There was a lot of noise in the hall in front of them, and more than a dozen disciples rushed out of it.
One of the leading disciples yelled: "Who are you? You dare to come to Luoxia Residential Hall and act wild. I think you are tired of living! Come on, arrest me!"
Lin Dongjiu glanced at Su Ruxue, and just as he was about to take action, he heard another curse:
"Stop it! You bunch of short-sighted bastards!"
I saw a middle-aged man running out of the hall, came to Su Ruxue, and said with a flattering smile:
"I didn't know that Miss is coming here. I hope you will forgive me for not being well prepared. They are all new disciples of the sect. They have never even been to the sect, let alone recognized you. You must not be like them.
Calculate."
After saying that, the middle-aged man glanced at them: "Quickly retreat!"
Su Ruxue glanced at him and said, "Who are you?"
"The younger one's name is Cui Shi. He was originally an outer disciple of the sect. When he got older, he was sent by the sect to Blackwater City as the consul in charge of the sect's affairs in Heishui City."
Su Ruxue nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "Take us to the dungeon!"
"Ah?" Cui Shi was stunned, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
Su Ruxue frowned and ordered: "Why are you still standing there? Take us to the dungeon!"
Cui Shi said with a smile on his face: "That dungeon is dirty and smelly. What kind of status does the young lady have, how can she go to a place like that?"
"Stay back and we'll go by ourselves."
Su Ruxue gave him a cold look and walked inside.
"this..."
Cui Shi hurriedly stopped him, bowed and said:
"Miss, the people locked inside are all extremely vicious villains. If something happens to the lady, I will be the one to blame!"
Su Ruxue, with a face as frosty as ice, asked in a cold voice:
"Are you deliberately trying to stop me? Or is there some hidden secret hidden in the dungeon?"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Cui Shi lowered his head deeply, cold sweat broke out on his back. Seeing the obstruction, he rolled his eyes and said, "Miss, stay!"
"The suspects captured by Master Duan are locked up in the dungeon. Master Duan has an order that no one is allowed to approach the dungeon!"
"What a good...Master Duan!"
There was anger hidden in Su Ruxue's eyebrows:
"When did the Luoxia Sect's residence become Duan Han's official residence? Wherever I want to go, let's see who dares to stop me!"
"Miss! Miss..."
As the eldest lady of the sect, how could Su Ruxue, a small steward like him, be able to stop her? Moreover, the cultivation level of these disciples stationed abroad could not be compared with that of the disciples within the sect, and they could not stop her even if they wanted to.
Although Cui Shi was also a dog raised by Duan Han, he was much smarter than Tong Batian and Wu Yong, who were still young.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. Cui Shi is well aware of the stakes. He watched Su Ruxue and Lin Dongjiu enter with a gloomy expression on his face. He summoned a disciple and whispered:
"Go and find Master Duan, hurry up!"
...
There was no need to lead the way, Lin Dongjiu had already figured out the route with his spiritual consciousness, and took Su Ruxue straight to the dungeon.
Having Su Ruxue here really saved him a lot of trouble, otherwise a fight would have been inevitable on this trip and the situation would have developed in an unpredictable direction.
When he arrived at the dungeon, although he had seen Ye Tian's miserable state, Lin Dongjiu was still furious. He took out his green light sword and cut off the lock of the prison, then went in and let Ye Tian down.
"Brother Dongjiu..."
Ye Tian's eyes were distracted and he forced himself to open his eyes. When he saw Lin Dongjiu, he couldn't help but fainted.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ye, I'm late..."
Lin Dongjiu treated his wounds and gave him some detoxifying pills and some healing pills specially made for him.
"Without further ado, let's go!"
Just as he was about to help Ye Tian up, he heard a gentle voice outside the cell door:
"Since you're here, stay a little longer. Why leave in such a hurry."
Lin Dongjiu and Su Ruxue looked outside at the same time, and saw Duan Han walking towards them with a smile on his face.
When Su Ruxue saw Duan Han, her breathing became rapid. She subconsciously grabbed Lin Dongjiu's sleeves and squeezed them tightly.
Duan Han glanced at Su Ruxue, then put his hands behind his back, Feng Qingyun said calmly:
"Junior brother Lin, you are well. I was just looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come here in person... and you brought my junior sister with you, haha!"
Before Lin Dongjiu could speak, Su Ruxue said in disgust: "Who is your junior sister! Do we have anything to do with each other?"
Duan Han had a flash of resentment in his eyes, but he concealed it very well. He just raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully:
"It's senior brother's fault. You are obviously my fiancée."
"Duan Han, are you still shameless! When did I admit that I am your fiancée!"
Yan Ruxue's eyes were red with anger, and her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
Duan Han was neither angry nor annoyed, and said leisurely: "Junior sister, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Senior brother doesn't blame you. Anyway, the sect master has promised to marry you to me. I will wait until the day you admit it personally."
"You...you bastard!"
Su Ruxue bit her lip so hard that even a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She took out her sword, as if she was going to fight Duan Han desperately.
