"An old friend is looking for me?"
In the palace, Xiao Ruoyin was sitting cross-legged. Many silver ancient symbols were shining on her. She suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the disciple's report.
Frowning, she wondered whether it was Jiang Chen who was looking for her.
She had been staying in the Palace of Heavenly Immortals' station. She had never left. She had no idea what had happened in the Star Picking Tower that day.
"Yes. Apprentice Sister Ruoyin, this is the letter your old friend asked me to deliver. Please take a look."
The disciple outside the palace said respectfully, holding the letter in his hand.
Xiao Ruoyin nodded. She got up and walked out of the palace. She was curious about why Jiang Chen was looking for her.
She also wanted to see Jiang Chen. She was going to try to get her Creation Immortal Boat back.
However, when Xiao Ruoyin opened the letter, she was struck dumb. She frowned.
"Niu Tian is looking for me? It's not Jiang Chen? "
Xiao Ruoyin's expression changed. She was the only one who could recognize the handwriting on the letter.
The letter was simple. It said Jiang Chen was in trouble and needed her help.
She hesitated. She was considering whether she should go and see Niu Tian.
She had woken up the Fate High Priest's memory.
Her old friends, including Niu Tian and Jiang Chen, were not important to her. She would be fine as long as they did not affect her recovery to her peak.
There were thousands of methods in the world. Only the great doctrine was unique.
Jiang Chen was special to her because he was the Creation Immortal Boat's weapon spirit. That was why she had to pay more attention to him.
"What kind of trouble is Jiang Chen in? Why does he need Niu Tian to ask me for help? "
Then Xiao Ruoyin calmed down. She decided to see Niu Tian after thinking it over.
In the inn outside the Palace of Heavenly Immortals, she found Niu Tian in a corner according to the letter's content.
"Ruoyin, you are here."
Niu Tian, frowning, had been waiting for her. He had not expected Xiao Ruoyin to come so quickly. He was pleasantly surprised to see her.
In his opinion, the fact that Xiao Ruoyin had come to see him so quickly meant she cared about Jiang Chen's life and death. She wouldn't just stand by and watch.
However, the current Xiao Ruoyin was very different from the Xiao Ruoyin he knew in the past.
Although her appearance hadn't changed much, she now exuded an aloof and cold aura that seemed otherworldly. She was like a fairy from the Vast Cold Palace who could fly away with the wind at any time.
Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, and her fine black hair danced in the wind. Her face was fair and flawless, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Her sparkling eyes contained an unfathomable depth.
Compared to Niu Tian, who had stood up excitedly, Xiao Ruoyin looked calm and indifferent. She glanced at him and said, "What kind of trouble is Jiang Chen in? Do I need you to find me? "
Her tone was flat, and she had no intention of catching up with an old friend.
This distant and indifferent appearance caused Niu Tian's smile to freeze on his face. He seemed to be slightly embarrassed and in disbelief. After that, he slowly sat back down.
He smiled bitterly to himself. He was a little disappointed. He felt like the Xiao Ruoyin in front of him was really strange.
He couldn't help but recall the many changes in Xiao Ruoyin that Jiang Chen had been complaining to him recently.
"If it weren't so urgent, I wouldn't have bothered you, either, but I really have no other choice. I guess you're the only one who can save Jiang Chen now … He's in great danger. It's a matter of life and death. He was caught by Gu Changge's men in the Star Picking Tower today. "
Niu Tian took a deep breath and calmed down. After that, he told Xiao Ruoyin about everything that had happened today in detail.
"Jiang Chen was caught by Gu Changge?"
After listening to these words, Xiao Ruoyin's brows suddenly wrinkled. She felt that this matter was very tricky and not as simple as Niu Tian thought.
She had to be very careful around Gu Changge, as if she was treading on thin ice. She wasn't as comfortable and free as people had thought.
How could she save Jiang Chen?
