When Ye Ling'er heard the sound, she looked up in horror, her eyes filled with tears.

Lu Yuan quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, and then whispered: "Miss Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I'm your sister's friend Lu Yuan."

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Ling'er's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear. "Are you really my sister's friend? Will they find you?"

Lu Yuan comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Ling'er. We will definitely rescue you. Your sister and Mo Chen are guarding outside. Now I have to find a way to open the door lock and rescue you."

Ye Ling'er nodded, trying to calm herself down.

Lu Yuan began to think about how to open the door lock. He observed the location of the vent and found that it was at a certain height from the ground. If he jumped directly, it might make a loud noise.

He looked around for a tool he could use and finally found a piece of wire in the corner of the vent.

Lu Yuan took the wire and carefully tried to open the door lock.

After some effort, the door lock was finally opened. He gently pushed the door open and walked down to the ground.

"Miss Ling'er, let's go quickly."

Lu Yuan took Ye Ling'er's hand and prepared to take her away.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Ye Ling'er to hide behind a cabinet.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door.

Lu Yuan nervously held the dagger in his hand, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

The door was pushed open, and a man in black walked in. He looked around, as if looking for something. Lu Yuan held his breath and dared not move.

The man in black walked around the room, found nothing unusual, and prepared to leave.

Just as he turned around, Ye Ling'er accidentally bumped into the cabinet, making a slight sound.

The man in black immediately became alert, turned around and walked towards the cabinet.

Lu Yuan held the dagger tightly, ready to attack when the man in black approached.

The man in black approached the cabinet step by step, and Lu Yuan's heart was in his throat.

Just as the man in black was about to open the cabinet, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"There is an enemy invasion!"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran outside.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Ye Ling'er out of the room.

They returned along the same route and soon found the vent.

Lu Yuan let Ye Ling'er crawl out first, and then he crawled out too.

After Ye Ling'er and Lu Yuan came out, they met up with Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen. When Ye Qianmo saw his sister, he excitedly ran up to her and hugged her tightly.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Ye Qianmo's eyes were full of concern.

Ye Ling'er shook her head: "Sister, I'm fine. Thanks to Lu Yuan and the others."

Mo Chen said: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly."

The four of them quickly walked out of the castle. However, their actions were discovered. The men in black in the castle chased after them.

"Hurry up!" Lu Yuan shouted and quickened the pace of everyone.

They shuttled through the castle, avoiding the pursuit of the men in black.

Along the way, they fought fiercely with the men in black.

Ye Qianmo brandished a sword and fought fiercely with the man in black.

"You bad guys, today I must avenge my sister."

Mo Chen was not to be outdone, and the weapon in his hand flew up and down, repelling the approaching men in black one by one. Lu Yuan protected Ye Ling'er while looking for an escape route.

"This way!"

He led everyone towards a remote passage.

At the end of the passage is an abandoned yard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked like no one had been there for a long time.

Lu Yuan observed the surrounding environment and found that there was a gap in the courtyard wall that led to the outside.

"Let's get out of here."

Lu Yuan said.

The four quickly passed through the gap and escaped from the castle.

They ran in the mountains and forests for a while and finally got rid of the men in black.

Ye Qianmo stopped and looked at Lu Yuan and Mo Chen with gratitude.

"Thank you for saving my sister. I, Ye Qianmo, will always remember this kindness in my heart." Ye Qianmo said.

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "We are all friends, no need to be so polite. We are not completely safe yet, we need to leave here as soon as possible."

Mo Chen also said: "That's right, the Palace Master and the others will definitely not give up. We need to find a safe place."

Ye Ling'er said: "Sister, where are we going?"

Ye Qianmo thought for a while and said: "Let's find a secluded place and hide first. We can make plans after the storm has passed."

The four continued to move forward, looking for a safe hiding place in the mountains and forests.

After walking for a long time, they finally found a cave, which was hidden in a dense forest and was not easy to be found.

They walked into the cave, which was quite spacious. Ye Qianmo found some hay, spread it on the ground, and asked his sister to sit down and rest.

"Sister, you have suffered." Ye Qianmo said with heartache.

Ye Ling'er shook her head: "Sister, I'm fine. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Lu Yuan and Mo Chen also sat down and discussed the next plan.

Lu Yuan said: "The Palace Master and his men will definitely continue to look for us. We must find a way to improve our own strength so that we can better deal with their threats."

Mo Chen nodded in agreement. "We can find a quiet place and practice well. When our strength increases, we can seek revenge on the Palace Master and his men."

Ye Qianmo said: "Okay, it's decided. Let's rest here for a while and then set off."

The four of them rested in the cave for one night. The next morning, the sun shone through the leaves at the entrance of the cave, bringing a touch of warmth. Ye Qianmo woke up early and began to prepare some simple food for his sister. Lu Yuan and Mo Chen also got up and began to discuss the next plan.

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

Ever since she rescued Ye Ling'er, some of her actions seemed a little strange.

She seemed too calm about her surroundings, without the panic and joy of having just been rescued.

Moreover, there would occasionally be an elusive gleam in her eyes.

Lu Yuan quietly pulled Mo Chen over and whispered, "I always feel that there is something wrong with Ye Ling'er."

Mo Chen frowned: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think she's too quiet? Logically, after going through so much, she should have a lot to say, or show more emotional fluctuations. But she has been very silent, as if she is hiding something."

Mo Chen pondered for a moment: "Maybe she was just frightened and hasn't recovered yet."

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No, I always feel that things are not that simple. We have to observe her carefully."

At this time, Ye Qianmo came over and asked: "What are you talking about?" (End of this chapter)
