Jiang Yin had been captured for several days, but Jiang Yaoji showed no sign of sending anyone to rescue him.
Yun Luotian was impatient and asked, "Doesn't Jiang Yaoji know that he's in our hands?"
Ji Yunxi was originally quite confident, but with Jiang Yaoji taking no action at all, she began to feel a bit panicked. Did she know or not?
Filled with doubts, Ji Yunxi decided to test the waters. She deliberately got the Merman Tribe to spread the news and even went out specifically to find the spies of the Moon - Watching Pavilion nearby and boasted loudly about how she had kidnapped Jiang Yin.
Yun Han didn't quite understand the reason behind Ji Yunxi's actions. Her behavior seemed rather rash at the moment.
It would have been best if they didn't confront each other for now.
He endured it for an entire afternoon, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He called Ji Yunxi over and said in a rather bad tone, "Yunxi, what on earth are you up to?"
"Uncle, I want to exchange for some people."
Yun Han was completely confused. "What do you mean?"
"Uncle, my second brother Ji Yunyi, Li Jiuge, and the disciples of the Dream - Blossom Pavilion we sent out before are all in their hands. I can't just sit back and do nothing. If I do, I'll not only lose my helpers but also the hearts of the people in the Dream - Blossom Pavilion."
Yun Han knew she was right and nodded. "You're right about this. We should exchange some people back. But do you think Jiang Yaoji, with her personality, will ever agree to your request?"
"She will. Jiang Yin is no ordinary servant. He knows a lot about Jiang Yaoji. Jiang Yaoji can't not be afraid. As long as she's afraid, we'll have a chance to get our people back. Even if we can just exchange Jiang Yin for Lu Shu or Ji Yunyi, it'll be worth it."
Yun Han had never fought against Jiang Yaoji before. However, Ji Yunxi never fought a battle without preparation, so in the end, her decision shouldn't be too far off.
"Fine, this can work. Let's do it like this then."
However, the news had already spread, and they waited until after dinner but still didn't receive any message from Jiang Yaoji.
Qing Xuan was both angry and amused as he looked at Jiang Yin, who was tied up in the yard and had fainted from the cold. "Master, could it be that Jiang Yaoji really isn't coming?"
Ji Yunxi was also a bit puzzled by Jiang Yaoji's thoughts. Had she already decided to just let things go to ruin?
"Let's wait a bit longer. Anyway, it's not very meaningful to just let him die right now. Instead, we might as well give it a try. As long as there's even a glimmer of hope, we can cut off Jiang Yaoji's right - hand man. It all depends on whether she'll feel heartache or not."
Yun Luotian also agreed and nodded. "Maybe she's just waiting for us to get impatient. We just need to stay calm. She'll surely take some action."
After dinner, Ji Yunxi was afraid that Jiang Yin would freeze to death, so she brought him into the house and woke him up.
Qing Xuan, following her order, served as the messenger. "Jiang Yin, a day has passed, and Jiang Yaoji still hasn't come. Has she given you up?"
His tone annoyed Jiang Yin greatly. He gritted his teeth and said, "The clan leader always puts the overall situation first!"
Ji Yunxi was standing at the door. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but sneer. She walked in and said, "Do you even believe that yourself? What on earth is Jiang Yaoji going all out for? Others may not know, but you, Jiang Yin, should be clear. Isn't she doing it all for Feng Xingzhi? You still say she puts the overall situation first?"
She couldn't help but laugh. "Jiang Yin, I never thought you'd be so blindly loyal."
Jiang Yin gritted his teeth, and there was a bit of bitterness in his heart. He naturally knew what Jiang Yaoji cared about most, but now that it had been exposed directly, he couldn't help but feel extremely sad.
"No matter what you say, I won't talk. Just kill me." He became calmer and calmer. Ji Yunxi could only shake her head and turn to leave.
"Actually, even if you don't say anything, I already know."
Just as the door was about to close, Jiang Yin looked up in disbelief, staring at Ji Yunxi with a panicked expression. "What do you know?! What on earth do you know?!"
Ji Yunxi looked at him with pity. "You've never felt the power of divine power, so even if you don't say anything, I already know. Jiang Yaoji can't hide anything."
Jiang Yin was sweating all over. He really didn't know the power of divine power, so he could only imagine. Ji Yunxi's words made his heart sink. What should he do?
At this moment, in Jiang Yaoji's room, she was still pacing back and forth.
Today, many of her subordinates had sent back news that Ji Yunxi was so bold that she had directly spread the news. It was almost as if she wanted to come right in front of her and announce it.
She was worried that Jiang Yin had already said something. Otherwise, why would Ji Yunxi be so eager to meet her?
What on earth did she want?
Jiang Yaoji couldn't figure out what Ji Yunxi was up to. She could only look extremely anxious and curse Ji Yunxi non - stop.
Just then, Feng Xingzhi knocked on Jiang Yaoji's door. He had only learned about Jiang Yin's capture in the morning.
He had been waiting for Jiang Yaoji's news, but half a day had passed, and Jiang Yaoji had taken no action at all. It seemed as if Jiang Yin's existence didn't matter. But Feng Xingzhi didn't think so. At least in his opinion, Jiang Yin knew a lot of things. If he couldn't come back, it might not be a good thing.
So, unable to sit still any longer, he stood up and took the initiative to come and ask Jiang Yaoji.
When Jiang Yaoji saw him, she immediately changed her angry expression and invited Feng Xingzhi into the room gently and attentively. However, she had forgotten about the mess caused by her bad temper. Seeing that Feng Xingzhi had nowhere to step, she could only smile awkwardly.
"They haven't come yet..." Jiang Yaoji wanted to explain. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Feng Xingzhi.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Feng Xingzhi interrupted her. "It doesn't matter. I just heard from them that Jiang Yin was taken away by Ji Yunxi and the others. Is that true?"
Jiang Yaoji gritted her teeth secretly. She wondered who had been so talkative as to expose this matter. According to Feng Xingzhi's personality, he would definitely want to save this person!
On the surface, she pretended to look worried. "So you already know about this... I've been worrying about this matter."
Feng Xingzhi frowned slightly. He could see the fake concern on Jiang Yaoji's face. In fact, her acting skills were not very good.
If she was really worried, she should have come to discuss it with him earlier, instead of waiting until it was almost dark without any news.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Jiang Yaoji pretended to be in a difficult position. "Of course I want to rescue Jiang Yin. He's my good friend. But now Ji Yunxi's trap is too obvious. I'm not sure how I can bring him back safely."
Feng Xingzhi felt a bit annoyed when he heard her start to drag Ji Yunxi into the matter again. He thought to himself that after getting along for so many days, even though he didn't remember the past, he could still see her falsehood. It was Ji Yunxi who seemed more just.
He didn't feel it was appropriate to say this out loud. After hesitating for a long time, even though he didn't trust Jiang Yaoji that much now, Jiang Yin also knew about him. If he defected, it might not be a good thing. So he said, "If that's the case, then I'll handle this matter."
