Chapter 737

The three from the Zhenbaoge Society fled in disgrace.

"My lord, isn't that letting them off too easily?"

"Yes, they dared to ambush you—they shouldn't have been allowed to leave!"

"…"

The officers of Mount Dajiao held an inexplicable confidence in Su Yang.

Indeed, Su Yang's actions were worthy of their trust.

What of Liao Yuankai?

What of the Zhenbaoge Society?

Didn't their city lord bring them to heel?

"Those three include two Sovereign-level experts!" Su Yang explained. "If I truly fought them, I'd be fine—but I fear you'd be hurt… I don't want another tragedy like the one half a month ago here in the city lord's mansion!"

Feng Yuanjie and the other Mount Dajiao officers were moved.

Who says their city lord is cruel?

Their city lord is clearly considerate of his subordinates!

Even the Zhenbaoge Society—just to avenge those dead soldiers—Su Yang dared to confront them and strangle every last killer!

Thinking of this, they felt an urge to die for Su Yang!

"Forgive us, my lord—we've held you back!"

"It's not your fault. Talent has its limits. As long as you strive to improve and stay true to your conscience, that's enough!"

The crowd cried out in righteous fury: "My lord, you absolutely cannot let them go!"

"Our Southeast Military Department must not provoke a major conflict with the Zhenbaoge Society for now—I have my own plan!" Su Yang waved his hand. "Take the bodies and disperse. I want to be alone."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Liu Mengyun, stay behind!"

"Yes!"

After the others left, Liu Mengyun gently closed the office door.

Liu Mengyun asked softly: "My lord, you deliberately lured Xi Yao into a trap, didn't you?"

She was certain Su Yang had known beforehand that the beast egg was flawed.

Su Yang's perceptiveness was the most terrifying she had ever seen.

"Mm." Su Yang nodded without hesitation.

Liu Mengyun was one of his own.

No need to hide it.

"You're aiming at the Zhenbaoge Society?"

"No."

"Good!"

Liu Mengyun exhaled in relief.

From any perspective, Su Yang should not confront the Zhenbaoge Society.

Moreover, Liu Mengyun's father was still with the Zhenbaoge Society.

She didn't want them to clash!

"Then you're targeting Xi Yao?"

"No."

Su Yang always distinguished clearly between grudges and kindness—he never planned to target a girl like this.

Liu Mengyun frowned: "Then make them pay more?"

"No."

The benefits were already enough—Su Yang wasn't someone who craved endless gains!

Liu Mengyun was even more puzzled: "Then why?"

Su Yang smiled: "I say I'm trying to make peace with the Zhenbaoge Society—do you believe me?"

"This…"

Liu Mengyun froze.

He's trying to make peace with the Zhenbaoge Society?

She couldn't follow Su Yang's reasoning.

"Think—Xi Yao, even if she doesn't die, will lose a layer of skin, right?"

"Mm."

"If I report this incident upward, won't the Zhenbaoge Society be put in a terrible position?"

"Yes!"

Su Yang smiled: "What if I let Xi Yao go now?"

Liu Mengyun suddenly understood.

She looked at the pale green beast egg and smiled: "My lord, this beast egg must be quite valuable, right?"

Su Yang smiled approvingly: "Indeed… extremely, extremely valuable!"

Twinborn offspring—if its life force is replenished, its growth potential might reach Divine rank!

Standing before Su Yang, Liu Mengyun suddenly found him terrifying.

Thick-skinned, heart even darker, extraordinary talent, immense strength, unparalleled background…

Those who opposed him met fates worse than the last.

Su Yang handed the contract to Liu Liu Mengyun: "Print a color copy, keep the duplicate, and give the original to Xi Yao. Tell her I also believe she didn't intentionally target me—there must be some misunderstanding. Let this Young Lady of the Treasure Pavilion, along with the other two King-level experts, owe me this favor!"

"Understood!"

Liu Liu Mengyun knew what to do.

Keeping a color copy still left evidence.

Even if Xi Yao reneged, she could still be crushed later!

Don't forget, this world has beasts capable of reading memories!

Fan Fan Rufeng, Bai Cang, Xi Yao, and the High-ranking military officials of Mount Dajiao… all still retain their memories!

When leaving the governor's mansion, Xi Yao was carried away by two King-level experts.

Xi Yao asked in a low voice: "Old Fan, do you think I'll be sent to a military tribunal?"

"Relax. Once we return to the Treasure Pavilion's headquarters, Elder Xi will protect you!"

"Old Fan, do you think I'm really my grandfather's biological daughter?" Xi Yao asked again in a low voice. "Why did he give me that beast egg?"

Old Fan sighed: "You're definitely not your grandfather's biological daughter—you're your father's. You two look alike!"

He knew Xi Yao was so worried she was speaking incoherently!

"Old Fan, do you think I'll die? I heard Marshal Xu values Su Yang greatly… do you think I'll be abandoned by the Treasure Pavilion like Liu Liu Mengyun?"

"Impossible. Elder Xi will never let you go—he'll definitely save you!"

"…."

Seeing Xi Yao in this state,

Fan Fan Rufeng and Bai Cang felt just as uneasy.
