Xiao Juan secretly tightened his grip on the No Return Saber at his waist and was on guard.

As long as Wei Liao called for help, he would immediately attack.

Although he was seriously injured now and it was very disadvantageous for him to tight head-on, at this point, he could only go all out. It did not matter it he died. At least he had to send Niaoniao safely out of the city. Yu Niaoniao’s heart was in her throat, and her body trembled slightly.

Now, both their lives were all on Wei Liao.

What would he do?

With his disgust for Xiao Juan, he would definitely not let go of such a great opportunity to kill Xiao Juan.

And her. She had never treated Wei Liao well. Wei Liao wouldn’t disobey the Crown Prince’s orders for her sake, right?

Liu Sixing’s limbs went weak and she could barely stand.

There was only one thought in her mind now— Oh no!

Duke Lang and his wife had been discovered. They were all finished!

In comparison, Liu Qirui was still relatively calm.

He still had the last hope that Wei Liao would let them off.

Although Wei Liao usually looked like he did not care about anything and often quarreled with Yu Niaoniao, and the two of them did not seem to get along, Wei Liao was also a part of the reason why Qirui Opera Troupe could make a comeback.

With Wei Liao’s wealth and status, he probably wouldn’t care about the income of a small opera troupe.

He could only be willing to help for Yu Niaoniao.

Pushing aside his pretenses, it was hard to tell what he was thinking about Yu Niaoniao.

Liu Qirui just wanted to take a gamble.

In any case, he had no better choice in the current situation. The worst outcome was death. He might as well take a gamble.

If they were lucky enough to win the bet, they would all be able to leave the Imperial Capital alive.

However, if he lost, at least he could take this opportunity to deny that he and his daughter did not know the situation in the coffin. He might even be able to save their lives.

Liu Qirui carefully raised his head and observed the change in Wei Liao’s expression, secretly guessing what he was thinking.

Wei Liao placed one hand on the coffin and his gaze wandered to Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan’s faces before finally landing on Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao was really too nervous. Tears rolled down her face.

Crystal tears rolled silently down the corners of her eyes.

Wei Liao’s fingers tapped the coffin gently, again and again. His face was thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

A Sky Wolf Guard tried to ask, “Sir, is there anything unusual in the coffin? Do you want me to open the whole coffin and examine them carefully?” Wei Liao suddenly smiled at Yu Niaoniao and retracted his hand. “There’s only the body in the coffin. It stinks. Cover it up.”

Hearing this, Liu Qirui hurriedly closed the coffin lid as if he had been pardoned.

At the same time, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan in the coffin heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Sixing was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She resisted the urge to laugh and said in a choked voice, “Thank you, sir. Thank you!”

Wei Liao sat back in his chair, leaned back, and waved his hand. “Hurry up and leave. Don’t block the way.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll leave now.”

Liu Qirui lifted the coffin with his three disciples and hurried through the city gate.

The Sky Wolf Guards continued to interrogate the commoners behind the team.

Wei Liao supported his chin with one hand and quietly looked in the direction the funeral procession had left. His thin lips were slightly parted as he muttered in a low voice.

“You didn’t even thank me. You heartless thing.”

The funeral procession walked for a long time. After confirming that there were no pursuers behind them, Liu Qirui and the others slowed down.

They found a moment when no one was looking and ducked into the forest beside them.

Under the cover of the trees, Liu Qirui and Liu Sixing opened the coffin lid.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan could finally come out of the depressed coffin.

Liu Sixing pressed her chest and looked like she had lingering fears. “I was really scared to death just now. I almost thought I was going to die here today.”

Liu Qirui echoed, ‘Yes, yes. Fortunately, we’re all safe and sound.”

He realized that Duke Lang was looking at him with a deeper meaning and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his thoughts had been discovered by Duke Lang?

He didn’t dare say, let alone ask, so he lowered his head guiltily.

In the end, Xiao Juan did not mention what had just happened. He said calmly, “Thank you for your help today, but the Imperial Court will definitely not stop chasing me. If you still act with me, it’s very likely that even you will be wanted. Why don’t we part ways here and meet again in the future?”

Liu Sixing hurriedly said, “How can that do? How can we disregard you for our own safety?”

Yu Niaoniao first glanced at Liu Qirui before saying.

“Sixing, if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for your father. He’s too old to hide with us.”

Liu Sixing was immediately speechless.

Her father only had her as his daughter. She had to consider her father’s well-being.

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “When there’s a chance in the future, you can come to Liaodong County to perform. At that time I’ll treat you to delicious food!” Liu Sixing pursed her lower lip, feeling very guilty. “I’m sorry, I..

Yu Niaoniao said, “There’s no need to say this. I helped you before. Now that you’ve helped me, we’re even. We’ll part ways today. Everyone, take care.”

Liu Sixing said reluctantly, “Take care too.”

When the two sides separated.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan carried their luggage along the mountain path.

They chatted as they hurried.

Yu Niaoniao said, “When we were interrogated at the city gate just now, Liu

Qirui probably wanted to sell Wei Liao a favor.”

Xiao Juan said, “You can tell too. Don’t you hate him?”

Yu Niaoniao shook her head and said, “I’m disappointed. I don’t hate him to that extent. After all, in a situation where life and death are at stake, normal people will prioritize themselves. Moreover, he’s a father. He definitely doesn’t want his daughter to lose her life.”

Xiao Juan had the same thoughts.

Although he could not accept it, he could understand.

Yu Niaoniao smiled at him. “You deliberately suggested leaving separately because you don’t trust Liu Qirui, right? YOu’re afraid that he’ll sell us out again.”

Xiao Juan replied indifferently, “Yes.”

Since he had already seen that Liu Qirui was unreliable, he naturally would not keep this hidden danger by his side.

It was safer to send him away early.

Yu Niaoniao stretched. “That’s good too. Only the two of us are left.

Seeing her relaxed appearance, she did not look like she was on the run. Instead, she looked like she was on an outing.

Xiao Juan could not help but sigh. “You’re really carefree.”

Yu Niaoniao corrected him. “This is not being carefree. This is being optimistic! Anyway, things have already come to this. It’s meaningless to be sad. I might as well calm down and accept everything in front of me..”
