Chapter 48: Bandit Stronghold (3)

In a shabby room, there was Ye Li and Qing Luan. One person sat on the bed and the other sat on a bench next to the bed. Both had their eyes closed, resting. Although her eyes were closed, Qing Luan's face still showed the shame and restlessness from before. She snuck a glance at Ye Li, sitting on the bed, her back against the wall.

Qing Luan whispered: "Young Miss, you should lie down and rest for a while. Qing Luan will stand watch."

Ye Li opened her eyes and stared at Qing Luan. She faintly smiled and said: "Now, we will rest for half an hour. This evening, you must find a way to leave this place."

Qing Luan was startled. Her eyes widened as she stared at Ye Li. "How can that be? Even if someone is leaving, it should be Young Miss leaving first. Qing Luan knows that the Young Miss isn't some weak maiden who doesn't have the strength to truss up a chicken. Instead, Qing Luan will lure those people away. The Young Miss can take the opportunity to escape."

Ye Li shook her head and said: "If you leave, nothing will happen to me. If they don't see me, they'll certainly kill you."

"This isn't going to work. I can't leave the Young Miss here." Qing Luan said gruffly.

Ye Li looked at her firmly. "After you've returned, you can find someone to rescue me. Looking at these people, they are clearly not afraid. I'm afraid this place won't be easily found."

Qing Luan's thoughts were muddled and twisted. She gave a hesitant look at Ye Li. She felt that her Young Miss was quite reasonable. Still, she was very uneasy.

Ye Li smiled: "Don't worry. I'm the Young Miss, right? Eldest Brother wants you all to listen to me. Are you defying my orders?"

"Young Miss..." Qing Luan fidgeted and can only stare straight at Ye Li.

Ye Li returned her look. She gently said: "Qing Luan, listen to me. Tonight, you must leave this place. Perhaps, after... you'll run into some unexpected people."

"Young Miss!" Startled, Qing Luan looked at Ye Li.

"Be good, don't be afraid. This Young Miss will have her own methods of escape. You need to hurry and find help. Don't you also want us to return home quickly?" Ye Li smiled. In the end, Qing Luan could only agree and nod.

"Thump!"

The door was kicked open from the outside. Qing Luan rushed in front of Ye Li, looking at the two people that barged in. "What do you people want to do?"

The one in front was big and carried a lustful look as his eyes trained on Ye Li; Qing Luan stood protectively in front of her. The man chuckled and said: "This is Ye family's Third Young Miss? This year's most talented maiden within the capital? Prince Ding's fiance?"

At his side, there was a lackey. The lackey laughed along and added: "Second Boss is right. This is the Young Miss that the Big Boss brought back."

The Second Boss rubbed his hands together with a wicked smile. He said: "What does big brother intend? Why did he imprison two ripened fruits in this place?"

The man was dazed as he remembered what the Big Boss instructed. He quickly reminded: "Second Boss, these two beauties can't be touched."

The Second Boss huffed and said: "Coming to my Ghost Cloud Peak, is there someone that I can't touch?"

"This... Second Boss, this Young Miss can be worth a total of sixty thousand taels. The Big Boss has instructed, especially that Miss Ye, that she can't be touched."
