Chapter 86 - 86: 86 – Senior, would you like to go out?
He was indeed a little curious about the matter of Ao Cangtian.
If Ao Cangtian did betray the Dragon Valley years ago, it wouldn’t be hard to understand why they locked him up and tortured him for a century. After all, if Jiang Xiaobai was put in the same position, he would do the same.
But Jiang Xiaobai always felt that there was something fishy about Ao Cangtian.
So, he walked to a spot not far away, making sure that he wouldn’t be killed if Ao Cangtian suddenly lashed out before he sat down.
Ao Cangtian examined him from head to toe and then burst into laughter.
“You’re just in the Qi refining phase, and it seems like you’ve just started to absorb the Qi into your body. You’re not from Dragon Valley either, so how did you end up in here?”
“Don’t tell me it’s because of that good-for-nothing Ao Cheng. That guy is hopeless.”
Ao Cheng’s eyes widened at this: “Wow, old guy, just because you’re powerful doesn’t mean you can insult me like that!”
“Tch, calling yourself a young master? If you had half the spirit your father had back in his day, you wouldn’t be locked up here!”
“You!”
For a moment, Ao Cheng didn’t know what to say.
“Kid, I’m asking you a question. Answer me.” Ao Cangtian directed his attention back to Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai was straight to the point and revealed his identity.
Oao Cangtian then fell silent.
“Dragon Valley, has it really become this weak? Even the Ancient Clan dares to force a marriage?” Ao Cangtian suddenly let out a wretched laugh.
“You have the nerve to talk! If it wasn’t for you back then, how could Dragon Valley have ended up like this?”
Ao Cheng sneered.
But no sooner had the words left his mouth than a bloody storm arose within the cell.
The violent spiritual power enveloped the two of them.
Ao Cangtian’s eyes were filled with ferocity, blood seemed to drip from his crimson irises.
“Back then, back then!”
“Do you even know what happened back then? You know nothing; you have no right to scold me!”
Ao Cangtian roared incessantly, his voice chilling to the bone.
Ao Cheng lay on the ground, pale-faced, his head buzzing.
But he still didn’t admit defeat.
“You bullshit, if it wasn’t for you betraying the clan leader’s whereabouts, how could Dragon Valley have ended up like this, and how could my great grandpa still be severely injured?”
Ao Cheng roared, “You’ve ruined Dragon Valley! Why do you still have the audacity to act so high and mighty?”
“Because of you, Dragon Valley has ended up in this state, and any clan power dares to bully us.”
“Otherwise, why would my sister go to such lengths? Do you know what she’s been through these years?”
His continuous roars left Ao Cangtian rooted to the spot.
The pressure within the cell disappeared, leaving only Ao Cangtian sitting on his knees, his eyes vacant and blank.
“Yan’er, hasn’t she been doing well these years?” Ao Cangtian murmured after a long pause.
Ao Cheng only snorted coldly without responding.
To Jiang Xiaobai who had been watching from the sidelines, this was startling. It seemed that Ao Yan had already been there before Ao Cangtian was locked up.
And this guy seemed to care about Ao Yan?
What the hell?!
However, Ao Cangtian remained silent afterwards, sitting in a corner, his face dull and slightly dazed.
No one spoke to him since he refused to talk.
After restoring himself, Ao Cheng started to curse at Ao Zhantian.
After cursing for a long time without any reaction from the outside, it was Ao Cheng himself who ended up exhausted, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai was considering his next moves.
Now that he had been captured by Ao Zhantian, he wasn’t getting out.
Although he could test the solidity of the prison with his Sword Rainbow, what would be the point even if he could break it?
There were a bunch of strong people waiting outside.
His current state inside Dragon Valley was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. In fact, at any moment he could be abandoned.
So to solve his current troubles, he had to outsmart, not act recklessly.
“Jiang Xiaobai, once my sister comes out of her seclusion, we’ll definitely be fine,” Ao Cheng said, trying to lighten the heavy mood upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s serious expression.
But Jiang Xiaobai just shook his head. “You’re being too optimistic. If Ao Zhantian dares to make a move at this time, it’s clear he never intended to let me leave alive.”
“As for you, you’re a disciple of Dragon Valley. At most, he’ll give you a beating, but he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you.” Ao Cheng fell silent at this.
He knew that Jiang Xiaobai was right.
Despite his good relationship with Jiang Xiaobai, the rest of Dragon Valley was not keen on keeping him alive.
Because he was the one who brought shame upon them.
Though the ringleader was Ao Yan, she was untouchable, so naturally, they would want Jiang Xiaobai to take the fall.
Time passed slowly.
Indeed, Jiang Xiaobai had many tricks up his sleeve to escape, but those would undoubtedly reveal his real power, raising suspicion.
Staying put was a better choice.
“Hm? I don’t need to escape; they can let me out!”
An idea struck Jiang Xiaobai, and he suddenly started laughing.
He had found a way.
“How foolish of me, being trapped by my own thoughts. The current situation doesn’t depend on me, but on Ao Yan!”
“I was so focused on finding a way to escape, but there’s actually no need!”
Once he figured it out, an unsettling grin spread across Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
Ao Cheng, who had been observing him all this while, was bewildered.
“Dude, what’s up with that expression?”
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes: “I just figured out a way to get out.”
“Really?”
Ao Cheng’s eyes lit up, grabbing Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulders and shaking him excitedly: “Tell me, tell me, what did you figure out?”
“You don’t need to know, because only I can get out.”
“Damn it!”
Ao Cheng sprang to his feet, pointing accusingly at Jiang Xiaobai: “You’re being dishonest! What’s the point if only you can get out? If I don’t follow you, you’ll just have to come back in!”
“Exactly, I’m going to come back in!”
“Wait, are you out of your mind?”
Ao Cheng was left stunned by Jiang Xiaobai’s plans, which were beyond his comprehension.
Jiang Xiaobai ignored him, turned around, and looked at Ao Cangtian who was sitting in the corner.
“Old-timer, do you want to get out of here?”
There was a clinking sound.
The chains rattling, Ao Cangtian lifted his head to look at Jiang Xiaobai, his gaze similar to looking at an idiot.
“Is your brain malfunctioning, or are my ears playing tricks on me?”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders: “I am confident I can get you out. But the odds are slim, and it would require your cooperation.”
“Stop talking nonsense! Even if he dies in this cell, there’s no way he’ll be let out!”
Ao Cheng stood there with his hands on his hips, shouting.
Yet, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth curled up with a smile.
“There’s no need to let him out.” “Senior can leave on his own!”
