Yang Jian had only sent one message in the group, but it had been read over and over again by several people in the group.
Bai Haoyu.
That's right, he'd sent it to Bai Haoyu.
Erlang Shen: Mommy, I feel like my identity as a spy is about to be exposed. That stupid dog Bai Haoyu's working for Xiao Ting now.
This was Yang Jian's original message.
The room fell silent for a brief moment. Man proposes, God disposes. They'd thought their undercover plan was foolproof, but to think a variable like Bai Haoyu had appeared.
"No wonder I sensed an aura escape when the Bai Family patriarch self-destructed. I thought I was mistaken. I never would have guessed it was him."
After learning Bai Haoyu's identity, Ye Zichen thought back to when he'd woken up in the Bai Family and taken Lin Ru and the others into the tower. He'd vaguely sensed an aura escape during the explosion.
At the time, he'd thought he'd been mistaken. The Bai Family patriarch was infinitely close to an emperor.
Even great emperors like Xue Yang would be gravely injured if they were at the center of the explosion. Ye Zichen didn't think anyone could survive it.
"Bai Haoyu!"
Biting the corner of their lips, the others' faces were extremely solemn.
Xiao Ting didn't know them very well, so it was likely he didn't understand their relationship. However, the Great Sage Yang Jian had fought with Bai Haoyu before. As long as Bai Haoyu wasn't an idiot, he would be able to sense the friendship between the two of them.
"Let's kill our way to the Xiao Family and save Yang Jian," said the Great Sage with a frown.
"Don't."
Ye Zichen rejected the Great Sage's suggestion.
"If Yang Jian can send a message, and I don't sense any distress signal, that means he hasn't been exposed yet."
Ye Zichen licked his lips, typed out a message, and sent it.
Only Idealism: How are you doing? Did they suspect anything? If you've really been exposed, don't resist. We'll come and save you right now.
Monkey King: Erlang Shen
Erlang Shen: No need, I'm safe.
Yang Jian sat in the room Xiao Ting had arranged for him. He carefully placed several seals around the room, then stood by the window, occasionally glancing out as he sent messages.
Erlang Shen: After drinking a few cups of tea with Xiao Ting, I told him I was tired, and he found me a place to stay. Now that I was alone here, I didn't feel that the other party had any intention of sealing me.
Monkey King: Didn't you say Bai Haoyu was there?
Erlang Shen: Isn't he here?
Even now, Yang Jian felt a lingering fear. He never would've guessed that Xiao Ting would recruit Bai Haoyu. When she first saw him, her heart was in her throat.
He'd had a feeling that things were about to go south, but Bai Haoyu had only nodded at him.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: He didn't recognize you?
Ultimate Charmer: You can't recognize it? That's impossible!
Erlang Shen: From the looks of it, he should have recognized me. While we were drinking tea, he glanced at me several times and even smiled faintly.
Erlang Shen: From his smile, it doesn't seem like he didn't recognize me.
Monkey King: Then hurry up and leave. It's too dangerous to stay in there.
Bai Haoyu was like a ticking time bomb. No one knew when he'd explode. So long as he was in the Xiao Family, Yang Jian's undercover work would be fraught with danger.
Erlang Shen: No!
In the face of the Great Sage's concern, Yang Jian decisively refused.
Monkey King: Are you looking to die?
Erlang Shen: What do you mean 'looking to die'? Even though Bai Haoyu recognized me, he didn't expose me on the spot. That means he won't expose me.
Erlang Shen: Or rather, he'll use this as leverage to threaten me.
Erlang Shen: I want to see what he's planning. When the time comes, I'll decide if I should leave or not.
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Oh, I didn't think you'd be so smart. Monkey King: I think Yang Jian's right.
Monkey King: I think you're all crazy.
Erlang Shen: Monkey King, you actually know how to care for your daddy. I'm so happy.
Monkey King: My son, I'm just worried about my son. I'm afraid that if you die in the Xiao Family, I won't be able to collect your corpse.
Erlang Shen: Ptui ptui, can't you say something nice?
Only Idealism: Stop messing around.
When Ye Zichen saw the two clowns bickering again, he hurriedly spoke up to stop them.
Although Yang Jian said the Xiao Family wasn't monitoring him, so long as he was there, he was in danger. This was especially true when he was transmitting information. He couldn't afford to be careless.
No one knew if Xiao Ting wasn't monitoring Yang Jian on the surface, or if he was doing so in secret.
Only Idealism: Since you've decided to stay in the Xiao Family, I'll support your decision. However, if there's any danger, immediately retreat. We have many ways to deal with the Xiao Family. I don't want to see you in danger.
Erlang Shen: Understood. If there's even the slightest sign of trouble, I'll run right away.
Erlang Shen: Let me tell you, although I've only been in the Xiao Family for less than four hours, I've learned quite a bit.
Only Idealism: What?
Erlang Shen: First, the Xiao Family's experts are definitely several levels higher than the Upheaval Alliance's. I haven't even entered the inner hall, but I can already sense the auras of at least forty rulers. I'm sure there'll be even more in the inner hall.
Erlang Shen: Second, I sensed an aura similar to that of a monkey.
Monkey King: Me? A yao?
Erlang Shen: It's very possible, but it was only for a moment. I didn't feel it very clearly. However, I can confirm that the information about the Xiao Family's betrayal of the God Race is ninety percent true.
Ultimate Charmer: Of course it's true. Xiao Hu saw it with his own eyes.
"Xiao Hu saw it with his own eyes?" Ye Zichen suddenly arched his brows. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I never had a chance to tell you," said Xiao Yumei.
Now that he thought about it, it made sense. Ever since he'd heard about Xiao Ting, he'd been busy dealing with all sorts of matters. He really hadn't had much time to talk about it.
At the same time, Yang Jian sent another message in the group.
Erlang Shen: It's not convenient for me to talk to you right now. Let's talk later.
Only Idealism: Alright, be careful!
Monkey King: Live well.
Yang Jian closed the group chat. He put his phone back in his pocket, then narrowed his eyes at the door.
"Since you're already here, there's no need to hide."
Before he'd even finished speaking, a pitch-black figure emerged from the corner of the room. When the light from outside shone on him, Yang Jian's brows furrowed solemnly. The newcomer smiled and waved at him.
"How did you get in?"
"In truth, I'm not just skilled in the Dao of the Sword. I also know a bit about the Dao of Space. Although I'm not particularly proficient, passing through walls isn't a big deal. You, on the other hand, were able to sense me so keenly. I'm quite shocked. "
"Hah, don't be so polite with me. Tell me, why are you here? I don't think we're close enough to chat at night. Don't you agree …."
