Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 341 - 273: Liuli’s Despair, The Third Trait! Tainted Garment Fate, Nine Types of Tainted Garment_2

Chapter 341: Chapter 273: Liuli’s Despair, The Third Trait! Tainted Garment Fate, Nine Types of Tainted Garment_2

Nangong Liuli lowered her eyebrows with a slight frown. Second Realm fears water, a common knowledge. Third Realm Martial Artist’s blood can alleviate the process of "purity ascending and impurity descending". The backgrounds of Nangong Liuli and Bian Qiaoqiao are extraordinary, and before venturing into Jianghu, their elders offered blood soup. The two women drank it, which eased the fear of water.

But wading through water is ultimately dangerous.

She blinked her eyes. Meaning both afraid and not afraid.

Li Xian thought, descendants of great clans and sects indeed have exceptional means. However, he was extremely afraid of water and said, "Alright. Don’t rush. In the coming days, I will slowly explain the principles of the mechanisms to you. We will discuss the plan to escape."

Nangong Liuli thought, "If I can’t untie the ropes, even if I understand the principles of the mechanisms, it’s hard to get out of the confinement."

The two engaged in conversation and discussion. Nangong Liuli could only communicate through her eyes, which was extremely inefficient. Yet, Li Xian was very smart, thinking from her perspective, guessing what Nangong Liuli was thinking. He could always respond precisely. Their exchange seemed like a heart-to-heart communication.

Nangong Liuli was initially quite surprised, suspecting Li Xian had mastered martial arts techniques like "telepathy" or "mind-reading". But later realized it was not the case. This conversation had a fleeting feeling of heart and spirit intertwining, bringing an indescribable joy.

Li Xian secretly communicated, "The matter of the ropes... is indeed tricky. The Flower Cage Sect’s binding techniques are considered top-notch. Even if I help untie them, it would take a long time."

"Exposing myself would put me in danger. Ultimately, it’s up to you to try."

Nangong Liuli eagerly hoped she could untie them; she would’ve tried to escape long ago if possible. In her heart, she pleaded, her beautiful eyes full of expectation, pitiful to behold. "Good hero... I’m truly helpless, hoping you’ll provide some advice."

Li Xian contemplated, though willing to save them, he would never risk his life for it. He further wrote, "This set of ropes ties your elbows, wrists, knees, ankles... all vital joints. It binds your hands and feet in a reverse position, wrists connected. To completely untie them is impossible to talk about."

"If you wish to escape. Choose the important ones to untie, making the hands and feet free to move, allowing you to jump and move, then quickly escape off the ship."

"In the coming days, when feeding, I will secretly smear fish blood on your ropes. If you two manage to escape the ship and jump into the lake, the fierce fish will definitely bite. The fish blood’s stench will attract the fish, causing them to bite first, possibly loosening the ropes. But the danger is great, whether it will succeed... I cannot be certain."

"Moreover, with this method... only one of you can escape. Because time is tight and you are nearly incapable of resisting. If caught, all is lost."

Li Xian found it difficult to protect himself. All he could do was provide assistance as best he could. Whether they could escape depended on Nangong Liuli’s strategy and wisdom.

Nangong Liuli pondered, this young man is truly clever. This plan is an act of desperation, extremely dangerous, but offers a glimmer of hope. And it’s indeed feasible.

But one escapes, the other must also escape, if one hesitates even a little, with hands and feet tied, capture is inevitable.

Nangong Liuli couldn’t help but hesitate greatly. She knew the plan was dangerous but was willing to try. If executed well, it could truly lead to escape. But Bian Qiaoqiao’s thinking is simple. If leaving her behind, she would be helpless and confused, which is daunting.

She understands Bian Qiaoqiao’s character well. If Bian knew of this plan, she would also risk her life to try.

The two women were unable to communicate. Li Xian’s skill in sending signals secretly was of no use to Bian Qiaoqiao, her feet clad in sturdy boots, wrapped tight.

Nangong Liuli sighed softly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to leave the escape opportunity to Bian Qiaoqiao.

"Sister Bian is not yet twenty, very young. I am accustomed to being captured. She, however, always complains, so be it... I’d let her have it."

Li Xian tidied up the food container, re-hung the two women, and then left. Nangong Liuli watched Li Xian’s departing figure, her eyes flickering.

Over the next few days.

Li Xian fed them at noon, using the opportunity to convey the principles of the mechanisms, briefly describing the distribution and changes of narrow paths within the ship. Nangong Liuli, being very smart, remembered them secretly.

The mechanisms within the flower boat contain hidden wonders, changing with the climate and time. The complex variations among them are no less than a set of martial arts.

Li Xian, with Heavy Pupils, saw through hidden secrets. Joined by Wen Caishang in escaping together. Along the way, medicinal meals and feng shui used many miscellaneous studies such as "Five Elements and Eight Trigrams", "Circulation of Heaven and Earth", "the study of stars"...

Though not fully mastered, Wen Caishang’s knowledge was deep and profound, her speech concise and to the point. She cultivated Li Xian as a groom, passing on saturated wisdom.

As Li Xian pondered the ship’s mechanisms, the knowledge and insights Wen Caishang had shared naturally surfaced in his mind. The complex and obscure principles seemed to transform into practical applications, appearing before him. With the characteristics of "Observing Heaven and Earth" and "understanding clearly", the mechanisms and miscellaneous studies seemed to be intuitively understood. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The mechanisms within the ship were complex, with many layouts, concealing the magic of hidden wonders. Ye Cheng had obtained the mechanism map of the ship, studying for years to master it. He never expected Li Xian, relying solely on his vision and various miscellaneous studies... could glimpse a bit of the truth.

In these days of contact. Nangong Liuli was curious about Li Xian’s identity. Engaging in deeper conversation left her extremely shocked.

Li Xian’s speech was concise, never verbose, nor did he show off his knowledge. Nangong Liuli being from a noble family, also enjoyed researching miscellaneous studies. From the slight reveals in conversation, she discerned Li Xian’s knowledge was vast, his talents unmistakable.

His many insights were several steps deeper than her family elders. In fact, Li Xian was indeed smart, but still young, and his understanding hadn’t reached such depths. His knowledge was inherited from Wen Caishang; many principles were merely reiterations.

Nangong Liuli pondered carefully, gradually understanding the ship’s mechanism principles. This place was a trap of "cut off from heaven and earth". But with the alternation within the ship, it was very close to vitality.

The distribution of narrow paths, the layout of mechanisms... gradually formed a contour in her mind. She planned a route, able to avoid detection, and seize the opportunity to escape.
