Xiao Bai nodded proudly.
“Could you please take me to find him? As long as you rescue my cousin, 1 will definitely repay you.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai’s eyes instantly sparkled.
Restraining its urge to dash out, it raised its head and looked at Gu Xiaonan with a pair of dark eyes.
Gu Xiaonan turned to Gu Qingluan and asked for her opinion.
Gu Qingluan noticed that the servants at the Bai Family’s gate were watching them vigilantly.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she suggested taking the back door.
Besides, too many people entering would increase the risk of exposure.
Yu Jingting then said, “1 happen to be going to the Bai Family for condolences. I can help delay their time.”
Everyone thought this plan was feasible.
In the end, it was decided that Xiao Jingye, Gu Qingluan and her family, and Xiao Jingye’s bodyguard, Yang De, would enter. The others would remain outside.
Yu Jingting went to the Bai Family’s front door to offer condolences, trying to buy them some time.
With no time to waste, they split up.
Xiao Bai led the way, and everyone followed closely behind.
With Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan present, entering the Bai Family’s estate was like entering an uninhabited place. Even if they encountered people, they could easily conceal themselves.
Xiao Bai ran all the way to the Bai Family’s backyard and started circling among the rockery.
Gu Xiaonan asked, “Xiao Bai, are you lost?”
Xiaobai shook its head vigorously.
“It’s probably where the scent of the Ninth Prince ended,” Gu Qingluan guessed.
Xiao Bai nodded vigorously.
Yes, yes!
“I think the person is probably hidden in the rockery. Let’s all search for it. We should be able to find a mechanism.”
Upon hearing this, everyone started to act separately.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps approached.
Gu Qingluan and the others each found a concealed spot behind the rockery stones.
A man and a woman approached, their voices getting closer.
The man was instructing something to the woman.
Gradually, they reached the rockery.
“Come out!” The man suddenly shouted loudly.
His sharp gaze focused on the disheveled footprints in the snow.
Not long ago, it was still snowing.
The footprints were so clear; it was evident that they had appeared not long ago.
Ordinary people were not allowed to approach this place, so how could there be so many footprints?
Gu Qingluan followed his gaze and saw those footprints. She sighed inwardly, realizing they had been careless.
She used her arcane power to blur her appearance and walked out from behind the rockery stone.
Bai Ronghuan saw a woman emerge and showed a hint of surprise.
He questioned her sternly, “Who are you? Why are you here?”
Gu Qingluan replied casually, “I’m Miss Bai’s friend.”
Bai Ronghuan was skeptical. “Oh? What’s your name? I’ve never seen you before.”
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “It’s my first time here, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen me.”
From the conversation between the man and the maidservant earlier, Gu Qingluan had already figured out that he was the head of the Bai Family.
Seeming to accept her explanation, Bai Ronghuan furrowed his brow and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I would like to ask Master Bai for a favor.”
“What kind of favor? I’m busy today.”
“If you don’t help, then 1’11 have to resort to violence!”
A cold glint flashed in Bai Ronghuan’s peripheral vision. Startled, he tried to move away.
But the other person was quicker.
A sharp, icy blade was pressed against his neck.
Bai Ronghuan’s body froze, and he glanced at the man who had suddenly appeared.
He broke out in a cold sweat and couldn’t help but scold, “Who are you, and what do you want?”
“I actually want to ask why the Bai Family captured my cousin.”
Xiao Jingye held his sword against Bai Ronghuan, his gaze cold and sharp.
Bai Ronghuan’s heart raced, but his face displayed extreme confusion. “Young hero, have you misunderstood something? I don’t know you, and the Bai Family has never captured your cousin.”
Xiao Jingye reached forward, and the sharp blade immediately made a cut on Bai Ronghuan’s neck.
“I also want to know why you captured my cousin!”
Bai Ronghuan stammered, “Young hero, where did you hear such a rumor? 1 have never sent anyone to capture your cousin!”
Seeing that he was unwilling to admit it, Xiao Jingye’s eyes filled with a heavy murderous intent. In a cold tone, he said, “If you’re unwilling to talk, then you will never speak again!”
His hand holding the sword turned slightly, infusing arcane power into the blade.
Bai Ronghuan, frightened, staggered backward and slipped, tumbling away.
Xiao Jingye’s sword missed its target, and his eyes gleamed with icy determination as he swung it again towards him.
Boom!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted.
Snowflakes were sent high into the air, mingling with dense smoke, instantly submerging the entire rockery group.
“The smoke is toxic!”
Gu Qingluan warned aloud.
Xiao Jingye immediately held his breath upon hearing this.
Those hiding in various corners also took precautions to avoid inhaling the poisonous fumes.
Gu Qingluan was concerned about Xiaonan and Yuanxi, so she immediately searched for their figures.
Rumbling!
A rocky structure sped toward her swiftly.
Gu Qingluan casually swept her sleeve.
The sleeve’s breeze sent the rockery structure flying backward.
Gu Qingluan was about to go find her son when her surroundings suddenly blurred.
Everything around her turned into an icy wilderness.
The biting cold wind cut through the air like knives, constantly blowing towards her.
Gu Qingluan activated her arcane power, forming an invisible barrier around her. Her expression was cold as she surveyed her icy surroundings.
She hadn’t expected that the rockery structure would conceal an illusion formation.
Did they think something like this could trap her?
A sly smile curled on Gu Qingluan’s red lips as she raised her hand, intending to dispel the illusion.
Just at that moment, a familiar and deep voice echoed.
“Qingluan!”
Gu Qingluan’s back stiffened, and she slowly raised her head, looking to her right..
