Chapter 822 - 822 Nangong Qiling

822 Nangong Qiling

Jiang Yi shook his hand, indicating for Huangfu Taotian to be patient. After Qian Wanguan rushed in, Jiang Yi stood up and said,
Wanguan, Big Sister Bell must have some difficulties that place her against her will. You must do everything to investigate it clearly. In addition, give the Nangong Clan whatever they want and risk everything to get them to break the engagement. If nothing else works… I will personally go snatch her. You and Huangfu Taotian do not get involved. Hurhur, Lei Qiyan… if you force my hand, this Chief will extinguish you. This Chief will not stay in this Gods Bestow Tribe anymore!

Lei Qiyan was extremely happy as he drank three cups of wine consecutively after Jiang Yi left. He then looked at Nangong Qiling with lascivious eyes and wished he could swallow her and willfully humiliate her in public, venting the embarrassment that Jiang Yi brought to him in the past.
Nangong Qiling was also very strange as she had been remaining silent. It was as though the previous confident and unconstrained Big Sister Bell had changed a whole new personality. She didn’t speak any word until the end of the banquet and left quietly with Nangong Muyu later on.
For the next few days, Jiang Yi had been silently cultivating in the Jiang Castle and didn’t make any moves, disappointing the various young masters and ladies even more. However, when they thought about it, they understood why. Nangong Qiling was a descendant of the Nangong Clan, and she didn’t object to this engagement either. Unless Jiang Yi was prepared to go into war from the Nangong and Lei Clans, he wouldn’t recklessly make a move; or the Situ Clan wouldn’t be able to protect him.

Boss, I found out the reason!



On the eighth day, Qian Wanguan appeared in Jiang Castle. With his current capability, it was too easy to find out such information. If he wanted to secretly do something, not even Situ Yixiao would know.
Jiang Yi was currently practicing his painting skills. He tossed the brush in his hand aside and waved at Qing Yu who was standing beside him. He turned around and spoke in a serious tone,
Speak!

Qing Yu obediently walked out while Qian Wanguan activated the restriction in the room and spoke slowly,
Big Sister Bell is actually the daughter of Nangong Yunhe, Nangong Yunyi’s younger brother. However, Nangong Yunhe had perished in battle when Big Sister Bell was just two years old. Furthermore, Big Sister Bell’s mother was a servant girl. Big Sister Bell might be a direct descendant with impressive talents, but her status in Nangong Clan was still not high. Big Sister Bell had cultivated diligently since young and wanted to speak out for her mother and let her mother have a better life!

She cultivated a soul spirit secret technique which has an aggressive attack power. The clan originally wanted to nurture her, but it was a pity that she had been fancied by a Young Master from the Lu Clan during a banquet. That Young Master was Lu Lin’s elder brother, Lu Xun. He had overwhelming talents and was a genius that had hopes of becoming the next Lu Clan Head. The Nangong Clan naturally agreed for the engagement as Big Sister Bell wasn’t considered anyone in the Nangong Clan.

Lu Xun met with tragedy. When Big Sister Bell was set off for the ceremony, he had also led his men to fetch her in the middle of the journey, but his subordinate noticed a naturally mystic realm. This type of mystic realm was rare and valuable; hence, he led his men to scout immediately. As a result, apart from two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs that escaped, everyone else perished; and Big Sister Bell was turned into a widow!

If Big Sister Bell was Nangong Yunyi’s daughter, or perhaps if her mother wasn’t a petty servant girl, this wedding would have been called off. It was a pity that Nangong Yunyi is an old-fashioned and harsh individual as he insisted for Big Sister Bell to be married over. It was rumored that… Big Sister Bell hugged a spirit tablet into the bridal room.

This still wasn’t the worst. The worst thing was that Lu Xun and Lu Lin had a cousin brother, Qin Gang, who actually fancied Big Sister Bell. He felt that since she was a widow and didn’t have a great status in the Nangong Clan, it would be a waste to be a widow in the Lu Clan. He was preparing to violate Big Sister Bell. After getting drunk, Qin Gang barged into Big Sister Bell’s courtyard and had even killed two servant girls from the Nangong Clan who Big Sister Bell treated like sisters. Under rage, Big Sister Bell made a move and severely injured Qin Gang. Just as she was going to kill Qin Gang, a Lu Clan’s elder appeared to rescue Qin Gang and distorted the truth deliberately. He accused Big Sister Bell of seducing Qin Gang. Back then, Big Sister Bell didn’t explain anything and took the corpses of the two servant girls and left White Dragon City.

