Yun Buyao’s words were also what Jian Ai was thinking.
However, as for the reason, they did not know because Hans did not know, and neither did Lao Liu. It might be related to the internal affairs of the Qiusi royal family, or it might be for some other reason that they could not think of. They could only know this after a deeper investigation in the future.
Although everyone was talking, Bai Zhou maintained an expressionless expression. They saw this and did not know what he was thinking.
As if not wanting to give him too much pressure, Yu Wuyuan immediately whispered, “Bai Zhou, everyone’s words are just their opinions on this matter. You can refer to them, but there’s no need to be too obsessed. The decision of this matter is still in your hands. Whether or not you want to sponsor them, it’s your choice. We support you!”
“That’s right. The main thing is how you think of this matter. Don’t worry, even without them, we can still protect you. We won’t let anything happen to you,” Chi Lian said.
When Bai Zhou heard this, he smiled at everyone and nodded gently. “I know. Thank you.”
Bai Zhou looked exceptionally listless today. It was obvious that the truth had shocked him. After interacting with him for so long, Jian Ai had never seen the usually optimistic Bai Zhou show such helplessness.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, everyone could feel his pain.
At this moment, Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai and asked, “Boss, what do you think?”
Jian Ai paused and chuckled. “What you mean is what I mean!”
Jian Ai slowly exhaled and looked at Bai Zhou with a serious expression. “I don’t want to interfere with your decision. Just as Chi Lian said, even without them, we will protect you. However, the problem is whether you want their support in your heart.”
“Of course, I know that some people secretly fund international terrorist organizations because these people have ambitions and desires. However, you don’t have any of these. You don’t want to ask for the crown of Qiusi. The status of a prince is a restraint for you. You want freedom, you like China, and you like everyone in the ancient sect. We know all of this.
“But the problem is that the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won’t stop. You did nothing, but some people don’t want you to stay out of it and forcefully involve you in a conspiracy that you don’t even know why.
“Therefore, you need to think about this calmly. What do you want to do next? Give yourself an answer and strengthen your heart.
“As long as it’s your decision, all of us will support you!”
Jian Ai didn’t say it too bluntly and absolutely, leaving some flexibility for Bai Zhou to think. To put it bluntly, Jian Ai’s meaning was very clear. The only question she hoped Bai Zhou would think about was whether to retaliate!
If the answer was no, it meant that Bai Zhou still could not cut off his feelings for his brother, and he would not want to compete for the throne of Qiusi. This way, there was no point in Bai Zhou collaborating with Hans because to protect his safety, the ancient sect had enough people!
However, if the answer was yes and Bai Zhou retaliated, he would indeed need a mercenary group as his backing to fight against Qi Ye.
Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Bai Zhou nodded gently. However, he could not focus on this matter now. He needed to give himself some time. He could only consider other things after he had completely digested the current negative emotions.
“I’ll think about it,” Bai Zhou said in a low voice.
Seeing this, the others didn’t mention this topic anymore. Everyone believed that Bai Zhou would make a choice he thought was right, and what they had to do was support his choice without hesitation and stand beside him!
The night was as cold as water, and the cold wind blew.
Outside the manor, Jian Ai and the rest stood side by side. Standing opposite them were Irene and the rest, who had been released.
Feeling the night wind and the cool and sweet air, Irene and the rest realized that they were still alive.
Yu Wuyuan walked forward and waved his hand. A light green sword aura surged out of their bodies at the same time. After it exposed the sword aura to the air for two seconds, it dissipated.
This sword aura had always been sealed in their meridians, making them lose their superpowers.
Now that the seal was removed, they immediately felt their bodies lighten. Their blocked meridians gradually became smooth, and waves of power that had been suppressed for a long time surged crazily into their limbs.
This long-lost feeling surprised them. They had finally returned to their powerful selves!
“I had no choice but to lock you here during this period. After all, we were enemies before, so it’s reasonable for me to be guarded against you. Please understand.” Jian Ai walked forward and slowly said, “We destroyed your car when we fought before. We’re giving you the car behind us. You can leave now!”
Andrew stood opposite Jian Ai and couldn’t help but say, “You could have killed us, but you didn’t. We should thank you! As mercenaries, all we can do is accept and carry out missions, and assassinate targets. We have no choice. I hope you can understand us!”
Jian Ai smiled. “We understand. That’s why I became friends with Leader Hans. It’s because we fully understand each other’s standpoint!”
Andrew nodded and said to Jian Ai in Chinese, “Goodbye!”
Jian Ai: “Goodbye!”
On the other hand, Eugene walked up to Chi Yang and smiled. “Thank you for your hospitality. The food you made is very delicious!”
When Chi Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but smile. “I didn’t treat you well. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll cook for you!”
Irene took the initiative to come to Yu Wuyuan. Her silver-white hair was especially striking under the night sky. She looked up at Yu Wuyuan and said, “You’re the strongest person I’ve seen in so many years. Before I met you, I always thought I was the strongest.”
Yu Wuyuan smiled and said, “You’re indeed very strong!”
Irene suddenly smiled. “I hope I can ask you for guidance when I have the chance.”
“The roots are different, and the cultivation methods are different,” Yu Wuyuan replied elegantly. “There’s no need to ask for guidance. If I have the chance, I’m willing to share a thing or two with you!”
Irene nodded, her eyes gentle. “Alright!”
