r to mobilize the Hall of Scouts of the Bai Family just for Lu Li. To send a message to Xu Chen was a gesture grand enough.

Chief Steward Bai bowed and left after he figured it out. Madam Yan let him go without evening looking at him. When Chief Steward Bai was gone, Madam Yan picked up a goblet, shook it, gazed into the north and said to herself, "Lu Li, you don’t want to join the Bai Family and you have the guts to leave the Thousand-island Lake. I want to see if you can make it this time."

"Grandpa Seven, what should we do?"

Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven were teleported back. They rushed towards the Heaven Prison City. On their way, Liu Yi said anxiously, "I don’t think Madam Yan is willing to offer a hand."

Patriarch Seven looked gloomy. He said with a sigh, "What else can we do? The only family of the Thousand-island Lake that can stand a chance to fight against the Yu Family is the Bai Family. If Madam Yan didn’t want to help, then even G.o.d can’t save Lu Li now. Let’s hope that he will not be noticed by the Yu Family."

"Ah…"

The light in Liu Yi’s eyes died down. She was wondering what would become of the Liu Family if Lu Li died. At least without the animal tooth pendant, it would be hard for the Liu Family to grow quality Blood Caterpillar Fruits, Netherworld Roots or the Fire Fairy Ganoderma.

It looked as if Lu Li had offended many people. Once Lu Li was gone, would they all vent their anger on the Liu Family? The Liu Family was most likely to turn into ashes in an instant judging by their puny power.

While Liu Yi was wandering off into wild flights of ideas, they had reached the gate of the Heaven Prison City. As the two walked out of the city, there happened to be a carriage rus.h.i.+ng by.

The carriage was a fancy one, being pulled by two handsome stallions. Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi were engaged in their thoughts so they didn’t notice. They were almost b.u.mped by the carriage.

"Whoosh~"

Luckily, Patriarch Seven came to his senses in the end and he dragged Liu Yi aside. Liu Yi stared into the carriage, wondering who was that rus.h.i.+ng on so quickly. Was the person trying to kill a man?

"Hiss, hiss~"

The carriage stopped suddenly. The curtain was lifted. A pretty face as delicate as china emerged. She looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Aren’t you the ones working for Lu Li? What are you doing here?"

Bai Xiashuang!

One look and Liu Yi’s anger was gone. On second thoughts, she believed that the only one who dared to run around in a carriage like this in the Heaven Prison City would be this spoiled young lady.

"Shuang-er, what is it?"

A gentle voice came out. Bai Qiuxue seemed to be in the carriage as well. Patriarch Seven and Liu Yi looked at each other. Their eyes kindled as they remembered that Lu Li had saved the twins’ lives in the Tomb of the Dragon King. Could they perhaps ask the twins for help?

Patriarch Seven was clever despite his advanced ages. He looked at the guardsmen outside of the city, cupped his fists to the twins and said, "I am Liu Rufeng. Greetings, Lady Xiashuang, Lady Qiuxue. We are here to send a message from Island Owner. But… it is not a good place to talk here."

Bai Xiashuang’s face vanished in the carriage. An identical and astonis.h.i.+ng face appeared. She looked at Liu Yi and said, "Let this young lady onboard and we can talk."

Liu Yi was overjoyed. She boarded the carriage. Bai Xiashuang even asked the wheeler to turn around and went back to the city. Patriarch Seven followed them along the way.

"Plop!"

As soon as she went into the cabin, Liu Yi knelt down to Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue. She begged anxiously, "Please save our Island Owner. If you don’t help, he will die!"

"Eh?"

The cabin was very s.p.a.cious. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were sitting on the couch with their legs crossed, sipping tea leisurely. Upon hearing the words from Liu Yi, the expressions of the twins changed. Bai Qiuxue asked immediately, "Don’t worry young lady. Lu Li is our friend. We will help for sure. Tell me the details first."

Liu Yi felt like she had seen hope after staring into the sparkling eyes of Bai Qiuxue and her sincere expressions. Liu Yi quickly told them everything, together with the matter of her seeing Madam Yan and Madam Yan sending Xu Chen.

Bai Qiuxue didn’t say anything after this. Bai Xiashuang was getting impatient. She said anxiously, "Ah, Lu Li is an idiot. How can he be so impulsive? Our auntie is bad too. Why isn’t she asking Uncle Five to help? If Uncle Five mobilizes resources from the Hall of Scouts, they will stop Lu Li. Sister, how about we go and beg Uncle Five?"

"It will be of no use!"

Bai Qiuxue shook her head and sighed. "Uncle Five is not a flexible man. Lu Li hasn’t sent any words back for 20 days. Patriarchs of our family are getting unhappy about it. Uncle Five will not concern himself with this matter. Eh…I don’t think there is anybody we can beg this time, not even our forefather. What is more, even if the scouts can find Lu Li, do you think they can stop him?"

Liu Yi’s fire of hope was quenched. So it would seem that the two sisters wouldn’t be of much help. Based on Lu Li’s character, he wouldn’t listen even if some scouts were able to locate him.

But what Bai Qiuxue said next made Liu Yi excited. Bai Qiuxue smiled gently and said to Bai Xiashuang, "The only ones that can help Lu Li are us now. Shuang-er, do you have the courage to go to the Heaven Martial Kingdom? Let’s go and help Lu Li to kill people. Let’s get the Yu Family in trouble."
