Chapter 299: Su Yan Taken Hostage?

“Yan Yan, let me go in with you?”

Arriving at the place where Liu Yiyi was being held, Gu Yang nervously took Su Yan by the wrist.

Liu Yiyi had always been full of hostility toward her; even as a prisoner, she remained extremely dangerous.

Su Yan gave him a reassuring smile and then analyzed, “You going in will only provoke her.”

“But…”

“I’ll be careful.”

Su Yan stated her stance before Gu Yang could finish his sentence.

Gu Yang’s eyes flickered, still unable to set his mind at rest.

“Brother Gu, rest assured. We have already restrained Liu Yiyi; she cannot harm Su Yan,” Du Jinsong proactively explained.

In truth, they all knew quite well that even if Liu Yiyi were jumping about with vitality right now, she absolutely could not harm Su Yan in the slightest.

Receiving Du Jinsong's guarantee, Gu Yang could only let go of Su Yan.

Under the gaze of the group, Su Yan strode inside.

“Big Brother Du, do we really not need to follow her in to take a look?” Tian Wei’s voice was low and serious as she reminded everyone.

What if that Su Yan was in league with Liu Yiyi?

What if she did something to Liu Yiyi?

In her view, Du Jinsong's decision this time was a mistake.

Du Jinsong merely gave her a "no need" look in place of an answer.

The place where Liu Yiyi was held looked like nothing more than an ordinary room; there weren't even any bars to block the way.

However, Su Yan immediately saw the faint, shimmering light of a formation. Even she could not discern for a moment exactly what kind of formation this was.

When Su Yan entered, Liu Yiyi was sitting on the only bed in the room.

There was no color in her face; she was so pale that she didn't look like a normal human at all.

To have turned into this state after only one night was quite unexpected for Su Yan.

When Liu Yiyi saw her enter, she froze for a moment, then stood up and slowly approached her, only to stop abruptly when she was just four steps away.

Su Yan’s gaze, obscured by the black cloth, fell upon the spot where she had stopped. It seemed that was the edge of the formation.

Liu Yiyi’s sinister eyes fell upon Su Yan’s face, wondering why she was dressed like this.

However, once she confirmed that Su Yan had entered alone, a sharp light immediately flashed in her eyes.

“I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. But what makes me even more curious is that you actually dared to come in alone to see me? Where is Gu Yang? Where are the others? Are they all outside the door?”

As she spoke, she increased her volume toward the door, attempting to confirm her suspicion.

Su Yan looked at her expressionlessly, only speaking after the string of questions had fallen.

“You won't escape.”

A trace of venomous resentment surfaced on Liu Yiyi's face. “Hmph, don't think that just because you caught me, I will behave. Someone will definitely come to rescue me!”

“Are you talking about Feng Zong? He is already dead.”

Su Yan ruthlessly tore away her last shred of hope.

Liu Yiyi's expression changed drastically, her emotions instantly becoming agitated.

“You're lying!”

Su Yan sneered, “Otherwise, why do you think I am able to stand here?”

Liu Yiyi’s breathing became rapid, and her head began to ring.

“Impossible! How could the Lord die so easily?!”

She let out a frustrated, frantic roar.

If Feng Zong really was dead, then what was she supposed to do?

Su Yan merely watched her quietly.

“You're lying to me, aren't you? The Lord is so powerful, he definitely won't die...” Liu Yiyi screamed at her, as if doing so would make Feng Zong appear immediately.

“He is also human. If you are human, you will die,” Su Yan stated the fact.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi felt as if the sky were collapsing. She tried to rush toward Su Yan, but the moment she made a move, a powerful force repelled her.

The violent pain of falling to the ground reminded her that she had now become a prisoner.

It took a full several dozen seconds before Liu Yiyi finally gave up struggling.

Even so, she still refused to believe that Feng Zong was dead.

“Speak. What did you come in here for?”

She straightened her clothes and hair, stood up, and looked at Su Yan.

“There is indeed something I want to ask you,” Su Yan did not beat around the bush.

Liu Yiyi laughed contemptuously. As long as she still had utility value, there was hope of escaping.

And as long as she escaped, she could start over from the beginning.

Su Yan did not care about her current attitude at all. “What exactly is different about Gu Yang?”

She had to figure this out to ensure that Gu Yang would not face the same danger in the future.

Instead of being surprised, Liu Yiyi’s smile grew even more brilliant.

“I didn't expect it. You truly have deep feelings for Gu Yang.”

Su Yan naturally gave no reaction.

Once Liu Yiyi had finished laughing, she feigned nonchalance and turned to sit back on the bed.

“Do you really want to know?”

Su Yan replaced her answer with silence.

Liu Yiyi beckoned to her lazily. “Then come over here. I will only tell you.”

Su Yan stood in place, motionless.

Liu Yiyi’s eyes darted around as she intentionally provoked her. “What, afraid? Then you can forget about knowing for the rest of your life.”

As expected, her words had an effect; in the next second, Su Yan actually took a step forward.

One step.

Two steps.

With almost every step Su Yan took, Liu Yiyi's nerves tightened further.

Just two more steps and this woman would walk into the formation.

One more step.

When one of Su Yan's feet crossed into the formation, Liu Yiyi's emotions nearly spiraled completely out of control.

Although she couldn't get out, the people outside could come in. With her abilities, controlling Su Yan would be as easy as turning her hand.

This foolish woman!

Su Yan seemed to be very cautious; she stopped as soon as she stepped into the range of the formation, still six or seven meters away from Liu Yiyi.

“What happened to your eyes?” Liu Yiyi changed the subject to distract her.

Su Yan replied perfunctorily, “Being locked in your dungeon for so long, I can't handle the stimulation of strong light.”

Liu Yiyi's mind wasn't on that at all. During the conversation, she rose from the bed and approached her stealthily.

So, she was currently blind and couldn't see what she was doing at all; it was as if even the heavens were helping her.

“Can you tell me now? What exactly is different about Gu Yang?” Su Yan repeated her previous question.

By now, Liu Yiyi was only one step away from her.

At this moment, a distorted light flickered in Liu Yiyi's eyes, and a dark glow emerged from her fingertips behind her back.

“Fine, then I'll tell you.”

As her voice fell, her fingers tapped against Su Yan's shoulder.

Su Yan let out a cry of pain and froze in place.

“What did you do to me?”

Having succeeded, Liu Yiyi struggled to suppress the sound of her laughter. “You idiot, you are my hostage now.”

As long as she used this idiot to threaten the people outside, she could escape.

“Despicable and shameless! You actually deceived me?” Su Yan cursed in a fit of rage.

Liu Yiyi's face was full of triumph. “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid.”

Su Yan gritted her teeth. “I am already under your control. Can you tell me the secret regarding Gu Yang now?”
