Chapter 92: Wu Xiu Captured

Chapter 92: Wu Xiu Captured

Hearing how hurt Bai Yeye sounded, Shen Yu's heart felt as if it were being clenched, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Yeye, I'm sorry."

He didn't deny it, which only made Bai Yeye more upset: "Liar! I never want to talk to you again!"

It was Shen Yu who had promised him that when he returned, he would let him participate in more things. He had been looking forward to this for days, only to be met with this outcome.

Bai Yeye threw the communicator to the ground, shattering it. He turned his back on Bai Zhu and the others, refusing to talk to them anymore.

"Xingxing, watch him. Let me know if anything changes." Bai Zhu couldn't stand to see Bai Yeye like this either, but he had promised Bai Ningxin that he would only release Bai Yeye when Bai Ningxin came personally.

Meanwhile, Shen Yu's mood was also not good.

He closed his eyes, but his brow stayed furrowed for a long time.

His rationality told him that now was not the time to be troubled by personal feelings, but Bai Yeye's hurt voice kept echoing in his ears.

"Get some rest." Bai Yuanzhou stood up to give him some space.

Shen Yu opened his eyes again just as he was about to leave, returning to his usual demeanor: "No need. Let's keep talking."

"Take a break. It's fine." Bai Yuanzhou urged him.

"The sooner I deal with this, the sooner I can go see him."

Bai Yuanzhou sighed. He really admired how unnaturally rational Shen Yu was. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to deal with anything right now.

"General! A large number of poisoned people have appeared on the planet!" Gu Yuankai barged in without knocking.

Bai Yuanzhou and Shen Yu both stood up. Had they made their move?

"Follow the original plan. Send all residents to the protective base. Yuanzhou, lead your troops to surround the palace. If you can capture them alive, do it; if not, shoot them on sight." There was no need to keep those in cahoots with the emperor anymore.

Bai Yuanzhou nodded and was about to head out when a soldier from the prince's residence stumbled in, bumping into him.

"What's wrong!" Bai Yuanzhou's heart jumped into his throat. Had something happened to Bai Ruoshui?

"Prince Consort, the Prince Consort was attacked! Fortunately, the assailant has been subdued by Wu Shao. The Prince Consort requests that you and General Shen return to the prince's residence immediately."

Bai Yuanzhou rushed out without a second thought. Shen Yu frowned and asked, "Why do I need to go as well?"

Logically, this shouldn't involve him.

"The Prince Consort said you'll understand when you get there. Please hurry, General."

Shen Fu instructed Gu Yuankai to take control of the situation first and then followed Bai Yuanzhou.

"Ruoshui, Ruoshui! Are you alright!" Bai Yuanzhou panicked until he saw Bai Ruoshui, then he calmed down.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The person who came to capture me today was Wu Xiu!" Bai Ruoshui's expression was grave.

"Where is he?" Shen Yu pressed.

"He's locked in the dungeon of the prince's residence. I didn't dare act hastily, so I ask General Shen to handle him."

Bai Ruoshui led Shen Yu to the dungeon, where Wu Xiu was already chained to a torture rack by Bai Ruoshui. His face was deathly pale, like a ghost crawling out of hell. Even captured, he showed no fear, instead grinning menacingly at Bai Ruoshui.

"Good, very good. You're stronger than I thought. You're indeed suitable to be the source."

Bai Yuanzhou was furious and stepped forward to kill him.

Shen Yu stopped him: "Don't act rashly. Right now, only he knows where the source is."

Bai Ruoshui also held Bai Yuanzhou back: "Calm down, it's okay. He can't do anything to me now."

Shen Yu asked Bai Ruoshui to take Bai Yuanzhou out to calm down, staying behind alone to interrogate Wu Xiu.

"Tell me where the source is, and I'll let you die in one piece." Shen Yu's gaze was fierce, his overwhelming aura like a thousand-pound weight.

Wu Xiu wasn't afraid; instead, he laughed: "You're strong too, but I'd prefer Bai Ruoshui to be the source. I want to see my senior brother's expression—whether he'll personally kill his little disciple."

Shen Yu picked up the nearby whip and struck him, tearing his flesh open: "I'm not in the mood to chat with you. If you don't talk, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead."

Wu Xiu laughed even harder: "Then go ahead. Let's see if you can pry my mouth open."

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and poured salt water over Wu Xiu's wounds.

Wu Xiu just laughed, not letting out any sound of pain.

"If the previous divine healer knew that the disciple he spent most of his life training had turned to dark arts, he would surely regret it." Shen Yu knew that these tortures were no use on him now. Wu Xiu had lost all sense of pain; even throwing him into boiling oil would be futile.

"Hahaha, it's too late to say that now. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Wu Xiu's face was smug, as if he was certain Shen Yu could do nothing to him.

Shen Yu ordered someone to keep an eye on him and went to get Wu Shao.

Only Wu Shao knew how to deal with him.

"His life or death means nothing to me. I'm not getting involved." Wu Shao refused firmly.

Gu Yuankai reported that the poisoned people were starting to spread to other planets. Bai Ruoshui knew they couldn't waste any more time and urged Shen Yu to leave first.

"General, go take care of other things. Leave Master to me. If I can't persuade him, staying here would just be a waste of your time."

Shen Yu nodded. "Keep me posted."

Bai Yuanzhou was worried about Bai Ruoshui, but for the sake of the innocent civilians, he had to leave as well.

"Wait for me at home. Don't get into anything dangerous." Bai Yuanzhou kissed Bai Ruoshui's forehead.

Bai Ruoshui held his hand. "You too. Stay safe."

After they left, Bai Ruoshui walked over to Wu Shao and said softly, "Master, this is very important."

Wu Shao looked at him calmly. "Bai Ruoshui, you know me better than they do. You should understand why I refused."

The fact that Wu Shao didn't lose his temper meant he was truly angry. Bai Ruoshui didn't dare say anything more and withdrew to stand guard outside.

Wu Xiu's capture was supposed to be good news, but it made Bai Ruoshui uneasy.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Wu Xiu had some other ulterior motive this time.
