Escape

Lianqing was eager to retrieve his Master's Sumeru Mustard Divine Power, but Shangguan Ru shook her head and refused. "This isn't the right time. We are not out of danger yet."

Lianqing's eyes widened. For a moment, he looked like a reckless bandit instead of a monk but he soon wrestled his temper back under control. "Please forgive me, young benefactress. Ever since my Master passed away… Let's get going."

This was an 'arranged' escape, so the first half of the plan went very smoothly. More than half of the soldiers had been transferred out, while the remaining guards had relaxed their vigilance and only had a few people standing on guard. Lianqing stroked their acupoints one by one and didn't alarm anyone. He called such a coincidence 'luck.'

Shangguan Ru didn't believe in luck. "We have to take the nuns away."

"What? How is that possible?" Lianqing's anxiety was on the verge of exploding.
