Chapter 2259: Yan Family Member

While dealing with Madam Bian, Gu Zhiqi still had the leisure to glance over at Tang Yichen; she stared at him for a few seconds before retracting her gaze.

For some reason, because of that one look from Gu Zhiqi, a faint sense of foreboding rose in Tang Yichen’s heart.

However, very soon, Tang Yichen suppressed the unease in his heart and joined the fight.

Not only had Gu Zhiqi come, Su Yunling was here as well. With the two of them joining in, those people on the other side were nothing to fear at all; the fight had barely started for two minutes before it was over.

Gu Zhiqi sealed the Vital Energy of several burly men, tapped a few acupoints, and stacked them one on top of another beside the firewood. The pile was already as tall as the firewood stack in the yard.

Seeing this, Tang Yichen couldn’t help wondering if Gu Zhiqi planned to treat them like firewood and burn them in one go.

However, Gu Zhiqi did not burn anyone.

After piling those men up in the yard, Gu Zhiqi walked toward that Mystic Master.

Originally, the Mystic Master had planned to run as soon as he saw that things were going south, but Su Yunling caught him, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him back.

Right now, he was pleading nonstop with Su Yunling, "Master, I was really wrong, I was just taking money to do a job, please spare me... ow!"

Before he could finish begging for mercy, Su Yunling threw him to the ground, and the Mystic Master cried out in pain.

Lying on the ground, he rubbed his butt, then looked up at Su Yunling, intending to plead again, only to realize another person had appeared in front of him. "Name?"

Hearing this, the Mystic Master’s eyes rolled quickly, and then he said to Gu Zhiqi, "My name is Immortal Wang."

Gu Zhiqi: "Real name."

"That is my real—" Before he could finish the sentence, the Mystic Master suddenly felt a streak of cold against his neck. He lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at what was pressed against his neck. He drew in a sharp breath and reported his real name to Gu Zhiqi, "Yan Zhong! My name is Yan Zhong!"

As soon as Yan Zhong spoke, Gu Zhiqi’s expression changed slightly. Her grip on the sword tightened. "You’re from the Yan Family of White Star First City?"

Hearing this, Yan Zhong immediately nodded. Thinking of something, he said to Gu Zhiqi, "I’m a man of the Yan Family’s direct lineage. If you dare lay a hand on me... hiss~"

Before Yan Zhong could finish, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he instantly shut up, not daring to say another word.

He had thought that since this person knew of the Yan Family, she wouldn’t dare act rashly; who would have thought he’d miscalculated.

Yan Zhong could only clamp his mouth shut.

Gu Zhiqi: "What were you planning to do to those women?"

Although the Formation Diagram on the ground wasn’t fully drawn yet, Gu Zhiqi could already guess what kind of Formation it was.

Still, she wanted to confirm it.

After all, he was from the Yan Family.

Hearing this, Yan Zhong immediately said to Gu Zhiqi, "N-nothing, I really wasn’t doing anything. I was just drawing a Formation Diagram to superduce Young Master Bian of the Bian Family."

This girl couldn’t read Formation Diagrams, and Madam Bian probably wouldn’t spill the truth either. As long as he stuck to his story, this would only be a simple, straightforward superducing ritual.

As soon as Yan Zhong finished speaking, Tang Yichen spoke up. "Nonsense. I clearly heard you all say earlier that you were going to send these women down to accompany Bian Xingyuan."

Yan Zhong: "..."

Hearing Tang Yichen’s words, Yan Zhong suddenly lifted his eyes to glare at Tang Yichen, the depths of his gaze tinged with gloom.

Seeing this, Tang Yichen immediately said to Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Xiaoxi, look, he’s glaring at me."

Yan Zhong: "..."

He really wanted to hit someone.

Of course, the urge to hit someone completely vanished the moment he felt the pain in his neck. "Auntie, spare my life, I really didn’t, I was just drawing a plain and simple superducing array diagram, truly."
