Chapter 979: Actually, I Need to Return This

Did he think it had been easy for her to find a corpse that had dimensions similar to him? Yet he was actually showing disdain for the corpse.

“Then Master, what should this subordinate do?” asked Ning Shu with a blank expression.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu indifferently. “Put the corpse back in the sack. Why should this prince escape by feigning death?”

So Ning Shu had no choice but to put the corpse back into the sack. As she looked at the corpse’s ashen face, she silently prayed, Amitabha Buddha.

Xuan Hongyu walked to the candles and picked one up to light a curtain.

When Ning Shu saw, she hastily tossed the corpse into the tunnel, then jumped into the tunnel. Xuan Hongyu jumped down as well and moved the slab back over the opening.

The tunnel became completely dark. Ning Shu pulled out her portable torch and lifted the sack back on her shoulder. She said to Xuan Hongyu, “Master, follow me.”

Xuan Hongyu made a sound of affirmation.

They didn’t speak the entire way. Ning Shu was about to die from exhaustion due to having to lug a man’s corpse.

Her original intention was to find a corpse to take Xuan Hongyu’s place so that people would think Xuan Hongyu had been burned to death. Even if after inspection, they figured out that the corpse didn’t belong to Xuan Hongyu, by that time, they would’ve already been able to get far away.

However, Xuan Hongyu was too proud to use this method. He rather make the question of whether he was alive or not become a mystery.

Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. You freakin’ already lost everything. So what if the question of whether or not you were alive became a mystery? Whether you were dead or not, the situation would still be the same!

After getting out of the tunnel, she gave a long sigh in relief, then leaped onto a roof. She saw that flames had reached the sky in the direction of the imperial palace. The flames were very strong and illuminated half the sky.

A fire had broken out in the imperial palace, so the entire capital was in an uproar.

Ning Shu lifted the sack back on her shoulder in preparation to make a trip.

“Where are you going?” Xuan Hongyu was standing in the middle of the old room. There was dust and cobwebs all around, but he still looked magnificent as always and seemed to illuminate the entire room.

Ning Shu said, “This subordinate is going to put this corpse back in the funeral house.” She had stolen this from the funeral house.

Xuan Hongyu was expressionless, so Ning Shu jumped over the wall with the corpse and left. When she got back, she saw that Xuan Hongyu was sitting on the chair and propping up his chin as he looked at the leaping flame of the lamp.

When he saw that Ning Shu had returned, he said coldly, “When are we leaving? There will definitely be a lot of guards tomorrow.”

“Master, the city gates have already closed, so we have no choice but to leave tomorrow morning,” said Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu didn’t say anything. When he saw that Ning Shu was standing there without moving, he said, “This prince will be resting now.”

He meant for her to withdraw? Ning Shu turned and left.

“Eleven, where is this prince supposed to sleep?” Xuan Hongyu was a little confounded. When Ning Shu walked in, she realized that there really wasn’t a place to rest. It was filthy all around, so she said, “Master, it’ll be morning very soon. Just endure it a little and don’t sleep.”

Xuan Hongyu’s expression was cold, but he was silent.

“Master, when we leave the city, we definitely have to disguise ourselves. Someone as charming as you will definitely be recognized.”

Xuan Hongyu still didn’t speak.

So Ning Shu went all out on Xuan Hongyu’s face. His originally lofty eyebrows now became sloping eyebrows, and his facial color became yellow and sallow with the help of medicinal powder. The last part was Xuan Hongyu’s brocade clothing. It seriously attracted attention too much.

Ning Shu found a coarse cotton outfit for Xuan Hongyu to change into. Xuan Hongyu glanced at the plain outfit, then looked at Ning Shu silently.

Ning Shu said with a stern and earnest expression, “Master, this is all for the sake of getting out of the city. Please bear with it.”
