Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

Compared to the previous time I came, the gate of Yuchen Palace was crowded with people, this time...

It's still crowded.

After sending Chen Yier away, Guan Shanyu bypassed the notification without thinking too much and went straight through the barrier from the back door. He intercepted Li Suyin who was escaping by stepping on the bottom of a flowerpot on the garden path.

"Big Brother, please let me go. What are you doing here uninvited this time?"

Li Suyin was grabbed by Guan Shanyu's collar, and tears flowed out like a faucet was turned on. She hugged Guan Shanyu's thighs and cried.

Guan Shanyu pulled her away and said expressionlessly, "Don't cry, I just want to ask you something."

Li Suyin stopped crying, twisted her handkerchief and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes." Guan Shanyu nodded, squatted down, and looked at Li Suyin at eye level. "Where did your father put the magic weapon that killed Si Xuanqing that I gave you before?"

Li Suyin was horrified when she heard this. She quickly covered Guan Shanyu's mouth and said with wide eyes, "You, you don't want to take it, do you? What are you going to do?"

Guan Shanyu pushed her hand away and said, "It's useful and will do you no harm. Just tell me where it is."

Li Suyin quickly said, "That's a demonic weapon, and my father is keeping a close eye on it. Besides, does Yan Ruchen know you want to take it?"

"You should know." Guan Shanyu replied expressionlessly.

Li Suyin frowned and said, "What do you mean you should know? This thing belongs to Yan Ruchen after all. Are you planning to steal it and do something bad? I'm warning you, calm down."

Hearing this, Guan Shanyu chuckled and looked up at her again: "Do you know why I came out of Wangshuiling?"

Li Suyin was startled and felt vaguely uneasy. She tightened her collar and wrapped herself tighter, then asked cautiously, "What's the reason?"

Guan Shanyu smiled at her, moved closer to her, and lowered his voice and said, "I wanted to come, but they wouldn't let me. So I said, 'I've had a crush on you for a long time, and I heard you were getting married, so I wanted to come and talk to you.' Guess what? They let me go immediately."

"What?!" Li Suyin was so scared that she jumped three meters high from the ground, pointing at Guan Shanyu and shouting, "Where's your mother? Does Yan Ruchen know? He didn't react at all, did he? He won't come with a knife to chop me!"

Guan Shanyu stood up, stepped forward and held down Li Suyin's hand that was pointing at him, and said sinisterly: "But as long as I get this done, you will definitely be fine."

"You fucking bastard..." Li Suyin almost went up to strangle Guan Shanyu to death, but when she put her hand on his neck, Yan Ruchen's face flashed before her eyes again. She dropped her hand in fear and covered her heart, saying, "I... Qiao and I haven't set a wedding date yet. You... you're talking nonsense like this. Aren't you afraid that Yan Ruchen will be furious and kill us both?"

Guan Shanyu chuckled and said, "I've already said it, there will be no problem once the matter is done."

Li Suyin clutched her chest and took several deep breaths before she gave up and said, "I heard he's been locked up in the same prison as the elders. I only know the location, but I really don't know the specifics."

Guan Shanyu sighed and said, "Just take me there, I can find it."

Li Suyin frowned and asked in confusion, "How did you find it?"

Guan Shanyu looked at her helplessly and said, "Just search room by room. Your father isn't home today, is he?"

Li Suyin nodded blankly: "Not here..."

It was not until she brought Guan Shanyu into the prison of Yuchen Palace in a daze and watched his back slowly walking up the stairs that Li Suyin suddenly came to her senses.

This person definitely had something important to do, and Yan Ruchen was probably unaware of it. Otherwise, given Yan Ruchen's personality, he would never have let Guan Shanyu come.

Then, if I brought him in to look for something this time, wouldn’t that mean… I’ve done something bad?

Li Suyin's eyes widened, her face filled with panic, her mind a mess. Guan Shanyu never told her before he made a move, but once he did, it was always earth-shattering.

Li Suyin was flustered and didn't know where the panic came from. Perhaps it was because her right eyelid was twitching rapidly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you lose something?"

The prison guard saw Li Suyin from afar with a look of despair on her face, and approached her cautiously and asked.

Li Suyin looked back at the guard's dark face and said expressionlessly, "Don't bother me, and don't tell anyone about what happened today."

On the upper floor of the prison, Guan Shanyu only visited two cells before he found the pitch-black magic weapon at the deepest part of the third floor.

Li Xiuqi seemed extremely confident in his barrier, not even hiding it, and directly placed the magic weapon on the platform, as if showing off the trophy. To others, such an action might be a little inappropriate, but if it was Li Xiuqi.

Guan Shanyu smiled glumly. It was both unexpected and reasonable.

He approached the cell and just as he got close he felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power, as if an invisible hand was pushing him and forcing him to stay away.

But Guan Shanyu remembered that when he and Yan Ruchen broke into the barrier of Yuchen Palace together, Yan Ruchen had taught him a mantra.

At that time, Yan Ruchen said that this mantra could penetrate all the barriers of Yuchen Palace.

This should be included.

Guan Shanyu took a deep breath, carefully recalled the contents of the mantra, slowly mobilized the spiritual power around him, and cautiously took a few steps forward.

Sure enough, the pushing feeling almost disappeared, and his body passed through from the outside to the inside gently as if through a layer of water. When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the room.

The person came in smoothly, but Guan Shanyu's mood fell to the bottom.

It turns out that this formula can really help you get in.

He sighed slightly, looking at the black magic weapon in front of him that was emitting a misty and turbid aura, and his heart felt heavy.

