Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Interrogation
"Yang Fei, do you think they’ll be able to break out?"
Inside a tent, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were seated opposite each other.
Alone as a couple, Qin Yanyang lacked the stern composure she had in front of her subordinates, her brows tinged with deep worry.
Seeing her like this, Yang Fei felt a twinge of self-reproach and guiltily said, "I’m sorry, it’s because of me that you’ve fallen into this dilemma."
Qin Yanyang slightly furrowed her brows and said with displeasure, "You know I don’t like to hear such words. We’re husband and wife, you’re my husband, and if you’re trapped in a desperate situation, how could I not save you?"
Moved, Yang Fei took her hand and rubbed it gently, saying, "Of course, I understand your intention. Honestly, when I heard that you threatened the entire Hidden Sect World to find me, I was truly moved to death. At that moment, I just thought that I needed to see you as soon as possible and not let things get out of hand. Thankfully, we both made it out safely."
Qin Yanyang smiled and said, "If the roles were reversed and I were controlled by the Hidden Sect, you would definitely do whatever it takes to save me."
Yang Fei nodded and said firmly, "Definitely."
The two looked at each other and laughed, seeing the sincerity in each other’s eyes.
In life, to encounter a confidant who truly understands you is to have no regrets.
"Tell me about what happened in the Hidden Sect," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei knew she was feeling heavy-hearted, so he recounted his experiences in the Hidden Sect.
Qin Yanyang listened attentively and finally looked at Yang Fei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying, "So during the more than a month you spent in the Hidden Sect, you were mostly imprisoned as a captive by Helian Rong, right?"
Yang Fei replied with a wry smile, "Yeah, I was careless at the time and was poisoned by her Bone Erosion Powder; she captured me."
"Then why did she eventually let you go on her own? Was it really just to foster good karma with you?" Qin Yanyang blinked at Yang Fei and asked, "She’s so beautiful and alluring, and you’re so handsome and excellent, spending so much time alone together... Could it be she’s developed feelings for you?"
Yang Fei was startled and hastily denied it, "What are you saying? I was always a prisoner, and I had never met her before, so how could that be possible?"
Qin Yanyang chuckled, "Whether you have feelings or not, I don’t know, but as a woman, I think a lady who is usually so proper to have hidden you in her boudoir for so long and then let you go, must have had feelings."
Yang Fei shook his head and said, "That can’t be. Don’t misunderstand, how could that be possible?"
Qin Yanyang said smilingly, "Yang Fei, don’t you realize how outstanding you are?"
Yang Fei’s face reddened, "Cough, cough, it’s not as exaggerated as you describe."
Qin Yanyang, looking at his handsome and charming face, affirmed, "It is. Hmm, now that I think about it, when Helian Rong voluntarily came out to challenge me, she must have initially intended to secretly assist, thinking of going easy to let us win, right?"
Yang Fei replied awkwardly, "That should be the case. She let me go and even said she would help me escape; she must have had that intention."
"But when she actually made her move, she went all out. She was quite furious; if it weren’t for a sudden illness, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to win. Do you think she might have been jealous of our affectionate relationship and therefore wanted to compete with me?" Qin Yanyang asked with a teasing look at Yang Fei.
Sweat formed on Yang Fei’s forehead as he sat restlessly, "It... it shouldn’t be, sweetheart, cough, cough, aren’t you a bit too nervous, overthinking things?"
Poor me, Yang Fei, I really didn’t have any romantic involvement with Helian Rong. Wife, can you not look at me like that, please? It... it makes me nervous.
After all, the matter with Tong Yunshu was true.
He had always been worried that Qin Yanyang would find out about his affair with Tong Yunshu and what the outcome would be if she did.
Now he was getting a taste of it.
So this was what being caught in an affair felt like.
I’m too tense, I’m freaking out!
Qin Yanyang had been staring at Yang Fei, seeing the sweat bead on his forehead and his face full of innocent awkwardness, she couldn’t help but snicker, "Alright, I was just teasing you. Look how scared you got."
Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yanyang mumbled to herself, "Although she looks like a heavenly beauty, I, Qin Yanyang, am not too shabby either. Besides, after all we’ve been through as husband and wife, and this time I recklessly went to rescue you, other women won’t find it so easy to snatch you away from me."
Yang Fei nodded repeatedly, "That’s right, our marital affection is deep, how could a third party come between us."
Heaven knows, with Tong Yunshu I was forced into a corner, it was Tong Yan’s trap that made me lose my innocence.
Qin Yanyang didn’t really believe that Yang Fei could easily fall for someone else with her own charm, her previous words were just to lighten the tense mood.
Now that she had calmed down, however, she slightly furrowed her brows again.
Yang Fei knew her concerns and wanted to change the subject, so he comforted her, "Don’t worry, if they really wanted to start a war between the two worlds, they wouldn’t have let us go that quickly. Even if they wanted to test Divine Continent Country’s firepower, they should have taken us as hostages. Since they let us go, they probably won’t act rashly, not to the extent of banding together and breaking out."
Qin Yanyang’s brows relaxed slightly, and with a light chuckle, she said, "Right. Never mind, let’s not think about it anymore. You were ambushed and attacked by Wang Changchun earlier, did you suffer severe Divine Soul damage?"
At her words, a cold light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he nodded, "It’s quite severe, it can’t recover in a month or two. Wang Changchun is so insidious, if there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely make him pay back double."
As they were talking, a voice came from outside, "Report, commander, someone is here to see you."
Qin Yanyang was startled and asked, "Who?"
"It’s me."
A strong and vigorous voice came through.
Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei’s expressions changed, and they both got up to greet the visitor.
Outside the tent, they indeed saw three people standing in the snow, with Qin Huai’an at the forefront.
The other two were the current acting leader of the Martial Alliance, the contemporary Zhengyi Daoist Zhang Huairen, and Yang Fei’s mentor, the Fatty Taoist, Huang Chengcheng.
"Grandfather, Master, Senior Zhang."
Upon seeing the three, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang quickly greeted them.
Qin Huai’an spoke gravely, "You girl, you’ve really been too reckless. Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused this time?"
Qin Yanyang pursed her lips lightly and said, "Grandfather, I know what I’m doing."
"Hmph, you don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!" Qin Huai’an snorted, "So we’re just going to stand here in the snow talking?"
Yang Fei quickly pulled on Qin Yanyang and they stepped aside from the entrance, inviting them in, "Grandfather, Master, Senior Zhang, please come inside."
The group moved and entered the tent.
After sitting down, Yang Fei couldn’t help but ask the Fatty Taoist, "Master, what’s your name?"
The Fatty Taoist smiled at the question and said, "It seems you’ve found out my name during your time in the Hidden Sect, haha, yes, my name is Huang Chengcheng."
Yang Fei nodded, but his gaze was fixed on his life-saving mentor as he asked, "Master, when you called me earlier you said that once I entered the Hidden Sect World, there would be someone to assist me, so I wouldn’t be left in a desperate predicament. But this time, I almost lost my life in there and wouldn’t have been able to see you again, had it not been for my wife’s profound benevolence and daring rescue. If I had died in there, no one would have spared me a second glance, would they?"
Huang Chengcheng’s brow furrowed and a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes as he stared at Yang Fei, "Presumptuous, how dare you speak to me in such a manner?"
