Bai Yu Feng's footsteps paused again, a trace of bloodlust coloring his eyes.
He narrowed his cold gaze slightly, then directly extended his thick arms, grabbing a guard by the neck with one hand, his grip tightening with both. His expression was grim.
"Since you know, why didn't you say? Where is she now?"
The guard's eyes spun, unable to breathe, only able to roll his eyes and tremble with his limbs. "Help, help."
Bai Yu Feng impatiently flung him to the ground, crossing his arms and looking down at the man threateningly. "You still won't speak? If you're this bold, I'll grant your wish."
The guard finally managed to gasp for air.
He coughed, clutching his throat, his disheveled form like a kite with a severed string, drifting to the ground.
The guard, his eyes wide with panic, quickly knelt before Bai Yu Feng.
Without a word, he kowtowed to the ground. "I apologize, Eldest Young Master. The young lady went home with that Bai Yang Ping, Master Bai. I know you dislike that Bai Yang Ping, so I dared not speak."
"What did you say?" Bai Yu Feng's eyes widened, killing intent instantly freezing.
This hateful woman?
It was one thing for them to interact within the academy.
But to dare to go behind his back to Bai Yang Ping's home.
He instantly clenched his fist, his teeth grinding together with a chilling sound.
He glared down menacingly. "What are they doing going there?"
The guard trembled. He had been eager to return and report to Bai Yu Feng, truly unaware.
Seeing the guard's bewildered expression, Bai Yu Feng cast a cold, disdainful glance. "I should have known. You useless wretch can't accomplish anything."
The guard's eyes welled with tears, truly filled with regret.
If he had known, he should have scrambled to Gu Qian Ying and subdued her.
Whether it was shouting to the heavens or acting like a shrew in the street, he should have controlled Gu Qian Ying.
Then he would not have faced such a life-threatening danger.
Bai Yu Feng found it strange. Why would Gu Qian Ying suddenly go to Bai Yang Ping's home?
Given their relationship, a man and a woman alone together.
Wouldn't people in the academy say something?
He suddenly recalled something and quickly questioned the guard below. "Bai Wen Shan has been missing for many years. Did you find any leads regarding the person who was imprisoned last time?"
The guard's eyes flickered, knowing this was a chance to earn merit. He quickly and anxiously spoke.
"I was just about to tell you, Eldest Young Master. That eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Wen Shan, seems to have turned into a monster and is now trapped in a dark room. From my observations, the Bai family has been sending people to hunt in the mountains every day, likely for that eldest son!"
Bai Yu Feng's eyes gleamed.
If that were the case, he could still accept it.
Bai Yu Feng lifted his sleeve, his eyes filled with a gloomy aura, and looked outside.
His cold voice slowly rose, mixed with a sneer.
"It seems I haven't visited Bai Yang Ping in a while. Come with me!"
The guard's expression shifted from terror to panic.
He couldn't help but muse inwardly, "Eldest Young Master, you're not going to his house as a guest, you're going to snatch someone!"
Bai Yu Feng's figure stopped at the threshold. Noticing no movement behind him, his eyes flared with anger again.
He spoke leisurely.
"What, do you think I'm wrong?"
The guard instantly jumped up from the ground, leaping as if three feet high, and quickly scurried to Bai Yu Feng's side, a fawning smile on his face, his eyebrows twitching. "Not at all, Eldest Young Master, you are absolutely right."
Bai Yu Feng flicked his sleeve and walked away quickly. "Since you know, why aren't you following?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Master and servant mounted swift horses and galloped, soon arriving outside Bai Yang Ping's residence.
The guards outside were oblivious and did not recognize Bai Yu Feng.
They immediately formed a barrier with their staffs, blocking Bai Yu Feng's path. "Stop. Without an invitation, you cannot enter the residence. Please conduct yourself with decorum, sir."
Bai Yu Feng placed his hands behind his back, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, a surge of power already erupting from his fingertips. He spoke concisely.
"Scram."
The guards behind him winked and gestured to them.
"This is the Eldest Young Master of the family. Are you blind? Do you not want to work for the Sheng Yu family anymore?"
The guards at the gate exchanged glances and, with gritted teeth, met Bai Yu Feng's cold, piercing gaze.
Upon realizing that this person was indeed the Eldest Young Master of the family.
The movements of several of them faltered. The staffs they held in their hands dropped to the ground. They swallowed nervously and hastily pointed forward with great urgency.
"My apologies, my apologies. Eldest Young Master, please enter."
Bai Yu Feng glanced at them coldly. "Did a young lady enter just now? That young lady is exceptionally beautiful, with a face like a celestial being, surpassing even the immortals. Oh! And your uncouth Bai Yang Ping, are they at home?"
The guards at the gate were taken aback.
The woman was indeed beautiful, but their young master was not as unpleasant as Bai Yu Feng described.
Bai Yu Feng's expression turned sinister again, the chilling aura emanating from him almost freezing the atmosphere before them. He casually grabbed their staffs, and with a simple clench, the wood instantly turned to powder, dissipating into the air.
The guards were in a panic, nearly falling to the ground, and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, that beautiful young lady is inside, right inside."
Bai Yu Feng was quite pleased. He slightly raised his eyes. "And that uncouth young master is also inside, isn't he?"
The guards, facing death, could only grit their teeth and nod. "Yes."
Bai Yu Feng's steps had paused, but upon hearing this, he was overjoyed, his pace quickening.
The guards behind him gaped in astonishment.
When had their Eldest Young Master become like this?
They used to say Bai Yu Feng was a madman.
The current Bai Yu Feng was a step above a madman; he was a demon! A demon crawling out of hell! Truly terrifying.
Gu Qian Ying and Bai Yang Ping rested briefly in the pavilion.
Hearing the roars from the dark room gradually subside.
Gu Qian Ying quickly rose. "Master, it's time. I need to check his pulse."
Bai Yang Ping also stood up and pointed a direction for Gu Qian Ying. "Please!"
The two entered the room, which lacked even candlelight.
They could only rely on their own spiritual power to peer into the darkness.
Bai Wen Shan remained bound to the pillar, finally falling into a state of quiet.
Gu Qian Ying gritted her teeth. To get this person's pulse, she had to go up to him to check.
So, she had to take the risk.
Bai Yang Ping followed behind, extremely apologetic. "I'm sorry. This matter is truly difficult, and I was too selfish."
Gu Qian Ying gave a simple laugh and then brushed aside Bai Wen Shan's hair.
"It's alright, you're my Master!"
After she spoke, she immediately turned around, only to be met with a pale, terrifying face emerging from the hair.
Gu Qian Ying was startled and hastily let go of the hair, staggering back a few steps.
Bai Wen Shan was actually awake!
Bai Yang Ping noticed something strange and turned around in a panic. "What happened?"
