"My lord!"

Turning around, Jiao Yang entered an adjacent room, bowing and greeting.

A figure stood with its back to Jiao Yang, hands clasped behind, calmly looking at a Copper Mirror in front, merely waving a hand without replying.

Following the gaze of the figure, one sees in the Copper Mirror the scene of Wang Junze in the room with Ji Liuyun, not only just the image, but even the voices are clearly present.

And standing in front of the Copper Mirror was none other than Dugu Feng, who was supposedly in seclusion!

"My lord suspects he might abduct Ji Liuyun? But, not even Ji Liuyun knows the location of the Li Shang Sword Venerable Mansion."

Standing behind Dugu Feng, Jiao Yang asked somewhat puzzled.

"We shall see." Without explanation, Dugu Feng answered indifferently.

...

Meanwhile, Wang Junze was deep in thought, countless ideas flashing through his mind.

Kidnapping Ji Liuyun was utterly impossible; it held no meaning whatsoever.

But even so, if not taking the person away, how should he treat Ji Liuyun?

The most crucial part was that Wang Junze knew very well he didn't have much time to ponder; if this was truly a trap, then the other party would definitely be watching his every move. Any hesitation at this moment could lead to disaster.

At such a time, Wang Junze could only trust his instincts.

Leisurely standing up, Wang Junze lazily stretched before walking towards Ji Liuyun.

With a brilliant smile on his face, Wang Junze slightly raised his hand, pinching Ji Liuyun's cheek and softly said, "I've heard that the female disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect are each more beautiful than the last. I wonder, between Miss Ji and the legendary Saintess Xuan Yue, who is more beautiful?"

"Bah!"

A mouthful of spit directly landed on Wang Junze's face, and Ji Liuyun looked at him with disgust, cursing, "What are you? Daring to speak of our sect's Saintess! Beast, if you have the guts, kill me."

"Smack!"

With a swift hand, Wang Junze slapped Ji Liuyun across the face, knocking her to the ground.

With a hint of wickedness on his face, Wang Junze slowly continued, "Kill you? That would be too easy for you!"

Speaking, Wang Junze leaned down, gently caressing Ji Liuyun's face, smiling, "How could I bear to kill a pretty woman like you? If you're sensible, you might suffer less; otherwise... I assure you, every day of your remaining life will be lived in pain."

"Beast!"

With a clear slap mark on her face, Ji Liuyun glared at Wang Junze full of hatred, as if she wanted to devour him.

"You just heard it too; be sensible, agree to Lord Dugu's request, sign the contract, that way you'll suffer less, and I will gain the lord's reward, beneficial for both you and me!"

Grabbing Ji Liuyun up, Wang Junze gently lifted her chin with the other hand, leisurely spoke again.

"In your dreams!"

"Peng Ru is your disciple, right?"

Squinting slightly, Wang Junze laughed lightly, "Initially, she was just as stubborn as you, but now... you can't imagine how obedient she is."

"Beast, what did you do to Ru'er?"

Mentioning Peng Ru, Ji Liuyun's emotions became visibly agitated, staring intently at Wang Junze and questioning.

"Nothing much! As I said, I'm very gentle to pretty women like you." Laughing, Wang Junze softly said, "Oh, and your disciple is still a virgin, quite nice, I just wonder... have you been touched by other men?"

Speaking, Wang Junze's hand suddenly exerted force, and with a tearing sound, Ji Liuyun's outer clothing was ripped apart by Wang Junze.

"Miss Ji, my patience is limited... won't you really consider agreeing to Lord Dugu's terms?"

Hand reaching into the intimate clothing, his large hand roamed over Ji Liuyun's silky body, yet Wang Junze still asked with a cheerful smile.

"Beast!"

Without any means to resist, Ji Liuyun simply closed her eyes, though tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks, yet even so, she still had no intention of yielding.

Seeing Ji Liuyun in this state, Wang Junze felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Not to mention, Ji Liuyun was a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, even facing a stranger, Wang Junze's character wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.

However, he was acutely aware that all of this was definitely Dugu Feng's test for him.

Any show of pity or sympathy toward Ji Liuyun would inevitably lead to the other's suspicion, and then not only would it be impossible to save her, but he might also reveal his identity and die here together.

...

"Seems I guessed wrong!"

Watching the scene in the Copper Mirror, Dugu Feng slightly shook her head, giving a light command, "Alright, you can go over now, Ji Liuyun is still of use, don't push her too hard, make him stop."

"Yes!"

Bowing in response, Jiao Yang couldn't resist a light inquiry, "Does my lord suspect he has connections with the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

"I have had people investigate, the Profound Moon Sword Sect has a new Sword Path Genius named Wang Junze, who left the Northern Domain not long ago, exactly around the time this Ye Piaoling arrived at the Nether Sea." Dugu Feng replied indifferently, "Now it seems, it should just be a coincidence."

"My lord overthinks, this Ye Piaoling character is inherently sinister, ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving his goals, even daring to collude with the Demon Race... such a person, anyway, is unlikely to be a disciple of those Renowned and Righteous Sects."

Jiao Yang echoed in agreement.

"Being cautious is never a bad thing."

Shaking her head, Dugu Feng spoke indifferently, "Alright, you better hurry; do not let him truly harm Ji Liuyun's body, do not completely extinguish her hope, otherwise... if she becomes suicidal, things will get even more complicated."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Jiao Yang then quickly left the room.

Moments later, Jiao Yang stepped into the room where Wang Junze was, seeing Wang Junze holding Ji Liuyun in his arms, his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Previously at the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building, Wang Junze only drank but did not leave with anyone, which surprised him a bit. Now it seemed, it wasn't that the other was not lecherous, just that he didn't fancy those vulgar women of the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building.

"Haha, Brother Ye, am I interrupting you?"

"What do you think?"

Turning his head, Wang Junze looked somewhat displeased, coldly retorting.

Laughing as he walked over, Jiao Yang spoke again, "Haha, forgive me, Brother Ye, it wasn't intentional to interrupt your good moment, but suddenly remembered, my lord instructed that her body must not be harmed."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Wang Junze's face, turning unkindly towards Jiao Yang to question, "Mr. Jiao Yang, are you playing me?"
