“Who are those two people?”
On the way back, Marquess Ning had thought about it but could not figure out where they had co from.
He felt his face burn at the thought of how he had embarrassed himself. No one had ever dared to treat him like this.
And those two did not rely on their own strength—they had used a paper effigy to overpower him.
He believed that the paper effigy definitely did not belong to that woman. It must have been given to them by their elders for self-defense. Otherwise, they would not be so capable at such a young age.
However, he had never heard of soone so powerful in Zhanling Empire, and they couldn’t be from Yueming Empire either.
If soone so capable existed in Yueming Empire, the Yueming Emperor would have taken them in long ago. Why would Zhan Beiye have the chance to leverage them?
“Could it be… an inter-plane traveler?” He could not help but wonder if they were from another plane.
It was the only explanation. Only inter-plane travelers could travel freely between planes.
“No… That’s impossible!” He shook his head again, dismissing the thought
If one of them was really an inter-plane traveler, they could not have brought the other person with them. Huayan Peak had rules for inter-plane travelers.
The inter-plane travelers could not bring anyone else to a plane they did not belong to.
“Who would that be?” he asked himself, wondering if he had ever discovered soone like them in this plane.
Besides the people Zhan Beiye brought back from Huayan Peak, how could there be such powerful individuals who were unknown to the two empires?
“Co, Sister-in-Law, eat this. This is delicious.”
In the City Lord Residence, Zhan Beiye ordered soone to cook a large feast in the early morning after An Jiuyue ntioned she was hungry.
After all, she had given him such a powerful paper effigy. He would no longer have to fear people like Marquess Ning targeting him.
Of course, this was only temporary. He would beco stronger and have his own shadow guards to protect him.
However, he had none of that now.
Moreover, no matter how many shadow guards there were, they were probably no match for this paper effigy.
“Do you have to do this?”
Qian Jiyun sat beside An Jiuyue and was speechless as he watched Zhan Beiye fawn over his wife.
Wasn’t it just a paper effigy? There was really no need for all of this!
“Yes!” Zhan Beiye looked at him and nodded seriously. “You don’t know what’s going on. There are more than just one or two people like Marquess Ning.”
He had 20 cities in his pocket. How many people were eyeing this piece of fat at, hoping to claim it for themselves? He could defend against a few of them, but he couldn’t defend against everyone.
Qian Jiyun shook his head helplessly and did not say anything else to him. He looked at An Jiuyue and said softly, “Let’s ignore him. I’ll serve you whatever you want to eat.”
An Jiuyue glanced at him and said, “I don’t particularly crave anything. I’ll help myself. You should eat too.”
Honestly, she was just looking for an excuse to keep Zhan Beiye occupied because he had been nagging at her the whole ti..
