After failing to protect Jiang Xiaobai once, Ao Cheng was incredibly serious about doing so again.
This time, he was making a special trip, asserting loudly that he was going to bring Jiang Xiaobai back home. This was not just to reassure Jiang Xiaobai that Ao Cheng had never forgotten him, but to inform the world that Jiang Xiaobai was his brother.
Anyone who dared to belittle Jiang Xiaobai would be Ao Cheng’s enemy. He warned them, the consequences would be severe!
The Evil Shadow Sect was the perfect example.
With this mindset, Ao Cheng stubbornly sought to find Jiang Xiaobai, no matter what, he had to bring him back.
Witnessing the determined expression on the man before her, Zhuang Huanling knitted her brows.
Was he insane?
Did he not know about the definite enmity between the ancient tribe and Dragon Valley?
“Ao Cheng, you need to show some restraint. Northern State is not the same as Eastern Province. This isn’t Dragon Valley’s territory, it belongs to the ancient tribe!”
After a pause, Zhuang Huanling chided coldly, “You’re on a suicide mission. Maybe Jiang Xiaobai has ample ways to escape and survive, but what about you?”
“I possess the power of the Dragon Clan. I am from Dragon Valley!”
Ao Cheng proudly stated, “Let me tell you, if those ancient tribe bastards dare to mess with me, Dragon Valley will avenge me, and my sister will never let them off the hook!”
At this moment, Ao Cheng was determined. He only had one thing on his mind: to travel to Northern State, find Jiang Xiaobai, and bring him back!
Leaving behind these words, Ao Cheng turned and left. He didn’t care about the thoughts of others in the hall.
Once outside, he reported the situation to the Dragon Clan guards and some senior elders. They were shocked and tried to dissuade him.
The ongoing tensions between Dragon Valley and the ancient tribe had slowly begun to ease, but his persisted actions due to Jiang Xiaobai only intensified the crisis.
Such an impulsive move at this time was a poor choice.
Everyone tried to dissuade Ao Cheng, but he was impatient and silenced them with a wave of his hand.
“Get lost, all of you. My trip to Northern State is decided!”
“If you dare, tell my father and my sister now. Let them come and take me back!”
With that cold remark, Ao Cheng himself started heading towards the Northern State at a brisk pace.
Without anyone accompanying him.
To put it in Ao Cheng’s words: if Jiang Xiaobai could travel alone, why couldn’t he? The presumptuous young master of Dragon Valley had his own pride!
No one could stop Ao Cheng. The Dragon Clan guards and elder experts naturally did not dare to contact Ao Cheng’s father and sister. They knew well that if these two got to know about Ao Cheng’s escape, the consequences would be severe.
Worse, they couldn’t hide this news.
“Gentlemen, how are we going to explain this?” an elder asked, turning to his peers.
“How else do we explain it other than to the chief now? He might understand our predicament. If we delay and something happens to Young Master Ao Cheng, the outcome will be dire,” another elder reluctantly spoke.
While they were discussing strategy, Zhuang Huanling and AnRan slowly emerged.
Looking at the direction Ao Cheng had left in, Zhuang Huanling shook her head and then turned to look at AnRan.
“Didn’t Jiang Xiaobai mention anything else when he left?”
“Yeah, he told me to take care of the Song siblings.”
Zhuang Huanling wished she could knock some sense into him.
In her view, though Jiang Xiaobai loved to cause trouble and seemed like a reckless man, in reality, he was very thoughtful. He would have surely left Anran with some veiled instructions under the existing circumstances. There was no way he would carelessly leave just like that.
Suddenly, Zhuang Huanling reached out, grabbed AnRan’s ear, and pulled it sharply upward. AnRan grimaced in pain and his cries pierced the tranquillity at the Anwu Family’s doorstep.
Weary of his screaming, many high-rank practitioners of the Anwu Family were drawn there. However, after the Dragon Valley people displayed their intimidating aura, they didn’t dare to intervene.
Not knowing what to do, AnRan had no choice but to compromise.
Once Zhuang Huanling found out what she wanted to know, she squinted her eyes and stood alone in the original spot, pondering.
Each sentence seemed mundane, but Zhuang Huanling felt that he was trying to imply something.
Suddenly, Zhuang Huanling’s eyes widened.
“Did Jiang Xiaobai say that he would be back in about a month?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that?”
“Damn, this guy is planning something big.”
Zhuang Huanling murmured. On hearing this, everyone was startled. They didn’t understand what conclusion Zhuang Huanling had based this statement on.
“Miss Zhuang, on what grounds are you insisting something?” asked Uncle Fu curiously.
Zhuang Huanling’s expression grew serious; effortlessly she pulled off her veil, revealing skin as smooth as a sheep’s fat jade.
“Even though I don’t know Jiang Xiaobai well, I do know that he always considers every possible escape route before he acts.”
“Even in the direst circumstances, he takes advantage of every last straw. So there’s no way he went to Northern State without leaving any hint.”
“According to Anran, the people from the Mountain of Demons planned to sell the news of him being here. Clearly, their target was the ancient tribe. Hence, if Jiang Xiaobai stayed, the ancient tribe would be lead here.”
“But what I am curious about is, how did he know we would come?”
Zhuang Huanling squinted her eyes. If she could figure this out, her suspicion would be confirmed.
“Well, of course, that’s easy. If they can sell the news to the ancient tribe, they can naturally sell it to Ao Cheng as well,” casually stated AnRan.
That one single sentence was enough to awaken Zhuang Huanling.
All became clear to her!
“Oh, this guy…He’s always been shrewd!”
Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth and declared, “He knew we’d come to Wuyang City. He knew we’d find you eventually, so he told you those things. He wants to use us as his reinforcement!”
“What do you mean?”
Nobody could comprehend what Zhuang Huanling was talking about.
“Oh good grief, he knows that Dragon Valley would take him seriously, so he purposely said he’d be back in a month. His underlying message was to have us back him up!”
“He’s on a mission for a big windfall this time.”
“If no one backs him up, he’s doomed!”
