Ren Baqian was awakened by hunger. The strong sense of hunger was like a tide that stimulated his brain.
His surroundings were dark, but he was lying on a familiar bed.
The sound of heavy rain could be heard from outside the window.
However, Ren Baqian had no time to think about other things.
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry …
Ren Baqian felt that his eyes had turned green.
He quickly found a bag filled with candies from around the bed. He tore open the wrapper with trembling hands and threw the candies into the bag. Finally, he swallowed them without any hesitation.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces … A bag of about 1.5 kilograms of candies was in his stomach. The burning sensation in his stomach didn't diminish at all, and his brain was still sending out signals that he needed to eat.
Ren Baqian flipped over and landed on the ground like a ghost. He staggered, stabilized his body with great difficulty, and hurriedly pushed open the door and ran out.
When his gaze landed on Tiantian and Gungun, who were hiding from the rain under the eaves, he felt as if he had seen delicious food. A large amount of saliva was secreted from his mouth before he swallowed it.
Fortunately, although the 1.5 kilograms of candies didn't alleviate his hunger, it allowed him to retain his ability to think.
Otherwise, if he had rushed out as soon as he woke up, he reckoned that he would only see a floor of bones when he woke up the next day.
Ren Baqian's figure floated into the rain, leaped over the wall, and headed straight for the imperial kitchen.
Ever since he woke up, he had felt that his body was as light as a feather. Originally, he could only jump about 10 meters, but now, he could easily jump 20 to 30 meters, which almost made him crash into a tree.
However, he only pressed on the tree with one hand to slow himself down. He flipped his body up, landed on a branch, and dashed forward again.
"Who's there!" A shout came from the darkness.
Although Ren Baqian couldn't see, he could sense that there were two very distinct auras in the darkness ahead.
In the past, it was extremely difficult for Ren Baqian to detect them. Now, he could easily sense that there were two people there and could even sense their approximate strength.
"Is this an Earth Wheel expert?" Ren Baqian thought to himself. He then said in a deep voice, "It's me, the principal of the Black Bamboo Academy!"
As soon as he spoke, he was slightly stunned. This voice didn't seem to belong to him. It was deeper than his own voice, and it sounded a little hoarse and torn.
"Sir Ren?" someone asked in the darkness.
"It's me!" Ren Baqian jumped down from the tree and gradually saw the two guards in the dark.
"Who are you?" Their expressions changed when they saw Ren Baqian. The steel sabers in their hands slashed at him gracefully.
Ren Baqian, "…"
"Can't you two recognize me?" Ren Baqian retreated as he endured the hunger that never stopped. With a light leap, he landed on the wall behind him. However, the steel sabers of the two men followed him like a shadow, even splitting the rain in the air.
"What kind of demon is this? How dare you impersonate Sir Ren!"
Ren Baqian leaped, and with a bang, the entire wall was split apart by the two of them.
If he had encountered such a situation in the past, he would probably have had to teleport back to Earth in an instant. However, even though the two of them were fast, he was able to grasp their movements in the dark and evade them.
"I'm Ren Baqian. Can't you recognize me?" Ren Baqian frowned again. How could the imperial guards not recognize him?
"Even if you want to impersonate, you have to be more realistic. Look at you, which part of you looks like Sir Ren? Furthermore, if it was Sir Ren, he would have been killed by that slash just now, "the duo shouted as they chased after him.
Ren Baqian was speechless.
Following their shouts, people in other parts of the palace responded with long roars.
As if a hornet's nest had been poked, figures appeared on the roofs and walls and quickly surrounded Ren Baqian.
Without saying a word, rays of sabers surged toward Ren Baqian and joined in the strangulation.
"Damn you!" Ren Baqian was about to die from anger. He was already starving to death, but he still had to be entangled by them.
He had just broken through to the Earth Wheel level, yet he was already strangled by these guards. It was simply a joke.
However, facing the rays of sabers around him, Ren Baqian felt a great sense of danger and had goosebumps all over his body. He clearly felt that there was an opening around him, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain at all. He could only watch helplessly as the sabers in the rain sealed off all directions around him.
It was as if he would be split in half in the next second.
"Metal chain!" Ren Baqian shouted in his heart.
If he didn't block them now, the empress would be able to collect his corpse in a while.
Furthermore, the metal chain often appeared. Even if those people couldn't recognize him, there would always be someone who could, right?
As Ren Baqian shouted in his heart, a chain popped out from the top of his head. When it realized that it was surrounded by steel knives, it was startled and straightened its body, just like how an animal would straighten its tail when it was frightened.
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck down, and the metal chain suddenly became a lightning rod … Ren Baqian, who was leaping in the air with the chain on his head, was struck solidly …
"F * ck your grandpas!" Ren Baqian fell from the sky with smoke coming out of his mouth. He didn't expect that he would have such an unlucky day.
After painstakingly attaining the Earth Wheel level, he woke up to be chased by guards and then struck by lightning … Ren Baqian didn't know who to scold.
He now understood the kind of bitter expert who thought that he was the best in the world after years of hard work, only to be smashed to death by a flying shoe as soon as he came out of seclusion.
They were all people who had fallen from grace!
"Struck to death by lightning? It smells like it's cooked! "The many guards who rushed over stopped their sabers and looked at each other.
How unlucky was this person to be struck to death by lightning before they could do anything? However, this person was really courting death by sneaking into the palace.
"Someone has invaded. Inform the commander to come. Also, he pretended to be Sir Ren just now and went to check on him, "the two guards immediately said as they recalled an important matter.
"This person isn't dead yet!" someone said after checking Ren Baqian's breath.
"Watch him and wait for the commander to come."
Xin Zhe rushed over in a moment. Rain was dripping down her armor, and her face was cold.
"Someone sneaked into the palace? How many people? "
"Only one was found! However, this person pretended to be Sir Ren. I'm afraid that he's in danger, so I've already sent someone to investigate. "
"Pass down the order to search the entire palace to see if he has any accomplices."
"Commander, Sir Ren is missing!" someone suddenly reported.
"What?" Xin Zhe was shocked. If Ren Baqian was missing, it would be a big problem.
"The door to Sir Ren's room was open, but it seems that no one went in. There are no traces of water on the ground. With such heavy rain, it's impossible to sneak into Sir Ren's room without leaving any traces. It looks like Sir Ren left on his own. "
"I followed the traces left by Sir Ren after he left the room. The rain was too heavy, so there were very few traces left. However, according to the direction, it should be here … "
As soon as he said that, everyone was instantly confused.
"But this person's voice, figure, and appearance aren't Sir Ren's!" The two guards who were the first to arrive were dumbfounded.
Everyone carefully sized up the person on the ground. The lightning strike just now had left only a few rags hanging on his body. His whole body was charred black and emitted the aroma of roasted meat …
A metal chain mysteriously protruded from the top of Ren Baqian's head …
Xin Zhe looked at this metal chain, and the coldness on her face instantly dissipated. Such a wretched metal chain — there was no one else …
