As soon as the Luosha King finished speaking, Yao Yue and Ye Mo were completely shocked. Who would’ve thought that Ye Qing had been to the Luosha Prison as well, saving Xuan Ji League Chief from it?
Recalling what Xuan Ji had said before, Ye Mo frowned. Following that, an idea rushed into his head. The reason why Xuan Ji had handpicked Ye Changsheng was perhaps due to her thinking that he was Ye Mo. However, Xuan Ji League Chief was no fool, so why would she believe Ye Changsheng so easily?
There had to be something going on underneath all of this, and Ye Mo was definitely going to get to the bottom of it. If this was true, then there was no doubt that Ye Changsheng had to die for taking Ye Mo’s glory and thinking of all the schemes to oppress him.
“Of course, during that time, I was a mere n.o.body working in the Luosha Prison. If not for my meddling from the inside, do you think those two would’ve been able to escape the Luosha Prison at all?” A hint of jealousy could be seen in the Luosha King’s eyes as she spoke.
“Auntie, what kind of person was my mother? Why was she taken away?”
Things about his mother were of the utmost importance to Ye Mo. All he knew was that her family must have been extremely mysterious and powerful and that the blood that flowed in his body was pa.s.sed down from his mother. Ye Mo knew better than anyone else regarding the power of this bloodline.
“I’m not sure either. Anyway, those who came to take your mother away were too powerful. That level of strength isn’t something we can comprehend.” Recalling the past events, a fearful expression could be seen on the Luosha King’s face as well.
“Auntie, are you a member of the Emperor Faction or the Martial Faction?” Ye Mo continued asking.
“I’m also unsure regarding where I stand.” As she spoke, she seemed to be deep in thought. Following that, she said, “Ye Mo, you can leave the Luosha Prison because you are my nephew. However, this girl cannot.”
“Why? She’s my friend.”
“Little Mo, do you know how much of a risk I’m taking by letting you out? This girl might be your friend, but she was appointed by the Empress to die. If I let her out, I’ll definitely be taking an even bigger risk. I may be the Luosha King, but this risk is definitely not something that I can take.” As she spoke, a sly smile appeared on her face.
Ye Mo had merely killed Cao Sans.h.i.+, an insignificant offense, but Yao Yue was sent to prison under the Empress’ orders. If Yao Yue were to escape, there would be serious repercussions.
“Auntie, the reason why Sister Yao Yue was captured is completely because of me. I was actually the one who killed Huang s.h.i.+hu,” Ye Mo said anxiously.
“I know, but that girl’s offense for being thrown into the Luosha Prison is for the murder of Huang s.h.i.+hu—that is unrefutably the truth.” The Luosha King shook her head.
“Ye Mo, don’t make life hard for your Auntie. If she lets me escape, she’ll face punishment from the Empress. When that happens, even you could be pulled into things. You being able to escape is already the best-case scenario,” said Yao Yue.
Upon hearing that, the Luosha King also smiled. “This girl is still the more logical one.”
“Auntie, is there really nothing we can do?” After hearing the conversation between these two, Ye Mo became anxious. The initial reason why he was there was to save Yao Yue. He had to think of a way to bring her out.
“Little Mo, it seems like you care about her quite a lot. What’s your relations.h.i.+p with her?” The Luosha King smiled with a glint in her eyes.
“Me? She’s merely my senior,” Ye Mo replied, not knowing how to explain to the Luosha King.
“Merely a senior?” Luosha King asked again, still smiling weirdly. “I thought she was your girlfriend or something like that. If that was the case, I would definitely have to protect my nephew-in-law.”
The Luosha King’s words couldn’t have been any clearer—if Yao Yue and Ye Mo had no relations.h.i.+p with each other, she naturally wouldn’t choose to save her. If she was Ye Mo’s girlfriend, she would be her future in-law, and then she would definitely save her.
Ye Mo understood that his aunt was saying things on purpose. She definitely had a way to save Yao Yue but wanted them to admit the relations.h.i.+p that they shared. Having been through numerous life-and-death situations, they knew about each other’s feelings, but neither of them wanted to expose the other.
