748: Chapter 737: Remote Control Gu Insects 748: Chapter 737: Remote Control Gu Insects “Young Master of the Yunteng Family, we meet again.”
In the dungeon where Teng Huayang was imprisoned, one day had passed when Ning Fan appeared before him once more.
Looking at Ning Fan’s smile, Teng Huayang couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger within, but since his life was still in the hands of another, he dared not show it and could only forcefully suppress the resentment in his heart, looking coldly at Ning Fan.
“Didn’t you just come to find me yesterday?
What brings you here today?”
Thinking of yesterday’s events, Teng Huayang still felt uncomfortable.
Being controlled by someone else was not a pleasant experience, especially for someone like him, who had been pampered all his life and could decide a person’s fate with just a word; it was unbearable.
But as long as Teng Huayang wanted to keep living, he had to accept this humiliation.
Ning Fan, observing Teng Huayang’s indifferent demeanor, spoke with a touch of disappointment, “You could at least look forward to it a bit.
I have prepared a little surprise for you.”
The so-called surprise naturally referred to Teng Zhong.
Now that Teng Zhong was in his hands, it was unknown whether Teng Huayang wanted to see him or not.
And at this moment, Teng Huayang, who knew nothing of this, was utterly indifferent, his thoughts known only to himself.
Seeing that the man did not want to show much emotion, Ning Fan gave a shrug and explained in a resigned tone, “The Yunteng Family has sent people again.
Are you happy?”
As Ning Fan said this, he kept observing Teng Huayang’s expression, and as expected, upon hearing the news, a light of excitement flashed in Teng Huayang’s eyes.
How could Teng Huayang not be excited?
If the Yunteng Family had sent people, then there was a possibility for his escape and a chance to redeem his pride.
During his days in the dungeon, besides fearing Ning Fan, Teng Huayang also harbored hatred towards him, particularly since he had been so easily frightened during their last encounter, looking so wretched.
That event was a thorn in Teng Huayang’s side, one he could not forget.
Given the chance, he would surely pay Ning Fan back double.
Although Teng Huayang hid it well, he couldn’t escape Ning Fan’s notice.
He had already discerned the subtle schemes hidden in the depths of Teng Huayang’s eyes; the young man was far too easy to read.
It seemed that no matter how calm the young man appeared on the surface, inside he was probably already fantasizing about pinning Ning Fan to the ground and beating him up.
Ning Fan, who had thoroughly grasped Teng Huayang’s character, naturally despised his petty thoughts.
Not to mention, two out of the four people sent by the Yunteng Family this time had already been captured by him, and even if all four had joined forces, they would still not be a match for him.
“Do you really want to see them?” Ning Fan asked again.
This time, Teng Huayang looked him in the eyes, but he was completely unable to fathom what was going on in Ning Fan’s mind.
The disparity between their mentalities was too vast.
Teng Huayang remained silent, keeping his silence.
It was unclear how long he planned to continue like this, but Ning Fan was in no rush.
After a few seconds, he asked a question that shocked Teng Huayang greatly—
“By the way, are you able to control Gu Insects from a distance?”
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s question, Teng Huayang’s eyes widened, and he abruptly raised his head, locking eyes with Ning Fan’s imperturbable gaze.
At this moment, Teng Huayang could not discern what Ning Fan was thinking; instead, he was unnerved by Ning Fan’s calm and tranquil gaze, suddenly feeling a surge of unease in his heart.
Why would Ning Fan ask such a question?
Was it merely out of curiosity?
Or did it have a deeper meaning?
Or was it possible that someone from the family had already encountered Ning Fan?
The only reason Teng Huayang could think of for Ning Fan to ask him about the long-distance control of Gu Insects was related to the Gu Insects inside Teng Zhong and the others.
He could not fathom any other reason for Ning Fan’s question.
At this point, Teng Huayang was unaware that Ning Fan had already captured both Teng Zhong and Teng Xi and brought them here.
Therefore, he imagined that Ning Fan had discovered the Gu Insect within Teng Dong’s body and intended to coerce him into revealing how to control the insects inside their bodies.
Once he mastered that method, it wouldn’t matter how many people the Yunteng Family sent, unless Teng Zhuhai himself took action, or another one of the family’s protectors stepped in—otherwise, it would all be in vain.
However, Ning Fan’s thought process was not as complicated as Teng Huayang imagined.
He had really just asked casually.
As for the concern Teng Huayang harbored, Ning Fan simply would not do such a thing, as it was a violation of the natural order, and more importantly, Ning Fan simply disdained to use such means.
“Aren’t you going to talk about it?”
Ning Fan asked with a smile, already gleaning the answer from Teng Huayang’s demeanor; indeed, the Yunteng Family had the ability to control Gu Insects from afar.
Otherwise, Teng Huayang wouldn’t be so frantic at this moment.
His current appearance was akin to a child caught in mischief by the teacher.
Teng Huayang unconsciously swallowed, his eyes darting around, as he stammered, “Talk, talk, talk about what…?”
He was already in a panic.
If Ning Fan proceeded as he feared, trying to control members of the Yunteng Family using that method, then Teng Huayang would be finished.
“If you won’t talk, let’s leave it at that.
I’ve already given you the chance.”
Ning Fan no longer needed an answer from Teng Huayang himself, as he had already obtained it from his behavior.
After leaving these words behind, Ning Fan turned and left, heading toward the dungeon where Teng Dong was held.
Yet Teng Huayang remained uneasy, never considering that even if Ning Fan obtained the method of controlling Gu Insects, he was merely an outsider to the art and fundamentally incapable of using it.
The now anxious Teng Huayang wasn’t thinking straight at all.
His pure worry was that if he couldn’t endure Ning Fan’s torment and divulged the method of controlling the Gu Insects, he would become a sinner of the Yunteng Family.
Then, even in death, he would have no face to meet the ancestors and forefathers of the Yunteng Family.
Ning Fan had no idea about the internal turmoil raging in Teng Huayang’s heart, nor the intense struggle he was enduring, and frankly, he didn’t care.
Even if he knew, he would just scoff at Teng Huayang’s foolishness.
Having confirmed that the Yunteng Family possessed the means to control Gu Insects from a distance, Ning Fan promptly made his way to Teng Dong’s cell, planning to also rid Teng Dong’s body of the Gu Insect.
He did not want his hostages, who were also his chess pieces, to mysteriously vanish one day, with regret coming too late.
However, Teng Dong did not welcome Ning Fan’s arrival.
Upon seeing that it was Ning Fan, Teng Dong’s expression immediately hardened.
If his martial prowess had not been completely sealed, he would have lunged forward to fight Ning Fan to the death right then and there.
“I’m actually here to help you, so don’t misunderstand!”
