Chapter 0285 – Trust and Resolutions – Absolute Returns

Martial Alliance Master Qin Batian’s mind was in chaos.</p>

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Jian Wuji, but for him to believe that Bo Qianjing would take his granddaughter captive was just too unbelievable. Just yesterday, they had been sipping tea and discussing the Dao together, talking and laughing.</p>

"Alliance Master, why don’t we let the others retreat first, with you here, I’m sure that devil won’t be able to fly with his wings." Jian Wuji said, "Even if he manages to escape, you will be able to easily find his trail."</p>

What Jian Wuji said was true, as a Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, it was impossible for him to leave his identity behind and hide in the deep forests, his whereabouts could easily be traced.</p>

After pondering for a moment, Qin Batian ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only a few personal guards behind.</p>

Jian Wuji’s gaze, slowly swept over those guards, and Qin Batian knew that he was suspecting that there were Bo Qianjing’s eyes among these people.</p>

"What? You even suspect them?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"No, I believe in Allied Lord’s vision." Jian Wuji said, "Now, I can tell you the truth of the matter. The reason why I am here is because of Brother Qin’s request, he asked me to investigate Bo Qianjing’s background, and approaching Miss Qin was nothing more than a stopgap measure. When Brother Qin first asked me for help, he purposely arranged for Miss Qin to invite me to come to the Martial Alliance."</p>

Jian Wuji told Qin Batian the whole story in a concise manner, but Qin Batian was still in disbelief.</p>

"In the past ten years, he has been teaching Xia Jun with great care and has never done anything different, how do you expect me to believe that he would do such a thing?" Qin Batian said, "If it were you, who would you believe? A young sect master of a demonic sect, or a master who has never done anything bad in ten years?"</p>

"Then why didn’t the Alliance Master just take me down?" Jian Wuji asked rhetorically.</p>

The reason why Qin Batian didn’t do so was because of Jian Wuji’s words:</p>

"If I had wanted to frame him, I would never have used this method."</p>

Qin Batian had had several encounters with Jian Wuji, and had a certain understanding of his character. Moreover, over the years, there had been more and more rumors about Jian Wuji, and those rumors were all proof of his extraordinary nature.</p>

What’s more, if the Demon Sect really wanted to take Qin Xia Ling captive, that would mean that they would have to go to war with the Martial Arts Alliance, but nowadays, the Demon Sect didn’t show any signs of going to war.</p>

"Could …… it really be that Bo Qianjing did it?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"A thousand times true." Jian Wuji said.</p>

"Do you dare to confront him?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"Of course, but he shouldn’t be at his residence right now." Jian Wuji said.</p>

Qin Batian immediately transmitted his voice to one of his inner circle, ordering him to bring Bo Qianjing here.</p>

"If what you say is true, then why didn’t Lord Xia ask me for help?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"Because he knows that you won’t believe him." Jian Wuji said, "Just like right now, you don’t trust me either."</p>

"If Xia Jun told me …… himself," Qin Batian said.</p>

"You will only believe it even less." Jian Wuji interrupted, "You will only think that between the master and disciple duo, some sort of conflict has occurred."</p>

Qin Batian couldn’t refute that Jian Wuji’s words hit the nail on the head.</p>

"There is another reason." Jian Wuji said, "Brother Qin suspects that within the Martial Alliance, there are eyes of Bo Qianjing, which is why he dares not easily disclose this matter to you."</p>

Qin Batian decided to trust Jian Wuji, after all, Jian Wuji had once saved Qin Xiaoling’s life, so there was no reason for him to be beneficent.</p>

"Then why did Bo Qianjing take Xia Ling captive?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"At first, I thought that he was doing it to deal with me, but now it seems that things are not that simple." Jian Wuji said, "Even if he hates me even more, he wouldn’t do such a thing just to deal with me. He shouldn’t know about your relationship with me, which is why he thought that we would have a big fight here."</p>

If that was the case, then the nature of the matter, would have completely changed, no longer a personal grudge between Jian Wuji and Qin Batian, but a war between the Demon Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance. It was impossible for Bo Qianjing not to know this.</p>

Jian Wuji secretly said in his heart: there must be some other reason for him to do this.</p>

