Chapter 2: A Duel Between Two People

  The border of Qi country is vast and wide, with a chilly wind whistling through, under the cold moon's reflection.

  Three ships are passing over the sea surface, and in the distance ahead, an island is hiding like a sea monster.

  "Ah yeah, is that Devil's Island up ahead?" a young man on the passenger ship asked.

  "Yes, be more careful next time you come here." The elder beside him cautioned.

  "Why? Are there hidden reefs there?"

  "That place is far more treacherous than the Dark Reef, Evil Island is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please. It's a forbidden land with countless mechanisms and heavy restrictions, solid as gold and iron, making it hard to fly in. Inside are all black armored guards, no one can rashly enter such a place."

  "Aye, why did that ship just pass by?" The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side, asking somewhat incredulously.

  The old man's gaze followed him and saw a warship speeding towards the direction of the Evil Man Island.

  After a while, he stared with his mouth agape and said: "That must be a big shot, an absolutely big shot."

  —*—*—*—

  On the ship, a man in white stood at the bow, wearing a hooded white cloak. His face was obscured by the shadow of his hat, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

  The man in white slowly turned his head, buttoned up the thick velvet cloak with jade buttons, and a white mist appeared on his lips with his breath, making his face hazy and dreamy, as if looking at flowers in the fog, or gazing at the moon in the water. His handsome and dreamy face was difficult to describe, and even more impossible to put into words.

  The lighthouse on the island looms in and out of the fog, like a ghost.

  The land is covered with snow and ice all year round, and the cold wind howls wildly.

  Outside the island of evil people stood countless guards, one of whom was General Wei, who was very humble at this time.

  Four black-robed guards were the first to land, with white snow fluttering in the air, like clouds and mist, drifting and sprinkling in the vast night sky.

  The man in white clothes and brocade walked behind, his toes lightly tapping, falling on the ground with an unparalleled lightness.

  "Honorable sir, I'm afraid we didn't come to greet you from afar." General Wei cupped his fists in greeting, and the guards behind him did the same, only the sound of dozens of armor scraping against each other could be heard.

  A man in white walked down from the ship, his hands slowly putting on his hat behind him, his eyebrows and eyes carrying a frosty icy elegance.

  When he saw his face clearly, General Wei was stunned.

  He's so handsome, she hadn't seen such a stunningly beautiful man in decades. The starry night sky was dazzling, but even the most beautiful constellations couldn't compare to this man's perfect face. Although he was still young, his demeanor was extraordinary. His long hair, as black as ink, was tied back with a white ribbon, and the rest of his hair fell behind his shoulders, with snowflakes clinging to the ends.

  He looks very indifferent, his eyes are like ice, and he is not easy to get close to.

  Sword-like eyebrows flying high, nose bridge straight and tall, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, like the calm and deep bottomless pool water, gazing forward with a tranquil gaze without any ripples.

  But every move has a noble and elegant, refined and extraordinary, calm and polite feeling.

  Who would have thought that such a handsome man was actually an extraordinary identity... Of course, the other party's true identity is only known to him alone.

  "By the way, young master has come from afar, what brings you here?" General Wei continued to ask.

  The man in white robes remained expressionless, "There is something important below, take me to the top floor of that prison tower."

  General Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking of the woman in the attic, and then respectfully invited him to enter, "Young master, please..."

  The walls on both sides of the prison were dark and damp, with iron gates on both sides, from which the miserable cries of prisoners being tortured could be heard from time to time.

  General Wei immediately took the man in white up layer by layer, finally entering the topmost level of the prison, where a chill once again surged forth.

  "It's right here." The guard stepped forward and opened the prison door.

  As soon as the gate opened, the candlelight inside was dim, and the white-clothed man's eyes were like dots of ink.

  However, inside the house was a completely different scene, stunning and unbelievable.

  The demon queen who was imprisoned inside had disappeared, and the bricks on the top floor showed obvious signs of being disturbed. There were many processed wood shavings on the ground, the bed was in disarray, everything was not covered up, and the people inside seemed to have left in a hurry.

  The man in white frowned, apparently someone had already taken the lead.

  "This... this..."

  General Wei's heart skipped a beat, his eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

  He found it unbelievable that the demon queen being held inside had suddenly vanished into thin air.

  He couldn't believe everything that was happening in front of him was all done by that demon girl?

  The man in white clothes walked thoughtfully inside, took a stroll around and swept his eyes over the room.

  His gaze soon fell on the water stain on the ground, which was a trace of ice melting into water.

