"My lord need not worry, they are safe."
Lu Zhu stood outside the carriage, reporting to Gu Qianying while also warily observing their surroundings.
The street was crowded, but also chaotic.
Hearing Lu Zhu's words, Gu Qianying didn't say much.
"Is there anything unusual with Gao Tian Shou?"
Gu Qianying glanced outside through the carriage curtain.
Lu Zhu shook her head. "Nothing unusual. While we monitor Gao Tian Shou, we are also protecting Young Master Bai Li Su. Song Pan Yang has sent people to the dungeon multiple times, intending to harm Young Master Bai Li Su, but how could those people be a match for Gao Tian Shou?"
"My lord, rest assured, Young Master Bai Li Su is very safe. With Gao Tian Shou around, no one can harm the young master."
"Have the people tracking Song Pan Yang found Bai Li Jing Xuan?"
For the past few days, she had been having people monitor the Song Estate.
She was aware of Song Pan Yang's return.
She could guess that Madam Song would try to persuade him.
However, what she most wanted to know now was where Song Pan Yang had imprisoned Bai Li Jing Xuan.
During the time she had known Bai Li Jing Xuan, she understood his character very well.
It was precisely because of this that she did not believe Bai Li Jing Xuan was the murderer of Song Wu Ji.
There must be some conspiracy involved.
She had started to suspect when Song Pan Yang had not appeared.
"He has not been found, my lord. If Young Master Jing Xuan cannot be found soon, why don't we simply raze the Song Estate, capture Song Pan Yang, and force him to hand over Young Master Jing Xuan?"
This was what Lu Zhu found most confusing.
It was also what had been bothering her.
"Song Pan Yang is a man of deep schemes. Are you sure that by holding him hostage, you can make him hand over Bai Li Jing Xuan?"
Lu Zhu was speechless.
She wasn't entirely sure about that.
"With Song Pan Yang alone, this sect leader has many ways to deal with him. However, when the person behind him will appear, this sect leader is quite curious. Bai Li Jing Xuan is of the Bai Li family. Besides being able to blackmail Bai Li Su, he is also the biological son of Old Master Bai Li."
The secret of the Song family's ancestral hall remained undiscovered even after everyone went together, which meant that even if we went a second time, it would still be the same.
"The one who secretly raised Song Wu Ji back then was Old Master Bai Li. Old Master Bai Li was also the most trusted person by the old city lord. Old Master Bai Li must know the secret of the Song family's ancestral hall."
"And to completely obtain the treasure they speak of, the key person is Old Master Bai Li."
"Therefore, Song Pan Yang's double-edged purpose is Old Master Bai Li."
Hearing Gu Qianying say this.
Lu Zhu suddenly understood.
"But... but my lord, Old Master Bai Li doesn't know martial arts and is completely powerless. It's easy to capture him. Why is Song Pan Yang making things so complicated? Drawing such a large circle?"
This was another point Lu Zhu couldn't understand.
"Old Master Bai Li appears to be without martial arts on a daily basis, but in reality, his martial arts are very strong, and his internal energy is profound. It is not easy for ordinary people to capture him."
Hearing this, Lu Zhu was shocked. Her mouth hung open.
Old Master Bai Li knew martial arts? She truly hadn't noticed that.
It was clear that Old Master Bai Li's disguise was too good.
"My lord, if we bring the elderly Bai Li couple back to our Jue Sha Sect, Old Master Bai Li would likely not know about the events in the city. In this way, how can Song Pan Yang lure him out? And thus, Young Master Bai Li Jing Xuan will be even harder to find."
After understanding the general situation, Lu Zhu was very worried.
If Bai Li Jing Xuan couldn't be found, Bai Li Su would not be able to return.
"Who says Old Master Bai Li isn't going? He will definitely go."
With that, Gu Qianying wiped her face with her sleeve. When Lu Zhu looked at her face again, she was astonished.
"My lord, you are..."
How similar or not?
Lu Zhu nodded. "It's similar."
At this moment, she admired her own lord even more.
Her lord was so amazing.
"This sect leader heard that a handsome young man has arrived at the Song family?"
Lu Zhu had investigated this person.
"Yes, my lord. This person is called Li Feng. He is a merchant. On his way of doing business, he encountered the injured Song Pan Yang and then rescued Song Pan Yang and sent him back to the Song Estate. Your subordinate also heard that Miss Yu'er has a good impression of this person and personally saw him off."
"It seems Miss Yu'er has a favorable impression of this Young Master Li."
Listening to Lu Zhu's words, Gu Qianying casually removed the human skin mask from her face.
"Investigate this person's background and tie him up and bring him back to Jue Sha Sect tomorrow."
Gu Qianying commanded.
She didn't have much patience for those people.
"Yes, my lord."
Lu Zhu obeyed.
"You can go back now. This sect leader still has matters to attend to."
After saying this, Gu Qianying put on a face covering.
Then, she got out of the carriage.
"Yes, my lord."
Lu Zhu obeyed and left.
Late at night, in the dungeon, Bai Li Su sat cross-legged, holding a book, reading it very seriously.
It was a book on health preservation and dietary therapy to nourish the body.
He was reading with great interest.
Gao Tian Shou had been guarding the prison cell.
Ever since Song Pan Yang sent people to provoke them, he had stopped allowing food to be sent here.
He was a spirit beast and could survive without food, eating once every seven days.
However, Young Master Bai Li Su inside was a mortal and could not go hungry.
For this reason, for the past few days, he had been sneaking out in the dead of night to find food for Bai Li Su.
Sometimes, he even thought he could directly rescue Young Master Bai Li Su.
He had proposed this matter many times.
But Young Master Bai Li Su had always disagreed.
Young Master Bai Li Su said that he wanted to be an upright person and that he believed Jing Xuan did not poison Young Master Song.
If he were to open the prison now, it would be tantamount to convicting Bai Li Jing Xuan as the murderer.
After much thought, he felt that Young Master Bai Li Su's consideration was very thorough.
Later, he no longer brought up the matter and continued to guard Young Master Bai Li Su.
During this period, he had also killed many people who had tried to harm Young Master Bai Li Su.
Those people deserved to die!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by.
A dark figure appeared.
"Who!"
Gao Tian Shou immediately drew his sword and thrust it at the dark figure.
Almost at the same moment, a jade-like hand extended from a sleeve and caught Gao Tian Shou's sword with just two fingers.
The opponent was wearing a black robe and a mask.
To catch his sword with two fingers, Gao Tian Shou was shocked.
Looking at this, the opponent was definitely a formidable character.
Just as Gao Tian Shou was about to transform into a beast and attack the opponent.
A voice sounded in his ear: "It's me!"
Such a familiar voice made Gao Tian Shou pause.
Then, the opponent removed the mask covering their face.
Gao Tian Shou saw the opponent's face clearly...
