Return to the Capital, the Yang Family Admits Defeat?
Meanwhile, in Capital, the Yang Family...
An extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the area.
"Have you contacted them yet?"
In the hall, Old Master Yang Family frowned, his cloudy eyes filled with displeasure.
Beside him, a middle-aged man, around forty or fifty years old and dressed as a butler, bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
"Old Master, I have already sent people to investigate the young master's whereabouts, and we will have results soon."
The words had barely left his mouth when footsteps sounded.
Seeing the Yang Family servants rushing over, the middle-aged man slowly asked, "How is the situation?"
"We found out. The young master went to Jiang Cheng, and his two trusted subordinates went with him."
The servant of the Yang Family swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then forced himself to speak.
"However, so far, we still haven't been able to contact a single person."
After saying that, he instinctively shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
These words made the atmosphere even more suffocating.
Old Master Yang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze extremely imposing. "Continue."
Upon hearing this, the servants of the Yang Family recounted everything they had investigated in detail.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave, then looked at Old Master Yang.
"Grandpa, don't overthink it."
"Young Master is Grandmaster Expert and the heir of the Yang Family, so the other party should... not go so far as to kill him."
Towards the end, the middle-aged man's tone unconsciously softened, revealing some uncertainty.
"If it were you, would you have gone for the kill?"
Old Master Yang's expression was indifferent, and his wrinkled face revealed no emotion.
He had already accepted the fact that Yang Xu was dead.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Alright, you can go now."
With his eyes closed, Old Master Yang leaned back in his armchair and murmured to himself, "Jiang Cheng, the Qin Family... good indeed."
For the next few days, Jiang Cheng spent all his time cultivating, except when he was with the girls.
During that time, she and Bai Weiwei visited Grandma Wen and her grandson.
Once everything was settled, I planned to rush back to Capital.
Outside Jiangcheng Airport, Jiang Ruoxue and the other girls looked reluctant to part, their hearts heavy with sorrow.
"What's wrong? It's not like I'm not coming back. Why are you all making that face?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the time and smiled.
"It's almost time, you should all go back now."
"You rascal, tell us honestly, is there something you're hiding from us?!"
Jiang Ruoxue ignored Jiang Cheng's teasing, staring straight at him with a serious expression.
These past few days, although her nemesis seemed much the same as usual, she always felt that something was off.
Shen Xiyue and the other girls also looked over.
"What could I possibly be hiding from you? Don't be so suspicious, you little girl."
Jiang Cheng shrugged helplessly, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Just say you can't bear to part with me, instead of beating around the bush."
"Come on, give me a kiss!"
Jiang Ruoxue rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Get out of here, there are so many people here."
Despite saying that, Jiang Ruoxue still tiptoed slightly and lightly kissed the water with her lips.
"And what about you? What do you say?"
Jiang Cheng opened his arms, his gaze falling on Shen Xiyue and the other girls, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Brother, I want it."
Li Shiyao didn't think too much about it. Like a swallow returning to its nest, she rushed into Jiang Cheng's arms and greedily sucked in that comforting taste.
Watching Jiang Cheng's departing figure, Song Qingyan pursed her lips, her face showing worry.
"Sister Xiyue, do you think Jiang Cheng is really alright? I just have a feeling..."
Before Song Qingyan finish speaking, Shen Xiyue shook her head, her beautiful eyes smiling, "We should trust him, shouldn't we?"
Taking a deep breath, the women exchanged glances and simultaneously revealed faint smiles.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng turned around, his gaze deep and resolute.
He murmured, "This girl's sixth sense is really accurate; I almost didn't realize it."
As he spoke, an aura emanated from him, and even though it was only for a moment, it still carried a strong sense of oppression.
Returning to simplicity and achieving perfect harmony, this is clearly the pinnacle of Grandmaster!
By the time they arrived at the Qin Family, it was already evening.
As soon as Jiang Cheng stepped through the door, two beautiful figures walked towards him.
"You're back. Have you eaten?"
Qin Yan lips curved slightly as she stepped forward and took Jiang Cheng's arm with practiced ease.
Jiang Cheng nodded, his gaze falling on the two women, and smiled gently, "How are you? Did you miss me?"
What do you think?
Qin Yan gave her a charmingly coquettish glare and reminded her,
"But I think Shengnan misses you even more than I do; she even calls out for you in her sleep."
Noticing Jiang Cheng's gaze, Ding Shengnan immediately bristled like a kitten.
"Little Yan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ding Shengnan panicked, pursed her red lips, and glared at Jiang Cheng, "It was all a lie, you didn't actually believe it, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.
He was already used to Ding Shengnan's duplicity.
After exchanging a few words with the two women, Jiang Cheng slowly asked, "Where is Grandpa?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan instantly understood what Jiang Cheng wanted to do.
"You mean to talk about Yang Xu, right?"
Jiang Cheng responded. After all, Yang Xu was the heir of the Yang Family, and with the Yang Family's influence, they probably would have found out long ago.
Even with Old Master Qin protecting him, he must still be under considerable pressure after killing Yang Xu.
"Don't worry, the Yang Family will have to swallow their pride this time."
Qin Yan curled her red lips and said, "It's so late, don't disturb Grandpa's rest. Let's go back to his room and I'll tell you slowly."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's curiosity was piqued.
Soon, the three returned to their room.
"Yan'er, you can tell me now."
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but speak.
"Look how impatient you are! Fine, since you're so eager to know, I'll reluctantly tell you."
Qin Yan pursed her red lips and gave a soft hum.
"... After finding out the information, the old man from the Yang Family told that That One directly, wanting the grandfather to give an explanation."
After a brief pause, Qin Yan glanced at Ding Shengnan intentionally as she spoke.
"At that time, Shengnan was so anxious that she was afraid that he would really kill you, so she hurriedly called Grandpa Ding."
"They were practically asking Grandpa Ding to bring up the fact that he once took a bullet for That One when he was young..."
Why does Xiao Yan'er tell everything?
Staring directly at her by Jiang Cheng, Ding Shengnan's pretty face flushed, and she crossed her arms and turned her head away.
"I... did this for Xiao Yan'er, to avoid hurting her feelings. Humph~ You... don't flatter yourself."
"Moreover, Grandpa doesn't even need to get involved."
Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and his smile became even more gentle.
"Alright, if you have anything to say or do, wait a bit, I haven't finished yet."
Qin Yan coughed lightly and continued.
"... Apart from the Ye Family, who have not expressed their opinion, the official Ancient Martial Artist organizations and the Lin Family are all on our side."
"With all the things Yang Xu did exposed, the Yang Family has no choice but to accept defeat this time."
"Grandpa said that when the old man from the Yang Family passed away, his face was as black as coal."
The Lin Family, perhaps?
Jiang Cheng smiled. He wasn't surprised that Wen Qing spoke up for him, as for the Lin Family...
Without a doubt, it must be Lin Wenxuan's fault.
