Chapter 268: Meeting the soldier with a general and covering the water with earth

Ling Tianyu closed the folder and placed it on the table, rubbing his temples with a painful expression. He hadn't expected things to come to a head so quickly, and he wasn't ready. His strength had declined, and he couldn't just stand by and watch Yanran walk towards her death, could he?

No! Absolutely not! He couldn't allow it!

She was the descendant of the Old Man, and he had made a promise. Even if it cost him his life, he had to protect her.

Looking at Ling Tianyu, who remained silent, Zhao Xiangde shook his head and sighed. However, the situation hadn't reached an unsolvable point; there was still a chance for a turnaround.

"You remember Feng Jiayin, right?" Zhao Xiangde got up and began making tea as he spoke.

"I remember. What about her?" Ling Tianyu looked up, trying to keep his composure as he spoke.

Zhao Xiangde didn't respond immediately. Instead, he continued making tea until it was ready. Only after personally pouring a cup for Tianyu did he speak again.
