After leaving the palace, Dawa patted his chest and heaved a long sigh of relief. “You scared me to death! Fortunately, I came out!”
Zhou Jin glanced at him. “Do you have to be so frightened?”
“How can it not be? You don’t know…” Dawa was halfway through his sentence when he remembered that the Sorcerer King was also in the carriage and barely swallowed his words. What he wanted to say was that the Soul Rakshasa had woken up, but for some reason, he felt that it was better not to mention this in front of the Sorcerer King, although he did not know why.
“Should we… hurry up?” Shadow Six asked.
“Yes.” Shadow Thirteen nodded. He tightened his grip on the reins and drove the carriage to its maximum speed.
The disappearance of the Sorcerer King could not be hidden for long. After all, “Ye Ying” had gone to visit the Sorcerer King. The Sorcerer Queen was concerned about her son and would go to the Sorcerer King’s Palace soon. Even if she did not go to the Sorcerer King’s Palace, she would go to Ye Yang’s bedchamber. At that time, she would realize that Ye Yang was no longer around.
In order to escape, Dawa used the Wen Manor’s best horse. The carriage flew on the official road at a speed that was almost like lightning. They quickly left the palace, but no one expected them to bump into the Third Elder.
The Third Elder originally planned to go to the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder’s place to sit. Unexpectedly, he encountered a speeding carriage and almost bumped into his carriage. However, this alley was not spacious, so both sides had no choice but to tighten their reins and stop the carriage.
With this stop, Third Elder sensed that something was wrong.
Wasn’t this the Wen Manor’s carriage? Where were they going in such a hurry?
Third Elder lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen in the outer carriage. “Who’s in the carriage?”
Shadow Thirteen gripped the reins tightly. Shadow Six stared at him seriously. “What does it have to do with you?”
“Insolence!” The Third Elder completely lifted the curtain. He was Wen Xu’s father-in-law. Even Wen Xu’s biological father had to politely call him in-law. Who was this coachman? He actually dared to boast so shamelessly in front of him!
“Go and see who’s sitting in the carriage,” Third Elder said to the coachman.
“Yes!” The coachman jumped off the carriage and strode towards the carriage opposite.
Shadow Thirteen gripped the long sword in his hand tightly. Zhou Jin knocked on the door, indicating that he was fine. Shadow Thirteen quietly let the coachman walk past him and lift the curtain of the window.
The moment the coachman met Zhou Jin’s eyes, Zhou Jin suddenly used an illusion. The coachman was stunned. He lowered the curtain and said to the
Third Elder, “A few women.”
Upon hearing that it was a woman, the Third Elder could not say anything else. It was no wonder that the guard was so domineering. He was a man, but he actually wanted to investigate a woman’s carriage. It would indeed be rude if word got out.
Dawa’s heart was in his throat, afraid that the Third Elder would insist on letting the “women” alight to greet him. Fortunately, the Third Elder only asked the coachman to return and planned to leave.
Coincidentally, the Sorcerer King couldn’t help but cough. The Third Elder’s eyebrows twitched. Since there were women in the carriage, why was there a man’s cough?
Nie Huaiyuan’s sorcery power was naturally not weak since he could sit in the position of the Third Elder. He was also a Heaven Realm Great Sorcerer and was slightly inferior to Zhou Jin. Otherwise, Zhou Jin would not have hidden his aura in front of him. However, once a flaw appeared, he could instinctively react.
His coachman was casted by an illusion before he recognized the person in the carriage wrongly!
“Who is it?! Come out quickly!” He shouted angrily, and Dawa’s little heart in the carriage trembled.
“He seems to be the Third Elder,” Shadow Six whispered. He had read the portrait of the Elder Hall after investigating the news. This old man was very similar to the Third Elder in the portrait.
The Third Elder was from the Sorcerer Queen’s faction. Being discovered by him was no different from being discovered by the Sorcerer Queen. Shadow Thirteen pulled out his sword. “Then we can only silence him!”
No one could stop him from taking the Sorcerer King away! The Third Elder’s sorcery was outstanding, and he immediately launched a mental attack on Shadow Thirteen. Zhou Jin’s eyes turned cold, and he blocked his sorcery power.
Shadow Thirteen flew up and stabbed his sword at the Third Elder. No sooner said than done, Dawa jumped down from the carriage and grabbed Shadow Thirteen’s foot. “No—”
The Third Elder broke out in cold sweat as he looked at Dawa, who had suddenly rushed out. He was stunned. “Wen Xu?”
Dava looked at him embarrassedly and turned to Shadow Thirteen. “Don’t kill him! He’s…” Wanrou’s father. Dawa swallowed the words in his mouth and said to Shadow Thirteen, “Tap his acupoints. This way, he can’t inform anyone.” Shadow Thirteen looked at Dawa coldly.
