Lui’s originally grim-looking face became even uglier and twisted. Lui remained silent without a word after the mysterious person had just pulled down the hood he used to cover his face, his brows tightly knit together as if considering something. That means that he had been tricked all this while, played with by the so-called guards who deceived him out of the palace, and he wished he was not enticed by the so-called act of getting revenge on Lu Shang and deeply immersed in hatred for him. Well, it was already too late to realise the problem in front of him now.He was never expecting to see that the face behind the hood was the face of Lu Shang, and he never suspected anything since he was with Lu Shang in the inn, and he was very confident that no one could trick him. He also regretted believing everything the guards told him in the palace and also the ones the mysterious person told him in the inn, which turned out to be Lu Shang.Lu Shang, who just pulled down the disguise he use

Chen hit Lui, trying to wake him from his deep slumber. He kept on trying until he eventually succeeded in waking him up.Lui woke up from his unconscious state, but at first the person he was seeing in front of him was blurry and not clear. After some seconds, he could now see the person who was bending down in front of him.Lui stood up and stretched his body; a cracking sound resounded from every bone in his body. Chen, who was now standing shoulder to shoulder with Lui, looked into Lui's eyes."What happened, and how were you captured?" Chen asked after a while of remaining silent and looking at Lui.Lui just stood there, looking at Chen as if he were seeing him for the first time."Say something," Chen said again, not hearing anything from Lui after a short moment. "What is wrong with Lui? Why is he looking at me strangely, as if I am a terrorist to him? Chen thought it through.Lui opened his mouth to say something but closed it again without saying anything. He was frustrated a

Lui was returned to the guard room after the king and everyone had said what they wanted to say.All they have to do now is plan for their next move. Lu Shang told them about his plan, and everybody was amazed at his idea and immediately agreed to it.The king assigned a maid to take care of Yin Deng's every need. Yin Deng was brought to a wonderful and luxurious room that was big enough for ten people to stay.He was happy, enjoying the life of royalty, so this is what royalty looks like and tastes like; these thoughts run through his mind."Young master, when you are in need of me or you want anything, you can send for me. I already have things to be busy with," the maid said, bowing in a polite manner to Yin Deng."Okay. I will surely send for you when there is anything I want," Yin Deng said to the maid.The maid bowed and went out of the room, leaving Yin Deng alone to enjoy his stay. Yin Deng quickly took his bath and then freshened up. After taking his bath, he felt refreshed a

"I know it's not going to be easy, but trust me, I have plans to bring down the king without much difficulty. What I just need is to gain all the guards trust, and I will be able to accomplish it," Lu Shang said as he dropped the sword back to where he took it from.Lu Shang signalled to the guards, who immediately came forward and then released Chen from the chain used to bound him to the wall.Chen fell to the ground instantly, and he was set free."Take him out of here and then take care of him, treat his injuries, and make sure they use the most effective medicine to make his wounds heal faster and make a quick recovery," Lu Shang commanded the guards before directly walking out of the torture room.after he is done with his business and what he has to do. He found his way down to the room his mom was occupying.Arriving in front of the room, he could hear two voices talking and laughing as they discussed something; these two were his mom and the queen.

The Yuan kingdom loomed in the distance, its vast landscape stretching out before Lu Shang and his team as they soared through the air on the backs of the magical beasts. The wind whipped against their faces, carrying a mix of anticipation and determination.Lu Shang surveyed the surroundings, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of potential obstacles or threats. He knew that the journey to the Yuan kingdom wouldn't be easy. It was a land known for its treacherous terrain and formidable warriors. But he was prepared to face whatever challenges awaited them.
