Chapter 320: A Misunderstanding

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The captured beast was Ah Jiang.

He kept kowtowing and crying. “Young Master, please spare me!”

Jing Liang asked, “Where are the other two?”

The man with arched eyes was a little embarrassed. “They got away. We’ve already spread the news. If they dare to show their faces in the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce’s territory again, they’ll be caught immediately.”

“What if they run to the other three factions?”

Arched Eyes couldn’t answer, and his expression became even more awkward.

Jing Liang glanced at Ah Jiang and said coldly, “Take him away and ask him who his accomplices are.”

“Alright!”

Arched Eyes and his accomplice grabbed Ah Jiang by the hair and roughly dragged him out.

Ah Jiang knew that if he was taken away this time, he would definitely not be able to return. That man with arched eyes was a narrow-minded and vicious person. He would definitely take the opportunity to kill him! Ignoring the danger of his scalp being pulled off, he struggled to open his hand and crawled all the way to Jing Liang.

“I’ll tell you who the two beasts who escaped are. Please spare my life!”

Jing Liang asked, “Who are they?”

“One’s a male beast and the other is a female. I don’t know who the male is. He doesn’t like to talk. He never said his name from beginning to end.”

The man with slanted eyes did not expect Ah Jiang to be able to break free. He was even more furious. He grabbed Ah Jiang’s hair again and smiled sinisterly. “You won’t even tell us his name. Looks like I have to teach you a lesson before you tell the truth!”

Ah Jiang shouted in horror, “I really don’t know the male beast’s name, but I know the female’s name. Her name is Lin Huanhuan!”

Hearing the last three words, Jing Liang paused.

The man with arched eyes continued to pull on Ah Jiang’s hair. This time, he used so much strength that Ah Jiang couldn’t break free anymore. He looked desperate.

“Wait,” Jing Liang suddenly said. “Let him go.”

The man with slanted eyes was stunned. He did not understand why his young master suddenly wanted him to let go of Ah Jiang, but he still obediently let go.

Ah Jiang was free. He lay on the ground, trembling.

Jing Liang looked down at him. “Say it again. What’s the female’s name?”

“Lin Huanhuan. She said that’s her name.”

Jing Liang thought for a moment. “If you see her again, can you recognize her face?”

Ah Jiang replied in a trembling voice, “She has a veil on her face. I’ve never seen her full face, but she has beautiful eyes and a beautiful voice. If I see her again, I should be able to recognize her.”

After hearing his description, Jing Liang was even more certain that the Lin Huanhuan he was talking about was the little female who was in the lounge now.

It seemed that the little female was not simple.

Jing Liang called an attendant over and instructed, “Wash him clean.”

“Alright.”

Ah Jiang cried and asked, “Young Master, you’re not going to kill me anymore?”

Jing Liang smiled, and the mole under his eye became even more seductive. “That depends on your performance.”

The man took Ah Jiang away.

The man with arched eyebrows couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, that guy is very cunning. He doesn’t tell the truth. Don’t be fooled by him!”

Jing Liang said, “I can tell if it’s true or not.”

The man with slanted eyes wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by his companion beside him. He gave him a look, indicating that he should not go against the young master.

Jing Liang said, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

The man with arched eyes was reluctantly dragged away by his companions.

Huanhuan tidied up the flowers in the pot.

The lotus drooped down and rubbed against Huanhuan’s cheek. “Mom~”

Huanhuan knew that the little plant was jealous again. She touched it. “Don’t worry. No matter how many flowers others give me, you’re the only one I like.”

The lotus shook happily, and the tip of the petals turned even redder.

Huanhuan heard footsteps approaching. She lowered her hand, and the lotus consciously shrank back and stayed quietly by her ear.

Jing Liang walked into the house and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Huanhuan smiled. “Not at all. If you’re busy, you don’t have to come and accompany me. I’m fine alone.”

“I promised Auntie Xue Hui that I would accompany you.” Jing Liang paused and said casually, “Just now, a shop assistant caught a beast and said that the beast was causing trouble in the territory of the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce.”

Huanhuan didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned this. She replied, “Oh.”

“That beast said he knows you.”

Huanhuan was stunned. “Huh?”

Jing Liang turned around and said to the door, “Come in.”

Huanhuan followed his gaze and saw Ah Jiang walk in. Their eyes met, and they looked surprised.

Ah Jiang quickly reacted and said, “Young Master, the female I’m talking about is her!”

Jing Liang nodded. “I understand. You can leave now.”

“But she…”

Jing Liang interrupted him. “I told you to go. Don’t you understand?”

The look in his eyes frightened Ah Jiang. He quickly lowered his head and retreated.

When the door was closed again, Jing Liang looked at Huanhuan and smiled. “You should know that beast, right?”

Huanhuan was surprised that he had captured Ah Jiang, but it was not a big deal. She quickly calmed down and said, “Yes, I know his name is Ah Jiang. He used to be in a group of travelers everywhere. I met him in the desert.”

Jing Liang assumed the posture of a listener. “And?”

“My friend and I got lost and asked for directions. They enthusiastically offered to help, but then they tried to harm us while we were asleep. My friend and I killed them to protect ourselves.”

Jing Liang nodded. “You did the right thing.”

“In order to not get lost again, we specially left Ah Jiang alive and asked him to bring us to the City of 10,000 Beasts. He wanted to bring us to the territory of the 10,000 Beast Alliance, but I refused. I wanted to come to the territory of the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Later, we got into a conflict with a few beasts here. My friend and I got separated while escaping. I accidentally ran here and met Xue Hui.”

She was telling the truth. There seemed to be no flaw.

After hearing this, Jing Liang asked, “What’s the name of your friend?”

Huanhuan hesitated before saying, “Ah Xing.”

“Ah Xing? Is that his real name?”

Huanhuan said slowly, “He told me his name is Ah Xing. As for whether it’s his real name, I don’t know.”

“It seems you’re not close to him.”

“Indeed. I met him halfway. I don’t know anything about him except that his name is Ah Xing.”

Jing Liang looked thoughtful. “He sounds like a very mysterious person.”

Huanhuan nodded. “He’s indeed mysterious.”

Jing Liang smiled. “It’s fine now that we’ve talked about it. It’s all a misunderstanding.”
