Although such comfort brings a sense of security, Jiang Xiaobai deeply understood that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, one can only rely on oneself, and only with one’s own strength can one have the qualification to protect their life.

Jiang Xiaobai could not pin all his hopes on others., He couldn’t help but take out the “Meandering Veins Record”. The two things in it may be his biggest trump card.

Unless there is no other way, Jiang Xiaobai will not activate the skill of tearing everything down at the cost of his own life.

After standing in a daze for a moment, Jiang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders. If that was the case, he would just leave it for now.

At this moment, Ao Yan suddenly came back.

“Follow me to the Dragon Palace; I have something to explain to you.”

She promptly led Jiang Xiaobai to the Dragon Palace.

Ao Wan was sitting in his chair wearing a stern face, a cup of hot tea was placed in front of him.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Wan said calmly: “Jiang Xiaobai, you’d better always stay with the third elder and don’t go out unless you have to. Also, don’t look for Yan’er, your life is at stake. Understand?”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. Then Ao Wan admonished him about some other things, basically implying that nothing dangerous would happen to him in Long Valley.

Just as he was about to leave, the sound of hurried footsteps reached his ears, and he heard a man shout in an unclear voice.

“Let me go! Do you fucking have no respect for me? Let go of me!”

Then he saw Ao Cheng being escorted in by a few men dressed in Long Valley guard uniforms, and Ao Cheng’s face was black and blue, making it apparent that he had been beaten.

“Let go, let go!”

Ao Cheng, with eyes wide open, roared at a guard, and then the guards finally let him go, simultaneously showing a bitter smile at Ao Cheng. “Please understand us, Young Master, it’s the clan leader’s order.”

“Humph, a bunch of cowards.”

Ao Cheng snorted coldly, delivering a kick to one of the guards as a way of venting his anger. Then Jiang Xiaobai saw him stand in the great hall with his head held high and swollen face.

“Unfilial son, do you know what you are doing!”

Seeing Ao Cheng, Ao Wan was so angry that he couldn’t find a place to vent his anger. He clenched his fists; if it wasn’t for the fact Ao Cheng was his son, he would have slapped him to death.

“I didn’t do anything.”

Ao Cheng swayed leisurely: “Dad, you can’t frame me without evidence. Do you have any?”

“Is this how you talk to your father?”

Ao Wan shook his body with anger and threw the teacup in front of him at Ao Cheng.

“Cut it out, Dad. Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me. I was in TianYuan City all last night, I have an alibi.” Ao Cheng ducked the teacup, still appearing the same.

“Rebellious son, rebellious son!”

Ao Wan yelled in anger, pointing at Ao Cheng’s nose and scolding: “Do you think I’m a fool? All your so-called alibi witnesses are under your control. Who would believe you? If this isn’t related to you, would I believe it?”

“Do you know the impact this has on Long Valley? Yesterday our negotiation with the Gu tribe was already unpleasant, are you trying to force them to the brink?”

Ao Cheng’s face was nonchalant as he even picked his nose: “Can the Gu tribe go to war with our Long Valley, don’t make me laugh.”

Slap!

Ao Wan slapped Ao Cheng on his head in anger. Ao Cheng, covering his head, looked shocked.

“Dad, why did you hit me? Isn’t it obvious that the Gu tribe does not dare to fight us?”

Ao Wan scoffed: “Do you still think that the Gu tribe is the same as twenty years ago? Their strength now exceeds ours. And because of your sister’s matter, Long Valley is already at a disadvantage. Now that the other side is truly desperate, Long Valley faces danger, do you understand?!” By the end of his speech, Ao Wan was practically bellowing.

Ao Cheng was full of shock, disbelief written across his face.

“Impossible, That bunch of bastards from the Gu tribe, how could they be better than our Long Valley?”

“Besides, my sister is now a disciple of the Jade Ling Palace, even if the GuBei tribe had several times the courage…”

Ao Cheng hurriedly raised his point.

At this time, a cold voice came from the side.

“There’s nothing impossible about it. Currently, the Gu Tribe is indeed stronger than Long Valley.”

The cold comment came from Ao Yan.

“Sis, you’re not boasting about someone else’s capabilities while belittling our own, are you?” Ao Cheng mumbled.

Slap!

Ao Yan crossed the gap between them with a stride and slapped Ao Cheng across the face. This time Ao Cheng didn’t utter a sound, he just kept his head down.

Obviously, the only one who could keep Ao Cheng in line was Ao Yan.

“If you would’ve used the energy you spend on these petty tactics on cultivating yourself, even if you couldn’t divide the gods, you would at least be in the late stage of transcendence. Look at your current state, the middle stage of Yuan Infant. You dare to call yourself my brother?” Ao Yan’s face was cold.

“Didn’t I just…” Ao Cheng mumbled.

“Shut up!” Ao Wan exclaimed.

Subsequently, Ao Yan turned with her father towards the side where Jiang Xiaobai was standing, causing his body to stiffen, and a bright sunny smile appeared on his face.

“You swiftly go to the Third Elder, Gu Bei will arrive soon. Their demeanor towards you won’t be friendly.” Ao Yan cast a glance at Jiang Xiaobai.

“That’s right, you are a mortal after all, but now you are associated with Long Valley, not matter what. Long Valley can despise you, but we don’t allow anyone else to despise Long Valley’s people!”

Ao Cheng suddenly raised his head, thumping his chest and shouted: “Don’t worry, I will protect you!”

“Shut up,” Ao Yan glared at Ao Cheng with a look of exasperation, then hesitated for a bit but eventually walked up to Jiang Xiaobai.

Ao Yan took out a storage ring: “Regardless, these grudges with the Gu Tribe started because of me. If things get difficult, I’ll have the third elder send you away from Long Valley. The resources in this storage ring will be enough for you to cultivate till the golden pill stage. By then, find a location where no one knows you and start anew.”

As she said those words, a faint sense of guilt and regret could be seen in her eyes.

Not to mention sadness.

Her heart was inexplicably in pain, as if someone had stabbed a sword into it, making it difficult for her to breathe!

Of course, this is only if things get difficult.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly, and didn’t take the storage ring from

Ao Yan’s hand.

“Why?” Ao Yan arched an eyebrow.

“Nothing special. There’s no need for that. Although there has been disagreement in the past, now Long Valley has shown sincerity towards me. I can’t just run away.”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “I’m just a mortal, worth just one life, at worst I’ll die. I wouldn’t live that long anyway.”

Upon hearing this, the hall descended into silence.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xiaobai, their faces full of shock, especially Ao Cheng, his eyes started to gleam.

“Good brother, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!” Ao Cheng exclaimed, breaking the silence.

However, Ao Yan just looked at Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes red.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back.

Ao Yan had a different feeling in her heart. She found herself looking at Jiang Xiaobai more fondly.

“Regardless, you should go to the Third Elder first. About the matters here…’ Ao Cheng had just started speaking when a group of people came from outside.

The Gu Clan had arrived, led by the son with the greatest talent in the Gu Clan. GuBei..
