Only at this moment did he know that he was wrong, very wrong.
Baili Yin’s throat tightened, and he felt cold all over. He wanted to ask Gu Yanfei what exactly he had done just now, but he couldn’t say a word for a long time. It was as if once he asked, he would show weakness.
Previously, when Gu Yanfei mentioned Li Yunrong, although he was shocked, he was still confident and certain that Gu Yanfei couldn’t escape from his palm.
But now…
His confidence had already been completely defeated in just an incense’s time.
Baili Yin’s eyes were filled with almost shocked emotions. His hands were clenched into fists, and the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose was so strong that he couldn’t breathe.
He couldn’t believe that he would actually be unable to resist just now. He would actually watch helplessly as his guards died tragically in the hands of Gu Yanfei’s guards.
How could this be?!
Baili Yin couldn’t understand at all. He had clearly arrived here before Gu Yanfei for an incense’s time. He had also ordered his guards to investigate the surroundings for two miles. There were no ambushes in this area. He knew this the best.
That was why he gave the order to stop Gu Yanfei’s carriage.
Although Gu Yanfei knew some Daoist spells, she wasn’t omnipotent. Her abilities also had their limitations, just like how a peerless expert with outstanding martial arts couldn’t defeat an army of thousands.
In any case, under the cover of his guards, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed.
However, all his guards were dead. Everything now completely exceeded his expectations. He had fallen, and he was so caught off guard.
Gu Yanfei was clearly prepared today. She brought an extraordinary guard with her, and he actually forgot himself just now because of a cat, as if he was being seduced?
He was filled with doubts. He looked at the beautiful three-flowered cat in Gu Yanfei’s arms and was in a daze.
Such a beautiful and cute little cat was like a peerless beauty, so it was natural for him to be absent-minded for a moment.
Just as this thought appeared, Baili Yin hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue and tried his best to calm himself down. He told himself what he was thinking.
“Let me ask you a question.” Gu Yanfei tilted her little face and looked at Baili Yin, whose face was alternately green and white. She went straight to the point and asked, “Do you know about Gu Ce?”
Gu Ce? Baili Yin woke up from his chaotic thoughts. He was first stunned, then he smiled. His smile returned to its previous playfulness, as if the surrounding corpses didn’t exist.
He didn’t say anything and just stared at Gu Yanfei without saying a word. His gaze was so sharp that it seemed to want to penetrate her appearance.
After staying in the State of Jin for a few months, he naturally knew that Chu Yi was rehabilitating Gu Yanfei’s deceased father, Gu Ce. This matter had long caused an uproar in Da Jing.
“Aren’t you going to say it?” Gu Yanfei’s tone was extremely casual, as if Baili Yin, the dignified Third Prince of the State of Yue, was nothing in her eyes.
For a moment, Baili Yin was angered by Gu Yanfei’s expression. He raised the corners of his eyes frivolously and said in his usual unrestrained tone, “If Miss is willing to return to the State of Yue with me, I’ll tell you.”
“In the State of Yue, there’s a dossier on the battle between the two countries nine years ago. Don’t you want to see it, Second Lady Gu?” He calmly threw out the bait.
Gu Yanfei looked at him. Her right index finger casually curled up a strand of black hair, occasionally, as if she was distracted.
However, Baili Yin knew that she was listening and knew that she was very concerned about overturning the case for Gu Ce. Otherwise, why would Chu Yi do this to please her? Otherwise, why would she put herself in danger to ask him?
“When we go to the State of Yue, I promise you that I can give you those dossiers.” Baili Yin wasn’t in a hurry. He said slowly, “I can help reverse your father’s case.”
After deliberately pausing for a moment, Baili Yin looked at Gu Yanfei’s red lips that were like petals and continued in an extremely bewitching tone, “I can do whatever Young Master Yi can do for you.”
Baili Yin’s gaze moved slightly, and a tempting smile appeared on his lips.
In a few words, he took back the initiative. His heart was as clear as a mirror. He had his value, so when the others died, he was still standing here safe and sound.
Just now, Gu Yanfei ruthlessly instructed her subordinates to kill so many of his guards. To put it bluntly, it was just to intimidate him and break through his guard.
Unfortunately, it was a pity that she had underestimated him too much.
When the wind blew, not only did the smell of blood in the air not disappear, but it also became even stronger.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive like the eve of a storm. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and swords flashed.
“How is it? Have you considered it, Second Lady Gu?” Baili Yin smiled again and approached step by step as he continued to ask, “Do you want to return to the State of Yue with me?”
Without waiting for Gu Yanfei to answer, he continued, “Second Lady Gu, even if you control me, what can you do?”
“Are you going to kill me?”
“I came to the State of Jin from the State of Yue. If I can’t successfully return to the State of Yue, the battle between the two countries will probably be inevitable.”
“Are you going to let the two countries start a war for me alone?”
“Heh, you’re a smart person… aren’t you?”
The corners of Baili Yin’s mouth curled up slightly as he asked with an affirmative tone, as if he had completely seen through Gu Yanfei and didn’t care about the short sword in Gu Yanfei’s hand at all..
