Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Offering Masks! Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Offering Masks! A chilling voice ca from the other side: “Are you in the border village of Yun Province?”
Though it sounded like a question, the tone was certain.
Chi Chengyu was so frightened that he quickly looked around, his face turning pale.
Aside from the dense woods he could see, there were several village houses and a few sentries patrolling back and forth.
“No, I was just racing cars in town.”
“Racing cars in that kind of place? Chi Chengyu, do you think I’m a fool or do you think you’re clever?” Boyuan’s voice grew even colder, “Whatever you’re planning, leave that place within half an hour.”
“Brother…”
“Still want to call brother? Then get out of that place imdiately. Chi Chengyu, have you lost your mind? Going to that place, what are you trying to do? If you want to die, I won’t stop you, but don’t bring disaster on the whole family. Did you hear ? Get out of there.”
The anger in his voice was nearly a growl, icy and reaching its limit.
Chi Chengyu’s hand trembled as he held his phone.
“Brother Boyuan, I just wanted to do sothing for the family.”
“Do we, the Chi Family, engage in such dealings? Chi Chengyu, don’t get everyone killed. If I don’t hear from you within half an hour that you’ve left, I will co and capture you myself. Did you understand?”
Chi Chengyu was shocked!
Capture him?
Had he heard wrong?
Chi Chengyu’s face turned as white as a sheet, wanting to say sothing to Boyuan, but the line had already been disconnected.
He clutched his phone, pacing back and forth, unable to shake off his irritation; it only grew colder.
Suddenly, he swore, “Damn it,” and grabbed the car keys next to him, striding out.
Yang Fei and a few others had just returned and, seeing his hurried deanor, blocked his path: “Fifth Young Master, what’s happening?”
“I’m done,” Chi Chengyu said impatiently, “I don’t have the patience to wait for their deal to finish. Besides, I feel like this deal is a loss for , no guarantees, just a phone call inviting to join in, and if these people turn on , it’s not only trouble but also a loss of money.”
Yang Fei was taken aback, looking deeply at Chi Chengyu, “Fifth Young Master, it might be difficult for us to leave now.”
“What do you an?” Chi Chengyu’s expression changed, staring intently at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei sighed, “Once you enter the trading area, you have to wait until the deal is done before you can leave, that’s their rule here. Didn’t you hear them explain the rules when we ca in?”
Chi Chengyu was stunned, “No.”
“Even if we don’t participate in the deal, we still have to wait until both parties have completed their transaction before we can leave,” Yang Fei said, “Fifth Young Master, perhaps we should just go back and wait.”
“Wait for what! If Chi Chengyu wants to leave, would they dare to stop ?” Chi Chengyu suddenly felt sothing was off, “I want to leave now, imdiately! Yang Fei, don’t tell you’re in cahoots with them, also trying to keep here.”
Seeing Chi Chengyu’s explosive deanor, Yang Fei raised his hands, smiling bitterly: “I ca in with Fifth Young Master; I’m with Fifth Young Master. Do you think I could say anything here?”
Chi Chengyu eyed him suspiciously for a mont, then dropped his guard against Yang Fei, recalling Boyuan’s words, irritably saying, “We need to figure out a way to get out of here now.”
Yang Fei glanced around and ca closer, speaking softly, “If Fifth Young Master really wants to leave, we have to take the backroads.”
“The backroads?” Chi Chengyu’s eyebrows furrowed, “Go through the mountains, do you know the way?”
Damn it.
He, Chi Chengyu, had to sneak out, and it wasn’t as if he had done anything shaful.
“We’ve been up front and saw it, the exit to the highway is tightly guarded, and we even spotted them carrying weapons!”
Chi Chengyu stared at him wide-eyed, unable to conceal his shock!
*
Evening.
The sounds of heavy footsteps and breathing moved northward through the woods.
“Damn! How long are they going to chase us…”
“Fifth Young Master, we can’t run anymore,” Yang Fei, running alongside Chi Chengyu, said with a bitter smile before crashing heavily to the ground.
At the sa ti, Chi Chengyu also tripped over a trap on the ground.
“Damn!”
He couldn’t help but swear again.
He, Chi Chengyu, also had such a disgraceful day.
Just over an hour ago, he and Yang Fei took a shortcut together, but they were discovered, and a group of n wielding weapons chased after them.
They chased incessantly.
He ran for his life but couldn’t escape.
The local people quickly surrounded him; so shouted to get rid of him, while others opposed.
Chi Chengyu almost cried out.
Chi Chengyu was tightly bound; now, he didn’t even have a chance to escape.
He regretted it.
Regretted his greed for big actions and big money.
They had been running for over an hour and ended up back at the village.
And by this ti, it had gotten dark.
It was almost ti for the deal.
Chi Chengyu watched the lights turn on and felt a wave of fear in his heart.
He wanted to call Chi Boyuan for help but realized he had lost his phone at so point.
Chi Chengyu’s face turned pale and ashen.
Seeing the group muttering, soone used a phone to inform the other party involved in the transaction, ntioning so sensitive keywords.
Upon hearing this, not only did Chi Chengyu’s face turn pale, but he also felt waves of darkness before his eyes.
He finally understood what Chi Boyuan ant by those words.
“Snap!”
There was a sudden noise from a cottage at the foot of the hill.
The people waiting for the transaction turned around and imdiately scread, “The Sacrificial Hall is on fire!”
Everyone snapped to and fetched buckets, fire extinguishers, and snapped off cypress branches—whatever could be used to fight the fire.
It was clear how much they cared about the Sacrificial Hall.
Chi Chengyu looked timidly upwards, and in the dimness, he saw the fire growing fiercer.
Just as everyone ran towards that direction, a slender figure erged from behind where Chi Chengyu was standing.
“Who’s there!”
Yang Fei’s eyes narrowed sharply, staring intensely at the slender figure.
Seeing the Guan Gong mask on the face of the other, several people were stunned.
Besides the mask which hid the face, the figure’s clean, moon-like presence captivated everyone.
The people guarding Chi Chengyu suddenly realized, “This is a mask from the Sacrificial Hall! She’s the one who set the fire!”
This statent imdiately ignited the anger of those who hadn’t yet gone to put out the fire.
They recklessly pulled out their weapons and fired at the figure.
The unblemished figure dodged like a ghost; within monts, they saw her appear behind them, disarm the assailants, and knock them out by pressing against their foreheads.
The others had just raised their equipnt when they were swiftly knocked out on the spot, the whole affair taking just a minute or two.
Watching her appear like a deity, and disarm over a dozen n with ease like a war god, Chi Chengyu’s eyes widened more and more!
Adoration overflowed from his expression!
“Click.”
The cold barrel pressed against Yang Fei’s forehead.
The atmosphere suddenly froze!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
A second before the sound ca from behind, the slender shadow crisply turned around and fired.
Two tal objects collided, sparking briefly.
The man shooting from the slope saw the falling tal debris and was stunned montarily.
