The whereabouts of the Seven Noble Families?
For the first time, Chu Tianyin realized that Long Fei Ye was also interested in the Seven Noble Families.
"Since the Duke of Qin knows that I'm from the Nether Clan, I presume you've investigated the Seven Noble Families?" Chu Tianyin probed.
A smart person would be able to find clues in the other party's words, sound them out, and deduce information.
Long Fei Ye was well aware of Chu Tianyin's probing.
His identity as the East Qin orphan would not be easily exposed.
"If Western Zhou's Emperor Kang Cheng knew of your Chu Clan's background …"
Before Long Fei Ye could finish, Chu Tianyin became anxious and cut him off Cold Voice, "Long Fei Ye, since you're here to negotiate, then be straightforward and stop beating around the bush!"
Han Yunxi felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. Long Fei Ye was the last person in the world to beat around the bush. He didn't have that much patience.
It was clearly Chu Tianyin who was avoiding the topic and beating around the bush!
She was about to interrupt, but Tang Li was even more unhappy than she was. He sneered, "Chu Tianyin, get your facts straight. The Duke of Qin is interrogating you, not chatting with you! Do you really think you're some big shot just because he's chatting with you? "
Chu Tianyin didn't know if he was really calm or just thick-skinned, but he wasn't embarrassed at all. He even confidently said, "Long Fei Ye, what will it take for you to release me? State your conditions."
He avoided the topic of the Seven Noble Families with a few words, but Long Fei Ye didn't forget.
Long Fei Ye scrutinized Chu Tianyin. He couldn't help but admit that Chu Tianyin was the calmest captive he had ever seen. However, a captive was still a captive.
"This prince has no intention of releasing you. Tell me everything you know about the Seven Noble Families, or else …"
Chu Tianyin ignored Long Fei Ye's warning once again. He Cold Voice said, "Unless you release me, don't even think about prying open this young master's mouth!"
He had just been played for a fool about the Witch Aunt, so how could he be played again?
Furthermore, since Witch Aunt had already escaped, he would not provide any more information to Long Fei Ye.
Chu Tianyin pursed his lips, his face fearless.
Long Fei Ye wanted to warn others, but now he was the one being warned instead. His patience finally ran out. He turned to look at Tang Li and Han Yunxi and asked Coldly, "Which one of you wants to fight?"
Who's coming?
Whether it was Tang Li's hidden weapons or Han Yunxi's poison, they were more interesting than any of the torture instruments in this secret chamber.
He returned to Han Yunxi's side and sat down. He crossed his legs and stretched his long arm over the back of Han Yunxi's chair. His posture was domineering as he looked on coldly.
"Let me!"
Tang Li had long been rubbing his fists. He'd been depressed about his marriage for a long time, so he wouldn't miss a chance to vent his frustrations.
Although Chu Tianyin didn't know the relationship between Tang Li and Long Fei Ye, he was well aware of Tang Li's origins and the power of Tang Li's hidden weapons.
Although he felt uneasy, he also rejoiced at the fact that it wasn't Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi's poisons were things he dreaded the most.
But before Tang Li could make a move, Han Yunxi spoke up. "Young Master Tang, I don't think you'll be able to get anything out of him. This guy's got a tough bone!"
"A bet?" Tang Li said without hesitation.
If Chu Xifeng was here, he would definitely stop him. No one had a good ending for betting with Han Yunxi!
"Alright!"
Han Yunxi agreed happily, while Chu Tianyin's ashen face turned even paler. Abominable, what do these two take me for?
"What kind of bet? What are the stakes?" Tang Li was very excited.
"Let's bet on whether you can pry open his mouth first, or this wangfei," Han Yunxi was interested as well.
"And the terms?" Tang Li asked next.
"An hour is the limit. As long as he stays alive, you can interrogate him however you want."
Chu Tianyin's heart couldn't help but tremble at Long Feiye's careless interjection. Still, he forced himself to stay calm and collected.
Han Yunxi agreed easily. "Alright!"
Tang Li said seriously, "Didn't we agree that the winner would be the one to pry open his mouth first?"
"Mm," Han Yunxi nodded.
"And the stakes?" Tang Li asked again.
"As you wish," Han Yunxi's straightforwardness didn't lose to Long Feiye's.
"If I win, then I owe the Duke of Qin all the silver I owe him?" Tang Li grinned.
When he'd run away from his marriage, his father had cut off all his sources of income. He'd relied on his mother's secret support, but when his father found out about her, she didn't dare to give him any more silver. He could only ask Long Fei Ye for help. Even now, he owed a buttload of debt.
Han Yunxi burst into laughter. "I'll pay you back in your place."
"You and the Duke of Qin make distinctions between you and me? Isn't everything the Duke of Qin yours? He's all yours … "Tang Li teased.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. He drank tea and covered half his face, but his gaze clearly fell on Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi's face was clearly red, but she was still holding her mouth. She asked unhappily, "What if you lose?"
"Up to you!" Tang Li was also generous. He had nothing to lose anyway.
Who knew that Han Yunxi would laugh and say, "If you lose, then I'll order you around for a year. You'll be at my beck and call!"
"Alright!" Tang Li was full of confidence.
After discussing the terms, the two of them looked at Chu Tianyin. Chu Tianyin was furious. These two were simply insulting his value!
Especially Tang Li! How much silver could Tang Li owe Long Fei Ye? Could it be that he, the great Young Master of the Chu Clan, was only worth that much?
He wouldn't answer no matter what. He wouldn't answer any of their questions even if he died!
