Chapter 35: A Token

  "Boom..."

  Miss Guan never expected Wu Ya to make a move, nor did she expect his power to be so strong. Unprepared, she could only hastily defend herself, and the green figure was knocked flying by the half-moon shape. The trees were cut off neatly and fell down with a crash.

  "Xiao Cui, are you okay?"

  Wu Yue didn't care about that, and used the method Feng Ying had just taught him to treat Xiao Cui. After a while, Xiao Cui slowly regained her breath. This guy was really a cockroach that wouldn't die! Wu Yue's face revealed a relaxed smile.

  "Get out, you lowly thing! Die! Die! Die!" Miss Guan rushed out with her hair disheveled, looking like a terrifying ghost.

  "Clang......"

  Someone else blocked him, this time not Dugu Jiu Xian, but the young and strong man from the Lv family. Dugu Jiu Xian was also in mid-air, but a step slower. Just then, he heard the young man from the Lv family say: "Miss Guan, no need to get angry, let's talk slowly."

  "You dare to lay hands on me, get out of here!"

  He raised an eyebrow, and the young man from the Lü family stood still with his spear. Although the Lü family was much weaker than the Guan family, they were also one of the eighteen families of martial artists, and no one dared to underestimate any of them. Moreover, he didn't think this small matter would lead to a struggle between families.

  "Guān little sister, your temper should be changed too. You don't even spare your own pets, it's too extreme."

  Dugu Jiu Xian also flew down to Wu Ya's face, still smiling at him. Miss Guan dared to despise the Lü family, but did not dare to despise the Dugu family, which was equivalent in strength and even stronger than the Guan family. Her eyes shot out cold glints as she said coldly: "Dugu Jiu Xian, who is this soldier exactly? Why do you keep protecting him time and again? Is he your little lover or something?"

  "What does it have to do with you, I just want to protect him." Dugu Jiu Xian smiled and said. The Dugu family and the Guan family were often at odds, but no one suspected that Dugu Jiu Xian would take a liking to this little soldier. However, what she said next made people's minds wander, as she turned her head to look at Wu Yue and said: "You owe me a favor."

  "Alright!" Wu Ya responded without hesitation: "What do you want me to do?"

  "Hmm, I haven't thought about it yet, but can you apologize to me first for scolding me earlier?"

  "Alright, but once we apologize, we'll be even." Wu Ya responded with a piercing gaze.

  He was taken aback for a moment, this kid really is a rascal. Dugu Jiu Xian's expression turned cold and he shook his head: "Forget it, your apology isn't sincere at all, don't bother. And you're also... she's from the Guan family, how dare you take action!"

  "There's nothing to be afraid of. Although I don't know what chivalry is, I do know that I can't just watch my mount and companions die." Wu Ya's words were very sincere, absolutely from the heart. On the other side, Fei Tian Qi Wei's mind was moved, if this guy hadn't just killed someone, they really had the urge to recruit him into the Flying Heaven Riders. As for Luo Teng, his face was burning with anger.

  On the ground, in the weak and feeble little Cui's eyes, a crystal clear light flickered that no one could perceive.

  "Well said!"

  Just as the scene was becoming increasingly bizarre and more and more people were gathering, many of whom were still confused, a loud shout came from the forest, and a girl wearing red soft armor and tied in a ponytail walked out. Many people looked at each other, not knowing what kind of young talent had arrived this time. Today, many young masters and ladies from various families have come, although they may not be heirs in their families, but standing there represents their status, some small families have to be careful.

  Wu Ya was slightly stunned, and the heart he had raised finally put down. He recognized this person as the daughter of General Fang, whom he had met a few days ago when he returned to Beidou City from Yao Guang City and reported to the military defense department.

  "Yanfeng!" Li Dage called out in a low voice as he looked at the approaching person.

  "Hah, Li Dage, I'm still one step slower than you, unfortunately, you're not the first to find Jin Qi Tian's relic. This time, it's still a victory for our Military Department." Yan Feng suddenly looked at Wu Yue and smiled.

  "Are you talking about him? Hmph, I now seriously suspect that he is a spy for the Magic Empire. Just now, he killed several of my North Dipper Riders and even nearly killed Luo Team Leader. If I don't take him down, I'll be letting down our fallen brothers, the people of North Dipper City, and all of you who trust me." Li Big Brother said coldly, though somewhat admiring Wu Yue's performance, but still prioritizing the bigger picture.

  "Traitor? How could someone from our military defense department be a traitor? Hey, warrior, are you saying that I'm the traitor?"

  "Dugu Jiu Xian, are you saying I'm a spy?"

  Wu Ya's mood had relaxed, Yan Shuang's arrival had already proven that he was no longer in danger. Now, even if the Golden Robe Man of Dugu Family wanted to kill him, it would be impossible. Don't forget, this is Beidou Province, and he also represents the Ministry of Defense.

  However, his call surprised everyone present again. The golden-robed man of the Dugu family stared at him with a frown.

  Du Gujiu Xian somewhat admired the guy's audacity, daring to shout at this time. He recalled his boasts at the Wu family and his previous attitude towards Miss Guan, seemingly a true hothead. Yet, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being deceived. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You owe me another favor."

  "That's all I need to hear from you."

  Wu Ya smiled and said, "Du Gu's attitude can prove everything. With such a good object of use, not using it would be foolish, wouldn't it?"

  Dugu Jiuxian was once again frustrated, wondering if this kid was a naive simpleton or a deeply cunning guy, how he felt more and more like he was being led by the nose. The silver-robed man of the Dugu family stared at him with a smile on his face, also pondering the kid's intentions.

  Wu Ya had no purpose in suppressing the root, at least not one that would attract Du Gu's attention. Now his only goal was to get rid of his current form with ease, and if possible, take the treasure chest with him.

  "Li, it seems there's been some misunderstanding in between, let's settle what's at hand first and discuss again later."

  "Misunderstanding, even if you kill someone, it can be said that it's a misunderstanding. Even if he is not a spy, he is still a murderer."

  "Whether I am a murderer or not, I will put on handcuffs and accept the trial of the Ministry of National Defense at that time. Now, please let General Yan take over the relics here, investigate the spies of the Magic Empire, and I have many clues to provide." Wu Ya said decisively.

  "The ruins here were first discovered by the Beidou Riders' Escort Team, so it should be handed over to us. You are a suspect..."

  "The token of the Ministry of War is here, seeing this token is like seeing the Minister of War himself. I was ordered to investigate and track down the spies of the Magic Empire from the very beginning. However, the people of the Northern Dipper Knight Guard have repeatedly obstructed my actions. Now, I suspect that the entire Northern Dipper Knight Guard has been bought off by the Magic Empire. General Yan, I now order you to immediately take over this ruin with your men and apprehend the people of the Northern Dipper Knight Guard for investigation."

  Everyone in the room was stunned again, including Yan Feng. All eyes were fixed on the token in his hand. It was indeed a token from the Ministry of Defense, but whether it was issued under the orders of the Minister of Defense... At that time, the Minister of Defense had also been poisoned, who would have given such an order? But now, no one would dare to expose him. Yan Feng quickly came to his senses, narrowed his eyes, and for the first time, carefully observed this little soldier who had made his father laugh so heartily. He was truly unexpected. Seeing this token was like seeing the Minister of Defense himself. It was incredible that he had managed to come up with such an excuse. Wasn't it just an ordinary token?
