Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented
Chapter 689: Escape from Mingxin Pavilion
Xin felt that she was being questioned, and she snorted: "Don't underestimate my ability. Give me some time, and I will give you a lively Manrong."
As she said this, she was about to start the treatment. Shiji quickly stopped her: "You should go to the space ring to heal. It's not safe here. Someone may appear at any time."
As he said this, he took Manrong back to the space ring. After laying Manrong flat, Shiji looked at Xin firmly and said, "You definitely can't rely on me, but I believe you can do it. Come on."
Xin ignored his nagging and began to heal Manrong. Shiji was very bored, and when she thought of the exquisite Mingxin Pavilion, her heart started to itch again.
"You should treat her well. Call me when you are cured. I will go outside to check the situation." After saying that, he returned to Mingxin Pavilion.
He looked left and right, recalling their conversation along the way, trying to figure out what Manrong was looking for. But after searching through his memory, he was sure that he had come here without knowing anything.
"Will I be fooled by her like this?" Shiji muttered to herself. But then she thought, Manrong was injured so badly just to fool her, it was obviously not a good deal.
"So what is she looking for?" He guessed that the thing that Man Rong was risking her life to find must be very precious, but after looking around, he didn't see anything that met his expectations.
"I can't think of it. Never mind. I'll know when she wakes up." Then, he began to flip through the books in Mingxin Pavilion out of boredom. As he was reading, he suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep with his head covered by the book.
Xin in the space was still treating Manrong. Manrong's condition was not serious, but it was more difficult to deal with. It took Xin a lot of effort to solve the cause of her coma.
The next step is to wait for her to wake up naturally. As for when she wakes up, it depends on her. After the treatment, Xin plans to report the situation to Shiji.
"You are actually sleeping?!" Xin's voice woke Shiji up.
"Don't make noise." Shiji said in a daze.
When he didn't get up, Xin shouted into his ear, "The guards are coming!"
Shiji, who had a stress reaction to the word "guard", jumped up immediately after hearing it: "Brother, let me explain!"
When he jumped up, he found that there was no one there. He realized that he had been deceived by the letter and touched his nose in embarrassment.
"I said it wasn't me just now, do you believe it?" he asked tentatively.
Xin said jokingly, "Okay, why wouldn't I believe it?"
Shiji could tell she didn't believe it, so she didn't continue the topic, but decisively started the next one: "So what do you want me to do?"
"I just don't like the way you sleep. Is that okay?" Xin said with a smile.
Shiji didn't believe she was such a person: "How is Manrong? Are you cured?"
"Of course. If I take action, ten Manrongs will be no problem at all." Shiji could imagine her smug expression without even looking.
"Yes, you are the best." He smiled helplessly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. How is Manrong?"
"She's fine now. Now she's just waiting to wake up naturally. But I don't think it will be that soon. After all, she has slept for too long and needs some time to recover." After hearing this, Shiji felt relieved and wanted to go into the space to see her.
Finally, Xin stopped him and said, "Let her rest for a while. You stay here for a while. Maybe she will wake up soon."
But Shiji still felt uneasy, and quickly entered the space ring.
As soon as he glanced at Manrong, he heard some noise outside the space.
"It's the guards from before. What are they doing here again?" Shiji lowered his voice unconsciously, forgetting that the people in Mingxin Pavilion couldn't hear him.
"Maybe you fooled them too much just now, and now they realize it."
Shiji was stunned for a moment, then said affirmatively: "I think this must be the reason. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and came in before they came."
Before he could say anything else, he heard the guard coming in speak.
"Boss, he shouldn't come in. He looks honest and doesn't seem like that kind of person." The person who spoke was the guard who had just made excuses for him outside.
"I'm sorry, I let you down, but I am indeed an honest man." Shiji said cheerfully.
On the other side, the leading guard slapped him on the head and said angrily: "What do you know? Can you read faces? The door is unlocked, someone must have come in!"
"That doesn't prove it was him, does it?"
