Xie Yunjin immediately responded, and Lu Jiao quietly took out the sleeping pills. She prepared to drug the opponent once Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu successfully get the children away. Then, she will take him into her space.

She couldn’t drug Xie Yunjin and take him into her space before Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu rescued the children. If she did that, the opponents might become furious and harm the Second Born and Han Nanfeng.

The people in black on the opposite side waved their hands, and their subordinates behind them released the two children.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao slowly walked forward. Suddenly, two figures shot out from behind the tall trees behind the people in black like whirlwinds, moving as fast as shooting stars. One of them rushed towards the Second Born and Han Nanfeng, catching them in their arms.

The other person went straight towards the people in black, their figure turning into a blur as they attacked with a deadly move.

Lu Jiao saw the Second Born and Han Nanfeng being taken away and felt relieved. She quickly turned around to drug Xie Yunjin.

Unexpectedly, a long arrow, as fast as a shooting star, flew towards Xie Yunjin in the dark night. In the darkness, Li Nantian shouted, “Be careful, Master!”

As Li Nantian spoke, he threw a stone, aiming at the arrow. The stone hit the arrow, deflecting its direction elsewhere.

But immediately after, a second arrow was shot. The second arrow collided with the first arrow, causing the first arrow to change its direction once again, heading straight toward Lu Jiao.

Li Nantian’s face changed drastically as he yelled, “Madam, be careful!”

Xie Yunjin quickly turned around and saw the arrow flying toward Lu Jiao. Without hesitation, he reached out and embraced her. The arrow hit him in the left shoulder, its force sending both of them flying. They landed on the mountain path and rolled down to the bottom of the mountain.

However, after just two rolls, there was a loud noise beneath them as if a mechanism had been activated. The place where they fell suddenly became empty, and the two of them tightly clung to each other, falling into a dark passage.

Above their heads, the mechanism closed in an instant.

Everything happened too quickly, and the people were completely caught off guard. On the mountain, Ruan Kai, Ruan Zhu, and others exclaimed, “Master,

Madam!”

The Second Born and Han Nanfeng were terrified and cried loudly.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao landed with a thud in the secret passage from above.

Inside the passage, they couldn’t see their hands in front of their faces. It was pitch-black all around.

Although they couldn’t see each other, Lu Jiao smelled the strong scent of blood in the air. She thought about how Xie Yunjin risked his life to save her, and her heart became chaotic.

She reached out and touched the person beside her, only to feel a sticky substance. Without surprise, it was Xie Yunjin’s blood.

Lu Jiao panicked and called out, “Xie Yunjin, are you okay? Are you okay?”

In the darkness, Xie Yunjin’s weak voice sounded, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

As he spoke, he reached out for her hand. He then firmly held onto it. “Lu Jiao, can you promise me one thing? If we can successfully get out of here, can you stay by my side with our children and not leave?

I may not be good enough, but I will strive to become a good husband. I only hope that you can stay with me. Is that okay?”

Upon hearing Xie Yunjin’s words and thinking about everything he had done for her recently, Lu Jiao’s mind became a mess. She realized that she had been aware of everything Xie Yunjin had done for her, but she was no longer the same person she used to be.

In the darkness, Lu Jiao suddenly summoned great courage and softly spoke, “Xie Yunjin, if I tell you that I am not the original Lu Jiao, but just a soul from another world, would you believe me?”

Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao’s words and immediately smiled and replied, “Believe you? Why wouldn’t I believe you? I have known for a long time that you are not her.”

This time, Lu Jiao was astonished, and she turned her head toward the direction of darkness. “You are telling me that you knew I wasn’t her a long time ago.”

“Yes, I knew it a long time ago. I realized it shortly after you arrived here. That’s why I accepted you. If you were the original her, I wouldn’t have accepted you. Of course, the original her wouldn’t have been as good as you either. ”

Xie Yunjin’s voice grew weaker as he spoke, but he gritted his teeth to persist in order to hear a definite answer from Lu Jiao.

“Lu Jiao, can you promise me to stay by our side with the children?”

Lu Jiao murmured, “I always feel like I’ve taken her place and shouldn’t take anything else from her.”

Xie Yunjin, upon hearing her words, struggled and spoke, “No, you haven’t taken anything. Neither I nor the children belonged to her. Truly, if it weren’t for your arrival, we would have driven her away and acted against her. So, both I and the children belong to you, not her.”

As Xie Yunjin finished speaking, he tightly held Lu Jiao’s hand.

“Lu Jiao, can you promise me to stay with us?”

Lu Jiao thought about her wishes from her previous life, which were to find someone who would love and cherish her. Although Xie Yunjin might not be perfect, men like him were rare in this era. He promised not to take concubines, to care for the children, and to strive to be a good husband. Wasn’t he the person she was looking for?

However, Lu Jiao realized that this was a , and in the book, Xie Yunjin had a wife. Would he eventually be influenced by the plot of the book and accept that woman? What should she do then?

But she wasn’t willing to let go of such a person. To Xie Yunjin, she was never the person in the – he was seeing the true version of herself.

“Xie Yunjin, I don’t know if we are suitable for each other, but I have decided to give you a chance. Let’s set a time limit of one and a half years. If during that time we find that we are well-suited for each other, we can be together.” The time Lu Jiao gave coincided with the time after Xie Yunjin’s arrival in the Capital City. If Xie Yunjin wasn’t influenced by the plot of the book after he arrived in the Capital City and if they were compatible, then they would be together.

Although Xie Yunjin wasn’t completely satisfied with Lu Jiao’s words, he was still happy. At least Lu Jiao didn’t outright reject him. She gave him a timeframe, and that was good enough.

After Xie Yunjin felt happy, his body swayed, and he immediately fell unconscious.

Lu Jiao felt the weight on her shoulder and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Xie

Yunjin, are you alright? Are you alright?”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the incident of drugging Xie Yunjin earlier. So, Xie Yunjin’s unconsciousness was likely not due to being shot by an arrow but because of the drug, she had given him.

She decided to take him into the space first and treat his arrow wound.

Just as Lu Jiao was about to bring Xie Yunjin into her space, a strange smell surged through the dark secret passage. With a little recognition, she realized that the smell in the secret passage was poisonous.

What does this mean? It means that they were led into the secret passage by the other party..
