"Is there any misunderstanding? I think Lord Jiang... seems to be trustworthy?"
Guan Liyuan didn't know what to say now. First, he heard something about Jiang Ruonan from Jiang Yuanjing.
However, just when Guan Liyuan felt that Jiang Ruonan was too willful, he came back and found that Jiang Ruonan and Zhong Liqiu had reconciled mysteriously, and Zhong Liqiu also swore to tell him that Jiang Yuanjing was a big liar and that he couldn't believe a word?
"It's because you, Liyuan, didn't read much, so he could lie to you!" Zhong Liqiu said firmly.
"Um... can you tell me first, what did you say before?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"After I beat Ruonan before..."
Sure enough, Jiang Ruonan's attitude changed drastically after being beaten. I don't know if it was her natural M physique, or if Zhong Liqiu really had the passive skill of "Friendship Breaking Fist".
Judging from the situation in the room, the two should have really fought after that, but the final result was not only reconciliation, but Jiang Ruonan also opened her heart to Zhong Liqiu...
Maybe there was really some way of communication between girls that Guan Liyuan couldn't understand!
The key point is that Jiang Ruonan later told Zhong Liqiu and Wei Yingying why she had that attitude towards her father...
"...That's it. Jiang Yuanjing's profession is completely different from Ruonan's, and even has nothing to do with it. It's suspicious no matter how you look at it, right?" Zhong Liqiu said. "
That can't be said. There is no conclusion on the issue of professional inheritance. And even if there are some 'problems', City Lord Jiang did raise Nuolan and treat her very well, right?" Guan Liyuan said as a matter of course.
If Jiang Nuolan was just suspicious that she was not her biological child, Guan Liyuan would think it was even more excessive...
"Not only that, I once investigated my own life experience, and finally found that in the year I was born, a big thing happened in Xiongying City! At that time, he was not the city lord of Xiongying City. It was in that year that the old city lord and another candidate for the successor city lord all died, so it was his turn to become the city lord!" Jiang Ruonan said.
"What exactly happened?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"I don't know... Even the city history records have hidden what happened that year. And there was a monument that year, but most of the space on it was written as 'Unknown Hero'. I have found people who might know the truth several times, but each time they were stopped by some mastermind!" Jiang Ruonan said.
"The mastermind?"
"It must be that hypocritical city lord! Who else can do this except him?" Zhongli Qiu said firmly.
"That's not true... But Eagle City is so big, is there really someone who can erase all traces of the 'big event' that happened more than ten years ago? If the impact is really that big, many ordinary residents should know about it, right?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
Are the millions of residents in Eagle City as tight-lipped as the villagers in Konoha?
Guan Liyuan still can't understand why Naruto didn't know about the Nine-Tails until he was twelve years old.
"No, the Eagle City issued the highest level of black alert that year. It was said that the devil would come. For ten days, all residents hid in the underground fortifications. However, the devil did not come in the end, but many high-level and super-level professionals, including the previous city lord, died... Ordinary people only know this." Jiang Ruonan said.
"The black-level alert... the city-destroying level! I'm afraid most of the beginners will withdraw... But in the end the city was not broken, and even the devil did not appear?" Guan Liyuan frowned.
This is obviously a bit unusual...
The meaning of the black alert is that it is almost impossible to preserve the city. Try to withdraw the seedlings that have not yet grown, and choose to abandon some people if necessary! The probability of a false alarm should be very small.
"And I vaguely remember that when I was a child, I saw a portrait of a man with a spear in my mother's diary, and then my mother quickly put the portrait away..." Jiang Ruonan continued.
Guan Liyuan seemed to see the green light above Jiang Yuanjing's head again in a trance...
"Wait, there are illustrations in your mother's diary?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"Well, my mother is an ink elementalist, so she is very good at painting." Jiang Ruonan said.
Ink elementalists are a rare elemental profession that uses a brush to condense ink elements and summon "ink beasts" from the canvas to fight.
"But this doesn't mean anything, right? It's possible... there are too many possible situations!" Guan Liyuan said. Guan
Liyuan actually wanted to say that according to Jiang Ruonan's statement, it should be very likely that her father took over, right? It's unreasonable to embarrass her father like this, right?
"But I asked an ordinary person who knew the situation, and the candidate city lord who died that year was a super-class professional who used a gun!" "
Then maybe City Lord Jiang adopted her... ahem, I mean that maybe City Lord Jiang adopted the daughter of his comrade-in-arms." Guan Liyuan couldn't help but say.
"Your wife, I will raise her" is the most likely situation, isn't it?
"Then why did he completely erase that person's name from Eagle City?"
"This... maybe there is some special reason?" Guan Liyuan obviously couldn't answer.
"That's right! The reason is indeed very special. It was him who killed 'that person'!" Jiang Ruonan said.
"Who told you this?" Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuanjing had also mentioned "someone with ulterior motives".
Jiang Ruonan was still certain that Jiang Yuanjing had killed her biological father even though she had insufficient evidence. It was indeed like someone deliberately guided her!
Seeing Guan Liyuan asking this, Jiang Ruonan's eyes were a little vague, and she just said, "I found out about it myself! Many people know that he and 'that person' had a bad relationship back then, and the two of them were the only two descendants of the old city lord..."
"But these are all your...or someone else's conjectures, aren't they?" Guan Liyuan interrupted.
"That's right, but every time I was about to prove whether this conjecture was true or false, the evidence would always be cut off in the end, and even...several people I found who knew the truth died or disappeared inexplicably in Xiongying City, or went out to train and never came back! If my conjecture was wrong, would he have to go to this extent?" Jiang Ruonan asked back.
"..." Guan Liyuan did not rush to refute this time.
Jiang Ruonan's words were not without reason. If "that person" who was suspected to be her biological father was really Jiang Yuanjing's comrade-in-arms, there was no reason to erase his name from the monument and the city history.
Especially as mentioned later, some people who knew the truth were killed after Jiang Ruonan found them...
Some of them even died in the city!
If it was just to cover up that Jiang Ruonan was his adopted daughter or stepdaughter, there was no need to go to this extent, right?
"Are you so sure that those people were killed by City Lord Jiang?" Guan Liyuan asked.
Jiang Ruonan turned around silently, rummaged through the closet for a long time, and found a small glass bottle with a dried red petal in it...
Just when Guan Liyuan was wondering why he wanted to make flower tea without saying anything, Jiang Ruonan pushed the small bottle in front of Guan Liyuan and said, "That's it! I found it at the scene where one of the people who was killed at home was killed!"
"Huh? You don't mean to say that City Lord Jiang's fingerprints were found on it?" Guan Liyuan looked at the dried petals in confusion.
"This is not an ordinary petal, it's a rose..."
"..." Guan Liyuan continued to be puzzled.
"When I found it, there was still the professional power unique to the professional on it. This is a rose that was nurtured by the professional, and his lackey Mu Beibei is the 'magic flower user' who has the power to manipulate plants, and what she is best at is cultivating magic roses!"
