821 This Chief Will Not Stay in This G.o.ds Bestow Tribe Anymore!
Big Sister Bell struggled to lift her head, and her face was vaguely visible. With all courtesy, Jiang Yi didn’t use his divine senses to check, but his vision—which was better than others—allowed him to see that Big Sister Bell had slimmed down a lot. Her eyes were dimmed and without light as she looked at Jiang Yi with dazzled eyes and greeted, “Chief Jiang, it has been a long time.”
“Chief Jiang?”
The corner of Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed a trace of agony. With their close relations.h.i.+p, Big Sister Bell actually addressed him as Chief Jiang? Jiang Yi felt a slight pain in his heart when he saw her thin face. What exactly happened to Big Sister Bell? What made her become like this?
He stared for a long time before he spoke, “Big Sister Bell, can we speak alone?”
“No!”
Lei Qiyan took over and replied, “Jiang Yi, Qiling is my fiancée. Please mind yourself!”
Jiang Yi ignored Lei Qiyan and didn’t even blink. He stared at Big Sister Bell and waited for her reply.
Big Sister Bell had disappointed her as she gave a bitter smile and said, “Chief Jiang, we can discuss anything here.”
“Uh…”
Qian w.a.n.guan and Feng Luan looked at each other with astonished expressions. It was already a very strange thing for Big Sister Bell to attend with Lei Qiyan today, and they were even sitting together. Right now, her att.i.tude towards Jiang Yi was extremely strange; and in their impressions, Big Sister Bell wasn’t someone like this.
“Alright then!”
Jiang Yi nodded repeatedly and spoke with an absolutely firm voice, “Big Sister Bell, do you remember the words I said when you left? Those words will remain effective forever.”
Before Big Sister Bell left, Jiang Yi said… if she ran into any danger outside, please come to find him immediately. As long as the Nine Dragons’ G.o.d-Extinguis.h.i.+ng Array was not on, he would take Big Sister Bell to flee no matter who was pursuing her.
Big Sister Bell’s body s.h.i.+vered, but she quickly lowered her head and replied in an indifferent voice, “What did Chief Jiang say? Qiling had already forgotten about it. Qiling is doing well now, and Qiling appreciates Chief Jiang’s regards.”
Jiang Yi fell silent and no longer looked at Big Sister Bell. It didn’t matter if she meant what she said or if she had difficulties, saying more would only make her feel worse. He had no choice but to remain silent.
“Hahaha!”
Lei Qiyan laughed heartily as though he had just won a battle and was in high spirits. He personally poured a cup of wine for Big Sister Bell and looked at Situ Yixiao while saying, “Come, Qiling, let us give a toast to Yixiao. Today is Yixiao’s birthday.”
Big Sister Bellow paused a little and raised her cup with Lei Qiyan and toasted to Situ Yixiao who was seated faraway in the host’s seat. They looked as though they were in harmony, making Jiang Yi and others spew fire from their eyes. Since Big Sister Bell was behaving like this, they couldn’t say anything about it.
Jiang Yi was still saying silent while he lowered his head and drowned his sorrows. The tense atmosphere of the main hall was gradually alleviated. As the host, Situ Yixiao naturally couldn’t allow any awkward silence as Situ Yinian quickly got up and toasted to the various young masters and ladies, making the atmosphere lively again.
“Big Sister Bell, what difficulties do you have? What happened? Can you tell Jiang Yi? I will definitely find a way to help you!”
Jiang Yi took the opportunity when Lei Qiyan stood up to toast a drink with someone as he silently transmitted a message to Big Sister Bell. However, it was as though the message entered the sea like the mud as Big Sister Bell didn’t have any reaction—as though she didn’t hear a thing.
Jiang Yi didn’t dare to transmit any more messages while he continued to drown his sorrows. Because of this, Qian w.a.n.guan wasn’t in the mood as well. Many people toasted to him, and he didn’t even get up and casually took a sip, making the young masters and ladies a little awkward.
“Come, come, come. Everyone, raise your cups! I will toast all of you!”
