Chapter 811: Don’t Open Your Eyes (Part 1)
Xiao Xue continued to glare at her without speaking.
"No matter who finds you later, you must leave here as fast as you can, return to Changhuan Palace, and tell your mother and the others to leave the Xia Clan and never return. What I owe you, I cannot repay, nor will I. If she wants to hate, let her hate!" Han Qingjue finished saying this and asked Xiao Xue, "Do you remember?"
Xiao Xue looked at her and finally spoke, "Why? Why do we have to leave here?"
Xiao Xue didn’t understand the grudges between the adults, nor did she quite understand why they came here, but hadn’t they just arrived? Why leave?
Han Qingjue didn’t have time to explain so much to her, so she used the silver needle to take a small amount of blood from the spot on Xiao Xue’s arm that she had just cut. Xiao Xue did not resist because she instinctively felt that the other party did not mean to harm her.
After extracting blood, Han Qingjue whispered to her, "Lie down, close your eyes, and even if the person looking for you arrives, do not open your eyes. Make sure you open them only after leaving here, understand?"
Xiao Xue still didn’t understand why she was being asked to do this.
But Han Qingjue said anxiously, "Xiao Xue, be obedient, there’s really no time left."
Xiao Xue didn’t understand why, but seeing how anxious Han Qingjue was, she obediently lay down and closed her eyes. Anyway, if she dared to harm her, she would let the bugs out to bite her!
Seeing that Xiao Xue finally complied, Han Qingjue breathed a sigh of relief and then took out the silver needle that Xia Ji had given her.

"Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue!" Nearly twenty minutes later, Lianwu finally found Xiao Xue, still pretending to be dead on the ground, in this maze-like Illusion Bamboo Forest. Xiao Xue held back and didn’t make a sound.
Lianwu quickly walked over, picked Xiao Xue up, her body was warm, breathing was okay, but her heartbeat was a bit fast. He frowned, and called softly a few times, "Xiao Xue? Xiao Xue, can you hear me?"
Xiao Xue’s head drooped on Lianwu’s shoulder, holding back from moving or making a sound.
"Damn it!" Lianwu cursed softly, thinking Xiao Xue was affected by the Illusion Realm here. It seemed they needed to get out quickly!
Without caring for anything else, Lianwu held Xiao Xue and quickly searched for the way out. Once they left the Illusion Bamboo Forest and returned to Changhuan Palace, there should be a solution.
But this damn Illusion Bamboo Forest was really troublesome, and it took about half an hour to finally get out. By then, the sky had already darkened.
Lianwu was sure that by now Han Jing and the others were probably going crazy looking for people.
He didn’t have time to worry about Ling Xiang and Han Qingjue. Holding Xiao Xue, he headed back to the city.
When they were near the city, they saw Lan Ling, who was searching everywhere. Seeing Lianwu and Xiao Xue, Lan Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Where the hell have you been? We couldn’t find you anywhere in the city. We were all about to go insane. They’ve split up to search elsewhere. I’ll have someone notify them first!"
Lan Ling quickly instructed the two guards who came out with him to send the message and then turned back to Lianwu, "Let’s hurry back. What’s wrong with Xiao Xue? Is she asleep?"
Lianwu’s face was grim, "We reached a bamboo forest with an Illusion Array. When I found Xiao Xue, she was already unconscious. I suspect she was affected by the Illusion Array."
