Chapter 719: Chapter 719 Trapped

Manager Qiao strolled leisurely to the two of them, "Since you don’t wish to stay in the comfortable Bai Residence, then stay here."

Bai Junjun slightly turned her eyes, "The surveillance at the entrance of the Bai Residence was arranged by you?"

Manager Qiao didn’t speak.

"We have no power or influence, what benefit is there for you to watch us?"

"Sometimes, surveillance is also a form of care," Manager Qiao said, as though it meant something and nothing at all.

Li Wenli’s eyes narrowed sharply upon hearing this, deep in thought.

Whose care is that... ah, spit.

Unaware of any undercurrents, Bai Junjun only felt that Manager Qiao was being deliberately mysterious. She silently took out the Flying Flower Order, "Do you know that we are friends with Shopkeeper Yan, and you treat us like this, aren’t you afraid she’ll find out?"

Manager Qiao smiled, "If she knows, she would definitely thank me for trapping you here, if I let you run wild again, who knows if you’ll even see tomorrow’s sun.

The Imperial Capital is no longer the Imperial Capital of the past, and you are no longer the favored lady of heaven you once were, getting involved in the strife could only lead to your doom.

Having barely stolen back a life, why would you willingly sacrifice it again?"

Bai Junjun slightly turned her eyes to scrutinize Manager Qiao, attempting to deduce some heavenly secrets from his remarks.

From Manager Qiao’s demeanour, could it be that he thought she had traveled Thousand Miles back to the Imperial Capital to choose a side with Yuwen Luanfei?

Even if she took sides, what business was it of his?

Manager Qiao didn’t like her taking sides because she hadn’t chosen his side?

So whose side is he on? Yuwen Jun’s?

Bai Junjun focused on Manager Qiao, her mind running faster than anyone else’s.

Manager Qiao, unaware of what the young lady was thinking, prepared to return to his bed to continue sleeping.

This time, it was Bai Junjun who was surprised.

"You can’t be thinking of just controlling us like this, right? Even if we can’t leave this iron cage, we can still shout. Surely someone outside will hear our cries for help."

Manager Qiao’s smile was ambiguous as he hooked his lips, "Then you can try."

Bai Junjun was about to howl a few times just to make a point when numerous small insects started to appear around them.

These insects originally clung to the walls of the pit, and as Bai Junjun and Li Wenli stayed longer, the warmer it got around them, and the insects gradually woke up.

Now they were buzzing towards them like a swarm of gnats.

Bai Junjun sensed something was seriously amiss, and Manager Qiao leaned in slightly, "They’re called Silent Breathless insects. The moment you open your mouths to shout, they’ll fly down your throats and into your bodies, using them as warm nests to lay their eggs. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn’t save you then."

Bai Junjun had never imagined that Manager Qiao was also an adept at using Gu.

No wonder he was so confident earlier.

Could this man be affiliated with Witch Ancestor Mountain rather than the Itinerant World?

While Bai Junjun was doubting and wondering, the insects were flying more densely towards them.

Li Wenli timely took two handkerchiefs out of Space, stuffing one into Bai Junjun’s hand.

Bai Junjun quickly bowed her head to tie the handkerchief over her face, not forgetting to yell at Manager Qiao, "Even if you can stop us from calling for help, when Yuwen Luanfei finds out we’re missing, he will search the entire city. Once he finds us here, you won’t be able to clear your name even if you dive into the Yellow River, so it’s best you let us go now."

"Sorry to say, but Yuwen Luanfei could spend his whole life searching and still not find this place," Manager Qiao said confidently, hooking his lips and slowly moving towards the bedstead.

As Manager Qiao left, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli in the cave were also pondering their lives.

At this moment, there were two paths laid out before them.