Lei Qiyan was very bombastic today as though he was the host. His face was as thick as the city walls as he constantly toasted to everyone while his open-minded laughter echoed non-stop, making Jiang Yi and others feeling particularly uncomfortable.
Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Yi attempted to transmit two messages; but there wasn’t any response. He sighed helplessly, and it seemed like this banquet was hosted in vain. He informed Qian w.a.n.guan a few things and was preparing to leave.
“Hahaha!”
Lei Qiyan took a glance at Jiang Yi with his peripheral vision, and when he saw that Jiang Yi was preparing to leave, Lei Qiyan laughed and stood up. “Everyone, I have great news that I forgot to share with everyone. Just two days ago, I have been officially engaged with Qiling, and the wedding ceremony will be hosted one year later. At that time, I hope everyone here can show up.”
Jiang Yi was just about to stand up, but he sat back down and looked at Lei Qiyan. He wanted to see what kind of trick Lei Qiyan wanted to play and humiliate him? When Lei Qiyan noticed Jiang Yi’s eyes, he looked at Jiang Yi with provocative eyes and mocked. “Brother Jiang, I earnestly request you to show up as well.”
Jiang Yi’s mouth suddenly arced up as he revealed a resplendent smile and said, “Sure. On that day, I will give the Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and the Mother Earth Armor as congratulatory gifts to Big Sister Bell!”
“…”
The whole crowd was silent while many of the silent young masters were delighted in their hearts. Jiang Yi was. .h.i.tting back, and there was going to be a good show tonight. The Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and the Mother Earth Armor were Lei Qiyan’s scars, and Jiang Yi was obviously trying to open up those scars right now.
Lei Qiyan’s expression changed as expected, but his eyes flickered as he smiled and said, “Primal Chaos Iron Ruler and Mother Earth Armor? Those are just some low-level toys. Our Lei Clan has plenty of those. I and Qiling appreciate Brother Jiang’s good intentions. Qiling, since Brother Jiang is doing us a great favor, shall we offer a toast to him?”
Lei Qiyan looked at Big Sister Bell and raised his wine cup while the latter stood up after some hesitations and lifted the cup. Who would have expected for Lei Qiyan to take the opportunity and embrace her?
Big Sister Bell’s body shook as she wanted to struggle free by twisting her body, but Lei Qiyan hugged even tighter and lowered his head to whisper, “Qiling, are you not feeling well? Shall I send you back and allow your Nangong Clan to take a look at you?”
Lei Qiyan’s final statement felt as though it struck Big Sister Bell’s Achilles’ heel as she immediately stopped struggling and allowed Lei Qiyan to embrace her. Lei Qiyan laughed loudly and raised his cup to Jiang Yi from far away. “Brother Jiang, come, we will toast a cup to you! Qiyan will also certainly take good care of Qiling for you and guarantee she will be happy and blessed…”
It was obvious that Lei Qiyan’s information gathering wasn’t on point as he a.s.sumed that Big Sister Bell once had a relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yi. His statement today had made everyone misunderstood as they thought Lei Qiyan was openly s.n.a.t.c.hing Jiang Yi’s woman and was here to humiliated him in public.
The crowd was silent as they looked at Jiang Yi and wanted to see his reaction.
Jiang Yi didn’t fly into a rage and was surprisingly calm. He looked at Big Sister Bell in a daze with eyes of pain. More than ten breaths of time later, he stood up abruptly and brought Feng Luan and Huangfu Taotian out immediately.
Back at Jiang Castle, Jiang Yi remained speechless. Huangfu Taotian waited for a moment and spoke indignantly, “Jiang Yi, shall I ambush them later and s.n.a.t.c.h Nangong Qiling back for you?”
Jiang Yi shook his hand, indicating for Huangfu Taotian to be patient. After Qian w.a.n.guan rushed in, Jiang Yi stood up and said, “w.a.n.guan, 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 s.n.a.t.c.h 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 G.o.ds Bestow Tribe anymore!”
