Chapter 261: Chapter 111: See if I Don’t Chop Off Your Claws

If he can control him, he can naturally control those people and make them send her back.

But she didn’t do that; other than not having played enough, Yun Wanye could not think of another explanation.

After hearing his words, Yun Zheng and Yun Wanchen relaxed.

“It’s fine as long as everything’s okay. However, we still need to quickly find Xiao Si; otherwise, your mother will be worried sick. Let’s go.”

Yun Zheng glanced at the other end of the secret passage and was the first to step forward.

“Hey, Dad, please wait a moment.”

Yun Wanye immediately caught up and grabbed Yun Zheng’s arm to stop him.

“What’s the matter?”

Yun Zheng turned his head, frowning in confusion at him.

Yun Wanye drew the soft sword from his waist, saying seriously, “You walk behind me.”

They were completely unfamiliar with this dark passage and didn’t know if there were ambushes or traps set up. If his father went in recklessly and encountered danger, it would be terrible.

“I haven’t reached the age where I need my son for protection. You stay behind me.”

Yun Zheng immediately understood his intention and, with a sense of relief, pushed him behind.

He wasn’t sure about other fathers, but he would never hide behind his son during such a critical moment.

“But…”

Yun Wanye just opened his mouth, not having finished his sentence before his father interrupted him mercilessly.

“Do you think you’re the only one who knows to be cautious? Your father, I’ve crawled out from piles of corpses in chaotic scenes. How could I be without a bit of vigilance?”

“Rest assured, I’ll be fine.”

After speaking, Yun Zheng slightly moved his hand, and a crisp sound came from his sleeves, with a uniquely shaped blade springing out on the backs of both hands.

Wrist blades!!!

Yun Wanye’s eyes shifted slightly, finally putting his mind at ease.

It seems that his father’s preparation was indeed thorough. If he was not mistaken, his father was wearing armor under his clothes, which was certainly more cautious than he was.

There was nothing more to say. Yun Wanye pursed his lips and stood reassuringly behind him.

The narrow, dark passage was winding and twisting. Yun Zheng held a Luminous Pearl carefully leading the way.

It wasn’t long before they encountered a fork in the path.

Looking at the fork, Yun Zheng earnestly advised the two brothers, “Both of you should proceed together. Remember to be careful.”

“Dad, I can do this on my own. Let Big Brother go with you, so you can look out for each other.”

Yun Wanye immediately spoke out to refute, although he knew Yun Zheng was well-prepared; he was still not comfortable with his father being alone.

“Cut the nonsense. You two must not separate, even if you encounter more forks. Make marks and explore one path before going to another.”

“Whether you find Xiao Si or not, make sure to meet your Seventh Uncle at dawn, understood?”

Yun Zheng rejected his suggestion and gave another warning before heading toward the right passage.

Watching his father’s back, Yun Wanye couldn’t help but stretch his neck and shout lowly, “Hey, Dad, please be careful.”

Yun Wanchen: “…”

He wasn’t saying anything, but their father was way more cautious than them. For him, tonight’s event wasn’t a big deal at all.

On the battlefield, their father faced situations a lot more perilous than this.

“Alright, Ye’er, let’s get moving too.”

He reached out to pat Yun Wanye’s shoulder and started walking toward the left passage. Yun Wanye quickly followed.

“Hey, Big Brother, you be careful too. Don’t walk so fast.”

“It’s fine…”

In the secret chamber.

Yun Wanqing couldn’t stand those black-clad men being too relaxed. Realizing there was a chance Yun Wanye might lose track, she began to cry loudly again.

“Waaah…”

As soon as her cries rang out, the black-clad men flinched, their nerves tightening, each looking at her in agony.

“Boss, this little girl is crying so loud, for sure the sound will be heard on the ground. If it attracts people from the Duke Ning Mansion, it’ll be trouble.”

One of the black-clad men pinched the bridge of his nose, speaking out in irritation.

The leader’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, filled with loathing as he said, “Crying all day long, crying, crying, crying. Cry until you die. If only I knew what use the master had for you, I’d have smashed you to death already.”

[…]

[Wow, you actually want to smash me to death; how vicious, truly vicious.]

[I’m just a little baby! Haven’t had milk for most of the day, and I’ve been snatched away by a bunch of strangers; crying and fussing is only normal, okay? Not crying or fussing would be strange.]

[Clearly, you haven’t taken care of a child before.]

[Anyone who’s done it for even one day wouldn’t say something so stupid.]

[Anyway, try smashing me and see if I won’t chop off your paws.]