  As for why a living person would suddenly disappear out of thin air? Ascend to heaven or enter the earth? Or is there some kind of magic that deceives the eyes?

  But what can escape his eyes? The white-clothed man's expression gradually became solemn, and faint footsteps came from the other side of the corridor. He looked at the corridor with a blank expression, several gray-headed soldiers standing at the staircase mouth, each struggling to carry heavy buckets, walking towards the doors of various cells in the corridor.

  "General Taibei, who are they?" The man in white walked out of the house with a calm pace.

  "They are all working as miscellaneous soldiers, and at this time they are usually busy with work." The general soldier hastily replied.

  "Oh?" The man in white robes looked thoughtful for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward to stop the crowd. "Please put down your affairs, I have something to ask you all."

  "Yes." The crowd immediately stopped their work in hand.

  "What are you doing here?"

  "We are here to deliver food and water to the prisoners, sir." The little guards wiped their faces with their sleeves, revealing a layer of black grime.

  "Can you see any suspicious people?" The man in white clothes spoke with a cold tone, calm and authoritative.

  "We have been working and haven't seen anything." The crowd replied.

  "Look up!"

  Several little soldiers looked up at the man in white, each with a dirty face and a bewildered gaze.

  The man in white slowly swept his gaze over everyone and said, "Hold out your palms."

  Xiaobingwei looked at each other in dismay, put down the water bucket in his hand, and slowly stretched out his hand.

  Before he could finish speaking, one of the little soldiers guarding him suddenly turned around and in a flash appeared behind the man.

  In an instant, a cold light flashed, and an icy blade was already across his throat.

  The man in white did not move again. He felt that the hand under his neck was very slippery, very fragrant and very soft, without any calluses, but holding a sharp object.

  It happened suddenly, this time the hijacking was without warning, swift and ruthless. Who would have thought that the previously dazed and confused little soldier would suddenly take such action, exposing her identity with just a pair of hands.

  The man in white clothes looked at him sideways and said slowly: "You are not a local."

  The little guard said in a low voice: "Young master, why ask what you already know?"

  The man in white suddenly discovered that the dazed and confused little soldier was actually a woman. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, with dirty black ash smeared on her cheeks, her eyelashes were dense and long, hiding icy cold glints below, exuding a hint of seductiveness and cruelty, piercing his heart.

  This result is indeed unexpected. He has lived for over 20 years, and still no one dares to put a dagger to his throat. It's really... quite interesting.

  "Wait a minute...... You're actually......" Sōbei had already guessed her identity, and couldn't believe that the other party would do something so brazen.

  She was obviously the woman in the heart of the third prince, and would probably take her back after a few days. Why did he have to risk everything?

  No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why she had to do this.

  At this moment, Su Mo pulled the man in white to the front of the door and said coldly, "Let the guards retreat."

  "Bold bandit, put down your weapon." The surrounding guards did not retreat, they were all seasoned Black Armor Guards, how could they be threatened by a woman?

  "Everyone, it's better if you step aside, my Ice Blade doesn't discriminate."

  Su Mo's icy blade pointed at the white-clothed man's collar, his wrist slightly tilted, and with a "zip" sound, the man's collar emitted a tearing sound of silk, and the man's luxurious white fur coat had been cut open for three inches.

  The guards surrounding Su Mo stopped in their tracks upon hearing the sound of the torn fabric.

  They raised their eyes to look at the man in white, the icy blade already pressed against his skin, drawing a trail of blood. The bright red blood flowed down his neck, and it seemed that with just a slight tremble, she would cut through the man's throat. The man's cold, icy eyes remained calm, unhurriedly saying: "Miss, have you acted impulsively? This place is full of mechanisms, making it hard to fly away. Why do you want to cross swords with me?"

  "Of course, you'll be taken as a hostage."

  Her gaze swept across the crowd, coldly saying: "Let them put down their weapons and quickly retreat, let us go to the top floor's warehouse."

  General Wei's eyes were fixed tightly on her, his face changing color.

  Roof? Why not leave by boat?

  The attendants thought this woman must have gone mad?

  Is she going to jump down and die with the young master? That would be too absurd.

  "Get out of the way." The man in white clothes still had a cold expression, and seeing this, everyone even felt that he was intentionally pretending to be a hostage.

  "Do as the young master says!" General Wei immediately responded with a wave of his hand, and the surrounding guards put down their weapons and slowly retreated. The four black-clad men behind him then parted to the left and right, clearing a wide path.
