Freed from their bonds, the survivors immediately asked Luo Qingtong to accept them as her disciples, realizing their only hope for escape and survival lay with her. Luo Qingtong agreed, seeing them as potentially useful assets. She outlined a plan requiring their strict cooperation, warning that failure would mean their demise while she could escape alone. As Bai Jintang appeared, Luo Qingtong and her new followers resumed their positions, feigning continued captivity.

With a look of contentment, Bai Jintang materialized within the darkened chamber.

His gaze meticulously surveyed the scene unfolding before him.

Abruptly, his attention became fixated upon Luo Qingtong and Su Yu.

"Hmph!"

He let out a derisive snort as he looked at the pair, their eyes shut tight, and with a swift motion, splashed a bucket of water upon their faces.

"Master!"

Su Yu’s heart convulsed with dread, yet fearing he might disrupt Luo Qingtong’s intricate scheme, he could only clench his jaw and suppress the outcry.

Internally, however, his mind conjured a thousand agonizing deaths for Bai Jintang.

This wretch dared to treat the Master in such a manner!

To Su Yu, this insult was far more infuriating than any personal torment he endured.

The redness within Luo Qingtong’s eyes spun with rapid intensity.

She feigned a groggy reawakening, dabbing the water from her visage with a hand, while inwardly, a cold amusement bloomed: This Young Master of the Bai Family is truly courting his demise!

What fate awaits him?

She mused that the end she had previously conceived for him seemed utterly inadequate for the sheer depth of his idiocy!

Both Su Yu and Luo Qingtong put on an act of awakening, groggily stirring, while the individuals they had rescued mimicked being startled by the sound of the splashing water.

One man rattled his chains, appealing to Bai Jintang with feigned terror, "Young Master, I implore you, spare my life! I will do anything! Please, cease this torment!"

As he spoke, he collapsed onto the floor, dissolving into tears.

The others followed suit, acting terrified and repeatedly pleading with Bai Jintang for clemency.

Since they had only just been apprehended and Bai Jintang had not yet subjected them to physical harm, merely confined them and forced them to witness the suffering of others, their cries did not arouse his suspicion.

Luo Qingtong, upon appearing to awaken and witnessing such a spectacle, seemed to spring back in alarm, then clutched Su Yu and recoiled, her voice sharp and trembling, "You!"

"Bai Jintang, why have you brought us to this place?"

"I warn you, I am not to be trifled with! If you possess any sense, you will release me at once! Otherwise, you shall face dire consequences!"

While speaking, Luo Qingtong silently commended her own acting prowess.

It had been an considerable time since she had embodied such a character, outwardly assertive yet inwardly timid.

She had genuinely feared her ability to convincingly portray that fragile timidity would falter and betray her true composure!

Yet, the fact that her skills, honed through countless prior pursuits requiring rapid disguise, remained sharp was a testament to their endurance!

Su Yu chimed in, echoing her sentiment, "Indeed, Bai Jintang, do you have any inkling of her true identity? Knowing it would shock you to your core! You would be wise to release us immediately!"

Su Yu’s performance, admittedly, was somewhat lacking.

However, fueled by his potent inner fury, and given that the majority of his words held a grain of truth, Bai Jintang remained oblivious to any pretense!

"Hmph!"

Bai Jintang cast a cold, disdainful sneer at both of them. "I have no need to ascertain her identity!"

"All that concerns me is that from this moment forth, she faces a single, inevitable outcome: death. And that suffices!"

"As for you, wench!" Bai Jintang ground his teeth, fixing his gaze upon Su Yu. "It is no wonder you so readily threw yourself into his embrace!"

"Was it the backing he possessed that you sought?"

"But alas, from this day forward, neither of you shall depart this place alive!"

The sensation of holding their lives captive within his grasp filled Bai Jintang with an immense sense of triumph.

To further amplify the humiliation of Luo Qingtong and Su Yu, he gestured, releasing the group of individuals who had been fervently pleading with him.

"Come forth and attend to me," he commanded those individuals.

"
