Ao Zhantian looked gloomy.
“Is the plan still on? Does he not know, that Ao Yan is already a disciple of the
Martial Sea Immortal Venerable?”
“That’s the Second Elder of Jade Ling Palace, the Dragon Valley is now backed by Jade Ling Palace, how can this plan still be carried out?”
Speaking of it, Ao Zhantian was starting to get a headache.
He squinted his eyes, his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in the dense forest.
He looked profoundly annoyed.
“The ancestor suggests that we should ignore this, the plan can be carried out completely!”
The Tenth Elder hurriedly explained, “He instructed that as long as we marry Ao Yan to GuBei, it would be enough, he would handle the rest.”
“He will handle it! He will handle it!”
Ao Zhantian said discontentedly, “What does he know!? The situation in Dragon Valley has changed now, because of our undercover dealings with Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng, people are already unsatisfied with me, I can’t suppress them anymore!”
“This…”
The Tenth Elder looked shocked, “How is that possible, we have…”
“Are you sure that’s what the ancestor meant? Did he contact the Gu clan?”
“Yes, he has contacted them, the Gu clan is currently outsourcing the contract for buying Cleansing Pills, they will arrive in Dragon Valley in around half a month.” The Tenth Elder quickly nodded.
Afterward, Ao Zhantian was seen pacing back and forth with narrowed eyes, before he waved his hand and walked away without saying another word.
The two quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
Jiang Xiaobai, who had been secretly eavesdropping, was utterly shocked.
“Ao Zhantian’s ancestor? Isn’t that the role of Ao Yuanwu?”
Jiang Xiaobai was left feeling bewildered.
He had learned major secret information. Although he didn’t know what conspiracy or goals Ao Zhantian and the others had, there was no doubt that they had formed an alliance with the Gu clan.
So that is why they were so desperate to marry Ao Yan to GuBei!
Jiang Xiaobai was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Just now, he thought he might actually live through this, but now, it seemed the chance was slim.
The other party was obviously fully prepared.
And from the conversation of the two, the mastermind behind all of this, the ancestor, the ultimate goal was very likely to take the highest position in Dragon Valley.
Jiang Xiaobai really wanted to expose Ao Zhantian and the others, but he had no evidence to prove their collusion with the Gu clan.
Moreover, with his current status in Dragon Valley, even if he revealed it, people might not believe him.
Even more likely, he could expose himself, leading Ao Zhantian and the others to kill him at all costs.
First, they poisoned him, then they set up an ambush outside Dragon Valley. Jiang Xiaobai knew that if he made a mistake, their tactics would definitely be more than this.
They might even forcefully exchange his life for another!
“This is a lose-lose situation. I need to lay low for now. If I jump out now, the risk will be too great.” Jiang Xiaobai thought, before morphing back into a mosquito and left the dense forest.
“I need to find an opportunity, subtly leak this information, or lure someone from Dragon Valley here. That way, I can thwart their plans.”
As Jiang Xiaobai walked down the street, his brow furrowed and his mind in turmoil.
He already felt he was losing control of the current situation in Dragon Valley.
There was certainly a conspiracy behind Ao Zhantian.
Targeting Dragon Valley and himself.
In essence, in the midst of this conspiracy, Jiang Xiaobai was nothing but an insignificant being. He was so weak, his status so low, he was merely meat on the chopping block.
Lost in his thoughts, he quickly arrived at Ao Cheng’s residence, to his surprise, his own chambermaid was waiting at the door.
“Prince Consort, the Princess has asked for your immediate return.” The maid hastily explained.
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, didn’t Ao Yan want to have a private chat with the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable?
Although surprised, he didn’t mind being able to go home, so he immediately hurried back with the maid.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, the Martial Sea Immortal Venerable had already left, and Ao Yan was not sitting outside drinking tea. This somewhat relieved Jiang Xiaobai, at least showing that Ao Yan was in a good mood.
However, the reality proved that he was wrong.
He still didn’t understand women!
Because when he walked into the room, he found that crazy woman had moved and was now drinking tea in her own boudoir!
“What the hell!”
Jiang Xiaobai swore in his heart, but his expression remained calm.
“Did I hear you secretly tried to poison me?”
Ao Yan was looking at Jiang Xiaobai with a smirk, “You’re quite daring, that was the Nine Yin-Yang Pills, how much must you hate me to use such a vicious poison on me?”
Jiang Xiaobai quickly tried to explain with a forced smile, “I had no choice, if I didn’t say that, how would Ao Zhantian possibly let me go? If I died in prison, wouldn’t I be wronged to death?”
“You wouldn’t avenge me, and even if you did, what’s the use? I’d already be dead…”
He spoke casually, but for some reason, it made Ao Yan’s heart flutter.
A feeling called heartache began to brew in her heart!
She didn’t even know Jiang Xiaobai had been through such an ordeal, she had been meditating at that time!
As for revenge!
The moment Jiang Xiaobai spoke those words, not only was her heart throbbing in pain, she also wished she could kill Ao Zhantian!
Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai, although his tone was calm, she could hear his immense grievance.
She originally wanted to berate him for a bit, but her dissatisfaction had already dissipated.
“You… you weren’t hurt inside, were you?” After some thought, Ao Yan asked.
That question was unbearable for Jiang Xiaobai.
He abruptly lifted his head, looking at Ao Yan as if she were a ghost.
Not only that, but he also quickly leaped forward and placed his hand on Ao Yan’s forehead.
“Hissss, this is strange, you don’t have a fever?” “Could it be that people change after a breakthrough?”
“That’s not right, are you still Ao Yan?”
At this moment, Ao Yan’s expression was dark as water, and her gaze was gradually becoming fierce.
Feeling the goosebump-inducing murderous aura, Jiang Xiaobai immediately lifted his hand, hastily breaking into a grin.
“Well… ’twas a surprise. After all, it was really unexpected for you to suddenly show concern, I was pleasantly surprised.”
Ao Yan glanced at Jiang Xiaobai impatiently, her feelings of concern had already been chased away by Jiang Xiaobai’s jokes!
“You really don’t know how to behave!”
Ao Yan teased.
“Do you think just because I’m now at a new level of cultivation, you can be saved? And so, you’re starting to act presumptuously?” “No, not at all, I wouldn’t dare to act presumptuously.” Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly explained, feeling quite depressed.
Women are such strange creatures.
A breakthrough in cultivation is a great event, it should be a joyous occasion, right?
Why does Ao Yan seem to be on edge, looking as though she’s quite irritated with him?
It’s strange indeed!
“Hmph, do you know what my master said today? He said you’re nothing but a man lacking in learning and skills, just a mortal, and told me to drive you away!”
Ao Yan huffed, “What do you say, should I drive you away or not? Or should I take some other measures?”
“Nevertheless, I did say I would keep you alive and I will do it..”
