What should I do now? Jiang Zhiyuan tried her best to rack her brains, but she hopelessly realized that she was at a dead end! Elder Hua Feng took action first, so it’s inevitable that Liang Xiaoxiao had a preconceived notion when she heard his words. Thus, she thought that everything was my fault. But… the real culprits are those people from Lingyun Mountain! Besides, I’m not the only one who stood at the side to watch. Why did Liang Xiaoxiao push all the blame on me?
“Xiaoxiao, you really misunderstood! I-I didn’t have a choice back then!” Jiang Zhiyuan covered her face, and blood slowly seeped out from the corner of her mouth. “With just me alone, how can I be those people’s match?!”
Liang Xiaoxiao took a step forward and grabbed Jiang Zhiyuan’s collar, her eyes turning red. “Those people? Who are they?!”
“They’re…” Jiang Zhiyuan was about to say it when she saw Elder Hua Feng looking at her from the corner of her eyes. She raised arly, I won’t do anything to her.” A cold gleam flashed across Liang Xiaoxiao’s eyes. But after I investigate it clearly, it won’t be easy to say!
Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart was numb. In this situation, what else can I do…
Suddenly, she looked up, looked past the group, and saw the tall man in black. I’m afraid only he can help me now!
“Your Highness!” Jiang Zhiyuan used all her strength to yell out loud as two streams of tears fell down her face.
She didn’t know where the strength came from, but she suddenly stood up and rushed over. Although she was staggering, she wasn’t considered slow.
As it was too sudden, she had already rushed out for quite a distance when the crowd recovered their senses.
Elder Hua Feng’s face turned cold. He took a step forward and blocked Jiang Zhiyuan as he scolded, “Jiang Zhiyuan, are you crazy?!”
Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t go past him and was anxious. Her voice became even shriller. “Your Highness, say something! Can you really bear to watch all of this happen? Fairy Water Mound is still one of the 28 divisions under you. If you don’t care about me, you still have to do it for the clan’s sake!”
The crowd looked at Rong Xiu.
Jiang Zhiyuan’s words made sense.
Fairy Water Mound was the strongest and had the deepest background out of all the divisions in the Sky-Cloud Empire, and Jiang Zhiyuan was the apple of Jiang Hetian’s eye. If Rong Xiu really wanted to put in a good word for her… everyone had to give him face.
Rong Xiu first glanced at the person in his arms.
A faint trace had appeared in Chu Liuyue’s brows, and her lashes moved slightly as if she had dreamed of something uneasy.
Rong Xiu hugged her tighter, turned around, and looked up slightly. That pair of clear and deep phoenix-like eyes had stunning coldness in them.
A chill was sent down Jiang Zhiyuan’s spine from this glance.
She opened her mouth. Her sharp and shrill voice suddenly became much weaker. “Your Highness…”
“You disturbed his sleep,” said Rong Xiu coldly.
