Chapter 363: Jiaojiao, can you Stay?

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao’s eyes turned cold. If it weren’t for her space, they would undoubtedly have died today. This showed that the person behind them was ruthless and cunning. It would be best if these guys didn’t fall into her hands.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Lu Jiao took Xie Yunjin into her

space.

Inside the space, the spiritual energy was abundant, and it was bright as daylight. Lu Jiao brought Xie Yunjin to the bed in the bamboo house.

To prevent Xie Yunjin from waking up, Lu Jiao administered a sedative needle, putting him into a deep sleep.

She immediately started to remove the arrow and bandage his wound.

Inside the space, Lu Jiao busily attended to Xie Yunjin’s wound. Outside, chaos had broken out on Black Wind Mountain.

The Second Born watched as his parents disappeared into the secret passage and burst into tears out of fear.

Ruan Zhu, seeing that her master had disappeared, became like a killing god, launching a full-scale attack.

Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong also fought against the black-clad men.

The black-clad men, seeing Xie Yunjin and his wife fall into the secret passage, did not linger and quickly retreated.

Although some were killed, most of them managed to escape.

Li Nantian instructed Zhou Shaogong to immediately return to Qinghe County and report everything to Magistrate Hu. Meanwhile, he took Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu to search the mountain, hoping to find the switch to the secret room and rescue Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao.

Magistrate Hu received the report and immediately notified Grand Commander Xu and Officer Zhao. After discussing, the three of them brought their household servants and did not bring the constables from the county office.

The constables had all been bribed, and if they went into the mountain, who knows what mischief they would cause?

Ultimately, Magistrate Hu, Grand Commander Xu, Officer Zhao, and the others were accompanied by servants from their respective homes.

The Zhao family and Han family also received the news and each brought a group of people to Black Wind Mountain to assist in the search.

Zhao Lingfeng, upon hearing that Lu Jiao had gone missing, was more anxious than anyone else. Their three workshops were almost completed, but if something happened to Lu Jiao, what would happen to his workshops? His money!

On Black Wind Mountain, everyone searched the mountain frantically, looking for the switch mechanism.

Inside the secret passage, Lu Jiao saw that the time was almost up and quickly brought Xie Yunjin out of the space and into the passage.

Although the passage was not as dark as before, it was still dim. Lu Jiao took a

while to adjust to the lighting in the passage.

At this moment, Xie Yunjin woke up. He opened his eyes and saw the person beside him. Then, he recalled what Lu Jiao had said before he lost consciousness.

Xie Yunjin doubted if it was just his illusion, so he instinctively reached out and held Lu Jiao’s hand.

“Lu Jiao, I remember you promised me to give us a year and a half to be together. You won’t deny it, right?”

Lu Jiao turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin. Did he really not trust her? Was she someone who couldn’t keep her word?

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who doesn’t keep her word?”

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Yunjin with a serious expression. “Xie Yunjin, the words I said are binding. Let’s give each other a chance to get to know each other and see if we are compatible. You should know that I am not from this era. My thoughts, beliefs, and way of doing things are different from the women of this time. I don’t know to what extent you can accept someone like me, who is different from the women of this era.’

Lu Jiao hadn’t finished speaking when Xie Yunjin interrupted, “I can.”

Lu Jiao smiled and stopped him, “Alright, let’s wait and see how we get along first.

She had given herself and him a year and a half to spend together, not only because Xie Yunjin had a predestined wife in the book, but also because they needed to see if they were compatible. After all, there were many differences between them.

She didn’t want to end up doing something that Xie Yuniin couldn’t accept.

Instead of causing conflicts later on, it would be better if they didn’t have any intersection from the beginning.

Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao’s words and knew that she always kept her promises.

Although he wished she would immediately agree to stay with him, he was already content with the fact that she could give them a year and a half. This time would be enough for them to understand each other and for each other to accept themselves.

“Okay, let’s do as you say, Jiaojiao.”

Xie Yunjin naturally called her Jiaojiao, which made Lu Jiao feel a bit shy. She felt that these words carried a lot of affection, making her feel embarrassed.

Lu Jiao turned her head uncomfortably and said, “We are still in the secret passage. The other side released poisonous smoke inside before, but I already detoxified you. The smoke has dispersed now, so it won’t pose a big threat to us. Let’s explore this place and find out what it is. The people above must be in chaos, unable to find us. If our children find out that we are missing, they will be worried sick. Let’s find a way to get out quickly.”

Lu Jiao didn’t mention the matter of her space at this moment. If she really ended up being with Xie Yunjin in the future, she could tell him then. If they didn’t end up together, there would be no need to mention it.

Xie Yunjin immediately nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

As he spoke, he naturally reached out and supported Lu Jiao’s arm to stand up.

Lu Jiao held onto him, and the two of them walked along the secret passage.

“This place was probably dug out by bandits occupying the mountains and forests. I don’t know how the people from the four major families found out about it and used it against us.”

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Xie Yunjin added, “Once we get out, we will immediately send people to seize the Yang and Peng families’ silver and capture those two individuals.

I believe the four major families behind them, as well as the merchants in

Qinghe County, won’t dare to make any further moves.”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes turned cold, and a chilling aura surrounded him. He would definitely eliminate these pests.

Lu Jiao nodded, and the two of them walked for a while in the secret passage. They discovered that there were three forked paths ahead, which made them pause and hesitate to proceed.

“Without any surprises, two of these paths should be trap-filled secret passages, and only one is the correct way,” Lu Jiao said, about to suggest that she go in and explore. If she found anything suspicious, she could immediately retreat into her space to hide, allowing them to find the real secret passage.

However, she didn’t have a chance to speak as Xie Yunjin walked to the front of the three secret passages and observed. Soon, he pointed to the leftmost one and said, “This path should be the normal one, while the other two are trap-filled secret passages.”

Lu Jiao walked over to carefully observe and found that the path on the left had compacted son, Indicating regular usage, willie the soil m the other two secret passages was loose.

Xie Yunjin spoke, “Since those people used the secret passage to release poisonous smoke, it means they are familiar with this underground passage. They might have walked through it before, and the soil on the path they walked on is completely different from the untouched ones.”

Lu Jiao praised with a smile, “Xie Yunjin, you’re really amazing.”

Upon hearing Lu Jiao’s words, Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but feel happy. However, Lu Jiao called him by his full name, making it seem formal. Xie Yunjin couldn’t resist objecting.

“Jiaojiao, I call you Jiaojiao, and it wouldn’t hurt to call me Yunjin instead of always calling me Xie Yunjin. You can also call me husband if you want..”
