The Empress of Ten Reincarnations Just to Find Me

Chen Han looked at Chen Yue, shook his head slightly, and said sincerely, "Miss Chen Yue, I appreciate your kindness. But let's go our separate ways after we leave the city. It's really inconvenient for me to take Meng Yue with me, so I can't take you with me."

After all, Chen Han took into consideration whether Sister Jingzi would be able to come out conveniently in the future, and what happened with Han Mengyun, so he no longer dared to trust anyone easily.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Yue's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, smiled and nodded: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't force you."

When Xiao Mengyue heard Chen Han's words, a look of loss suddenly appeared on her face. She held Chenyue's hand tightly, her big eyes full of reluctance: "Brother, why can't you let me go with us? Mengyue likes me."

Chen Han squatted down, looked at Xiao Mengyue tenderly, and said softly: "Mengyue, brother has his own considerations. We can't always take Sister Chenyue with her. She also has her own way to go."

Little Mengyue bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "But, Mengyue doesn't want to be separated from her sister."

Chen Han's heart softened, and he gently touched little Mengyue's head: "Be good, Mengyue, we may meet Sister Chenyue again in the future. Now we have to find a way to leave the city."

Although Xiao Mengyue was reluctant, she knew that her brother's decision was difficult to change, so she could only nod silently and said nothing more. The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and after a while, Chen Han took the lead in breaking the silence.

Chen Han looked at Chen Yue and asked seriously, "Miss Chen Yue, you just said there is a way to leave the city. I wonder what it is?"

"There's an abandoned house near the south gate of Chu City. There's a secret passage in that house, said to have been built for emergencies, but few people know about it. We can go to that house first, wait until nightfall, and then leave the city through the secret passage."

A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Han's eyes, and he asked, "Are you sure this secret passage is still usable? And how can we find that abandoned house?"

Chen Yue said confidently, "I once heard about this secret passage in the palace. I'm not sure if it's still usable, but it's worth a try. As for the location of the house, I roughly remember the direction. We can ask around nearby. It shouldn't be difficult to find."

Chen Han pondered for a moment. "Well, there's no better way at the moment. Let's do as you say. I hope this secret passage can help us get out of the city smoothly."

Not long after, after the few people left the shop, Chen Han observed the surroundings vigilantly while transmitting a message to the Ming Ring in the mirror: "Sister Mirror, is there any trace of Dao Yang Sect members around?"

After a moment, the Dark Ring replied, "I can't sense it, but there are indeed no people around with the aura of cultivation. They are all ordinary people."

Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let his guard down. He continued forward with Chen Yue and Xiao Meng Yue, searching for a relatively safe place.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a secluded alley. After confirming that there was no immediate danger, Chen Han decided to unleash the Hundred Transformations Technique. After all, maintaining this state was too energy-consuming.

Chen Han closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and slowly withdrew the power of the Hundred Transformations. After a moment, he returned to his original, slightly handsome appearance.

Chen Yue looked at the changes in Chen Han, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

After leaving the alley, they decided to relax and stroll through the bustling streets, thinking they would only act at night. Little Mengyue was like a cheerful little bird, full of curiosity about everything around her.

She held Chen Yue's hand tightly and shouted excitedly, "Sister, come here!" Then she skipped towards a stall selling small accessories.

Chen Yue, touched by Xiao Meng Yue's playfulness, followed her with a smile. Xiao Meng Yue picked up a beautiful hairpin, then touched a colorful ribbon, her eyes filled with joy. Chen Yue patiently accompanied her, occasionally explaining the uses of some of the little gadgets.

Chen Han looked at Xiao Mengyue and Chenyue, shook his head helplessly, and thought to himself that he had been forgotten.

But looking at Xiao Mengyue's happy face and Chenyue's gentle smile, he felt a warmth well up in his heart. This warm scene made him temporarily forget the difficulties they were facing.

Xiao Mengyue brought Chenyue to the door of a shop and was attracted by the exquisite porcelain displayed in the shop. Seeing this, Chen Han slowly followed.

When the shop owner saw Chen Yue and Xiao Meng Yue, he smiled kindly and was about to greet them when his eyes fell on Chen Han behind him.

The shop owner's eyes flashed with ambiguity, and he said with a smile: "Oh, you two are so young, and your children are already so big. I'm so envious."

Chen Han felt strange when he heard this, and an indescribable awkwardness welled up in his heart. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but felt a little embarrassed to speak out.

Chen Yue was also slightly startled, her cheeks instantly stained with a blush. She bit her lip lightly, her eyes a little flustered, not knowing how to respond.

Chen Han coughed awkwardly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. The shop owner didn't seem to notice their discomfort and continued, "Your family is truly enviable, young and full of energy."

Chen Han shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to respond. Chen Yue lowered her head, gently twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, looking very shy.

They stood at the door of the shop, the atmosphere becoming somewhat subtle and awkward, as if time had frozen at this moment. After a moment, Chen Han finally broke the silence and said softly:

"Boss, you misunderstood. We are not a family."

The shop owner smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I understand, it's just a matter of time!"

Chen Han and Chen Yue looked at each other, feeling even more embarrassed. They quickly pulled Xiao Mengyue out of the store and continued walking on the street, but they still felt awkward about the misunderstanding.

After the three of them left the shop, Xiao Mengyue didn't seem to notice Chen Han and Chen Yue's awkwardness, and continued to skip ahead and lead the way. Chen Han and Chen Yue followed silently behind, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

After walking for a while, Xiao Mengyue was suddenly attracted by a small stall selling sugar paintings. She ran over excitedly, her eyes fixed on the sugar paintings the stall owner was making. Chen Han and Chen Yue also followed and stood behind Xiao Mengyue.

The stall owner quickly made a beautiful sugar painting and handed it to Xiao Mengyue. Xiao Mengyue happily took the sugar painting, licked it, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Chen Han looked at Xiao Mengyue's adorable appearance and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Chen Yue's eyes also fell on little Meng Yue, her eyes full of tenderness. She whispered, "Meng Yue is so cute." Chen Han turned his head and looked at Chen Yue. The moment their eyes met, they both looked away a little embarrassedly.

At this moment, a breeze blew, and Chen Yue's hair fluttered gently. Chen Han subconsciously reached out and helped Chen Yue tuck her hair behind her ear. This small gesture made Chen Yue's heartbeat quicken instantly, and her cheeks flushed again.

Chen Han also realized that his actions were a bit abrupt and scratched his head in embarrassment.

They continued walking in the street, Xiao Mengyue looking at this, touching that, having a lot of fun. And the atmosphere between Chen Han and Chen Yue gradually became less awkward, with more warmth and sweetness.

Unconsciously, the sun gradually set in the west. Chen Han looked at the sky and said, "Time flies so fast. We should get ready."
