Now that Zhao Feiyu's guards are all dead, she doesn't want to follow Sito Rongyan, but she has no choice; her situation is weak, and she must bow her head. The Sidu Family and the Zhao Family are both managers of the Royal Trading Company, so they should be equal. However, because Zhao Feiyu is inherently strong-willed, Sito Rongyan has always kept a low profile in front of her.
"Sito Rongyan, you will regret treating me this way!" Zhao Feiyu said angrily, her eyes looking at Sito Rongyan as if they were poisoned.
Sito Rongyan paid no attention to Zhao Feiyu's harsh words, let alone any thoughts of regret. After all, whether Zhao Feiyu could safely leave Lingchi Peak and return to the capital was already questionable; what weight did her threats carry?
"Miss, I think it would be better to seal her mouth as well," a guard whispered, worried that if Zhao Feiyu acted out of anger and disrupted their plans, it might awaken the dormant High-Level Mystic Beast, leaving them clueless about how they would meet their end.
Zhao Feiyu, whose Mysterious Energy had been sealed, was unaware of what the guard had said to Sito Rongyan. However, the next words she heard made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone.
"Reinforce the seal on her Mysterious Energy and then seal her Six Senses; let her enter the cave first."
"Sito..." Zhao Feiyu struggled violently, trying to stop the guards from sealing her Six Senses. But without her Mysterious Energy, she was no match for them. She opened her mouth to silently curse for a while before losing all sensation.
"Dog bites dog; it's just a mouthful of fur," Ning Zhiyuan observed from a distance. If it weren't for these two women provoking Ouyang Zixin, he wouldn't have the time to watch their internal strife.
Yun Tianmo ignored Ning Zhiyuan's comment; after all, such fresh remarks were definitely learned from Ouyang Zixin.
"Is it really okay to use them as bait?"
Before Yun Tianmo could respond, they saw Sito Rongyan ordering people to push the sealed Zhao Feiyu into the cave.
Under the bright moonlight, Yun Tianmo and Ning Zhiyuan stood high above watching and waiting for any movement from the cave below. Sure enough, not long after Zhao Feiyu entered, a roar echoed from within.
"Damn it. Didn't they say that High-Level Mystic Beasts are in a dormant stage?" Sito Rongyan was so frightened by the roar that she nearly lost half her life and immediately turned to flee.
The guards beside her were also startled; they couldn't understand how a Mystical Beast in a dormant stage could wake up.
"Miss, wait." The leader of the guards was a robust man. His eyes turned sharply as he said, "It is normal for a Mystical Beast in a dormant stage to wake up occasionally. Once it has eaten that Zhao Family young lady, I believe it will quickly return to its dormant state."
Startled, Sito Rongyan paused and asked with some confusion if it was certain there was no danger. After receiving a positive response, she turned back around.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was still no sound coming from the cave, and it was unclear whether Zhao Feiyu was alive or dead. Sito Rongyan was becoming increasingly anxious and impatiently asked, "Are we ready yet?"
The fierce leader of the guards signaled to his brothers behind him, and two men slowly moved towards the cave, one on each side.
"Miss, please remain calm. I will have my brothers check it out first."
"Action." Yun Tianmo suddenly said two words, catching Ning Zhiyuan off guard. He felt two figures dart past him, heading straight for Sito Rongyan and her group.
Screams and sounds of fighting instantly shattered the night's silence. Most of the noise came from Sito Rongyan's side, while the shadow guards moved swiftly and efficiently, subduing everyone in just a short time.
"Master."
Yun Tianmo looked down on those people entirely, lightly flicking his fingers to signal the shadow guards to throw everyone into the cave.
"What are you doing? Feeding the Mystical Beast?" Ning Zhiyuan thought these people were merely bait to drain some energy from the Ancient Mystic Beast. He didn't expect that Yun Tianmo would go so far as to package them up and deliver them directly to the Ancient Mystic Beast.
Yun Tianmo had no intention of explaining Ning Zhiyuan's doubts; he merely cast a disdainful glance at him that lingered slightly longer than usual, allowing Ning Zhiyuan to catch it perfectly.
"Hey, what does that look in your eyes mean?" Ning Zhiyuan followed behind Yun Tianmo, feeling indignant. He argued that using those people as bait wasn't wrong.
"The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast is herbivorous."
Yun Tianmo's voice was neither loud nor soft, drifting over and making Ning Zhiyuan feel an urge to dig a hole and hide in it.
Is it true that those who spend too much time with Ouyang Zixin lose their usual standards when facing Yun Tianmo?
Inside the cave, there were actually no signs of any Mystical Beasts; that roar was merely a ruse orchestrated by Yun Tianmo.
"Where is Zhao Feiyu?" Ning Zhiyuan entered the cave behind Yun Tianmo and found that aside from Sito Rongyan and her guards, there was no sign of Zhao Feiyu.
The Shadow Guard was dragging Sito Rongyan and a few others deeper into the cave, showing no signs of tenderness.
"Let her go." Yun Tianmo had never personally entered this cave before, but now that he examined it closely, it didn't seem like a lair for Mystical Beasts at all; rather, it had the feel of a secluded retreat for an otherworldly master.
There was a complete set of wooden tables and chairs, and even the tea bowls were made of wood. If Yun Tianmo had ever visited Nameless's residence in the secret realm, he would find these two places strikingly similar.
The only difference was that there were no beds inside this cave.
"You let Zhao Feiyu go?" Ning Zhiyuan had heard about Zhao Feiyu's deeds; she had played a significant role in drugging Ouyang Zixin. Letting her go seemed inappropriate.
"Ning Young Master, releasing Zhao Feiyu is necessary to attract that High-Level Mystic Beast." The Shadow Guard noticed Yun Tianmo's increasingly serious expression and worried that Ning Zhiyuan might disrupt the Master's thoughts, so he reluctantly explained.
But the problem lay in that vague explanation. What did "letting Zhao Feiyu go is necessary to attract that High-Level Mystic Beast" mean? Could it be that Zhao Feiyu had the ability to attract Mystical Beasts?
Ning Zhiyuan had been summoned to this remote location by a message from Yun Tianmo. If he didn't clarify things today, Ning Zhiyuan would definitely not let it go easily.
"Um..."
Sito Rongyan, dragged deep into the cave by the Shadow Guard, perhaps due to her delicate skin rubbing against the ground, woke up earlier than those guards.
She looked around in confusion, unable to comprehend where she was or what had just happened. It wasn't until she saw two figures standing not far from the cave entrance against the moonlight that she cautiously asked, "Who are you?" (To be continued.)
