Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 335 - 271: Mastering the Dirty Meridians, Clarity of the Heart, Qi Lake’s Metamorphosis, Unrivaled Beauty (Part 4)
"That scoundrel has come again, it means another day has passed. How long have we been captured? Can they find us and rescue us? If they cannot rescue us, will we be trapped like this forever?"
Li Xian untied the walnuts and wrapped them in paper, placing them on the table. He jokingly said, "Two fairies, it seems you are not so different from mortals. Craving for food?"
Bian Qiaoqiao and Nangong Liuli blushed. Knowing Li Xian was teasing them while untying the walnuts, their stomachs growled with hunger, unable to hide their saliva dripping uncontrollably.
Li Xian noticed the two women had messy hair. Bian Qiaoqiao’s ponytail was still alright, simply tied up, except for being stained with sweat, it couldn’t get messier. Nangong Liuli’s willow-style braids, big and small braids intricately intertwined, usually looked graceful and elegant, gentle and virtuous, difficult to describe. After days without care, it was slightly chaotic. He stepped forward and helped braid her long hair.
His hands were exceedingly skillful. Very quickly, he tidied it up neatly. Nangong Liuli, bewildered, said, "You scoundrel, how come you know how to braid hair?"
Li Xian laughed, "I know many things." He pulled out two strips of black cloth and laughed, "Something a bit different today."
As he spoke, his hands were already in motion. Taking advantage of Nangong Liuli’s unguarded moment, he wrapped the black cloth around her, blindfolding her eyes. Then he stepped forward and did the same to blindfold Bian Qiaoqiao.
Nangong Liuli was startled, her vision turned black, feeling extremely panicked. Bian Qiaoqiao felt the same way. The two women cursed and struggled fiercely. Already unable to move much, and with their eyes blindfolded, they seemed even more helpless.
Li Xian said, "You keep glaring at me. I fear you might harm me, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."
Nangong Liuli was furious, saying, "You..." angered beyond words. But still wanting to speak, a spoonful of food blocked her mouth. She opened her mouth to curse, but every time she wanted to speak, food blocked her mouth. She tried several times to spit it out, but due to extreme hunger, she couldn’t bear to waste food.
Eating under duress.
Li Xian opened his Heavy Pupils to observe the mechanisms in the cell.
It turned out...he purposely blindfolded the two women to reveal his Heavy Pupils, and observe the intricate details of the mechanisms. Seeing numerous small holes hidden within the cell.
Sounds could be transmitted through the holes to elsewhere. Li Xian realized, "It turns out...our conversations were being eavesdropped on by Ye Cheng this way." Inside and outside the cell, there were hidden mechanisms and secret passages.
Extremely complex.
Ye Cheng imprisoned the two women here. Even if they freed themselves from their ropes, Ye Cheng would immediately notice. He could come through the mechanism secret passage and strike at once.
He could also operate the mechanism, making the path winding and confusing, even if the women had high Martial Arts skills, the twisting road would certainly daze and confuse them. It appeared unguarded, yet the security was extremely tight.
Li Xian lamented, "You two are indeed unfortunate, being placed here, at others’ mercy. Trying to escape, I’m afraid it’s difficult... with limited ability, if an opportunity arises, when the time is right, I can only consider myself first."
Once he finished feeding the food, he turned to feed Bian Qiaoqiao. Seizing this opportunity to observe more, memorizing everything. Completing the task and settling things with the two women, Li Xian immediately returned to his bedroom.
He immediately drew what he observed and remembered onto the paper. The memory might be biased, but it should be correct by sixty or seventy percent. Li Xian examined the diagram and contemplated the mechanism secret passage.
"If I can comprehend one or two parts, perhaps I could use the secret passage to quietly escape."
Li Xian examined the diagram, practiced Martial Arts, transporting dirty essence. Feeling quite fulfilled, planning a way forward and a way out. The mechanism diagram required long-term planning, gradually understanding and improving it.

Li Xian was deeply engrossed in what he obtained and achieved.
At the same time, outside the pleasure boat, someone rowed a light boat, slowly nearing the pleasure boat’s side.
