When he first heard it, he was skeptical, but now it seems it’s actually true.

She really seems afraid of snakes!

"Heh, you’re so venomous. Does Mu Huaen know?"

"Whether he knows or not has nothing to do with you." Ye Haoyang continued, "But if you tell me something interesting, I might spare you."

"Don’t count on those people outside coming to rescue you." Ye Haoyang smiled faintly, "This place is hard for anyone to find, especially since they’re outsiders, they won’t be able to locate this place."

"I don’t know anything, what do you want me to say?"

"Heh..."

Soon, a subordinate came over with a small bucket, inside were a few colorful snakes slithering around.

Ye Haoyang took it, and picked up one with his fingers, moving closer and closer to her, "The snake is venomous, so are you, you’re a perfect match."

"Get away, take it away from me..." Mu Yubing’s face turned increasingly pale, sweat gathering on her forehead.

But before she could finish her words, Ye Haoyang loosened his grip, and a snake fell onto her face.

Suddenly, Mu Yubing rolled her eyes and fainted.

"Master, scared her too much."

Ye Haoyang glared at him, "Wake her up."

"Yes."

However, when Mu Yubing woke up, she found Ye Haoyang behaving like a mischievous child, dangling the snake in front of her eyes, nearly frightening her into fainting again.

"Get out of here!"

"Once you confess, I will naturally leave!"

Mu Yubing hesitated for a moment, then finally murmured, "Those women in white are from the Tayi Tribe."

Tayi Tribe? Ye Haoyang thought about it, wasn’t that tribe later annexed by the Tayun Tribe?

Could it be that they’ve come to avenge knowing that Commandery Princess Dongyang is one of the Tayun Tribe?

"How did you get mixed up with them?"

"I don’t know." Mu Yubing shook her head, she didn’t know at first, but now she does.

"Still not being honest?" Ye Haoyang saw the evasive look in her eyes, knew she wasn’t speaking the truth, and threatened further, "I’ll say it once more, tell me everything you know, or I will feed you a few live snakes."

As he spoke, he moved the snake’s head closer to her mouth.

Mu Yubing’s face turned even paler.

"The maternal family of Commandery Princess Dongyang’s mother is the Tayi Tribe. These women in white are the Tayi Tribe’s hidden soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Ye Haoyang suddenly recalled when he was betrothed to Hua’en, the mother-in-law sent a betrothal token, claiming it was a treasure from her maternal tribe.

"What are they doing in the Capital City?"

"Looking for something."

Ye Haoyang’s eyes flashed, fearing the silver flower must be what they’re searching for.

"What are they looking for?"

"I don’t know." Mu Yubing finished and suddenly shouted, "I really don’t know this. They wanted to find something at the Mu Family, I want revenge, same purpose, of course they wouldn’t tell me these things."

"But didn’t they call you master?" Ye Haoyang asked, "Don’t tell me, you’re their master and yet you don’t know this?"

"Have you ever seen a master get abandoned while the others escape?" Mu Yubing sneered, "I’m a puppet, understand?"

Ye Haoyang felt he had asked enough and tossed the snake beside her.

She shrank back reflexively, screaming, "Take these away from me, hurry!"

"Snake without teeth, what are you afraid of?" Ye Haoyang said speechlessly as he kicked the snake aside, then said to his subordinate, "Keep an eye on her, if she dies or goes missing, you will have to end yourselves."

"Yes, master!"
