Chapter 175: Successfully got the key at 175 Chapter 175: Successfully got the key at 175 Ye Jiu found the key and then sneakily came out of the cave.

He had wanted to go back and wait for Ying Luoxue, but just as he was about to leave, he saw her being carried off by a tall figure.

Ye Jiu hurriedly followed them and watched helplessly as they entered a room. The moment the door was shut, Ying Luoxue’s tears finally fell.

Ye Jiu secretly stood outside the door, then used his finger to poke a hole in the window paper and threw a spherical object into the room from his space.

In just a few seconds, all noise from inside the room suddenly ceased.

Ye Jiu took the antidote, pushed the door open, and marched in.

Sure enough, La Sike’s stuff was effective; it knocked people out in just a few seconds.

Ye Jiu walked over, trying to pull the man off Ying Luoxue, but he overestimated his strength.

Having no other choice, he had to give the antidote to Ying Luoxue first, and then she woke up.

As soon as Ying Luoxue woke up, she became panicked, and Ye Jiu comforted her, “Hurry, push hard, the two of us together can move this man away.”

With Ying Luoxue lifting her hand, and Ye Jiu also helping, they finally rescued her from under the man.

“I’ve got the key, how can we contact them?” Ye Jiu asked.

“We can only go back to the original room and wait for them to find us there,” Ying Luoxue answered.

“Then let’s hurry,” Ye Jiu said.

This was their original plan; the only unexpected event was that Ying Luoxue hadn’t expected that her fellow dancing girls would have been sent away by Guard Li at that moment.

Essentially, the Dance Workshop served as a sort of brothel.

The girls would be bought, trained for a while, and then perform in affluent households, where they might be kept if someone took a liking to them.

Ye Jiu and Ying Luoxue returned to the original room, which was empty, indicating that all the dancing girls who had come with them had already had their fates arranged.

Ying Luoxue felt lucky; had the young maid not arrived in time, she would no longer need to return to Dongyue, for losing her purity, she might as well have died right there.

As Ye Jiu and she shut the door, someone dropped down directly from the roof beam.

It was Sikong Mo’s guard, whom Ye Jiu had seen before.

“Did you get the key?” the man asked.

“Got it,” Ye Jiu pulled the key from his pocket and handed it over.

The man took the key, turned, and left without uttering another word.

Ye Jiu called out to him, “Guard brother, can’t we go with you?”

At least these people knew martial arts and following them would probably be safer.

“The dungeon will be more dangerous, it’s better for you to stay here and wait,” the man replied.

“Ah…” Ye Jiu wanted to say more, but the man’s figure had already disappeared before him.

Looking at Ying Luoxue beside him, she apparently didn’t know martial arts either.

He had the Mermaid Pearl and could just go through the little stream in the backyard to get out, but what about her?

Looking at Ying Luoxue, Ye Jiu asked, “What do you plan to do to get out?”

Ying Luoxue pressed her lips together, “It seems we’ll just have to wait here.”

She knew in her heart that the chances of them coming to rescue her if she stayed were not great, for surely, their rescue attempt would not go unnoticed and would likely lead to a bloody battle.

And she was not more than a dispensable person after all; how could she be worth the risk of their lives to come and rescue her!