Shiji was quite moved by the guard's attitude in defending him. He didn't expect that he would have a "fan" after just a few words. If it wasn't the wrong timing, he really wanted to go out and hug this brother.
"How do you explain the noise just now, and the open lock? Why are you so stupid?" The leading guard became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He was so smart, how could he have such stupid subordinates.
The guard who had been making excuses suddenly realized: "Yes, it's most likely him. I trust him so much. It's better not to let me see that it's him, otherwise I will..."
Before he could finish, the leading guard couldn't stand it anymore, kicked him and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, search this place thoroughly, and there will be a big reward for anyone who catches a suspicious person!"
When the guards heard this, they became excited and started looking for someone.
Seeing their energy, Shiji couldn't help but shiver.
Should we say they are smart or stupid? They even picked up the book that they had placed on the floor before reading it before going to bed and looked under the floor.
"Don't look very smart." Xin couldn't help but comment.
"That's true, but they searched very carefully. If I was still in Mingxin Pavilion when they came in just now, I might have been found by now. I'm scared just thinking about it."
Xin looked at the man who was saying he was scared with a smile on his face and didn't believe it at all.
"If you say so, I'm looking forward to the scene where you don't hide in here and get caught. I want to see how you fool them then."
Shiji thought about it and felt that if that possibility really existed, the chances of her being able to fool people successfully would be very small. She might even be kicked out of the Rose Empire, and she wouldn't know how to explain it to Manrong.
Thinking of Manrong, he turned his gaze to her again, but the person was still unconscious.
"Did you treat her? Why is she still like this?"
Seeing that Shiji didn't believe him, Xin became a little angry.
"Are you doubting me? I've already told you that she was unconscious for too long. She needs time to recover. She will wake up naturally by then."
"Will this take a long time?"
This time Xin hesitated.
"I can't say for sure. Maybe he'll wake up in a moment, or maybe it'll take a long time."
Shiji sighed and said helplessly: "It all depends on her luck. I hope she can wake up soon, otherwise it will be difficult for me to take action."
The guards of Mingxin Pavilion have searched the entire pavilion but still found no suspicious persons.
"I've already told you he's not that brother's. He looks like an honest man. How could he do such a sneaky thing?" The guard who had just seriously defended Shiji said with a smile.
The leading guard also began to doubt his own judgment.
"But the lock was clearly open. Even if it wasn't him, someone else should have come in. How could there be no one here?"
After raising this question, the guards were speechless. After a while, a faint voice said, "Maybe the person has already escaped?"
Once this possibility came out, others followed suit: “Yes, yes, that might be the case.”
The leading guard also began to believe it.
"Yes, it's been so long, if there's still no movement, it's likely that it ran away."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Since everything is fine, let's leave here first." said the leading guard.
But before he walked out of Mingxin Pavilion, he stopped.
"Wait, you guys stand guard at the door and report any situation immediately."
After saying that, the group left again.
Watching the group of people leave, Shiji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief even though he knew they couldn't see him. However, before he could finish his sigh of relief, he heard rustling sounds coming from the door.
"What is this? They locked the door?" Shiji thought with a headache.
"You still remember to lock the door. I'll have to use my magic to open it later." Xin reminded him at this time, "You heard just now that there are people guarding the door. It will be difficult for you to get out later."
This new discovery gave Shiji even more headaches, and what made him even more headache was that he didn’t know when he could leave here.
"Forget it, I guess I can't get out for a while, so I'll just have to wait until this guy wakes up." Shiji thought helplessly.
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Manrong's fingers twitched slightly.
"Did you see it! It's moving!" Shiji shouted excitedly, like someone who has been walking in the desert for a long time and finally sees water.
"I can see it, calm down." Xin said quickly.
Before Shiji could say anything else, Manrong opened her eyes. As soon as she woke up, she sat up quickly, but soon collapsed to the ground due to her weak body, and immediately prepared for battle.
