Chapter 1722 - Condition
Both sides fell into a stalemate. The feud between the Wen Clan and the City Lord Mansion had taken root long ago, and over the years, the Wen Clan had even sent spies into the City Lord Mansion. Without exception, the City Lord Mansion had exposed and executed each of them.As the saying goes, one should never intend to harm others, but one must always guard against others. For that reason, Ye Linghan's suspicion toward Liu Wuxie's identity was understandable.
Chen Ping, however, naturally couldn't reveal it to her. If his enemies learned the truth, the consequences would become unimaginable.
Chen Ping and Liu Wuxie knew nothing about the feud between the Wen Clan and the City Lord Mansion, so they believed Ye Linghan was being unreasonable. Ye Linghan, on the other hand, believed Chen Ping and Liu Wuxie were deliberately hiding something, which instantly deepened her suspicion. Just like that, the misunderstanding took shape.
At this point, it was no longer about who was right or wrong. It could only be called a coincidence arranged by fate.
"If you don't explain things clearly today, there's no need for the Peace and Stability Merchant Association to continue existing," Ye Linghan said coldly, and a terrifying chill filled the main hall.
Liu Wuxie had saved her father, and she had just returned the favor by saving his life. That meant neither side owed the other anything anymore. Even if Ye Linghan destroyed the Peace and Stability Merchant Association now, she wouldn't feel guilty.
Her father, Ye Guhai, had reached the Divine Immortal Realm, and experts filled the entire City Lord Mansion. Destroying the Peace and Stability Merchant Association would require almost no effort on their part. The two sides remained locked in confrontation, neither willing to yield.
"Lady Ye, I know that you suspect Uncle Liu's identity. But I can swear to the heavens that the Peace and Stability Merchant Association would never do anything to harm the City Lord Mansion's interests," Chen An assured, rising to his feet and raising one hand toward the sky as he swore an oath before Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan wasn't the only one who had suspected Liu Wuxie's identity at first. Chen Ping and Chen An had also doubted him. After all, Liu Wuxie had appeared out of nowhere, saved them, and then saved Ye Guhai as well. Such a series of actions didn't look like something a mere heavenly immortal could accomplish.
"I believe you won't do anything to harm the City Lord Mansion, but I want to know who you really are," Ye Linghan said. She had come here to investigate Liu Wuxie's origins. After seeing him slay High Immortals while still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, she felt that she would regret it if she failed to uncover the truth.
"We have our difficulties, and it's not that we're unwilling to tell you, Lady Ye. Please forgive us," Chen Ping said, his expression turning troubled.
