242 Torture (2/2)

Maid Lotus went to Shen Liang's home but did not find anyone. Due to the fact that she did not have a corresponding waist token, she could not randomly go through the fort at night so she had to go back to Kun Yard.

Shangguan Ru was already waiting. ”How is it?”

Maid Lotus shook her head and did not say that the Eighth Young Mistress was now the enemy of Slave Huan.

Shangguan Ru had expected this, but it was only one of her plans. It did not affect the overall situation. ”I have already received a decree for his release. I'm just waiting for the news.”

Shangguan Ru did not say what the news was, and Maid Lotus did not ask. She clearly knew what her position should be. The edict was certainly fishy, but she did not need to worry about it.

At the end of the day, a killer came to Kun Yard and, after saluting the Tenth Young Master, said, ”Of the three torturers of the Heart Cleansing Yard, only Liao Qing was away. I asked the night watchman and found that he went to the East Castle Pyrowork Academy.”

Maid Lotus suddenly realized that compared with the administrative torturers in the Heart Cleansing Yard, those who were really good at torture were the working torturers. Shangguan Ru did not look for the whereabouts of Shen Liang, but sought the whereabouts of the working torturers. It was indeed clever.

In fact, Shangguan Ru had come up with more than just this plan. She sent out a few people to look for Slave Huan in different ways. Shen Liang was still on her radar, but finding the torturer way first worked.

”You two will take the edict and go to the East Castle.”Shangguan Ru ordered, she still had to stay here for others to report back.

Maid Lotus followed the killer and set off. Only Shangguan Ru was left in the yard. She knew that there was a killer protecting her in a certain corner, but she still felt lonely deep in her bones. She felt as if the entire Stone Castle was empty. ”I won't let him die,” the little girl whispered to herself.

Within the stone-walled house, Gu Shenwei was ”chatting” with the torturer.

”How old are you?”

Torturer Liao Qing's wrinkled face was glowing with strange brilliance under the lights. He had caused countless wounds on the prisoner. The blood trickling to the ground, but he still did not get a serious answer. This made him both surprised and excited. With a gradual and orderly punishment, most people cannot tolerate it for a long time. In light of this, he saw the possibility of using high-level techniques on Slave Huan.

”I'm 62!” Liao Qing also answered as if they were chatting.

”I thought you were eighty.” Gu Shenwei was still quivering a little despite his efforts to shifted his attention away from the pain.

”I look old.”

”How long have you been doing this?”

”Well, from the moment I opened a pig's stomach... It's been about forty years.” Liao Qing picked up a small knife and flashed it before the prisoner. He would alway let the prisoners see the process of his torture, as this would cause them to suffer deeper pain and fear.

”You surely don't have a wife and children.”

”Oh, no way. If there was someone by my side, I would always want to cut her alive. Who would marry me? I'll use this for your nails. I don't like to pull it out. It's too fast. ”

”I hope you can go slower. I have ten fingers; it's enough to keep you busy.”

”Oh, I'm not in a hurry. No one knows you're here. The Lord Blademaster hadn't given me a time limit, so you don't have to confess too early. We're both...”

The ”friendship” between the two was mercilessly interrupted. Maid Lotus smashed opened the door with a saber in one hand and the edict in the other. ”Release him.” She demanded.

”Who are you? I only listen to...”

Maid Lotus's saber was about to move, but Gu Shenwei stopped her. ”The old guy doesn't have much blood in his body. Let him live.”

Maid Lotus raised her saber and cut off the rope on Slave Huan. She gently picked him up and walked toward the outside.

”You can't go.” Liao Qing was anxious and called out while holding a knife.

Maid Lotus flew up and kicked the torturer into the corner.

The killer who led the way quietly urged them to go. ”Come on, I heard someone coming.”

Gu Shenwei escaped from the final torture but trying to find a safe place in the Stone Castle was way too hard. Shangguan Ru looked at the cuts and bruises that covered Slave Huan and immediately made a decision. ”Bring him to my residence.”

This evening, Maid Lotus was in the house of the Tenth Young Master. She could no longer go back to see her mistress because she did not cut off Slave Huan's head.

The two girls stayed up all night to care for the wounded Slave Huan.

The struggle was far from over. The Heart Cleansing Yard would not stop there. Shangguan Ru had rescued Slave Huan but that had caused her to fall into Shen Liang's trap: Her behavior had just confirmed that she was an insider of all of Yang Huan's plots.

Gu Shenwei did not sleep either, for his brain was running rapidly. When it was nearly dawn, he decided to take a risky move. ”Tenth Young Master, I want to see Lady Meng.”
