You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?
Chapter 72: 29. The granddaughter of the Sixteenth Prince_2
"Commander Baili."
The old man, Gu Jingrong, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it my all, but I'm concerned about His Highness. What if he gets caught in the crossfire if I go all out?"
Baili Fengzhi frowned and remained silent.
After a while, she finally spoke, "Since we didn't succeed this time, it will be more difficult next time, and it will also take longer to relocate and prepare to rescue His Highness."
"Please rest assured, Commander Baili."
The young man, Pei Bin, said, "With the Bitter Sea Scholarly Boat's barrier enveloping all of Qingdu, nothing can escape, not even by air or ground. Sooner or later, we will rescue His Highness."
Baili Fengzhi glanced at the two of them and, without saying more, turned and led her people away.
After they were far away, the deputy general, Chu, caught up and said, "Sir, it seemed like His Highness was really protecting that female assassin just now. Why is that? Could it be that His Highness has really fallen for her..."
"His Highness is not that kind of person."
Baili Fengzhi interrupted him, her voice calm, "Perhaps His Highness learned something from that female assassin but couldn't disclose it face-to-face, which might explain his actions."
Suddenly—
"Whoosh!"
A stone flew suddenly toward Baili Fengzhi.
The stone was not fast, and Baili Fengzhi casually reached out and caught it.
She frowned and glanced in the direction from where the stone had come, then looked at the stone in her hand and noticed a thin piece of paper wrapped around it.
She unfolded it and saw a line of small characters.
Baili Fengzhi glanced at it by the moonlight and slightly startled.
"Sir?" Deputy General Chu looked at her, puzzled.
Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath, and with a burst of dark red Dark Force from her palm, she incinerated and shattered the paper.
Then she softly said, "Let's go back."
...
Inside a rather lavish mansion's woodshed.
"Turn around, let me see your wound."
Lin Yue, holding the Long Bright Pearl, frowned at the slightly pale Yu Shiqi.
"It's nothing, the wound is shallow, I'm tough." Yu Shiqi waved her hand dismissively, "I'll take some medicine, and it will be fine by tomorrow."
Lin Yue frowned slightly and said, "I told you to turn around, back to me."
"Oh..."
Yu Shiqi then carefully turned around.
Lin Yue bent down slightly and, by the light of the Long Bright Pearl, could clearly see a long wound on her back's snowy white skin, bloodied and deep enough to expose bone. There was a faint gleam moving within the wound, continuously creating tiny new cuts, preventing healing.
Though the bleeding had barely stopped, looking at it was still quite miserable, and the clothes near the wound were soaked with blood.
"What's in the wound?" Lin Yue asked.
"It might be the Mana residual from that Magic Treasure brush."
Yu Shiqi thought for a moment and said, "It should be cleared out within five hours."
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then said, "The medicines I saw you had, one bottle of Purple Blue Snow Flower and one bottle of Human Immortal Flower, bring them out."
"Oh..."
Yu Shiqi immediately started searching in her storage treasure and after a while found the two bottles of medicine.
Lin Yue opened them and sniffed, then handed them to Yu Shiqi, saying, "Take this one orally, and apply this one externally after five hours."
After Yu Shiqi had taken the medicine, she sat cross-legged on the ground, biting her lip as she tried to expel the Mana lingering in the wound.
Lin Yue sat down beside her and said helplessly, "Next time we come across such a situation, don't think about fighting, just take me hostage directly, and don't reveal the identity of the Patrol Envoy."
"But I was clearly here to protect you..." Yu Shiqi muttered, then asked, "Why can't I reveal it?"
"Stupid."
Lin Yue glanced at her. "If, as you said, these second batch of Patrol Envoys are also impersonators from the Tantian Sect, they're still pretending to be Patrol Envoys and would still be wary of me being the Prince. But if you reveal their true identity, why would they continue to be wary?"
"Oh..." Yu Shiqi seemed to understand.
Lin Yue shook his head helplessly and said, "You don't need to understand, just obey for now, and we'll figure out how to get out of the city after you've recovered."
Yu Shiqi again responded with an "Oh," closed her eyes, and focused on expelling the Mana from her wound.
After a while, she suddenly exclaimed, opened her eyes wide, and said,
"What will we do after leaving the city if I don't know the way to Di Hong City?"
Lin Yue was at a loss for words and shook his head, "We're not going to Di Hong City just yet."
"Oh..." Yu Shiqi weakly objected, "But my master told me to take you to Di Hong City, you can't just wander off, what if we get lost..."
"Huh?"
Lin Yue looked at her, amused, and couldn't help saying, "Even if we were to go to Di Hong City, you don't know the way either, wouldn't we still get lost?"
"But... but..."
Yu Shiqi struggled to speak, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him, mumbling with her lips pouted and tears swirling around, "I'm so useless..."
Lin Yue felt a headache coming on and said helplessly, "No crying, hold back those tears."
"Oh..." Yu Shiqi widened her eyes, trying to suck the tears back in.
"By the way, that Flying Boat sealed off the entire Qingdu, how did you initially enter the city?" Lin Yue pondered and said, "After your wounds heal, you use the same method to take me out."
"How did I enter the city?"
Yu Shiqi blinked her large eyes, "I don't know, I just came in when I saw the city gates, and just kept thinking 'don't see me, don't see me', and the Martial Cultivator at the gate didn't see me."
"Ah?" Lin Yue was momentarily stunned, then realized.
When Yu Shiqi entered the city, the barrier from the Flying Boat above still allowed people to come through the city gates, as long as they passed the check.
But now that he was kidnapped, and the Patrol Envoys might still be impersonators from the Tantian Sect, how could they possibly let someone leave Qingdu?
