Ming Yunqi raised his hand leisurely and slowly brought the teacup to his mouth with an elegant and leisurely movement.

However, in the next second, before his lips touched the delicate wall of the teacup, a hand suddenly appeared like a ghost and grabbed Ming Yunqi's arm tightly with lightning speed.

This sudden change caused the boiling hot tea in the cup to splash out due to inertia and spill onto Ming Yunqi's hands.

The back of Ming Yunqi's hand instantly turned red, and the stinging sensation made him frown slightly.

The teacup was thrown off and fell to the ground, making a crisp and breaking sound.

It is particularly harsh in the silent space.

His eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze shot like lightning towards the big hand that was tightly holding his arm. The force seemed to crush his wrist alive.

"How dare you! Let my young master go!" The leader of the secret guards keenly noticed the abnormality here. His pupils suddenly contracted and his face turned pale in an instant.

His hand quickly reached to his waist like lightning, and with a "swish", he pulled out the shining long knife and placed it across Bai Lian's neck without hesitation. The blade flashed with a cold light, close to the flesh on Bai Lian's neck. As long as Bai Lian moved a little, the sharp blade would cut into him mercilessly, and blood would be drawn in an instant.

"Get out of here!" Bai Lian's eyes suddenly became fierce, and an invisible powerful force, centered on him, spread out in all directions like surging waves.

Before the Dark Guard Commander could react, he was like a light falling leaf, being fiercely bounced away by the invisible air wave. At the same time, the knife in the Dark Guard Commander's hand was also blown away, drawing an arc in the air, and leaving a glaring bloody line on Bai Lian's neck.

The blood flowed slowly down his neck and soon disappeared at his collar, staining it a dark color.

"Ahhh, Boss, you're bleeding!" System 748 saw this and shouted in panic.

Bai Lian simply gave a cold and sharp look, and System 748 was like being cast under a spell, freezing in place, not daring to move, not even to breathe.

"Take the things out!" Bai Lian's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his voice revealed an unconcealable urgency.

As he spoke, his grip on Ming Yunqi's arm tightened, as if he was going to crush Ming Yunqi's arm.

Ming Yunqi glanced at the unconscious Dark Guard Commander, his expression remained calm.

He calmly took out another teacup from the tray with his other hand, and without rushing, he poured another cup of tea from the teapot. The steaming hot tea poured into the cup, emitting a lingering tea aroma.

He gently picked up the teacup with the hand that was not tightly bound, lowered his head slightly, blew away the foam on it, and then took a sip slowly. He looked leisurely and contented, as if he didn't care about Bai Lian in front of him at all.

After he put the teacup down steadily, Bai Lian's expression became more and more impatient, and the anxiety and anger in his eyes almost burst out. He couldn't wait to grab it.

At this moment, Ming Yunqi looked at Bai Lian as if offering alms, with a hint of doubt in his tone:

"I wonder what Brother Bai is talking about? I don't remember having anything of Brother Bai's here."

Bai Lian's sharp eyes were fixed on the tuft of colorful fur that was exposed from Ming Yunqi's sleeves. As if it had sensed his gaze, the tuft of fur actually quietly moved into Ming Yunqi's sleeves, as if it wanted to find a safe place to hide.

It was about to disappear from Bai Lian's sight. Bai Lian's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he immediately took action and quickly pulled it out from Ming Yunqi's sleeve.

"Bad guy, bad guy, let me go, Daddy save me, Daddy~" A childish voice sounded, with fear and grievance in it.

Ming Yunqi watched the colorful little tail being snatched away by Bai Lian. The childish cry for help rang clearly in his mind, and his face turned livid in an instant.

"Give it back to me!" Ming Yunqi said calmly.

With a "swish", a dagger emitting a faint red light was pulled out from his sleeve like lightning and pointed directly at Bai Lian.

The dagger collided violently with the spiritual power surrounding Bai Lian, making a crisp metallic collision sound.

To Bai Lian's surprise, the dagger easily penetrated his defense and slashed straight towards his wrist.

With a "hiss", a piece of black robe was cut off and flew in the air. If Bai Lian hadn't reacted quickly and retracted his hand in time, his wrist would have been chopped off.

"Daddy, Daddy~" The colorful little tail twisted wildly in Bai Lian's palm, like a trapped little animal, struggling desperately to break free.

Bai Lian was slightly stunned when the little tail called Ming Yunqi "Daddy". While he was stunned, the little tail seized the opportunity sharply, and suddenly broke free from his palm, like a colorful light and shadow, squirming madly towards Ming Yunqi's direction.

Bai Lian was afraid of hurting it, so he hurriedly and carefully placed it on the stone table. As soon as the little tail was free, it immediately crawled towards Ming Yunqi at the fastest speed. Ming Yunqi quickly reached out, took the little guy back steadily, and held him tightly in his arms.

Bai Lian looked at the dagger in Ming Yunqi's hand with an inexplicable expression, his eyes seemed to be filled with shock and sorrow, he muttered to himself:

"He actually gave all this to you."

The way he looked at Ming Yunqi became somewhat complicated, as if he was jealous and disappointed.

At this time, the stone table had turned into a pile of fragments and scattered all over the ground because of Bai Lian's loss of control.

Ming Yunqi tightly protected his little tail, looking at the man opposite him with deep and vigilant eyes.

"Do you know what you are holding in your hand?" Bai Lian suddenly broke the silence and spoke with a strange tone.

Ming Yunqi lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the small dagger in his hand.

This dagger was given to him by the little cub for self-defense after he came to Qingzhou City from Kyoto, for fear that he would encounter danger.

The dagger was dark red, as if it had been stained with blood, and it exuded a mysterious aura. He looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell what material it was made of.

I just thought that this was the same as the medicine that inexplicably appeared on the little cub's body, and it was all due to the little cub's magical ability.

But looking at the man's expression at this moment, Ming Yunqi couldn't help but feel confused. It seemed that this man knew his little cub.

Could this man be the one who hurt his little cub?

This thought couldn't help but emerge in Ming Yunqi's mind.

Thinking of this man who had been with the remnants of the witch clan from the previous dynasty, and remembering the first time he saw the little cub, it looked as insecure as a little hedgehog, and was fully defensive of everything around it, Ming Yunqi's eyes could not help but become more profound, and his whole body exuded an irrepressible murderous intent.

"Do you know my son?" Ming Yunqi's voice sounded in a low voice, with a hint of majesty and coldness.

Only at this moment did Bai Lian begin to observe Ming Yunqi carefully. It was only then that he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he felt that Ming Yunqi looked somewhat familiar. The only time that the little cub turned into a human form in front of him, he looked so similar to Ming Yunqi now, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Bai Lian did not answer Ming Yunqi's question, but asked in return:

"Where is he now? I want to see him." Bai Lian's eyes revealed an eagerness and desire.

"Why do you think I would let a dangerous person see my child?" Ming Yunqi sneered, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his laughter, as if he was mocking Bai Lian's arrogance.

"That's not your child, he should be my child!" Bai Lian finally couldn't help it, and for a moment he lost control. He retorted loudly, with a hysterical anger in his voice.
