Chapter 1660: Why is She Helping Me?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Jiang Y had some good feelings towards He Nongying initially. After all—although she had shot him and severely wounded him, she did not kill him in the end and had not taken his Fire Dragon Sword. He Nongying was a very principled person.
However, after being tricked by He Nongying after that, Jiang Yi’s feelings towards her had changed completely. He absolutely hated women playing tricks on him. If it wasn’t for He Nongying, he might have gotten to the fourth level of the Demon-Killing Palace and obtained some rare treasures; he might not have needed to escape to the Heaven Domain.
Hence, after being seen through by He Nongying at once, Jiang Yi instinctively thought that He Nongying was like Young Mistress Gongyang and Young Master Liang and was here to hunt him down. A ring in his hand lit up as he was just about to release his mummy. However, at this moment, He Nongying suddenly spoke and made Jiang Yi halt his actions.
“Twenty-Sixth Elder, Young Master Dao Ren had sent a message to me just now, saying that he seemed to have made a discovery in Azure Rainbow City. He sent a message asking me to go and take a look. However, I am a little tired; could you bring some men and head there first?”
He Nongying knew Twenty-Sixth Elder. After taking a look at Jiang Yi, she had locked onto Twenty-Sixth Elder and spoke to him. Twenty-Sixth Elder’s eyes flashed immediately. Young Master Dao Ren was the second Young Master after Young Master Dao Feng. Since He Nongying had spoken, she couldn’t be lying; Dao Ren must have sent a message indeed.
“Oh?”
However, Twenty-Sixth Elder thought for a while and soon understood; Dan Ren’s ‘discovery’ was probably not that he had found Jiang Yi but an excuse, right? His real intention was to invite He Nongying over so that he could woo her, right? The first young mistress of the He Clan… who wouldn’t want to woo her? He Nongying was also the Qilin Empress’ goddaughter.
Twenty-Sixth Elder also understood He Nongying’s meaning. She found it hard to reject the invitation and wanted him to make a trip on his behalf, to indirectly tell Dao Ren not to pester her if there was nothing important.
Twenty-Sixth Elder hesitated; this wasn’t something easy to convey. Since Dao Feng had died, Dao Ren was now the first young master. If he went over and told Dao Ren this, Dao Ren would definitely be annoyed at him.
“What’s the matter?”
He Nongying looked over blandly as she said without any anger in her voice. “Twenty-Sixth Elder, you aren’t going to listen to even Young Master Dao Ren anymore?”
“No!”
Twenty-Sixth Elder smiled bitterly as he said, “I am now carrying out orders to search the neighboring cities to see if Jiang Yi is hiding nearby.”
“Hmph!”
He Nongying snorted coldly and said, “I had fought with Jiang Yi once before; I am very familiar with his soul spirit and aura. Leave thirty thousand men here, and I will help you to search the nearby cities. Please also tell Young Master Dao Ren that I am not feeling well recently and want to rest quietly.”
“Very well then.”
He Nongying was angry now, and Twenty-Sixth Elder didn’t want to make things worse. Since He Nongying was King-Ranked herself and had a He Clan formidable martial artist with her, leaving thirty thousand men behind would be sufficient.
“Let’s go!”
Twenty-Sixth Elder swept by the city again. Besides suspecting that Jiang Yi was a spy for some other clan, he had not found anything else. He gestured as he brought his men and left, leaving thirty thousand for He Nongying to deploy.
Jiang Yi was extremely tense; he didn’t understand He Nongying’s intention. He thought about breaking through many times and even holding He Nongying hostage. However, he decided not to move in the end.
That was because He Nongying had looked at him indifferently again, without any signs of enmity. She seemed to actually be telling him wordlessly to not be rash.
Should I try and breakthrough or not?
Jiang Yi was in a bind. He Nongying was without question a very smart lady. If she was trying to set him up, Dao Nù and Dao Leng would probably reach soon; he would not be able to live if that happened.
