"I want to call back the term of the Seven Souls." Not wanting to waste his words, he directly stated his request.

"After death, the seven souls will automatically dissipate and cannot be retrieved." The words spoken by the ferocious face carried an unquestionable majesty. "At the beginning, she was a sacrifice given to you by the villagers, so I didn't let the ghost messenger take the soul. It is impossible to agree to your other requests."

"Really?" Gathering the spiritual power in the palm of the hand, a water ball appeared, and the clear water kept churning and surging like waves, and the ground under his feet seemed to tremble for a while.

With a little effort, he threw the water polo towards the wall next to Hades, and the part that was hit was immediately blasted out of a huge hole, with spider web-like cracks on the edge.

"Are you threatening this king!" Hades burst into flames, furious, and the flames were burning beside him, making his ferocious face even more terrifying.

"Don't dare, I'm just curious what will happen when the mansion becomes a pile of rubble?" The lips on the handsome face slowly raised, as if telling a harmless story.

After a long time, Hades returned to his normal state and sat back on his chair: "This king will send someone to make a copy for you."

Officers and soldiers surrounded Nangong Mansion inside and outside.

Seeing this situation, he had an ominous premonition: "Father! Mother!"

"Hmm...!" Jun Yi immediately covered his mouth and pulled him to a corner where the officers and soldiers could not see. "Be careful, come out only after knowing the situation, okay?"

"I see." He couldn't see what was going on inside here, and his handsome face showed worry and melancholy: "Let's go to the roof to peek."

"The roof?" Before Jun Yi finished speaking, Xi Yun hugged his waist and jumped onto the roof of the hall. Xi Yun was afraid that he would scream, so she covered his mouth.

"Sit down, or we'll all die if we fall." Xiyun pressed him to sit down, not forgetting to warn him.

"Besides Nangong, you smuggled salt and bribed local officials to clear the pipeline. You broke the law knowingly. Now you should be punished." A man in official uniform couldn't help scolding.

Nangong and his wife remained silent, no one knew what they were thinking at the moment.

"Catch it!" the man shouted.

"No need, we will go by ourselves." Official Nan immediately stopped them, and walked behind the officers and soldiers, followed by the man in official uniform.

"Father!" Just as Xiyun was about to jump off, Jun Yi stopped him in time.

"How about discussing countermeasures first?" Jun Yi couldn't help persuading, and then thought of a reliable person who seemed to be able to help him: "Why don't you ask your friend Miu Ying to ask if there is a way?" They are much more mature, at least not reckless.

"Okay then." As soon as Xiyun finished speaking, he grabbed his collar and said, "Go now."

"What?" So quickly, before he could react, he was carried away by him.

"Deng Tuzi, here I come." He kicked the door of the wrong shadow open, and threw the object he was carrying into it.

"Xiyun, I'm called Cuoying, not Dengtuzi." Junyi barely steadied himself, admonishing him as he walked. "Sir told us to treat people with courtesy, have you forgotten?"

"I just like to be called Dengtuzi." Xiyun ignored him and walked away. "Deng Tu Zi, where are you?" Seeing no one in the hall, he went to the backyard to look for someone, shouting all the way: "Deng Tu Zi! Deng Tu Zi, Deng Tu Zi, Deng Tu Zi!"

"Xiyun, we need people now, shouldn't we be more polite?" Jun Yi followed behind him. "Don't walk around in other people's homes at will, it feels very rude."

"You old man is so noisy." Xi Yun glared at him impatiently, turned back and forth but still didn't see half a figure: "He doesn't seem to be here, let's wait here for him to come back."

However... waited all night.

"Why hasn't that guy come back yet?" Xiyun sat carelessly on the arhat bed in the wrong shadow, raising a slender leg, and the fabric hanging under the stalks outlined the outline of that long leg.

"Maybe you have something to do and won't come back today? How about you go back to my house and I'll lend you a night. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to your house. I'm worried that the officers and soldiers will come back and arrest you."