Previously, Yan Ruchen had brought the forbidden books from the Immortal Sect to Wangshuiling and instructed Guan Shanyu to copy them. During this process, Guan Shanyu had learned many methods to restrain demonic instruments. Therefore, how to carry this instrument out was not difficult for him.

Guan Shanyu lowered his head and pulled out two oil-paper packages coated with several layers of lard from his arms. He raised his hand and gently wrapped them around the magic weapon on the table. The moment the oil paper covered the magic weapon, the ethereal demonic energy and the sinister feeling seemed to be sealed away, tightly wrapped in the oil paper.

Guan Shanyu wrapped the magic weapon layer by layer, put it in his arms after confirming that it was correct, and left the room immediately without staying for long.

But he did not go downstairs and leave the cell directly. Instead, he turned around and walked quickly upstairs.

This time, Guan Shanyu thought that this should be the last time he would come here in his life. Just like that day when Yu Kunliang and the others slowly walked away and their characters gradually left the stage, he felt that he also needed to say a simple goodbye to some important people.

After all, he was also responsible for causing them to be in this state.

The last time I came here, I could hear the noisy sound of mahjong, but this time, the corridor was unusually quiet. Apart from Guan Shanyu's heartbeat, there was almost no sound.

He felt a little uneasy, so he quickened his pace, ran to the eighth floor in a few steps, and quickly walked around the corridor to the room where Qing Yuanzi was originally imprisoned.

When he reached the door, just as he expected, no one was in the room this time.

The original table had been moved to the corner, the stools neatly stacked beside it, and the mahjong tiles, teacups, and other items were gone. The entire room was empty, as if no one had lived there for a long time, as if no one had ever been there.

Guan Shanyu's temples throbbed slightly, his nose felt sore, and he pounded his head in frustration. He didn't know where Qing Yuanzi and the others had been taken, or if something had happened because he was late...

He grabbed the railing and shook it twice, but eventually fell down helplessly, collapsing to the ground, holding his head and sobbing softly. With his other hand, he hit his head hard and cursed himself, "Why are you so stupid?"

"who?"

Before Guan Shanyu had finished his curse, a light yet deep voice suddenly came from his right. He looked up and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. After a moment's hesitation, he stumbled over.

"Master Yuan... Master Yuan?" Guan Shanyu's legs gave way, and just as he reached the door, they gave way and he fell to the ground. But there he was, Yuan Chongxiao, sitting in meditation in the center of the room, looking up at him.

He happily rushed to the cell door, grabbed the bars and asked anxiously, "Master Yuan, where are my master and the others? Where did they go?"

Yuan Chongxiao stared at him for a moment, then slowly said, "Are you Yuanzi's apprentice?"

Guan Shanyu nodded heavily: "Yes, I am. Master Yuan, where are my master and the others?"

Yuan Zhongxiao was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "He was taken away by Xiuqi."

Guan Shanyu quickly asked, "When were they taken away? How long have they been away? Are they okay?"

Yuan Chongxiao was silent for a while before answering, "He was taken away yesterday. His whereabouts are unknown, but he should be fine."

Guan Shanyu burst into tears when he heard this. He covered his chest and murmured to himself: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Yuan Chongxiao opened his eyes and looked at Guan Shanyu silently. After a while, he asked, "Did you sneak in?"

Guan Shanyu wiped away his tears and nodded: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chongxiao closed his eyes again and said, "Then go back quickly. This is not the place for you."

Guan Shanyu looked at him with a sorrowful look, tears streaming down his face again. He bit his lip, got up from the ground, and after a moment's silence, he knelt down with his legs bent, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Yuan, I really can't stay here for long, but please rest assured, I will do my best to get you out as soon as possible."

Yuan Chongxiao frowned slightly and looked up at Guan Shanyu. Guan Shanyu kowtowed heavily on the ground and continued, "If Master returns, please give him my regards. I'm unfilial and have wronged the Masters. If I have the chance, I will apologize in person."

After saying that, he kowtowed a few more times on the ground, then stood up, turned around and ran out. Before Yuan Chongxiao could react, Guan Shanyu's figure had disappeared from his sight.

Li Suyin on the first floor was still in a petrified state.

Her right eyelid twitched faster and faster, as if her veins were about to beat her to death. So she began to wonder if she should go upstairs to check. Could Guan Shanyu have gone upstairs to… silence someone?

Wouldn't it be for Yan Ruchen, so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything, that he just killed all the elders?

It's very likely...

Otherwise, why would he take the magic weapon? Could it be that he was going to take that awl-like thing home to use as something?

That's definitely impossible.

Damn it, she had to stop him.

After thinking about it, Li Suyin turned around immediately. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, the man who wanted to take the awl home just turned down from upstairs. Caught off guard, the two of them almost bumped into each other.

Li Suyin immediately grabbed Guan Shanyu's hand, stared into his red eyes, and admonished him: "Master, don't do stupid things, okay?"

Guan Shanyu tilted his head to look at her without saying anything. Li Suyin was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth and asked, "You...you didn't really do it?"

Guan Shanyu nodded faintly. Li Suyin turned pale with fright, and whispered with trembling lips: "You you you you you..."

"Stop calling me that." Guan Shanyu glanced at her, sighed, and said, "Live your life well from now on. Good fortune is yet to come."

Li Suyin's face changed slightly, and she asked in confusion: "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"

Guan Shanyu didn't reply to her, but patted her shoulder and turned to leave. Li Suyin saw him walk quickly to the door, then turned around and flipped out from the corner of the wall, and suddenly remembered something in her mind.

It seems that Qing Yuanzi and the others are not in Yuchen Palace?
