524 You Let Him Repay His Debt of Gratitude?
Yan Qin was confused. She had a point, didn’t she?
He was confused, but he instinctively felt that it made sense.
Ye Chengzong did save him, but would he have had the chance if he had not stopped the demonic beasts first? Certainly not!
“Can it be interpreted that way?” He was still puzzled.
“Why not?” An Jiuyue replied with another question.
Yan Qin owed him a debt of gratitude for saving his life? She scoffed.
Ye Chengzong owed Yan Qin his life. Yet a self-righteous woman, who desired Qian Jiyun, boasted brazenly that her brother had saved Yan Qin’s life and used that to coerce him.
“Think about it. If you didn’t stop the demonic beasts back then, would they still be alive?”
“No.” Yan Qin shook his head instinctively.
They had been in despair back then and believed they would die.
He could not have critically injured those demonic beasts if he did not believe he was going to die. He thought they would have died if he had not stopped the demonic beasts.
“That settles it, right?” An Jiuyue clapped her hands and shrugged. “Since no one would be alive without you, how can they save you? The dead can’t save you, right?”
“Yes.” Yan Qin agreed instinctively.
“So, in conclusion, Ye Chengzong didn’t save you. You saved all of them. Understood?” An Jiuyue added.
“Yes.” Yan Qin nodded, agreeing with her.
“Mhm, it’s good that you think that way. Not bad.” An Jiuyue nodded in satisfaction.
“If you didn’t let them go back then, they would have died long ago. How would they have the chance to save you? Hence, you owe nobody a debt of gratitude for your life. You’re the one who saved them,” she said with certainty.
“I understand, Mistress.”
“It’s good that you understand. You must be tired from guarding the protected grounds last night. Go back and rest.” An Jiuyue waved at him, gesturing for him to return to his tent to rest.
“I’ll take my leave.” Yan Qin left.
An Jiuyue turned around after Yan Qin had left and looked at the man walking out of a screen in the tent.
“You let him repay his debt of gratitude?”
“Yan Qin thinks he’s indebted to Ye Chengzong,” Qian Jiyun said.
He also tried to persuade Yan Qin that he was the one who saved all of them, but Yan Qin was stubborn and believed that Ye Chengzong had saved him.
“I couldn’t persuade him and could only let him repay his debt of gratitude. However, Yan Qin never mentioned that Ye Chenglin dared to tamper with my food, so I didn’t know about it.
“Yan Qin has always accompanied me to Huayan Peak all these years. He’s also in charge of my three daily meals.”
An Jiuyue was speechless.
“It’s been hard on him. He’s had a hard time all these years, but he still has to keep an eye on her for you.”
She shook her head and found it rather amusing. Fortunately, he did not betray Qian Jiyun. Otherwise, something terrible would have happened.
“Yan Qin isn’t just doing this to repay his debt of gratitude, right?” she asked.
“Ye Chengzong’s Original Soul energy is not bad, and he can distinguish right from wrong,” Qian Jiyun said seriously.
If Ye Chengzong found out that his younger sister had done such a thing, he would probably be the first to punish her.
“His loyalty to me is undeniable.”
