Although Shangguan Lingxiu was reluctant to leave, she still chose to stand up and bid her farewell.
The problem now was neither Yun Yang nor herself. The crux of the matter was Ji Lingxi. Encountering such an incident, if she were to act recklessly, it would be unavoidable that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Before she left, she winked at Yun Yang, indicating for him to comfort him. Only then did she leave with a heavy heart, no longer feeling the joy she had before.
Yun Yang sent Fang Mofei and the others to escort Shangguan Lingxiu away.
Shangguan Lingxiu's brows were already locked in a frown as she walked, recalling the day's events.
There was still a tinge of happiness in Shangguan Lingxiu's heart because Yun Yang did have feelings for her and Ji Lingxi had made a great concession, making things very clear.
It could be said that as long as she let go of the burden on her shoulders, she could achieve good things at any time.
In spite of this, feeling happy and blissful was one thing. Once she thought of Ji Lingxi's situation, she could not help sighing and frowning.
What should she do?
How could such an inconceivable thing exist in this world?
Was it not a little too bizarre?
Shangguan Lingxiu had been thinking along the way back, wondering how she should resolve the matter appropriately.
Shangguan Lingxiu could actually foresee that if this matter was not resolved, even if she eventually married Yun Yang and fulfilled her wish, it would be difficult for everyone to be truly happy in the days to come, not just for Ji Lingxi, but also for herself and Yun Yang. As long as this matter was not resolved, it would be difficult for everyone to be truly happy.
"It must be resolved." Shangguan Lingxiu thought, lost in thought, "Even if it's resolved now and Ji Lingxi rejects me again … this matter must still be the first priority …"
…
Yun Yang laid in an absolutely miserable position for a day and a half before he finally recovered.
During this period of time, Yun Yang's state of mind could only be described with one word – burning with impatience!
He had been delayed for two whole days and one whole night!
The assassins had failed to assassinate him mainly because they were not prepared, but after the leader of the masked men returned and Sir Bi reflected on his failure, how could he not be prepared?
Initially, his breakthrough in his cultivation base and the unexpected recovery of his injuries had been a pleasant surprise, giving him an additional bargaining chip. However, what Ji Lingxi had done had nullified the pleasant surprise that he had gained from the unexpected advantage he had gained.
After all, it had been a long time since he was besieged.
According to Yun Yang's assessment of Sir Bi, there must be a corresponding response. Whether he had escaped, gone into hiding, or had other countermeasures … it would only complicate the situation that was already clear.
However, who could he blame for this? Ji Lingxi and the red glow on her body? It seemed like he could be blamed, but if he had not wanted to show off because his cultivation base had improved, would he have been retaliated against if he had not wanted to show off in front of the masses and show off?
Forget it, this is fate. I have no choice but to face it, and face it positively!
Just as Yun Yang got up and walked out, he saw Ji Lingxi heaving a soft sigh of relief on the other side. He muttered to himself, "… a day and a half too early …"
"What do you mean by a day and a half early?" Yun Yang asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. You heard wrong." Ji Lingxi's gaze was evasive. She only glanced at him once before she scampered away like a frightened rabbit. Yun Yang could vaguely see that the girl's eyes were red and swollen; her face was flushed, almost to the point of her neck.
Yun Yang watched Ji Lingxi's fleeing silhouette in a daze. After a long time, he sighed.
"One day …"
Yun Yang said quietly.
When he spoke up to here, he didn't continue speaking. He casually waved his hand, and a purple robe suddenly appeared on his body. When he walked out of the room, his aura turned icy cold and ghastly. It was as if a Devil God had descended into the world. It was bone-piercingly cold, and it caused others to tremble with fear!
"Those assassins are not dead yet, are they?"
"Not yet, they're alive and well."
"To the secret chamber!"
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei shuddered in unison upon hearing the words' to the secret chamber '.
How could they not know that the assassins' good days had come?
Yun Yang's interrogation method could only be described with one word – unparalleled in this world!
This young man who looked clean and refreshed from head to toe, his face was gentle and refined, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. However, as he walked into the place where the assassins were imprisoned, the place became scarier than the underworld to the assassins.
The door to the secret chamber that was as thick as a city wall slowly closed.
Shangguan Lingxiu rushed over, only to see Ji Lingxi staring at Yun Yang's silhouette disappearing into the secret chamber.
Somehow, the only thing Shangguan Lingxiu felt was that Yun Yang's silhouette was filled with an extremely oppressive aura that was extremely intimidating.
…
Once Yun Yang entered, it took him eight whole hours to do so.
When he came out again, it was already evening, when the sun was about to set.
Looking over, Yun Yang looked as usual, his purple robe still clean. He walked out calmly, like a young master who had just returned from an outing, looking indescribably carefree.
As for Fang Mofei and Lao Mei who were following behind Yun Yang, their appearances and auras were similar. They were both pale, their usually tall and sturdy bodies trembling slightly, their hair drenched in sweat and the corners of their eyes and brows filled with unconcealable fear.
Throughout the day of interrogation, Fang Mofei and Lao Mei had only assisted from the side. In fact, most of the time, it was only Yun Yang who was in charge of the interrogation while the two of them were outside.
Even Lao Mei, who had participated the most, had only accompanied Yun Yang in interrogating one of the assassins.
This time, however, Lao Mei and Fang Mofei felt that they had finally witnessed what was meant by 'interrogation by torture'!
Honestly, Yun Yang's interrogation method was not fancy nor was it complicated. There was no stunning, unique technique. Throughout the entire process, everything seemed very ordinary.
The only unusual thing about him was … the continuous, continuous, and continuous progress. Also, his face seemed to have an eternally calm and indifferent expression.
It was fine if he did not speak.
Continue.
Torment him to death, then rescue him.
Then ask him if he did not speak? Not speak? Alright, continue.
Then the next one.
Not speak? It's alright, I'll just watch!
This elder brother has patience. I'll let all of you cheer each other up, let all of you hurl insults, let all of you curse, let all of you torture and interrogate again and again, over and over again.
I didn't even interrogate them separately, gathering all the assassin captives together right from the start.
Together, I'm not afraid of your collusion, you're welcome to try.
As long as you have the confidence to hide it from me!
A single person might be able to withstand a test of death, because in most cases, a single death would be the end of a hundred!
However, to fall into Yun Yang's hands, especially when Emmie had returned, death would be the end of everything. It was a joke. You want to die? No problem, I'll let you go through the endless cycle from life to death, no problem at all!
