Jiang Baisha actually leaned towards Jiang Mengtai's statement: "We might as well play along with the Pang family for now and wait until the ancestor recovers before making any decisions."

Jiang Bailin slammed the table. "You're waiting for the ancestor to recover. Doesn't Pang Suo know that? Will Pang Suo wait patiently for the ancestor to recover? Moreover, the family elder was nearly ambushed and killed. Such a great humiliation. If the Jiang family, as a prominent family in Jiujiang, accepts this and just holds their noses, who will they be able to command in the future?"

She narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Jiang Mengtai: "Human hearts are like water; a slight misstep can cause all our hard work to go down the drain! Looking across Jiujiang, only the Jiang family is capable of establishing a foothold in Shenzhou, yet the Pang family has sent a rat from the gutter to cause trouble. If we let this rat go, then the Jiang family might as well just disband on the spot!"

Jiang Mengtai was speechless.

Jiang Baisha pursed his lips: "But..."

Jiang Bailin waved his hand: "No buts! Let's fight! The first step is to send more reliable guards to Chaoqing Peak to ensure the safety of the Ancestor. The second step is to find the traitor. The third step is to kill Pang Suo."

"A mole?"

Jiang Baisha's eyes flashed and he looked at Jiang Mengtai.

Both men understood that there must be a mole involved, otherwise Ponso wouldn't have been able to launch such a flawless sneak attack.

However, it's likely that the two suspects are not the same person.

"It can't be Chen Yao."

Jiang Baisha understood Jiang Mengtai's meaning: "It's simple, there's no benefit for him."

Jiang Mengtai took a deep breath and remained silent.

Jiang Bailin snorted coldly: "Chen Yao is a member of our Jiang family, there is no doubt about that. Besides, he has basically achieved his purpose in coming to Jiujiang. In terms of qualifications and resources, he does not need the support of the Pang family."

Jiang Mengtai thought of the divine-grade pill from earlier and sighed, "I just really don't want to suspect my own family."

"Aren't we the same?"

Jiang Baisha's tone was also very heavy.

Jiang Bailin looked at them and asked: "Who do you think is most likely?"

Jiang Baisha thought for a moment: "This person must be very inconspicuous, but knows all the key information about this incident."

Jiang Mengtai nodded: "Not bad."

He had another suspect he didn't voice, but he had already planted a seed in the Night Blade unit sent to escort Jiang Mengyang.

Hopefully it's not Jiang Mengmeng...

A whooshing sound rose from in front of the small building; it was someone returning from Chaoqing Peak to report the news.

Everything went smoothly, and Jiang Mengyang has stabilized.

After that person left, the three people in the building breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

It was clear that they all tacitly breathed a sigh of relief that the mole wasn't Jiang Mengmeng.

"That leaves only one option."

Jiang Baisha looked at the two of them.

The scout who followed him to Jinchang City to meet Jiang Bailin and Chen Yao, and who kept going back and forth to report the news.

"Jiang Xiaozhao".

“I’ll take care of him myself.” Jiang Bailin stood up.

Jiang Mengtai was both pained and conflicted: "After all, they are family. Can we investigate thoroughly before taking action?"

He looked at Jiang Bailin, his expression pleading, yet also carrying a last glimmer of hope.

Jiang Bailin knew that he still had some doubts about Chen Yao: "I'll take Chen Yao with me, so I can keep an eye on him and give him a chance to clear his name."

“That would be perfect,” Jiang Baisha agreed.

Jiang Mengtai was left speechless.

……

Chen Yao and Su Ning strolled along a path shaded by flowers. The wind and dew had not yet dissipated, and the fragrance of flowers was rich and moist, like the wet kiss Su Ning left between his lips and teeth.

Su Ning's cheeks were flushed, and she seemed to feel the same way.

"Big brother is back."

Chen Yao reminded her.

Su Ning stopped in her tracks, her delicate hand twisting the knot of her belt: "Why are you telling me? It's not like I don't know!"

"Because I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Su Ning looked up at him, her eyes watery: "..."

She didn't know what to say. She had been so resolute in her decision to leave him back then, but now, walking side by side with him, she felt reluctant to part ways.

"cruel!"

After saying that, she turned and ran away.

Chen Yao sighed, the flowers and trees behind him swayed, and a familiar fragrant breeze wafted by.

