Seeing that Xia Xiang didn't believe him, He Ping immediately sent a servant to call Commander Abdu over. His current name is Abdu Hao, also known as Brother Hao, or the guy in question.

When that guy arrived, he bowed respectfully, not daring to look Xia Xiang in the eye at all.

"Raise your head," Xia Xiang said arrogantly.

The guy's skin had returned to its previous fair complexion, and he even had noticeable dimples. He had delicate features and a lean, slender build. Because of the exposure, he no longer disguised himself as Brother Hao; instead, he simply took his name.

His statement was the same as He Ping's, but Xia Xiang seemed increasingly skeptical.

"Him?" Xia Xiang said incredulously, "He can rescue me from the righteous prison?"

"Is the righteous path so weak? The fact that it still exists doesn't mean we're powerless either."

That guy: I don't know what stance to take to remain silent....

Peace: ...Ah, this? How should I explain this to you?

"He's alright looking, I just need a bodyguard," Xia Xiang said nonchalantly.

"Miss, this is the deputy commander," said the shameless peacekeeper, "the deputy commander of the Holy War Guard."

"Oh, so what?" Xia Xiang moved the medicine bowl away from her mouth and looked at He Ping coldly.

He looked like he wouldn't take his medicine unless you agreed.

"I will go and request permission from the sect leader," He Ping said with a bow, and then immediately left.

"That's perfect, I need a maid," Xia Xiang said. "She has to be pretty, find a few young ladies for me to choose from."

After saying that, he began to drink the medicine in small sips.

"Oh my god, it's so bitter!" Xia Xiang's little face scrunched up as she complained, "Isn't there any medicine that isn't bitter?!"

That guy was inwardly devastated; he hadn't even had a chance to properly enjoy his position as deputy commander! Xia Xiang, that little brat, was practically a stumbling block on his path to promotion!

"Ah Hao, give Miss a piece of candy," Xia Xiang said with a smug look. "The first rule of being someone's bodyguard is to be perceptive! Understand?"

The maid standing to the side immediately brought a tray full of honey candy to Xia Xiang's side.

Maid: Daddy! Drink up!

"Yes, Miss, I understand." The man bowed and said.

“From now on, you’ll follow me, and I’ll guarantee you wealth and honor. This little deputy commander is nothing to worry about,” Xia Xiang said arrogantly, then suddenly realized, “Oh right, you’re the deputy commander.”

"Take me to your sect leader, let's see if we can get him a leadership position."

Lanling King: I really will thank you!

Xia Xiang was kidnapped, and the reactions from all sides were different. Many people only just learned that Xia Xiang had returned to the Iron Dimension.

"What exactly do you want?" Jiu Wu asked calmly after calming himself down.

"Her father is Ye Siren, whose full name is Yehenara Siren." The alliance leader put down what he was doing and looked at Jiu Wu with a calm expression.

"Impossible! Isn't her father a Muggle?!" Jiu Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Which Yehenara family???"

"The largest demonized family in the Iron Dimension is the Yehenara family," the Alliance Leader said. "Her father is Yehenara Xiong Ba's only son, and she is Yehenara Xiong Ba's granddaughter."

"So?" Jiu Wu quickly regained his composure and asked in return.

"So you have to cooperate. Things have come to this point, just follow her plan," the leader said. "Yehenara Xiongba won't hurt her, and she has people protecting her. Besides, she has the ability to protect herself, so don't do anything rash."

"Won't hurt her? She was shot in the chest today, blood splattered everywhere." Jiu Wu said fiercely, "You don't use a self-inflicted injury ruse like this. Don't tell me this was also arranged by you!"

"This was an accident," the alliance leader said helplessly.

He disagreed, but he knew Xia Xiang too well. Even if he disagreed, she would do it herself, so he might as well do his best to cooperate and give her all the support.

Now that she's in charge of the spies over there, it's time to eliminate the undercover agents here as well.

Jiu Wu knew that things had come to this point, and he could only settle accounts when everything had settled down. Without saying anything, he got up and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" the alliance leader asked.

“Go cooperate with her,” Jiu Wu said through gritted teeth. “We’ll be back soon.”

Hu Yanjing and Ren Chenfeng were still keeping watch when they heard the news, and their vision went completely black.

"Let's go rescue them!" Hu Yanjing put down the documents he was organizing and pulled Ren Chenfeng toward Yehenara's house. "We've been to Yehenara's house before. We'll sneak out at night to rescue them."

“Let’s go back and pack our gear, take the back roads to get there, and then sneak in under cover of darkness,” Ren Chenfeng said calmly. “But the two of us are probably outnumbered.”

"Okay, after we sneak in, don't come out yet, stay in the shadows. I'll go rescue Xia Xiang."

"If things go well for me, you can provide further support. If I am also captured, contact the Imperial Guard as soon as possible."

“No!” Hu Yanjing refused. “I’ll go first, and you can provide backup from the shadows.”

"We'll see," Ren Chenfeng said, packing his things. "It depends on the situation."
