Chapter 388 Never Leave, Never Betray (3)
An Yiqing was unaware of what Duan Tang had in mind, but after hearing his words, she could fully picture the whimsical appearance of the old trickster Duan Yuntian.
"Please relay a message to Grandpa Duan for me, I’ll visit him after this busy period. Also, Grandpa has agreed to throw a homecoming banquet for me, and you and Grandpa Duan must attend," she said.
Duan Tang nodded, "Of course! Once the time and place are set, you must tell me straight away! I’ll need to prepare a generous gift!"
An Yiqing’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she shook her head and chuckled lightly, "What’s all this fuss about a generous gift? As long as you and these friends show up, that will be more than enough for me. By the way, how’s the Muyun Society been recently?"
"Nothing major. Xiong Tian died a while back and the Canglang Sect had you brought into the police station. I wasn’t pleased with their methods, so I surreptitiously interfered a bit. Recently, Tan Bing may have caught onto me, and he’s in a hurry to retaliate. But it’s nothing serious—the Muyun Society is too well-established to fall," Duan Tang said with a slight smile, brushing over the matter.
An Yiqing was no fool. Though Duan Tang spoke lightly, the strife in jianghu was a matter of life and death, and bloodshed was inevitable.
"I didn’t realize that this trouble started because of me." She felt somewhat moved, not expecting that Duan Tang would go so far as to offend the Canglang Sect on her account.
"It’s not entirely because of you. I’ve wanted to get involved with the Canglang Sect for some time now. I just took the opportunity of your being framed to make some moves. You have no reason for guilt," Duan Tang shook his head, mentioning it casually.
An Yiqing understood which parts of Duan Tang’s words were true and which were false. Since he didn’t want her to feel burdened, she decided to act as though she didn’t know. There were many ways to assist a friend; she could offer her support discreetly when the time came.
However... There were some things she needed to remind him of.
