Qingyun and Daylight's expressions changed when they heard this. Qingyun was still alright, firstly, he was already prepared, and secondly, he wasn't worried about anything happening to Bai Chen.
However, during the day, when he heard those words, he nearly got mad. He was busy hiding something from the other side, and someone had suddenly come out and told him the truth. The consequences would be unimaginable.
However, his reaction during the day was not slow either. He quickly recalled the words that the other party had said: Bai Chen and the others came out of the treasure cave.
In this way, he could continue to lie, saying that because Bai Chen was his own family, in order to receive him, the Bai Clan had allowed him to enter the treasure cave to search for treasures.
Just as he was about to explain the situation to Qing Yun, the steward, who had no discerning eyes, added, ”Originally, I wanted to let Bai Qing take the opportunity to finish Bai Chen off, but who would have thought that after they came out, Bai Chen did not have a single wound on him. He looked better than when we first went in, and Bai Qing and the rest were covered in injuries.
After saying that, the butler noticed that there was someone else in the room. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Qing Yun speak first, ”This is what you said. It doesn't look like it? ”
When he heard these words and felt the overwhelming pressure coming from Qing Yun, he was even more anxious. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only vent his anger on the steward beside him and say coldly, ”What nonsense are you spouting? Besides, you were the one who arranged for them to go to the treasure cave a while ago, weren't you? Could it be Bai Chen? Even if there is, who gave you the guts to do so? ”
He opened his mouth, but just as he was about to explain, he heard Qing Yun say, ”You all have your own reasons. According to what Master Bai said, it seems like you have never seen Bai Chen, so let's do it this way, I will follow you to take a look at the two disciples that have returned from the treasure cave. If Bai Chen is here, I can bring him back, and we can return the innocence of the Lord.”
These words caused Daylight's heart to slightly sink. He wanted to refuse, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He was forced to agree.
At this moment, Bai Chen, Bai Qing and the rest were already waiting outside. Bai Qing and the others were all severely injured, and some of them even had their arms cut off. The rest of them were not much better off, either because they were heavily injured, or because of the obvious scars on their bodies.
Only Bai Chen appeared graceful and elegant. It was as if he had never entered the cave and had only stood outside.
Qing Yun had already seen through Bai Chen's intentions during the day. Although he didn't know why the other party would do this to Bai Chen, it seemed like Bai Chen hadn't suffered any losses. Qing Yun also understood the kind of person his disciple was.
Bai Chen was someone who would not lose out no matter where he went. At this moment, the great battle was imminent, and seeing that Bai Chen was not injured, he still looked lively and energetic, not to mention that his mental state had improved by quite a bit. His cultivation had also increased by a lot, so Qing Yun was too lazy to vent his anger on him.
Bai Chen had nothing to do at this time, and there were even more urgent matters that he needed the other party's help with. Thus, the matters of the Bai Clan could only be dealt with in the future.
At this moment, Bai Chen was still standing by the side, trying to think of an explanation, an excuse, or what kind of explanation he should come up with in order to get Bai Chen to speak up for him. Just as he was panicking, he heard Qing Yun asking, ”Are you alright?”
