Chapter 1395: No Need for Protection

She felt that it was a good idea since she could guarantee Zhan Beiye’s safety.

“I can have it?” Zhan Beiye was interested.

Of course, he wanted it! He had suddenly owned 20 cities. Both the Zhanling Emperor and the Yueming Emperor were after him!

He was genuinely afraid that he might not be able to wake up one day.

“Of course!” An Jiuyue nodded.

He was Qian Jiyun’s brother. Why couldn’t he have it? Qian Jiyun and she would only be at ease if the people around them were well, right?

“That’ll be yours.” She pointed at the person standing beside Zhan Beiye.

“Ah? This?” Zhan Beiye looked at the paper effigy in confusion. “No, there’s no need. This…

An Jiuyue blinked and asked, “You dislike it?”

This paper effigy was a martial artist with excellent martial arts skills and a high cultivation level. There was no reason for him to dislike it, right?

“No, I don’t. How could I?” Zhan Beiye shook his head quickly.

The paper effigy was so skilled in combat that he could even knock Marquess Ning down. Would he dare to dislike it?

“He has to protect Jiyun, right? I actually don’t really—”

“Jiyun doesn’t need protection anymore,” An Jiuyue interrupted.

Marquess Ning was already half-dead from the kick and could not hurt Qian Jiyun. Qian Jiyun could fight him to a draw even without all his strength.

However, she knew that it was not because Marquess Ning was injured or because Qian Jiyun was capable. It was because he dared not lay a hand on Qian Jiyun because he knew he would not be able to leave if he did.

Hence, he could only be Qian Jiyun’s sparring partner.

The first rays of sunlight emerged at dawn.

Marquess Ning dragged his disheveled body back to his courtyard.

“Grandfather, how was it? Have you gotten rid of those people?”

Zhan Beixiao knew that Marquess Ning had gone to cause trouble for Zhan Beiye. When he saw him return, he hurried forward.

However, he was dumbfounded when he saw Marquess Ning’s sorry state. “Grandfather, what… What happened to you? Who injured you?”

He could not imagine how Zhan Beiye and his people could hurt Marquess Ning. Even his father had to be wary of him.

Was Zhan Beiye that powerful now?

Marquess Ning took a deep breath and clutched his chest. Shoving Zhan Beixiao away, he returned to his room and poured himself a cup of tea.

That was a demon couple! How could they be so troublesome?

He had wanted to settle scores with them but ended up walking right into their trap and was tormented by them.

He had sparred with Qian Jiyun the entire night, and that man’s cultivation level increased in just one night.

In his opinion, Qian Jiyun was a monster.

He slammed the empty teacup on the table and asked himself in a deep voice,

“How did Zhan Beiye get such help?!”

Zhan Beiye’s forces had all been taken over by him, leaving only the limited power within Prince Zhan Residence. How could he have achieved such success?

“Huff!

He knew it was all because of Ming Fucheng.

That idiot wanted to force Zhan Beiye to his death, but by a stroke of luck, he caused Zhan Beiye to rise from the ashes..