Dawa was very timid, but he did not retreat under Shadow Thirteen’s cold and oppressive gaze. Shadow Six used his qinggong and flashed in front of the Third Elder. He tapped his and the coachman’s acupoints. “In six hours, the acupoints will automatically be unlocked.”
Shadow Thirteen looked at Shadow Six, who had already made his choice, and retracted the sword in his hand expressionlessly. The group returned to the carriage and retreated out of the alley. Then, they chose another path to return to the Wen Manor.
Yu Wan had already packed most of her luggage. With so many of them, the goal was still too big. After Yu Wan discussed with Yan Jiuchao, she persuaded Yu Shaoqing to leave the city with Madam Jiang and the three little black eggs.
“When the Sorcerer Queen finds out later, she will definitely lock down the city gate. I’m worried that we won’t be able to leave.” Yu Wan put the last piece of luggage into a box.
According to Yan Jiuchao, he wanted her to leave too, but Yu Wan insisted on staying. She wanted to advance and retreat with Yan Jiuchao.
Moreover, the bead that Imperial Secretary Wei had given her had been broken when she was fighting against the Martial Rakshasa. The aura of the Sacred Clan on her body was intermittent. If she was stopped when she left the city with Dad, Mom, and her sons, they would be completely exposed.
The Sorcerer King fell asleep halfway. This was not a bad thing. If he woke up, he would probably be unwilling to leave the Sorcerer Clan.
Yu Wan patted Zhou Jin’s little head. “I’ve already packed your things. Go back to your room and see if there’s anything else you want to bring.” Zhou Jin said, “There’s no need. It’s fine as long as he’s around.”
Yu Wan nodded in relief. Such obedient children were really sensible.
Yu Wan looked at the door. “Old Cui, are you dome?”
“Alright, alright! We’re only short of a few herbs!” Old Cui hurriedly replied.
“I’ll go help.” Yu Wan went to Old Cui’s room.
Zhou Yuyan had packed Shadow Six’s things. Shadow Thirteen’s was helped by
Pinger. Ping’er did not help Dawa pack because—
Dawa pushed open the door and entered. He saw a familiar figure folding his clothes. He was stunned. “Why are you here?”
“Aren’t you leaving?” The Second Madam held the half-folded clothes and turned around to smile at him.
“Ah… I… that…” Dawa’s eyes flashed and he said guiltily,” They’re leaving. I’m… just sending them off.”
“Yes, Second Master is just sending them off. It’s not that you won’t be coming back.” The Second Madam lowered her eyes and muttered a few times. She folded the clothes and said, “Second Master won’t stay outside for too long, right? I didn’t pack much.”
“No… not long. I’ll be back in a few days,” Dawa said guiltily, not daring to look at her at all.
The Second Madam silently packed her things. When she turned around, she saw that Dawa had his head lowered and did not say anything. He seemed to be a little depressed. She smiled and asked, “What’s wrong, Second Master?” “Nothing,” Dawa said in a choked voice. He turned around and wiped his reddened eyes. He couldn’t bear to…
But he couldn’t say it…
The Second Madam tied her bag and gently walked towards him. Dawa sat on a chair. She stopped in front of him and paused. She reached out and hugged him. “Second Master, remember to miss me.”
“Yes!” Dawa held back his tears and nodded in a choked voice.
The Second Madam smiled gently. “It’s getting late. Take my carriage. My carriage is fast.” Her carriage was not fast, but no one would dare to investigate.
Dawa reached out, wanting to hug her. The Second Madam paused, as if waiting for something. However, it did not arrive. Dawa stood up with restraint and lowered his reddened eyes. “I’ll go call them.”
The Second Madam smiled bitterly. “Okay.”
The Second Madam used three carriages. Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao, Zhou Jin, the
Sorcerer King, and Shadow Thirteen used one carriage. Old Cui, Ping’er, Grandma, and Shadow Six used one. Zhou Yuyan, Mu Qing, Dawa, and the Second Madam used one.
“Second Madam, where are you going?” When she left the Wen Manor, a pageboy stopped her.
The Second Madam lifted the curtain and said gently, “I’m going back to my maiden home. These are all gifts I’ve prepared for my maiden home.” The pageboy smiled politely and moved to the side. “Ah, then please.”
The group left the Wen Manor unimpeded. In the carriage, no one said anything.
Dawa hoped that they would walk faster so that the Sorcerer Queen’s people would not be able to catch up to them in time. However, Dawa also hoped that this path would be longer so that he could take a few more glances at her..
