Chapter 683 Wu You

"Let him go." Bai Yuer said lightly.
Seeing that Guo Changge was hesitating, she continued, "Although the Jade Cicada Finger cannot make a person die in half an hour, the No Worries Finger can. So you can rest assured that he won't be able to leave even if we let him go now."
"Worry-free means..." muttered Shangguan Chen, "Worry-free, worry-free, only the dead can truly be worry-free."
Guo Changge lifted the hand pressing on his head, and then slowly moved the foot stepping on his back.
“Have you heard of this finger technique?” Bai Yuer asked.
“I have heard of it,” Shangguan Chen said honestly while lying on the ground, “but I have only heard of it. Senior should know that the goal of our family is to obtain all the miraculous techniques mastered by seniors.”
“Is what you are doing today also to achieve this goal?”
“I have never seen you before, but I have been hearing about you from my grandfather since I was very young. I guess my father was also very young at the time.”
"What are you trying to express?"
"My grandfather, and his... friends, every one of them is unmatched in martial arts in today's martial world. If they join hands, there is simply no one who can resist, but..."
“But they never openly joined forces to deal with me, not once in all these years.”
“Hmm, I thought it was because the organization didn't know your whereabouts, but later I found out it wasn't the case.”
白钰儿看向郭长歌，“长歌，你觉得这是为什么？”
郭长歌道：“那自是因为不想打草惊蛇，虽然要经历漫长的等待，但一切都是为了让更精密细致，甚至说万无一失的计划顺利进行。”
"No... " Shangguan Chen suddenly whispered.
"Their so-called plan is just to put their hope on others, first on Guo Yunlang, and then on you." Bai Yuer said to Guo Changge, "They did indeed go through a long wait, but do you really think this can be called a foolproof plan?"
Guo Changge said, "At least this way, you won't be too on guard."
Bai Yuer smiled, "You're underestimating them again. I've always known about their existence and have been on guard against them. They don't think I'm a fool, so they definitely know what I'm thinking. Over the years, I've been avoiding them, but I've gradually discovered that it seems like they're also avoiding me."
Guo Changge frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Indeed, their goal is to obtain the techniques you know, the seven seniors. For so many years, they have pinned their hopes on the Illusionary Heart Technique, only acting behind the scenes, never attempting to contact you proactively... Or is it that they understand you well enough to determine that this is the only feasible method... After all, you yourself have said that your character has always been to 'prefer jade broken rather than tile complete'..."
He spoke with his gaze cast down, lost in thought, murmuring, "But even so, as the more powerful force, a little negotiation would do no harm. Even if a better solution cannot be found, there would be no loss. If it were me, I definitely couldn't be patient like that. Or perhaps, there is simply no possibility of negotiation here, because after achieving their goal, they still want to avenge Li Rentang..."
"No," Bai Yuer shook her head slowly, "They don't care about Li Rentang."
Guo Changge looked at her and listened as she continued, "They don't really understand me either, they are just - afraid of me."
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Chen on the ground sighed lightly and said, "Senior is right. About seven years ago, I asked my grandfather why he had never directly contacted you, which is unlike his character..."
Guo Changge asked curiously, "What did your grandfather say?"
Shangguan Chen said, "My grandfather didn't say anything. He just suddenly got angry, but in his eyes, I saw fear, an undisguised fear."
Guo Changge was a little puzzled, "But why?"
Shangguan Chen said, "I also want to know why, so today I disregarded the advice of the elders and violated the iron law of our organization, coming alone to contact the predecessors."
Guo Changge said, "Iron law?"
Shangguan Chen said, "Anyone who privately approaches their seniors within the organization will lose the trust of the organization, like Chunyu Qian, who was excluded."
By Yuer Bai: "Is this the price you want to pay just to test my martial arts skills, to see if I can really make your grandfather and his friends so afraid?"
By Chen Shangguan: "I just want to unravel the mystery that has been bothering me all the time."
White Yu'er said, "We have already fought each other, what do you think?"
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Chen said, "Senior's martial arts are truly unparalleled in the world, but I still find it hard to imagine, if all the experts in our organization join forces..."
Bai Yuer smiled and interrupted him, saying, "There's no need for all of them. Just a few will probably be more than enough for me."
Shangguan Chen asked, "So what exactly is the reason... Could the senior please give me some pointers?"
White Yuer laughed, "To be honest, many years ago I was also troubled by this question. At first, I didn't even realize that they were avoiding me."
Shangguan Chen said, "But now you understand it all?"
Byue Yuer nodded.
Shangguan Chen said earnestly, "Please...please tell me, senior."
The smile on Bai Yuer's face suddenly disappeared, and her eyes became sharp, "Where is Cheng Le?"
Just then, Wen Qing arrived panting. She first searched the house where they were before, and then guessed that Guo Changge and Bai Yuer had probably come here, so she hurried over.
She looked at the person lying on the ground, roughly inferred the current situation, and glared at him angrily.
Shangguan Chen said, "He is very safe."
Bai Yuer said, "Of course he is very safe, otherwise how dare you come to challenge me?"
Shang Guan Chen said, "He is indeed my only insurance, keeping me from certain death."
Bai Yu'er smirked, "It seems that now you have to make a choice. Are you going to use him to save your life, or are you going to unravel the mystery that has been plaguing you?"
Guo Changge sneered, "What kind of choice is this, of course he..."
"The most dangerous place is also the safest place," Shangguan Chen interrupted Guo Changge, "He is right above, just go out from the broken roof before."
Guo Changge was stunned, and Wen Qing asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
Guo Changge finally came back to his senses and said, "Follow me."
He took Wen Qing upstairs and when he came back after a while, he was carrying the unconscious Cheng Le on his back. Wen Qing closely followed, her eyes a little red. She was really worried, and now she was so relieved. She looked at her lover beside her, inspecting him from head to toe to check if he had suffered any injuries, and suddenly she noticed that Cheng Le was holding a white mass in his hand...
During their up and down journey, Bai Yuer has explained to Shangguan Chen the reason why Li Rentang's disciples fear her. It is a very simple reason that can be explained in such a short time; but it is also a very complicated reason, which adds a few more difficult-to-remove confusion to Shangguan Chen's stunned expression as he lay on the ground.
By the whiteness of her hand, Bai Yuer seemed harmless but it was a deadly weapon.
Guo Changge hurried, "Senior QI, we can use him as a bargaining chip..."
Bai Yuer interrupted him, "Didn't you hear what he said just now... he contacted me privately, so he has been expelled from their organization. No one will care about him anymore."
Guo Changge said, "But..."
Bai Yuer asked, "But what?"
Guo Changge put Cheng Leping on the floor, stood up and said, "Let's use the Illusion Heart Art to deal with him. Maybe we can find out something through him."
白钰儿笑道：“你以为他们的组织为何派一个后辈来见你？”
郭长歌道：“如果他真的这么无足轻重……而且成乐也没事，不如就放了他吧。”
Originally calm, Shangguan Chen felt a surge of fear at these words, his body starting to tremble uncontrollably.
In the silence, the trembling abruptly stopped.
Bai Yuer put down her hand, the hand that had killed, and said lightly, "This is his own choice."
