Chapter 144: The Great Escape

From the corner of his eye, he could already see that Ye Shiyuan was getting angry.

He even suspected that Ye Shiyuan might make a move at any moment.

"Who dares to disagree? Step forward! I’d like to see who has the guts to fight me for her."

As the saying went, even a powerful dragon couldn’t suppress a local snake.

Wanyan Xiyin was practically a local tyrant in Wanyan City.

He is used to acting freely and

domineeringly, it was only natural that he didn’t take others seriously.

Bai He wasn’t surprised at all.

"See? No one disagrees. Little beauty, come with me."

As he spoke, Wanyan Xiyin reached out to grab Bai He’s hand. But before his hand could touch Bai He, Ye Shiyuan seized his wrist first.

With a forceful grip, there was almost the sound of bones cracking.

With a casual flick, Ye Shiyuan sent Wanyan Xiyin crashing heavily to the ground.

At once, Wanyan Xiyin let out a painful wail.

The people guarding the entrance immediately rushed over.

One helped him up, while the others charged forward, ready to attack Bai He and his group.

In truth, these people were no match for Ye Shiyuan and the others, but...

"Stop! If you don’t stop now, his life will be over."

A blade was pressed against Bai He’s neck.

Bai He put on a frightened expression. "Xiao Feng, Shiyuan, don’t make a move. My life is in your hands."

Ye Shiyuan lowered his weapon and stopped attacking.

Although Xu Feng was furious, he also held himself back.

"Take them away."

Wanyan Xiyin glared at them, especially at Ye Shiyuan.

He wish he could kill him on the spot for making him lose so much face. But killing him just like that wouldn’t be enough to vent his anger.

And so, the three of them were successfully taken into the dungeon of Jurchen Manor.

After pacing back and forth for several rounds, Xu Feng finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. "Master, why?"

He didn’t believe that those people could actually capture Bai He.

Even if Bai He wasn’t great at fighting, his cultivation was still far superior to theirs.

Bai He looked at him somewhat speechlessly. "I did this, of course, because—"

"Master did it on purpose," Ye Shiyuan cut in.

At first, even Ye Shiyuan hadn’t realized it.

But just as Xu Feng had said, those people simply didn’t have the ability to trap Bai He.

That could only mean Bai He had other intentions.

"Originally, I thought that if we met Wanyan Xiyin, we might be able to enter Jurchen Manor easily. Who would’ve thought he came because of my looks?"

Xu Feng looked at Bai He with disdain. "Master, could you be a bit more low-key? That Wanyan Xiyin must be blind to take a liking to you."

Bai He took a deep breath.

Don’t get angry.

Absolutely don’t get angry.

There was no point getting angry at someone like Xu Feng.

"Junior Brother, don’t talk nonsense. Master is very good."

At a critical moment, Ye Shiyuan spoke up for him. But for some reason, Bai He felt like something about that sounded a bit strange.

"Senior Brother, you—"

Ye Shiyuan shot him a cold glance and Xu Feng immediately didn’t dare to continue.

Although Ye Shiyuan was usually gentle, when he was angry, Xu Feng didn’t dare provoke him.

"Master, don’t take Junior Brother’s words to heart. He doesn’t understand anything. He hasn’t grown up yet, he doesn’t understand Master’s charm at all."

Cough!

Love really does make people blind.

Bai He used to doubt that saying, but now he firmly believed it.

Xu Feng, meanwhile, inwardly sneered at Ye Shiyuan for being able to say such insincere words.

"Ahem, let’s not dwell on this issue anymore. Come here, both of you. Let’s discuss how we’re going to meet the Manor Master."

Bai He beckoned and the two of them immediately walked over while listening seriously to his plan.

Even though Bai He seemed unreliable, what he said actually sounded somewhat reasonable.

"Master, are you sure we’re really going to do this?"

"Master, I refuse."

Just as Bai He was about to respond, Ye Shiyuan rejected the proposal outright with a serious expression.

"I..."

"Master, how could we let you do something like that? They’re not worthy."

Xu Feng also agreed with Ye Shiyuan’s words. "Exactly, Master! Although I don’t think you look like much, using your looks... no! If Grandmaster finds out that I just stood by and watched you do something like that, I won’t be able to answer to him."

"If you don’t say anything, who would know? I’m the master—listen to me..." Bai He once again used that reasoning.

But Ye Shiyuan still looked stern, completely unwilling to change his stance. "Master, for other matters, I can let you have your way. But not this one."

"I’m not actually planning to do anything. I just want to get out. Only after we get out will we have a chance to meet Wanyan Aguda."

"Does Master want to meet Wanyan Aguda?"

Bai He nodded.

Wasn’t that an obvious question?

Wasn’t the whole reason they came here to meet Wanyan Aguda?

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together, then walked to the cell door.

A sense of unease rose in Bai He’s heart, what was Ye Shiyuan planning to do with that serious look on his face?

With a loud "bang," the lock broke.

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

Ye Shiyuan immediately rushed out.

The disciples of Jurchen Manor guarding outside were instantly knocked to the ground by him.

Bai He quickly ran out as well.

Fortunately, they were only injured and not killed.

"Shiyuan..."

Ye Shiyuan moved extremely quickly.

From outside, they could hear disciples shouting in panic, "Help! Someone’s escaping! Someone’s escaping!"

Escaping?

"Master, are they talking about us?" Xu Feng had already caught up.

"Obviously."

Ye Shiyuan really was something, if he was going to break out, he could at least have told him beforehand.