Big Sister Bell initially wanted to return to Gods Bestow Island and request for the Nangong Clan to take revenge. However, when she thought about how inflexible Nangong Yunyi was, she reckoned that she wouldn’t be able to take revenge even if she returned and would only make her mother suffer even more. Hence, she went to Sky Thunder Island alone and was preparing to concentrate on cultivation to take revenge for her sisterly servant girls! This should also be the reason why Lu Ping took care of Big Sister Bell.

Boss should be able to guess about the matters afterward. After Big Sister Bell made achievements with her cultivation, she returned to White Dragon City and killed Qin Gang personally. She killed her way into the Qin Clan and was nearly killed by them. At her final moments before her death, the Lu Clan Head—Lu Li—transmitted a message and saved Big Sister Bell. As Big Sister Bell was still descendant of the Nangong Clan, and she must not die in White Dragon City. Lu Li then sent someone to escort Big Sister Bell back to Gods Bestow City!

As for… the time when we visited the Nangong Clan, Nangong Yunyi didn’t allow us to see her because he was afraid the outsiders might gossip about them. After all, Big Sister Bell’s actions in the Lu Clan were considered a violation of a woman’s morality to Nangong Yunyi and had ruined their Nangong Clan’s reputation. When Boss spoke in public during the auction… that you admire Big Sister Bell very much, Nangong Yunyi’s old face must have been very embarrassed.



There isn’t even a need to investigate about Lei Qiyan’s proposal for marriage as he was definitely taking revenge on Boss. As for the reason why Big Sister Bell agreed to this marriage and was so accommodating during Yixiao’s birthday banquet, it was obviously… due to the fear of the Nangong Clan dealing with her mother. After her father perished, her mother was just a servant girl back then and was left to her own devices. If Big Sister Bell didn’t comply, her mother would definitely meet with a tragic end!

Bang!
After Qian Wanguan finished speaking, Jiang Yi slammed hard on the stone table, turning all the rare brushes and ink stones that Situ Ao gifted into dust. He had an ashen expression and closed his eyes while his body was shaking slightly.
Qian Wanguan didn’t dare to speak as he knew that Jiang Yi was already at the extremity of his anger. Big Sister Bell and Jiang Yi were just like lovers and like siblings, and she even did so many favors for them. Right now, she was suffering because Lei Qiyan wanted to take revenge on them. It was imaginable, how furious Jiang Yi was feeling right now.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jian Yi let out a few large breaths and opened his eyes.
Is there a chance to negotiate with the Nangong Clan? To get them to break the engagement? I can give them the Mother Earth Armor, the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler, one thousand—ten thousand Heaven Paintings, or even more excessive requests. I just want the Nangong Clan to release Big Sister Bell and her mother!


Sigh…

Qian Wanguan let out a deep sigh and shook his head lightly.
It will probably be very difficult. It would be easier if it was Huangfu Qi or Lei Tingwei, but Nangong Yunyi’s temperament is too inflexible. I will do my best, Boss. The Nangong Clan actually wants to join the Soaring Dragon Merchant Association, but they are not tempted by treasures. I will make contact with Nangong Muyu for now and test Nangong Yunyi’s intention. Do not be rash, Boss. There is still one more year, and we might be able to turn things around.


Alright, go and handle this matter!

Jiang Yi patted Qian Wanguan’s shoulder and didn’t speak with any courtesy. He knew that even if he said nothing, Qian Wanguan would also do his best.


After Qian Wanguan walked out, Jiang Yi stood silently in the room while his mind was filled with scenes of when he first encountered Big Sister Bell.

Chief Jiang, you have returned? This servant has been waiting for you for a long time.


Chief Jiang, this servant is called Qi Ling. I naturally entered Chief Jiang’s courtyard to hug your legs. As long as Chief Jiang is willing to protect me in the future, Qi Ling will belong to you; and you can do anything to me…


What a sweet mouth you have. Alright, I’m treating you as my little brother. I’ll bring you to meet the City Lord after we return!

Recalling his first encounter with Big Sister Bell and her witty and charming expression, Jiang Yi felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he remembered Big Sister Bell’s zombie-like and resigned appearance back at the banquet.
He then thought about the fact that this woman had been suffering since she was young. It was probable that she had her happiest days when she was staying in Sky Thunder City during those years. If she was to marry Lei Qiyan, she would definitely want to die than to live, making Jiang Yi even more anxious.
He gripped his fist tightly and spoke with resolute eyes,
I must rescue Big Sister Bell out of the living hell. I must!
