At that moment, Ling Yun was utterly baffled.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Why did that woman just casually stroll out? Where’s the Sixth Lord?

“Don’t you want to go inside and check on him?” Shen Wan flashed a smile, and this mushroom-haired kid looked somewhat familiar…

Ling Yun’s expression froze, snapping back to reality, and he rushed inside.

Wait… something’s not right!

Just as he dashed a few steps, Ling Yun hit the brakes abruptly. He hadn’t even figured out who that woman was. Even if he was concerned about Quan Banting, he should have captured her first! But as he realized this and was about to turn back to catch her, there was no trace of her.

In that instant, Ling Yun’s mind was flooded with details he had previously overlooked. He couldn’t ignore the woman’s torn clothing, messy hair, and unnaturally pale complexion any longer. Ling Yun clenched his teeth, realizing that he had walked right into a trap.

Recalling the woman’s expression once more, she was smiling, but her eyes were like a taut bowstring, ready to snap at any moment. That was a look that only appeared in situations of extreme tension and panic.

“Damn it!” He cursed softly, abandoning the idea of chasing the woman, and quickly headed inside. The top priority was ensuring Quan Banting’s safety!

Forty seconds later, Ling Yun widened his eyes, looking at the man peacefully asleep on the rosewood bed, and he was once again dumbfounded.

On the bed, his master still lay sound asleep, his face marked with scratches, and bloodstains adorned his neck.

The crucial part was, even with all the noise he made rushing in, the man hadn’t woken up?!

Quan Banting was in a light slumber, and both Ling Yun and Chu Yujiang, who had been with him for a long time, knew his sleep habits well. These habits included trouble falling asleep, restless sleep, and the fact that even when extremely tired, the slightest disruption could wake him up.

But now…

Ling Yun carefully checked his vital signs, from his breathing to his pulse. His actions were swift, and the results indicated that there was indeed no problem at all, he was just asleep.

Early morning, 6:15.

Despite it being summer with long daylight hours and short nights, the scene inside the “underground palace” was one of perpetual artificial illumination. This unique space, designed with the flow of hot springs in mind, lacked windows and featured only two doors for access.

With water and doors, there inevitably comes a breeze. In the present moment, the diaphanous canopy encircling the intricately carved rosewood bed swayed gently, while the person within remained in serene slumber. The interplay of his movements and stillness created a captivating sight.

Hu Zhibei was left speechless at the sight, while Ling Yun fully accepted this abnormality and appeared even calmer than him.

“Did a woman really come out from here?” Hu Zhibei confirmed for the nth time.

“Yes.”

“Oh my god! This is too bizarre…”

Quan Banting had a particularly sweet slumber, and he couldn’t remember the last time he had slept so soundly. The next moment, his breath caught, his whole body stiffened. That woman…

“The Sixth Lord is awake!” Ling Yun suddenly exclaimed, and Hu Zhibei immediately surrounded him.

“Sixth Brother, how are you feeling?”

Quan Banting sat up, leaning against the head of the bed. His calm gaze concealed depths that were hard to discern, and he looked down, seeming somewhat reluctant to meet their eyes.

Thinking back to the moment the woman intruded, the instant their eyes met, those innocent, slightly anxious eyes almost immediately made him think of a certain long-eared, fluffy creature. However, what happened next undeniably overturned his initial judgment.

Suddenly, the man’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. There was a hint of wickedness in his expression. “So, it’s not a little white rabbit after all…”

Little white rabbits weren’t this audacious, nor would they act so recklessly.

It was more like a small wildcat that knew how to use its claws!
