n“It’s you?!”

nBai Mengning recognized Feng Tianian, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

nShe quickly connected the dots between him and Yu Jingting’s words.

nSo, this man is the one who wants to see her?

nWhat does he know?

nIn the blink of an eye, Bai Mengning had many thoughts.

nSuddenly, she shouted, “Help…”

nBut before the words could leave her mouth, she saw him pointing a beam of white light at her.

nHer throat hurt, and her voice abruptly stopped.

nBai Mengning was shocked and turned to run.

nBut her body was restrained by an invisible force.

nRealizing there was no way to seek help and unable to move, Bai Mengning’s eyes finally revealed panic as she looked at Yu Jingting in disappointment and anxiety.

nYu Jingting was unclear about what was happening, but seeing Bai Mengning’s state, his heart softened.

nFeng Tianian said coldly, “Take her to the back garden.”

nYu Jingting shook, glancing at the man who had walked away.

nHe gave him a sense of profound and unpredictable danger.

nTherefore, Yu Jingting dared not speculate further and obediently followed.

nHe clasped his hands to Bai Mengning, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai.”

nAfter that, he grabbed Bai Mengning’s arm, lifted her, and quickly followed Feng Tianian.

nGu Qingluan was sitting on a rocky hill, talking to Kunlun Mirror.

nIn the short time that Feng Tianian went to capture Bai Mengning, she had gained a deep understanding of the Bai family.

nDuring the recent period, the Bai family had captured many children and beauties, all of whom were imprisoned in the secret tunnels beneath this fake mountain.

nKunlun Mirror was not interested in the deeds of the Bai family, so it did not inquire further.

nAll it could see was that people were brought to the underground secret room from time to time.

nHearing the approaching footsteps, Gu Qingluan concealed her presence and only came out when she saw Feng Tianian.

nShe glanced behind him.

nBai Mengning wasn’t surprised to see Gu Qingluan.

nSince the man she met that day was here, seeing this woman again was quite normal.

nShe couldn’t speak, so she could only glare at them, questioning why they had captured her.

nGu Qingluan smiled faintly. “Miss Bai, 1 need to borrow your hand.”

nSaying that, she dragged Bai Mengning to the place where the mechanism was activated and pressed Bai Mengning’s hand into a groove.

nNow Bai Mengning finally understood why they had tricked her out.

nIt turned out they had discovered the Bai family’s forbidden place!

nBai Mengning’s eyes went through a series of changes.

nHow did they find this place?

nWhat do they want?

nWith her palm on the groove, the mechanism remained motionless.

nKunlun Mirror said, “You need to infuse arcane power into it; only someone from the Bai family can make it work.”

nGu Qingluan raised an eyebrow at Bai Mengning, “Miss Bai, please use your arcane power. You wouldn’t want to suffer, would you?”

nBai Mengning curled her fingers, glaring at her with resentment, expressing her resistance.

nGu Qingluan calmly delivered a threatening message, “I advise Miss Bai to cooperate. If this hand becomes useless, 1 don’t mind exerting a little more effort to chop it off.”

nYu Jingting couldn’t help but glance at her upon hearing this.

nHe thought that the young master with the surname Xiao was cruel, but he didn’t expect this seemingly amiable woman to be equally ruthless when necessary.

nFeng Tianian appeared nonchalant, or more accurately, he looked interested, appreciating Gu Qingluan’s negotiating style.

nUpon hearing the threat, Bai Mengning first showed a hint of panic, but then, as if she realized that Gu Qingluan wouldn’t really cut her hand, she smirked at the woman, feeling confident.

nGu Qingluan made a tsk sound with her mouth, “It seems Miss Bai doesn’t believe me. Do you think I won’t take action?”

nShe raised her hand, and a sharp, gleaming dagger appeared in front of Bai Mengning.

nBai Mengning’s pupils suddenly contracted.

nGu Qingluan curved her lips and said, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t agree, this dagger will find its place on your wrist.”

nBai Mengning remained silent.

nGu Qingluan then tilted her head and glanced at Feng Tianian. “Why did she suddenly become mute?”

n“She was too noisy. So, I sealed her voice via acupoint,” Feng Tianian replied succinctly.

nGu Qingluan understood his meaning.

n“That’s better, so she won’t scream too loudly when her hand gets severed later.”

nYu Jingting:”…”

nYu Jingting silently distanced himself a bit from this couple.

nOne should never judge a book by its cover.

nHe had been too naive, thinking that these two were good people..
