Chapter 23 Trapped
The whole room was completely plunged into darkness. Bai Zhiqian clenched her sword tightly and was always vigilant about her surroundings, but at this moment the whole room became strangely silent.

She didn't make a sound, and watched with breathless concentration, but suddenly felt a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind, and immediately swung her sword to chop off.

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

Her wrist was tightly held, and Lei Lingyin's voice could be heard in front of her.

"What do you want to do when you approach me suddenly, and... what's going on here?"

Lei Lingyin replied anxiously, "The situation doesn't look good. They have completely controlled the main control room and locked us in this room completely. Bai Ningshuang, are you sure you will still be hostile to me at this time?"

"So I'm trapped on this boat?" Bai Zhiqian frowned, and said angrily, "You've been bragging about how powerful this spirit boat is, so it was easily taken over by someone."

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

Bai Zhiqian didn't bother to pay any 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, Lei Lingyin, have you seen Little Crescent Moon? Why isn't she here?"

Lei Lingyin thought for a while and replied, "At this moment, you still care about others. She should have left with Ling Yue during the chaos just now. Don't think about it, they are real sisters."

"I even think that she and Lingyue are in the same group. The two sisters pretended to deceive us together, otherwise how could it be possible..."

"Shut up!" Of course, Bai Zhiqian didn't believe it, she quickly interrupted him, "It's clear that you are greedy for beauty and let Ling Yue control the spirit boat so easily, now you have the nerve to blame a little girl."

Lei Lingyin's face suddenly became ugly, he lowered his head for a long time before sighing. "I was too careless. I didn't expect that the shadow would have already targeted the spirit boat. Now I just hope that the people of Lei's family can find out what's wrong soon and bring someone to rescue us, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Shadow probably wants more than just a spirit boat, and this ship can easily be converted into a weapon of war. Their target is probably Ye Qiucheng!"

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

But before she could make a move, she was forcibly stopped by Lei Lingyin, "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 impossible for you to split it!" It’s open, and attacking rashly may also arouse the automatic defense of the spirit boat.”

"This broken ship!" Bai Zhiqian gritted her teeth, and said coldly, "Lei Lingyin, you must be playing tricks on me. If you tell me, I won't believe you didn't think of getting out!"

Lei Lingyin said in a deep voice, "It's time like this. Is there any point in teasing you? As for the way out, I really have no 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 finishing speaking, he sat down on the ground, squinting his eyes in a very leisurely manner, and did not show any panic at all.

Bai Zhiqian was very 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 most severe punishment, and he might even lose everything now.

"What the hell is this guy thinking?"

She suddenly felt a little regretful in her heart, she really should have listened to Yi Yao, she should not have 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 I find myself in crisis? ]
She frowned, showing worry, and circled around Lei Lingyin absent-mindedly.

"Miss Bai, you interrupted my rest, if you have nothing to do, stand far away."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiqian simply leaned in front of Lei Lingyin, and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.

She sat down cross-legged and entered a state of meditation. There was really nothing she could do now, she might as well recover her spiritual power.

Lei Lingyin sized her up secretly, and murmured in a low voice, "What a terrifying speed of absorbing spiritual power, as expected of a genius, but..."

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

"Don't worry, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Bai Zhiqian's spiritual power recovered at an astonishing speed, and she recovered completely in the blink of an eye.

These days, she surprisingly discovered that the Sky Magic Moon Art can operate independently, even if she doesn't take the initiative to practice, the spiritual power in her body will gradually increase.

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

"What are you doing? I don't know if the male and female professors say they don't want to kiss each other?" Lei Lingyin frowned, as if he hated her being close, and moved to the side again.

Bai Zhiqian simply chatted with him, "It's too boring to wait like this, why don't you tell me about yourself, I've always been curious why you hide yourself as a dandy."

Lei Lingyin showed a weird smile, "It's not hiding, this is my true face. I do like pretty girls, but it's not as outrageous as the rumors say, and I haven't robbed civilian girls."

"As for why there are those rumors, it is probably caused by some people in the Lei family. Being born into a family may not necessarily unite everyone, especially when it comes to the position of the head of the family."

Bai Zhiqian nodded secretly, it seemed that it was an old heir issue again, as far as she knew, Lei Lingyin had two older brothers on her head.

"It's all because I was too sharp and didn't know how to hide myself when I was a child. Instead, I let those people stare at me, and my mother was killed because of it."

Bai Zhiqian had also heard a little about this incident. Back then, Lei's house caught fire for no reason, but only one person was burned to death, and that was Lei Lingyin's mother.

She couldn't help sighing, "Sure enough, the rich and powerful families are always inseparable from these dark things. In fact, the Bai family is similar. Many people have always wanted my life."

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

Seeing the other party's interested expression, he paused before speaking in a low voice, "The shadow has been in Ye Qiucheng for at least several decades, and it always becomes active again after a while, but everyone has nothing to do with it. "

"Could it be that such a big city, with so many people of advanced cultivation, can't do anything about it? Can't even find a trace of the shadow? I don't believe it, and I don't think you believe it either."

"Therefore, some people once thought that the so-called shadows were formed by the high-level members of Ye Qiucheng's big families. Their purpose was to maintain the family's status in Ye Qiucheng. Once there was anything that could threaten them, they would join forces to eradicate it. "

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

"How is it possible?" Bai Zhiqian was shocked, but she quickly realized it.

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

Lei Lingyin burst out laughing immediately, "So, as I said, it's just a legend!"
