“The Blue Jade Pearl?” Zhou Ying cried out, astonished. His eyes widened. “How could I get something like that? That’s the treasure of our Soaring Cloud Sect! Our Sect Head safeguards it, personally. There’s only one in the world, so it’s impossible for me to have it.”

Of course I know you don’t have it, Bai Yang ridiculed in his mind. However, his face remained unreadable and mysterious. He smiled but didn’t speak.

“If you want the Blue Jade Pearl, you’ve kidnapped the wrong person,” Zhou Ying continued. “I’m just an ordinary disciple from the Soaring Cloud Sect. I’ve only met the Sect Head a few times. How could I possibly have the Blue Jade Pearl?”

Bai Yang smiled. “Just because you don’t have it, that doesn’t mean others don’t.”

“The Blue Jade Pearl really is back at the Sect,” Zhou Ying was quick to explain. He thought that Bai Yang had somehow misunderstood that he had the pearl and kidnapped him to get it, and so he was anxious to clear it up.

“I know,” Bai Yang said.

Zhou Ying was shocked. “If you know the Blue Jade Pearl is with the Sect Head, why did you kidnap me?”

“Don’t you know you’re very valuable right now?” Bai Yang said, caressing Zhou Ying’s cheek. “I believe there are people who are willing to exchange you for the pearl.”

Zhou Ying shook his head. “That’s not true. Even if I have the Dragon Blade, there’s no way the Sect Head would exchange the Blue Jade Pearl for me.”

It wasn’t just because the Blue Jade Pearl was the Sect’s treasure, but also because it represented the Soaring Cloud Sect’s honor.

Bai Yang didn’t bother explaining anything. He stood up and looked to the sky, then muttered, “It’s about time for that person to show up.”

Not long after he spoke, a light blue silhouette appeared in the distance, rushing towards them at the speed of a shooting star. It arrived at the cottage in a flash.

Zhou Ying felt even more shocked. “Zhao Qinger!”

“Correct, it’s her,” Bai Yang said. He grabbed Zhou Ying’s elbow, pulling him out of the room and throwing him roughly to the ground.

In his poisoned state, Zhou Ying was unable to move. He could do nothing about being thrown onto the ground like trash.

In the span of that short moment, Zhao Qinger appeared in front of them.

Just as Bai Yang threw Zhou Ying to the ground, Zhao Qinger cried, “Stop, now!”

Bai Yang summoned the disposition of a villainous boss. He smiled demonically, wrapping his fingers around Zhou Ying’s neck.

Zhou Ying struggled until his face was swollen and red, but his limbs remained limp and immobile. No matter how much he tried to resist, his movements were as weak as a small bug.

Zhao Qinger became enraged.

“Let go of him, now!” she screamed, pulling out her sword and pointing it at Bai Yang.

Bai Yang continued to act as the villainous boss. Not only did he hold on, but he directed a cold smile at Zhao Qinger. “Do you want me to let go of him? That’s fine! But you have to exchange him for the Blue Jade Pearl.”

Zhao Qinger stared blankly at him. After a moment, she said, “I don’t have the pearl. It’s with my father.”

Bai Yang smiled.
