Lu Ping together.
"Let's go." Lu Ping said.
"Yes." The three of them accepted the order in unison, and walked out in orderly steps.
"This one, this one, and this one." One of them had a fawning smile on his face, and like a passionate tour guide, he pointed at the iron door to Lu Ping.
"Go open it." Lu Ping said.
"Ah, no, the ones I pointed out are the ones we don't have the authority to, so we'll have to trouble you." The fawning face said respectfully.
"Oh, then you guys do what you need to do." Lu Ping said.
"Yes." The three of them turned around and busied themselves.
"What's going on?" Leng Qing looked at the three of them suspiciously, and in the end, her gaze fell on Lu Ping. The three of them made a fuss, and all of them said "that", "that", and there was no useful information at all. She only saw that they recognized Lu Ping's identity, and in an instant, they changed from being subservient to being truly obedient. So the problem still lay with Lu Ping. What was this guy's relationship with this place?
Lu Ping smiled, and didn't explain. He followed behind the three of them, and walked towards the door they had pointed out earlier. His actions were the same as before, and he just went up and punched, and then the door was smashed down. Lu Ping didn't go in, and only waved his hand towards the inside. "You're free."
The first person who had been rescued had already walked out of his cell, and was standing at the door of his cell, looking at everything that had happened in front of him in astonishment.
One, two, three …
Another young man, who was also imprisoned here, without a name, with only a number, living in darkness all day, enjoying nothing but pain and torture, came out of cell after cell with the same expression of shock, confusion, and uneasiness as he did. For the first time, they met each other in this underground passage.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
Everyone found it unbelievable. Most of them did not remember leaving any traces in this world. From the very first second of their memories, they were imprisoned in this dark underground. No one knew of their existence, so they never had the thought of being rescued. But now, the iron door that separated them from the rest of the world was opened. For the first time, everyone walked out without being monitored or forced to. They could move freely and speak freely.
Rescued?
Under such circumstances, no one had the thought of doing so. Only a small number of people whom Lu Ping had shouted at at the door were now staring blankly at Lu Ping. The word 'rescued' was circling in their minds, but it had yet to come to fruition.
"Everyone, you are free, at least for now." Lu Ping had no way of explaining to them one by one, so he simply shouted, "Whether you can escape or not depends on yourselves. I still have something to do. If I'm done, I'll come back to help you."
His shout was somewhat inexplicable and without rhyme or reason. However, the youngster in the underground had the same experiences as Lu Ping, and in the same environment, he had developed the same way of thinking. To them, Lu Ping's words were very clear. Everything that needed to be done was said clearly.
"We're free?" Everyone reacted at the same time, and the passageway became noisy.
"The exit is over there. Be careful." Lu Ping pointed in the direction they came from. As for him, he continued to move forward. There seemed to be a cell in the depths of the passageway that had not been opened.
"Eh, that …" One of the three hastily shouted, but before he could finish, Lu Ping's fist had already punched out. The iron door was also blown away. It looked easier than before.
Just after that, Lu Ping took a big stride forward and dashed to the side. A person flickered out of it and charged toward Lu Ping at a high speed. Lu Ping waved his hand hastily, and the man who had flown out was sent flying away. He crashed into the wall.
"That's not …" Only then did the three finish their words. What they meant was that the cell wasn't the one Lu Ping was thinking about. The person inside was also different from these youngsters. In Lu Zheng's words, there was no need to worry about him running away because he came here on his own accord.
Therefore, although it looked like he had to endure the same pain as the other youngsters, Lu Zheng arranged for him to be in this cell. This was not imprisonment, but living. The cell in the depths of the passageway also looked like a cell, but in fact, one side of this corner was a mountain wall. His cell had windows and a door, which was very different from the other cells.
After the brief introduction of the situation, Lu Ping concluded, "So, he doesn't want to leave, right?"
"Probably … I guess?" The three looked at each other.
At that moment, a voice came from the foot of the wall.
"I didn't expect you to chase me here. It seems that my fake death didn't fool you," said the person.
"Oh?"
The three of them, including Leng Qing, looked at Lu Ping. In the end, Lu Ping's expression was even more confused than theirs.
"Who is it?" Lu Ping asked.
"You're asking us?" The three of them and Leng Qing asked together.
"I'll ask him." Lu Ping pointed at the foot of the wall.
The person lying at the foot of the wall was Wei Tianqi, who was also in a daze. He thought that Lu Ping was here to kill him, but in the end, this person didn't even recognize him?
"Shouldn't it be someone you know?" Leng Qing said to Lu Ping.
"Yan Ge?" Lu Ping was puzzled. He had come all the way here, and the only person who was hunting him was this person. But from the moment they fought, the figure and the voice, it was completely different. In addition, Yan Ge had silver hair that only the Green Peak Royalty had. This person didn't have it either!
At this moment, Wei Tianqi also knew that he was wrong. He thought of himself as someone important, but in Lu Ping's eyes, he didn't exist at all. Compared to the fear of being caught, the humiliation of being ignored was even more unbearable for him. He was the son of the Canyon Peak City Lord, and he had been superior since he was a child. But when he first came into contact with Lu Ping, he was pushed away by Lu Ping. He floated in the air for more than 20 meters, and after landing, he flipped four times and slid a few meters away.
Ever since he was a child, he had never been in such a sorry state. But for him, what was really embarrassing that day was not this flight or the few flips after landing.
Rather, it was when he was afraid and rolled and crawled to avoid Lu Ping who was walking towards him. Lu Ping didn't even spare him a glance. He just walked straight past him.
At that moment, it was the first time in Wei Tianqi's life that he felt despised. No, it was not despise, it was simply disregard.
After that, he went to the Moonlight Soul Cleansing Cultivation, participated in the Soul Point Assembly, and even his father personally targeted Lu Ping. Then, he became the City Lord, entered the Southern Sky Academy, exterminated Nightingale, followed strange visitors to this bitter cold place, and endured inhuman pain and torture …
From wanting revenge to wanting revenge, he had experienced many things and witnessed many changes in more than a year.
But in the end, this was what hadn't changed.
Lu Ping's disregard for him had never changed.
