Chapter 1702: Chapter 1703: Strikingly Similar Methods

The influence of Gong Juechen is truly immense, and it really makes people wary.

An Jing understood Xiao Changyi’s concerns, but she still said, ”We must trust Chengyu. He has always been true to his word. Since he’s come around, I believe that no matter how powerful Gong Juechen’s forces are, he won’t be scared of Gong Juechen anymore.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”Let’s hope so.”

”It will definitely be like this, husband, rest assured,” Unlike Xiao Changyi, who was somewhat pessimistic, An Jing was very open-minded and optimistic. ”Gong Juechen clearly has the means to do whatever he wants. Conquering this world would surely be easy for him, but he doesn’t want it. He hasn’t even exposed his strength, and he’s saved Chengyu several times. Chengyu is no fool; he must understand.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Changyi nodded, indicating his agreement. He was no longer so worried.

Soon after, as if thinking of something, Xiao Changyi’s expression darkened again.

”Husband, what’s wrong with you?” An Jing didn’t understand why Xiao Changyi suddenly looked like this and asked.

Xiao Changyi didn’t hide it but also didn’t speak directly and asked, ”Do you remember why Dongqing was able to capture the seven cities of Beihe so quickly back then?”

”I remember, wasn’t it said to be with the help of Slayer Tower? Why?” An Jing asked instinctively. As soon as she asked, she understood herself, eyes widening, ”You mean?!”

”It’s very possible.” Xiao Changyi still didn’t say it explicitly, just nodded. ”Several thousand people annihilated nearly a hundred thousand troops, which is very similar to when Slayer Tower helped Dongqing attack Beihe.”

”Hearing you say this, I also think it’s very possible...” Saying this, An Jing’s face turned bitter, ”If this is true...then I kind of understand why Gong Juechen always hides his strength from us. Perhaps he’s not afraid of Chengyu being wary of him, but he’s afraid we can’t accept him.”

If Slayer Tower is really led by Gong Juechen, and Gong Juechen’s influence is so big, there’s no need to fear Su Chengyu. If that’s true, then there’s only one possibility: Gong Juechen fears they can’t accept him.

At this time, Xiao Changyi seemed at ease and even had the mood to joke, ”I always said he’s a troublemaker.”

An Jing was immediately amused, ”After all, he helped us so much, you shouldn’t gripe about him like that.”

Xiao Changyi no longer griped but sighed again and said, ”No matter if Slayer Tower has anything to do with him, when we go back, I will definitely tear off his mask.”

An Jing raised one eyebrow, ”Are you that confident?”

”...You have to trust me.”

An Jing immediately laughed, ”How can I not trust you? I just wanted to tease you seeing how confident you are.”

Xiao Changyi could only look at An Jing with a slightly helpless yet extremely doting smile.

An Jing laughed for a while and didn’t ask him any more about why he was so confident, but said, ”Once we solve things here, we’ll go home and reunite with the children. I really miss them. In Quiet Heart Garden, if I’m not thinking of you, I’m thinking of the kids.”

”Hmm.” In fact, he missed the kids very much too. They were his own children; how could he not miss them at all?

An Jing looked around at the secret chamber she and Xiao Changyi were in and then said, ”This place is really safe. If it weren’t for that person bringing me here just now, I definitely couldn’t have gotten in. Dongfang Tianyang’s people are still looking for you outside, but unfortunately, they couldn’t dream that we’re underground right now.”
