In the dark dungeon, on the damp ground, blood and water were mixed together.The prison smelled of blood and putrefaction, and a few mice were running around on the weeds.

Xue Yan disgustedly picked up a white handkerchief embroidered with a peony flower and covered her nose, and walked lightly into the depths of the dungeon with lotus steps.

Inside the dungeon, a woman was tied to a wooden post in a large font.There were scars all over her body, and blood dripped drop by drop from her hanging fingertips.Her head hung to one side, as if dead.

Xue Yan winked at the man holding the instrument of torture, and the man knowingly picked up a bucket of water and poured it all over the woman.

"Ah!" The woman raised her head and let out a miserable scream, it was actually Lu Rao who had escaped.Her whole body curled up violently, and the rope and pillar creaked.The pain of the wound splashed by salt water intensified, and the nerve endings were strongly stimulated.

When Lu Rao was numb from the pain and had no strength to cry out, her whole body had softened and was supported by the rope tied to her body.

"Do you know it's wrong?" Xue Yan smiled sweetly, forcing her to raise her head, and gently pinned the messy hair around her face behind her ears with her right hand, revealing her paper-white face without a trace of blood.

Lu Rao opened a slit of her eyes, and when her eyes met the smiling Xue Yan, her face showed fear, she closed her eyes in despair, her trembling lips began to sob, "My lord, Lu Rao...know...wrong."

"What are you crying for?" Xue Yan frowned her willow-leaf eyebrows, her Qiushui eyes were full of heartache and wiped away the tears she shed from the corners of her eyes.

Lu Rao shook her head again and again to avoid Xue Yan's hand, and the defense line in her heart collapsed into a puddle of mud when she saw Xue Yan.How terrifying Xue Yan is, no one knows better than her, she broke down in tears, "Lu Rao really knew that she was wrong, she was really wrong..."

Seeing this, Xue Yan felt even more distressed, hugging Lu Rao, who was covered in blood, stroking her head and comforting her with tears streaming down her face:

"Siyan doesn't cry, mother is here."

"Just say that your sad mother can touch your head."

"I'll give you whatever you want." Xue Yan burst into tears while talking, "Siyan! My Siyan, my daughter..."

Lu Rao stopped crying, looked at Xue Yan who was holding her in fear, and said tremblingly, "My lord... I am... Lu Rao!"

Xue Yan's painful crying stopped abruptly, and when she let go of Lu Rao, she slapped her backhand

.

Four red fingerprints immediately appeared on the pale face, which became swollen after a while, showing how ruthless the perpetrator was.Lu Rao swallowed the blood that was about to spit out, and lowered her head in hatred.

"Of course I know who you are." Xue Yan had a gloomy face, completely unable to tell that it was her who was crying bitterly just now.

Xue Yan picked up a long whip, and the whip flew across the air and landed hard on Lu Rao with a sound of '咻'.

"Is this how you do things for me?"

Lu Rao let out a muffled snort, gritting her teeth tightly.She was splashed with salt water all over her body, and her skin was torn apart by the whip, which was very painful.

"You useless thing!" After the words fell, he threw the whip over again.Xue Yan's face was replaced by viciousness, and who knew that the seemingly weak Prime Minister of the Left could swing his long whip with such vigor.

Xue Yan was furious when he found out about the death gate.That is the person she spent a lot of money to cultivate, to remove stumbling blocks for her, and to inquire about the news.The door of death is equivalent to the left arm of her right arm. Without the door of death, she will lose a lot of help.What made her more concerned was, who were those six people?There were more than 50 people at the gate of death, and just six people wiped out the gate of death.

And how much do those people know about her plan?This happened, and she might have been noticed.For this reason, she stopped all plans, and she was about to succeed.

After Lu Rao came back, she didn't dare to tell Xue Yan what method she used to buy time for her to escape.If Xue Yan knew that she had given up all her life at the gate of death and dragged the six people to escape by herself, she would have died without bones left.Now, at least she still has a chance.

Xue Yan whipped Lu Rao again and again, and the tattered clothes hung on Lu Rao's body. Even if the clothes were not covered, all that was exposed were blood-stained wounds.

During the whole process, Lu Rao didn't let out a scream because she couldn't bear the pain, and she didn't beg for mercy. She knew that all she could do now was to grit her teeth, clenched her fists, and tense her whole body to bear the pain that Xue Yan brought her. , Enduring Xue Yan's anger.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Yan threw away the whip in his hand.Panting heavily, he sat on a chair and rubbed his sore shoulders.

Lu Rao opened her eyes and spat out a blood-red tooth.She knew that she survived.

"The subordinates may have guessed...who those people are."

"Speak." Xue Yan took a sip of the tea handed over by the servant.

"Jiang Jinxiao." This was what she had always suspected.When she was caught by Jiang Jinxiao, although the other party covered his face, but the eyes that were exposed, she couldn't think of anyone else who could have such a pair of sharp phoenix eyes.

"Hahahaha..." Xue Yan laughed loudly, his shoulders kept shaking.The warm tea in the teacup in her hand overflowed and spilled on her body, she wiped it off with a handkerchief indifferently.

"Jiang Jinxiao, Huaiyi's son! He is a talented person, just like his father." She looked gentle, as if recalling the past.

"You said before that the Ecstasy Building is a base for Wuyuan."

