"What, are you disappointed to see me?" Inside the hall, Bai Yu looked at Ji Yinglei with a mocking expression. He was very curious about what this "ally" was thinking.
Ji Yinglei was always so impatient with him. After all, in her eyes, although Bai Yu was old, his behavior was undeniably childish: "Besides disappointment, should I have any other emotions?"
“I’ve already done as you said, and I won’t do anything until you return to Hangzhou.” Bai Yu stepped forward with a smile and untied Ji Yinglei’s ropes. “Don’t worry, she won’t suspect anything. After all, even the Qin Envoy doesn’t know about this, otherwise she wouldn’t have brought you here tied up like this.”
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the floral decoration on Ji Yinglei's forehead: "I'm also really curious, what kind of script did you write for Jiang Yingyue and me?"
"You went to all this trouble to see me just to say this?" Ji Yinglei's voice remained cold and sharp, completely different from Bai Yu's smile that concealed a knife. "My arrangements have nothing to do with you."
"How dare you offend the Alliance Leader like this!" The maid Fen'er, who had been watching all this from a short distance away, immediately defended Bai Yu upon seeing Ji Yinglei's attitude. However, Ji Yinglei only glanced at her, and the fierce look in his eyes made her a little uneasy.
Bai Yu chuckled, then looked at Fen'er, but his gaze was different from before. His smile concealed a sinister and twisted quality that was unimaginable to ordinary people: "You've got some nerve, eavesdropping on such important secrets and still daring to speak so rudely."
Fen'er was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and repeatedly apologized. Even though Bai Yu didn't let her leave, she didn't dare to argue anymore. But instead of receiving his pity, she was dragged out by the disciples outside the door, and no one knew what would happen to her.
"The White Alliance Leader's actions are truly disgusting."
Bai Yu turned around and looked at Ji Yinglei, who was expressionless: "A mere maid, killing her is fine, but the most important thing is you."
"Isn't this little maid's audacity thanks to you? You use sweet words when you need her, but when it comes to killing her in front of me, you don't hesitate at all." Ji Yinglei knew that he and Bai Yu were the same kind of people. "We are not very reliable allies either. Such a threat is probably not in line with your status."
Bai Yu slowly approached Ji Yinglei, deliberately feigning a troubled expression: "Intimidation? Miss Ji, you think too badly of me. I was just showing you..."
Halfway through his sentence, Bai Yu had already reached out his hand. As if it were pre-planned, the next second, Ji Yinglei suddenly lost all his strength and collapsed, only to be caught by Bai Yu.
"...My sincerity."
Bai Yu continued, staring intently at Ji Yinglei, "Two envoys have already been defeated, and even the Shield Envoy has been killed. In your script, the one who ultimately kills Jiang Yingyue and is then killed by you is me, isn't he?"
Only a faint candlelight flickered in the main hall, and Ji Yinglei couldn't tell what Bai Yu was planning to do. She didn't answer, and clearly, Bai Yu had guessed correctly.
"It's truly heartbreaking. I liked you so much and helped you so much, and in the end, this is all I deserve in your heart." Bai Yu lowered his head and sat down on the ground with Ji Yinglei. "Tell me, which of us did something more disgusting?"
"Heh." Ji Yinglei laughed instead of getting angry. "It seems we really are the same kind of people, even surprisingly consistent in scheming against each other, Alliance Leader Bai."
"The medicine you prescribed for me was all carefully prepared by the physician. I've been waiting for this day," Bai Yu whispered in Ji Yinglei's ear. "Someone like you, if you can be used by me, that's what truly matters..."
“Since the Alliance Leader has said so, I will back down.” Ji Yinglei interrupted Bai Yu, not wanting to waste any more time here. “I only want Jiang Yingyue dead. As for what happens next, I can give up.”
This was the answer Bai Yu wanted to hear. He took out a pill and fed it to Ji Yinglei: "Then I have no choice but to back down. After this is done, don't forget to come to me for the antidote."
