Chapter 1754: Keep Your Mouth Shut, Yun Shuying! Help Me Cover the Rear!

At this point in time, even opening a branch alliance in the Huaxia Federation really wouldn't earn much profit.

"Fine!" Elder Long said helplessly. "Yun Shuying, what you say does have some reason. That Chen Tianwu fellow is a bit of a disappointment. I'll give him a good scolding and make him keep negotiating!"

"Elder Long is wise!"

"Wise?" Elder Long shook his head. "In my view, you'd better not have any thoughts about that Su Yang. There are plenty of outstanding young talents in the Eight Treasures Studio. You can have a look and see if any of them catch your eye."

Yun Shuying frowned and said, "Elder Long, I don't understand what you're talking about? I just feel I've let Su Yang down a bit. He actually cares quite a lot about his country."

"Alright, that's that then!"

After Elder Long left, Su Yang felt a chill run down his back.

He turned his head, and Xia Na was standing behind him like a ghost, her gaze a little cold.

"Elder Chen, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Su Yang said stiffly.

"Sister Shuying, what's your relationship with that Su Yang?"

Su Yang's heart gave a sudden lurch and rose into his throat.

"What relationship? What relationship could there be? There isn't any relationship!"

Hearing Yun Shuying's words, Su Yang's heart settled down for the moment.

"I don't believe it!" Xia Na glared at Su Yang, pulled Yun Shuying aside, and whispered, "Tell me. My lips are sealed, I won't tell anyone else."

"There really isn't any relationship!"

"Is he your man?"

"Nothing of the sort!"

"Heh!"

Xia Na clearly didn't believe it.

"Fine! Actually it's no big deal either. It's been a long time since it happened. That Su Yang should already be gone. I'll tell you, just don't get angry!"

Seeing Xia Na was unhappy, Yun Shuying relented a little.

She actually quite liked Xia Na.

The reason was simple. Last time in Purple Cloud City, when that Night Demon Clan powerhouse from the Shenlongshang Alliance called her "Yun Run-Run," it almost ruined her reputation.

Fortunately, Xia Na spoke up for her at the time!

Otherwise, probably everyone in the entire Wuyun Kingdom, everyone in the Eight Treasures Studio, would have known she liked to run away.

But when Su Yang heard Yun Shuying say she was going to tell Xia Na about her relationship with him,

Su Yang felt miserable!

He turned around, wanting to leave, but Xia Na grabbed him.

"Master, where are you going?"

"It's time to head home!"

"Stay!" Xia Na, holding onto Su Yang, said to Yun Shuying, "Sister Shuying, please continue."

"Su Yang is a General of the Huaxia Federation. Back when we went to seek the Annihilating Phoenix, we ran into a powerful enemy from the Shenlongshang Alliance. Even though he clearly knew he was no match, he still took it upon himself to stay behind and cover my retreat… I've always remembered that debt of gratitude, which is why I speak up for the Huaxia Federation."

Su Yang quietly let out a breath, his palms slightly damp with sweat.

This Yun Shuying still wasn't telling the truth.

He covered Yun Shuying's retreat?

It was all lies!

But he truly didn't know how to judge this woman!

A very strange feeling!

"But Elder Long said you had a romance with that General Su?"

"He misunderstood!" Yun Shuying argued. "He doesn't know anything. Besides, he wasn't even with us when it happened."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Back at the villa, Su Yang lay on the sofa without saying a word.

In his mind, he was still thinking about Yun Shuying.

It wasn't that old feelings were rekindling, just a touch of wistful sentiment.

Human nature, sure enough, was complicated.

It couldn't be summed up simply.

Seeing Su Yang not speak, Xia Na actually started feeling guilty.

"Master, what's wrong? Are you angry?"
