Chapter 1297: Soone is Protecting Her
Yue Ling’s expression finally changed. “When did you find out?”
Cen Yi said nonchalantly, “That’s not important. The important thing is that I already know. Now, I’m asking you for the last ti: are you lending your people or not?”
The two of them stared at each other, and the air froze inch by inch.
They silently faced each other. Finally, Yue Ling was the first to break the silence. “This matter is important. Of course, I’m lending you my people. Just tell how many you need.”
Cen Yi’s eyes finally curved up into a satisfied smile. “Thank you.”
The originally tense atmosphere between the duo silently disappeared!
After settling so details, the two of them officially started their cooperation. The entire process took less than 15 minutes.
Cen Yi stood up. “Thank you for your help. I still have sothing on, so I’ll make a move first.”
“Hold on,” Yue Ling called him and still seed very curious. “What... else do you know?”
Even Chu Liuyue didn’t know that she was His Grace’s person, yet the head of the Thirteen Yue Guard, Cen Yi, knew. This is too weird. Yue Ling couldn’t figure it out. Cen Yi’s gaze—which seed like it could see through everything—couldn’t stop him from suspecting that Cen Yi knew many secrets.
...
Cen Yi paused and looked up slightly. “More than you think.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
Yue Ling opened his mouth, but he discovered that the person had already left.
...
Fairy Water Mound.

Inside the room, Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the letter in her hands in disbelief. She knew every single word on it, but when they joined together, she didn’t understand what it ant. All the troops were destroyed... Continuously assassinated... Nobody ca back alive... W-what does this an?! The ones sent over were clearly the most outstanding subordinates in the Jiang family. How could all of them die in a small Country Yao Chen, not to ntion that they didn’t find out any information at all! So many people were even lost!
Due to her anger, her body trembled slightly. Then, she suddenly stood up and swiped all the items on the table to the floor!
Pilihuala!
“Zhiyuan, what exactly are you doing?!” Jiang Hetian—who had just walked to the door—was caught off-guard by the outburst and imdiately hollered.
Seeing the ground filled with debris and the furious Jiang Zhiyuan, he first turned around to look at the subordinates. They very sensibly lowered their heads and left, even closing the door properly.
Jiang Hetian walked over with large strides. “What’s going on? Why did you throw such a huge temper?”
As he spoke, he already noticed the letter in Jiang Zhiyuan’s hands and imdiately took it to read.
It was fine if he didn’t read it, but now that he did, his expression instantly changed. “H-how did this happen?!”
As he was shocked, his tone beca shrill.
Jiang Zhiyuan’s eyes turned red as she clenched her fists tightly and clamped down on her teeth. “I told you that there’s a problem! In the small Country Yao Chen, it’s rare to even see a stage-nine warrior. How could anyone be our people’s match? Soone must be defending against us in secret! It’s most likely that b*tch’s people!”
Other than her, who else can it be? Previously, I already felt that it wasn’t simple, and it indeed seems like the case! If she isn’t guilty, why does she need to do this?!
Jiang Hetian read the letter many tis and furrowed his brows tightly. “No matter if it’s her, it doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing is that it proves that she’s definitely not soone with no background. And from the contents of the letter, it seems like there are two parties of people protecting her in secret. The person behind these two parties is worth investigating...”
Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her teeth, suddenly looked at him, and said, “Father, we were negligent before, so we ended up in such a state. This ti, we’ll send more people over, and we’ll choose the stronger ones! I don’t believe they can still do this!”
“You still want to go?” However, Jiang Hetian disagreed with her suggestion. “Zhiyuan, we already suffered a great loss this ti. If you send more people, and the sa thing happens again, what should we do? You need to know that there are so people with quite a high status amongst them. How should I explain it to the family clan later on?”
He was the clan leader, and he did have power, but great power also ca with great responsibility. He could randomly find a reason for the damage and hide it this ti, but what if it happened again?
As this matter was extrely private, he sent the people he trusted the most. With this battle, he suddenly lost so many of them, and his heart ached as well!
“Father, what do you an? Do you want to just give up and not investigate?” Jiang Zhiyuan was in disbelief. “We suffered such a great loss, yet you decided to just let it go?”
“I don’t an that. Zhiyuan, you can’t just look at what’s in front. You need to consider the big picture!” Jiang Hetian nagged at her. “They’re in the light, and we’re in the dark, yet we were completely destroyed this ti around... This shows that the other party isn’t one to be trifled with! I think we should first investigate the other party’s background...”
Jiang Zhiyuan sneered. “Check their background? Wasn’t the first group of people going over to do this? What happened in the end?”
Jiang Hetian was at a loss for words.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyuan’s attitude was persistent, he kept the letter and bood, “You’re not to be unruly about this. You must listen to ! After a while, we can discuss this again! Also, you’ve stayed at ho long enough. It’s ti to return to the academy, right?”
When Jiang Zhiyuan heard the first half of the sentence, she still wanted to argue. But when she heard the second half, she suddenly fell silent.
She turned around, and there was her usual stubbornness and willfulness in her voice. “I don’t want to go back.”
