Chapter 624: 337 Cunning Old Fox_2
Bai Zhengyi watched with relief as Yiming finally didn’t act foolishly and nodded, “Regardless of whether he might take advantage of this situation to create trouble, it’s always wise to be cautious. Bai Ye is, after all, a mber of the Bai Family, and if we take action ourselves and word gets out, it will be extrely detrintal to the reputation of the Bai Family!”
Bai Yi naturally understood his aning, but he was a bit worried, “But since Zhao Qiankun has intentionally made us act, will his people really take the bait if we do? The fear is that Zhao Qiankun’s n won’t take the bait, and we would lose such a great opportunity and inadvertently benefit Bai Ye!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhengyi smiled aningfully, “Rest assured, Zhao Qiankun’s n will definitely act! He just recently contacted to ask when we’ll make our move, obviously eager to kill Bai Ye.”
Hearing this, Bai Yi was surprised, “How could that be? That doesn’t sound like sothing a clever person would do. Didn’t he seem very astute during our negotiations this morning? How could it change just after midday?” Bai Yi thought it was strange and couldn’t help asking, “Dad, don’t tell Zhao Qiankun is pretending to be foolish to trick us?”
Bai Zhengyi narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then finally shook his head, “No, though Zhao Qiankun is capable, unfortunately, he’s always been prone to making mistakes concerning won! This man is not to be feared!”
“Won?” Bai Yi was puzzled, desperately trying to think of any connection between Bai Ye and won; then he suddenly rembered, astonished, “Dad, you don’t an Fang Yuxin, do you? I think Zhao Qiankun seems to have taken a liking to her, but she might already be with Bai Ye.” He said this while recalling the events of last night.
Due to his relationship with Qiu Yiming, Bai Yi couldn’t bring himself to like Fang Yuxin. In his opinion, since Qiu Yiming so cherished Fang Yuxin, how could she abandon Qiu Yiming and throw herself into soone else’s arms? Moreover, that person was Bai Ye! He felt even more uncomfortable, always feeling that Fang Yuxin was nothing but a fickle and disreputable woman.
However, recalling the banquet last night, he gained a new understanding of Fang Yuxin; this woman was exceptionally beautiful, seemingly shrewd, and particularly sharp-witted, making it difficult for anyone to overco her in discourse! Those who tried to provoke her last night, whether it was Qin Xiran, Qu Qianlin, or later Cheng Lin, without exception, all failed to gain the upper hand and were fiercely rebutted by her!
Although Bai Yi still harbored significant prejudice against Fang Yuxin, he had to admit, though just a second-level Wood Elent Superpower User, she was much stronger than the almost third-level Cheng Lin! Whether in terms of intelligence or beauty, Cheng Lin was far inferior to Fang Yuxin, no wonder Zhao Qiankun was attracted.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help laughing and said to Bai Zhengyi, “Dad, that Fang Yuxin seems to be a formidable person. If Bai Ye really gets killed by Zhao Qiankun’s n, and she becos Zhao Qiankun’s woman, perhaps we can use her to deal with Zhao Qiankun in the future.”
Bai Zhengyi nodded in agreent, suddenly feeling that Bai Yi had matured! Thus, he felt increasingly reassured. He thought to himself, Bai Yi had always been outshone by Bai Ye over the years, suppressing him so much that he seed sowhat depressed. If Bai Ye were to die, perhaps it could eliminate the Heart Demon in Bai Yi’s heart, free him from that invisible shackling, and allow him to be reborn.
The re thought of this possibility filled his heart with anticipation.
However, Bai Yi was thinking of sothing else; he had originally planned to send Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye to Dr. Sun as subjects for experintation, but unfortunately, the research institute had been destroyed by Zhao Qiankun, and Dr. Sun’s whereabouts were unknown. Nevertheless, if Fang Yuxin were to indeed confront Zhao Qiankun, there might be a great show to watch!
As the father and son pondered how to kill Bai Ye and then let Fang Yuxin deal with Zhao Qiankun to avenge Bai Ye, two of the people they were thinking about, Bai Ye, was currently in the study discussing matters with Bai Zhengli, whereas Fang Yuxin had returned to the Qingmu Spirit Mansion to cultivate, completely unaware of their sches.
When Fang Yuxin re-entered the Qingmu Spirit Mansion, instead of ditating, she went directly into the trial land. As the True Yuan was channeled into the gate of the trial land, the runes on the door lit up, and a flash of white light crossed Fang Yuxin’s vision, transporting her into the trial land. She found herself teleported directly into one of the rooms. To her surprise, apart from a half-ter-wide area around her where she could see clearly, the rest was filled with thick fog, obscuring her vision completely.
She released her Spiritual Sense to explore, but even the Spiritual Sense couldn’t penetrate the dense fog, leaving the contents unknown.
Fang Yuxin imdiately beca alert. Unable to see her surroundings and the dense fog obscuring her vision, she felt extrely uneasy. Her instincts on high alert, she drew out the Blood Blade, holding it firmly, her eyes scanning around while her ears perked up, vigilantly guarding against anything that might happen around her.
Just then, she suddenly heard a whizzing sound from behind her to the right, moving at a trendous speed! Swiftly, she swung the Blood Blade, hearing a “snap” as sothing struck the blade. The fierce force transmitted through the handle numbed her hand!
Fang Yuxin frowned; what on earth was that? Even with her current vision, she couldn’t see clearly!
Soon, the whizzing sound ca again, also from behind, seemingly determined to attack from the back. Fang Yuxin reacted swiftly, turning around and swinging her Blood Blade once more. This ti, there was another “snap,” but with a difference—when she withdrew the Blood Blade, she noticed that so blood-like sticky substance clung to the blade edge, looking quite disgusting.
Disgusted, Fang Yuxin frowned, then suddenly noticed that the sticky substance on the blade was moving!(To be continued.
