The captain of the secret guards was extremely terrified and knocked his forehead on the cold ground heavily. “I wouldn’t dare to.” He didn’t feel any contempt for Ao Jie at all now, only fear. He had underestimated Ao Jie at the beginning, but it turned out that Ao Jie was different from Ao Heng. Ao Jie had hid his strength, or perhaps, it wasn’t that he hid his strength, but Ao Jie’s brilliance had always been overshadowed by Qiao Yanhui.

“You don’t dare to? Then who disobeyed the royal family’s instructions and tried to assassinate my brother?” Ao Jie narrowed his eyes.

“It’s my fault. I’m willing to bear the responsibility.” The captain of the secret guards had previously agreed because he enjoyed seeing the emperor capitulate to him. That was why he went against the rules and dealt with people with no relation to the secret families.

Qiao Yanhui narrowed his eyes. This person couldn’t be kept because he was too ambitious. Actually, this entire team was very ambitious. If they couldn’t reorganize the team, they wouldn’t be able to use them.

The captain of the secret guards held his breath in fear.

“Can you bear this responsibility? Give me a reason for your team to continue existing.” Ao Jie snorted.

The captain of the secret guards hurriedly blurted out a bunch of reasons. They were indeed guarding against secret families, but they were only guarding against the secret families in the Ancient Kingdom. After all, secret families were everywhere in the world, and they didn’t have such a large scale.

This secret guard team had a very long history. It was established by the first emperor of the Ancient Kingdom. In the beginning, the Ancient Kingdom was the only powerful country on this continent. However, as time passed, it became weaker.

It was said that in the past, there was a country even stronger than the Ancient Kingdom, and it was the only country that unified the entire continent: the Blue Star Empire. However, it still fell into decline in the end.

The situation in the world had always been that which was divided for a long time would unify, and that which was unified for a long time would divide.

In the end, Qiao Yanhui led the team away.

Ao Jie had been so busy these past two days that he didn’t even have time to sleep. This was because the royal court had lost many talents on this hunting trip, so things had become a little chaotic.

When the other countries heard that the emperor of the Ancient Kingdom had passed away and the new emperor had ascended the throne in a hurry, they all wanted a share of the cake. They hadn’t forgotten Qiao Yanhui, the War God, but if they joined forces, it wasn’t impossible for them to win. After all, Qiao Yanhui was human, not a god… Therefore, everyone was tempted.

Ao Jie propped his head on his hand tiredly and was about to rest when Lin Shu came looking for him. Immediately, Ao Jie’s gaze turned cold.

“Why are you here, Mother?” Ao Jie said calmly. Ever since he found out about his background, he no longer had any affection for Lin Shu. He was only communicating with her patiently because of the Gu worm in his body.

“What? I can’t come and see you?” A fierce look flashed in Lin Shu’s eyes. If not for the fact that he was still useful for the time being, would she waste time talking with him? Looking at this man’s gaze, she felt extremely disgusted. He looked just like that b*tch, who didn’t have any abilities other than seducing people.

“Of course. Mother, where in the entire palace city can’t you go?” Ao Jie mocked. She could even come and go as she pleased in his biological mother’s palace, which was set up as a forbidden area! Otherwise, how could these things have happened?

As Lin Shu stared at Ao Jie, she felt that something was different about him. Could it be that he knew something? That was impossible. After all, other than her and that person, no one else knew about this. Moreover, this was an inconceivable thing. No matter how capable Qiao Yanhui was, he wouldn’t be able to sense it.

“I didn’t come here to tell you this today.” Lin Shu suddenly looked at Ao Jie resentfully, as if she wished she could kill Ao Jie to vent her anger.

Ao Jie lowered his gaze. “What is it?”

“Did you hand over the exclusive army of the past emperors to that bastard Qiao Yanhui?” Lin Shu shouted sternly.

“General Qiao is the son of the late emperor after all. Isn’t it disrespectful to the late emperor for you to keep saying that he’s a bastard? So Mother, please be respectful.” Ao Jie’s expression was extremely cold.

This made Lin Shu’s heart skip a beat, because this was the first time she had seen Ao Jie like this. All these years, she had been controlling him like a puppet. Since when did puppets have their own thoughts? Lin Shu’s expression darkened. “Do you know what that secret guard team represents? How can you give it away to someone so casually?”

Ao Jie chuckled. “I handed it to Qiao Yanhui precisely because I know what that secret guard team represents. He’s my most trusted brother!”
