Yan Guilai rolled his eyes and chuckled, "That's right, I don't know the Shadow Martial Emperor at all. This matter has nothing to do with Ye Ling. You can arrest me as you wish."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, all the sentries looked at each other. Even if it was just suspicion, they didn't dare to take the risk. If this brat knew Ye Ling, then they would be done for.
Seeing the bitter expressions on the sentries' faces, Yan Guilai smiled and said, "As for how I knew that Lord Ye Ling was here, it was purely a coincidence. I bumped into …"
Hearing this, all the sentries couldn't help but roll their eyes. How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
Everyone knew that Ye Ling would be recruiting students for Aoki University in the slums in three days. This brat must have been sent by Ye Ling to scout the slums first.
Not to mention anything else, just look at this brat's red lips, white teeth, and tender skin. Did he look like someone from the slums? One look and you could tell that he was the child of a wealthy family.
Hearing Yan Guilai's nonsense, the Shadow Martial Emperor's face darkened.
Although on the surface, Yan Guilai had been trying to distance himself, in reality, he had been using words to mislead the sentries so that they wouldn't dare to arrest him for fear of harming the innocent.
Frowning, the Shadow Martial Emperor said, "What are you all standing there for? I already said that he has nothing to do with Lord Ye Ling. You should arrest him and judge him. As long as you maintain the principle of fairness, impartiality, and openness, no one will blame you!"
Fairness, impartiality, and openness?
Hearing the Shadow Martial Emperor's words, Yan Guilai's eyes flashed sharply. He stretched out his hands and said, "Okay, okay … I said that I don't know him, so I don't know him. The reason why I ran was because I was afraid that you wouldn't accept a fair, impartiality, and open trial."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, the sentries captain couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "We have already investigated the case thoroughly. The two guys you killed were indeed kidnapping two slum girls and wanted to sell them to the brothel."
Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Guilai said, "If that's the case, why are you still chasing me? Could it be that … this kind of scum shouldn't be killed? "
With a bitter smile, the sentries captain said, "As the person involved, you have to go to the main patrol team, go …"
Okay, okay …
Just as the patrol captain opened his mouth to explain, a clear voice sounded from behind an ancient tree beside the lake.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a fairy-like beautiful figure came out from behind the ancient tree.
Looking at the fairy-like figure in shock, Yan Guilai only felt that the person in front of him was incomparably familiar. But when he thought about it carefully, his mind went blank.
Seeing the woman appear, the dozen sentries immediately saluted respectfully and said in unison, "Greetings to Ye Ling."
Nodding her head, the fairy-like woman frowned and said, "The kidnapping of homeless girls and selling them to the brothel has happened many times. I have also heard of it. This time … you have to use this as an opportunity to thoroughly investigate Greatwood City and completely prevent this kind of thing from happening again!"
Understood!
Facing Ye Ling's orders, the sentries had no other choice but to respectfully comply.
While speaking, Ye Ling turned her head to look at Yan Guilai. Just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly widened and her mouth dropped open. She looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Her delicate body trembling, Ye Ling said, "You! Who are you? What is your name? Who are your parents? "
Facing Ye Ling's question, Yan Guilai said, "My name is Yan Guilai. As for my parents, I don't know where they are now."
Yan Guilai?
Muttering this name, Ye Ling's eyes stared unblinkingly at Yan Guilai.
Similar, really too similar …
Looking at Yan Guilai in front of her, Ye Ling felt as if she was looking at the person she respected and loved the most in her heart — — Chu Xingyun.
However, the age clearly didn't match.
Chu Xingyun had been missing for more than a hundred years, but Yan Guilai was clearly only 12 or 13 years old. Saying that he was Chu Xingyun's grandson was too young. He had to be a great-great-grandson.
Most importantly, Ye Ling was now a Martial Emperor Stage Nine expert. At such a close distance, she could confirm that the blood flowing in Yan Guilai's body was definitely not Chu Xingyun's.
Not only was his blood different, but … even the fluctuations of his soul were completely different.
She sighed in disappointment. Although … Yan Guilai looked very similar to Chu Xingyun, there were actually many people who looked similar, so it wasn't rare.
The Shui Liu Xiang sisters and the Ding Xiang sisters were born in two different worlds, but they looked exactly the same. When they stood side by side, it was like looking into a mirror.
Everything external was too easy to change. The only thing that could prove one's identity was the blood and the fluctuations of one's soul!
Obviously, Yan Guilai's blood and soul fluctuations had nothing to do with Chu Xingyun.
But even so, Ye Ling couldn't turn a blind eye to Yan Guilai and remain indifferent. Ye Ling nodded at Yan Guilai, then turned around with a smile and said to the patrol captain, "In this incident, Yan Guilai acted courageously for a just cause, and he didn't make any mistakes. Therefore … there's no need to be too harsh on him. Instead, we should reward him greatly to encourage more people to come forward.
Come. "
Hearing Ye Ling's instructions, the patrol captain respectfully cupped his fists and said solemnly, "Sage, please rest assured. After returning to the main force, I will pass on Ye Ling's instructions to the Head Captain."
Nodding, Ye Ling said, "Alright, you can all leave. After this … I will send him to the main force to close the case. But for the time being, I have some things to say to him."
Hearing Ye Ling's orders, what could the patrol captain say? After respectfully bowing, he quickly left with his subordinates.
Ye Ling was the guarantor. Let alone their small Greatwood City patrol headquarters, even the Great Chu royalty could only listen to her. It wasn't that Ye Ling was tyrannical, but that she had such prestige and authority!
Moreover, Ye Ling's words and actions were worthy of the heavens and earth, and she had a clear conscience.
After sending off the patrol captain, Ye Ling looked at Yan Guilai with shining eyes and said, "Come, I've prepared some snacks over there. Do you want to try them together?"
Frowning, Yan Guilai really wanted to stay and build a good relationship with Ye Ling, and enjoy the delicious food while he was at it.
But on the other side, the sisters Yaf and Yaxin were still waiting for him in the culvert under the stone bridge.
Seeing Yan Guilai's hesitant look, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile gently and say, "Are you worried about the two girls you saved? Don't worry … I will send people to protect them. "
Since Ye Ling had already said this, it would be too disrespectful to refuse. Helpless, Yan Guilai nodded happily.
Seeing Yan Guilai agree, Ye Ling nodded happily. Then she said to the Shadow Martial Emperor, "Alright, I don't need you to protect me for now. Go find those two girls and protect them. But don't disturb them, understand?"
Hearing Ye Ling's orders, the Shadow Martial Emperor couldn't help but hesitate. His mission was to protect Ye Ling. Once he left, what would happen if Ye Ling encountered danger?
Seeing the Shadow Martial Emperor's hesitation, Ye Ling couldn't help but frown and say in a low voice, "What, are you worried that I don't have the ability to protect myself?"
