Chapter 22 Late Night Performance

When Liu Nian went downstairs, she saw Ace standing at the stairs, talking to Luo Ya. Seeing her coming down, Luo Ya lifted her skirt and trotted over to her.

"So you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time." Luo Ya took Liu Nian's hand and turned her eyes from Bo Heng's coat back to Liu Nian's face. "Why did you stay so long? It's so cold outside today."

"Really? I think it's fine."

Faced with Luo Ya's sudden enthusiasm, Liu Nian frowned, at a loss.

Luo Ya smiled stiffly, took off Liu Nian's coat, and handed it to Ace, "Since my good friend has come down, you can go upstairs to find your good friend, don't block him here."

There was a mixture of shyness and complaints in her words, and Liu Nian couldn't help but shiver when he heard the tone.

Luo Ya held Liu Nian's hand and said, "Today is such an unlucky day. Not only can I not find you, but I also lost the jade bracelet I liked."

"Is that the one you wear every day?" Liu Nian thought about it and realized that Luo Ya did wear a jade bracelet every day.

"Yes, where do you think it will be lost?" Luo Ya thought as she walked and slowly slowed down her pace. Liu Nian, who was following her, also slowed down his pace unconsciously.

Liu Nian discovered that Topher was not with Luo Ya.

Sure enough, Topher came running over panting just two steps after I mentioned this.

"Princess Roya, we found the bracelet."

Liu Nian had a bad feeling, wondering if it was the bracelet he saw in his room.

"It seems that someone saw it on the west side of the Light King Palace."

"Oh my God!" Luo Ya screamed.

After hearing this answer, Liu Nian's heart, which had been relieved, was again in suspense because of Luo Ya's scream.

Luo Ya leaned sideways and grabbed Liu Nian's hand, her expression anxious and sad.

"Then let's go look for him. Liu Nian, let's go together."

"No, I don't want to go." Liu Nian refused coldly. He could tell at a glance that these two people were up to no good.

Luo Ya cried anxiously, "I know that my actions just now may have hurt you, because I love him too much."

Luo Ya wiped her tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

"So I was looking for you just now, in order to apologize to you."

Faced with Luo Ya's vivid performance, Liu Nian was somewhat moved.

This was her fault. She did have different feelings for Bo Heng. Whether it was because he looked the same as him in the original world or not, she couldn't deny it.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Liu Nian agreed to Luo Ya's request. Luo Ya wiped the tears from her face with a smile and took Liu Nian to the west side of the King Guang Palace.

What Liu Nian didn't know was that the west side of the Guangwang Palace was where serious criminals were held.

The lights here are brilliant, brighter than those in the main hall of the King of Light Palace. Liu Nian would not feel dark when walking here alone, but for some reason, he felt a chill on his back.

Liu Nian sat casually on a tree stump. This place was very different from the Palace of Prince Guang. Although it was brightly lit, it was very desolate. Liu Nian saw several doors that led to the underground.

Not long after arriving here, Liu Nian got separated from Luo Ya and the others, but Liu Nian guessed that Luo Ya probably left her here alone on purpose.

Liu Nian stood up and continued to look for the way back. Thinking about his current situation, Liu Nian really didn't know what to say.

Such childish pranks would never have been acceptable in her previous world.

The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound. Liu Nian touched his arms and shivered.

I hadn't taken a few steps when I heard a strange laugh.

Liu Nian stood still, not daring to move.

The laughter was getting closer and closer, and Liu Nian frowned and listened carefully.

As I listened, I started laughing out loud.

"What a weird laugh, it's so funny." Liu Nian squatted on the ground and laughed. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't know it was the sound of laughter. Who would laugh so hard?

The more Liu Nian laughed, the funnier it seemed, so he just laughed along.

The laughter had not yet died down when the wind started to cause trouble again.

A cloud of dust rose up around Liu Nian. Before Liu Nian could react, he inhaled a lot of dust and kept spitting while sitting on the ground.

The wind formed a whirlwind. Normally, Liu Nian would have been blown up, but he still sat on the ground as steady as a rock, not affected at all.

Liu Nian stood up while spitting. Did he misunderstand Luo Ya? Was there going to be a performance here?

A puppet was approaching Liu Nian little by little. Liu Nian thought the puppet was walking too slowly, so he deliberately came to the puppet's side first.

The puppet man raised his hand and hit Liu Nian. Liu Nian and the puppet man were silent for a few seconds.

Liu Nian picked up the puppet's arm and shook it. "That's it?"

