"Hehe, there are still plenty of things that will make you see me in a new light, so don't rush." Chen Yang also gave a calm smile and stood up.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll eagerly watch and see how many times you can impress me." Gu Xuanyu continued to speak with composure.

"Alright, you can look forward to it then."

Chen Yang nodded slightly and added a remark.

The relationship between the two was highly intricate.

Though the words were all very calm, those nearby could sense the tension.

"At noon, shouldn't you go back to eat? Why are you just watching my team work? Are you that free?" After some initial verbal sparring, Gu Xuanyu suddenly shifted the topic, addressing why Chen Yang was here.

Earlier, Wu Damao had come over to chat with him.

Chen Yang already felt there was something amiss here.

Now with Gu Xuanyu coming over personally, it was certain there was definitely something going on!

"Work? It doesn't quite look that way. You say I'm free, but aren't you in the same boat, hanging around here with me?" Chen Yang replied cheerfully.

His words were skillfully crafted.

They seemed like a simple answer, yet conveyed an expression as if he had seen through everything.

In reality, he was completely unaware of what Gu Xuanyu's party was doing there.

He could only try to coax words out of Gu Xuanyu in this manner.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Gu Xuanyu's expression clearly changed.

His eyes gazed at Chen Yang, as if suspecting something about him.

"Chen Yang, unlike you, I'm here to inspect the site. Don't lump me with you." After a few suspicious looks, Gu Xuanyu said this.

"Hehe, inspecting the site, you're fooling a ghost. It's obvious you're capturing something, so why pretend?"

Seeing Gu Xuanyu wasn't taking the bait, Chen Yang, with a speculative mindset, plainly said Gu Xuanyu was capturing something.

Previously, Gu Xuanyu was just suspicious, but upon hearing Chen Yang's words, his expression instantly became grave.

It was clear Chen Yang had guessed correctly, prompting such a reaction.

"You know about it?" Gu Xuanyu frowned and directly asked back.

Chen Yang was delighted inside, thinking finally the trap worked.

"I have properties here, is there anything I wouldn't know about?" Chen Yang responded with a smile.

Gu Xuanyu's expression grew even more solemn after hearing this.

He was silent for over ten seconds before speaking again.

"Hehe, true, you come here frequently and have Qing Biao, so it's no surprise you know about the Golden Rat Wolf." Gu Xuanyu suddenly seemed relieved as he spoke.

Golden Rat Wolf? Qing Biao?

Chen Yang paused internally.

But quickly came to a realization.

The Qing Biao he mentioned should be Wangcai.

Wangcai used to be the Gu Family's spirit beast, which Chen Yang snatched from them.

So Gu Xuanyu was very aware of Wangcai's abilities.

As for the Golden Rat Wolf, Chen Yang speculated it was likely the yellow weasel he had seen a few times before.

Because in this woods, only that yellow weasel was unique, Chen Yang hadn't encountered anything else.

"Hmm, and then, what do you want to say?" Chen Yang nodded and said.

Gu Xuanyu's expression became serious once more.

"Since you know about it, I'll be frank; the Golden Rat Wolf was originally ours, the Gu Family's. It escaped nearby due to an accident last time, so don't think about it, understood?" Seeing Chen Yang knew everything, Gu Xuanyu did not conceal anything and straightforwardly warned Chen Yang.

Hearing this, Chen Yang understood.

No wonder he hadn't seen that yellow weasel before when he came here.

And now it appeared out of nowhere recently.

It must have recently escaped from the Gu Family's grip, thus appearing here.

"That's a bit naïve. If it were in the Gu Family's hands, then it would certainly be yours. But now that it's out, it's fair game for whoever finds it." Chen Yang spread his hands, completely disregarding Gu Xuanyu's warning.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Gu Xuanyu's expression grew increasingly tense.

After a sharp glare at Chen Yang for a few seconds, he suddenly smirked coldly.

"I advise you not to mess with it. If you insist, you're welcome to try."

Gu Xuanyu didn't say much more.

Knowing that continuing the conversation with Chen Yang was pointless, he left with a warning heavy with threat before taking his leave with his men.

Wu Damao and the others glared at Chen Yang as they left.

Without Gu Xuanyu, he would never have had the guts.

He dared such a look only because Gu Xuanyu was backing him up.

"Coward," Chen Yang scoffed, watching them leave.

After leaving Chen Yang's side, they returned to the woods below and continued directing operations.

And Gu Xuanyu stayed in the woods without moving.

As if guarding against Chen Yang attempting a snatch.

"That guy, something feels off, what on earth is wrong?"

Looking at Gu Xuanyu from afar, Chen Yang was puzzled.

He thought for a long while but couldn't figure it out.

Eventually, he decided not to dwell on it.

He shifted his focus back to the Golden Rat Wolf Gu Xuanyu mentioned.

Judging by Gu Xuanyu's tone, the Golden Rat Wolf might be a spirit beast like Wangcai.

And possess a particularly formidable ability.

If not, Gu Xuanyu wouldn't have made such a harsh statement.

This was evident from them losing Wangcai.

Although the Gu Family had tried to reclaim Wangcai after it was taken by him, they eventually gave up.

Analyzing this angle, the Golden Rat Wolf might indeed hold more value than Wangcai.

Naturally, Chen Yang desired such a spirit beast.

But now, with the woods full of Gu Family's people digging around, he couldn't even set foot there.

Hence, he couldn't search for it.

Despite his conflicts with the Gu Family, he wasn't a bully.

Snatching others' belongings forcibly didn't sit well with him, so after pondering a long while, he planned to leave.

If fate would have it, he might encounter it another time.

"Wangcai, let's go."

Chen Yang decisively made up his mind without hesitation.

He called to Wangcai and prepared to leave.

Bark bark.

But Wangcai remained in place, refusing to move, barking twice at Chen Yang as if speaking to him.

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Yang instinctively turned back to look at it: "What's wrong, Wangcai?"

Bark bark.

Wangcai barked twice again, then cast an intriguing look toward the pheasant farm.

Having spent almost every day with Wangcai, Chen Yang understood its nature well.

Its actions made it clear there was something in the pheasant farm.

"Lead the way."

Understanding Wangcai's intentions, Chen Yang spoke promptly.

Wangcai, upon hearing "lead the way," began moving as well.

It leisurely trotted towards the pheasant farm on its four legs.

Chen Yang followed with Hei Yun and Diao Xiong, walking towards the pheasant farm together.
