The martialists standing on the roofs of the buildings around all left the yard with Waldo and the other elders.
In an instant, Leland was the only one left in the yard.
He leaped from the ground and landed on the balcony of the pavilion.
Staring at Emma and Gilmore, he said, “Come with me.”
After that, Leland walked into the inner part of the pavilion.
Emma was confused, wondering where her father was taking her
However, she still said to Gilmore, “Come with my father!”
Then, they followed Leland into the pavilion.
Leland led the two of them to the first floor.
Then, he stepped into a study on that floor.
Walking to a bookshelf, he pushed it slightly to move it about four inches away, revealing the brick wall behind it.
Leland stretched out his palm and pressed down on a brick on the wall.
Surprisingly, the brick was pushed into the wall.
The next moment, two floor tiles about 40 inches in length and width opened downward, revealing a stairway. It turned out there was a secret path under the floor.
Faint lights came out of the underground secret path,
Leland looked at Emma and Gilmore as he said. “This path can lead you out of the Peach Secret Realm and to the outside of the Dragonspire Secret Realms.
“The two of you leave from this path.”
However, Emma shook her head at her father and said, “Father, I’m not leaving. The people from the other three Secret Realms are coming
“If I leave you alone to face them, I won’t forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
Leland was touched by her words.
However, he still said to her in a very strict and even angry tone, Emma, Leave with Gilmore!
“If you stay here and get caught by the people from the other three Secret Realms when they break in, you will not only fail to help me but also become my burden.
“If you still choose to stay, that will mean you want to get me killed.”
Leland pretended to be angry. This was the only thing he could go to force Emma to leave.

If they wasted more time, Emma might lose her life when the forces of the other three Secret Realms broke in.
Emma was heartbroken on hearing Leland’s words, tears welling up in her eyes.
She didn’t want to leave her father or let him face danger on his own.
However, she was too weak to be of any use to him.
In fact, if she were to stay behind, she might end up being captured by their enemies and implicate her father.
She certainly didn’t want that to happen.
Therefore, under Leland’s furious gaze, she
“I’ve lost Mom. I don’t want to lose you
said to him in a choked voice, “Father, take care.
Leland’s heart ached at the words. However, he dared not show any trace of sadness on his face.
“Emma, go now!” he said with a serious face.
“As long as you leave, I would have nothing else to worry about, and even if I lose the battle, I can escape safely,” he added.
Though he acted as if he would be fine, he knew that as long as the masters of the other three Secret Realms broke in, there would be a difficult battle awaiting him.
At that time, it would be even more impossible for him to escape as he wanted.
He would stand with the Peach Mansion, to survive or die.
In order to persuade Emma to leave with peace of mind, he deliberately played down the danger of the coming battle.
Emma was relieved a little bit when she heard that her father could escape safely.
Thus, she said to him, “Okay. Father, I will return to see you in a couple of days.”
“Why return? Don’t you want to witness more of the beautiful world outside with the man you love?” Leland asked with a smile.
“Or do you want me to support you for the rest of your life?”
Emma blushed. It was true that she wanted to leave the Dragonspire Secret Realms with Gilmore and see what the outside world was like.
She had left the Dragonspire Secret Realms before. But this time, it was different; she was with Gilmore,
So, she said to her father, “Well, I’ll live on my own in the future and won’t rely on you, okay?”
Leland laughed. “That’s more like it!”
Then, Leland reached into his pocket, took out something wrapped in yellow silk, and said to Emma, “These are the second and third volumes of the Longevity Scripture. Now, I’m giving them to you, as your wedding gift.”
Emma was a little surprised.
She didn’t expect that her father would give her those two volumes.

“Father, they are the most precious things of the Dragonspire Secret Realms,” she said, looking at her father.
“Our ancestors in the Four Great Secret Realms swore that the third volume must not leave the realms, or it would be regarded as a huge disrespect toward them.”
“And Everyone in the realms could kill whoever tried to do so, Emma tried to remind him.
However, Leland stuffed the two volumes wrapped in the yellow silk into her hands and said, “You are my only daughter, so the third volume will be passed down to you sooner or later.
“You have grown up, so you should shoulder the responsibility of guarding it.”
Leland deliberately evaded the consequences of his actions. He gave the Longevity Scripture to Emma because he didn’t know if he could survive the battle against the other realm masters.
Giving the volumes to Emma was the only way to protect them
In this way, even if he eventually died in the battle, the two volumes would still be in Emma’s hands.
On hearing this, Emma said to her father in a solemn tone, ‘Don’t worry, father. I will try my best to protect the Longevity Scripture.”
Leland nodded to his daughter and said, “I don’t doubt that.”
Then, he looked at the secret underground path and said to his daughter, “Hurry up and leave! Or it’ll be too late.
Emma nodded reluctantly to her father.
“Let’s go, Gilmore, Emma said to Gilmore.
“Okay,” Gilmore replied.
Then they walked to the entrance of the underground path and walked along the stairs.
Gilmore found that the path was about five feet wide and seven feet tall. There were lamps hanging on the roof.
With these lamps, it would be more convenient to walk in the path.
Gilmore and Emma entered the underground path.
Leland then pressed on another brick on the wall behind the bookshelf.
Bang!
This brick sunk into the wall just like the previous one.
With that, the two floor tiles, the entrance of the secret path, closed.
The floor returned to its original state. It was so flawless that no one else could tell there was a secret path hiding
underneath.
Leland moved the bookshelf back to its original position, hiding the mechanism behind it.
After that, he left the study.
