Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 233 A Few Words to Resolve the Crisis
Not long after, Ji Haoyue arrived. In fact, he had heard the news of Wang Teng and Ye Fan's appearance in the city, so he had set off early to find his good brother based on his subordinates' reports.

However, he had only been gone a short time when he received a report from Shifang that Wang Teng was waiting for him inside Shifang.

Ji Haoyue immediately took Ji Ziyue with her to the Ji family's stone workshop.

Halfway there, the renowned Ji family divine body finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew Wang Teng's true strength and his importance to the Wang family. When Wang Teng was on good terms with the Ji family, he was captured by the Peacock King. Even if no one said it, everyone could guess that Wang Teng was captured by the Peacock King because he was affected by the Ji family.

Therefore, the Ji family was the most anxious after Wang Teng was arrested.

They were eager to find the Peacock King and rescue Wang Teng, and even mobilized an old ancestor who had been out of the public eye for a long time.

However, the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region were so well hidden that the Ji family could not find them easily; otherwise, they would not have been able to roam freely for so long.

Therefore, the Ji family had no choice but to issue a bounty, offering a reward to anyone who reported news of Wang Teng.

However, even after so much time has passed, there is still no news about Wang Teng. After all, it was the Peacock King who captured Wang Teng. If Wang Teng had not escaped, then naturally there would be no news about him from the outside world.

But now Wang Teng has finally appeared, and he even came with Ye Fan to the Ji family stone archway. You can imagine how happy Ji Haoyue is.

This not only means that his good brother has returned safely, but also that the Ji family can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Ji Haoyue arrived at the Ji family stone archway with her younger sister Ji Ziyue, an elder of the Ji family was earnestly entertaining Wang Teng.

As expected, Ye Fan was accompanying Wang Teng.

And there was also that familiar big black dog beside Fan.

The big black dog is quite famous now, after all, he once appeared with Ye Fan, and he also made a move against the ancient family and clamored to take people as pets, so he has a great reputation in the Northern Region.

At least a lot of people want to kill this big black dog.

Beside the big black dog were two young men who looked a bit silly and stood somewhat uneasy behind Ye Fan.

These two people didn't seem very important, so Ji Haoyue didn't pay them much attention.

What he cared about was the little girl holding Wang Teng's hand.

That little girl has a pair of dragon horns; she's clearly not human.

Ji Haoyue connected the relationship between the Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King. After Wang Teng was captured by the Peacock King, the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King joined forces to deal with the Ji family patriarch and the Yao Guang Holy Lord.

So Wang Teng must have been with the Azure Dragon King during this time, right?
Thinking back to the little girl with dragon horns in Wang Teng's hands, Ji Haoyue suddenly had a bold guess.

"Could it be that Brother Wang was able to regain his freedom because..." Ji Haoyue looked at the dragon horns on the little girl's head, his heart filled with shock!

If Wang Teng was indeed released because of this incident, then the matter is probably not completely resolved. Will the Beiyuan Wang family be able to accept this...?

For a moment, Ji Haoyue's joy faded, replaced by worry.

Ji Ziyue had no idea what her brother was thinking; all she saw was the little brat and Wang Teng returning safely.

"Brother Ji, how have you been?" Upon seeing Ji Haoyue arrive, Wang Teng stood up and greeted Ji Haoyue, pulling Wang Erya along with him.

Seeing Wang Teng's action, Ji Haoyue was startled again. Had he already introduced this little girl to him?

So it seems that Wang Teng isn't entirely opposed to this matter...

If you look at it this way...

Ji Haoyue kept speculating in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She still smiled and greeted Wang Teng.

"Brother Wang has finally escaped. We were so worried about him these past few days. I met with the Jiang family youths and the Holy Son of Yao Guang a few times in private. When we talked about Brother Wang, we couldn't help but sigh. We even said that if we had the chance, we would do our best to rescue him, no matter the cost," Ji Haoyue said with a smile.

Wang Teng nodded; he knew Ji Haoyue was telling the truth.

Because the Ji family invested the most in him, and the reason why Wang Teng was captured by the Peacock King was partly due to the Ji family. In addition, the other two families also recognized the relationship between Wang Teng and their younger generation.

So if there really is a chance, even at a certain cost, these three companies will definitely step in to rescue him.

"Hahaha, thank you for your kindness, Brother Ji. I knew you must be a man of great loyalty and righteousness," Wang Teng laughed and said.

Ye Fan glanced at Wang Teng gratefully. He knew that the words "loyal and righteous" were specifically meant for Ji Haoyue, so that Wang Teng could bring up the matter about him later.

"Er Ya, say hello to your brother Ji Haoyue. He's a good friend of his." Wang Teng tugged at Wang Er Ya's hand, gesturing for her to greet Ji Haoyue.

Hearing the term "brother," Ji Haoyue was taken aback.

"Isn't this your daughter?" Ji Haoyue asked.

Wang Teng chuckled; he knew Ji Haoyue might have misunderstood this.

"The little girl's identity is quite special, we'll talk about it later," Wang Teng chuckled.

"This is Ye Fan, you should know him," Wang Teng said, pointing to Ye Fan beside him.

Ji Haoyue's expression fluctuated slightly, but he still nodded.

"I once asked him about what happened between him and Ziyue. Actually, from my personal perspective, neither you nor Brother Ye did anything wrong in this matter. The situation was indeed critical at the time. If he hadn't learned the Great Void Technique, both he and Ziyue might have faced danger. However, it would have been inappropriate to cause trouble for him because he learned the Great Void Technique during a crisis."

"Of course, I do have some personal connections with Brother Ye. When I say these things, I might be leaning towards a relatively amicable outcome for both sides. How it's handled specifically depends on the Ji family's attitude, and I won't interfere too much."

Wang Teng chuckled and spoke.

His attitude was very gentle, without any of the invincible aura he had shown before. But it was precisely this attitude that made Ji Haoyue sigh.

He understood Wang Teng's meaning perfectly well, but this matter was indeed difficult to handle. The way some people in the Ji family handled it was indeed too radical, causing the matter to develop in a radical direction. In the end, both sides were left hanging, and it was difficult for either side to settle down smoothly.

As for him personally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Ji Ziyue's attitude towards Ye Fan.

"Since Brother Wang has spoken up, I will explain the situation to some of the elders in the family later."

Ji Haoyue smiled and said that this favor should of course be given to Wang Teng.
