The sky darkened and the cave became extremely gloomy. Song Qingbai had just opened his eyes when he felt weak all over.
Her hands and feet were tied, and not far away was the dirty red-haired boy. Was she being kidnapped?
Song Qingbai's heart moved slightly, and he silently called out to the system.
"Ruyi, Ruyi, are you here? What happened?"
"Host, you have been kidnapped."
The system responded very seriously, causing Song Qingbai's face to fall.
"Ruyi, I'm asking you who kidnapped me and what they want to do?"
Song Qingbai sighed softly.
"Oh, sorry, host, this is a hidden plot, Ruyi, I can't reveal it."
"Can the teleportation array be used?"
"Haha, that's fine! Host, do you need to teleport now? Do you want to take that boy with you?"
The system was very gossipy and didn't notice that Song Qingbian's expression changed several times.
"Not for now. Let's see who it is now. It won't be too late to use the teleportation array when the crisis comes."
Faint footsteps were heard, and Song Qingbai quickly closed his eyes again.
Until the footsteps approached and stopped not far from her.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
A low and hoarse voice sounded, and the person who spoke had deliberately changed his voice so that it was impossible to tell who it was.
However, from this point, Song Qingbai could conclude that it must be someone she knew.
"Very good, there is nothing to worry about here, you can leave now!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Another set of footsteps faded away, but one was heading out of the cave, and the other was heading towards him.
"Since you're awake, why don't you open your eyes?"
The pressure from all around suddenly rose. Song Qingbai wanted to continue pretending to be unconscious, but he had to open his eyes the next moment.
"This...uh, what's your name?"
Song Qingbai had the system with him, so he was not afraid. He calmly opened his eyes and looked up and down at the person in front of him.
He was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of dark and cruel eyes.
Is he a man or a woman? If he didn't speak like a man, it would be impossible to tell.
"You are quite brave. You can remain calm even when facing death."
The man in black robe lowered his eyes to look at Song Qingbai, waved his hand and took off the veil on her face.
This stunningly beautiful face really resembles that person...
"Your Excellency in Black Robe, I have no grudge against you. Why are you trying to kill me? Is it just because I'm good-looking?"
A hint of shock flashed across the black-robed man's eyes, which did not escape Song Qingbai's eyes.
Song Qingbai struggled to steady himself, then asked with a smile.
There was no fear on her face, and she looked a little casual, which made the man in black robe shudder.
He had thought that the two would be very similar, but he didn't expect that they were actually like they were carved from the same mold.
"It seems you've already woken up!"
Seeing Song Qingbai calling him Venerable, he quickly realized it.
"Yeah! I woke up a long time ago. I just wanted to see what you were looking for me. If you want to invite me for tea and chat, you can just come to my Chunshui Residence. There's no need to go to the trouble of bringing me to this shabby cave!"
Song Qingbai leaned against the stone wall, without fear.
"It's rare for such courage to be so young. However, since you are so smart, have you ever guessed why I brought you here?"
The man in black robe glanced at Song Qingbai, then his eyes fell on the red-haired boy covered in dirt.
"For the sword bone?"
Song Qingbai noticed his gaze shift and his eyes changed slightly.
"Hahaha, you are indeed a smart person. It seems that you are very different from the rumors."
The man in black robe smiled inexplicably, and his figure moved and landed directly next to Song Qingbai.
"Tell me, what would it feel like when the sword bone is separated from the body?"
He reached out and pinched Song Qingbai's cheek. His dark blue eyes flashed with violence, which made Song Qingbai feel a sense of fear in his heart.
"Ruyi, who is this person? Why does he have such a terrifying aura?"
"Sorry, host, I'm really not very clear about this Ruyi!"
"Then I want to activate the teleportation array. Can I take the young man with me?"
"Sorry, host, if you want to take that boy away, you must have physical contact with him. There is still some distance between you two, so you can't take him away!"
The system's calm explanation made Song Qingbai's mouth twitch silently.
"What? Are you scared now?"
Seeing that Song Qingbai looked unhappy, the man in black robe had a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Your Excellency, let's discuss this! I can give you the sword bone from my body, but I'm afraid you can't bear to see a beautiful woman like me die in such pain, right?"
The girl's face turned pale, and her voice was filled with misery as she begged softly.
"Don't worry, I'll act quickly."
In a trance, the man in black robe let go of Song Qingbai and whispered.
He originally wanted to take the sword bone away directly, but when he saw Song Qingbai's face, he still felt a little reluctant.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if I die. Over there is my seriously injured friend. He is innocent. I want to feed him a spiritual pill. This way, even if I die, I can leave with peace of mind, okay?"
Song Qingbai's fox eyes turned, and as he spoke, there was a sobbing sound in his tone, making the dark cave seem even more lonely.
"Your Majesty, there's a barrier you've set up inside the cave. My cultivation isn't high, and I've been drugged, so I can't escape. Please grant me one last wish!"
Song Qingbai looked at the man in black robe with a sad look in his eyes, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes.