"There's nothing we can do about it. Jiang Chen's disguise was seen through by Gu Changge in the Star Picking Tower today. I guess he's being held there now. It's hard to say whether he's dead or alive."
"Jiang Chen is in the hands of a cruel man like Gu Changge. I guess he'll suffer inhumane torture. If no one saves him, he won't survive, "Niu Tian sighed. He couldn't hide his sadness.
"Why do you think I can save Jiang Chen?"
Hearing these words, Xiao Ruoyin was silent for a moment. Her expression did not change, but she asked in a flat voice.
"Gu Changge is so nice to you. Ruoyin, I think you have a way. As long as you talk to Gu Changge and ask for his mercy, maybe he'll let Jiang Chen go for your sake."
Hearing this, Niu Tian smiled bitterly.
Xiao Ruoyin frowned. She didn't know whether Niu Tian was telling the truth or just joking.
Didn't he know what kind of person Gu Changge was?
If she had the nerve to talk to Gu Changge, what would the consequences be?
And what would Gu Changge think?
She would be in a worse situation by then.
"Ruoyin, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. Gu Changge should have known about your relationship with Jiang Chen when he let us out of the dungeon. "
"Since you're his friend, it won't be a big deal for you to ask for his mercy."
"If you really can't do anything, I'll have to find another way."
Seeing Xiao Ruoyin keep silent, Niu Tian got anxious. He was worried she would refuse, so he hurried to explain.
"Got it. I'll try my best. But I can't guarantee whether I can save Jiang Chen. "
After a long silence, Xiao Ruoyin sighed to herself. Then she agreed.
She knew there was no other way. She didn't have a choice.
If Gu Changge killed Jiang Chen, she wouldn't be able to get her Fairy Boat of Good Fortune back.
No matter what the reason was, she had to find a way to save Jiang Chen. At least she couldn't let him be killed by Gu Changge now.
"That's great. I knew you would agree."
Niu Tian was overjoyed. He felt relieved.
After getting Xiao Ruoyin's promise, he didn't stay long. He hurried to leave. He was afraid he would bring criticism to Xiao Ruoyin.
In his opinion, Xiao Ruoyin must have paid a great price to get her current status.
Besides her beauty, he couldn't think of anything else about Xiao Ruoyin.
"You're always making me worry."
Seeing Niu Tian leave, Xiao Ruoyin shook her head. She thought for a while. Then she went to where Gu Changge had been.
She knew Gu Changge would attack Mount Kun the next day with his men to rescue the Ji family's ancestor. She didn't know how much time she would have to waste there.
If she didn't hurry to see Gu Changge, she didn't know when she would have another chance.
…
Splash!!
At this moment, in a damp and dark dungeon, a young man was lying on the ground in a coma, covered with blood.
Then, as a basin of cold water was suddenly poured on him, he shivered. He opened his eyes abruptly. They were bloodshot, but there was still anger and hatred in them.
"You're awake?"
The jailer next to him said with a cold smile. He put down the basin of cold water he had been about to pour on him.
Jiang Chen gradually woke up from his daze. He got to his feet with difficulty.
At this moment, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. He didn't know how many of his bones were broken. All of his internal organs were ruptured. After being slapped by the old man who looked like a butler, he felt a hundred times worse than being crushed by a mountain.
If he didn't have the Sacred Body of Good Fortune, he would have suffered more serious injuries.
"Where am I?"
Then Jiang Chen looked around to size up his surroundings. He noticed there were many bloodstains and scratches on the walls, as well as a cold chain that pierced through his shoulder blades.
Apparently, this was some dark dungeon.
Then he noticed the black-clothed man standing in front of him.
Jiang Chen shivered. He couldn't hide the humiliation, anger, and hatred in his eyes.
"Gu … Chang … Ge!"
Staring at him, he almost squeezed these three words out of his teeth.
Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chuyue were standing behind Gu Changge.
