Hug and hug?
At this moment, Han Yunxi's mind wandered. She suddenly wanted to know how Long Fei Ye would react to Ning Jing's words.
"My legs are injured and I can't walk. Long Fei Ye has to bring me along, otherwise he won't be able to guard against Bai Yanqing's poison! " After Han Yunxi explained, she specially asked, "May I ask if Miss Jing is satisfied with this explanation?"
The elders looked at each other in dismay. Ning Jing asked again, "Since it's like this, why did my brother act alone?"
This was the key point, but Han Yunxi cleverly asked back, "Why do you think? In any case, I don't know! When Long Fei Ye and I worked together to deal with Bai Yanqing, we weren't purely helping East Qin. After capturing Bai Yanqing, my Western Qin would naturally want a share of the loot! "
She wasn't completely lying. She had already agreed with Long Fei Ye that she wouldn't interfere in the contest between Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng. She wouldn't help either side. The contest between the two of them wasn't about Bai Yanqing, but rather Jun Yi Xie's warhorse. She and Long Fei Ye had lured Bai Yanqing out for Gu Beiyue and to find out if there was a misunderstanding during the Great Qin Empire's civil war.
Gu Beiyue was a member of the Western Qin camp. In a sense, capturing Bai Yanqing wasn't her helping Long Fei Ye, but Long Fei Ye helping her.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Han Yunxi looked at the fifth elder. "Fifth elder, tell me, why did Ning Cheng act alone?"
The fifth elder was very honest. "In this subordinate's humble opinion, if Master Ning could capture Bai Yanqing, he could threaten Jun Yi Xie. Master Ning made a thorough deployment, but he didn't expect that the Pearflower Storm Needles was fake! "
Han Yunxi immediately looked at Ning Jing, and Ning Jing also looked at her. There was no doubt that the two women had a tacit understanding about the Pearflower Storm Needles.
Han Yunxi knew the truth about the Tang Sect, but she didn't tell Ning Cheng. Ning Jing also knew the truth, but she didn't tell him either.
It was also because of this matter that Ning Jing didn't suspect Han Yunxi. Instead, she firmly believed that Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were still together.
The two women looked at each other without saying a word.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Jing did not say anything. Instead, it was the First Elder who said angrily, "If Tang Li doesn't cooperate with us, he can forget about going back!"
This time, the playful look in Han Yunxi's eyes deepened. She was completely sure of her guess. Although Ning Jing had put Tang Li under house arrest, she still hadn't revealed the relationship between the Tang Sect and Long Fei Ye!
A sly look flashed across her eyes. She said lightly, "The Pearflower Storm Needles, actually …"
Ning Jing immediately changed the topic. "Is my brother's poison serious?"
At this moment, Han Yunxi knew that Ning Jing had lost …
Han Yunxi didn't pursue the matter. Instead, she changed the topic. She said, "Don't worry, Bai Yuqiao is Bai Yanqing's disciple. If she can't cure that little poison, she can forget about staying in the industry!"
"What about my brother's eyes?" Ning Jing asked again.
Han Yunxi's originally bright eyes dimmed. She wasn't sure which part of Ning Cheng's eye the needle had pierced, but he had lost so much blood that she knew that she shouldn't have had any hope.
After a while, Han Yunxi said lightly, "It's my fault."
Fifth Elder immediately said seriously, "Princess, don't blame yourself. Master Ning won't blame you."
He won't?
She recalled Ning Cheng's question and his stubbornness to wait. Han Yunxi had no confidence at all. She would find it strange if Ning Cheng didn't blame her.
Han Yunxi sighed softly and didn't explain further. She said half-jokingly and half-self-deprecatingly, "Everyone, are you satisfied with this princess's explanation? Do you believe me? "
Everyone was silent. The five elders had nothing to say. Ning Jing had something to say, but she didn't dare to say it.
At this moment, Uncle Cheng was standing in a dark corner. Although he knew that Han Yunxi was lying and that Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's relationship had never been broken, he didn't want to expose her. He didn't expose Han Yunxi. Because he knew that there was no point in arguing. With Han Yunxi's status, any more arguments would be futile.
Since Han Yunxi was back, there was no harm in leaving Myriad Merchant Hall's mess to her! He wanted to see how Han Yunxi would deal with a mess that even First Elder couldn't solve!
If the Di Clan's money bag was destroyed, Han Yunxi would lose all prestige in the Western Qin camp. When the time came and he exposed her affair with Long Fei Ye, Uncle Cheng firmly believed that the Di Clan would no longer be loyal to this princess and would have thoughts of rebellion!
At that time, no matter how stubborn Ning Cheng was, he wouldn't be able to dissuade the entire clan.
Thinking of this, Uncle Cheng's lips curled into a cold smile, and he quietly retreated. Once he reached the door, he instructed in a low voice, "Send some people to smash the casino. Remember, don't let anyone discover your identities."
"Yes!" The manservant respectfully retreated.
The meeting hall was silent for a long time. First Elder secretly glanced at Ning Jing. Seeing that Ning Jing didn't say anything, he was about to speak when Fifth Elder beat him to it. "This subordinate believes in the princess. For the princess, I'll do my best until my death!"
Fifth Elder had already expressed his stance. If First Elder didn't do anything, he, the head of the Elders Council, would be removed by Han Yunxi sooner or later!
