Jiang Wuming’s words exploded like rolling thunder over Lizhuang, lingering long in the air.
At this moment, the youth’s expression was no longer calm; a hint of anger surfaced between his brows, and his tone carried a trace of resentment! Fengyun Novel Network
That’s right…
It was resentment!
His father sacrificed his life to defend this nation and protect this world, and after his birth, he wasn't even worthy of a name!
And when his origins were exposed, the entire world turned against him, with one hostile force after another trying to put him to death!
What kind of logic was this?!
“Li Qingyuan, Wuming did not defeat Gu Tianlong by relying on glory.”
As if sensing the resentment in the youth’s tone, Jian Jian, the Director of the Military Department’s Enforcement Division, stared coldly at Li Qingyuan and said in a deep voice:
“Furthermore, I want to remind you that if we talk about glory, in the past twenty years, no one in this world has had more brilliant glory than Jiang Zhan, yet Wuming has never used Jiang Zhan’s glory for anything!”
Whoosh!
Li Qingyuan’s face changed drastically.
He hadn’t expected Jian Jian to ‘attack’ him for Jiang Wuming.
Not just Li Qingyuan, but everyone present, except for a select few, was stunned by Jian Jian’s actions.
The next moment.
Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Jian Jian shifted his gaze from Li Qingyuan to Jiang Wuming.
“Wuming, my name is Jian Jian. I am the head of the Military Department’s Enforcement Division, and also a disciple of Marshal Qi Wufu of the Military Department.
Today, I represent my master and the Military Department!”
Jian Jian stared at the youth in front of him, who appeared proud on the surface but was deeply scarred within, and said softly, “The world owes you a chance to live. The Dragon Country Military Department is willing to escort your life’s journey!”
“Uh…”
Hearing Jian Jian’s words again, everyone present was stunned!
If Jian Jian’s earlier defense of Jiang Wuming against Li Qingyuan had merely surprised people, then Jian Jian’s promise to Jiang Wuming on behalf of the Military Department at this moment completely shocked them!
The Dragon Country Military Department, this was the most powerful department in Dragon Country today!
The Dragon Country Military Department, this was the strongest martial arts force among all countries globally!
None other!
Even the God of War Hall, an organization composed of martial artists from around the world, had to treat the Dragon Country Military Department with three parts respect and seven parts fear!
Such a powerful force was willing to escort Jiang Wuming on his life’s journey!
What did this mean?
Everyone could figure it out with their toes!
“Master Jian, thank you and the Military Department.”
Immediately, the silence of the scene was broken again. Jiang Wuming clasped his hands, bowed, and thanked Jian Jian and the Military Department he represented.
At this moment, he was thanking Jian Jian for his words, and also for everything that Jian Jian and the Military Department had done for him in the past, especially in the Capital and South Port!
In the Capital, if it weren't for Qi Wufu’s strong statement in the video, even with Xia Xueqin’s protection, Jiang Wuming would have been taken away by the Ninshu Martial Society.
In South Port, although Jian Jian had not played a role, if it weren’t for his senior brother Shen Zui’s timely appearance, Jian Jian would have certainly appeared to deal with that three-star God of War!
“Director Jian is right. When it comes to glory, in the past twenty years, both in Dragon Country and globally, no one can claim to be second to my son-in-law Jiang Zhan!
In that divine battle at the Ancient City of Loulan, if Jiang Zhan hadn’t fought to the death, where would the current peace and prosperity be? The world doesn’t know what it would have become!”
After Jiang Wuming thanked Jian Jian, Ye Zheng suddenly spoke.
Huh?
Hearing Ye Zheng’s words, everyone, including Jiang Wuming, was startled, and then they all turned their gaze to Ye Zheng.
According to outside rumors, after Ye Jinmei was assassinated, Jiang Zhan returned to Yanjing overnight from the Ancient City of Loulan, and with a single person and a single saber, he bloodbathed the Zhao family. The Ye family did nothing.
Furthermore, when Jiang Zhan avenged Ye Jinmei, it caused a huge upheaval in Dragon Country, and the Ye family did not come forward to do or say anything.
