Destiny is ashes

Chapter 239 Invisible Chains

As expected, it is Xiao Gu’s home.

An Jing understood in his heart... In that case, Xiao Gu's family might have a certain relationship with King Jing?
Using the most reasonable excuse to look for Gu Ye Qi, he hired Master Xuan Jing to come, and by the way, he could also look for You Ruhui.

The reason why the Gu family urgently wanted to find Xiao Gu, a bloodline that had been lost outside, was probably because of the events behind King Jing, right?
More than that.

An Jing also had some ideas in his mind.

Considering that the vast sea is where King Jing is stationed, An Jing cautiously suspects that the vast sea disaster... may also be a conspiracy against King Jing, or against the forces behind King Jing?
In this way, several acquaintances around him, Bai Qinghan, Gu Yeqi and You Ruhui, seemed to be connected by an invisible chain.

But here comes the problem.

What power is behind King Jing? What areas have been affected by the Vast Sea Demon Disaster? What kind of family is the Vast Sea Gu Family?
At this moment, An Jing hated himself for not liking to talk about politics! He had been studying and practicing martial arts in his childhood, concentrating on studying the knowledge required for the imperial examinations and martial arts examinations in the future. He didn't care about these topics at all, and now it seems that he knows nothing!

Sure enough, men should understand a little bit of politics!
Just when An Jing was lamenting that he knew nothing about the political landscape of Dachen.

You Ruhui walked out of the convoy.

As early as when Ming Guangchen took out the token, she was hesitating whether she should just walk out.

But seeing how smoothly Ming Guangchen and An Jing were communicating, she felt that if she walked out so directly, she might get in the way of the two of them...until An Jing and Ming Guangchen had an unfriendly "test", she hurried out and rushed to where the two were.

“Ming Jing…”

Ming Guangchen looked at Xuan Mingjing, who was worried, and revealed a complicated expression: "I held you in my arms when you were born, but I didn't expect that more than ten years would pass in a flash, and you've grown up so big."

"sorry."

Taking out a mirror with the aura of dragon jade from his arms, Ming Guangchen closed his eyes and said in a heavy tone: "I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a teammate and didn't save Guang Yun... It's all our fault."

"Do not……"

Xuan Mingjing didn't know what to say and bit her lower lip. She didn't know how to face this 'father's best friend' who seemed to be very familiar with her father but whom she didn't know at all.

"It's not your fault..."

But she quickly adjusted her mindset and whispered, "Even mother doesn't know much about my father's plans, and I know nothing about them... If it's such a secret plan, it shouldn't have been discovered. If it was discovered, it could only be that something went wrong on my father's part."

"That day, when Uncle Six led the Zhenwu Guards to surround the palace, I had never seen my father so shocked. This was an unexpected event that was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one can be blamed."

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Mingjing said seriously: "What I want to say is, Uncle Ming...if I can call you that, I can believe what you say, please believe An Jing too."

“If An Jing hadn’t been there, I would have either been captured by the True Demon Cult, or taken away by the Heavenly Will Demon Cult, or even… even the Black Armor Guards would have had a chance to find me.”

"If it weren't for An Jing, the entire Kanming City would probably be swallowed up by the demonic calamity."

"You shouldn't doubt him."

"Just call me Uncle Ming." Ming Guangchen turned his head in surprise and looked at An Jing, but soon he laughed: "Is that so..." Although he had observed An Jing before, he didn't know what An Jing and You Ruhui had done together - Ming Guangchen couldn't see through the earth escape magic, and An Jing fell into the law domain soon after the raid on Chongyi Tower, so that Ming Guangchen actually didn't quite know how the evil cult in the city was destroyed.

But now, through You Ruhui's words, this Shenzang Zhenren has figured it out a little: "Xuanming Manor, Chongyi Tower...Haha, I didn't expect that you are really a killer of the Demon Cult."

Mingguang looked at An Jing: "Although I apologized before, my sincerity was indeed not enough."

"Well, I will grant you one request as an apology for this suspicion and temptation."

"...It would be disrespectful to refuse it." An Jing sighed inwardly and took this 'promise' seriously.

It has to be said that Ming Guangchen is definitely King Jing's best friend. He feels extremely guilty and wants to compensate for Xuan Mingjing, and he is truly a good person.

Otherwise, as the supreme God of Shenzang, Ming Guangchen would not only fail to test An Jing, but even if he crushed him to death, it would be no different from crushing a small insect.

An Jing himself didn't care about this at all. He had been wondering what Ming Guangchen meant by "teammates".

Could it be that King Jing had teamed up with Ming Guangchen before, accomplished something big, or carried out some mission?
King Jing Xuan Guangyun, he should have sent a group message to his teammates. He didn't know who would come or who would come, but those who came obviously knew him and were his best friends.

No wonder King Jing dared to entrust his daughter to him.

But before he had time to figure out the whole situation, An Jing was shocked by Xuan Mingjing's protection of him: Sister, the reason you protect me like this is thanks to the good-tempered Ren Ming Zhenren. If you had a worse temper, you would probably be thinking about how to grind me to ashes, right?

——I will never allow such a kid of unknown origin to have such a great influence on my brother’s daughter!
"Let's go back to Kanming City first." Fortunately, Ming Guangchen had a good temper. He said indifferently, "Inspector Cao has left, so the northern border is safe. The demons are rampant in Chenli, and there are many spies. We don't need to set off right away."

The convoy set off again, but this time, it was not heading towards Chenli, but back towards Kanming City.

The people in the convoy had no objection to this. As long as Master Shenzang was willing, even if he asked them to jump off a cliff, do they have the right to refuse?

"Inspector Cao...is he really not coming back?"

Only Xuan Mingjing was a little worried about this: "If he comes back secretly and sees An Jing's convoy and you returning to Kanming City, won't he have any ideas?"

"Not to mention that it's impossible for him to sneak back under my magical power, Mingjing, you really underestimated him."

Ming Guangchen opened his eyes and looked at the clouds in the sky. He shook his head slightly and said, "Although Brother Cao's personality is flawed, his ability and brain are truly excellent."

"Do you think he can't see that you are in the vicinity of Kanming City and my actions are suspicious? If he really wants to throw all the stigma on the True Demon Sect at all costs and sacrifice the blood of the whole city to find your whereabouts, can you escape?"

Hearing this, Xuan Mingjing was obviously stunned, and Ming Guangchen said calmly: "Do you understand? He actually doesn't want to find you at all, unless he can find you cleanly without any stain."

"He almost did it with the True Demon Cult, but since he missed this opportunity, he would never risk being dismissed and put on ice by the Imperial Court in the future. He has to deal with such a big problem as you."

"Also...there are two different attitudes towards you within the court. But this is a very complicated topic, even I don't know."

Hearing this, An Jing's expression slightly changed, and he interrupted, "Excuse me for being so nosy, but I would like to ask you, when King Jing was in the court...which faction did he support?"
