Long Ya could not understand Jiang Ping An's actions at all.
This man could clearly have chosen to seek refuge with Lan Xuanhe and become Lan Xuanhe's disciple. That way, not only would he not have to face danger, but he would also have a bright future.
Yet he had chosen the most dangerous path, rejected Lan Xuanhe, and helped the Dragon Family secure a slot to continue participating in the Artifact-Law Exchange Banquet.
In anyone's eyes, that was the act of a fool.
"Why did you take such a huge risk to help our Dragon Family? Just because my father once guided you?"
"That is only one reason. The main reason is that your Dragon Family intends to help Princess Lan Shi'er." Jiang Ping An put away the black jade slip.
A look of obvious confusion appeared on Long Ya's face. "You did it to help Princess Lan? Do you know Princess Lan?"
"More or less."
Jiang Ping An rose to his feet. "Right now, what you should be focusing on is not why I helped your Dragon Family, but what your Dragon Family should do next."
At the mention of this matter, Long Ya's eyes filled with regret and pain.
"I never thought the upper ranks of the Lan Clan Royal Family would discover it. Had I known, I should have done it more discreetly. Now, I plan to pretend to fall out with my family and take all responsibility upon myself."
She had completely underestimated the Lan Clan Royal Family's intelligence-gathering capabilities and placed the Dragon Family in danger.
Jiang Ping An shook his head. "It is useless."
"Why?"
"Those people sitting high above may be arrogant, conceited, and vile, but they are not stupid. They understand the principle of cutting the grass and eliminating the roots.
