The sky outside gradually darkened and Han Yunxi curled up in a corner. For the entire afternoon, Qing Yi didn't even look at her once, let alone speak to her.
This made Han Yunxi even more certain that Qing Yi was waiting. Perhaps waiting for something to happen, or perhaps waiting for someone to come.
Han Yunxi didn't know how long she had been unconscious for and could only tell if it was day or night from the sky outside the cave.
On the day she and Mu Qingwu went to Heavenly Fragrance Teashop, there were still twelve days before the agreed time of the bet. If she had been unconscious for two to three days, including today, wouldn't it be three to four days?
Then the remaining time was only seven to eight days. Seven to eight days wasn't long, but it wasn't short either!
As for the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison case, currently she had only confirmed the suspect and hadn't obtained any substantial evidence.
She didn't know if Long Fei Ye had found anything from the Han family's third household. If her direction was wrong, if she still hadn't found the culprit by the agreed time, then wouldn't she really lose to Mu Liuyue?
If she lost, she would have to strip and walk through the streets!
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi was depressed. Losing was one thing, but to have all her hard work go to waste was even more depressing.
The more she thought, the tighter her brows knitted. But, after a while, it suddenly loosened and she pouted and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air with a helpless expression.
Alright, she wasn't even sure if she could go back, yet she was still thinking about the bet.
Thinking of this, she drooped her head and sighed in her heart. If only she knew martial arts, that would be great. At least she would have a chance of survival and wouldn't be so passive every time.
Han Yunxi didn't know how rich the changes in her expression were when she was thinking about these things. However, the person hiding in the stone wall at the side was watching with great interest.
"Hey … Hey …"
"Poison lass … Poison lass …"
Han Yunxi was immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly heard a voice. She immediately focused her attention and listened seriously. She realised that there seemed to be someone talking to her.
"This way … To the right, hehe!"
"To the right."
Suddenly, the voice became much louder and Han Yunxi immediately looked to the right. Other than a stone wall, she didn't see anything else.
"Silly girl."
The voice was filled with a playful laughter, and it seemed to have come from the stone wall.
Strange!
Han Yunxi's line of sight searched the stone wall. Very quickly, she saw a small hole in the stone wall. In the small hole, there was a pair of long and flirtatious eyes staring at her!
Han Yunxi was so shocked that she almost screamed.
Luckily, she held it in!
That pair of eyes blinked a few times, revealing a playful smile as it expressed its goodwill to her.
Is it someone you know?
Han Yunxi remembered that among the people she knew, no one had such flirtatious and beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Although the hole was very small and there was no way to see the eyes clearly, Han Yunxi was still very sure.
Who was it?
She calmed herself down and looked warily at the entrance of the cave.
The black-clothed masked assassin in the cave had already left. Qing Yi was sitting alone at the entrance of the cave with her back facing her. She was a little far away, so she didn't notice the commotion here.
"Don't worry, she can't hear us." The man said in a low voice. Even his voice was filled with laughter, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Han Yunxi turned around and looked at that pair of eyes warily. She asked in a low voice, "I don't know you, right?"
"It's fine as long as I know you." The man smiled.
"Then who are you?" Han Yunxi asked while thinking that there must be a cave behind this stone wall. That person should be next door.
"The person who came to save you." The man said and seemed to take a step back. Han Yunxi vaguely caught a glimpse of his nose. It was especially tall and beautiful.
Long and narrow peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and if he had sexy thin lips, wouldn't he be a handsome man?
Of course, Han Yunxi wasn't in the mood to think about these at this moment.
She was very sure that she had never seen this guy before.
"Brother, it's not very appropriate to keep me in suspense at this time." She said mildly and shifted her position to face the wall.
"It's pretty good. I don't plan to save you now. Since I have nothing to do, let's have a chat. "The man's smile was especially charming. He was lazy and leisurely, not at all like he was in deep danger.
He was obviously flirting with her! Han Yunxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. She simply turned her head away and ignored him. She thought that this guy was probably just passing by to buy soy sauce, right?
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi waited for a long time, but the man didn't continue to speak.
She hurriedly turned her head and saw that the small cave was empty. There was nothing there.
It can't be. Was he really just here to buy soy sauce?
"Hey … Hey …"
"Are you still there?"
Han Yunxi hurriedly asked. It wasn't easy for someone to come. No matter what, it was a chance to escape.
"Hey … Are you still there?"
Helpless, Han Yunxi asked a few times, but there was no response from the other side.
Han Yunxi panicked. She glanced at the cave entrance. Seeing that Qing Yi didn't move, she carefully shifted her position to the side of the stone wall. Through the small cave, she could faintly see that there really was a cave next door. However, there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Are you there? If you're there, just squeak."
Han Yunxi felt a little helpless. However, just as she finished speaking, a squeak suddenly came from the other side.
Han Yunxi was stunned. Then, she was overjoyed. "Hey, you're still there?"
"My name isn't 'Hey'. My name is Gu …"
His voice was very low, so Han Yunxi couldn't hear him clearly. "Hey, what did you say?"
"My name isn't 'Hey'. My name is Gu."
That person repeated himself again, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice.
This time, Han Yunxi heard him. She was shocked. "What? Gu Qi Sha?"
She heard a light chuckle from the other side. She wasn't sure if that person heard Han Yunxi's words. He repeated himself again, but his voice was much clearer. "My name isn't 'Hey'. My name is Gu."
