Chapter 2542: Finding a Way out (1)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Ahhhh, this feels good!”
He stretched lazily on the corridor on the inn’s second floor, recovering all the vitality and vigour he had consumed last night.
Zhu Yike, who already looked like a rich young master with red lips and white teeth, pushed open the door next door.
Three strange women were squeezed into a bed.
They were different from the first time they met. The three looked extremely ordinary, and even their figures had changed.
With a glance…
It was expected, and he could only say he had no memory of it.
If they had not known in advance, no one would have recognized them as Aunt Xiang, Dongdong, and Ah Yao.
“Time to set off.”
Zhu Yike sat at the tea table and looked at the three girls who had finished was.h.i.+ng up.
He didn’t care if the three of them had slept last night or not.
Anyway, he didn’t sleep. He stared at the three people’s rooms for the whole night, and fortunately, he didn’t notice anything unusual.
“The whole street is looking for a person called Zhu Yike. Brother Li, do you know about this?”
After a night of adjustment, Dongdong’s tone became gentler, and his look at his saviour became highly kind.
After all, if this person were a prodigal son, they would have been unable to resist last night. What they should have done would have been done long ago.
However, even Ah Yao, who had the surname Li, did not dare to move.
Zhu Yike glanced at her.
He remembered that the inn waiter had knocked on the door earlier and delivered breakfast.
He did not expect that in just a few words, this woman would be able to dig out all the information that had been fermented outside overnight.
There was something.
“I know!”
Zhu Yike nodded casually and picked up the teacup. “I also know that they are looking for a prost.i.tute and three women.”
Ah Yao could not help but say, “Zhu… Brother Li, didn’t you say you didn’t leave any traces behind?”
When they were at Lin Shan, this Li guy’s degree of caution in handling the trivial details almost made one’s hair stand on end.
Ah Yao thought that he didn’t leave any clues behind.
In the end, after one night, she learned from the bounty notice in the Holy Divine Palace that her saviour’s surname was not Li but Zhu.
It was a little funny.
Zhu Yike was also confused about this.
He had indeed tried his best, thinking that it was flawless.
However, after wearing the vest for only one night, everyone knew it had fallen off. It was simply shameful.
However, it was impossible to admit it.
He would rather die than admit that he was Zhu Yike before these three people.
“A bunch of good-for-nothings from the foreign tribe. Although they are unable to find out my true ident.i.ty, at the very least, the information regarding the ‘three women’ is accurate and relevant…”
Zhu Yike poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Aunt Xiang. “Where do you want to go?”
Dongdong held back his laughter, and Ah Yao smiled a little, but they tacitly did not expose this man’s disguise. They all looked at Aunt Xiang in the direction of the voice.
“I’m not safe anywhere,” Aunt Xiang said, clutching her braids. “I’ll only be safe if the ban on martial arts is lifted.”
“I can’t do anything about it.” After Zhu Yike finished his cup, he put down his teacup and spread his hands.
He had tried.
However, the Martial Arts Ban was more mysterious than he thought.
Even if his spell technique got close, the power would dissipate. There was no way to crack the mystery.
Zhu Yike thought that he could steal all of Aunt Xiang’s belongings, including her internal organs.
However, he could not steal the token, which was hung on her neck with a thin thread and was unprotected.
Of course, Aunt Xiang did not expect Zhu Yike to be strong enough to lift the ban.
She was thinking of another person, which coincided with her planned destination.
“Other than the Palace Master, there might be another person in the Central Region who can lift the ban.”
“Oh?” Zhu Yike’s interest was piqued. “Who?”
“Kui Leihan.”
These three simple words seemed to carry a weight of ten thousand tons, preventing the other three people in the room from speaking.
Kui Leihan?
The so-called leader of the Ten High n.o.bles?
Zhu Yike was momentarily dumbfounded. His feeling was…
Such an unreachable and faraway figure was even more mysterious than the Bazhun’an. At least the Bazhun’an had some relations.h.i.+p with Lord Shou.
Even if we find a person like Kui Leihan, how could he care about a small fry like us?
On second thought.
Sigh, that’s not right!
Aunty Xiang was also part of the Ten High n.o.bles. They were from the same generation, so they might have had some friends.h.i.+p!
Then, Zhu Yike became even more silent.
The difference between Kui Lenihan and Aunt Xiang was like the difference between Bi Xiaotian and the Bazhun’an.
Who was Bi Xiaotian?
Zhu Yike had almost forgotten about him, too.
It was one of his village playmates when he was six years old. He had drowned in an accident during a summer river trip.
Aunty Xiang quickly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
Zhu Yike wanted to say something, but he was stunned and scared. He tried to say something but stopped.
The two women beside him also had strange expressions.
Aunt Xiang was used to it. She didn’t know that she had somehow become the Bi Xiaotian in someone’s eyes. “I know where Kui Leihan is,” she said to herself.
Zhu Yike suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them from continuing. He squeezed out a smile at Dongdong and Ah Yao.
“Please go to my room first.”
After a moment of shock, the two women stood up. They did not say anything, and they were very self-aware as maidservants. After bidding farewell to Aunt Xiang, they left the room.
Once he left, Zhu Yike went straight to the point, “Qingyuan Mountain, Changde Town?”
Aunt Xiang was surprised. “You know?”
Zhu Yike rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. “The mission I received only had three final destinations. Changde Town, the City of the Dead Bodhisattva, and Half-Moon Bay.”
This was the safe place that Li Fugui had given him.
