Among the five people, Li Zhu was the first one to lose his cool. He glanced at Xue Danrong several times and then attempted to look through Li Yiye to see Fang Chaozhou, who was behind him. Naturally, he couldn’t see Fang Chaozhou. So after he held back for a moment, he couldn’t bear it and asked Li Yiye: “Dad, who is that person behind you?”
With the real brand Xue Danrong here, he naturally discovered how strange Fang Chaozhou’s band of “Xue Danrong” was.
Before Li Yiye started to speak, he felt the clothes behind him being grabbed.
It was that young guy behind him.
For him, Fang Chaozhou’s age indeed counted as that of a young guy’s.
Fang Chaohzou firmly grasped the clothes behind Li Yiye. Afraid of the other party telling, he even wrote on Li Yiye’s back. He wrote——
“Explain it a little kindly.”
He even acted as a tool man for Li Yiye, so Li Yiye shouldn’t sell out his identity, yes?
Only, he didn’t know that Li Yiye was a very sensitive person. From the first stroke Fang Chaozhou drew, Li Yiye’s brows wrinkled up. His look afterward was weirder and weirder. When Fang Chaozhou finished writing the last stroke, he was truly at his last straw. He turned around and grabbed Fang Chaozhou’s hand. “Enough, don’t be in a hurry to flirt for now.”
Right now, Li Yiye already thought that Fang Chaozhou was a very indecent person. Regular cultivators, when humiliated in front of everybody, would be ashamed and have difficulty tolerating it. They most likely would also hate his bones. Not only was this young guy not a little bit ashamed, but he also didn’t hate him. Besides taking the initiative to hide behind him, he even tempted him in front of this many people.
Really fucking coquettish.
Fang Chaozhou: ???
The other three didn’t see what Fang Chaozhou specifically had done, but when they heard what Li Yiye said, their complexions were all different instantly.
When Li Zhu heard this, he recalled that he had snatched the person over from his dad’s leg. At once, he believed that his dad found a substitute, making him mistakenly think that it was Xue Danrong. Only because of this did he make this big of an unexpected mistake.
“Dad, what about that cultivator you captured? Where is he?” So far, Li Zhu still didn’t know Fang Chaozhou’s identity. “I showed up now, you should release him.”
When Li Yiye heard that, he had malice in his eyes. “Ah yes, you already returned, I should release him right now.”
Meanwhile, Li Yiye’s other words sounded in Fang Chaozhou’s mind.
“Do you think I should release you right now or not?”
Should release, but not right now.
Fang Chaozhou immediately shook his head.
But Li Yiye still showed an ambiguous smile, and soon after pushed Fang Chaozhou to Li Zhu.
Li Zhu suddenly received a salted fish and blanked at first. Soon after, he was a little angry and thought his dad was deliberately ridiculing him, mocking him for recognizing the wrong person just now. “What are you giving him to me for?” Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Xue Donrong to the side. Seeing Xue Danrong’s brows locked uptight, he immediately didn’t want Xue Danrong to misunderstand again, so he pushed Fang Chaozhou out again.
Fang Chaozhou was pushed to the middle. Before he could stand steadily, a hand suddenly grasped his arm firmly, pulling him over. It was Xue Danrong.
Xue Danrong was very close to him at this time, so close he could see a miniature version of himself in the other’s eyes. Those pair of phoenix eyes stared at him unblinkingly, eyes completely investigative.
He stared until Fang Chaozhou’s scalp went numb. When Fang Chaozhou prepared to abandon himself in despair and admit he was Fang Chaozhou, Li Yiye, who was to the side, started to speak again.
“Why is little friend Xue grabbing my little pet and not letting go? Could it be that little friend Xue is looking for your guy’s similarity points?”
Xue Danrong turned to look at Li Yiye next to him, “How much?”
Eh?
Fang Chaozhou didn’t understand what Xue Danrong meant by this.
But the other people there all understood.
Song Lianyi smiled softly, “Could it be that when Cultivator Xue saw that he had the same face as you, you wanted to buy him and kill him to maintain your reputation?”
Xue Danrong didn’t respond to what Song Lianyi said and only looked at Li Yiye.
Before Li Yiye opened his mouth, Song Lianyi started to talk again. “If Sect Master Li is willing to forsake him, my Fengyue An also wants to ask how much he is.”
This was somewhat different from what Xue Danrong said. Xue Danrong’s bid was a personal bid, while Song Lianyi brought out Fengyue An. Li Yiye naturally knew the large disparity between them.
And when Fang Chaozhou heard that Song Lianyi wanted to buy him, Song Lianyi’s countless methods of torturing people in the original work instantly flashed through his mind. No, he couldn’t leave with Song Lianyi no matter what.
At once, Fang Chaozhou decided he didn’t want face anymore and hugged the Youngest Shidi in front of him. In this short while, it was like he poked multiple hornet nests.
Li Zhu’s long whip instantly rolled around Fang Chaozhou’s waist, wanting to pull the person out. He couldn’t kill him because he thought this was his dad’s little pet, but he also couldn’t let him hug his darling Danrong like this. Li Yiye was a lot more direct. He carried out a magic that pressed straight towards Fang Chaozhou. Xue Danrong originally wanted to push away the person in his embrace, but when he saw that Li Yiye made a move, he immediately used the Breaking Water sword to block it.
The small boat was only so big and couldn’t withstand this kind of magic at all. With only this one time, the small boat produced the sound of breaking into small pieces. “Snap.”
