Chapter 144: I've Always Relied on Myself!

  He got down from the carriage and walked to the front of Cang Ye's sedan chair, respectfully lifting the curtain for Cang Ye.

  Those guards on the side, however, didn't show any surprise. This young strongman's identity was far beyond that of a prime minister's. When they heard that Jun Qianyu had really returned, Jun Qing, who was originally preparing to mobilize troops, also rushed over in a hurry.

  Just as he was about to ask the Ministry of War for troops to rescue Jun Qianyu, he received a large number of assassins sent by several family guards. From their mouths, it was also learned that Jun Qianyu was already safe and sound. As for the process, the few people were unwilling to mention it, saying that they would wait until Miss returned to explain. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a report from his subordinate. His precious daughter had already returned.

  In this world, there's nothing more important than family. Jun Qing didn't even bother to interrogate the assassins and ran all the way to the front gate. He had to see with his own eyes that his daughter was safe.

  However, the scene in front of the door made him puzzled. Because at this moment, what appeared before his eyes was undoubtedly his daughter. But this proud and arrogant daughter was now respectfully opening the curtain for someone with a humble face!

  Someone who can make my daughter so obedient must be an extraordinary person. Judging from the situation earlier, it should be the benefactor who saved my daughter in the carriage! Thinking of this, Junqing stepped down from the steps and walked towards the carriage. A life-saving favor, he must repay properly!

  But when he saw the person getting off the carriage, Jun Qing was stunned.

  This person, didn't I just see him yesterday?! Could it be... I made a mistake myself?

  Although such thoughts were in his mind, his footsteps didn't slow down at all. He came directly to the front of the horse carriage, first sizing up Jun Qianyu from head to toe, and after finding no injuries, he looked at Cang Ye standing on the side, with a calm expression.

  "Qian Yu, what happened? Which powerful person saved you?"

  Shook his head, looked around and then leaned in close to Jun Qing's ear and whispered "study room".

  He nodded slightly. It seems that things are not as simple as he thought, and his daughter is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a lot of her own style in doing things. Since his daughter said so, there must be some big secret that cannot be known to an outsider.

  "Someone, please escort Mr. Cang down to rest." He shouted towards the back, letting some attendants come over to send Cang Ye back to his room to rest. As for why Cang Ye appeared here, Jun Qing didn't have time to think about it now.

  "Mr. Cang, you've been startled. After this is over, Junqing will personally apologize to you."

  Turning around, he said to Cang Ye, "It's already not easy for a prime minister to say such things. However, before the servant could come over, he was driven away by Jun Qianyu again."

  "Father, this matter is related to Mr. Cang, let's go to the study room and talk about it together later!"

  After saying this, he looked at Cang Ye with a hint of politeness, as if waiting for him to take the lead.

  He smiled wryly and shook his head. He was afraid of such reverence. In the Qingxia Sect, which disciple didn't look at him with infinite admiration? This was also one of the reasons why Cang Ye didn't want to stay there. He just wanted to live an ordinary life for a while.

  "Qian Yu, since I've called you that, I hope you'll call me Cang Ye too! What I need is a friend, not an admirer. Do you understand?"

  Looking at the sincere gaze of Cang Ye, Jun Qianyu seemed to understand something. A slight nod. The awkward expression gradually faded away, and a smile that came from the heart reappeared on her face.

  With a hearty laugh, under Junqing's lead, the three of them headed towards the study.

  As soon as they entered the study, Jun Qianyu, who was walking at the back, suddenly knelt down. This sudden movement not only shocked Cang Ye but also startled Jun Qing.

  With a wave of his hand, he wanted to help Jun Qianyu up, but found that she had used her spiritual energy and was still stubbornly kneeling on the ground. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. Cang Ye spoke up and asked.

  "Qian Yu, what do you mean by this?"

  "Sir, even if you treat me as a friend, I will also treat you as a good friend. However, such great kindness is hard to repay, please accept my bow!"

  At this time, it was just a light sigh, and there was no helping up the fallen Jun Qianyu. For him, it might have been just a casual move, but for others, it could be a lifesaving great kindness!

  She felt that the darkness of night had stopped haunting her, and a hint of relief smiled on her face. Finally, after three bows, Jun Qianyu stood up. At this moment, she seemed to have regained the elegance and refinement of the woman from daytime.

  However, after the two had done everything, Jun Qing was confused. As for his daughter, he trusted her 100%, and since she said that Mr. Cang had helped him greatly, then it must be true. If not, he would probably thank this so-called benefactor anyway.

  "Father, you must be wondering why Mr. Cang has been so kind to me!"