This time, Han Yunxi finally heard him clearly. 'Gu.' These three words sounded very similar to 'Gu Qi Sha'. No wonder she heard wrongly.
However, 'Gu' was just a name and not his real name.
In any case, she hadn't heard of it before and didn't know who it was.
After confirming that the person was there, Han Yunxi shifted her position with difficulty. Her back was facing the wall so that she looked a little more normal.
Not long after she sat down, Qing Yi turned around to look at her. Han Yunxi didn't move. She didn't avoid her gaze and looked back at her from afar.
Qing Yi looked at her for a moment but didn't say anything. Then, she turned her head back.
Han Yunxi secretly sighed. She didn't dare to speak immediately. After waiting for a while and seeing that Qing Yi didn't turn around, she said in a low voice, "Hey, why did you save me?"
"My name isn't 'Hey'. If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Qi."
A teasing laughter sounded, causing Han Yunxi to feel a chill. A grown man called Xiao Qi. She thought that the guy next door must be a show-off.
Next door, Gu was sitting with his back against the wall just like Han Yunxi.
However, he wasn't sitting upright like Han Yunxi. Instead, he was languid and relaxed. He was like a cat basking in the sun in winter, languid to the bone.
He wore a fiery red robe with wide sleeves that covered the floor luxuriously. His hand casually rested on one of his legs. His five fingers were slender and fair. His skin was paler than a normal person's and looked so delicate that it could be broken by the slightest breeze.
He smiled lightly, his breath like orchids. His face was so beautiful that it made the world lose its light. Those eyes were so seductive that it could make one's soul melt!
"Why did you save me?" Next door, Han Yunxi asked again.
"Because I like you." Gu answered so naturally, as if he was joking.
Han Yunxi seemed to have gotten used to his teasing. She pretended not to hear him and asked again patiently, "Then when do you plan to save me?"
"In a few days," Gu said again. She didn't know if he was being perfunctory or if he had really calculated the time.
Han Yunxi wasn't willing to give up and continued to ask, "Then how many days later?"
However, this time, Gu didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Does your neck still hurt?"
"Then how many days later?" Han Yunxi continued.
"Poison Girl, where did you learn your poison skills from? How are you so good? Is your master still around? "Gu continued to ask.
"Then how many days later?" Han Yunxi repeated stubbornly.
"I remember that you weren't that good in the past, right?" Gu asked again. Rather than a question, it was better to say that he was talking to himself. He raised his head, his brows slightly furrowed. He didn't move at all, like a painting of a beauty in deep thought.
Next door, Han Yunxi looked up at the sky. She had already given up.
Who was this mysterious guy? Why did he appear here? Did he chase after them or did he meet them by chance?
He knew her. There should be many people who knew her. How could she guess?
The man next door had an unknown background, and the woman at the cave entrance had an unknown motive. Han Yunxi let out a long sigh. She could only wait!
It was already late at night.
Cries of anguish could be heard from the Celestial Fragrance Teashop's prison. Long Fei Ye's interrogation had continued from noon until now.
He was still using the terrifying rat torture. Not only did he kill one as a warning to others, but he was also torturing them one by one.
In the dim prison cell, a huge rat cage was placed in the middle. Everyone was standing, except for Long Fei Ye, who was sitting alone.
Guard Shangguan was in charge of the interrogation, while Mu Qingwu was in charge of the punishment. From the start, Long Feiye hadn't said a word, but the cold aura emanating from his body grew more and more terrifying. Leaving aside the people being interrogated, even the people waiting around them felt their hairs stand on end at the sight of that fiendish god in the shadows. Their hearts trembled in fear.
"Ah …"
The person who was being tortured let out a miserable cry, which resounded through the entire prison cell.
His heart was facing the opening of the rat cage, and the big black rat was digging out his heart.
"Ah … Spare me! I don't know anything! Ah … I really … "
Suddenly, the miserable cry stopped abruptly. Then, the person fell backward, and a big hole was bitten in his heart. A big black rat buried its head in it, leaving only half of its body outside.
Another person was interrogated to death.
Guard Shangguan's interrogation was very slow and detailed. Although it had been going on since noon, he actually didn't interrogate many people.
Very quickly, many people around couldn't help but vomit, and some even fainted directly.
However, fainting from fear was useless. Very soon, they would be woken up and queued up for this cruel interrogation.
There were only about twenty people left. Long Fei Ye was determined to get a result from the interrogation. He killed decisively, and was cold and ruthless. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even frown.
The room was silent, and only the faint sound of teeth chattering could be heard from the people waiting to be interrogated. God knows how scared they were.
Long Fei Ye was expressionless. He elegantly waved his hand, indicating for Guard Shangguan to interrogate the next person.
Seeing this, a young guard who was queuing at the front of the queue immediately knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground, crying out loud, "I don't know anything! I really don't know … Guard Shangguan, I'm getting married at the end of the month, please let me go! I'm begging you! "
Guard Shangguan hesitated. If this interrogation continued, more innocent people would die. He looked at His Highness Duke of Qin, but His Highness Duke of Qin didn't react at all.
Left with no choice, Guard Shangguan could only forcefully drag him over. Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly rushed out from the back of the crowd and shouted, "Enough, stop the interrogation, I confess! I confess! "
