My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes wandering over Scar Four's face which was full of traces of time.

He opened his thin lips slightly, with a hint of casual curiosity in his tone.

"Brother Li, what realm do you think the three leaders of the Black Wind Village are at? To be able to dominate this area in the mountains, they must be extraordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Scar Four's mouth flashed a complicated bitter smile, and his eyes showed both awe and helplessness.

"The three masters, Xinglong, Xinghu, and Xingbao, are all at the level of Daluo Jinxian."

"Everyone in this area within a hundred miles knows him. He is a real celebrity. Especially the eldest brother Xing Long. It is said that his cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. He is just one step away from reaching a higher realm."

At one side, Liu Laizi was leaning on a pile of shabby straw in the cell. Hearing the conversation between the two, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said "huh" with disdain and interrupted.

"With your little tricks, do you think you can deal with the three masters? Let me tell you, I, Liu Laizi, have some friendship with the big brothers in the Black Wind Village, and I still have some spirit stones left at home."

"Once I have collected enough money and paid the ransom, the three masters will naturally let me go. Unlike some people..."

Having said that, Liu Laizi glanced at Lu Yun, looking up and down at his patched clothes with a look of contempt on his face.

"With your poor appearance, you still want to escape? You'd better just dig ore for the three bosses for the rest of your life, haha."

Hearing this, Lu Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, but he did not refute immediately. Instead, he walked to Liu Laizi with interest, squatted down, and looked at him, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Liu, that's a good point, but nothing is absolute in this world. Sometimes, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea. Maybe, your so-called "friendship" and "spiritual stones" will not be as useful as my tattered clothes in the end."

Lu Yun's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about the most ordinary topic, but that calm aura made Liu Laizi's heart shudder, and he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Humph, you are quite good at talking, just don't cry and beg for mercy when the time comes."

Liu Laizi fought back stubbornly, but there was indeed a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Lu Yun chuckled, stood up, brushed the dust off his knees, and turned to speak to Scar Four.

"Brother Li, let's not fight with these external things. Tell me your idea. How can we use the existing conditions to give Black Wind Village a surprise?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on Scar Four's face, a struggle after careful consideration. His eyes moved back and forth between Lu Yun and every corner of the cell, as if he was weighing the feasibility of a certain plan.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the rough iron fence, leaving tiny marks, as if silently recording the entanglement in his heart.

"This matter... is too risky. Brother Yun, are you sure we can do it?"

Scar Four lowered his voice, emphasizing each word, as if he was trying to convince himself.

Lu Yun was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of unusual movement out of the corner of his eye.

Liu Laizi, the guy who was always noisy on weekdays, was moving stealthily at this moment, like a mouse stealing food, quietly approaching the iron door of the cell.

Lu Yun's heart trembled, but he did not speak out to stop it immediately. Instead, he watched the show that was about to unfold calmly.

There was a smug smile on Liu Laizi's lips, like a cat about to catch its prey.

He gently, almost secretly, touched the edge of the cell door, and then quickly knocked on the door with his fingernails, making a secret signal that only the guards could understand.

This series of actions was skillful and cunning, and it was obvious that this was not the first time this had happened.

"Hey, big brother guard, big brother guard!"

Liu Laizi deliberately lowered his voice, but could not hide his eagerness and flattery. He peeped out through the crack in the door with one eye, waiting for a response.

After a while, the sound of heavy boots came closer and closer, and a burly guard appeared at the door of the cell, staring at Liu Laizi impatiently.

"What's the matter again? Don't come and tease me again, kid."

Liu Laizi immediately put on a righteous expression and raised his voice by octaves.

"I'm reporting that someone is trying to escape! Scar Four and that new pretty boy are planning to break out of prison!"

Upon hearing this, Scar Four suddenly turned around with a sharp gaze, and then he noticed Liu Laizi who had arrived at the cell door.

Scar Four glared at Liu Laizi fiercely, his scarred hands clenched into fists, as if he was about to rush over to teach this traitor a lesson the next moment.

But Liu Laizi seemed not to be afraid at all, and even looked a little proud. He knew that under the watchful eyes of the guards, Scar Four would not dare to act rashly.

"Nonsense! When did I, Scar Four, ever say I wanted to escape?"

Scar Four roared angrily, his voice echoing in the narrow cell, shaking the air.

Liu Laizi chuckled, and his laughter was full of the pride of a winner.

"Scar Four, Scar Four, do you think I'm stupid? Can't I see through your little tricks? Now, the guard is here, you'd better behave yourself."

The guard frowned when he heard this, and blocked the door with his fat body. His small eyes glanced back and forth between Scar Four and Lu Yun.

The guard's brows were furrowed, the flesh on his face was squeezed into a ball, and his vicious expression looked as if he wanted to eat someone. He pushed open the iron door of the cell with a "clang". The sound made people tremble in the narrow space.

He strode into the cell with big strides, his iron boots making a dull sound on the stone slabs, and every step seemed to announce the coming of a storm.

"Scar Four, are you itching for trouble?!"

The guard roared, and the sound echoed in the cell, making the air seem to tremble.

He grabbed Scar Four's collar and pulled him up like a chicken. Scar Four's face immediately turned red and his feet kicked wildly, but he had no power to resist.

"Brother, I...I didn't..."

Before Scar Four could finish his words, the guard punched him in the abdomen. The pain made him bend over and let out a painful groan.

Then, fists rained down like raindrops, each punch made a sound of wind. Scar Four was soon covered in blood. He curled up on the ground, coughing constantly, looking extremely miserable.

Seeing this, Liu Laizi's eyes flashed with a hint of gloating. He hurried forward and spoke to the guard in a flattering manner.

"Brother Guard, calm down. This was actually instigated by Yunlu. Scar Four is just a big fool who fell into his trap."

Upon hearing this, the guard turned his bloodshot eyes towards Lu Yun, burning with rage and murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour him.

"You little bastard, huh? You're really capable, kid. You dare to play tricks under my nose?"

Lu Yun sat there, his body motionless, his eyes calm as water, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if the scene before him had been expected.

"Master Guard, I am wronged. I didn't do anything. Scar Brother Four was just chatting with me."

"Homely talk? Haha, what a homely talk!" The guard sneered, took a few steps closer to Lu Yun, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Come on, boy, if you're willing to get down on the ground and lick these boots clean for me, I'll pretend nothing happened."

Liu Laizi fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire.

"That's right, Yunlu, the guard is giving you a way out, so don't be ungrateful."

Lu Yun raised his head and met the guard's gaze, his eyes filled with both disdain and mockery.

"Master Guard, I hate dirty things, especially those under someone's feet."
