Chapter 83

"Yan Lingji failed and was captured; it can only be said that her skills were inferior and her strength insufficient. She did not show enough value, and she is not worth my rescue."

That was what he said, but what Tian Ze thought in his heart, no one knew.

Bai Yifei looked at Tian Ze with a strange gaze and said, "I was just passing by and thought I'd tell you this news."

After saying this, his tone shifted, becoming extremely forceful. "I need you to do one thing!"

"What thing?"

"Kill Su Xuan!"

Tian Ze looked at Bai Yifei with some surprise.

Bai Yifei did not explain; he believed that Tian Ze would choose to do it.

As long as the gu worm was still in his body, even if he were unwilling, he would have to be restrained by him.

In the end, it was because Tian Ze did not want to die.

Not fearing death and not wanting to die are two entirely different concepts.

For Tian Ze, he carried deep hatred on his shoulders; even if he were to die, he had to take his revenge first.

To imprison Yan Lingji.

The Han Wang ordered someone to bring a huge iron cage, which was placed in Su Xuan's room. Yan Lingji was imprisoned inside, like a bird kept in a cage for people to admire.

But this bird was not a truly weak little bird, but a hunting hawk that would reveal its ferocious claws at any moment.

"You, your life is quite monotonous!"

Inside the cage, Yan Lingji squatted, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Su Xuan, who was taking elixirs and cultivating, and spoke softly.

Su Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Yan Lingji calmly. "What, are you willing to talk now?"

Earlier, the Han Wang had made a special trip here.

It was to interrogate Yan Lingji and ask her for more information about Tian Ze. Because Su Xuan was nearby, the Han Wang was fearless, not afraid that this enchantress would suddenly go berserk.

But the result was that he was disappointed.

Since being sent here, Yan Lingji had remained silent. Sometimes, when the Han Wang wanted to display royal majesty to intimidate her, he was instead met with a cold gaze, which made him feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Seeing that Yan Lingji was unwilling to speak, the Han Wang had intended to use torture, but after thinking about it, he eventually gave up.

It was already very late today, and the enchantress had already been captured anyway.

It would be the same to continue the interrogation tomorrow.

The reason she was unwilling to speak was nothing more than holding onto a glimmer of hope for her master, Tian Ze. Once the other Baiyue rebels were captured and her last hope was shattered, she would have no choice but to speak.

The Han Wang's reasoning was sound, but it could not change the fact that he was cowardly.

It was not surprising.

Baiyue, especially that Tian Ze, had left him with deep psychological trauma.

"I have nothing to say to that King of your Han; we are enemies who will fight to the death." Yan Lingji's voice was soft, and her bright, beautiful eyes fell on Su Xuan again. "But as for you, I can say a few words."

"You have extraordinary strength, so why serve that Han Wang? It would be better to defect to my master!"

"My master, Tian Ze, is thirsty for talent. If you are willing to defect, he will certainly not be stingy with his trust!"

A smile couldn't help but curl at the corners of Su Xuan's mouth. Yan Lingji's words made him feel it was quite interesting. "Listening to you, you don't look like a prisoner, but more like a lobbyist!"

Yan Lingji raised her hand to brush her hair and said, "If I say that this iron cage of yours cannot hold me, do you believe it?"

Su Xuan said, "Are you counting on your master to come and rescue you?"

A smile appeared at the corners of Yan Lingji's mouth. Her appearance was already extremely beautiful, and when she smiled, it could be said to be city-toppling. "So, do you want to consider my proposal?"

She was indeed waiting for her master to come.

But it was not to rescue her, but waiting for her master to descend upon this palace.

This was the palace of Han. When her master descended here, it would be the time for the Han Wang, one of the culprits who had brought so much pain to Baiyue, to lose his life.

Seeing that Yan Lingji was still persistent in trying to persuade him, Su Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Honestly, your proposal is not very good."

"Admittedly, your master's former status was extremely extraordinary; he was the Crown Prince of Baiyue. But in the end, he was only a Crown Prince, not even a King, let alone the fact that he was later stripped of his position by the King of Baiyue."

"Although because of some people's ambition, he did not die after the battle of Baiyue years ago, but saved his life."

"But whether it is this reappearance in the world or the desire for revenge, it cannot change the fact that he is already a stray dog."

"The so-called revenge is actually just the death throes of a stray dog. With no soldiers and no power, relying on the few people under his command, he will never be able to reverse the general trend."

Su Xuan's tone was indifferent, appearing completely unceremonious. "Let me think, who released this mad dog?"

"Oh, I remember now, it should be... Bai Yifei!"

He looked at Yan Lingji, his tone solemn. "Am I right!"
