Mu Ruyue pondered for a while and then looked up at Jiang Li: "I trust you, take us to the secret passage now."
"Alright, follow ..."
Jiang Li had already removed all the people from the mansion, then led Mu Ruyue and the other person towards the secret passage...
The passage seed bottomless; looking into the distance, it was nothing but darkness...
"Enter this place and keep moving forward, you will be able to leave the Demon City, I wish you a safe journey."
Mu Ruyue nodded, suddenly rembering sothing, she turned to Jiang Li: "By helping us escape, if the Demon Emperor finds out, will it cause trouble for you?"
She did not want to cause trouble for any innocent people because of her actions.
"Yes!"
Without a second thought, Jiang Li nodded, and upon seeing Mu Ruyue’s hesitation, a warmth filled her heart: "But rest assured, no one will find out!"
Mu Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter if the Demon Emperor’s people find out or not, once I gain strength, I will co back to see all of you, and only after confirming your safety will I leave the Demon World..."
With those words, she hesitated no longer and leapt into the secret passage.
Du Feifei lightly pressed her lips together, looking sowhat reluctantly at Mu Ruyue’s disappearing figure, she said: "Who knows when the next eting will be, Grandpa, will the General Manor really be alright?"
"As long as the Demon Emperor doesn’t find out, everything will be fine, so you must not speak of this to anyone."
"Alright," Du Feifei nodded, "But, Grandpa, I wish to tell the Seventh Prince that Mu Ruyue has safely left, I think he would be very worried..."
"You must not."
This ti it was Du Yi who spoke, he glanced at his granddaughter and said: "While the Seventh Prince is trustworthy, there are spies from the Demon Emperor in the Seventh Prince Mansion; if anyone overhears this, it would an disaster for the General Manor. For your grandfather’s sake, you must not let anyone know, even if it’s the Seventh Prince..."
Du Feifei lightly pressed her lips together: "Alright, I will keep my lips sealed and not let anyone know..."
...
Inside the secret passage, Mu Ruyue felt the man beside her growing weaker, and her heart tightened with tension.
"Wuchen, are your injuries severe? Why is the elixir I gave you not working?"
Ye Wuchen shook his head, his charming voice sounded weak: "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired..."
"Wuchen, you should rest inside the Dan Book for a while."
"No need, I’m not comfortable leaving you alone outside..."
Hearing the man’s voice, Mu Ruyue felt increasingly uneasy.
"Ye Wuchen, are you hiding sothing from ? The Demon City is isolated from the outside world, without a token, it’s impossible to enter. Usually, when you appear, I can feel your presence from afar, but this ti there was nothing, it’s like you appeared out of thin air..."
"Muer."
He tightened her arm in his embrace, and above her head ca the man’s faint breathing: "So things I will tell you when the ti is right..."
He was withholding information so as not to make her overly worried...
"Alright."
Mu Ruyue raised her head, her gaze falling on the man’s face through the darkness.
As her vision was enveloped in darkness, she couldn’t clearly see the man’s expression...
"I trust you, so, no matter what happens, you can tell , as long as we stand united, there’s no obstacle we can’t overco..."