Even when Jiang Wuming’s identity was exposed, the Ye family not only failed to accept Jiang Wuming but also spread rumors that Jiang Wuming would never set foot in the Ye family compound!
Under such circumstances, at such a grand occasion today, Ye Zheng suddenly praised Jiang Zhan’s achievements in front of everyone. How could this not surprise everyone?
Ye Zheng noticed the astonishment in their gazes and knew what they were astonished about, but he didn’t care. Instead, he turned his gaze to Jiang Wuming.
“Wuming, because of the scoundrelly behavior of Wentao’s family of three, you have developed dissatisfaction towards the Ye family, and even spread some unpleasant rumors. The reason I came to Lizhuang this time, besides congratulating Old Doctor Gu, is to see you, have a good talk with you, and clear up the doubts in your heart, while also discussing your marriage with Lianyi with Old Doctor Gu.”
Ye Zheng spoke again, without any of the former dignity of his high position, like a kind grandfather talking to his grandson.
“Uh…”
With Ye Zheng’s words, everyone present was stunned again.
Because, including Jiang Wuming, everyone could understand the meaning of Ye Zheng’s words: Ye Zheng and the Ye family had never rejected Jiang Wuming!
The previous rumors were all caused by Ye Wentao, Wang Hong, and Ye Rui’s family of three, and did not represent the intentions of Ye Zheng and the Ye family!
Moreover, Ye Zheng was going to negotiate with the Li family for Jiang Wuming, regarding Jiang Wuming’s engagement with Li Lianyi!
This was completely opposite to all the rumors, so how could it not shock everyone?
Amidst the shock, many people looked at Ye Zheng with suspicion.
Clearly, those who knew Ye Zheng were doubting the credibility of Ye Zheng’s words.
As the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
If Ye Zheng hadn’t allowed it, would such rumors have spread outside?
Step back and think, even if Ye Wentao’s family caused the disturbance, would they dare to do so without Ye Zheng’s permission?
“Ye Zheng changed his attitude towards Jiang Wuming because Jiang Wuming displayed extremely powerful martial arts strength and talent!”
Soon, those who knew Ye Zheng came to this conclusion in their hearts.
After all, Jiang Wuming, at only twenty years old, possessed such terrifying martial arts prowess, which was unprecedented!
Moreover, Jian Jian’s statement on behalf of the Military Department to escort Jiang Wuming was equivalent to becoming Jiang Wuming’s staunch supporter!
As expected.
At the same time, outside the main villa, Ye Feng felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.
Even though he had guessed before that his grandfather Ye Zheng’s trip south this time to the Li family was not to congratulate Old Doctor Li, nor for himself, but for Jiang Wuming, when Ye Zheng personally said all this, he still felt a sense of discomfort.
He felt that something that originally belonged to him and was important had been snatched away by Jiang Wuming!
“Old Li, Tianlong is seriously injured. If this delay continues, his life or death is uncertain. I implore the Li family to arrange for someone to treat Tianlong!”
Immediately, without waiting for Jiang Wuming to respond to Ye Zheng, Gu Lü, who had been silent, suddenly turned to Li Guyi and spoke with a grim expression, staring intently at Li Guyi.
His intention was not what he said.
He seemed to be asking the Li family to treat Gu Tianlong, but in reality, he was probing the Li family’s attitude.
Jiang Wuming had already made it clear that the matter was not over. If Li Guyi agreed to treat Gu Tianlong, it would mean that Li Guyi and the Li family had chosen to stand with Gu Tianlong, and vice versa, they would choose Jiang Wuming!
Swish swish swish…
In an instant, in the garden, everyone except Jiang Wuming turned their gaze to Li Guyi.
They had all heard Gu Lü’s underlying meaning and wanted to know Li Guyi and the Li family’s choice!
“Minister Gu, Wuming has already made it very clear. The matter between him and Tianlong is not over, and the Li family and I cannot interfere in this matter.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Li Guyi slowly spoke, stating the choice he and the Li family had already made.
Jiang Wuming!