"Yes, only a few people in the Jianghu know about this." Lu Rao was ordered to investigate the Ecstasy Tower before, and after the investigation, the Ecstasy Tower was indeed not simple.

This Xiaohun building was originally run by a rich man named Gu, and the Gu mansion behind the Xiaohun building is the residence of the owner of the Xiaohun building.But later, the old man surnamed Gu wanted to return to his hometown to retire, so he sold the Xiaohun building and the Gu residence behind it.Lu Rao couldn't find out who bought the Ecstasy Building, but found out another big thing.Tianyuan, the number one assassination organization in Jianghu, has a base in the Ecstasy Building.As long as the money is paid and Tianyuan takes the order, there is no one they can't kill.

Xue Yan smiled, "Looks like someone has to bring money to visit the Rapture Tower some other day."

Xue Yan wanted Tianyuan's people to kill Jiang Jinxiao. Although she knew that Xue Yan would get rid of Jiang Jinxiao sooner or later, but he was her friend's son, so she didn't feel guilty at all?Thinking of Lu Rao coughing a few times, bringing out a few streaks of blood, coughing and affecting the wounds on her body, she suddenly suffered terribly.

"Let her down quickly." Xue Yan hurriedly ran to Lu Rao's side to untie the rope for her, and the servants at the side also ran over in a hurry.

Xue Yan lovingly hugged Lu Rao who had fallen to the ground, and gently touched a welt on her right cheek.Lu Rao dodged Xue Yan's hand in horror, Xue Yan quickly withdrew his hand trembling, thinking it hurt her.

"How did this happen? Lu Rao..."

Feeling the tears dripping down her face, Lu Rao couldn't help shedding tears again, but she didn't dare to say anything, fearing that Xue Yan would turn into that crazy and fierce person again in the next second.

Lu Rao, who had fainted, recalled Xue Yan's previous appearance, the former adult, who was so gentle...

How many years ago was that, Lu Rao can't remember clearly.She only remembered that she was seven years old at that time, and her parents were both loyal servants of the Xue family, but her parents left when she was seven years old.

What a beautiful woman that is!Little Lu Rao couldn't help staring blankly.Her smile was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, blowing away the pain in her heart.She squatted beside her, her eyes were as gentle as water.

"What a lovely little girl!" she said, holding her muddy little face.

"What's your name?"

"Lu Rao." She said flattered, her smile seemed to have magic power, and her mother always smiled at her so kindly.

"Siyan." Xue Yan turned around and called out to a cute girl who was about the same age as Lu Rao.

"Mother~" Xue Siyan stretched out her small hand and took Xue Yan's hand coquettishly.

"From now on! You are good friends now. Get along well!" Xue Yan pulled Xue Siyan to Lu Rao's side, and said kindly.

"My mother, I will get along well with her."

Lu Rao became Xue Siyan's playmate, but Xue Siyan was well-behaved and sensible in front of her mother, but she was extremely domineering behind her back.

Xue Siyan looked down on Lu Rao's lowly status and often bullied her, let alone played with her.

Once, she hit Lu Rao, but Lu Rao dodged and fell to the ground by herself.

Xue Siyan was injured, and Lu Rao was terrified.Xue Siyan really blamed her head, the master had an accident, and the innocent ones were their servants.

"It's okay, Lu Rao, Siyan just accidentally fell, don't worry." Xue Yan didn't blame her, but comforted her.Although she is small, she can still feel it.

Xue Yan will make clothes for her, bandage her wounds when she is injured, teach her how to read, and even tell her that she can be treated as a mother... Although these things will cause dissatisfaction and bullying for the young lady, as long as She looked at the amiable Xue Yan, and Lu Rao was not afraid of anything.She thought that Xue Yan was a living Bodhisattva in the sky, who came to save herself.

When Lu Rao was ten years old, Xue Yan's husband passed away unfortunately.Lu Rao didn't know what death was, she only knew that that person was just like her parents, it was impossible to come back.

In those few days, Xue Yan was very sad... Lu Rao did not see a beautiful smile on her face, and she was also very sad because of this.

After a few days, Xue Yan's eyes were red and swollen, but she still smiled gently.She held Xue Siyan who was crying all the time in her arms and whispered softly: "Don't cry Siyan, daddy is gone, mother will take good care of you."

Lu Rao smiled because she saw Xue Yan smiling.

That incident was like a small twist, a small episode, and it was over when it passed.Xue Yan was still as amiable as ever, and the servants in the mansion liked her very much.Their masters will not vent their anger on them, beating and scolding them at will, but caring for them.

All this changed when Lu Rao was 12 years old.The queen overthrew Emperor Long Yuan, and Xue Yan, who had been friends with the queen since childhood, made great progress.However, Xue Yan has changed, her smile is no longer gentle, but with madness and resentment...

She was weak and began to practice martial arts, and Lu Rao was also forced to learn martial arts by a man.

If you practice well, Xue Yan will encourage and pat Lu Rao on the head. That is the only time when Lu Rao feels Xue Yan is gentle.If she doesn't practice well, she will beat her very angrily without mercy.

Lu Rao began to practice martial arts hard every day, just for Xue Yan's short moment of encouragement.

It's just that Xue Yan's encouragement became less and less... and her love for Xue Yan, after more than ten years, turned into--hate.
