Chapter 23 Trapped

The whole room was completely plunged into darkness. Bai Zhiqian clenched her sword tightly and was always alert to her surroundings, but at this moment the whole room became eerily silent.

She didn't make a sound, and observed with bated breath, but suddenly she felt a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind, and she immediately slashed with her sword.

"Miss Bai, don't do anything, it's me!"

Her wrist was held tightly, and Lei Lingyin's voice came from in front of her.

"What do you want to do when you suddenly approach me? And... what on earth is going on?"

Lei Lingyin replied anxiously, "The situation looks bad. They have completely taken control of the main control room and have completely locked us in this room. Bai Ningshuang, are you sure you still want to be hostile to me at this time?"

"So I'm trapped on this ship?" Bai Zhiqian frowned and said angrily, "It's a shame that you keep bragging about the power of this spiritual ship, so it was taken over so easily."

"Is it useful for you to say this now?" Lei Lingyin retorted, "Do you think I am willing to do this? Do you know how important this spirit boat is to me and the Lei family?"

Bai Zhiqian was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, and carefully searched the room in the dark, hoping to find a way out, but she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, Lei Lingyin, have you seen Little Crescent Moon? Why isn't she here?"

Lei Lingyin thought for a while and replied, "You still care about others at this time. She probably left with Ling Yue during the chaos just now. Stop thinking nonsense. They are biological sisters."

"I even think that she and Ling Yue are in the same group. The two sisters disguised themselves together to deceive us. Otherwise, how could it be possible..."

"Shut up!" Of course Bai Zhiqian didn't believe it and quickly interrupted him, "It's clearly your own greed for beauty that allowed Ling Yue to take control of the spirit boat so easily. Now you have the nerve to blame a little girl."

Lei Lingyin's face suddenly turned ugly. He lowered his head for a long time before sighing. "I was too careless. I didn't expect that the shadow would have been targeting the spirit boat for a long time. Now I just hope that the Lei family can find something wrong soon and hurry up."

Bring someone to rescue us, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"The Shadow may want more than one spiritual boat, and this ship can easily be converted into a war weapon. Their target is probably Ye Qiucheng!"

Bai Zhiqian didn't care about that, but waiting passively was not her habit. She walked to the door in the dark, and slowly poured her spiritual power into the sword, trying to open the door directly.

But before she could take action, Lei Lingyin forcibly stopped her, "Bai Ningshuang, I know your swordsmanship is extraordinary, but you must not do this. The entire spirit boat is almost made of the strongest materials. It is not something you can hack."

It is open, and attacking rashly may trigger the automatic defense of the spirit boat."

"This broken ship!" Bai Zhiqian gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Lei Lingyin, are you kidding me? If you sue me, I won't believe you didn't think of a way out!"

Lei Lingyin said solemnly, "It's now like this, does it make sense for me to tease you? As for the way out, I really don't have a way out. Once the door is locked, only the main control room can open it. The only thing we can do now is to wait.

.”

After saying that, he actually sat down on the ground, squinting his eyes and looking very leisurely, without any trace of panic.

Bai Zhiqian was greatly puzzled. He should be more anxious at this time. Once the Lei family knew that he had lost the spirit boat, they would definitely give him the harshest punishment, and he might even lose everything he has now.

"What the hell is this guy thinking?"

She suddenly felt a little regretful in her heart. She should have listened to Yi Yao and not rushed into this muddy water. At least she should have brought the rabbit with her when she came, otherwise she would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

[Rabbit, where are you now! Will you find out that I am in crisis?]

She frowned, with a worried look on her face, and absentmindedly circled around Lei Lingyin.

"Miss Bai, you've disturbed my rest. If you don't have anything to do, just stand farther away."

After hearing this, Bai Zhiqian simply moved closer to Lei Lingyin and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

She sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. There was really nothing she could do now, so she might as well restore her spiritual power.

Lei Lingyin looked at her secretly and murmured in a low voice, "What a terrifying speed in absorbing spiritual power. You are worthy of being a genius, but..."

He sighed helplessly, "I don't know how many people are outside now. I'm afraid all the guards on the ship have died. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, there will be a way to reach the mountain." Bai Zhiqian's spiritual power recovered at an astonishing speed, and it was all restored in the blink of an eye.

These days, she has surprisingly discovered that the Sky Fantasy Moon Technique can operate independently. Even if she does not actively practice it, the spiritual power in her body will gradually increase.

After thinking about it, he simply sat down and moved closer to Lei Lingyin.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that men and women say they don't kiss each other?" Lei Lingyin frowned, as if he disliked her closeness, and moved to the side.

Bai Zhiqian simply chatted with him about her daily life, "It's too boring to wait like this. Why don't you tell me your story? I've always been curious about why you hide yourself like a playboy."

Lei Lingyin showed a weird smile, "I'm not hiding it, this is my true face. I do like beautiful girls, but it's not as outrageous as the rumors say, and I have never raped a girl."

"As for why there are those rumors, it is probably done by some people in the Lei family. Being born into a family may not mean that everyone will be united, especially when it comes to the position of the head of the family."

Bai Zhiqian nodded secretly. It seemed that it was the old-fashioned heir issue again. As far as she knew, Lei Lingyin had two older brothers.

"It's all because I was too sharp when I was young and didn't know how to hide myself. Instead, those people focused on me, and my mother was killed as a result."

Bai Zhiqian had also heard about this matter. Back then, a fire broke out inexplicably in the Lei family, but only one person was burned to death, and that was Lei Lingyin's mother.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, a wealthy family is always inseparable from these dark things. In fact, the Bai family is similar. There are many people who always want my life."

Lei Lingyin suddenly laughed, "Miss Bai, I'm afraid you don't know one thing about the major families, or there is a rumor about the shadows."

Looking at the other party's interested expression, he paused and then spoke in a low voice, "The shadow has a history of at least several decades in Ye Qiucheng, and it always becomes active again every once in a while, but there is nothing we can do about it.

"

"Is there nothing that can be done about such a big city with so many people with advanced cultivation? Can't even find traces of the shadows? I don't believe it, and I don't think you believe it either."

"Therefore, some people once believed that the so-called Shadow was formed by the senior leaders of several major families in Ye Qiucheng. Their purpose was to maintain the family's status in Ye Qiucheng. If there was anything that could threaten them, they would work together to eradicate it.

"

"Only this reason can explain why there is no trace of the shadow in the huge Ye Qiucheng. Because there are several big families blocking it, no one can find the shadow."

"How is that possible?" Bai Zhiqian was shocked, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Lei Lingyin, this doesn't make sense. If Shadow is really formed by several major families, your Lei family should be among them. There is no reason to attack you."

Lei Lingyin suddenly laughed, "So, I told you, it's just a legend!"