"Don't get excited, it's me." Shiji saw her vigilance and said quickly.
Seeing that it was Shiji, Manrong relaxed a little, but still looked at him warily.
"Where is this?" Before Manrong fainted after being trapped in the formation, she thought she was finished and was ready to die. But when she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar space. She thought she was captured by Xiaoqing, but unexpectedly, it was Shiji. This realization made her involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is my space. You have been unconscious for a long time, so I can only bring you here for treatment." Shiji explained.
Manrong felt warm in her heart. If it weren't for him, she might not be so safe now.
"Has the formation been broken?" Thinking of that extremely ferocious formation, she couldn't help but shudder.
Shiji paused and said vaguely: "Well...it's solved. It's safe now."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Man Rong didn't ask any more questions. After all, as long as the person was safe, it was good enough.
"Without further delay, let's go to Mingxin Pavilion now." As she said this, she was about to leave.
"Don't be impatient." Shiji stopped her.
Manrong looked at him puzzledly, not knowing why he wanted to stop her.
Shiji explained helplessly: "We are in Mingxin Pavilion now."
"Really?" Manrong said in surprise, not expecting that he could get in here so smoothly.
"Didn't you meet the group of guards near Mingxin Pavilion? Did they let you come over like this?" Manrong asked curiously.
Speaking of the guards, Shiji had a lot to say. He told her in detail how he got in.
"...They have left now, but they locked the door and sent people to guard outside." After listening to Shiji's narration, Manrong frowned. She didn't expect that he had done so much for her. She couldn't help but feel moved.
"Luckily, I have you, otherwise I would be finished. Thank you!" As she said this, she was about to kneel down to Shiji.
Shiji quickly stopped her: "You don't have to be like this. We came here together, and I must protect you. This is my job, don't feel too guilty."
Seeing Shiji say this, Manrong didn't know what to say.
"Then let's leave here first. I'm afraid something might happen if we stay too long." Man Rong suggested.
"Okay." As soon as Shiji finished speaking, the two of them returned to the interior of Mingxin Pavilion again.
Manrong looked around, her eyes filled with nostalgia for this place.
However, Shiji was still worried about the guards outside, fearing that they would notice the noise and rush in to catch them both.
"Don't worry." Manrong seemed to see Shiji's worry and said helplessly, "The sound insulation here is pretty good. As long as the noise is not too loud, people outside won't hear it."
After hearing this, Shiji also breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to be nervous while in there.
He turned his attention back to the interior of Mingxin Pavilion and looked around again. Everything was the same as before.
"I looked around before you woke up, and there didn't seem to be anything valuable. Are you sure what you're looking for is here?" Shiji asked doubtfully.
Manrong smiled and said, "Of course it's here, but it's usually invisible."
Before Shiji could ask why, he saw her running to a corner. He followed Manrong in confusion and saw her stop at a place.
"Is there a secret compartment?" Shiji asked doubtfully.
Man Rong nodded: "That's right, what I want is not here on the surface, but in the secret compartment."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the wall in front of her.
Seeing her say that, Shiji wanted to go up and break the wall. However, Manrong stopped him quickly: "Move aside, it's too noisy and the guards will hear it. Let me do it."
Shiji quickly dodged, and Manrong began to cast a spell. This was the first time she cast a spell seriously in front of Shiji, and Manrong's movements were extremely graceful, and it was pleasing to the eye just to watch.
While Shiji was watching with fascination, he also discovered that Manrong was creating a very complicated magic array, a magic array that dazzled him.
As the magic circle took shape, cracks began to appear on the wall in front of Manrong.
Even though she saw it with her own eyes, Shiji was still extremely shocked.
The wall cracked silently, and he suddenly realized why Manrong didn't let him break the wall.
If he had come to open it himself, the wall would probably have ceased to exist, and the noise would surely have attracted the guards outside.
Seeing him in a daze and silent, Manrong gently patted Shiji.
"What are you thinking about? You didn't respond when I called you." (End of this chapter)
