Chapter 193 Retention
It was already evening when we returned to the White Pagoda.

Chi Yin lay on the bed, looking dazed.

The indulgence in Ji Chengyun's eyes was still vivid in her mind, and the words he said were as if he knew what she was going to do next.

But if he knew, why didn't he stop her? Instead, he let her leave.

Is there some other conspiracy waiting for her?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

Tsk, it’s so annoying, what on earth is he thinking?

Chi Yin rubbed his head irritably and closed his eyes to rest.

After lying in bed for a while, Chi Yin regained his spirits.

Forget it, forget about Ji Chengyun, let him think whatever he wants.

The most important thing is to escape home.

She has made an appointment with Xius to secretly leave the main planet tonight.

Chi Yin took out the terminal and checked the time.

It’s exactly six o’clock.

The time she and Hughes agreed to meet was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was time to pack up and get ready to leave.

Chi Yin's expression became serious. He looked around the room and quickly put the things he had brought to the White Tower into the space button.

In fact, there were nothing valuable except toiletries and some skirts. The most precious thing was the medicine that Ji Chengyun gave her.

After a while, Chi Yin packed her luggage and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling bored, tossing the terminal around to play with it.

To ensure that everything is foolproof, she recently bought this terminal, which only has one contact, Xius.

Soon, it became completely dark.

It's eight o'clock.

Just then, the terminal rang.

If nothing unexpected happens, it was Hughes calling.

Chi Yin was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly answered the phone. A polite greeting came from the other end of the terminal:
"Master, do you want to eat anything? I saw a cake shop on the way here. The small cakes sold there are so fragrant and cute. Can I buy one for you?"

Chi Yin's nervous expression suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

No, at this hour, how could Hughes still be in the mood to go to the cake shop and buy desserts? !

Can you be serious?
Hughes' calmness made her anxiety seem particularly stupid.

Chi Yin took a deep breath and suppressed his frantic mood, "Whatever, just send me your location and I'll come find you right away."

"Okay! Then I'll buy you a very cute kitten-shaped cake."

Even through the terminal, Chi Yin could feel Xius's happiness.

Also, when you buy kitten cakes and stuff, are you really not picking them out on purpose?

Chi Yin couldn't help but smile, and her nervousness eased a little.

The next moment, she received a message from Xiu Si's location.

Xius is not far from the White Tower, just a ten-minute walk away.

Chi Yin suppressed his smile, looked at the map carefully, then put on the space button and left the room without any reluctance.

After waiting for so long, she can finally leave.

Since she often went to see Ji Chengyun these days, the staff at the White Tower were accustomed to her absence and just thought she would come back when she had enough fun.

"Master Chi Yin, are you going to see Mr. Ji Chengyun again?" Before leaving, a staff member suddenly spoke.

Chi Yin paused for a moment, then nodded calmly, "Yeah, I have something to do outside."

The staff didn't ask any more questions, but just reminded worriedly:
"Then you need to come back early. It's very dangerous outside at night. There are many wandering sentinels looking for guides everywhere. If possible, please let Mr. Ji Chengyun take you back to the White Tower."

Chi Yin pursed her lips and hummed softly.

Maybe these staff members were so friendly because of her status as a 3S-level guide, but their concern was not fake.

Chi Yin thanked him silently in her heart.

Sorry, she's lying again.

After a pause, Chi Yin added: "I might stay at Ji Chengyun's house tonight and won't go back to the White Tower. Tell the people on night watch not to wait for me." After that, Chi Yin left the White Tower without looking back.

However, she did not notice that the moment she stepped out of the white tower, a tall figure followed silently.

-

Ten minutes later, Chi Yin arrived at the cake shop where Xius was.

"Owner!"

Before he saw Xius, Chi Yin heard the boy's surprised voice: "I'm here!"

Chi Yin looked over when she heard the voice, and saw Xius running towards her excitedly, holding two beautiful pink boxes in his hands.

The colorful lights on the street illuminated Zeus's watery black eyes, adding a layer of brilliant color to the joy in the boy's eyes.

At this moment, the boy was so happy that he forgot everything else. He didn't look like he was preparing to escape, but rather like he was going out on a date with his beloved girl.

"Ding ding ding, I took the initiative to buy two cakes for the master, so that we can eat while traveling later."

Xius's relaxed posture infected Chi Yin.

She smiled and asked, "Hughes, where did you park the starship?"

Hughes hummed a tune, happily carrying the cake, and said with great joy: "My starship is hidden in a very secret place, and there is also a map to the hive."

"Master, rest assured. With me here, everything you want can be achieved."

Chi Yin looked at Xius, who was willing to change his face and make himself ugly just to see her, and whispered, "Thank you."

Hughes' face suddenly turned red.

He lowered his head shyly, and twisted his hands around the cake box together, "Master, follow me. We will leave the main planet now."

Chi Yin followed behind Xius, and the two of them disappeared into the crowd after taking many turns.

After walking for about half an hour, Chi Yin and Xius arrived at the slums in the deepest part of the main planet.

Zeus used his mental power to unlock the starship's stealth function, and the next moment, a small starship appeared in front of Chi Yin.

"Master, please come in." Zeus opened the door of the starship excitedly.

Chi Yin took a step and was about to go in.

"Chi Yin, where are you going?!"

Just then, a familiar male voice came from behind Chi Yin.

The voice was hoarse and melancholy, and so sad that it made people feel sad.

Chi Yin's heart skipped a beat and he turned around suddenly. The moment he saw who was coming, his eyes widened immediately.

"Duan Jing, why is it you?!"

Before setting off, Chi Yin thought about the possibility of an accident.

She thought the person who stopped her would be Ji Chengyun, who had noticed something, but the result surprised her.

Duan Jing's peach blossom eyes were no longer misty and full of spring feelings, but became dim, as if there was ice in his pupils.

He said, "Are you going to abandon me again?"

Duan Jing stopped smiling and became expressionless.

This was the first time he took off the smiling mask he had carefully worn on his face and revealed his true emotions.

Chi Yin couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he saw that the person who always had a smile on his face suddenly became like this.

"Chi Yin, where are you going this time?" Duan Jing's tone was deliberately gentle: "Can you take me with you this time?"

He didn't ask why Chi Yin left, he just didn't want to be abandoned again.

"..." Chi Yin stared at Duan Jing's expression blankly, unable to speak for a moment.

Xius's cat eyes stared at Duan Jing sharply. He stood in front of Chi Yin, his body slightly bent in a protective posture.

"The master is going to the Zerg. You want to follow us so much. Does the Archon want to betray the Empire like us and join the Zerg?"

Duan Jing will definitely refuse.

After all, joining the Zerg is a serious crime.

However, what made Xius unbelievable was that Duan Jing did not refuse immediately, but lowered his head and pondered.