No wonder Su Ruxue hates Duan Han so much... Lin Dongjiu was thoughtful, he pulled Su Ruxue and frowned:
"Duan Han, it's really sad that Su Ruxue has a senior brother like you. You still want Su Ruxue to marry you. I really don't know if you are being sentimental? Or..."
Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows: "For what?"
Duan Han's expression changed, and the veins on his forehead popped out:
"Lin Dongjiu, you broke into the dungeon secretly, robbed and rescued the suspect, and you dared to talk nonsense, look at me if I don't eliminate harm for the sect today!"
"What does Duan Han want you to do!"
Su Ruxue stretched out her arms to block Lin Dongjiu, glared at Duan Han and said:
"I broke into the prison, and I rescued the person. If you have any questions, let's go to the sect leader to discuss it. Let's see if I can't save the person, or if you can arrest the person privately!"
Duan Han's face was ashen. He did not expect that the relationship between Su Ruxue and Lin Dongjiu had become so close, and murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
He suddenly laughed, and his smile was ferocious:
"Okay, very good! Lin Dongjiu, I underestimated you, your methods really impressed me.
Maybe I arrested the wrong person. Those missing disciples were killed by the Demon Palace and have nothing to do with your friend.
You should understand what I mean, right? The relationship between us needs a balance, right?"
Lin Dongjiu looked at him deeply, then he carried Ye Tian on his back and said to Su Ruxue, "Let's go!"
Su Ruxue stood by Lin Dongjiu's side, staring closely at Duan Han until he left the dungeon.
Duan Han clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the two people's retreating figures, took a deep breath, and said with an intoxicated look on his face:
"Ah...what a wonderful balance! What a pity..."
"What a pity. If you dare to touch the person I want, you will have to pay the price!"
...
On the way back to the clan, Su Ruxue asked: "What did Duan Han mean by what he said to you last time? Why did he let us go so suddenly?"
Lin Dongjiu thought for a while and said ambiguously:
"He is wary of my methods. He may want to get some benefits from me by arresting my friends, or he may want to test out what my methods are.
It's thanks to you that we can leave. If you hadn't come with me today, he wouldn't have let me go so easily. As for the balance he said, well, it's just a warning."
Su Ruxue hummed softly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand! I always feel that there are some ulterior secrets between you and him!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "It's strange that you are so stupid to understand. The grudge between Duan Han and I is by no means as simple as you think, but you and Duan Han... what is the situation?"
Su Ruxue's face darkened when she heard this, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became weird.
Lin Dongjiu realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and was about to change the subject when he heard Su Ruxue say quietly:
"Three years ago, my father said that he would betroth me to Duan Han, but at that time I only regarded him as my senior brother. Because of this matter, my father and I had many quarrels. Until now, I still live in Chiqing.
peak."
Su Ruxue suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Dongjiu, with a strange light shining in her eyes:
"Xiao Lin, the grudge between Duan Han and I is by no means as simple as you think..."
"Yeah...I know."
Lin Dongjiu nodded, and he could understand simply by thinking about it. Su Ruxue's father arranged a marriage for her, and no matter how much she hated her, she should hate her father.
But her hatred for Duan Han is definitely not as simple as Duan Han going around claiming that Su Ruxue is his fiancée.
However, Su Ruxue didn't say what the specific reason was, and Lin Dongjiu couldn't ask.
"If I have a chance to tell you in the future, you should tell me too!"
The light in Su Ruxue's eyes scattered into petals rippling in the air, and the upward curve of the corners of her mouth embedded two wine dimples, filled with tenderness brewed for him alone.
"good..."
Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but was stunned. In his impression, Su Ruxue didn't seem to smile much. Whether he was playing with her or deliberately teasing her, this was the first time he saw Su Ruxue smiling so happily.
Her smile was not as gentle and watery as Ling'er's, like a spring breeze, but warm and sincere, with a touch of her unique pride mixed into it.
"Look...what are you looking at! Is there something on my face?"
Su Ruxue's face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Lin Dongjiu.
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Lin Dongjiu noticed his gaffe, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and secretly cursed himself for being useless.
Neither of them spoke anymore, they just kept their heads down and hurried on, but neither of them noticed that the sand and stones under their feet began to tremble, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
Lin Dongjiu felt a palpitation in his heart as he walked. His spiritual sensitivity was far higher than that of ordinary people, but he didn't know where this feeling came from. He looked around and saw no one around him.
He was still wondering, thinking he was being overly concerned, but suddenly he heard a muffled sound coming from under his feet. He secretly screamed "No", and quickly wanted to activate the Phantom Flash to leap up.
However, it was too late and too fast. Before Lin Dongjiu could react, he saw sand and stones flying everywhere where he stepped, dust flying, and a figure jumping out from the ground, hitting Lin Dongjiu.
"puff!!"
Lin Dongjiu flew directly backwards, and Ye Tian, who was carrying him, was also thrown heavily to the ground. He spit out a mouthful of blood and felt the blood surge in his body. He didn't know how many ribs in his chest were broken.
"Xiao Lin!!"
Following Su Ruxue's exclamation, four more figures emerged from the ground where they were. These people were all masked in black, and their exposed eyes were full of murderous intent. They surrounded Lin Dongjiu and the two of them.