"No." Xiyun didn't even want to refuse.

"Okay then." Seeing his stubborn appearance, Jun Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Promise me not to mess around."

"Hmm." He responded casually. "goodbye."

Wrong Shadow glanced faintly at the door in front of him, and slowly pushed it open.

"Bang!" The heavy door panel collapsed before his eyes, splashing dust all over the place.

"Ahem..." Cuoying stepped on the door panel on the ground and entered, covering his mouth and nose and coughing continuously.

He stretched out his hand to easily lift the lying door panel, and then put the door panel back on the door frame. His white long fingers lightly brushed over the door frame, the light flickered in his palm, and he even connected the broken door buckle back.

When he entered the house, he saw the man who seemed to be the culprit sitting proudly on his arhat bed. "Does my door have any enmity with you?"

"What's wrong with your door?" Unexpectedly, he only asked this sentence.

"It's broken." He said it with the simplest two words.

"Blame it with the wrong owner." He acted a little guilty as if he had nothing to do with him.

"Tsk, my lord has a lot of things that I don't care about with you. Do you have something to do with me?" Without giving him a chance to speak, he immediately issued an order to evict the guest: "If you have nothing to do, please return."

"Wait." Xiyun jumped down to block his way. "My parents... were arrested by officers and soldiers."

"If you get caught, ask them to come back. What are you doing here?" Cuoying didn't understand the situation.

"Is it that easy to come back?" Xiyun directly expressed his intention. "I want to ask you to help me find a way to save people."

"I'm not a god, how can I do it?" He didn't quite understand why Xiyun came to him for help.

"But... Junyi said that you can help me." Seeing that he really seemed to have nothing to do, he couldn't help feeling worried.

Cuoying stretched his hands into his wide sleeves, looked at him quietly for a few moments without saying a word, and then said, "What crime did they commit?" He vaguely smelled a conspiracy.

"I heard from them that it seems to be smuggling salt and bribing officials." Xiyun told him the conversation he had heard and felt that he could be trusted.

"So do you think they really did it?" Wu Ying asked the key point.

"Of course it's impossible!" Xiyun retorted immediately. "We are just ordinary people. If we really did this kind of thing, we would have made a fortune long ago. My father has established a small reputation in this county through legitimate business."

"I think so." Wrong Shadow agreed deeply: "I will help you visit the situation, and then decide whether to rob the prison."

"Prison robbery?" Xiyun was startled in his heart, he thought he would say something more constructive, but he didn't expect it to be nothing more than that. "What kind of clumsy method is this?"

"No matter how clumsy it is, it's a solution." Wrong Shadow smiled meaninglessly. "Otherwise do you have other better ones?"

"Not at the moment." If there is, I won't ask him for help: "How do you want to check the situation?"

"Go directly to the prison." Wrong Shadow said flatly.

"But this is a felony, it shouldn't be that easy to enter, right?" Xi Yun frowned slightly, why did he feel that he was more reckless than herself?

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas." The usually indifferent handsome face was now thoughtful.

"Tudigong." Cuoying squatted on the ground and called out to the red hut in front of him. Seeing that there was still no response, he called a few more times: "Tudigong, come out, did you hear me? Tell you to come out."

Fell asleep?

After thinking about it, he stood up and kicked hard at the red cabin.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!" A gray-haired old man appeared immediately, leaning on a cane with one hand, and clutching his waist with the other.

"Are you willing to come out?" Cuoying put his hands in his sleeves and stared at the old guy who was always fishing indifferently.

"You are?" The land lord looked at the man exuding aura with fear on his face. He seemed to have surpassed the mundane and elegant realm, but he restrained his proud aura. If he hadn't seen countless people, he might have seen I don't know Taishan anymore.I feel that this man's morals are much higher than his, so I dare not neglect him.

"Wrong image." He directly ignored the meaning of his words and did not tell him his real body.

