Sun Yuanshan asked in surprise, "Qi Chang'an, what are you doing here?"

"Is Sect Leader Sun surprised that I'm here?" Qi Chang'an smiled politely, then looked at Feng Guang and said softly, "I'm only able to stand here this time because of Feng Guang."

Feng Guang was too embarrassed to take credit, and without any shyness, she held his arm in front of so many people, saying, "This plan was all your idea; I was just following your instructions."

From the very beginning, it wasn't that Qi Chang'an released her; Qi Chang'an never left her. He brought her back to the Hidden Military Mansion, and he secretly contacted Young Master Shen beforehand. He even secretly discussed with Xia Chao how this scheme should proceed.

Qi Chang'an had been in the military headquarters the whole time, but he was very good at hiding himself, and no one else had ever noticed him. Of course, his best hiding place was his beautiful boudoir.

Sun Yuanshan wasn't stupid; he quickly realized it was a setup. "So... the Ice Cicada was fake too."

“Actually, what Alliance Leader Qi gave me was indeed the Ice Cicada.” Young Master Shen stepped forward, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears. “The Ice Cicada is indeed a real Ice Cicada, but the so-called ability to cure all poisons is just something I made up.”

The purpose of deliberately exaggerating the role of the ice cicada was simply to lure the enemy into a trap. The reason for using a real ice cicada instead of a fake one was to prevent the other party from believing it and causing the plan to fail.

Despite Xia Chao's furious reaction to Qi Chang'an's "kidnapping" of Fengguang, he actually understood Qi Chang'an's character quite well. Of course, this "understanding" could now be considered Xia Chao's own assumption.

It was no surprise that Xia Chao was willing to help Qi Chang'an. The reason why Young Master Shen was willing to help Qi Chang'an was even simpler: Qi Chang'an had agreed to give him the Ice Cicada. Although the Ice Cicada could not cure all poisons, it was still a rare and valuable medicinal herb. The Shen family members were all medicine fanatics.

Qi Chang'an smiled and asked everyone, "Now that it has been proven that I am not the real traitor and murderer, do any of you have any regrets?"

The group exchanged glances, and soon someone smiled obsequiously, "Alliance Leader Qi is upright and incorruptible, how could he be a traitor! We all suspected that the real culprit must be someone else, and we were just waiting to prove Alliance Leader Qi's innocence. Now that Alliance Leader Qi has returned, we are overjoyed, how could we have any regrets!"

"Yes, yes!"

One after another, the others also gave stiff laughs. Those who know when to yield are wise, and they were quick to do so.

That's because they knew that if Qi Chang'an hadn't shown mercy when they besieged him, they probably wouldn't be standing here so peacefully.

To this day, no one knows the exact level of Qi Chang'an's martial arts skills.

Even Sun Yuanshan, who is known for stirring up trouble, chose to keep quiet at this moment.

Qi Chang'an ignored the group of people who were busy smiling obsequiously at Jian. He looked at Wan Ge, whose aura had also changed from the arrogant one he had just been when he was determined to die. "Young Master Wan Ge, things have come to this point, and it can't get any worse. Are you sure you don't want to say a few more words?"

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing more to say." Wan Ge had already disregarded life and death, and her tone remained unwavering.
