"You haven't forgotten our bet, have you?" Yan Li smiled charmingly.
Ji Tiansheng's expression changed and his eyes turned cold. "I can't agree to what you want. Do you know what the consequences will be if the defense map of Rong City is leaked? Tens of millions of innocent people will be exposed to the butcher's knife of the alien race. "
"You said it before, it's impossible for you to spare me." Yan Li said.
Ji Tiansheng flew into a rage. "You want me to prove it on the spot?"
"Calm down." Yan Li pressed his hand down and said softly, "You may have misunderstood. I'm not pleading for Tang Sanghua."
He reached out and gently pressed the back of her hand. His eyes were affectionate and focused. "Actually, I just want to kiss you."
"What, what do you want?" Under his affectionate gaze, Ji Tiansheng actually panicked a little.
Yan Li gently kissed the back of her hand as if he was holding a peerless treasure. Then, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you before you agree." After saying that, he got up and walked out.
"Who do you think you are!" Ji Tiansheng was extremely embarrassed and angry, but he was suddenly startled. A violent aura surged out from his body, and the low table in front of him was torn to pieces. The piece of paper with the word "loyalty" on it was also shattered into pieces.
"Who do you think you are?" She asked again in a low voice.
Yan Li stood at the door and turned his head slightly. "My name is Yan Li, and I'm a bandit." After a pause, he emphasized again, "A free bandit."
Ji Tiansheng's delicate body trembled, and a boy's voice seemed to ring in her ears, "Because bandits are free and unrestrained. If they want to drink, they can drink. If they want to eat, they can eat. If they want to eat, they can eat. If they want to eat, they can eat. If they want to do, they can do whatever they want. There are no rules …"
"You're not allowed to learn from him!"
A strong wind came without warning. Yan Li quickly turned around and felt a slender handprint on his chest. He couldn't help but retreat. Unprepared, he tripped on the threshold and slammed into the wall of the corridor. He couldn't help but feel dizzy.
In his anger, he couldn't help but ask angrily, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "This is your punishment for being disrespectful to me just now. It seems that you're not convinced. Your punishment is still too light! "After saying that, he waved his hand again, and a burst of energy shot out, hitting Yan Li's chest.
"Ugh!" Yan Li let out a muffled groan, almost suffocating as if he was drowning.
He sat on the ground, and after a while, he forced himself to stand up. "Compared to the physical pain, the mental restraint is more suffocating. Remember, no matter what I've done for you, it's because I have needs. To put it bluntly, we're just using each other. If you have any delusions because of this, then I'm really sorry. I, Yan Li, am a proud man. How can I be ordered around by others! "
"What about you and Tang Sanghua? Are you also using each other?" Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "What benefits can you get from saving her?"
"Benefits?" Yan Li smiled coldly. "No, I saved her because I wanted to save her. If you insist on a reason, it would be better to say that compared to you, she's more to my liking."
"Get out of here!" Ji Tiansheng was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Yan Li continued to smile coldly. "You're the emperor, and I'm the robber. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. It's best if we don't meet again." After saying that, he left.
"Bastard!" Ji Tiansheng gritted his teeth, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Li Yixiu, who was waiting in the next room, walked over. "I think that we must not let Yan Li leave Yongling. Otherwise, Yanshan Robber will be out of the control of the imperial court."
"Do I need you to remind me?" Ji Tiansheng glared at him coldly.
"Yes, I was a bit worried."
Ji Tiansheng took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "I lost my composure. Please don't take it to heart, Li."
"I wouldn't dare." Li Yixiu smiled. "It's my duty to share Your Majesty's worries."
Ji Tiansheng thought for a moment and said, "Pass down my decree. Before the Judicial Department captures Tang Sanghua, Yan Li cannot leave Yongling. If he forces his way in …"
At this point, she hesitated for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, she regained her determination. "If he forces his way in, he will be regarded as an accomplice and will be killed!"
The decree was quickly sent to the Judicial Department.
In the hall, all the members of the Judicial Department were present. Even Ma Guanshan and the other students of the academy were no exception.
Li Yong sat at the head of the table and couldn't help but grin. "Yan Li, oh Yan Li, you can either stay in Yongling or seek your own death. Don't blame me for being ruthless. — — Zhu Hou! "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Hou stepped out helplessly.
"Send people to guard all the major city gates and conduct a strict investigation. If there are any clues, immediately arrest Yan Li and hand him over to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Hou responded and left.
"Ma Guanshan, Ye Qing, Lianhai Changjin," Li Yong called again.
The three were startled. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You are in charge of supervising Yan Li." Li Yong's eyes were treacherous. He smiled strangely. "Just supervise him. Don't hurt him. I will slowly torture him."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three were confused but didn't dare to whisper. Lianhai Changjin brought the two to his room and said,
"What do you think?"