"Then...Master Ying, what's the important thing for you to call Xiaoxian?" the land lord called respectfully.

"Help me set up a protective shield at this door. After I enter, no one else is allowed to enter until I come out." Wrong Shadow looked at the prison door.

"But..." the land lord had no choice but to express his worries: "If someone finds out that they can't enter for no reason, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion."

Knowing that this old guy would not promise, Gouying made another suggestion: "Then how about using the sleep technique? Let everyone in your domain fall asleep for half an hour."

"May I ask Lord Ying what is his purpose?" The Land Lord couldn't help asking curiously.

Wrong Shadow didn't want to hide it, and replied with the shortest words: "See you."

"But the hypnosis technique is the same, and the people Mr. Ying wants to see will also fall asleep."

"It's okay, I can talk with my spiritual consciousness." Before coming here, I thought about all the possibilities.

"Okay then." The land man knocked the crutch on the ground, and ripples immediately appeared on the ground, and the ripples emitted colorful brilliance, echoing all the way into the prison.

Cuoying let him do what he wanted, stepped into the prison by himself, and saw a row of people pouring out on the ground, as if heavily defended.

After walking for a while, they saw Nangong and his wife.

Even though they were wearing prison clothes, they still looked so dignified and elegant, worthy of being Xiyun's parents.However, his aura was stained all over the floor, and he was in a mess.

"Nangong Yuanwai." Cuoying called to the two sleeping in the prison.

The magnetic voice that suddenly sounded in their heads really surprised the two elders.

There was an indescribable charm in that voice, clear but steady, just like the murmurs of poetry chanted in the past, making one unable to extricate themselves from being intoxicated by it.

"Who are you?" Master Nangong asked suspiciously.

"I'm Xiyun's friend Miu Ying, I would like to ask who do you know who killed me?" Mio Ying didn't want to waste time beating around the bush.

"Who else is there?" Master Nangong lamented quietly, "it must be Mr. Zhao."

This is exactly what he thought. "Then do you want to go out with me now?"

"Go out?" Master Nangong was stunned: "You mean prison robbery?"

"If it's not a legitimate way to save us, then we'd rather not leave." Mrs. Nangong flatly refused.

"Even if you are not afraid of power, you have to think about it. They are cowardly guarding against treacherous officials. Once you cooperate, ten lives are not enough for them to play." Since they have been slandered with such serious crimes, they will not be easily forgiven.

"But you also have to know that if we leave with you, it means that we shrink back and plead guilty, but we must live a life of fugitive from now on." Master Nangong still disagreed.

"I don't even know how to fight those rats." He didn't have their deep scheming.

There was sadness between Cuoying's brows, as the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.It was a mistake to let him withdraw the engagement back then, but now that his parents have ended up in such a mess, he has nothing to do: "I didn't save you guys, why did I explain to Xiyun?"

"The Qing is self-clearing, and they have nothing to do with us for things we haven't done." Mrs. Nangong also felt helpless: "Besides, if you can escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime."

It makes sense to say so, but he can accept it, how does Xiyun feel?

"That dog official is trying to make things difficult for us, can you hide in the ends of the world?" He couldn't hide, when he decided to divorce, he had already imagined all the possible consequences: "I just hate that I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage at the beginning. Fortunately, Xiyun With the divorce, finally let us see the true face of their Zhao family."

"It's a bit like self-comfort." Although Wu Ying agreed, he still couldn't really understand.

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, it's just..." If it really happens, it will ruin Xiyun's life, and he is their only and most beloved child, how can they bear it? "Young Master Shadow...can we trust you?"

"Of course." Wrong Shadow replied without thinking.

"If we are unfortunately killed, please take good care of Xiyun for us." Master Nangong finally couldn't hold back his tears.

The wrong shadow quietly looked at the tears streaming down his closed eyes, and made a promise: "I will definitely protect him to the death."