With a force, Liu Nian pulled the puppet's arm off, and hurriedly tried to put it back on him.

A man as swift as the wind flew over from the darkness, snatched the arm from Liu Nian's hand, and put the puppet's arm back up while comforting the puppet.

Liu Nian was shocked that there were still people here. She thought Luo Ya would clear the area for her.

"Liu Nian." Lewinda came to Liu Nian's side in an instant, with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The purple lightning, brighter than the lights on the ground, wrapped around Liu Nian without a single gap.

Liu Nian saw Zhidan squatting on a street lamp not far away.

Unlike Lewenda who was frowning and worried, Zhidan laughed wildly and happily.

So, when Liu Nian was thinking about when the street lamp would fall down given Gul's weight, three people he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

The three also included the eldest brother who devoted himself to repairing the puppet.

"What's going on?" Liu Nian approached Lewanda and asked quietly, "Isn't this a wonderful show?"

Lewenda let Zhidan deal with the three people kneeling on the ground. After checking Liu Nian who was unharmed, he smiled and said, "The show is over. Let's go back to sleep."

Having said that, he took Liu Nian out. Liu Nian looked back every three steps, looking a little unhappy.

“I haven’t seen enough!”

Bo Heng stood on the rooftop on the west side of the Palace of Prince of Light and watched all this. Luo Ya was drinking tea beside Bo Heng, with the translucent jade bracelet on her hand.

"She is Gu Lie's guest. I warned you not to touch her." Bo Heng withdrew his gaze after watching Lewinda bringing Liu Nian back to the main hall of the Guangwang Palace.

"Lewenda is here. He can sense any disturbance in the Palace of King Guang. What big thing can I do?"

Luo Ya said this, but her eyes revealed her unwillingness.

Those pieces of trash, I finally let them out, but they turned out to be so stupid. If they can't attack her with their abilities, then come out and kill her.

He put the cup down impatiently, and the cup and saucer hit each other with a crisp sound.

Luoya stood up and prepared to leave, but Boheng ignored her.

Tomorrow is the day when Ge Lie will come over, and Liu Nian will no longer be of any use to him.

He couldn't go to the study tonight, so Liu Nian had to get up early in the morning and go to the study. As soon as he opened the door stealthily, he saw Gulliver standing at the door.

"when did you come?"

Liu Nian looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anyone, so he thought about dragging Gulliver into the house to talk.

However, Gle remained unmoved. He stood there and talked to Liu Nian openly.

"I heard that Luoya is not very nice to you, but brother is pretty good to you." Ge Lie leaned against the wall, crossed his arms and looked straight at Liu Nian.

"You all misunderstood." Liu Nian waved his hands and tried to explain.

"I don't care about those. I only care about whether you have completed the task I asked you to do."

"I haven't found it, but I may know where the black room is."

"Maybe?" Glein raised his voice and moved closer to Liu Nian. "Liu Nian, I want to kill you, and no one can save you." Glein stood up and pushed Liu Nian against the wall. "So, don't betray me and do something unnecessary."

"I understand." Liu Nian stood there quietly, with his head lowered, his voice muffled.

Ge Lie lifted Liu Nian's chin. Liu Nian lowered his eyes and said nothing. "You really have the ability to make yourself look so embarrassed every time. Do you think swollen eyes are beautiful?"

"I'm sorry." Liu Nian held back tears and sniffed.

"Stop crying, you're ugly." Glee shook Liu Nian's chin away. Facing Liu Nian's look, he was obviously in a bad mood.

"Yeah." Liu Nian replied sullenly.

Looking at Liu Nian, who would normally be stubborn even when he was afraid, Ge Lie felt extremely uncomfortable when Liu Nian was really quiet.

"It's up to you." After saying that, Ge Lie left Liu Nian's sight.

Liu Nian wiped away the tears that had just flowed down with her hands and blinked her red eyes, "What did Gulley do today? The pepper smell is so strong that it choked me to death."

He turned his head to cheer himself up, fanned his eyes with his hands, looked in the direction where Gulley left, and added, "It's really hot!"

Even when Liu Nian arrived at the study, the smell of chili pepper still lingered in his nose for a long time.

Liu Nian took this opportunity to look through the drawers one by one.

This black room should be the study.

That black door should be a drawer or cabinet.

Liu Nian, who had already finished searching one part, started sweating. How could this place be so big?

Liu Nian was searching seriously and didn't notice Luo Ya's footsteps coming from outside the door.
