In the cold, dark prison,
Ye Chen and his mysterious master were discussing how to escape.
"This matter requires careful consideration. Gu Changge's background is terrifying, beyond imagination. Moreover, there are powerful individuals behind him. Right now, you can't confront him head-on..."
"Speaking of which, you shouldn't have been so rash."
Ye Chen's master, Yan Ji, spoke up.
Her figure was faint, with alluring red eyes, and her expression was serious. Despite being merely a wisp of a soul, she still exuded an air of unmatched beauty and grace from her past life.
"I understand, Master. I'm sorry."
Now that Ye Chen had calmed down, he felt a bit regretful. He shouldn't have taken his anger out on his beautiful master.
Fortunately, she wasn't angry and instead tried to console him, which made him feel deeply touched.
However, rashness? Ye Chen wouldn't admit to that. He had already come up with a strategy to deal with it. It was just that at a crucial moment, his master had made a mistake.
"I understand, Master. From now on, I will lie low and wait for the day when I'm stronger, then I'll have the chance to kill Gu Changge."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and swore.
He thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't want to give up.
He felt that Su Qingge wasn't acting willingly and must have had her reasons. Perhaps she was being forced by Gu Changge.
This thought made Yan Ji furrow her brows, and she sighed inwardly.
In her eyes, Ye Chen's mind was still too immature. For the sake of a woman, he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
Moreover, Gu Changge hadn't actually done anything wrong.
The Tai Xuan Sacred Land was opportunistic; how could they blame Gu Changge?
But since Ye Chen was her disciple, and it was his hard work that revived her soul, Yan Ji didn't speak these words aloud.
"There are many strong individuals imprisoned in this dungeon. Perhaps that could be our way out..."
Ye Chen thought to himself, determined not to sit idly by.
Since the Tai Xuan Sacred Land was unjust, there was no need for him to be merciful.
He was filled with resentment.
The two were having a quiet conversation, unaware that a pair of indifferent eyes were observing everything from the shadows.
Old Ming deliberately hid his presence.
Though Yan Ji had once been a powerful figure, in her current wisp of soul form, it was difficult to detect Old Ming.
"Is the opportunity you speak of related to this person?"
"A wisp of a once-powerful soul?"
Old Ming frowned.
No matter how he looked, he didn't see anything extraordinary about Ye Chen.
However, the ring in Ye Chen's hand was strange. He could faintly sense a soul fluctuation.
Moreover, the earlier mental communication indicated that Ye Chen had another powerful figure behind him.
But Gu Changge had instructed him only to observe Ye Chen and not to intervene in anything else.
So Old Ming didn't take any further action.
And in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Ye Chen's imprisonment in the dungeon seemed to have been forgotten by everyone in the Tai Xuan Sacred Land.
Gu Changge didn't bring it up.
Who would dare question him?
A mere inner disciple had offended such an existence; even if he were imprisoned for life, it would be perfectly justified.
Gu Changge was in a very good mood.
Over the past three days, every day, Old Ming reported on everything happening in the dungeon.
He had nearly figured out everything about Ye Chen and his so-called master.
The tactics were the same as before, only the players had changed.
Ye Chen had made his way through so far, mostly thanks to his extraordinary luck, but mainly due to his mysterious master.
Without his "grandfather" figure, Ye Chen was nothing.
Although Gu Changge had previously considered taking Ye Chen's ring by force, there was a high chance that his mysterious master would have erupted in a desperate attempt to protect Ye Chen, even at the risk of her soul dissipating.
And with the faint aura of luck surrounding him, that plan was very dangerous.
It had almost no chance of succeeding.
If it had gone wrong, both he and Old Ming could have ended up dead.
"Inciting discord... That's not a bad idea."
"Though, would someone like me, the villain, seem too evil?"
"No, no, I'm doing this for the Destiny Points, for my cultivation."
He justified himself in a righteous tone.
With these thoughts, Gu Changge was getting a little excited, preparing to take action.
At that moment, a guard came to report from outside the hall.
"Lord, the Holy Maiden wishes to meet with you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changge snapped back to attention. His smile faded, and his expression returned to indifference as he spoke coldly, "Let her in."
No matter what, even a big villain like him still had to maintain a bit of his prestige.
He had left Su Qingge in suspense for three days, so it was time to see her.
In his previous life, Gu Changge had been someone who had seen thousands of characters in online novels.
A smart female protagonist like Su Qingge was easy to handle, especially once he knew her weaknesses.
First, he would have to wear down her personality.
After all, he wasn't a lovesick fool who couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman.
And wasn't there a saying, "Bait the trap, then pull back"?
He would give her a glimmer of hope just when she was about to despair.
After all, in these past three days, Tai Xuan Sacred Lord had been upset and full of complaints.
As for why?
His daughter seemed to have displeased Young Master Gu.
The Tai Xuan Sacred Lord didn't dare to question Gu Changge about this.
Su Qingge was very filial and didn't want to see her father in such a state.
This was one of the soft spots Gu Changge had used to control her.
"Qingge greets Young Master Gu."
At this moment, accompanied by a melodious voice,
Su Qingge stepped into the hall, her face slightly uneasy.
She was no longer as calm as she once was.
