Chapter 326
While the four were still surprised, Crimson Moon spoke again. “If we go to the Natural Law School now, it’ll take us some time to convince them and even more time for them to come to his rescue, so it would be better to go back to inform Jiang Chen of the situation.”
This time, Yi Shuihan and the other four were too surprised to speak.
Going back?
If Yuan Hong found them, who knew what would happen?
Jiang Chen was the Natural Law School’s best disciple and a member of the Hero Palace. Despite this, Yuan Hong still wanted to kill him, let alone less important disciples like them.
It was safe to notify the Natural Law School. They wouldn’t hesitate to do that, but it was another thing if they had to risk their lives to rescue Jiang Chen.
Besides, it was surprising that Ning Haotian’s fiancée was the one to propose it.
“Senior, please stop!” Crimson Moon said loudly.
Her words worked. Li Hengjing could finally breathe, but he was already very weak.
“Princess.”
Yuan Hong squinted and frowned. He said, “You’re my apprentice’s fiancée. Why are you helping Jiang Chen?”
“I’m not helping him,” Crimson Moon argued.
“Don’t try to make a fool out of me. I heard what you said.”
Crimson Moon turned ashen. She had no excuse.
“It seems that Jiang Chen’s life is very important to you. You’re even willing to risk your own life?”
Yuan Hong kept pushing her. He landed slowly.
“You’re Haotian’s fiancée. I won’t hurt you, but if you betray Haotian, I’ll torture you to death as cruelly as possible!”
Crimson Moon became even paler. Her chest was heaving up and down rapidly, but she still found it difficult to breathe.
“Senior!”
Crimson Moon bit the tip of her tongue. The taste of blood filled her mouth, which grounded her. She took the chance to ask, “How did you know we would come back today and go this way?”
The world was so big, and they were travelling by airship, so they didn’t have to consider factors such as terrain for the trip, but if they flew without navigation, they could severely deviate from their destination.
So they had used the same route they’d used six months earlier.
Both the route and the date were a secret, known solely by her and the other four. They had only informed their families of such information.
It was quite possible that Yuan Hong had been sent by the Xia Dynasty.
He could even have been sent by Ning Haotian to kill Jiang Chen.
She had considered such a possibility at the beginning, which was why she was willing to risk her own life to help Jiang Chen.
The royal family knows Jiang Chen is a member of the Hero Palace. They wouldn’t do that, but if he was killed due to an old rivalry, the Hero Palace wouldn’t be able to say anything about it.
And the Black Dragon City doesn’t know that he joined the Hero Palace yet.
Although Crimson Moon was proud and arrogant, she wasn’t stupid. After weighing and considering, she was almost sure it was the Black Dragon City behind Yuan Hong’s appearance.
Ning Haotian had probably arranged it personally.
No, no way.
Crimson Moon refused to think about such a possibility.
In her eyes, Ning Haotian was an upright genius. Despite the affair with the holy pulses, she still believed it had been the Black Dragon City’s decision that Ning Haotian had been forced to accept.
Assassinations like this didn’t comply with her impression of him.
If Jiang Chen was killed by her fiancé in a life-or-death fight, she wouldn’t blame her fiancé for losing the method to develop her extraordinary meridians.
But this…
Haotian, is the man Jiang Chen described truly you?
Suddenly, Yuan Hong said something, and her pupils dilated.
“Princess, looks like you’ve figured something out. I can’t let you live now.”
