The Lord of Jiang City and Jiang Chengyue looked at each other with displeasure, seemingly pondering the necessity of their subconscious vigilance.
Jiang Chengbi was struggling with a big elbow, his face covered in oil stains.
I indulgently wiped her face with a handkerchief and then made a comparison:
"Our Abi is the purest in nature and has the highest skill. But if someone holds onto Abi's close person, trying to break through Jiang City's defense from her, what should we do?"
Both the father and son of the Jiang family were shocked, and the city lord's wife even stood up, knocking over the stool she was sitting on.
Outside, Ah Ruo immediately asked, "Did Miss Er overturn the dishes and chopsticks? This servant will come in to clean up."
I looked up at the city lord's wife, whose expression was very unpleasant.
It should be noted that Jiang Chengyue was busy with affairs, always in a hurry. He rarely returned home to dine with his family, naturally not wanting to be disturbed.
Before the meal, the city lord specifically instructed the servants to stay away and not serve at the table.
Ah Ruo's words seemed caring but actually revealed something.
Jiang Chengyue remained calm, probably understanding the subtleties involved.
Only the city lord, who was carefree and had always used force to subdue his subordinates, had not yet figured out the twists and turns.
Jiang Chengyue's eyes were cold as they turned towards me.
My abrupt reminder had long been risking exposure.
As expected, before the meal was over, Jiang Chengyue began to suspect me.
However, he did not immediately expose or question me but diverted the topic elsewhere.
After the meal, Jiang Chengyue called me to his courtyard.
As soon as I followed him in, a long sword came straight at my face.
I leaped up, dodging the sword, and landed behind him.
Without pausing, he swung another short sword at my waist.
I had to draw the soft sword from my waist to barely block this move.
"Clang—" Sparks flew where the swords met.
Jiang Chengyue was famous for his pair of long and short swords, and in this move, he showed no mercy.
