She was not afraid of young people like them competing, but Marquess Ning was a sly old fox. If he came out to confront them, they had to think of a countermeasure first.

“What’s his cultivation level?” she asked.

“Don’t think about it. We can’t win.”

Zhan Beiye knew what An Jiuyue wanted to ask and shook his head.

There was really no need to even think about it; they could not compare to someone like Marquess Ning. Although Marquess Ning was no match for Zhan Beiye in terms of leadership, he naturally surpassed him in terms of individual strength.

Even if the three of them teamed up, they would still be no match for Marquess Ning.

Besides, An Jiuyue was pregnant. They would not dare let her fight Marquess Ning.

“Do you know why a fool like Zhan Beixiao can be so arrogant in Zhanling Empire and even have the Emperor doting on him? It’s because he has a maternal grandfather like Marquess Ning.

“Zhanling Emperor trusts Marquess Ning very much. He was the one who suppressed my maternal family. His cultivation level is very high, and he also has many dirty tricks up his sleeve.”

He added, “And he’s good with poison.”

Although Marquess Ning was not a medicine refiner, many medicine refiners around him were good at refining poisonous pills.

Hence, the Zhanling Emperor did not dare do anything to Marquess Ning. After all, one might not live to see the light of day if one provoked him.

“He’s good with poison?” An Jiuyue was interested.

She caressed her stomach. Unfortunately, she was pregnant and could not use poison to deal with Marquess Ning for the time being.

“If he really dares to try anything… Hehe.”

The poisonous pills and powder she had refined earlier were not for nothing. She could use them on that old fox if needed.

“By the way, Zhan Beiye, what are your plans for your maternal family?” “I’ve already sent someone to pick them up. They should be there soon.” Of course, Zhan Beiye would not allow any harm to come to his family. After ordering his men to attack Zhan Beixiao, he sent someone to bring his maternal family to safety.

It was a long journey and would take some time, but they were almost there.

“That’s good.”

Qian Jiyun and she were relieved to hear that.

They must not be turned into pawns used by the Zhanling Emperor and Marquess Ning to control Zhan Beiye.

On the road leading to Yao City, a few soldiers stumbled forward.

They supported someone who was standing in the middle. He was barely recognizable as human, filthy as could be, with a particularly ghastly complexion.

“Stop, stop.” Zhan Beixiao could not stand the grueling journey anymore and called for a halt in a hoarse voice.

Why did he have to suffer like this? He didn’t do anything. Why did all the lowly soldiers betray him?

He hated Zhan Beiye! He was sure he played a trick on him! He had framed him!

“I’m hungry. Go find me something to eat.”

He even stopped insisting on eating delicious food. He was willing to eat anything as long as it could fill his stomach.

However, the soldiers could not even fulfill such a simple request. They were here to fight, so they did not have much money with them..
