"You..."
The voice came, and Gui Wu immediately clutched her chest, her chest heaving violently.
With just that one sentence, she almost choked on her own blood.
How could the other party be so confident? She wished she could personally kill him, yet he spoke such shameless words!
Thinking of this, a hint of sorrow flashed in Gui Wu's eyes. It was all because she had become a prisoner, powerless to resist, left to be slaughtered and toyed with by everyone.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart filled with grief and indignation. Finally, those unruly tears trickled down her beautiful face.
Uh...
Watching the crystal tears fall, Ye Cangtian was stunned. He suddenly felt like he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and bullying a girl.
Heaven's conscience, the other party had scolded him for so many days, and he wasn't even allowed to retort verbally?
The next moment, he quickly stepped forward, pulled out a tissue, and handed it over. "I was just kidding, don't be angry. Do you still want to know when you can get out?"
Hmm?
Gui Wu did not appreciate Ye Cangtian's offer of a step down. What she cared about was his last sentence.
She took the tissue and wiped away her tears before saying fiercely, "Hurry up and tell me! When will you let me go!"
"To achieve complete freedom, it depends on your performance."
"However, if you want to get some fresh air, it will be at least one month, at most two months, that should be about right."
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment and answered seriously.
Before taking Gui Wu to the headquarters of the Dark Association, he had to safely deliver Yao Bao'er to the headquarters of the Hidden Group.
On one hand, Shangguan Yanran's condition was not optimistic and couldn't wait.
On the other hand, although Yao Bao'er's strength had improved, she was currently only at the Yellow rank.
With such low strength, even if she knew how to use poison, she would find it difficult to guarantee her safety in the secret realms of Huaxia.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian had to escort Yao Bao'er. As for other matters, they could only be postponed.
"What! You want to lock me up for another two months? I'll fight you to the death!"
On the other side, upon hearing this, Gui Wu instantly flew into a rage and lunged at Ye Cangtian.
She didn't know how she had endured the past month. If she were locked up for another two months, she would definitely go insane!
Rather than that, she might as well die at the hands of this scoundrel today.
"Be quiet. All of this is for your own good!"
Ye Cangtian had no choice but to restrain Gui Wu again and said grimly, "Think about it, as an abandoned pawn of the Shinobu, if they find out you've fallen into my hands, what will happen?"
Ye Cangtian did not reveal the actual situation of the Shinobu to Gui Wu.
Although Gui Wu was an abandoned pawn of the Shinobu, the Shinobu had still nurtured her for so many years, and she likely still harbored some feelings for them.
If he were to tell her about these circumstances now, he worried she wouldn't be able to bear it. Coupled with the two months of imprisonment, she might choose to end her own life.
Therefore, it was better not to mention it, which might leave her with a sliver of hope in her heart.
Gui Wu's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
Regardless of whether she was an abandoned pawn or not, as long as she fell into the hands of Huaxia, even if she surrendered, the Shinobu would definitely try to eliminate her without hesitation.
The reason was simple: she was considered a high-ranking member of the Shinobu and knew some of their secrets.
And rescuing her from the Hidden Group would be far more difficult than eliminating her.
Furthermore, she was now useless, of no value to the Shinobu, so they would definitely send someone to get rid of her.
Thinking of this, Gui Wu snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it just death? Rather than suffering torture here, it's better to die!"
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but I hope you consider it carefully."
"I always keep my word. I said I would help you heal and recover your strength, and I will definitely do it!"
"You just need to choose whether to die or endure for two months and then recover your strength!"
Ye Cangtian was getting a headache from Gui Wu's fuss and had truly lost his patience, his tone becoming somewhat displeased.
On the other side, Gui Wu fell silent again.
All along, she had thought that Po Xiao's promise to help her recover her strength was just an excuse to imprison her indefinitely.
But now, seeing the anger flickering in his eyes, she inexplicably believed him.
Gui Wu hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a huge decision, and said through gritted teeth, "Alright, I'll trust you one last time, but I have a condition!"
"Speak." Ye Cangtian said.
"I want to see the light, I want to breathe fresh air, I want to feel the free wind..."
"It won't be long, just one minute is enough!"
Gui Wu's eyes were filled with helplessness and longing. Her body was not her own, and even enjoying these simple things had become a luxury, something she had to beg for.
But there was no other way. Living like this, she would go mad at any moment. Only by feeling these things could she possibly endure for another month or two...
Facing Gui Wu's yearning gaze, Ye Cangtian finally agreed.
He finally understood that Gui Wu, who instilled fear in all factions, also had a fragile and innocent side.
All she wanted was light, air, and the free wind...
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian nodded, communicated with the guards, and then brought Gui Wu to the courtyard in Tianzi No. 1.
The next moment, he saw another side of Gui Wu: a side that embraced freedom with open arms and a heartfelt smile.
Sixty seconds, long and yet short.
It was so long that it etched this side of Gui Wu into Ye Cangtian's mind.
It was a fleeting moment, and when the 60 seconds were up, Gui Wu returned to Ye Cangtian's side with a satisfied smile.
"As promised, no more than two months. If you go over, come back to collect my corpse!"
"I hope you don't betray my trust in you!"
With that, Gui Wu did not wait for him to urge her or for him to reply. Instead, like a cheerful girl, she willingly entered Tianzi No. 1.
Watching Gui Wu's retreating figure, Ye Cangtian realized for the first time that Gui Wu was truly beautiful.
It wasn't her pretty face, but that innocent smile.
"Don't worry, I said I always keep my word!"
He said faintly, then turned and left Tianzi No. 1 directly.
...
The next morning, the sun rose again.
A knock at the door caught everyone's attention.
When Gu Qin opened the door and found her savior Yao Bao'er standing there, she was instantly overjoyed and gave her a big hug.
Ever since receiving Ye Cangtian's message yesterday, Yao Bao'er had immediately packed her bags and flown directly to the capital.
She finally arrived before Ye Cangtian left in the morning.
A moment later.
Ye Cangtian took out an ancient secret manual from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Yao Bao'er. "Here, this is for you. As for snacks, there are plenty..."
"Boss, you're the best!"
Looking at the ancient secret manual on medicine, Yao Bao'er's eyes lit up. After saying something to Ye Cangtian, she walked aside and began to study it intently.
Thus, Ye Cangtian gave Yao Bao'er the ancient secret manual he had extorted from Hasal.
this ancient secret manual was about medicine, so it was only useful to Yao Bao'er.
Soon, he no longer concealed anything and directly explained Shangguan Yanran's condition.
When Yao Bao'er heard about Shangguan Yanran's situation, her brows furrowed deeply.
"If it were ordinary head trauma, I could try one or two things, perhaps even cure it. But if it was caused by some ancient cultivation technique, then I might be powerless..."
Yao Bao'er did not hide anything and spoke frankly.
Ancient cultivation techniques were mysterious and profound, and it was truly difficult for modern people to master them.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Regardless of whether there is a solution or not, this matter is now entrusted to you. Just do your best. Also, I need to tell you that you have to come with me to the Huaxia Ruins."
Huh?
Yao Bao'er was stunned, but before she could speak, Ye Cangtian explained to her.
Given Shangguan Yanran's current special condition, she probably wouldn't be able to pass the grand formation at the entrance of the Huaxia Ruins. Therefore, they had to bring Yao Bao'er along to treat her.
What he worried about most now was Yao Bao'er's attitude towards Huaxia.
