29: Chapter 29: The Torn Young Master Bai 29: Chapter 29: The Torn Young Master Bai Meanwhile, at the Muyun Society, after Duan Tang and An Yiqing parted ways, he was escorted away by his arriving subordinates.

Ruan Hao informed Duan Tang’s personal physician, and it was only after confirming that he was unharmed that he heaved a sigh of relief.

Duan Tang bandaged his wounds and sat on the sofa in his white pajamas, lost in thought.

Everything about today’s events was odd; who were those who dared attack him at such a disconcerting time, without fear of provoking the full assault of the Muyun Society?

Or, was it that…

the assailant’s purpose was actually to draw the Muyun Society into the fray?

Duan Tang’s clear and gentle eyes flickered slightly, as he thought things over in his mind.

It was as if he suddenly thought of something, and his gaze slowly fell upon his right wrist, where the image of An Yiqing’s stunningly beautiful face came to mind.

This girl was even more impressive than he had imagined.

He had originally thought she was just a physician with profound Medical Arts, but it turned out she was also an Ancient Martial Artist.

Although he didn’t know why he couldn’t sense her presence, perhaps she, like him, carried some precious treasure on her person.

However, that wasn’t his concern; he just wanted to know what exactly was her relationship with Gu Yelin.

He felt as if some of his emotions were already out of control.

Duan Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze focused and deep.

**

Shuixie Lanting, a well-known wealthy villa community.

It was here that Gu Yelin’s villa was located.

In the quiet study, Gu Yelin sat still at the desk in a black robe, with a computer on the desk, clearly in the midst of a video conference.

“How are those people doing?”

“Boss, those people are really strange.

Once brought to the base, they are like sleeping, unresponsive to any provocation, yet all of their bodily functions are exceedingly normal.

We haven’t gotten anything out of them so far.” The red-haired man, frustrated, ruffled his hair which he had previously styled sharply but now made look like a turkey’s plumage.

“What does Ye Hong say?”

“Don’t even mention Ye Hong; he almost dissected those people!” With every mention of Ye Hong, the redhead felt a headache coming on.

Ye Hong was a medical madman who saw everyone as if they were corpses—no one but the boss could handle him.

“Lock them up for now, I will take a look tomorrow.”

At these words, the redhead nodded.

The recent events were so bizarre that even the skies over Xuandu City felt oppressively gloomy.

Gu Yelin closed the video call, pondered in silence for a while, then turned on another computer beside him.

For a time, the only sound in the quiet study was the tapping of the keyboard.

The computer screen was filled with strange symbols that no one but Gu Yelin could understand.

In the early hours of that day, the Muyun Society suddenly issued an edict—an extraordinary proclamation—An Yiqing was to be considered a distinguished guest of the Muyun Society, and within all its territories, she was to be accorded every courtesy!

This edict shocked the world of martial arts; it had been nearly a hundred years since the Muyun Society had issued such a command.

Who was this An Yiqing, that warranted Head Duan to use an edict that the Muyun Society had not used in a century?

The next day

The gentle morning sunlight streamed into the dormitory, as An Yiqing slowly opened her eyes to see two pairs of large black eyes staring intently at her.

An Yiqing blinked groggily, blinked again, and uttered a sound as soft and fluffy as that of a kitten, “What are you doing?”

Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting got up especially early today with the sole purpose of catching An Yiqing and giving her a severe interrogation.

“Spill it, what were you up to last night?” The aggressively sexy Ruan Xue was the first to speak.

Qingqing had disappeared since yesterday afternoon and only came back after they had both fallen asleep.

Had they not known Qingqing was quite capable, they would have called the police.

As An Yiqing thought about what happened last night, Gu Yelin unexpectedly came to mind, causing a troubled look to appear on her face, “Cough, that…

I went to dinner with a friend.”

“Qingqing, your face is all red!”

“Oh my God!

You weren’t with my Third Brother all night, were you?” Gu Tingting boldly conjectured.

When it came to Third Young Master Gu’s decisive manner, she remained quite calm, as he has always been swift and efficient in his dealings, including the pursuit of a wife.

“Wait, didn’t you go to have dinner with Brother Duan Tang last night?” Ruan Xue remembered the appointment Duan Tang mentioned when he came to find An Yiqing a few days ago.

It was supposed to be yesterday.

An Yiqing looked headache-stricken at the two gossiping spirits in front of her.

How could she explain?

Should she tell them that she not only had dinner with Duan Tang but also went to the hospital with Gu Yelin, and incidentally, beat up a few people?

Would they string her up and lash her with a whip?…

Just as An Yiqing was entangled in how to phrase her response, there was a knock at the dormitory door, and the fierce voice of the dorm caretaker rang from outside, “An Yiqing, someone’s looking for you downstairs!”

“Someone’s here for me, I’m heading down first, ha.” For the first time, An Yiqing found the dorm caretaker unexpectedly cute and understanding, like an angel with a bare butt and a halo above her head~

An Yiqing casually put on a jacket over her nightdress, striding out without feeling out of place in such attire.

It cannot be denied – being attractive really meant even a sack would look stylish.

As An Yiqing descended the stairs, she wondered who would be visiting her early in the morning.

She ran through the names of everyone she knew but couldn’t come up with an answer.

Bai Yiming had been feeling depressed these past few days.

Ever since that Saturday when he came back from Prosperous Haoting, he felt uneasy, and his mind was filled with the image of An Yiqing’s delicate face.

To say he liked her, Young Master Bai would definitely not admit such a thing.

It had to be that this woman was too unique – yes, that must be it.

These past days, nothing he did seemed right, as if there was a tiny claw scratching inside his heart.

Bai Yiming, who never mistreated himself, made a decisive decision: he had to find that woman and settle the score!

So when An Yiqing saw Bai Yiming appear before her, her brain short-circuited for a moment.

Why was he here?

“Don’t look at me with those weird eyes.

I don’t even know why I came to find you!” Bai Yiming, typically known for his gentlemanly demeanor, frustratedly ran his fingers through his hair.

Any sign of his usual charisma and grace had been thrown to the ends of the earth.

“Mr.

Bai, did you call me down this early just to let me watch you go crazy?” An Yiqing looked at Bai Yiming as if he were an idiot.

She had never had a very good impression of this fickle playboy, and seeing him today only worsened her outlook, “Please go back to wherever you came from, Mr.

Bai.

I have to attend class, excuse me.”

As Bai Yiming watched An Yiqing begin to leave, he quickly grabbed her arm, “Don’t go—ah!”

When An Yiqing’s arm was grabbed, she reflexively applied force and twisted the other’s wrist.

Snap, and then came Bai Yiming’s cry of pain…

Bai Yiming felt like crying, yes or no?

To think that he, the formidable Young Master Bai, would be caught off guard and have his wrist dislocated by a petite woman.

What on Earth had he come here for today?
