640 I Didn’t Mean That
“No, Captain, you may have misunderstood. Chenglin won’t be in a situation where she can’t survive on the Spirit Severing Cliff—”
“Would she have left with Ming Fucheng if she could?” Ye Chengzong retorted, not wanting to listen to him.
Would she have left with Ming Fucheng if everyone at the Spirit Severing Cliff had treated Ye Chenglin well? Did she not know what Ming Fucheng was like?
“Uh!” Old Jiang was stunned.
What could he say? That Ye Chenglin would do anything for her own sake?
She could even threaten their Master with a medicinal pill. What else could she not do?
Perhaps she felt that she had completely offended their Master and would not have a chance to make a comeback, so she left with Ming Fucheng.
Instead of accomplishing nothing at Camp Zhan Yun, she might as well try her luck with Ming Fucheng. She might be able to seize this opportunity to turn things around.
However, he did not dare say that to his captain.
“Captain, you’ve asked them for help before. They won’t—”
“It must be Qin Tingfeng! He must be behind this!”
Before Old Jiang could finish, Ye Chengzong interrupted him and gritted his teeth.
If he had prevented Qin Tingfeng from going to the Spirit Severing Cliff and allowed Qin Yifeng to go instead, would his sister have come back with Qin Yifeng?
“I knew that young brat wasn’t that honest. He must have bullied Chenglin into leaving Spirit Severing Cliff. That’s why she went with Ming Fucheng!” he concluded firmly.
“No, Captain, that’s really not likely.”
Ye Chengzong’s wild imagination shocked Old Jiang.
Who would believe that Qin Tingfeng bullied Ye Chenglin? With Ye Chenglin’s personality, who knew who would suffer if Qin Tingfeng had actually bullied her?
He continued helplessly, “Qin Tingfeng is just a child. How can he bully Chenglin? Besides, Qin Tingfeng doesn’t have the final say in the Spirit Severing Cliff.”
Ye Chengzong looked at Old Jiang coldly and asked, “You think Qin Tingfeng is better than Chenglin?”
Old Jiang opened his mouth. How was he supposed to answer that?
“I didn’t mean that, Captain. I really didn’t.”
It was not that he thought Qin Tingfeng was better than Ye Chenglin—it was simply the truth. Everyone knew that. Would anyone believe him if he claimed that Ye Chenglin was beautiful, kind, and had a good temper?
“I just don’t think Qin Tingfeng will mistreat Chenglin. After all, so many people are watching. Even if Qin Tingfeng wants to deal with Chenglin, he won’t be able to. Don’t you think so?”
Ye Chengzong took another deep breath. “Qin Tingfeng! I won’t let him off!”
“Uh…” Old Jiang was stunned again.
He did not understand how Qin Tingfeng could be held responsible for Ye Chenglin’s decision to run away with someone.
“Captain, Chenglin made Mistress angry,” he reminded him.
Qin Tingfeng and his sister were unlucky to be implicated in Ye Chenglin’s wrongdoings. Why was Ye Chengzong targeting them now? Was there any justice in this?
“Mistress!” Ye Chengzong gritted his teeth. “Master shouldn’t have brought Mistress to Huayan Peak, causing Chenglin to suffer so much!
Old Jiang was extremely shocked.
What did this have to do with the Mistress?
Did the Mistress ask Ye Chenglin to target her? Ye Chenglin was the one targeting her!