The small boat was about to be worn out.
Xue Danrong wanted to pull Fang Chaozhou out, but Li Zhu’s long whip was still wrapped around Fang Chaozhou’s waist. He wanted to use magic to undo the long whip, but Li Yiye’s magic smashed over here again.
The three people fought with magic more and more fiercely. The small boat sounded a “bang” and immediately burst open. When they were each floating in midair, Fang Chaozhou disappeared. In addition to this, Song Lianyi, who was watching the fight silently from the start, also disappeared.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the pibo wrapped around his waist, the big pervert who was very close to him, and then down at the ground, which he practically couldn’t see. His cultivation was still limited right now. If he wanted to struggle now, and Song Lianyi lets go, he might fall and become a meat patty.
[T/N: “Pibo” is a clothing item.]
In the presence of life, being kidnapped was whatever.
Hence, Fang Chaozhou acted as a captive, knowing his place.
Song Lianyi appeared to be somewhat surprised at Fang Chaozhou’s quietness. He inclined his head to look at him several times but didn’t say anything. When they finally reached the ground, Fang Chaozhou looked at his surroundings and discovered that this place was a little familiar-looking. It seemed like he had already been here before.
“Does it look familiar?” Someone asked him.
Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but nod.
“It’s correct if it’s familiar. This is the Gilded Cave. You’ve been here before?” That person asked him again.
Fang Chaozhou nodded again.
That person’s voice carried a smile, “It’s really you, Fang Chaozhou.”
Fang Chaozhou suddenly froze. He looked at the person that was speaking, eyes showing he was completely unable to comprehend.
How did Song Lianyi recognize him?
Wait, Song Lianyi said this was the Gilded Cave?
The Gilded Cave, Song Lianyi…
Fang Chaozhou’s eyes instantly widened some. Miss Yiyi from before shouldn’t be this Song Lianyi, right? Was he done for now?
“Have you figured it out? You’re not that stupid, but also not that smart.” Song Lianyi used some strength to pull the pibo on Fang Chaozhou’s waist and then walked forward. Fang Chaozhou was forced to go forward, and they went to what seemed to be the back of the Gilded Cave’s building. Compared to the front of the building, it was actually very quiet here.
Along the way, Fang Chaozhou almost could only hear his and Song Lianyi’s footsteps.
Song Lianyi stopped his footsteps in front of a room. He turned his head to look at Fang Chaozhou and hooked his lips. “Push open the door and then go in.”
Fang Chaozhou, who could get lenient treatment with obedience, stepped forward, opened the door, and stepped in. However, as soon as he stepped into it, he withdrew his foot again.
“Why are you not going in?” Song Lianyi ‘s voice was very close to him as if he was sticking to his ear and talking. But in reality, Song Lianyi was two people away from him.
There were many odd things in this room. Fang Chaozhou only took a hurried glance and saw manacles, leg-irons, whips, candles… This somewhat seemed like that nice surprise room Song Lianyi prepared for Xue Danrong in the original work.
Only, Xue Danron never got the opportunity to see this nice surprise gift because Song Lianyi never tied the person up every time he drugged him.
But what did this nice surprise room have to do with him?
The salted fish panicked.
It was probably the obvious alarm on Fang Chaozhou’s face that pleased Song Lianyi. The big pervert laughed in a low voice and then continued to use a girl’s voice to say: “Last time, you had me read aloud a huaben in the middle of the night. This time, I also want to hear your voice, a voice produced because of suffering.”
Right at this moment, Fang Chaozhou finally undid the speech forbiddance technique. He hurriedly said: “Sounds of suffering? How much suffering do you want? I will shout for you right now.”
When he said that, he pinched himself again and again. Then, Song Lianyi heard a sound like a pig dying.
Song Lianyi: …
The space between Song Lianyi’s eyebrows twitched. His tone had a little angry teeth grinding. “Don’t do these kinds of weird things with Xue Danrong’s face.”
Fang Chaozhou suddenly held his tongue and thought. He leaned against the door next to him and made the emotion in his eyes blurred.
“Ah…hurts…so painful…wu wu wu…don’t…stop…”
He was also artificially yelling and even lifted both his hands, sticking them on the door, making a facade of someone binding his hands.
“…Ah…ah ah…ah ah ah…ah ah ah ah…Lianyi, too…painful…ah…”
“Bang——”
A loud noise interrupted Fang Chaozhou’s performance.
Song Lianyi’s magic immediately crumbled a piece of the door next to Fang Chaozhou. His complexion was completely blackened. “If you dare ah one more time, I will kill you.”
Fang Chaozhou showed an innocent smile. He blinked and very carefully said: “You don’t like ah? Then how about I change it to ya?”
After he finished speaking, he prepared a “ya”. But when he opened his mouth, Fang Chaozhou discovered that once again, a speech forbiddance technique was cast on him. Song Lianyi’s face, which belonged to the lucid and elegant face of a young lady, was full of malice right now. His tone was ice-cold and even showed a murderous spirit. “You aren’t allowed to say even one word, if you dare to produce a sound, I will kill you tonight!”
Fang Chaozhou immediately pursed his lips and nodded silently, indicating he understood.
Song Lianyi narrowed his eyes, suddenly turned around, and walked away. But when he only walked a few steps, he couldn’t bear it and covered his ears. He cursed angrily: “Fuck! There are even echoes in my head!”
Song Lianyi, who had pretended to be a girl for many years, said a profanity for the first time in his life.
