Even the gentle Yan Xiang also became a bit arrogant at this time.

  "Am I this kind of person? Can people really be so irresponsible? You are representing Snow Crystal City, no matter what, your every word and action also represents Snow Crystal City. What you do is equivalent to Snow Crystal City doing it. I am the city lord, and everything that happens from now on, I will not shirk responsibility for. Just one sentence 'I didn't know the situation, it was his personal behavior', can this push away responsibility? The heavens are watching, the great way is not silent, people are acting, heaven is still watching. I, Yan Jing, may not have ability, but I dare to take responsibility. At first, I clearly knew that I couldn't use you, but because it was Xiao Yatou who published the message in the name of the city lord's mansion, my heart was unwilling, and I had to keep you for now. This time is also the same. This is my bottom line."

  After sitting for a long time, Zhang Ye couldn't help but ask, "By the way, you guys always say I've brought trouble to you. Why don't you just make it clear? If it can be settled, I'll go settle it myself, so as not to cause you trouble."

  Hearing him say this in such a sincere tone, Yanjing's worried expression eased slightly.

  "She let out a soft sigh and said, 'Don't think too much about this. I have arrangements in place. Last night, I had Uncle Ba make a special trip to Lan Yun Fortress to deal with the aftermath of this matter, hoping that nothing big will go wrong later.'"

  Zhang Ye also started to get a bit anxious for her, saying: "You might as well not worry about it, anyway it's my doing, whatever the situation push it onto me, that settles it, I'll take responsibility for everything."

  "I'm a person like that? Can people really be so irresponsible? You're representing Snow Crystal City, and no matter what, your every word and action represents Snow Crystal City. What you do is equivalent to Snow Crystal City doing it. I'm the city lord, and everything that happens from now on, I won't be able to shirk responsibility for. Can just one sentence 'I didn't know the situation, it was his personal behavior' push away responsibility? The heavens are watching, the great way doesn't stop, people do things, heaven is still watching. I, Yan Xin, may not have ability, but I dare to take responsibility. At first, I clearly knew I couldn't use you, but because it was Xiao Yatou who released the message in the name of the city lord's residence, my heart didn't want to, but I had to keep you for now. This time is also the same. This is my bottom line."

  This elegant and beautiful orchid has a captivating charm all its own.

  Zhang Ye stared blankly at her, unsure of how to respond. But vaguely, he knew that this expression and these words would likely be etched in his memory forever.

  For the first time, I had the thought of taking the initiative to do something for her and share her worries.

  Walking back home in the evening, Zhang Ye thought to himself.

  When he started having such thoughts, that innate juvenile innocence of his was even more hidden, and the astonishment in his eyes was even more intense.

  At the edge of the mountain platform, at this late hour, Yan Xing was still watching the snow.

  The little girl stood by her side and asked: "Miss, was this time's conversation with him pleasant? Did he bully you?"

  Yan Xing blinked her beautiful eyes, thought for a moment and said, "He didn't bully me. Today's conversation seems to have had a better effect than I imagined. Maybe we were wrong about him in the past. He's a very strange person. I think he never had any intention of bullying us from the start."

  "Hey, miss?" The little girl said with a tone of discontent. "I've been watching him, he's an arrogant madman, simple-minded and physically strong. His face is thick-skinned and decadent. Ah, I thought so earlier, we'll eventually fall into his hands."

  "Haha..." Yan Xiang covered her mouth and smiled, facing this little servant girl, she actually had a lot of daughter-like qualities.

  "Miss, you'd better be careful. Who knows if he's really got an ulterior motive? He might not have good intentions towards us," said the little girl.

  Yan Xiang Zheng Se said, "I'm not worried about this at all. Think about it, if someone really knew my temperament and had ulterior motives towards me, would they behave like this villain?"

  The little girl scratched her head.

  "No," said Yan Xiang. "From a normal perspective, someone like him is the opposite of trustworthy. He completely shows off a straightforward, impulsive and hot-headed foolish appearance. He generously exposes all his shortcomings in front of me, making us guard against him? For people with ulterior motives towards us, it should be the other way around, hiding all their shortcomings, pretending to be gentle and refined, showing off all their advantages to dispel my vigilance."

  "Isn't that Long Ao Tian?" The little girl blurted out quickly, but then hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

  Yan Xing didn't blame her, but instead was stunned for a moment, as if...

  She hadn't thought of it that way, but after Xiao Yatou reminded her, she reconsidered her own theory and also found it reasonable.

  Yan Xiang thought for a long time and didn't want to think about it anymore. She scolded in a low voice, "Watch your mouth! Don't speak nonsense from now on, fortunately no one heard you."

  "By the way, miss, I heard a rumor from below, don't know if it's true or not. It said that something big happened in Blue Snow City, Dragon Ao Tian's older brother, Dragon Xiao Tian was killed on Mount Da Xue. The rumor says he was killed by East Sea Fu Di's elder."

  Yan Xiang was shocked and lost color, if this news is true, then it would be the top news of Jie Lan border, because Blue Snow City is also one of the six major forces of Jie Lan, with intricate connections and unfathomable strength. Who knows how many things will arise from this.

  "No wonder Long Ao Tian suddenly looked strange the day before yesterday, saying he had to rush back to Blue Snow City for an urgent matter. It seems his brother really has encountered trouble." Yan Jing murmured.

  Xiao Yaotou whispered, "Alas, this Dragon's Ascension Festival is really troublesome. Long Aotian must be heartbroken this time."

  Yan Xiang suddenly said with a strange expression, "It's probably not sadness. I didn't sense any sad elements from him. Hopefully, I'm wronging him."

  The little girl was about to say something, but she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth. She almost said "It seems that Long Ao Tian is waiting for his powerful brother to die so that he can take the family position in the future."

  On the contrary, Yan Xiang didn't have as many thoughts as Xiao Yatou. She turned around and said, "It's strange, although in the early years, Donghai Fudi wanted to expand its power to Jilan, it was strongly resisted by several major forces in Jilan, and finally came to nothing, which can be considered a friction. But after so many years of peace, why would the elder of Donghai suddenly kill Long Xuetian?"

  Xiao Yatou said, "I don't know about this. I heard rumors that the news came from someone at Hui Chun Men. It's said that Huachengzi was on his way to Lan Xue City for something and sensed a fluctuation in spiritual energy at Dashan Mountain. Afterwards, Huachengzi saw three golden dragons flying around, transformed from true energy, as well as a ghostly face transformed from the aura."

  Yan Xiangdong said: "That's right, that is the legendary Donghai Longwang Fist Technique and the ultimate skill of Long Xiao Tian - Bai Du Tian Luo."

  "So, Huachengzi didn't actually see anyone fighting, he just described the scene of the two divine abilities clashing. Then, one after another, news came out that Donghai's elder was killed, and Long Xiao Tian was also killed. This caused a huge mess, with Donghai thinking it was Blue Snow City causing trouble and killing their elder, while Blue Snow City thought it was Donghai making a comeback and killing their eldest son. I heard that now Blue Snow City is gathering the 'Jianlan Alliance' to discuss attacking Donghai."

  "Are we really going to war with Kunlun again?" Yan Qing sighed softly.

  Another snowy morning has arrived.

  As before, Zhang Ye was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Zhang Hui's "morning report".

  "Dad, work hard so that we can have a good future." Zhang Hui said this as she saw her father off at the door.

  Zhang Ye suddenly lost his smile and turned around to leave.

  Zhang Hui stood in the heavy snow, watching his figure disappear into the distance...