Suddenly, he sensed a hidden weapon coming at him. He was helpless. His whole body was tied up, so he couldn't dodge at all. Soon, he felt a sharp pain in his mouth, as if something had pierced it.
This must be Tang Li's hidden weapon. He didn't know what kind of hidden weapon it was, but he was sure that it had pierced his mouth.
Soon, he felt a tugging pain. As the pain intensified, the string tied to the hidden weapon became clearer.
Only then did Chu Tianyin understand that Tang Li's hidden weapon was tied to a string. One end of the string shot into his mouth, while the other end was tied to Tang Li's hand. As long as Tang Li tugged on the string, he would feel pain.
This damned thing. Of all the places to pick, why did he have to pick on his mouth? The hidden weapon pierced so deeply that he couldn't stop drooling from the pain.
Chu Tianyin gritted his teeth and endured the pain no matter how hard Tang Li tugged on the string!
No matter what Tang Li asked him, he wouldn't answer. If he wanted to tug on the string, then let him.
However, Chu Tianyin waited for a long time. Tang Li didn't interrogate him at all. He just pulled harder and harder on the string.
Chu Tianyin faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
He was puzzled when his nose suddenly became blocked, as if he had a cold. Chu Tianyin felt more and more that something was wrong. He knew that the blocked nose must be caused by Han Yunxi's poison.
Han Yunxi couldn't have just blocked his nose. She must have a backup plan. The blocked nose was undoubtedly asking him to open his mouth. Could it be that Han Yunxi wanted to feed him some kind of poison?
Chu Tianyin wanted to use the Turtle Breathing Technique, but under the influence of Han Yunxi's poison, the Turtle Breathing Technique was useless. Breathing was something that couldn't be held back. Soon, Chu Tianyin opened his mouth.
He thought, even if Han Yunxi fed him poison, so what? He was determined not to answer any of their questions.
Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, Tang Li would immediately let go and look at Han Yunxi in disbelief.
Han Yunxi glanced back and smiled. She was especially beautiful. "I won!"
"You … How did you win?" Tang Li asked unwillingly.
"I told him to open his mouth and breathe. If this doesn't count as prying open his mouth, what does it count as?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
When she said this, Chu Tianyin almost collapsed. So this was what they meant by prying open his mouth? He was still foolishly waiting for them to interrogate him!
"You …" Tang Li wanted to cry but had no tears.
He and Han Yunxi were betting on who would pry open Chu Tianyin's mouth first. There were two meanings to this bet. The first was purely to pry open Chu Tianyin's mouth. The second was to have Chu Tianyin answer to their interrogation.
He had a little idea. He wanted to trick Han Yunxi and use a concealed weapon to pry open Chu Tianyin's mouth so that he would win and let Han Yunxi slowly interrogate him. Who knew that Han Yunxi didn't jump into this trap and quietly made Chu Tianyin open his mouth.
"Hey, if you agree to a bet, you have to accept defeat. Long Fei Ye is my witness. You have to be enslaved by me for a year!"
When he heard the word "enslaved" from Han Yunxi, Tang Li panicked. He secretly swore that he would never bet with Han Yunxi again. But this time, he had to bet until the end!
"A year it is. Let's bet again!" Tang Li said domineeringly.
"What are we betting on?" Han Yunxi didn't refuse.
"We're betting on who will make him lower his head first!" Tang Li said.
Chu Tianyin was furious. These two guys weren't interrogating him at all. They were simply toying with him! He glared at them. "That's enough!"
Unfortunately, Tang Li and Han Yunxi ignored him. Han Yunxi readily agreed. "What's the bet?"
"If this young master loses, I'll add another year. If you lose, we'll forget about the previous year." Tang Li threw caution to the wind.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Han Yunxi's voice fell and she immediately made her move. She shot a poison needle at Chu Tianyin's neck. Tang Li wasn't to be outdone. He quickly rushed up.
If they wanted Chu Tianyin to lower his head, why would they need to use a concealed weapon? They could just use their hands to pull him!
Anyway, Chu Tianyin didn't have any chance of resisting. He was completely like a fish on the chopping board, at their mercy.
Han Yunxi's poison immediately made Chu Tianyin's neck weak. But he forced himself to hold on. He was being toyed with by them. If he lowered his head again, his dignity would really be fed to the dogs.
However, as soon as Tang Li came up, he pressed his head from behind and abruptly pushed it forward.
Chu Tianyin's neck was weak to begin with. With such pressure, he couldn't help but lower his head.
"I won!" Tang Li was overjoyed.
"It doesn't count! You won because I drugged you! "Han Yunxi refused to admit it.
"Who knows you drugged me?" Tang Li's large hand pressed firmly on Chu Tianyin's head as he retorted angrily.
With a smack, Han Yunxi slapped Chu Tianyin's head and pressed down hard. "You know full well what I mean!"
Thus, the two of them started to quarrel just like that.
Long Feiye watched with amusement, while Chu Tianyin hung his head in shame and anger. His face was flushed red and his eyes were bloodshot. He was so angry that his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Rationality and calmness were secretly thrown to the back of his mind. He roared, "That's enough!"
"Han Yunxi, detoxify this young master immediately!"
"Tang Li, let go! I'm warning you to let go, do you hear me! "
However, Han Yunxi and Tang Li were in full swing in their quarrel and didn't hear him at all.
"At most, we won't count this time. Let's bet again." Finally, Tang Li gave in.
"What are we betting on?" Han Yunxi asked.
Before Tang Li could answer, Chu Tianyin couldn't take it anymore and roared, "This young master will answer you! I'll answer everything! "
