The expected pain didn’t come.
An invisible arcane power caught him from below.
Gu Xiaonan opened his eyes and saw Feng Yuanxi standing under the eaves.
“Yuanxi! Why are you here?”
“I’m looking for you.” Feng Yuanxi furrowed his brows and glanced into the distance. “Let’s leave this place first and talk.”
“Alright!”
Gu Xiaonan landed steadily on his feet and followed behind Feng Yuanxi as they ran.
“Where are you going?” Gu Xiaonan noticed that he seemed to have a clear destination in mind.
“Leaving the Fifth Prince’s residence. I’ve already rescued Sister Qianxi. I came back to find you.”
Gu Xiaonan explained, “We can’t leave yet. I have to go save a group of lovely sisters.”
Feng Yuanxi looked at him in confusion.
“It’s a long story. Those people were captured by the ugly prince! I promised them to steal the key and save them. Xiao Bai is guarding there.”
Feng Yuanxi asked, “Do you know the way?”
Gu Xiaonan nodded.
This time he specifically remembered the route.
So, Feng Yuanxi followed him.
The two worked together to elude the guards.
With some surprises but no real danger along the way, they finally returned to the secluded and deserted courtyard.
“Squeak!”
Upon seeing Gu Xiaonan, Xiao Bai’s alert eyes turned into excitement.
“Xiao Bai! I’m back! No bad people came in, right?”
Xiaobai shook his head.
“That’s good then.”
Gu Xiaonan picked up Xiao Bai and headed into the house.
Feng Yuanxi followed, considering the commotion outside. He asked, “Did you kill the Fifth Prince?”
Gu Xiaonan pouted unhappily. “No! He found out. He had a lot of guards around him. I didn’t have time to kill him, so I just threw some of the poison I usually make into his room. He got lucky.”
Xiao Bai in his arms was sweating.
He got lucky?
The poison that the young master concocted was unparalleled in the world.
Over the years, its young master had forced it to test the poison, an experience that was unquestionably more agonizing than death itself.
Fortunately, after each poison test, the young master provided the antidote.
This time, the young master casually grabbed a handful of poison without knowing what kinds of poison were present.
The Fifth Prince might lack the antidote that the young master provided. If he were fortunate and hadn’t consumed a lethal poison, there could be a chance of survival through medical intervention. However, if he happened to have ingested a fatal poison, the Fifth Prince’s life would be in jeopardy.
In its heart, Xiao Bai lit a row of candles for the Fifth Prince.
“What a pity!”
Gu Xiaonan let out a gentle sigh, “Absolutely true! It’s unfair to those who are kind-hearted for such a villainous person to continue living even a moment longer.”
Inside the secret chamber, the women heard Gu Xiaonan’s voice and turned their heads.
They were surprised to see another boy about his size by his side.
Today was truly unusual. How many children did the Fifth Prince captured?
“Xiaonan, did you find the key?” Hong Yao asked.
“Found it!” Gu Xiaonan held up the key, shook it, and signaled them to see.
The women’s faces lit up with joy.
“You really found it! That’s great! We can finally leave this cursed place and no longer endure inhuman torture.”
Many of the girls shed tears of joy.
Some of them remained calm.
Escape?
They had indeed tried to escape before.
They had even tried every possible way to get someone to come and rescue them.
But in the end, all their attempts had failed.
The Fifth Prince’s mansion was heavily guarded. Even if they managed to overcome the effects of the poison, it would still take time for them to regain their combat strength. Engaging the guards outside would still put them at a disadvantage.
Gu Xiaonan hadn’t thought that far ahead.
His first priority was to get them out. As for how to escape with them, he believed they could cross that bridge when they came to it.
After unlocking all the doors, those who could walk came out on their own, while those who couldn’t were assisted by others.
Feng Yuanxi said, “I’ll go outside and scout.”
“Alright!”
Feng Yuanxi returned to the upper room and lay on the roof to survey.
Every now and then, a group of guards passed by underneath.
After a while, he returned with a furrowed brow.
Just as Gu Xiaonan and the others were coming out of the secret chamber.
“The area outside is heavily patrolled by guards. If it were just the two of us, we could navigate around them without much trouble. However, with this many people now… our presence would be too conspicuous..”
