The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1394

What should I do now? Jiang Zhiyuan tried her best to rack her brains, but she hopelessly realized that she was at a dead end! Elder Hua Feng took action first, so it's inevitable that Liang Xiaoxiao had a preconceived notion when she heard his words. Thus, she thought that everything was my fault. But… the real culprits are those people from Lingyun Mountain! Besides, I'm not the only one who stood at the side to watch. Why did Liang Xiaoxiao push all the blame on me?

"Xiaoxiao, you really misunderstood! I-I didn't have a choice back then!" Jiang Zhiyuan covered her face, and blood slowly seeped out from the corner of her mouth. "With just me alone, how can I be those people's match?!"

Liang Xiaoxiao took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Zhiyuan's collar, her eyes turning red. "Those people? Who are they?!"

"They're…" Jiang Zhiyuan was about to say it when she saw Elder Hua Feng looking at her from the corner of her eyes. She raised her brows slightly and revealed an extremely faint smile.

A chill then ran down her spine. No! I can't say it! If the two words 'Lingyun Mountain' come out of my mouth, Lingyun Mountain will definitely take revenge on me in the future! That is a true top-tier aristocratic family! Not to mention me, even the entire Fairy Water Mound isn't the other party's match! I definitely can't get into that trouble!

"I-I don't know either…" The intense bloody aura filled Jiang Zhiyuan's mouth, causing her to be nauseous. "Back then… they all had disguises on… Hence, I couldn't recognize them…"

Thump!

Liang Xiaoxiao threw Jiang Zhiyuan to the ground. Although she wasn't as capable as Jiang Zhiyuan, the latter was at her wits' end at this point and didn't even have the strength to retaliate. Thus, Jiang Zhiyuan could only be humiliated by the other party.

Liang Xiaoxiao's chest heaved up and down violently, clearly still enraged. She pointed at Jiang Zhiyuan and laughed sinisterly. "Good! Good! Jiang Zhiyuan, I've finally seen through you today! From today onward, I—Liang Xiaoxiao—and the entire Liang family will be sworn enemies with you!"

Jiang Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat. What would be the outcome of being targeted by a top-tier aristocratic family?

She knew without even having to think!

However, Elder Hua Feng and the rest clearly directed this. What has it got to do with me? At that time, the people present didn't even take action— Suddenly, a white light flashed across Jiang Zhiyuan's heart.

She abruptly realized something. Liang Xiaoxiao did it on purpose! Growing up in such a top-tier aristocratic family and being loved by all, Liang Xiaoxiao clearly isn't as stupid as she seems. She is extremely intelligent! She knows that the academy should definitely be involved in this, but she doesn't want to be the academy's enemy.

Besides, the academy is known for its high and aloof status in the God Residence Realm as it has never interfered with the aristocratic families. It is reasonable that they would do this, but someone must be responsible for this. Then… I, Jiang Zhiyuan, became the scapegoat!

In this case, Liang Xiaoxiao can maintain a stable relationship with the academy and avenge Liang Shaokang, so why not?

Jiang Zhiyuan wanted to support herself to stand up, but after a few tries, she realized that her body was trembling violently. How did things end up in this state… I clearly had the upper hand earlier, and now—

Elder Hua Feng finally spoke slowly. "Xiaoxiao, you really can't blame her for this. Even though your brother begged her for a long time, you can also imagine that she was also injured back then. How could she help your brother?"

Jiang Zhiyuan wanted to go up and shred Elder Hua Feng's mouth! Stop talking! Does he think I'm not miserable enough?! If this continues, how am I supposed to have a standing in the God Residence Realm?

"Don't worry. Before I investigate this matter clearly, I won't do anything to her." A cold gleam flashed across Liang Xiaoxiao's eyes. But after I investigate it clearly, it won't be easy to say!

Jiang Zhiyuan's heart was numb. In this situation, what else can I do…

Suddenly, she looked up, looked past the group, and saw the tall man in black. I'm afraid only he can help me now!

"Your Highness!" Jiang Zhiyuan used all her strength to yell out loud as two streams of tears fell down her face.

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly stood up and rushed over. Although she was staggering, she wasn't considered slow.

As it was too sudden, she had already rushed out for quite a distance when the crowd recovered their senses.

Elder Hua Feng's face turned cold. He took a step forward and blocked Jiang Zhiyuan as he scolded, "Jiang Zhiyuan, are you crazy?!"

Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't go past him and was anxious. Her voice became even shriller. "Your Highness, say something! Can you really bear to watch all of this happen? Fairy Water Mound is still one of the 28 divisions under you. If you don't care about me, you still have to do it for the clan's sake!"

The crowd looked at Rong Xiu.

Jiang Zhiyuan's words made sense.

Fairy Water Mound was the strongest and had the deepest background out of all the divisions in the Sky-Cloud Empire, and Jiang Zhiyuan was the apple of Jiang Hetian's eye. If Rong Xiu really wanted to put in a good word for her… everyone had to give him face.

Rong Xiu first glanced at the person in his arms.

A faint trace had appeared in Chu Liuyue's brows, and her lashes moved slightly as if she had dreamed of something uneasy.

Rong Xiu hugged her tighter, turned around, and looked up slightly. That pair of clear and deep phoenix-like eyes had stunning coldness in them.

A chill was sent down Jiang Zhiyuan's spine from this glance.

She opened her mouth. Her sharp and shrill voice suddenly became much weaker. "Your Highness…"

"You disturbed his sleep," said Rong Xiu coldly.