  Seeing her father's puzzled gaze, Jun Qianyu smiled slightly.

  "Mr. Cang has already decided to take charge of things for me and Qinquan!"

  When he heard the two words "Qin Quan", Jun Qing's face suddenly changed. He knew his daughter liked this genius who was famous throughout the land. Moreover, this genius seemed to care about his daughter deeply. Originally, such a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman would have been met with no objections from him. On the contrary, he had always looked upon it very favorably. However, standing at his current position, he could no longer consider just the present situation alone.

  Or the two combined, can temporarily lift his family to a higher level, but what about afterwards? Afterwards, they will not only be attacked by those top-notch aristocratic families, but also likely to be abandoned by those few absolute rulers of the empire! After all, Qinquan refused their invitation to take on apprentices back then, this is a bare-faced slap in the face!

  Or, Qinquan's talent is indeed terrifying, but unfortunately, to become a strong enough person to protect his family, it would take at least nearly a hundred years, which is absolutely impossible. But the question is, will those people give them a hundred years?

  Thinking of the lives of nearly a thousand people in your household, you firmly established your position. Your face slightly changed color as you glanced at Cang Ye, and said calmly.

  "Mr. Cang, thank you for your kindness, but this matter is no longer just Rain's personal affair! I am the Imperial Chancellor, but also the master of the Jun family! Therefore, I must consider the well-being of over a thousand people in the Jun family!"

  When she heard Jun Qing's words, Jun Qianyu seemed to be stunned for a moment. It wasn't until now that she suddenly woke up. She still had family! She still had thousands of relatives and friends! In the past, she always blamed her father for not being able to let go of his high-ranking position and wealth, and not being willing to leave this country with her for her happiness. But now, she finally understood. The entire Jun family wasn't just the Jun family of her and Jun Qing's two people! If they left here, wouldn't those several powerful families who had lost their targets vent their anger on the thousands of people in the Jun family who remained?! Such situations had already happened too many times...

  "Dad, I was wrong."

  Unconsciously, Jun Qianyu had already lowered her head in shame. Seeing her like that, Jun Qing didn't have a hint of happiness on his face. He would rather have his daughter hate him before than have her understand the cruelty of it all.

  He didn't say much, just gently patted Jun Qianyu's shoulder.

  "Qian Yu, you go out first. There are some things that I hope to discuss with your father."

  Facing the father and daughter comforting each other on that side, Cang Ye couldn't help but shake his head. Afraid that the two would continue to be moved like this, Cang Ye quickly spoke out his intention.

  Upon hearing his words, Jun Qianyu regained her composure from the emotional turmoil and slightly froze. There were things that she needed to avoid. However, she didn't ask any further questions either. After all, her happiness for the rest of her life, as well as everything related to the Jun family, rested in this person's hands.

  The clever one nodded slightly, glanced at her father and then slowly walked away from here.

  "Mr. Cang, I don't know what business you have that requires us to meet in person? I know you're doing this for Xiaoxiao's sake, and it's kind of you. Unfortunately, some things aren't so easy for you to get involved in. Behind your back, there might be a first-rate empire pulling the strings!"

  Upon hearing Jun Qing's words, Cang Ye was slightly taken aback. When did the one standing behind him change into a first-rate empire?

  Seeing Cang Ye's appearance, Jun Qing thought he had really guessed it. He didn't say anything else because his meaning had already been expressed. That was the situation behind Cang Ye, even with the shadow of a first-rate empire, they absolutely could not interfere here.

  Shook his head. Gazed at this lord of the Jun family with a hint of a smile in his eyes. Cang Ye slowly began to explain.

  "Master of the house, I think you've misunderstood. Behind me, there isn't any first-rate empire, not even a single smallest city. What I rely on at night has always been myself!"

  After saying this, although no momentum was released, the temperament of looking down on all living things and laughing at the world had already completely shocked the ordinary person in front of him.

  He stared blankly at that handsome face. He didn't know what kind of confidence would allow this young man to say such domineering words.

  Looking at this face that is barely twenty years old. Jun Qing kept recalling in his mind, recalling all the records related to the name Cang Ye over the past year. Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of this name. Unwilling to be so confused, the man who could say such words with confidence must be an extraordinary genius! As the prime minister of a country, having control over the country's intelligence resources, there is no reason why he wouldn't have heard of such a name!

  Since there was none in the first year, let's continue to recall the second year!

  Jun Qing was there thinking quietly, and Cang Ye didn't disturb him. The two were equally silent. For a while, the whole room was eerily quiet.

  Still nothing in the second year! Then it's the third year! At this time, Junqing has recalled everything from the second year, but unfortunately, there is still no information.