"I don't care what you think. I want to save him," Ye Qing said without hesitation.
"No, I mean the meaning of Li Yong's order." Lianhai Changjin frowned. "I feel that something is wrong."
Ma Guanshan sat down and said lazily, "Even Yan Li wouldn't dare to leave the city under these circumstances. Why worry so much?"
Lianhai Changjin said, "I think Brother Yan is a person who values friendship. Don't you know that he almost lost his life to save Instructor Shen?"
"Heh!" Ma Guanshan sneered. "Instructor Shen was with us. We were all fine. Why did she fall for it? Perhaps Yan Li deliberately directed the hero saving the damsel in distress. "
Lianhai Changjin smiled bitterly. "Brother Ma, this is prejudice. I beg to differ."
"You've been talking nonsense since just now!" Ye Qing said angrily. "Are you going to save him or not? Give me a straightforward answer!"
Lianhai and Ma Guanshan immediately fell silent.
After a moment, Ma Guanshan said indifferently, "I've done what I should."
Ye Qing said angrily, "What have you done? Lianhai Changjin, what do you say? "
"I …"
"He has the world's number one manor behind him. His wealth is comparable to that of a nation. Who knows how many people are envious of him? If he's suspected of colluding with a foreign race, he'll be in trouble." A voice interrupted Lianhai Changjin's words.
The three were startled. Looking towards the voice, they saw Yan Li smiling at them from the beam.
"When did you get here?"
"Just now." Yan Li jumped down. "I had a falling out with Ji Tiansheng. She's probably holding back her anger and wants to do something to me. I came to find out what she wants to do with me."
Lianhai Changjin repeated the imperial edict, then said, "Brother Yan, I think this matter needs to be considered at length."
Yan Li snorted. "As expected of an emperor. He's truly merciless."
"What do you plan to do?" Ma Guanshan's eyes shone. "I've already found a way to leave seclusion for you."
"The more you don't want me to do something, the more I have to do it." Yan Li sneered. "Not only do I have to do it, I have to do it to the best of my ability."
"These words aren't suitable for us to say," Lianhai Changjin said awkwardly. "Just now, the commander told us to supervise you."
"Oh?" Yan Li's interest was piqued. "What did he say?"
Lianhai Changjin repeated Li Yong's words.
After hearing this, Yan Li couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "He's really narrow-minded."
"What do you mean?"
"He asked the three of you to act alone because he wants you to help me leave the city."
Lianhai Changjin was dumbfounded. "Why?"
Ma Guanshan said calmly, "If you leave the city, you'll be considered 'breaking in'. You'll be considered an accomplice. That's why he has an excuse to deal with Yan Li."
Lianhai Changjin still couldn't believe it. "He's a Cultivator."
"That's why I said he's narrow-minded."
Yan Li smiled. "It'll be difficult for me to break out on my own. Of course I have to accept his gift. Otherwise, how can I repay his good intentions?"
"Your family should have a caravan in Yongling." He turned to Lianhai Changjin. "The sooner the better."
"I'll have them prepare … Wait, are you really going?" Lianhai Changjin frowned. "Once I take that step, the imperial court and the Yanshan Robber will really be at each other's throats!"
Yan Li said calmly, "Once a person gives in once, there'll be a second time, a third time … I want her to know that I'm in charge of my own affairs."
"I understand. But the soonest you can do it is tomorrow morning. "
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Ma Guanshan said coldly, "You're stubbornly sticking to your own principles. The imperial court is His Majesty's imperial court. If you don't become an official, then you'll be His Majesty's enemy. If one day we meet on the battlefield, I won't be merciful. "
"He's just afraid of death!" Ye Qing spat at his back, then turned to Yan Li. "I want to save people too."
"No." Yan Li shook his head.
"Why?"
"I might not be able to save people, but I'll have to take a burden with me. Do I have a death wish?"
"You might not be able to defeat me!" Ye Qing was furious.
"That might be true in terms of cultivation, but killing is a superb skill."
No matter what Ye Qing said, Yan Li wouldn't agree.
Soon, it was the hour of the Yin the next day. The sky was barely bright, and the east was about to brighten.
Under the guidance of a steward, Yan Li arrived at a manor. The convoy was already waiting at the door.
"Young Master Yan, please change your clothes. We'll depart immediately." The steward took out a guard's robe and gave it to Yan Li.
Yan Li gave the sword case and the Xuan Jun Sword to the steward and mixed them with the goods in the convoy.
After changing his clothes, the convoy departed. Yan Li walked beside the carriage and soon arrived at the city gate. From afar, he could see that the city gate was already open, but there were many officers interrogating passers-by.
When it was Yan Li's turn, the leader of the convoy was familiar with the guards, so he only glanced at them briefly and didn't examine them in detail.
Just as the convoy was about to leave the city, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. "Wait!"
