Gu Ruoyun merely smiled serenely and did not answer the man’s question. However, she was vigilant from head to toe as she tagged along by the man’s side.
A cave soon appeared within their sights. Gu Ruoyun was startled for a moment and her eyes flashed with vigilance.
“Yun’er, Zuo Shangchen should be here. Come, let’s go in and have a look.”
The man smiled as he walked towards Gu Ruoyun’s side. He then lifted his hand to place it on her shoulder but perhaps Zuo Shangchen’s news had excited her too much as she had quickly rushed into the cave and avoided his touch.
The man furrowed his brows as he looked at the woman’s disappearing figure. However, he did not think too much of it and followed Gu Ruoyun into the cave…
From the outside, the mountain cave’s interior looked pitch black. However, when after walking into the cave, one would be greeted by a dazzling sight. It even gave off a faint sense of sumptuous luxury.
“Evildoer!”
Gu Ruoyun immediately saw the mischievous-looking man who was nailed to a stone pillar and quickly rushed towards him.
The evildoer seemed to have heard her voice and slowly opened his eyes. He was shocked and returned to his senses when he saw the lucid and elegant woman in front of him. He opened his mouth at her but could not make a sound.
However, Gu Ruoyun could read his lips and saw that he was asking her to flee!
“Yun’er, I think this place must be very dangerous so Zuo Shangchen wants you to leave quickly.” The man also read Zuo Shangchen’s lips and lifted his mouth into a confusing smile. He then slowly stepped forward and turned his demonic eyes towards the evildoer who was nailed to the stone pillar.
“Xiao Ye, what’s the meaning of this?” Gu Ruoyun looked at Zuo Shangchen as she frowned and asked, “Why is Zuo Shangchen unable to speak?”
Qianbei Ye looked at Zuo Shangchen and calmly replied, “He seems to have been poisoned. As a result, he cannot speak. Besides, now that he’s been nailed to that stone pillar, I reckon that it won’t be so easy to bring him with us.”
The evildoer’s arms and legs had been nailed firmly onto the stone pillar and his entire body was stained with dried blood. Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled when she saw this and the murderous intent in her eyes darkened.
“I’m bringing him with us no matter what. If I find the culprit who had done this, I won’t rest until he is dead!”
These words were directed at the silver-haired man next to her. Her clear and cool gaze carried a determined air and caused the man’s heart to quiver. It gave him the impression that she had seen through his charade.
However, the woman’s voice rang out once again, “Xiao Ye, you’ll help me, right?”
The man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Thank goodness! She had said those things to me not because she had seen through my act but because she wants my help.
“Yun’er, I will help you no matter what you want to do.”
Qianbei Ye raised his lips and smiled. The look in his eyes was as tender as ever.
However, Gu Ruoyun could see that she was not in his eyes at all! All that tenderness was merely for display.
“Evildoer, hang in there. I will get you out of this.”
Gu Ruoyun said as she slowly walked to Zuo Shangchen’s side.
