Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1214: Former Assassin

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Forr Assassin

Upon learning that several other families had sent armies to support Ye You in seizing Biyun City, Tian Xiaozi’s face revealed a sinister smile of a plot succeeding.

The army is dispatched, leaving the camp vulnerable; it’s the perfect ti for slaughter. Just kill everyone loyal to Ye You and see who Ye You can turn to for support as the Sage Ruler!

Even if he can’t beco the final winner, he won’t let Ye You have things his way. He wants the entire Demon Sacred Realm to accompany the end of an era in burial.

Another late night, Tian Xiaozi conspired with ng Yu, and then quietly left Biyun City, returning to Wang City to mobilize forces, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the families sending large troops to Biyun City.

At the sa ti, Shuo Yi led most of the Jin Gang family’s troops, and Lian Li led the majority of the Phantom Spirit family’s troops to Wang City, joining Tian Xiaozi, ready to attack other families together.

Only a few thousand troops were left in Biyun City, under the command of Lie Feng and ng Yu. Biyun City was already a shell, but ng Yu carefully maintained a formidable facade. The walls were densely lined with guards in armor, seemingly still boasting countless soldiers ready to defend Biyun City.

Troops from the Panhu family, Changkong family, Zhulu family, ilan Family, and Qingming family arrived at Biyun City one after another. The commanders ca to pay respects to Ye You, and Ye You held a small banquet to welco the troops from the five families and discuss battle strategies.

At the banquet, Ye You intentionally let Qin Sisi sit on his right side, interacting closely with her.

When the commanders of each family ca forward to greet, besides bowing to Ye You, they also paid respects to Qin Sisi.

The first four families did so, but when it was the Qingming family’s turn, Ge Lun’s face was expressionless; he only greeted Ye You and then turned to leave, only to be stopped by Ye You.

"Chief Gelun, did you forget sothing?" Ye You took a sip of his wine, speaking calmly and slowly.

Ge Lun’s face turned livid, his mouth tightly shut, refusing to speak.

"Chief Gelun is getting old and his mory isn’t great, isn’t there soone who can remind him?" Ye You’s face also darkened.

"Chief Gelun, His Highness is already betrothed to Ms. Qin; shouldn’t you greet the future princess?" Yi Rou’s voice was as sweet as ever, yet in Ge Lun’s ear, it was exceedingly grating.

"Chief Gelun might have forgotten. It’s okay to correct it now." Yun Wang said earnestly.

"Is it because Chief Gelun is old and experienced, having the privilege not to salute the princess?" Ah Xia’s expression was naive, yet her words fanned the flas.

"No, no, hierarchy should not be disrupted. Even the most experienced must salute His Highness and the princess. How could Chief Gelun not understand this principle?" Jun Ying very "considerately" tried to excuse Ge Lun.

Ge Lun was so angry he almost walked away, but he couldn’t. Defying Ye You in front of everyone would be the most unwise action.

Ge Lun took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, turned, and bowed to Qin Sisi, quietly saying, "Greetings, Ms. Qin."

Ye You frowned, just about to say sothing when Qin Sisi grabbed his hand, softly saying, "Let it go."

Ye You glanced at her with tenderness and apology, then gloomily waved at Ge Lun, signaling him to leave.

Ge Lun straightened up, lifted his head, and for a brief mont, his gaze t Qin Sisi’s. He imdiately looked away, a hint of discomfort flashing across his face.

Qin Sisi also lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes covering the fleeting hatred in her eyes.

At night, Ye You drew Qin Sisi, who was preparing to sleep, into his arms and asked softly, "Are you hiding sothing from ?"

Qin Sisi raised her eyes to et his: "I don’t understand what you an."

Ye You sighed softly, clutching her chin, saying, "Ya Ling is indeed capricious and foolish, but Ge Lun is cunning. His behavior alone isn’t sufficient for you to hate him."

They’ve been together for so long, even a slight expression discrepancy was noted by Ye You.

"Why hide it from ? Afraid I can’t protect you?" Ye You’s eyes showed a hint of hurt; from the day he decided to bring Qin Sisi to the Demon Sacred Realm, he was prepared to spare no effort to protect her, regardless of how formidable the challenges they faced.

Qin Sisi quickly explained, "No, don’t overthink it; it’s just that I’m not certain."

"Not certain?" This prompted Ye You to realize sothing, "Is it about that black-clad person who ambushed you at Taiyi Mountain?"

Qin Sisi’s expression montarily froze, realizing she ultimately couldn’t hide it from Ye You, she had to admit, "I thought he was deliberately concealing his identity because he used various magic skills, but after he was poisoned, the defense skill he employed was Ice Magic."

In tense and chaotic situations, one is more likely to reveal their true nature.

"So you suspect he is from the Qingming family, trying to position Ya Ling as the Holy Queen. Ge Lun indeed might do this, and injuring you to such an extent suggests strong magic power, only Ge Lun and his elders could achieve this; yet Ge Lun acts carefully, he surely doesn’t want others to know, so the likelihood of him acting personally is the greatest." Ye You finished the unspoken words of Qin Sisi.

Qin Sisi bit her lip, slowly nodding her head.

"You knew I currently need people, and while the Qingming family covets the Holy Queen position, they are loyal to , so you hid it from , fearing it would affect my relationship with the Qingming family." Ye You, already exceedingly intelligent, understood Qin Sisi’s intention after thinking it through.

Qin Sisi still didn’t speak, she simply buried her head in Ye You’s arms and held his waist tightly.

Ye You’s expression grew colder and his eyes seed to be freezing over.

After a long while, he sighed, hugged Qin Sisi tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Silly, what should I do with you?"

Qin Sisi snuggled beside Ye You, lifted her head to ask, "What do you plan to do now?"

Ye You replied in a cold voice, "Not doing yourself any good, intent to harm the princess equates to rebellion. This matter won’t just be let go, but first, we need to confirm whether that black-clad man is indeed him."

Qin Sisi paused then said, "Snake venom is the world’s deadliest poison; he was bitten on the calf by . Even if he used elixirs and healing skills to heal the wound, it would leave a mark, albeit a shallow one, hard to notice without careful inspection."

Hearing Qin Sisi had a way, Ye You felt relieved. This matter was grave; he needed certainty.

Truth be told, he hoped that black-clad man wasn’t Ge Lun, as the Qingming family was his mother’s maternal family, and Ya Ning had a life-saving grace towards him.

But if Ge Lun indeed attacked Qin Sisi, he would ensure Ge Lun paid the price.