As for the Luosha King, she obviously knew about what was going on and wanted to help Ye Mo and Yao Yue reveal their feelings for each other.
“Luosha King, we’re merely friends. Please don’t be mistaken. If you can save me, do it. If not, I won’t press the issue.” Yao Yue knew Luosha King’s intentions as well. However, given her personality, she was obviously not going to admit anything.
“So it turns out you’re just friends?” The Luosha King wasn’t expecting a reply like that from Yao Yue. Somewhat confused, she said, “If that’s the case, Little Mo, change into a Luosha guard uniform, take my token, and leave. There is nothing I can do for this girl.”
Ye Mo immediately cast his glance towards Yao Yue and said anxiously, “Sister Yao Yue, staying alive is the priority now.”
Yao Yue stood there, silent.
“Girl, are you so unwilling to simply play along and make Auntie happy? I know that in your heart, you do have feelings for him. This kid is great, just like his father. If you don’t act now, there will be much better girls going after him in the future.”
After hearing her say that, Ye Mo’s eyes lit up. “Auntie, that’s how Sister Yao Yue is. By the way, how will both of us leave the Luosha Prison?” It appeared that Auntie was no longer trying to make their lives difficult.
“Leave? I didn’t agree to let the girl leave. If she wants to leave, the two of you have to prove your relations.h.i.+p.” The Luosha King frowned. She refused to believe that she couldn’t tame this girl.
“Brother Ye Mo, kiss her, hurry up and kiss her.” Inside his Energy Center, Ling’er smiled excitedly, ready to watch the show.
Left with no other choice, the anxious Ye Mo took Yao Yue into his arms, with Yao Yue still struck, wearing a puzzled expression. Slowly, Ye Mo planted his lips directly on Yao Yue’s delicate, smooth pair.
Yao Yue’s eyes widened, her mind completely empty, before completely indulging in the moment. While kissing her lips, Ye Mo’s teeth uncontrollably separated Yao Yue’s lips… After a long while, their lips parted.
Releasing Yao Yue from his embrace, Ye Mo asked the Luosha King, “Auntie, is this good enough?”
“Haha.” The Luosha King let out a few big laughs. With a wave of her arm, two Luosha guard uniforms appeared. “Mo’er, Yao Yue, change into these clothes and take my Luosha token, and you can leave the Luosha Prison.”
“If you release Yao Yue, what happens when the Empress comes after you?” Ye Mo asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry about what happens with the Empress. However, Yao Yue will no longer be allowed to return to the Qingyun League. Even the Tianwu Kingdom won’t be able to keep her.”
The Luosha King took a deep breath. “Now, there is no place that Yao Yue can stay in. If she still stays in the Tianwu Kingdom, not just Yao Yue, but I and her family may be pulled into this as well. Your only hope is to escape the Tianwu Kingdom.”
Upon hearing that, Ye Mo and Yao Yue were wildly shaken. “What? Escape from the Tianwu Kingdom?”
“Yes! Outside of the Tianwu Kingdom, there are countless other kingdoms. While it will be more dangerous for Yao Yue to escape the Tianwu Kingdom without any support and backing, it will be even more so for her to remain in the Tianwu Kingdom. Furthermore, escaping the Tianwu Kingdom represents a new opportunity,” the Luosha King said.
With what was going on, there was no way that the Emperor Faction would accept members of the Martial Faction. Leaving the Tianwu Kingdom represented a good chance to train.
“I understand. However, how do I leave the Tianwu Kingdom?”
Leaving was no easy feat; the Tianwu Kingdom had guards from the Chen Family protecting its borders. It was extremely difficult for the average fighter to leave.
“You’ll be able to do so if you bring my Luosha token with you. There’s not much time left. You two can leave now.”
Without hesitation, the two of them changed into their Luosha uniforms and put on their Luosha masks.
Before the two of them left the palace, Ye Mo placed his hands together and said to the Luosha King, “Auntie, take care!”
“Mo’er, this is the best I can do to help you!” A hint of determination flashed across the Luosha King’s eyes!
