Ji Fengyan was taken aback.
Ye Yuan immediately knew the answer the moment he saw Ji Fengyan's expression. He closed his eyes and emitted a soft sigh.
"You really have never used it before. Fengyan, is it because you know of something? That's why you never activated the World-Termination-Armour before?" Ye Yuan opened his eyes and stared fixedly at Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan replied calmly, "I promised someone that I would never use the World-Termination-Armour."
Ye Yuan's question made Ji Fengyan feel vaguely uneasy, but... she could not be sure if Ye Yuan knew the secret behind the World-Termination-Armour. She would say nothing yet, as she didn't want to drag him into that mess if he wasn't aware of it.
Ye Yuan appeared shocked. He never imagined that the reason why Ji Fengyan didn't use the World-Termination-Armour was because of that. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, that's good then."
Ye Yuan hesitated before continuing, "Fengyan, do you know why Terminators exist?"
Ji Fengyan's heart jumped, but she maintained a calm facade.
Ye Yuan went on."Terminators are born because of the World-Termination-Armour. You are naturally gifted. Although a late-bloomer, your abilities have been astonishing. The battle at the capital institute had already raised your profile throughout the entire nation. This time, the three-army battle has also resolved a major problem for the nation. Taking back such a huge territory is a significant victory. But..."
Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes."The two generals of the Green Nightmare Army and the Blaze Army, Situ Ba and Yang Shun, had both perished in this battle. But you alone survived. Fengyan, this matter... may not be such a good thing for you. I am afraid your return to the capital city will not be a simple matter. Your grandfather asked me to tell you this."
"What is it?"
"If anything happens, you don't need to worry about the Ji family. He will protect them to the best of his abilities. You just need to... do what your heart tells you, " Ye Yuan said.
Ji Fengyan was stunned.
Do what your heart tells you.
It seemed like Ji Ru was trying to caution her against something.
No need to worry about the Ji family?
Could it be...
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. The peculiarity pointed out by Linghe, plus the message that Ji Ru wanted Ye Yuan to pass onto her—had shaken her to the core.
It appeared that the Emperor had ulterior motives in summoning her back to the capital city.
"Thank you to grandfather and tutor for your advice." Ji Fengyan rose and bowed.
Ye Yuan said, "Fengyan, I have something here that your grandfather prepared for you. Enough gold and treasures to last you for the rest of your life. If... you are unwilling to be under such constraints, your grandfather has said that you can just take these and leave the capital city, leave the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Go and live the life that you want."
The meaning behind these words were extremely clear.
The Emperor intended to harm Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan felt something was rather off. Zhan Fei had revealed nothing that bode ill for her. Why would the Emperor suddenly be suspicious of her? To the extent that... the Ji family had received the news and Ji Ru was risking everything to forewarn her, as well as hinting at her to leave?
What the hell had happened?
After some thought, Ji Fengyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Yuan.
"Tutor, I came back as I was summoned. It will be difficult for me to leave without seeing His Majesty first. I appreciate the kind intentions of you and grandfather. I know what to do."
Ji Fengyan's answer shocked Ye Yuan. He shook his head in resignation at her resolute expression.
"Alright, this is your choice. I won't say anymore." Ye Yuan looked at Ji Fengyan and sighed helplessly.
