388: Chapter 388 Never Leave, Never Betray (3)
An Yiqing was unaware of what Duan Tang had in mind, but after hearing his words, she could fully picture the whimsical appearance of the old trickster Duan Yuntian.
“Please relay a ssage to Grandpa Duan for , I’ll visit him after this busy period.
Also, Grandpa has agreed to throw a hocoming banquet for , and you and Grandpa Duan must attend,” she said.
Duan Tang nodded, “Of course!
Once the ti and place are set, you must tell
straight away!
I’ll need to prepare a generous gift!”
An Yiqing’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she shook her head and chuckled lightly, “What’s all this fuss about a generous gift?
As long as you and these friends show up, that will be more than enough for .
By the way, how’s the Muyun Society been recently?”
“Nothing major.
Xiong Tian died a while back and the Canglang Sect had you brought into the police station.
I wasn’t pleased with their thods, so I surreptitiously interfered a bit.
Recently, Tan Bing may have caught onto , and he’s in a hurry to retaliate.
But it’s nothing serious—the Muyun Society is too well-established to fall,” Duan Tang said with a slight smile, brushing over the matter.
An Yiqing was no fool.
Though Duan Tang spoke lightly, the strife in jianghu was a matter of life and death, and bloodshed was inevitable.
“I didn’t realize that this trouble started because of .” She felt sowhat moved, not expecting that Duan Tang would go so far as to offend the Canglang Sect on her account.
“It’s not entirely because of you.
I’ve wanted to get involved with the Canglang Sect for so ti now.
I just took the opportunity of your being frad to make so moves.
You have no reason for guilt,” Duan Tang shook his head, ntioning it casually.
An Yiqing understood which parts of Duan Tang’s words were true and which were false.
Since he didn’t want her to feel burdened, she decided to act as though she didn’t know.
There were many ways to assist a friend; she could offer her support discreetly when the ti ca.
However…
There were so things she needed to remind him of.
“Be cautious of the Canglang Sect, especially Tan Bing.
He’s not simple,” An Yiqing paused before continuing, “So days ago, my ho was attacked by an ancient martial artist.”
Duan Tang was alard and his expression turned grave.
“Were you hurt?
Is your family alright?”
An Yiqing shook her head, speaking with lingering fear, “I wasn’t ho at the ti.
If it weren’t for my master arriving promptly, the consequences would have been unthinkable.”
“Elder Ye is back?” Duan Tang was shocked again, “How co I haven’t heard anything?”
“My master didn’t want the word to get out.
He ca back secretly, didn’t even return to the dicine Sect, and went straight to my house,” An Yiqing explained, “Duan Tang, be careful with Tan Bing.
I suspect that the attackers in black who assaulted my ho this ti and those who attacked you previously were all sent by him.
Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, Tan Bing likely has connections with the Country Bai Tutian Family.”
Duan Tang’s alarm bells rang at An Yiqing’s words.
He vividly rembered the night of the attack a few months ago when the assailants in black seed insensible to pain, desperately charging forward.
If the girl’s suspicion was correct, what secrets could Tan Bing be hiding?
“Alright, thank you for the warning.
Your words have given
a lot to think about; I need to go back to the society to rearrange so things.
I must leave now, and do visit Grandpa when you have the ti,” Duan Tang stood up, bid a quick farewell, and hurriedly left.
An Yiqing watched as Duan Tang’s figure disappeared into the distance, her eyes filled with solemnity.
She looked up at the darkening sky, sensing a storm approaching!
…
After Duan Tang’s departure, An Yiqing went into the main hall of the orphanage, where Ah Yi and twelve others were sitting, waiting for her.
“Miss, are you alright?” They rushed eagerly to greet her as she entered and seeing she was unhard, they visibly relaxed.
An Yiqing, with a smile that was part amusent and part exasperation, told them, “He’s my friend; he wouldn’t hurt .
You don’t need to worry.”
