“It’s you?!”
Bai Mengning recognized Feng Tianian, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
She quickly connected the dots between him and Yu Jingting’s words.
So, this man is the one who wants to see her?
What does he know?
In the blink of an eye, Bai Mengning had many thoughts.
Suddenly, she shouted, “Help…”
But before the words could leave her mouth, she saw him pointing a beam of white light at her.
Her throat hurt, and her voice abruptly stopped.
Bai Mengning was shocked and turned to run.
But her body was restrained by an invisible force.
Realizing there was no way to seek help and unable to move, Bai Mengning’s eyes finally revealed panic as she looked at Yu Jingting in disappointment and anxiety.
Yu Jingting was unclear about what was happening, but seeing Bai Mengning’s state, his heart softened.
Feng Tianian said coldly, “Take her to the back garden.”
Yu Jingting shook, glancing at the man who had walked away.
He gave him a sense of profound and unpredictable danger.
Therefore, Yu Jingting dared not speculate further and obediently followed.
He clasped his hands to Bai Mengning, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai.”
After that, he grabbed Bai Mengning’s arm, lifted her, and quickly followed Feng Tianian.
Gu Qingluan was sitting on a rocky hill, talking to Kunlun Mirror.
In the short time that Feng Tianian went to capture Bai Mengning, she had gained a deep understanding of the Bai family.
During the recent period, the Bai family had captured many children and beauties, all of whom were imprisoned in the secret tunnels beneath this fake mountain.
Kunlun Mirror was not interested in the deeds of the Bai family, so it did not inquire further.
All it could see was that people were brought to the underground secret room from time to time.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Gu Qingluan concealed her presence and only came out when she saw Feng Tianian.
She glanced behind him.
Bai Mengning wasn’t surprised to see Gu Qingluan.
Since the man she met that day was here, seeing this woman again was quite normal.
She couldn’t speak, so she could only glare at them, questioning why they had captured her.
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “Miss Bai, 1 need to borrow your hand.”
Saying that, she dragged Bai Mengning to the place where the mechanism was activated and pressed Bai Mengning’s hand into a groove.
Now Bai Mengning finally understood why they had tricked her out.
It turned out they had discovered the Bai family’s forbidden place!
Bai Mengning’s eyes went through a series of changes.
How did they find this place?
What do they want?
With her palm on the groove, the mechanism remained motionless.
Kunlun Mirror said, “You need to infuse arcane power into it; only someone from the Bai family can make it work.”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow at Bai Mengning, “Miss Bai, please use your arcane power. You wouldn’t want to suffer, would you?”
Bai Mengning curled her fingers, glaring at her with resentment, expressing her resistance.
Gu Qingluan calmly delivered a threatening message, “I advise Miss Bai to cooperate. If this hand becomes useless, 1 don’t mind exerting a little more effort to chop it off.”
Yu Jingting couldn’t help but glance at her upon hearing this.
He thought that the young master with the surname Xiao was cruel, but he didn’t expect this seemingly amiable woman to be equally ruthless when necessary.
Feng Tianian appeared nonchalant, or more accurately, he looked interested, appreciating Gu Qingluan’s negotiating style.
Upon hearing the threat, Bai Mengning first showed a hint of panic, but then, as if she realized that Gu Qingluan wouldn’t really cut her hand, she smirked at the woman, feeling confident.
Gu Qingluan made a tsk sound with her mouth, “It seems Miss Bai doesn’t believe me. Do you think I won’t take action?”
She raised her hand, and a sharp, gleaming dagger appeared in front of Bai Mengning.
Bai Mengning’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Gu Qingluan curved her lips and said, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t agree, this dagger will find its place on your wrist.”
Bai Mengning remained silent.
Gu Qingluan then tilted her head and glanced at Feng Tianian. “Why did she suddenly become mute?”
“She was too noisy. So, I sealed her voice via acupoint,” Feng Tianian replied succinctly.
Gu Qingluan understood his meaning.
“That’s better, so she won’t scream too loudly when her hand gets severed later.”
Yu Jingting:”…”
Yu Jingting silently distanced himself a bit from this couple.
One should never judge a book by its cover.
He had been too naive, thinking that these two were good people..
