Chapter 210 - 208: You Can’t Catch Him.

Chapter 210: Chapter 208: You Can’t Catch Him.

Bai Chaosi went rigid.

Her back-to-back remarks seemed to wound him deeply.

In the gaze he fixed on Shen Yue, frost seemed to form, layer by layer.

Shen Yue looked at him, not at all thinking her words had hurt Bai Chaosi so much.

After all, he and that Xiao Ya had spent the night together in a small courtyard—a man and a woman, all alone.

’Who knows what might have happened?’

Besides, she had seen with her own eyes yesterday how considerate and caring he was toward Xiao Ya.

He even doted on that woman right in front of her.

Huang Ziyue stood behind Shen Yue, his eyes narrowed as he watched the expression on Bai Chaosi’s face freeze over, inch by inch.

Last night, after Shen Yue returned to her courtyard, she had seemed completely unconcerned about Bai Chaosi’s amnesia. In reality, from the next room over, he could hear that she hadn’t slept well all night.

The sounds of her tossing and turning only subsided as dawn approached, when she had finally, barely, fallen asleep.

He knew that Shen Yue had feelings for Bai Chaosi—feelings that even she couldn’t control.

And yet, this man just had to go and hurt her, time and time again.

As Shen Yue’s man, he had never once treated her well.

He was always causing her repeated emotional pain.

A male who had already been branded with Shen Yue’s Female Master mark, yet he couldn’t tell what was important? Staying in the same place with another female, a man and a woman all alone?

This was a major taboo.

He had completely disregarded Shen Yue’s feelings.

In his eyes, Bai Chaosi was already tainted.

’What right does he have to compete with me for Shen Yue’s love anymore?’

With that, Shen Yue raised an eyebrow at him.

"If you’re not willing to let her come in and talk, then you should hurry back. Don’t keep your darling, the love of your life, waiting!"

"Also, my husband is right. It’s best not to do things halfway. One must see things through to the end. If you’re going to feign amnesia, you have to feign it all the way, understand?"

Even though Huang Ziyue had used his spiritual power to block the sound, Shen Yue still felt unnerved!

That woman was hiding there, refusing to leave...

’Who would feel comfortable being spied on?’

Saying this, Shen Yue ignored Bai Chaosi, whose eyes had turned completely red.

She turned, took Huang Ziyue by the sleeve, and prepared to walk into the house.

Bai Chaosi stood rooted to the spot, his breathing seemingly having stopped...

Not until the two had nearly gotten away did his throat tighten.

"Wait."

His voice held a stubbornness, but also a distinct, broken quality.

Shen Yue stopped in her tracks.

"Is there something else?"

Bai Chaosi’s voice was strained.

"I came here to warn you about something! About the attack at today’s banquet!"

Shen Yue looked back at him, then exchanged a glance with Huang Ziyue, waiting for Bai Chaosi to continue.

’He’s finally getting to the point.’

Perhaps for the current Bai Chaosi, only by using business, under the pretext of discussing serious matters, could he get Shen Yue to spare him even a momentary glance.

Bai Chaosi’s eyes flickered. He looked at Huang Ziyue and said,

"You’re so powerful. Have you ever considered that if that person today truly escaped by sacrificing their tail, then isn’t your spiritual power Barrier just for show?"

The moment he said this, even Shen Yue was taken aback.

Huang Ziyue raised an eyebrow slightly but didn’t speak, as if he had already known what Bai Chaosi was about to say.

It dawned on Shen Yue. ’That’s right, Huang Ziyue set up a Barrier with his spiritual power today.’

When that transparent person left behind a severed tail and fled, the spiritual power Barrier hadn’t shattered, nor had Huang Ziyue retracted it.

’So how did he escape?’

’What method did he use to pass through Huang Ziyue’s spiritual power Barrier?’

’Huang Ziyue’s spiritual power is not just for show!!’

Shen Yue looked at Huang Ziyue beside her.

"Your spiritual power Barrier—is it possible for someone to escape it without it breaking?"

She didn’t know much about the might of spiritual power.

But she knew Huang Ziyue’s strength.

Huang Ziyue looked at her, knowing she had grasped the key point.

"This is what I was about to tell you back in the room."

"Unless my spiritual power Barrier is broken through or retracted by me, no person or thing can escape!"

Shen Yue froze. ’No wonder Bai Chaosi came to warn us about this!’

’This means their investigation was heading in the wrong direction from the very beginning!’

No wonder that when she mentioned in the hallway that Wu Huo hadn’t returned yet, Huang Ziyue had told her to come back before they talked.

’So it turns out there was no so-called escape by sacrificing a tail at all.’

Just then... as Shen Yue was lost in thought...

Wu Huo, who had been investigating outside for half the day, flickered into view, finally back.

He landed in the courtyard and froze for a moment when he saw the three of them standing there.

Then, with a dejected look on his face, he dropped to one knee.

"Great Emperor Master, this subordinate has been useless!"

Obviously, he hadn’t found anything.

Wu Huo was extremely vexed. He had searched for half a day and hadn’t found so much as a single hair!

Huang Ziyue, who had known this would be the outcome, was not the least bit surprised.

"Get up."

But Wu Huo was too frustrated and felt he had lost a great deal of face.

"Great Emperor Master, this subordinate will go search again! I refuse to believe a heavily injured person could leave no traces and vanish completely!"

At this point, Shen Yue understood everything completely.

She came back to her senses and looked at Wu Huo on the ground.

"There’s no need to go again. You won’t be able to catch him."

Wu Huo heard this and asked,

"Won’t be able to catch him? Why?"

’Could it be that person is really so powerful they can run that fast even when severely injured?’

Bai Chaosi, standing to the side, looked at Shen Yue and spoke up.

"Because the person never escaped in the first place."

Wu Huo was shocked. ’Never escaped?’

’Then what was I chasing for half the day?’

’Does that mean the person was still in the main hall at the time?’

Wu Huo looked completely bewildered, glancing at Huang Ziyue and then back at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue’s expression was calm.

"That’s right. There was no so-called escape by sacrificing a tail. We were heading in the wrong direction."

After speaking, Shen Yue turned and walked toward the house.

"You two, come inside with me."

"Mr. Bai, I won’t ask you to stay. Thank you!"

Huang Ziyue’s gaze shifted, and he shot a look at Bai Chaosi before leading Wu Huo to follow Shen Yue into the house.

Bai Chaosi was left standing alone in the courtyard, his back ramrod straight.

Not until the three had closed the door did he slowly turn his head, his eyes lowered, his thoughts hidden.

The moment Shen Yue entered the room, she looked at Wu Huo.

"Later, after Bai Chaosi leaves, I want you to return to Luoxi Town overnight and investigate Xiao Ya’s background and past."

Wu Huo heard this and immediately understood that this matter was likely related to that Rabbit Clan female, Xiao Ya.

He barely even sought Huang Ziyue’s permission before cupping his fist.

"Yes, Miss Shen Yue!"

Seeing his own subordinate obey Shen Yue so readily, Huang Ziyue raised his eyebrows, a hint of pride showing in his eyes.

’Her willingness to use my people shows that she trusts me completely.’

He knew it wasn’t that Shen Yue had no one else at her disposal.

’After all, countless masters skilled in hiding their presence were lurking in the shadows, protecting her!’
