I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Luo Shiqi had to close his eyes tightly. He tried to use his magic perception to confirm Rujing's location, but the noisy sound of the mirror shattering kept coming to his ears, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

How to solve the current situation?

The silk threads surrounding him could largely block Rujing's attacks, but it was easy to make mistakes in this situation and be defeated on the spot.

"Am I seeing right? That woman... Lady Rujing actually has the upper hand!" The members of the Knights who were watching the battle from the periphery were exposed to relatively weaker light, so they could see clearly what was happening by slightly blocking the light from the mirror.

No one expected that Ru Jing, a civil servant who was busy dealing with all the affairs of Liuguang City all day long, actually had such ability.

Even the Knights' big brother Echo could only barely hold his own, but she actually suppressed Luo Shiqi from the very beginning!

At this moment, the others seemed to understand why Mushu was so obsessed with Rujing.

She is capable of managing the affairs of an entire town, and she is also capable of fighting against the strongest magician in the kingdom. She looks weak, but how can she be so powerful?

Her only shortcoming is that she is too perfect!

Mushu really wanted to appreciate Rujing's charming figure at this moment, but Luo Shiqi was unable to capture his position, so he randomly released silver threads, which shattered the void barrier he had set up.

"This guy, is he doing this on purpose?" Muxu felt so bitter in his heart. Why should he have to frantically repair the barrier while others can fully appreciate Rujing's handsome side?

Although large-scale indiscriminate attacks were a bit desperate, it had to be said that they were indeed useful and caused Rujing considerable trouble.

She had no way to break Luo Shiqi's defense, so she could only look for flaws carefully. As a result, she was shot at crazily, and dodging like crazy was almost killing her.

Just at this moment, Luo Shiqi seized the opportunity to adjust!

"Misty Starry River!" He played the flute, and a familiar melody emerged in his mind - it was the song sung by Zhong Ling Shengyin.

Somehow, my restless heart calmed down, and the position of the mirror became clearer and clearer.

The surrounding silk threads flew towards her. Ru Jing knew that there was no chance to suppress Luo Shiqi anymore, so she quickly retreated.

Wait, Seventeen, that's——" At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the field.

Luo Shiqi closed his eyes and could only find Rujing's location through magic detection.

And behind her was the sculpture of the Devil Hall.

The Holy Sound Bell Tower is extremely solid. No matter how powerful the destructive magic is, it cannot shake it in the slightest. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the strongest fortress in the world.

However, there was an exception, and that was Luo Shiqi, who broke the seal of the angel sculpture and opened the passage to Renas's tomb, and was filled with surprises everywhere.

If it is true as Mushu said, that the Angel Hall and the Demon Hall have similar designs, then something unexpected will happen.

As expected, the thread failed to track Rujing, but hit the sculpture directly.

A "click" sound was heard, and Manjushage felt something was wrong.

Countless tiny cracks appeared on the sculpture, and the shattering sounds became louder and louder. Even Luo Shiqi and Rujing, who were fighting, stopped casting magic and could not help but be attracted by this sudden change.

The scene seemed familiar, and Luo Shiqi's face suddenly became gloomy.

Coincidentally, the strong light released by Rujing was right above the sculpture, making it difficult not to notice it.

All eyes were on the sculpture.

A dazzling white light flashed, and the surface of the sculpture turned into powder and fell off completely. As expected, there was indeed a person hidden inside.

He was a slender, handsome young man with gray hair.

"Catch him quickly!" Manjushage hurriedly looked at Doyle, but found that his hand, which was about to release magic, stopped in mid-air, and he looked in the direction of the young man with a dull expression.

It’s not his fault. After all, the gray-haired boy jumped lightly from the base of the sculpture and landed perfectly in front of everyone!

“Ghost! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh——” Manjushage and Rujing shouted loudly with pale faces.

Shouldn't there be a corpse sealed inside the sculpture? How did it come back to life?

Others were not so surprised, but they just couldn't understand why there was a person in the sculpture.

Is this a special hobby?

Most of the time it's this kind of doubt.

The gray-haired boy opened his eyes. He had handsome features but an indifferent expression that made people feel awe.

He quickly looked around, and when he saw Luo Shiqi, his tired eyes suddenly lit up: "Xi, why are you here?"

Then, he looked around again as if he was searching for something, his expression visibly lost: "Where is this? Am I back to the corridor of time and space? Liuguang is not here..."

"My name is not Xi, I'm Luo Shiqi." Luo Shiqi said, "You just mentioned Liuguang, is it Liuguang Yangcaique? She passed away four hundred years ago?"

Everyone else was confused and asked among themselves for a long time before they found out that the person they were talking about was the first leader of this place, Liu Guang Yang Cai Que.

"Luo Shiqi? I've never heard of that name... but you are indeed Xi, no doubt about that. No, you are missing half of your aura." The gray-haired boy said, "Let's not talk about that for now. You don't seem surprised to see me. Have you seen the things in the sculptures in the Angel Hall?"

Luo Shiqi seemed a little hesitant. He looked at Manjushage for help, at a loss.

"Sorry, can this competition be interrupted first?" Manjushage looked at Luo Shiqi to comfort her, indicating that she would handle the next matters.

She looked at Muxu: "This gentleman has some hidden secrets, so he needs Luo Shiqi to accompany him."

"I understand." Muxu announced loudly in a booming voice: "Luo Shiqi vs. Rujing, a draw!"

"Draw, it's actually a draw!"

"Oh my god, Lord Rujing is so strong! He is the strongest magician in the kingdom, and yet we can even fight him!"

"My goodness, this girl didn't join the Knights, otherwise we wouldn't have any chance of survival."

Ru Jing conquered everyone with her strength, and the Knights looked at her with full admiration in their eyes.

One even blurted out "I would be willing to die if I could marry such an outstanding woman", which soon attracted Mushu's cold gaze with murderous intent.

"The Knights' training for today ends here. Remember to rest early." He walked to Rujing, his eyes gentle as if he was caring for a fragile flower. Unfortunately, anyone who had seen Rujing's appearance just now knew that she was not delicate at all.

"Sorry, I don't plan to rest too early tonight." Ru Jing shook her head.

"Why?" Mushu asked her with a frown.

"I would like to invite you to attend the celebration of the Blessing Festival." Rujing raised her head and her shy eyes met his tender eyes.

"W-what-?" Mushu was so surprised that he was speechless.

Did I hear it right? She just said she wanted to invite me, the kind where we can go out and play together under the dim lights?

"Congratulations, Captain."

"You've gone one step further."

"I finally fell in love with a lady, how come she was snatched away by the leader in the blink of an eye?"

The members of the Knights Templar were either congratulating or envious, and were very interested in this scene.

Only the echo silently drove everyone away: "The training is over, let's go play."

Having said that, he pushed them out by force regardless of everyone's wishes.

After a while, all the knights except Mushu left.

"Why, you don't want to?" Rujing looked a little frustrated.

She had finally mustered up the courage to invite Mushu in front of so many people, fearing that she would be rejected if she approached him in private. Little did she know that her pitiful appearance had already touched Mushu's heart, and he even felt as if his soul had ascended to heaven.

"I'll go!" Muxu seemed very excited, but they both still had duties to attend to. He also remembered that Rujing wanted to find Manjushage just now, so he turned to the others and said, "Then wait until she finishes dealing with your affairs--"

As soon as I said this, I realized that Manjushage and the others had disappeared.