However, Ji Chuyue didn't dare make eye contact with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had been looking at her at the banquet. Although she knew what he was looking at, she had been avoiding his gaze.
It was the same at this moment.
"Looks like your injuries aren't serious enough. You still have the strength to speak."
She begged for fresh flowers.
Gu Changge smiled slightly. The jailer next to him gave him a cup of steaming tea.
He took a deep breath unhurriedly. He looked very relaxed and natural.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Gu Changge looking down at him so casually, Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He ignored the sharp pain all over his body and was going to fight him to the death.
However, before he could do anything, the jailer next to him gave him a cold kick. He scolded him, "How dare you act so presumptuously in front of the young lord! Don't court death! "
Puff!!
Jiang Chen was injured all over. Of course he couldn't take such a kick. He spat out blood, mixed with many pieces of his internal organs.
He was sent flying and fell against the wall. He looked even more embarrassed.
Ji Chuyue couldn't bear to see him like this, but she didn't dare say anything in front of Gu Changge.
"Sister, you'd better tell him that in person."
Ji Yaoxing couldn't help but shake his head. He was worried Gu Changge would misunderstand, so he told Ji Chuyue to cut ties with Jiang Chen with her own hands.
In this way, both she and Jiang Chen would give up on each other so that they wouldn't have any illusions.
Ji Chuyue's small face was slightly pale. Hearing this, she glanced at her brother and then at the indifferent Gu Changge. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked forward with determination.
Gradually, as if she had thought it through, the expression on her face also slowly became calm.
..... ..... ...
"Chuyue …"
"I know you're in a difficult situation because you can't control yourself. I don't blame you. "
Jiang Chen got to his feet. Gazing at her, he seemed to have guessed what Ji Chuyue was going to say.
But at this moment, he showed an understanding smile.
"Jiang Chen, don't flatter yourself. Don't you understand? How did your identity get exposed? "
Ji Chuyue shook her head. She said in a cold voice, "If you know what's good for you, you'll work for Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu is generous. Maybe he'll spare your life and overlook your previous offense. "
"Chuyue, you don't have to say that. I know you're not that kind of person."
Jiang Chen tried his best to bear the sharp pain all over his body, but he couldn't help but smile.
He knew Ji Chuyue had been forced to do this.
She was a kind-hearted girl. She wouldn't do anything to expose his identity.
What he saw before his eyes was just an act.
"You …"
Ji Chuyue frowned. She was anxious.
She was saving Jiang Chen. As long as he obeyed her and worked for Gu Changge, he would survive. Why didn't he understand?
"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet. So, I'll tell you frankly."
"The Ji family wants to save their ancestors. You have the inheritance of a Divine Origin Master. You can help the Ji family in Mount Kun. After you save the ancestors of the Ji family, you'll be their benefactor. Even the ancestors of the Ji family will be grateful to you."
"Aren't you interested in Ji Chuyue? With the support of the ancestors of the Ji family, it'll be possible for you to be the son-in-law of the Ji family. "
Gu Changge faintly smiled and waved her hand, interrupting Ji Chuyue's words.
Then he walked over. He suddenly held Ji Chuyue's slim waist with his other hand. She was petrified. She didn't know what to do.
"Gu Changge, what are you doing?"
Jiang Chen's face turned extremely pale. His eyes were burning with anger. He wished he could cut off Gu Changge's hand right away.
Ji Chuyue's head was also buzzing. She was petrified. She didn't dare move at all.
However, Gu Changge didn't seem to see Jiang Chen's expression. In other words, he turned a blind eye to Jiang Chen's look.
He was still smiling slightly. He caressed the pretty face in front of him, which was panicking.
"As you can see, Ji Chuyue doesn't want to be my concubine."
"If you don't want her to be played by me like today, I think you'll find a way to save her."
"If you save the ancestors of the Ji family, you'll be able to marry Ji Chuyue and become the son-in-law of the Ji family. Or you'll be killed by me. You can choose one out of these two choices. "
