Xu Yuehuai's attitude was firm, and her gaze towards Quan Cang held some displeasure. She just wanted to finish this matter quickly and leave. Quan Cang didn't say no, but put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Don't rush. I can give you the person, but I remember you didn't come up alone, right? Why didn't the other person come out to see me? Are you worried that I'll do something to her?"

Xu Yuehuai's hands, hanging by her sides, clenched slightly. She forced a smile, her expression lacking sincerity, and said, "I think this is between the two of us, right? It has nothing to do with anyone else. Since it has nothing to do with anyone else, why drag them into it?"

"Hey, that's not right. All who come are guests. I don't need to teach you that, do I? Since you're here, you should at least show up and meet them. That's the proper etiquette. If you don't, I know what Master and the others will think of me if they find out about this." Quan Cang started to act like a hypocrite at this moment. As he spoke, he kept looking in one direction, which was the direction where Yan Zhi was hiding in the shadows, with Xu Yuehuai concealing her.

I don't know when this game started, but it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose.

Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said, "What if I absolutely refuse to let you see this person today? Will you still let me go over, Senior Brother?"

Xu Yuehuai's last call was clearly meant to rouse Quan Cang's conscience and make him let her go. If it were the old Quan Cang, he might have been moved by these things, but not now. He chuckled twice and said, "I am quite happy to hear my junior sister call me, but letting her go is not so simple."

"How about this, you give me the people you brought, and I'll let you take these six people back. Wouldn't that be a good deal? But it's like trading one life for six. If it were me, I'd just agree to the conditions I'm offering." Quan Cang smiled, but the smile was somewhat eerie, making one feel cold all over. Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but her gaze remained fixed on Quan Cang.

After he finished speaking, Xu Yuehuai said, "Senior brother, you clearly know that this is impossible, so why did you ask? Is it just a formality? If I did that, I would be letting down everyone, including the six people I rescued."

“Oh? You really think so? But do you know what they think? They really want you to save them now. If you don’t go, do you think they will be disappointed? What do you think will happen in the end? Will it be the same as you imagined?” Quan Cang said with a smile, while showing Xu Yuehuai what Shi Mu had just said.

Xu Yuehuai's face grew increasingly grim as she looked at him. Quan Cang, seeing her like this, had a satisfied look in his eyes. This was exactly the result he wanted. As long as Xu Yuehuai was unhappy, he would become happy. "How was it? Wasn't it exciting? If you also think it was exciting, then that's right. This is the effect I wanted."

Xu Yuehuai smiled and said, "I don't understand why you want to show me this, Senior Brother. I just came to find them. It just so happens that the six people I'm looking for are here. I'd appreciate it if you could release them. Or do you want to fight me again today before you're done?"

"It's a bit crude to even mention fighting. I don't think this is a good way to solve problems. I don't want this solution. Junior sister, haven't you thought that once you're up here, you won't be able to get down? Do you think I'll let you go?" Quan Cang finally started talking to Xu Yuehuai about serious matters after he had had his fill of playing. But Xu Yuehuai was clearly hesitant about this matter. She lowered her head and didn't look at Quan Cang.

“I think, why not? I came secretly. As long as my senior brother pretends he has never seen me, I can take him away without any problem. That way, no one will know that we have a relationship. Next time we meet, we will still be enemies. Isn’t that better?” Xu Yuehuai said calmly.

Quan Cang was stunned for a moment. After realizing what Xu Yuehuai had said, he burst into laughter, clutching his stomach with one hand, waving his hand, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, I couldn't help laughing. My question is, I really didn't expect that my junior sister, who is such a grown-up, would still believe these things? Would she still think that we've fought so many times, there's still any friendship left? I don't even believe it myself. I never expected this."

On the other side, Yan Zhi was no longer there. When Xu Yuehuai diverted the attention of the person in front of her, Yan Zhi quietly left. Her goal was to find where Nangong Yu and the others were. Even if Xu Yuehuai was there, he would still need Yan Zhi, so it was better to split up.

Xu Yuehuai said those words without any hope that Quan Cang would agree; she just wanted to buy time and give Yan Zhi enough opportunity to find them. Once they were found, everything else would be easier to discuss.

Clearly, Quan Cang hadn't realized this yet. "If you ask me, Junior Sister, why don't you just come back with me obediently? Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly. If you are willing to follow me and become a parasitic vine, I can consider letting you go. Otherwise, one of us will definitely die here today."

"Don't blame your senior brother for being ruthless. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too powerful, so powerful that it makes me wary." Quan Cang spoke with a sinister smile, completely different from how Xu Yuehuai usually treated him.

On the other side, Yan Zhi's eyes were filled with anxiety, "Where is it? It's not here, it's not here either! Ahhh!"

The more anxious Yan Zhi was, the more inaccurate her calculations became. Her mind was completely focused on Xu Yuehuai, and she was in utter chaos. She started pacing back and forth, but the next second, sensing someone approaching, Yan Zhi immediately found a place to hide. The person she pulled in was the Rat Man. The Rat Man looked around the room, his eyes filled with disdain and wariness, and said to the air, "Come out. Stop hiding. I know where you are. You have nowhere to run. Instead of hiding, why don't you just come out and save me the trouble of searching for you?"

Yan Zhi wasn't fooled. The fact that the other party didn't come to her directly showed that they were still somewhat insecure. Although her spiritual power wasn't as high as Xu Yuehuai's, it wasn't bad either. Holding her breath and concentrating to prevent others from noticing was a piece of cake for her, and she wouldn't make any mistakes.
