Zhi Chen never expected the young girl to say such things, and looked at her dumbfounded.

Finally, under Ye Zhi’s earnest persuasion, the person agreed to break out of prison.

When the two came out, it was pitch black and silent outside. Only two soldiers walked by slowly and were knocked out swiftly and silently.

Although the man had been tortured, he only suffered superficial wounds, not touching the bones, and could still use Qinggong.

The two flew one after the other towards the inconspicuous and shabby Bright Moon Inn.

At the same time, a large group of people from the Investigation Factory silently followed behind them.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ye Zhi, leading the injured Monk Zhi Chen, sneaked into Room Two of the Sky at the Bright Moon Inn. Ming Yan paced back and forth in the room, waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the master injured, tears silently streamed down her cheeks, and she cried silently, her eyes blurred with tears as she urgently searched for medicine.

"We’ve rescued someone, we must leave immediately. If any anomaly occurs in the prison, the Investigation Factory will definitely launch a large-scale search. I’ll pack up now and secretly return to Xinghua Village to lay low." After speaking, Ye Zhi hurriedly gathered her belongings.

Ming Yan, unable to search for medicine, helped to pack up, comforting the monk with a choked voice: "Master, Xinghua Village is out of worldly affairs, with simple and honest folk customs. It will certainly be safe for you there. I won’t let you die; we’ll be safe once we leave the city." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

For a moment, they were in a flurry of motion.

Zhi Chen said nothing. After his parents’ death, for the first time, he felt a sense of security, which actually came from these two women.

Outside the inn, they were already heavily surrounded. Dozens of Investigation Riders, uniformly dressed in Flying Fish Robes, with black hats and belts adorned with Yanyue Blades, exuded a piercing cold light.

The leader was Qin Yin, standing at the forefront, with Peng Ran and Guo Hao flanking him.

The Investigation Riders present were like a murderously sharp blade, just waiting to see blood again.

As Ye Zhi and the others were exiting to the backyard of the Bright Moon Inn, they faced the Investigation Riders exuding a piercing cold light. Led by their nemesis Qin Yin, they were startled and quickly retreated.

Back in the room.

Ye Zhi spoke bitterly: "I knew breaking out of prison wouldn’t be so simple. It was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. What do we do now?" Her large, deer-like eyes darted beneath the black veil, pondering the most perfect plan.

In "Concubine’s Favor," it is recorded that the Investigation Riders are highly skilled and ruthless. Once they act, it is as if they are courting death. The Yanyue Blade is incredibly sharp, a major weapon of the Investigation Riders.

What do we do...

She absolutely cannot expose her identity. The third lady of the Minister’s Mansion breaking a political prisoner’s escape would implicate the entire Minister’s Mansion. Xiao Ah Che is still so young, nothing must happen to him, or to her parents, her brother and sister-in-law...

Ming Yan, understanding this truth, was also dressed in black, with a face mask: "Young Master, what do we do?" She addressed him as Young Master to avoid exposing the young lady’s identity, avoiding implicating the entire Minister’s Mansion.

Zhi Chen spoke calmly: "This matter started because of me. Perhaps my fate is already sealed. I will surrender myself, and you seize the opportunity to leave." With that, he headed towards the door. Ming Yan’s eyes instantly filled with tears again, and she stood frozen, speechless.

Ye Zhi hurriedly grabbed the monk, preventing him from leaving: "Don’t act rashly. The only solution now is for me to break through the encirclement. Master, take this opportunity to leave with Ming Yan. Don’t worry about me. My master is the Lingbo Fairy, with unparalleled Qinggong skills. No one’s Qinggong here is faster than mine, and I’ll have a way to leave by then."

She wasn’t confident, but there was no other way. She couldn’t bear to see Ming Yan and Zhi Chen die before her eyes.
