Chapter 45 They Came to the Door
Mu Renciyu led a group of experts and quietly approached the gloomy and terrifying dungeon.
The dungeon was heavily guarded, with patrolling guards constantly moving back and forth.
However, thanks to their superb martial arts skills and excellent teamwork, Mu Ren Siyu and his companions managed to bypass all the sentries and successfully infiltrate the dungeon without anyone noticing.
The dungeon reeked of a nauseating stench, and the flickering torches on the walls cast a faint glow on the dark, damp floor.
The Curtain Blade Civic proceeded cautiously and finally found Lu Yun, who was on the verge of death, in front of a cell.
Lu Yun was covered in wounds, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed despair and helplessness.
Mu Ren Siyu quickly opened the cell door and softly called out Lu Yun's name.
Lu Yun heard the unfamiliar voice, slowly raised his head, and when he saw the Curtain Blade Civic, a hint of surprise and hope flashed in his eyes.
Mu Ren Siyu quickly stepped forward to help Lu Yun up and untied the heavy shackles from his body.
With everyone's cover, Mu Ren Siyu successfully escaped the dark and gloomy dungeon with Lu Yun.
The moment he saw the light of day again, Lu Yun was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He tightly grasped Mu Ren Siyu's hand and said, "Thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would probably have died in this dungeon long ago..."
Mu Ren Siyu smiled slightly and comforted her, "No need to be so polite. I was asked to save you. Now that you're safe, take good care of yourself." With that, the group disappeared into the vast night.
Once they reached a safe place, Mu Ren Siyu immediately instructed Chongyang to move out of the city according to his plan; otherwise, given Li Tian's mad dog-like behavior of biting anyone he saw, he would not escape his fate.
When Chongyang first saw Lu Yun, he couldn't help but gasp. Lu Yun was covered in wounds, his skin torn and bleeding profusely, a truly gruesome sight.
Looking at the shocking scene before him, Chongyang was overwhelmed by a surge of guilt.
Chongyang originally thought that as long as he could successfully lure away Li Tian and his gang of vicious people, Lu Yun would be able to escape.
However, things didn't go as planned, and reality is always cruel and merciless. The result was far beyond Chongyang's expectations.
Due to the severity of his injuries, Lu Yun remained unconscious for a full day and night before finally waking up.
He struggled to slowly open his heavy eyelids, and in his dazed state, he realized that the surrounding environment was no longer the dark, damp, and terrifying dungeon. Only then did he remember that he had been rescued!
Just then, Chongyang, who was standing by, was overjoyed to see Lu Yun finally wake up and rushed over to ask him how he was doing.
"Where is this..." Lu Yun asked weakly, his voice as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.
His face was as pale as paper, looking completely bloodless, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.
"Brother Lu, don't speak yet, just rest." Chongyang quickly said softly, while picking up the water glass on the table and carefully placing the straw end to Lu Yun's chapped lips.
Lu Yun tried to struggle to get up, but his once strong body seemed to have all its strength drained away, and he could not move an inch no matter how hard he tried.
"Thank you, Chongyang... It's all my fault. I not only failed to protect myself, but I also dragged you down." Lu Yun's eyes were full of guilt and self-blame. He squeezed out these words with difficulty, each word seemingly taking all his strength.
Upon hearing this, Chongyang's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in them: "What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Lu! If it weren't for me, how could you have fallen into such a dangerous situation? It's all my fault..." As he spoke, Chongyang couldn't help but choke up.
In the days that followed, Chongyang showed Lu Yun great care and consideration.
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight stream into the room, Chongyang would gently come to Lu Yun's bedside to check if his injuries had improved and to prepare a nutritious breakfast for him.
During the day, Chongyang always stayed by Lu Yun's side, chatting with him to relieve boredom and sharing interesting things and troubles in their lives.
As night fell, Chongyang dared not slacken his vigilance in the slightest, keeping a close eye on Lu Yun's sleep, fearing that he might have difficulty falling asleep due to his injuries.
Under such meticulous care day after day, Lu Yun's health gradually recovered, and the already deep brotherhood between Chongyang and Lu Yun became even more intense, like a burning bonfire.
They supported and encouraged each other, as if they had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
Meanwhile, far away on the other side, Li Tian, with a heart full of trepidation, embarked on his journey to No. 109 Xinxing Road, Hua'an City without hesitation.
Throughout the journey, his emotions fluctuated like turbulent waves.
On the one hand, he felt nervous and worried about the unknown situation he was about to face; on the other hand, deep down he also had a hint of anticipation and curiosity.
Finally, after a long drive, Li Tian arrived at his destination. However, to his surprise, what appeared before him was a hotel called "Phantom Inn".
The hotel looked somewhat old, and the signboard at the entrance swayed slightly in the wind, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.
Just as Li Tian was lost in thought, a figure suddenly walked out of the hotel.
Li Tian took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart, which was pounding with nervousness, and then lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the faintly visible figure.
With each step he took closer, his heart beat faster, as if that figure was hiding some enormous secret.
Finally, Li Tian got close enough to see the other person's face clearly.
Standing before me was a cold-faced girl with snow-white skin and long, glossy black hair that cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.
However, her delicate face was expressionless, like a cold piece of jade, making her unapproachable.
Just then, Huan Yuechu, the cold-faced girl who had been expressionless the whole time, suddenly curled the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a faint smile.
That smile was like a spring breeze brushing across a frozen lake, instantly breaking the icy aura emanating from her.
At the same time, a sense of warmth and kindness shone through her eyes, like the warm sun in winter, gentle and comforting.
If Xu Yan were here, she would definitely think that Huan Yuechu had ill intentions and wanted to gain something from her.
Li Tian was taken aback by this sudden change, but he quickly recovered and stammered, "Y-you... hello, may I ask if I can stay here?"
