Chapter 260 Magister
A trace of emotion flashed in the mother's eyes. She hugged Lan Yunyan tightly, and a tear flashed in her eyes.
"Yunyan, you are a good child." The mother's voice was choked with sobs, "But you have to leave here."
Lan Yunyan shook her head.
Ling Xiuhan stood beside Lan Yunyan, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Yunyan, let's leave here together." Ling Xiuhan's voice was steady.
Lan Yunyan nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Let's leave here together." There was a hint of determination in Lan Yunyan's voice.
The three began to look for a way to leave the forbidden area. Their eyes swept across every corner of the room, looking for possible clues.
Suddenly, Lan Yunyan's attention was drawn to a mural. The murals depicted the family's history and secrets. One of the murals depicted the family's forbidden area, with a special symbol on it.
"Xiu Han, look here!" Lan Yunyan pointed at the mural, a gleam in her eyes.
Ling Xiu Han walked forward, his eyes swept across the mural, finally stopping on a special symbol in the mural.
"This is the family's forbidden area. We can leave through here." Ling Xiu Han's voice contained a hint of certainty.
The three of them immediately headed in the direction indicated by the mural. They passed through the thick fog in the room and finally came to a secret passage.
The door to the passage was tightly closed, engraved with forbidden runes. Lan Yunyan walked forward and reached out to gently touch the runes on the door.
"Yunyan, be careful!" Ling Xiuhan's voice was filled with worry.
Lan Yunyan nodded. She took a deep breath and poured her soul power into the runes. As the soul power was poured in, the runes on the door began to glow, and powerful forces surged out from the door.
Ling Xiu Han immediately exerted his magic power to the extreme. His black robe moved without wind, forming a solid barrier to resist this force.
As the rune's light grew brighter, the door slowly opened, and a powerful force surged from the passage. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan exchanged a glance and cautiously entered the passage.
A light mist filled the passage, and something seemed to be moving in the mist. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the mist. It was Lan Yunyan's grandfather.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"You actually found this place." There was a hint of surprise in my grandfather's voice.
A hint of determination flashed in Lan Yunyan's eyes. She walked forward and held her mother's hand tightly.
"Grandfather, I must take my mother away from here." There was a hint of determination in Lan Yunyan's voice.
A trace of pain flashed in Grandfather's eyes. He knew that there was an insurmountable gap in Lan Yunyan's heart. But he also knew that he couldn't let Lan Yunyan take any more risks.
"Yunyan, listen to me." Grandfather's voice was firm, "You must leave here. I won't let you take any more risks."
Lan Yunyan shook her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Grandfather, I won't leave Mother." Lan Yunyan's voice was filled with determination. "I will take her away from here. We will leave together."
A trace of emotion flashed in the grandfather's eyes. He held Lan Yunyan's hand tightly, and a tear flashed in his eyes.
A complex emotion flashed in Ling Xiu Han's eyes. His gaze seemed to travel through time and space, returning to the turning point that changed his life.
Those were the days when his parents locked him up in the Holy Palace and forced him to marry Su Yao. Those days were like a nightmare, and he still feels scared.
Within the walls of the Holy Palace, Ling Xiuhan was imprisoned in an ornately decorated room. Every item in the room was priceless, but in his eyes, they were like decorations in a cage, only making him feel more depressed.
"Xiu Han, you must understand that this marriage is of vital importance to you and our family." Father's voice echoed in the room with unquestionable majesty.
Ling Xiu Han stood in front of the window, looking at the sky outside. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he had lost all emotions.
"I don't understand." His voice was terrifyingly calm. "I don't understand why you would do this to me. I don't understand why I would marry a woman I don't love."
"Love?" There was a hint of contempt in the mother's voice. "What can love bring? Power, status, wealth, these are what our family needs."
Ling Xiu Han turned around, a flash of anger in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Do you really think that you can sacrifice my happiness in exchange for the glory of our family?" There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
A complex expression flashed across his father's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "This is your fate, and your responsibility." His voice was devoid of warmth. "You can't escape."
Ling Xiuhan didn't say anything else. He knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change his parents' decision. He turned and looked out the window again. Night had fallen. The lights in the Holy Palace were bright, but Ling Xiuhan's room was pitch black.
He sat on the edge of the bed, playing with a black magic stone in his hand. It was his only friend and his only comfort.
"Xiu Han, do you really want to surrender?" A low voice came from the magic stone. It was his magician and his only mentor.
A trace of struggle flashed in Ling Xiu Han's eyes, and he gripped the magic stone tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.
"Do I have a choice?" There was a hint of despair in his voice.
"Yes." There was a hint of temptation in the mage's voice, "You can choose to resist and become your own master."
Ling Xiu Han's body trembled slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Resist..." His voice trembled, "Can I?"
"You can." The mage's voice was full of certainty, "as long as you are willing to pay the price."
Ling Xiu Han took a deep breath. He knew that the price might be his life, but he could no longer endure such a life.
