Chapter 1125: Youre nex (1/2)

t

Long Feiye’s group clearly witnessed Bai Yanqing walking down from the double layer walls of the stone room! Then did that mean his hostage was imprisoned inside?

“Where’s Ning Jing? Bai Yanqing, give Ning Jing back or less I’ll kill you!” Tang Li was already on the verge of losing control. Ning Jing’s screams had completely pushed him over the edge of rationality.

Wrath, agitation, anxiety, worry, and fear flooded through his heart along with a mix of negative emotions. If he couldn’t see Ning Jing, he had no idea when he’d go mad! Fortunately, Long Feiye held him tight, or else he’d be in Bai Yanqing’s hands by now.

“Give Ning Jing back to me, you hear?!”

“What’s a man doing kidnapping women? What else can you do? Speak!”

“You motherf****ing release them all if you have any guts! I’ll fight you one on one! Do you dare?”

“Bai Yanqing, you coward!”

Bai Yanqing allowed Tang Li to rant as he pleased while ignoring him utterly. His attention was wholly focused on Long Feiye. Despite having his lover kidnapped, Long Feiye’s reaction was exactly opposite of Tang Li’s. He looked at Bai Yanqing coldly without a single change in expression, leaving it hard to read his thoughts. This cold and steady calm was something worthy of admiration in Bai Yanqing’s eyes.

“Looks like the East Qin crown prince doesn’t mind if your beloved dies,” Bai Yanqing smiled frostily.

“She won’t die,” Long Feiye’s voice was like ice, but he was very certain.

Bai Yanqing detested Long Feiye’s attitude, as if he was lording over him. He snapped, “That’s too soon to say. Don’t regret your words later!”

“What a joke!” Long Feiye’s mocking intensified. “Bai Yanqing, you simply want us to fail our dual cultivation and kill each other so East and West Qin can keep up the fighting and chaos. You won’t kill her; rather, you’d raise her up and set her on an altar. Why else would you get her medicine after her failed miscarriage?”

Long Feiye was actually quite anxious inside, but since he’d been calm all this time, he could afford to wait a bit longer. There had to be a hostage in the stone room--at the very least, Ning Jing was there. Moreover, the room had a trap, so they wouldn’t go in unless absolutely necessary.

Even if there were no traps, a sealed area like the stone room was an easy place for Bai Yanqing to release his poisons. They needed to avoid that in the nick of time and the confined spaces would make it difficult. It was better to drag things on with the man until they found a breakthrough in their strategy.

He refused to believe Bai Yanqing could still escape when he was right in front of their eyes!

Bai Yanqing didn’t seem to care that they’d seen through his schemes. At this point, he had no patience to fool around with these young’uns anymore. Today, he was determined to imprison Long Feiye.

In the end, Bai Yanqing looked towards the irascible Tang Li first while pointing a hand at Long Feiye. “It’s fine to fight one on one, but he’s doing it. Whoever doesn’t dare is the coward.”

Before Long Feiye could answer, Gu Qishao suddenly broke into wild laughter. “Rotten old man, you don’t even have to guts to duel Tang Li, so why are you picking on Long Feiye?”

Bai Yanqing wouldn’t be instigated by such a small insult. He ignored Gu Qishao and simply cast Long Feiye a cold look, waiting for him to agree.

However, Gu Qishao’s mouth had seen his share of victims--besides Long Feiye, of course. Being ignored didn’t deter him, but simply stirred him up. “Oh, that’s right! I forgot you were a coward to start with! When Poison lass said she’d castrate you, you were too scared to show your face!”

At this, Bai Yanqing’s gaze fell on Gu Qishao. Besides Long Feiye and Han Yunxi, he’d never bothered with anyone else. He only knew Gu Qishao had been raised on medicine from the womb and was simply some experimental subject who had escaped death.

“Oh!” Gu Qishao slapped his thighs, the sudden action drawing the attention of the others as well. They had no idea what he was doing, but now even Bai Yanqing’s sights were set on him.

Gu Qishao said, “Long Feiye, this old man suddenly remembered something! Tsk tsk, why didn’t I recall it back then?”

“What is it?” Long Feiye asked icily. Although he wasn’t sure what Gu Qishao was driving at, he was certain this was an act. Thus, he was very willing to play along.

Gu Qishao narrowed his eyes as if in thought, then said, “Long Feiye, do you think this old thing’s actually a eunuch? Otherwise, why would he insist on hiding himself even after Han Yunxi vowed to castrate him?”