"Bai Lin..."

"Don't call me that! Call me Big Sister!"

Jiang Bailin walked out of the flower bushes with a tense face and her lips pursed tightly, clearly still resentful that Chen Yao had concealed her identity from her.

"I didn't mean to..."

"You did this on purpose, otherwise you would have told me sooner."

Yes, I can't bear to part with you.

You! Shameless!

Jiang Bailin turned her beautiful face to one side, her cheeks seemingly tinged with a faint blush.

"What does face matter in front of a beautiful woman?"

Chen Yao put on a lazy and listless look.

Jiang Bailin was somewhat overwhelmed: "Never mind. I have something important to discuss with you."

"what?"

"Kill the traitor."

Chapter 161 Blushing and Heart-Pounding

When Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin arrived at Jiang Xiaozhao's door, he was just getting out of bed.

"Auntie, Senior Chen, what brings you here?"

Jiang Xiaozhao grinned as he hurriedly fastened his belt, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.

Jiang Bailin smiled and said, "I heard you're sick? Cultivators don't get sick very easily!"

Jiang Xiaozhao sighed, "It's all because I was too reckless. I wanted to break through as quickly as possible but failed. Moreover, our family has encountered several major events, Ancestor..."

He wiped his eyes: "Our ancestor is seriously injured, and Uncle White Shark has disappeared again. I'm so anxious and worried..."

"Oh, we should be grateful that you care so much about your family and your elders."

"Aunt, what are you saying? I'm also a member of the family, isn't this what I should do?"

Jiang Xiaozhao's eyes widened, and she looked somewhat aggrieved.

Chen Yao watched coldly from the side, but noticed that the man kept one hand hidden behind his back the whole time, clearly on guard.

He released his spiritual sense and discovered that the fluctuation of spiritual energy behind Jiang Xiaozhao was not simple. Once activated, it might even cause a huge explosion in the family residence.

Not to mention that Jiang Xiaozhao's residence is in the gathering area of ​​Foundation Establishment disciples, and the explosion would kill many family forces, the noise of the explosion itself could also expose the location of the base.

Chen Yao glanced at Jiang Bailin and winked at her.

Jiang Bailin also saw the problem, so he sighed and said, "I was also very anxious. The situation at home is not good right now. I always thought that we, who are at a decent level, would be enough. Who would have thought that even the ancestor would have an accident. I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on you. From now on, I will have to rely on you, the younger generation, more."

Jiang Xiaozhao shook his head: "What are you saying, Aunt? We've been raising an army for a thousand days to use it for one. We're all family, how can you say we're 'relying on' each other? Did you come to see me with any instructions?"

"Have."

Jiang Bailin's expression turned serious: "I intend to wage a full-scale war against the Pang family at all costs. You have been a scout for a long time, so take us to find a few strongholds that are close to the Pang family but not noticeable."

"I've got this bag!"

Jiang Xiaozhao agreed readily.

"It might take a few days, and we might even encounter enemies. Let's conserve our spiritual energy!"

Jiang Bailin waved her hand, and a cloud-riding sedan chair flew out from her sleeve, growing larger.

"Xiao Zhao, sit in front and lead the way."

Jiang Xiaozhao locked the door, glanced at Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin, and sat down in the front, but said, "My spiritual power isn't high, so Aunt and Senior Chen will sit next to me to help me control it..."

"Do you even need to tell me that? Chen Yao is sitting behind me."

After Jiang Bailin got into the sedan chair, she sat side by side with Jiang Xiaozhao in front of it, while Chen Yao sat behind her.

The cloud-riding sedan chair wasn't very big, so while it wasn't crowded for three people, it wasn't very spacious either. If they made any unnecessary movements, they would be easily noticed.

Jiang Xiaozhao looked back at the area behind her blind spot and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bai Lin!"

Just then, Su Ning appeared out of nowhere.

"Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"

Jiang Bailin peeked out of the sedan window.

"When you come back, buy me some muscle-regenerating pills; your brother's medicine is almost finished."

"Okay, let's go!"

The sedan chair soared straight into the sky.

"First go to the rafting town on the south bank of the Zhang River. There is a pill workshop there with high-quality pills."

Jiang Bailin demanded.

Jiang Xiaozhao couldn't wait to keep passing through the bustling city: "Yes."