"Alliance Master, please let me go, I will rescue Miss Qin and also find out the truth of the matter." Jian Wuji said.</p>

Qin Batian closed his eyes and said nothing. Last time, he also had no choice but to hand over Qin Xia Ling’s safety and security, to Jian Wuji, and now, he was going to repeat the same mistake?</p>

A few moments later, the believer who had gone to look for Bo Qianjing returned and told Qin Batian that Bo Qianjing was indeed not at his residence.</p>

"Why do you have to save her?" Qin Batian asked.</p>

"Because he is targeting me." Jian Wuji said, "If you, Alliance Master, were to personally intervene, he would definitely deny it, and by then, it would be very difficult for us to find Miss Qin."</p>

"Are you threatening me?" Qin Batian said angrily.</p>

"Allied Lord, I ……" Jian Wuji still wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Qin Batian.</p>

"Shut up!" Qin Batian shouted angrily, "Men, escort the two of them down!"</p>

"Alliance Master, if you move me, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Jian Wuji warned.</p>

"Shut the hell up!" Qin Batian roared.</p>

The surrounding disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance, hearing the roar of the Alliance Master, gathered around.</p>

Several guards stepped forward and escorted Jian Wuji and Li An down.</p>

"Sect Leader, what should we do?" Li An asked anxiously.</p>

"What else can we do? We can’t make a move with the Martial Alliance, can we?" Jian Wuji said in a low voice.</p>

"But, Miss Qin, she ……" Li An said worriedly.</p>

"She is his granddaughter, so he will naturally find a way to save her." Jian Wuji said.</p>

"But ……" Li An was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Jian Wuji.</p>

"Don’t say anything, let’s wait and see what happens first." Jian Wuji said.</p>

A few guards escorted the two of them onto a carriage, which immediately departed towards the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.</p>

Li An Xin was filled with doubts, why would Jian Wu Ji give up so easily? Why would he respond so negatively? This was not like his usual style.</p>

"Bishop, you …… you are not really going to give up, right?" Li An asked cautiously.</p>

There were only the two of them in the carriage, and the anger on Jian Wuji’s face gradually dissipated, restoring his usual calmness.</p>

"Of course not." Jian Wuji said.</p>

Li An sniffed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.</p>

"I knew you wouldn’t give up." Liam said.</p>

A few moments later, the carriage stopped at a secluded place.</p>

Jian Wuji and Li An stepped out of the carriage and found Qin Batian standing on the side of the road waiting for them.</p>

In order to prevent Bo Qianjing’s eyes from mixing in, Qin Batian purposely staged a play to escort the two of them back to the Martial Alliance’s headquarters, but in reality, he secretly followed them and came here.</p>

Qin Batian once again believed in Jian Wuji.</p>

He unlocked Jian Wuji and Li An’s acupoints, and without saying anything more, he just looked at Jian Wuji and said:</p>

"Rescue Charing."</p>

The two men’s gazes met in mid-air, and they knew each other by heart.</p>

Jian Wuji knew that Qin Batian, as the Martial Arts Alliance Master, had entrusted his granddaughter’s life, to a Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, how much courage and trust was required?</p>

"I will definitely save her." Jian Wuji said solemnly.</p>

Qin Batian nodded and turned around to walk onto the carriage.</p>

He believed that he had made the right choice.</p>

Although he had left this matter in the hands of Sword Wuji, he, himself, would do everything he could to find Qin Xia Ling’s whereabouts.</p>

Jian Wuji watched the carriage go away, then said to Li An:</p>

"You immediately return to the Demon Sect and inform the two Demon Elders of this matter."</p>

"Is there anything else to account for?" Liam asked.</p>

"Let’s leave the rest to the two Demon Sovereigns to decide." Jian Wuji said.</p>

This was his trust in the Blood Sky Blade Demon and Fist Demon, and he believed that they would make the most correct judgment.</p>

He had the same trust in Li An, and he believed that she would tell the two Demon Elders what had happened, as it was.</p>

Li An led the way, and Jian Wuji also turned to leave.</p>

From Qin Batian to Li An, they were all using their actions to express their trust in Jian Wuji.</p>

Qin Xia Ling woke up in a strange room.</p>
