Chapter 2: Bloodshed on the battlefield and escape from the Immortal Gate
Chapter 68 Forbearance
Naturally, the competition ended hastily with the national figure in embarrassment, but there was really no need to compete anymore, as Ye Fenglu knew everything about it.
But Ye Feng didn't have much interest. He didn't come here to meet anyone, he just came because Jiang Meiliang asked him to come.
But Jiang Meiliang's abnormality made him really confused as to why.
When Ye Feng returned to the pavilion, the usually reserved and aloof noble ladies all had little stars of admiration in their eyes, and they all gathered around him.
However, Ye Feng ignored them. After returning the sword to Jiang Meiliang, he excused himself as he was still feeling unwell and left.
Jiang Meiliang didn't do much to persuade him to stay. What's even weirder is that as the owner, he said he would send Ye Feng back.
No one could stop her, but her master was leaving and the party would be meaningless.
Besides, no one is a fool. Jiang Meiliang understands everything, so it is impossible for the host to actually issue an eviction order.
The party ended hastily, especially for the young people. When everyone left, their eyes were piercing Ye Feng like knives.
If looks could kill, Ye Feng would probably have become a pair of pieces of meat.
The lively pavilion suddenly became quiet, and only Jiang Meiliang and Ye Feng were left.
"well!"
Jiang Meiliang sighed and had no intention of leaving, but sat in front of the piano table.
Jiang Meiliang, who had always been smiling, now had a frosty face, and his eyes were staring into the distance with some hollow eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Jiang Meiliang looked back, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said softly:
"Brother, please sit with me for a while!"
"Well! Sister Meiliang, how can I help?"
Ye Feng could tell that Jiang Meiliang must have encountered something difficult, otherwise her character would not show such a weak side.
"I think you probably have countless questions in your mind, so just ask whatever you want!"
Jiang Meiliang sighed. He didn't even look at Ye Feng, but looked at the guqin in front of him and played it gently.
"Yesterday on the flower boat..."
Ye Feng didn't want to ask anything, he just wanted to explain, because he didn't know if Jiang Meiliang understood everything, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to describe it.
Even now, he still can't explain what happened.
As for the mysterious old man and the wine pot, he didn't want to tell Jiang Meiliang just yet.
It's not that he doesn't trust her, it's that he can't even explain it clearly, and speaking out will only make people more suspicious.
"I know, that matter has nothing to do with you, they are targeting me."
Jiang Meiliang shook his head and continued:
"Father has noticed how extraordinary you are, so he set up that trap and wanted to use Green Apple to control you, but they really looked down upon you too much."
"Oh! Then why did you appear there?"
Ye Feng was silent for a while. Seeing that Jiang Meiliang didn't continue, he shook his head and asked.
He didn't care about Qing Ping in the first place. What he was really worried about was Jiang Meiliang. Although Jiang Meiliang said it was targeting her, since Qing Ping's purpose was to control him, how could it be targeting Jiang Meiliang.
Jiang Meiliang's words were obviously contradictory. She was hiding something, and this was what Ye Feng was concerned about.
What surprised Ye Feng was that after Jiang Meiliang heard his words, he didn't rush to answer. Instead, his face turned red for no reason, and he stretched out his hand to play with the strings.
Ye Feng heard endless sorrow and nostalgia from her seemingly casual and flirtatious music, but he didn't know what she was worried about.
"Perhaps I really shouldn't come back. There is no home, no country. The life and death of the people in this beautiful river and mountains have nothing to do with me."
After a long time, Jiang Meiliang sighed, looked up at Ye Feng and said.
Her eyes, which were like autumn water, now held a deep helplessness.
Ye Feng had no idea why Jiang Meiliang suddenly became so sentimental. This was definitely not the heroic female war goddess he knew.
And just when Ye Feng didn't know how to comfort Jiang Meiliang, a slightly older voice suddenly came:
"Liang'er, some things may not be what you see!"
"Father!"
Jiang Meiliang seemed to have known it for a long time. There was no surprise in his words, and he didn't even get up, he just called out lightly.
Sure enough, following that voice, a slightly older figure was slowly climbing up the stairs.
"Lord Taiwei!"
Ye Feng never sat down, but stood diagonally opposite Jiang Meiliang, so his back was to the stairs. When he heard Jiang Meiliang call his father, he turned around and clasped his fists in salute.
"Didn't I say before, this is neither a military camp nor a court. There is no lieutenant, only father."
Jiang Tainian stepped forward slowly, glanced at Ye Feng, and said slightly reproachfully.
Ye Feng has never been stupid. Jiang Meiliang's abnormal behavior and previous words all told Ye Feng that the relationship between her and her father was not that happy.
He didn't know what happened, because he was sure that Jiang Meiliang's feminine attitude when he returned yesterday was definitely not an act.
The love she showed for her father yesterday was absolutely true. Just one day later, what made her change so much?
Ye Feng didn't understand, and he didn't bother to figure it out. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him, he was just an outsider.
Even now he can't figure out who he is.
But he knew that this was a matter between father and daughter.
He couldn't get involved in this. He was just an unknown person who was picked up by Jiang Meiliang.
Ye Feng knew his position. He was just grateful to Jiang Meiliang for saving his life and wanted to repay her, so he temporarily stayed with her.
He doesn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Tainian. If he does, it's just because he is the father of his savior and he must respect it.
Facing the indifferent Ye Feng, Jiang Tainian could only shake his head and no longer pay attention to him.
"Liang'er! You are still young. Some things are not as simple as you think. Maybe it's time to let you know some things!"
Jiang Tainian ignored Jiang Meiliang's indifference, moved a chair by himself, sat in front of her, sighed and said.
"Father, I don't understand. Jiang Feng is just an ordinary person. He happened to save my life, and I also saved him by the way. He has never had the slightest impact on your grand plan. Why do you do this?"
Jiang Meiliang said in a cold voice without even raising his head.
"Whether Jiang Feng is an ordinary person, you know better than your father. We have waited for ten years, and that prophecy finally came true. This is the blessing of our Jiang country, and an opportunity for us to truly get rid of slavery. For the sake of thousands of Jiang Feng countries,
People, for the re-emergence of our Zhuxian Dynasty, we have no choice!"
