Chapter 1158 - 1158 370 Murder is Guilty Felling Trees is Justifiable
1158: Chapter 370: Murder is Guilty, Felling Trees is Justifiable 1158: Chapter 370: Murder is Guilty, Felling Trees is Justifiable “Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang!” Qiao Lin urgently sent his voice message, “Quickly look at the right side of the stand, there’s a peerless beauty!Trust me, even though her face is covered, she is definitely a great beauty.”
Do you not realize that your voice transmission, to a True Man, is as clear as the beating of a drum, with not a bit of secrecy?
Lord Jiang Wangyi sternly rebuked, “Watch what?
Focus on your match!”
Qiao Lin shut his mouth, looking wronged.
This Lord Jiang is too fickle!
Last time with the Princess of Mugu, didn’t you blame me for not telling you?
Now that I’ve told you, you’ve become all serious!
Jiang Wang maintained a stern face while gazing at the stands, displaying utmost propriety.
He was a man who could take advice.
He would never grovel when he was alone and helpless, nor would he become arrogant now that he had the backing of a powerful country.
Lingxiao Pavilion had always protected Jiang Anan, allowing him to travel the world without worries and rapidly improve his strength, and he was nothing but grateful.
The esteemed True Man had “suggested” that he keep his sister’s whereabouts a secret from the officials of Zhuang Country, and he naturally took heed.
In fact, after giving it some thought, he realized he might have been a bit rash.
Not to mention that the Yellow River Gathering had not ended, and it was still uncertain what rank he would ultimately achieve.
Even if he truly emerged as the champion and became famous throughout the lands, he was determined to take his sister to Qi Country, so there was no need to worry about Zhuang Gaoxian.
Yet, given his inevitable enmity with Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui, wouldn’t Zhuang Country harbor animosity against Yun Country for Lingxiao Pavilion’s overt protection of him?
Even if Lingxiao Pavilion did not fear them, how could he peaceably bring trouble to Lingxiao Pavilion?
Thus, maintaining some distance from Ye Qingyu in public was the right decision.
Thinking carefully, it was only during his first visit to Yun City that he had appeared in public with An’an, and Ye Qingyu had torn through the “Heavenly Curtain” to welcome them.
But at that time, his hair was white, completely different from today.
After that, whenever he took An’an to Yun Country for fun, they had their appearances concealed.
In Qi Country, aside from Zhongxuan Sheng, he had not told anyone about An’an, keeping the information about his sister well protected.
Even Xiang Qian had been informed only after leaving Qi Country…
Wait.
Jiang Wang suddenly recalled that when he had been cornered near the Qi Chang Mountain Range by Du Ruhui, it was Ye Lingxiao who had helped him to escape.
That meant, if Du Ruhui saw him today, he would definitely guess that he had some connection with Lingxiao Pavilion.
Would the fact that his sister was in Lingxiao Pavilion still be kept from Du Ruhui then?
What a cunning and shrewd person Du was; how could he overlook this point?
In this respect, the advice from True Man Ye to “protect your sister from being discovered by the officials of Zhuang Country” didn’t seem very sound.
However, being the True Man of the Age, Pavilion Master Ye must have had his reasons for saying so, right?
Perhaps there was something I did not know, or maybe I am not yet enlightened enough to comprehend the will of a True Man…
Jiang Wang thought quietly to himself, but indeed, he did not glance again in the direction of Ye Lingxiao and his daughter.
Meanwhile, in the seats opposite, True Man Ye gracefully engaged with the higher-ups from various regions, discussing a variety of issues with a high-minded and vast approach that commanded respect.
The battle of the proud elites was but a nominal event; the main purpose was to discuss partnerships.
Those who had no intention of striving for glory at the Yellow River Gathering came specifically to witness the event, naturally with their own agendas.
The particulars of the merchant convoy matters were handled by the high-level officials of Yun Country.
He was merely communicating with the influential figures of the smaller countries to align the intentions of the upper echelons.
Nevertheless, for the grand Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion, True Man Ye, multitasking was a trivial matter.
Thus, a voice transmission also rang in his daughter’s ear at the same time—
“You consider him a friend, are so concerned about him, and have helped him so much, yet he doesn’t even glance your way.
Sigh, your father isn’t trying to incite trouble, but this lad doesn’t seem to cut it!”
Ye Qingyu appeared to be seriously watching the battles on the platform but replied via voice transmission, “Question!”
“Ask away.”
“Who is more childish, the Lord of Lingxiao Pavilion or Uncle A-Chou?”
“That’s definitely A-Chou…
What do you mean?
Childish?
Where am I being childish!”
“You figure it out yourself.”
“Childish, where?
No, you have to make it clear to me.
I, Ye Lingxiao, who travels the world with authority and is the lord of a pavilion, where am I childish?”
Ye Qingyu quietly stood up and shifted a few seats to the side, still focusing on the fights happening below, without responding further.
Ye Lingxiao sighed deeply in his heart.
Looking over at the core figures of the small countries beside him, he began to feel somewhat listless.
But he was not the type to let personal feelings take precedence over the interests of his sect, and he continued to handle the situation with grace and decorum.
Just then…
A voice of rebuke suddenly sounded in Jiang Wang’s ear, “Be careful!”
The pride of Daqi, Jiang Qingyang was secretly alarmed, not sure what had happened, and hurriedly replied via voice transmission, “Lord Pavilion Master, what’s happened?”
“Nothing, I’m just telling you to be careful.
Du Ruhui is also at Guanhe Platform today, and that old man is no easy opponent.”
Jiang Wang expressed his thanks repeatedly, “I understand, I will be careful.
Thank you for the guidance, True Man Ye.”
He waited a moment, and once True Man Ye did not respond further, he calmed his anxious heart.
An’an had not accompanied Ye Lingxiao to Guanhe Platform, a fact which made Jiang Wang breathe a sigh of relief but also left him feeling a bit disappointed.
He didn’t want An’an to see him fighting for life and death, so he didn’t mention his participation in the Yellow River Gathering in his letters to her, only chatting briefly with Ye Qingyu.
Yet, if An’an could truly come and witness his moment of glory, he would have been very happy.