"This subordinate believes in the princess. For the great cause of Western Qin's recovery, I'll do my best until my death!" First Elder said loudly. The other elders also expressed their stance.
Ning Jing took a deep breath and didn't say a word.
Han Yunxi said indifferently, "It's getting late. The matters at the auction house and the casino haven't been settled yet. Elders, you should hurry back to your work. Ning Jing, take me to see Tang Li first. As for the specific situation, we'll discuss it tomorrow. How about it? "
Han Yunxi asked so politely that the elders were terrified. Who would dare to say "no"?
After the elders left, Ning Jing finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She said angrily, "Han Yunxi, you're lying! You and Long Fei Ye are clearly still in love! Otherwise, why would you help him hide the Tang Sect's matter? Why didn't you tell my brother? "
"What about you?" Han Yunxi raised her eyebrows and asked in return. "Ning Jing, Long Fei Ye and I are still in love? Don't tell me that you and Tang Li are really deeply in love? That's why you also hid the Tang Sect's relationship with Long Fei Ye? "
"I didn't!" Ning Jing immediately denied.
"Then why did you betray your brother and the Di Clan?" Han Yunxi laughed coldly. "Ning Jing, when you criticize me, I'll have to trouble you to think of your own actions."
"I-I …" Ning Jing had never been so frustrated in her life. "Han Yunxi, I'm different from you! We're different! "
Han Yunxi looked indifferent. "We're both traitors. What's the difference?"
Ning Jing was suddenly shocked. "Han Yunxi, why did you come back? Are you helping Long Fei Ye deal with us? "
"I told you, you have no right to question me or criticize me," Han Yunxi said Coldly.
Ning Jing rushed in front of her and almost hit her. "Han Yunxi, let me tell you, I'm different from you! I only betrayed my brother once! Just once! But you, as the princess of Western Qin, you betrayed your clan again and again, betrayed your loyalists! You did it more than once! "
"Is there a difference between once and multiple times?" Han Yunxi laughed. "Ning Jing, betrayal can't be overturned after the first time."
Ning Jing's heart lurched. Han Yunxi's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into the weakest part of her heart.
Still, she stubbornly retorted, "Han Yunxi, at least I've stopped betraying! But what about you? "
Han Yunxi looked at the woman in front of her and associated her with the shrewd and capable manager of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium. When did this woman become so unreasonable?
"Ning Jing, when did you stop betraying?" Han Yunxi shook her head. "You still haven't admitted your crimes to the Di Clan. What right do you have to say you've stopped? You've been betraying us all this time! "
Ning Jing had nothing to say. She backed away step by step, shaking her head as well. It wasn't clear whether she was denying Han Yunxi or herself.
She had once comforted herself by telling herself that she'd only betrayed Ning Cheng once, just once. She'd spent a lot of effort to convince herself before steeling her heart to run away. She thought she'd stop betraying him after that. But today, Han Yunxi's words had thoroughly dispelled her reasons for consoling herself!
That's right, betrayal is betrayal! What kind of chastity monument is a whore trying to set up in her heart?
But she never wanted to set up a monument to her chastity!
If she didn't keep hiding the relationship between the Tang Clan and the Long Fei Ye, both she and Tang Li would be in danger. If the Di Clan knew about the relationship between the Tang Clan and the Long Fei Ye, they wouldn't believe any of Tang Li's excuses so easily, much less let him leave. Meanwhile, she would have to face the Council of Elders' suspicions and be doomed. As long as she was locked up for a month, her stomach would be exposed! She wouldn't be able to bear the consequences then!
The Di Clan would never allow her to be pregnant with the child of someone from the East Qin camp. Absolutely not!
Ning Jing retreated step by step until she finally leaned against the wall. She suddenly felt like crying. She really didn't know what to do. Before Han Yunxi appeared, she was still calm. She still wanted to do her best to settle the storm at Myriad Merchant Hall. When Ning Nuo rushed over, she would leave.
But now that Han Yunxi knew her secret, how could she leave?
Did she have to beg Han Yunxi? Did she have to continue betraying the Di Clan with Han Yunxi? She couldn't do it!
Ning Cheng was already like that. How could she do it?
After a while, Ning Jing finally met Han Yunxi's questioning gaze. Coldly, she retorted, "Yes, I did betray the Di Clan. So what do you want? "
Who knew that Han Yunxi would suddenly say, "Ning Jing, have you taken a liking to Tang Li?"
Ning Jing was stunned, then she angrily denied, "What a joke! Han Yunxi, please show some respect with your mouth! "
Such an intense reaction made the playfulness in Han Yunxi's eyes rise again. She didn't argue with Ning Jing and just looked at her meaningfully. Ning Jing felt guilty and avoided Han Yunxi's gaze.
After probing for so long, Han Yunxi finally understood that Ning Jing's so-called "selfishness" wasn't a "selfishness" at all. It was her compromise, her helplessness, her guilt, her reluctance to part, her contradictions, her pain, her grievances, her loneliness, and her lack of a place to express them!
They were both in the same boat, so Han Yunxi was all too familiar with Ning Jing's conflict and position. Thus, after probing for so long, she was almost certain that Ning Jing had concealed the relationship between the Tang Sect and Long Fei Ye because of Tang Li!
Han Yunxi's voice finally softened. She said, "Ning Jing, I love Long Fei Ye. Even though I'm prepared to meet him on the battlefield, I still love him. What about you? Do you love Tang Li? "
