Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1307 Divide and Conquer (3)

Jian Ai said to Zhi Tong, “I remember that after you are completely etherealized, physical attacks won’t work on you! No matter how Edward’s hair changes, it’s still hair. It shouldn’t hurt you!”

Jian Ai had a certain understanding of Zhi Tong’s abilities. Back then, he dared to sneak into the mercenary group’s headquarters to gather information because physical attacks did not affect his body after his etherealiization.

Therefore, even if he was discovered and shot at, he would not sustain an injury.

Zhi Tong nodded. “Sect Master is right. I’ll deal with this person.”

“Sect Master!” At this moment, Duo, who had said nothing, suddenly spoke. He said respectfully, “Zhi Tong is the Hand of the Evil Spirit, and I’m the Pen of Calming Souls. The two of us belong to the dark attribute mental cultivation techniques of ancient times. It can be said to complement each other. If we work together, we might have an unexpected effect.”

Jian Ai had never seen or understood Duo’s mental cultivation techniques, but hearing his explanation, Jian Ai still believed Duo’s words.

Moreover, she was indeed worried about Zhi Tong acting alone, so she nodded and said, “In that case, Uncle Duo and Zhi Tong will act together.”

Jian Ai called Duo Uncle because her soul was twenty-six years old, so it was fine for her to call the other sect members by their names.

However, Duo was already in his forties. Out of politeness, she was too embarrassed to call him by his name, so she called him Uncle.

“Understood.” Duo nodded in agreement.

This way, other than Ye Liushang and Yu Wuyuan fighting the two strongest people on the other side alone, most people had already split into groups.

Now, only Gale, Robert, and Jian Ai were left!

“Leave the last person to Robert, Gale, and me!” Jian Ai said.

When Bai Zhou heard this, he subconsciously frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master, aren’t you bringing someone from the ancient sect along?”

Jian Ai smiled and said, “There’s no need. We’ve made targeted arrangements for everyone, so there’s no need to change because of me. Robert and Gale are both powerful. It shouldn’t be a problem for the three of us to fight against one person.”

“Besides, perhaps we can still get the other sect members’ help with this last person, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“But…” Bai Zhou was anxious. He was already worried.

Jian Ai raised her hand and interrupted Bai Zhou. She said firmly, “Alright, I won’t risk my life. Don’t worry.”

She was the leader of the ancient sect and was not a flower raised in a greenhouse. She had arranged for herself to be in the weakest of the eight enemies’ camp. This was already the greatest concession to let Bai Zhou and the rest feel at ease.

The reason for this arrangement was that Jian Ai knew her limitations. She wanted to experience all the hardships with everyone, but she also knew her limits. Therefore, she assigned herself to deal with the other party’s weakest person.

Of course, Jian Ai could not judge if she was weak or not, but other than that, she had no better choice because she would not do nothing.

Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Bai Zhou could only lower his head. The others knew the conflict and struggle in Bai Zhou’s heart. Everyone, including the Sect Master, was risking their lives for him. However, as one of the twelve guards, he could do nothing because he had no combat strength.

“It’s fine. Leave it to us!” Yu Wuyuan gently placed his hand on Bai Zhou’s shoulder and comforted him.

The others nodded one after another. “Don’t worry, no matter what the other party’s background is, they won’t have a good time if they dare to provoke the ancient sect. This time, I’ll let your ignorant brother see what people he shouldn’t have provoked!”

Bai Zhou looked at the firm and decisive expressions in everyone’s eyes and felt touched.

They were originally one, advancing and retreating together. Even if he could not contribute in terms of combat ability, at least in terms of mind and spirit, he was highly unified with everyone!

“It’s been hard on everyone!” Bai Zhou nodded hard!

Jian Ai smiled and looked at everyone. “Everyone must be tired from rushing over. You can rest in Baiyun City for the next few days. It’s almost New Year’s Day in China. As soon as New Year’s Day passes, we’ll act together!”

They did not plan to kill them one by one. Instead, they had to deal with all eight of them at the same time. Only then would they not give the others and Prince Qi Ye any chance to react. The shock they caused would also be the greatest!

At night, everyone planned to have a gathering. Because there were many people, everyone who knew how to cook went to the kitchen to help Chi Yang.

Jian Ai looked at the lively scene in the house and couldn’t help but smile. She had finally seen all the twelve guards, leaving only Ye Liushang, who was ranked first, and the twelfth…

Thinking of the twelfth, Jian Ai couldn’t help but mind. From the way everyone addressed him, it didn’t seem that he was called the twelfth because he was at the bottom of the rankings. Instead, he should be the youngest among the twelve guards.

Younger than Si Yue?

Jian Ai didn’t know because Bai Zhou seemed to deliberately avoid talking about the twelfth, so her understanding was limited.

She didn’t know what kind of person he was, but Jian Ai was almost as curious about him as she was about the High Priest.

“Sect Master, everyone is finally together.” Yun Buyao handed a glass of champagne to Jian Ai and smiled at her.

Jian Ai took it and nodded with a smile. “Yes, when Bai Zhou first found me, I was so resistant to meeting you…”

Jian Ai still remembered her mental activity at that time. She said in a dignified manner that she didn’t want to disturb others’ normal lives. She was exceptionally serious, and Bai Zhou believed her.

However, only Jian Ai knew that at that time, she had not completely accepted this new identity. The real meaning behind her words was that she did not want to disturb her life with this sudden new identity.

People were ultimately selfish at certain times. She had just been reborn and only wanted to cherish this lifetime. She did not want to be distracted by anyone and only wanted to live for her mother and brother.

However, at that moment, she could no longer cut off the feelings of the ancient sect. Everyone, even those she had never seen before, could affect her heart at all times.

She treated the ancient sect as another home now. In her heart, these people did not differ from family. She will do anything for everyone in the ancient sect.

“Actually, everyone has been waiting for you all these years,” Yun Buyao said softly. “With Bai Zhou as the connection, we learned about the ancient sect’s situation through him. We were all waiting for the Sect Master to appear and gather everyone.”

“Most of the people are here now. After this matter is over, Ye Liushang will also come to the Sect Master’s side.”
