Chapter 190 Former Martial Arts Alliance Leader
In the end, Yunyi had no choice but to throw two silver needles at the other person, which finally calmed them down.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a bowl of water, which contained a little bit of spiritual spring water.
"Senior, have some water."
The man was no longer as manic as before, but his gaze toward Yunyi was still burning with desire. However, he was much more obedient: "If Miao'er tells me to drink, I'll drink." Then he took it and gulped it down in two mouthfuls.
Yunyi reached out to take the bowl back, but the other person threw it away.
Yunyi was glad that she had used a rough, large porcelain bowl from the countryside. It would have been such a waste to give him a blue and white porcelain bowl.
Perhaps it was the magic spring water that worked, because after the old man farted a few times, his eyes began to clear.
Yunyi pinched her nose and sighed, wondering why she had done this to herself.
"Where am I?" The spiritual spring water was quite effective, at least it restored some of the old man's senses, but after regaining his senses, he obviously did not remember anything that had happened before.
“Senior, this should be the basement of the Zhenbei Marquis’s mansion.” Yunyi looked at him. “You were imprisoned and were going crazy just now. I saved you.”
"Miao'er? No, you are not Miao'er, who are you?" The old man looked at Yun Yi in shock again.
"My name is Yunyi, and Qi Miao'er is my mother."
"You're Miao'er's daughter? You...you're so old? You..." The old man actually started crying.
"Senior, please don't cry. You have to tell me what happened to you."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and the chains rattled loudly. "My name is Mo Li."
His story is simple. He and Qi Miao'er were originally in love, but he was more obsessed with martial arts. Sixteen years ago, in order to compete for the title of leader of the martial arts alliance, he let Qi Miao'er down. When he finally defeated everyone and came back to find her, he found that Qi Miao'er had already left and married someone else.
Without his lover, even after becoming the leader of the alliance, he felt empty. So, he began searching for Qi Miao'er's whereabouts. He searched for ten years and finally learned that Qi Miao'er had married into the capital. However, the capital was too big, and he had no idea where to start. It was at this time that he met Bai Jianming.
He initially thought he had met a friend, but Bai Jianming knew he possessed the True Martial Arts Secret Techniques and a treasure map. Taking advantage of his unguarded moment, Bai Jianming imprisoned him. At first, he only wanted the secret techniques, but later he drugged him, controlled his mind, and turned him into a weapon.
Mo Li raised her hand to cover her head: "I wanted to fight back, but I couldn't. When I was lucid, I wanted to die, but I was unwilling to accept it. I wanted to see Miao'er, I wanted to explain to her, I wanted to say sorry... Waaah..."
Yunyi sighed, "My mother is dead."
"what?"
“My mother… married the Earl of Chengen, but that man favored his concubine over his wife, and framed my mother for having an affair with a guard. Then my mother jumped into the river and committed suicide.”
"How could this be? She..."
"What's impossible?"
"then you……"
"After my mother died, I was drugged by the aunt who was promoted to the position of wife and handed over to human traffickers. Then I was sold here to be someone's wife."
Mo Li's brows furrowed deeply, her anger escalating: "How dare he treat you like this? How dare he?"
"Alright," Yunyi quickly waved her hand to interrupt the other person's outburst, "What's the point of yelling here?"
Mo Li suddenly deflated.
"Do you want to come out?"
"Huh?" Mo Li was taken aback.
"With an IQ like that, how did you become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"
"Former, former leader of the alliance."
"Oh, so how did you become the former leader of the alliance?"
Mo Li remained silent.
"What I mean is, do you want to get out? I can rescue you and heal your injuries."
Mo Li's eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head: "I can't go out."
"You still want to be Bai Jianming's assassin?"
"No, it's because I forcibly resisted his drugs and went into a qi deviation, so he crippled my martial arts. But my mind is often unclear, and I'm afraid I'll hurt you, so..."
“You were going crazy just now, and I brought you back to your senses.” Yunyi smiled. “I said I would heal your injuries, including the injuries on your body and the injuries to your brain.”
"Really?"
Why would I lie to you? But there's a condition.
"What conditions?"
"You have to listen to me from now on."
"I..." Mo Li wanted to refuse, wanting to say why a grown man should listen to a woman? But when he met those crescent-shaped eyes that were almost exactly the same as Miao'er's, the girl's sweet voice from back then rang in his mind.
"Brother Mo Li, you kissed me, so you're mine now. You have to listen to me from now on."
Seeing that the other person's eyes were starting to lose focus again, Yunyi quickly waved her hand and asked, "How are you?"
Mo Li snapped out of her daze: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"You can't go back on your word, otherwise even if you're a master, I can still deal with you."
"I won't go back on my word." Mo Li shook his head. This was Miao'er's daughter, just like his own daughter. It wasn't shameful for him to listen to his daughter.
Yunyi circled the cage but couldn't find a door. Finally, she discovered that there was an iron chain hanging from the cage. Just as she was about to let someone out, she was about to pull the cage up.
We need to find the authorities again.
It feels like playing an escape room game in modern times, which is quite interesting.
"The mechanism is on the wall over there," Mo Li pointed to her. "It's behind that piece of wood, but we just need to decipher it."
"Deciphering?" Yunyi became interested and walked to the wall next to her. She twisted open a piece of wood on the wall, but when she saw the pattern on the wall behind it, her eyes widened instantly. "Holy crap, who designed this?"
It says on it that π is approximately equal to three points, followed by four small squares.
Below that is a large square frame with ten Arabic numerals engraved inside.
"This palace is said to have been left over from the previous dynasty, but as for who designed it, no one knows." Mo Li shook his head.
Yun Yi understood. The person who designed this mechanism must also be a time traveler, and if she wasn't mistaken, they should also be a science student.
He then raised his hand and pressed 1415 into the large square.
Then I heard the rattling sound of the chains starting to vibrate.
Soon, the pulleys on top started to turn, and the iron chain tightened, lifting the cage up.
However, Mo Li was still chained, and to get out, the chains had to be removed or broken.
Yunyi went inside, frowning as she looked at the iron chain: "This thing is really hard to deal with."
"Yiyi, do you see that wall over there?"
Yunyi turned her head and saw a sword hilt on the wall. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Is there a precious sword stuck there?"
