Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 51 Into the Illusion

Huo Qingluan was puzzled.

Suddenly, the door creaked, and then candlelight shone in.

Looking by the candlelight, Huo Qingluan saw a masked person walking in from outside.

The man was wearing a black robe, and he was looking at Huo Qingluan with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Huo Qingluan met the man's gaze without fear and asked.

After hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite brave. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Huo Qingluan sneered and said: "If you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago, why would you wait until now! You have gone through so much trouble to get me here, what do you want to do?"

After hearing this, the man laughed heartily, "You are very smart! Why don't you...guess what I want to do?"

"I don't know you, so why should I give you an answer?" Huo Qingluan rolled his eyes at the man, then turned over and lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Haha, interesting!" the man said and sat down at the table half a meter away from her, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip gracefully, "Huo Qingluan, the eldest lady of Huo Guogong's mansion, the only granddaughter of Mr. Huo ..." At this point, the man paused slightly, then put down his tea cup and stared at her with interest.

Hearing this, Huo Qingluan opened his eyes suddenly, his expression became solemn, "How did you know?"

"What do you know? Do you know that Huo Qidong is not Mr. Huo's son? Or do you know that your parents were killed by Huo Qidong?" The man said lightly, as if he was talking about the weather today.

But the more calm and gentle he was, the more Huo Qingluan felt how unfathomable he was. What was the origin of this man...?
"Who...are you?" Huo Qingluan asked calmly after a moment of silence.

The man chuckled again, his laughter low and sweet, as if he enjoyed this feeling very much.

After a moment, he stopped smiling and said, "My name is Long Hui, the master of the Secret Door Palace. As for my other identity, I won't tell you for now. I only want to ask you one question, Huo Qingluan, do you want revenge?"

Huo Qingluan was stunned. She didn't expect that her kidnapping was related to the Huo family's grudges.However, she was not in a hurry to take a stand.

"How do you think I should answer? This person is unfamiliar with this place. If my answer is contrary to your opinion, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" Huo Qingluan said.

The man nodded and praised: "Smart girl. But... you should know your situation. If you don't answer, it will only be more dangerous."

"Of course I want revenge, but it won't be through you guys... guys with unknown origins!" As she said that, she picked up the umbrella on the side and stabbed forward hard.

Unfortunately, the umbrella only pierced the man's sleeve and did not cause any harm to him.

The man easily blocked Huo Qingluan's attack, with a half-smile on his face.

Huo Qingluan smiled, and turned the broom in his hand. A faint red mist emerged from the tip of the umbrella, slowly drifted away, and instantly filled the entire table, including the chairs.

A cruel and bloodthirsty sneer appeared on the corner of Huo Qingluan's mouth, and she slowly approached the man.

At this time, the red mist had gradually surrounded the man.

The man still stood still, but there was a strange and indistinguishable look on his face: "The poison of the other shore flower is indeed good. It's a pity that my body is invulnerable to all poisons!"

As he spoke, he raised his arms with his palms facing the sky.

Immediately afterwards, his arms shook, and a powerful force surged from his limbs, blowing away the red mist.

Huo Qingluan was surprised. He didn't expect that he could resolve his poison.

She quickly evacuated the room and planned to escape.

Unexpectedly, she stopped as soon as she took a step, because she was shocked to find that she couldn't move. "Stop struggling, you can't run away unless I want to." The man smiled evilly.

"Really?" Huo Qingluan snorted coldly, biting his index finger suddenly, blood dripping down, "Do you think this is the only way I can do it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, blood dripped on the floor.

In an instant, the floor glowed with a coquettish red light.

The red light covered the roof and windows, making the house look particularly eerie and strange.

The masked man's intuition suddenly changed, and he appeared on a mountain peak.In front of him stood a man and a woman, looking into the distance with their backs on him.

"Master, Master..." he murmured.

"Hui'er..." The woman turned around.

"Master, are you back?" The man was extremely excited.

"Hui'er, you've grown up!" The woman sighed happily and continued to look into the distance, with tears glistening in her eyes. "You suffered a lot back then. If Master could protect you, you wouldn't have suffered such setbacks. Hui'er. Son, do you hate Master?"

"Master, I...I don't blame you..."

"Silly boy!" the woman choked.

"Master, how did you come here?"

The woman turned her head to look at the masked man, smiled tenderly, and said: "Hui'er, your master and I just came here by chance. The real us have died long ago. But... it's enough to appear here and see you." That’s it…”

"Master, Hui'er misses you." Long Hui looked at everything in front of him, even though he knew that he was probably just in a dream, he didn't want to wake up.

Because only if he is in an illusion, he will not suffer.

The woman nodded with a smile, "Well, Hui'er, Master is the same!"

"Master..." Long Hui stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, and many pictures suddenly flashed in his mind.He murmured and told them about his current situation.

Outside the illusion, Huo Qingluan spit out a mouthful of blood, and the red mist around her suddenly rioted and rushed towards her body.The backlash of power plunged her into a nightmare.

……

"Hey, wake up." Huo Qingluan opened his eyes as his body was shaken violently, looking at the strange person in front of him with some confusion, "Who are you?"

"Ji You, you fell asleep again! How many times has this happened?" The girl in front of her looked at her helplessly, obviously knowing her very well.

"Ji You?" Huo Qingluan tried to remember.But the memory seems to be broken, and it can't be put together no matter what.

"Get up quickly. If you don't get up, you won't be able to catch up with Yuqing Peak's internal examination competition!" The girl looked small, but her strength was surprisingly strong. He picked her up with one force.

"Internal exam?" Huo Qingluan frowned. Has she entered the body of a person named Ji You?

"Yes!" The girl nodded, and then pulled her out, "Don't you want to be Master Bai's disciple most? This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"

Huo Qingluan, oh, no, Ji You didn't pay attention to the girl's chatter. He thought about things to himself, always feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something.