I can’t just stay here and wait for death! Finally, Jiang Yi decided to take a gamble. He suddenly genuflected and shouted, “He Da pays his respects to Young Mistress!”
“Uh?”
Dao Gui and company who were looking at Jiang Yi with much hostility exchanged stares and were stunned. Before Twenty-Sixth Elder had left, he had sent a message to Dao Gui, saying that this person could be a spy hiding in the Azure Region and asked Dao Gui to interrogate him. Dao Gui had not expected that Jiang Yi was actually from the He Clan?
“En?”
The middle-aged woman next to He Nongying turned, and her eyes flashed as her divine senses swept forward. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by a gesture from He Nongying. He Nongying said, “You are the housekeeper’s son, He Da? Fly up here and speak!”
The middle-aged woman’s eyes flashed inquisitively. However, He Nongying nudged her gently, and she didn’t dare to say much and kept mum. Jiang Yi was rather tense; what was He Nongying up to? Was she trying to lure him up and kill him?
He had no way to back down!
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth as he flew up and slowly made his way to the war chariot in midair. He Nongying’s expression did not change a bit; it was still very light and breezy and expressionless. However, the lady next to her started to grow anxious as her killing aura faintly enveloped Jiang Yi, ready to strike at any moment.
One thousand feet, five hundred feet, three hundred feet… a hundred feet!
Jiang Yi had thought of sending out his Merged Flames many times and unleashing his mummy to capture He Nongying and hold her hostage; he might then have a chance to escape back to the Earth Domain.
However, he ultimately didn’t do anything. He Nongying’s eyes had actually conveyed a benign look, and she didn’t make any rash actions as if not afraid of Jiang Yi attacking.
“Young Mistress!”
Jiang Yi bowed respectfully, with no signs of wanting to attack. He Nongying’s mouth twitched as a smile appeared. She said, “Are you wounded? You are dismissed for now; come and look for me later.”
“Understood!”
Jiang Yi bowed once again as he went and stood behind the war chariot. He Nongying did not look at Jiang Yi again as her powerful divine senses swept the ground beneath. After investigating five times, she waved her hand and said, “Who is the City Lord? Ask everyone to return and arrange a room for me to rest. I am tired. All troops are to stand guard outside the city. After I am rested, we will go and search the nearby cities.”
“Young Mistress He, please!”
Dao Gui hurriedly flew up and led He Nongying down towards a castle while the thirty-thousand-strong army headed to an area at the foot of the mountain to set up camp. Everyone within the city also dispersed swiftly under the direction of the city guards.
He Nongying had already flown into a huge castle as Jiang Yi stood dazed in midair. His eyes flashed with uncertainty; was He Nongying helping him or purposely giving him a false sense of security, awaiting Dao Nù and Dao Leng’s arrival?
He could not understand her actions and was a little hesitant. He paused for a moment and then flew down to the city, finding the inn and the castle he was residing in.
Once he entered the castle, powerful divine senses swept over as a fleeting and crisp voice rang out in his ears: “Jiang Yi, I do not care if you trust me or not. If you want to live, listen to me. Formidable martial artists are all around in the Azure Region. Based on you alone, you will not be able to escape from here. Take your time to recuperate and come look for me in a couple of hours.”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi was utterly bewildered; He Nongying was actually trying to help him? She had diverted Twenty-Sixth Elder away to save him and now had specially sent a voice transmission to him speaking earnestly. If she was acting and trying to give him a false sense of security, her acting was amazing.
Why does she want to help me?
Nothing was without reason in this world. A Heaven Domain prestigious clan’s first young mistress, He Nongying, ought to be on the same page as Dao Feng and company. Someone from the Earth Domain had caused a ruckus and made the Heaven Domain prestigious clans lose face; that would definitely include the He Clan. Since that was the case, why was He Nongying helping him?
Whether this is a setup or not, I will know once I see her!
Jiang Yi soon made up his mind. If He Nongying was indeed tricking him, he was not going to go easy on her.
