C1803 Truth?
When Jiang Ting saw Qiao Yun's absent-mindedness, he frowned and then very calmly said that he had a friend follow Duan Tian, and because Jiang Ting's news was right, Qiao Yun didn't suspect anything at this moment. In other words, even if he did suspect anything, Qiao Yun would take the initiative to pinch him because he couldn't bear the consequences.
Thus, Qiao Yun's spirits were immediately lifted. He struggled to get up. "Thank you, Brother Jiang."
"Lie still."
Jiang Ting pretended to be unhappy and then shook his head: "But …"
Qiao Yun became anxious. "Brother Jiang, what are the difficulties you face?"
Jiang Ting acted as though he didn't know anything. After a while, he sighed lightly, "I'm afraid Brother Qiao knows nothing about my identity."
"That's right."
Qiao Yun first nodded, then revealed a hesitant expression. "In my opinion, if it's convenient, Brother Jiang will take the initiative to tell me. Since you didn't say it, then I presume it's a bit inconvenient."
"I'm not sure if it's convenient or not."
After pausing for a while, Jiang Ting looked at the empty sky with his hands behind his back, "My identity is actually the same as your Qiao family's Shadow Guard. My master has instructed that, regardless of right or wrong, no matter what happens, I must do it even if I die."
Qiao Yun laughed. "Brother Jiang, you must be joking. Although I do not know Brother Jiang's actual strength, but in my opinion, if Brother Jiang had not been seriously injured, then I'm afraid that he would have been able to easily behead Duan Tian. Even the Prefecture Overseer who controls the surrounding counties might not be able to qualify to be of service to Brother Jiang."
"The Prefecture Lord truly is not qualified."
Jiang Ting nodded and then pointed to the sky: "But what if it's an empire? "Perhaps my strength is unparalleled in this area, but in the entire empire, it's nothing at all. Even if I'm not mentioned in the distance, a general of the Empire who directly serves me could probably crush me to death with a single hand."
Qiao Yun's face froze and it took him a long time to force a smile. "Brother Jiang, why are you suddenly bringing up this matter?"
"In my opinion, Duan Tian is not a pure person. If I leave …"
After pausing for a while, Jiang Ting sighed lightly: "Unfortunately, I am not a man in the open and do not have any power. It is just that I cannot sit idly by and ignore Brother Qiao's saving grace …" "But I can do nothing about it, my status is low, the empire has decreed that I am not to interfere in the matters of the empire, if not, even though I am inconvenient to take action at this moment, Brother Jiang's friend who came here after finding out where I am, will still be able to turn that sky into ashes."
Qiao Yun's expression instantly turned ugly.
Not long later, Qiao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. "Since Brother Jiang has revealed everything, isn't there no reason to cause trouble?"
"That's right."
Jiang Ting nodded with approval and then said softly, "I wonder if Brother Qiao can explain the consequences of this? If I understand the reason why, I might be able to think of a way to help you, Brother Qiao. If it's an open and honorable place, I can ask for the help of the Prefecture Lords in the vicinity. "
Before waiting for an answer, Jiang Ting revealed a dignified look: "But Brother Qiao, you cannot hide it from me. As long as you speak the truth, no matter what the truth is, I will do my best to help you!"
What Jiang Ting wanted was to know the truth from Qiao Yun. If he knew, there might be a way to solve it. As for the general? Prefecture Lord? Who these people were, be it men or women, fat or skinny, Jiang Ting didn't even know. However, it didn't stop Jiang Ting from pulling the flag.
Facing Jiang Ting's three day plan, plus Qiao Yun had no other way, how could he see through it?
Without hesitation, Qiao Yun brought up the matter. "Brother Jiang doesn't know …"
From Qiao Yun's narration, Jiang Ting slowly found out the truth.
Just like Jiang Ting thought, Duan Tian indeed didn't meet Qiao Yan for the first time, they had known each other for a long time.
Many years ago, when Duan Tian wasn't the Duan Clan's Patriarch yet, he had once come to Ling Shui County with the previous Patriarch of the Duan Clan, and on that day, Qiao Yun was bringing Qiao Yan to play around Ling Shui County.
Duan Ling Tian was instantly attracted when he saw Qiao Yan.
What happened afterwards was simple. The Duan Clan's Patriarch had come to propose marriage for Duan Tian, so their strength was higher than the Qiao Clan. Logically speaking, this marriage was a good thing.
However, Qiao Yun's parents didn't use Qiao Yan as a tool for marriage and directly refused … As far as they were concerned, Duan Ling Tian wasn't a good partner.
As for the reason, it was very simple … Of course, Duan Tian was not a simple playboy, on the contrary, Duan Tian's natural talent was said to be the best among all the surrounding counties. He already possessed extraordinary strength at such a young age, and it was also because Duan Tian's natural talent attracted countless of unspecialized personnel to join the Duan Clan that the Duan Clan grew even more powerful.1
If it was only this, then it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have fallen in love with Qiao Yan and kept proposing marriage. He even heard that he would change his marriage in the future … But in reality, Qiao Yun had secretly gone to Fengyi County, and the promise Duan Tian had made didn't change at all. On the contrary, it was even more excessive than before.
Therefore, this marriage was also impossible.
After that, Duan Ling Tian's cultivation level continued to rise. After that, when he brought up the marriage once again, he killed Qiao Yun's parents, and thus, received the deep hatred of the sea of blood. However, because the Qiao family's strength was insufficient, they were unable to take revenge.
Thinking about the truth that Qiao Yun told him, Jiang Ting's expression became baffled … Should he say, was this so-called hatred made of dog blood?
Hate from love?
However, Jiang Ting really wanted to tell Qiao Yun that Duan Tian wasn't lying. At least, after Duan Tian kidnapped Qiao Yan, the only one in the mansion was Qiao Yan, the matriarch.
Right?
Wrong?
If it was an ordinary person, they might have fallen into deep thought at that moment. However, Jiang Ting was different. He understood very early on. Where did the countermeasure between the heavens and the earth come from?
All in all, their positions were different.
In the eyes of the Qiao family, their decision wasn't wrong. After all, Qiao Yan wasn't skilled in cultivation. If she were to marry into the Duan family, with Duan Ling Tian's reputation, she would be killed sooner or later.
As far as Duan Ling Tian was concerned, how could he not be innocent? After all, he had not denied what he had done, and his promise was not false … Unfortunately, no one was able to see through the future. Although Duan Ling Tian's promise wasn't fake, no one believed it.
However, this truth didn't seem to provide him with a good countermeasure.
Qiao Yun tested the waters. "Brother Jiang, your face has changed so much. Are you in a difficult position?"
Jiang Ting instantly retracted his thoughts: "Ai …" I won't hide this from Brother Qiao either. According to the rules, this is a dispute between two clans, and I cannot interfere. Otherwise, a calamity would surely befall us. "
Jiang Ting, who found out the truth, immediately denied that he could help … What a joke, he wasn't someone from the so-called empire. He already got the answer he wanted, so there was no need to give Qiao Yun any more hope.
Qiao Yun's face froze, because Jiang Ting denied it without any hesitation … He didn't know how to respond to a voice that was utterly denied.
At this moment, he fell into silence.
After a long while, Jiang Ting said with a serious tone, "Brother Qiao, don't blame me. I can't disobey the imperial edict. "There might be only one way to save Sister Qiao Yan."
