"This pill is for you."
Ye Cangtian, while Bai Sulan was in a daze, took out a pill from his Qiankun bag and quickly tossed it into Bai Sulan's mouth.
This was the Feng Ling Dan.
Lu Junxiong had originally intended for Ye Cangtian to take it, saying he had to commit to the act to avoid suspicion. However, Ye Cangtian had not eaten it and had kept it.
You!
Bai Sulan reacted instantly, but it was too late. Her spiritual energy was sealed, leaving her completely powerless, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"It's your turn to go to jail. Behave yourself."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and then walked out of the cell.
Watching Ye Cangtian's retreating back, Bai Sulan slumped down.
She had initially considered shouting to attract the jailers.
But after thinking about it, she gave up. If it was a trap, the other party must have anticipated such moves.
Moreover, Ye Cangtian's spiritual energy was not sealed, so even if the jailers came, they would be of no use.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian stretched lazily, his gaze sweeping towards a dark corner in the distance.
"Come out. Weren't you trying to be the mantis behind the cicada? The praying mantis has already been dealt with, so it's time for you to make your move."
"You don't think you can escape, do you?"
He had long ago sensed another presence in the cell.
Needless to say, the other party was not there to visit, but to kill him. However, before they could make a move, Bai Sulan had arrived first.
Now that Bai Sulan had been dealt with, he might as well take care of the other person as well.
"I didn't expect this to be a trap!"
"You are indeed not easy to deal with. I was too foolish..."
A grim voice echoed from the corner, and in an instant, a figure slowly walked out.
The person was wearing jailer's attire, with a face full of unwillingness. It was Shuang Chi!
Like the Bai family, he had heard that Ye Cangtian had been imprisoned. Thinking the time was ripe, he disguised himself as a jailer and sneaked in, intending to seize an opportunity.
As a result, Bai Sulan had gotten there first, and he never expected that this was all part of the other party's plan.
Since it was a trap, the other party must have everything under control. It was basically impossible for him to break out now.
"So it's you, Shuang Chi!"
"Why isn't Yuwen Chengji here? Is he outside?"
Seeing Shuang Chi, Ye Cangtian's first thought was of Yuwen Chengji, as the latter was Yuwen Chengji's subordinate.
"What does that coward have to do with this? I'm the one who wants to eliminate you!"
Shuang Chi snorted. To be honest, he regretted not listening to Yuwen Chengji's advice, which had led him into this dangerous situation.
Therefore, he specifically called Yuwen Chengji a coward, hoping not to cause trouble for him.
This way, Yuwen Chengji could still trouble Ye Cangtian in the future and avenge him.
Fallen out?
Seeing the disdainful expression on Shuang Chi's face when he mentioned Yuwen Chengji, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself.
Then he looked at Shuang Chi and said, "Alright, I'll believe you for now. If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who killed those servants of the Bai family, weren't you?"
At these words, Bai Sulan in the cell immediately raised her head, looking at Shuang Chi and waiting for his answer.
She also knew that the attack on the Bai family's servants was an intentional provocation to enrage the Bai family, with the intention of framing Ye Cangtian.
However, at that time, she was too eager for revenge and paid no attention to these details. She went along with the plan and directly approached the enforcement team.
Now, she was really curious to see who this mastermind was!
"That's right! It was me!"
Shuang Chi admitted without hesitation.
Since he couldn't leave today, death was his only fate. What else did he have to fear admitting?
"Heh heh, that makes sense."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
This matter should have nothing to do with Yuwen Chengji. At least Yuwen Chengji had not attacked the Bai family.
The reason was simple: if Yuwen Chengji wanted to frame him, he wouldn't just kill a few servants. If he had killed some direct relatives of the Bai family, the Bai family would have gone mad!
And Shuang Chi was not incapable of thinking of this, but his strength was limited, and he feared being exposed or captured, so he had targeted the Bai family's servants.
"Shuang Chi, you despicable scoundrel, to do such a dirty deed!"
"How are you fit to join the Hidden Guard!"
Seeing Shuang Chi admit to everything, Bai Sulan immediately began to curse him.
One could seek revenge for grievances, but framing others by taking innocent lives was not the righteous path!
"Bai Sulan, don't talk about me. What about you?"
"For your own personal vendetta, you implicated the entire Bai family. You are no better than me!"
"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't been so intent on seeking revenge against Ye Cangtian, I wouldn't have had the chance to use the Bai family!"
Shuang Chi snorted contemptuously at Bai Sulan.
"You..."
At his words, Bai Sulan was rendered speechless and trembled with anger. She never expected that this incident was also because of her.
"Hmph! Bai Sulan, I can tell you more!"
"The incident where you and Bai Yuanhang were harassed by the river was also spread by me in secret, causing a huge scandal. The subsequent actions of the Bai family members were also reported by me..."
"It can be said that the Bai family becoming the focus of the entire city is all my credit, and also your credit!"
Seeing Bai Sulan's speechlessness, Shuang Chi snorted and continued to speak fiercely.
Puff!
As soon as his words fell, Bai Sulan was so enraged that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Why would you do this?"
"Why make things difficult for a woman?"
Ye Cangtian looked at Shuang Chi with a hint of disdain. Although Bai Sulan was detestable, it was due to the grief of losing her son. To put it plainly, he did not resent her and even felt a bit of pity.
"Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me. Do you think you're any better?"
Shuang Chi glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian, then pulled up his sleeve, revealing a neat scar on his shoulder.
He pointed at Ye Cangtian and roared, "Ye Cangtian, this is your masterpiece! Am I wrong for seeking revenge on you?"
"You are wrong!"
"If you hadn't involved others, I wouldn't have said anything about your revenge! But you used any means necessary for revenge, and that is wrong!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "You are also an old member of the Hidden Guard. Do you want to see the Hidden Guard fall apart and bring disaster upon us?"
"Damn it, what does that have to do with me!"
"That's your fault. Who told you to have such good luck to meet a broken old man, and also Dongfang Mingyue? If they didn't back you up, would you dare to oppose the Bai family?"
At this, Shuang Chi became furious.
If it weren't for these people, how could Yuwen Chengji have been so timid and unwilling to act?
How could he have fallen into such a predicament!
"You are truly incorrigible, blaming everything on others."
Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly and continued to say with disdain, "Did you not conspire with the Hu family to harm me? Did you not sneak attack Lin Chen? Did I not give you a chance?"
This...
Shuang Chi was also instantly speechless.
No matter how much he hated Ye Cangtian, these were facts.
After a long silence, Shuang Chi's face turned somewhat red, and he said fiercely, "There's no point in talking. Since I'm here today, I never intended to leave alive!"
As he spoke, Shuang Chi drew his spear.
He would rather choose to fight to the death than surrender to Ye Cangtian, let alone be imprisoned.
After all, besides Ye Cangtian, the Bai family would not let him go either. It was better to die a glorious death in prison than to be humiliated and die.
