deadly mantra

Chapter 572 Only one step away

Now, only a few of them know about this matter. They must take the imperial edict to immediately arrest Ji Qianying and Bao Jiaqi, and make a final decision without giving them the slightest chance to reverse the case.

Li Haiyang glanced at Bao Simu sympathetically, turned to look at Zheng Hongyan who was walking towards him with the imperial edict in hand, and said in a deep voice:

"My mentor has been waiting so hard for so many years, and finally there is only one final step left."

Zheng Hongyan looked indifferent and glanced at Bao Simu:
"Before the last move is made, the slightest movement can change the direction of the entire chess game. Now is not the time to breathe easy."

Li Haiyang immediately understood the meaning and looked at Bao Simu, full of pity and helplessness.

Bao Simu shuddered and suddenly woke up from his sadness. He struck Li Haiyang's chest with a palm, and Li Haiyang was forced to retreat and dodge.

"Don't even think about locking me up! I'm going to see my mother, and I'm going to find my grandpa!" Bao Simu turned around and tried to escape.

However, at this time, a tall figure slowly appeared, blocking her way to survive.

Bao Simu opened his eyes in disbelief and backed away frequently:

"Dad... you... you want... you want to arrest me too?"

Bao Yide endured his grief and said hoarsely:

"This is the only thing dad can do for you."

In an instant, the sky that held up Bao Simu suddenly collapsed. The corners of her pale lips twitched, wanting to laugh, but she cried in despair.

Li Haiyang saw the right moment, took a few steps forward, and knocked Bao Simu out with one palm. After catching Bao Simu, he raised his head and said:

"Teacher, please give her to me."

Zheng Hongyan stared at Bao Simu's face and said in a serious tone:

"I will only give her one chance to protect her. If you understand, don't let her come out again before the decision is made."

Li Haiyang felt a cold sweat break out behind his back. He vaguely felt that his mentor was not only aggressive but also a bit frighteningly cruel last night. He quickly agreed, "Yes! I promise to keep an eye on her and not let her come out."

"It's not a guarantee." Zheng Hongyan ignored the prayer in his eyes and said coldly: "It's absolute."

Li Haiyang's heartbeat accelerated, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said hoarsely:
"Yes."

Zheng Hongyan then raised his head and looked at Bao Yide, feeling a little bored in his heart, and said firmly:
"Disciples who want to keep the Good Sword Alliance, come with me."

Bao Yide stared deeply at Bao Simu for a moment, then bowed gratefully towards Li Haiyang, turned around and chased after Bao Yide.

Mu Chanyi stood at a high place, unable to calm down. She vaguely guessed why Bao Simu had an emotional breakdown, but she was full of questions:

"You knew about it yesterday?"

Ji Fanyin nodded calmly:
"Yes."

The dazzling sunlight enveloped her body, but Mu Chanyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, feeling a bone-chilling chill.

"You..." Mu Chanyi frowned and asked hesitantly, "Are you planning to... let Bao Simu go?"

Upon hearing this question, Ji Fanyin showed a kind smile and said:
"From the beginning, I was not targeting her. It was you who had been begging me to let her go. I never said she was on my list."

"List?" Mu Chanyi's pupils suddenly closed: "What list?"

Ji Fanyin smiled:
"You will know about this issue soon. After all, Bao Simu, if you value her so much, aren't you curious about why her emotions were so intense just now?"

Mu Chanyi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper:
"what have you done?"

"Hey~" Ji Fanyin waved her hand and immediately cleared the air: "This matter has nothing to do with me."
