Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 369: Let Her Go

Nian Jian was also startled.

She subconsciously stood up, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked towards Yun Ji. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She didn’t know why, but Yun Ji’s words just now were too enticing.

She looked towards the person at the door, a high-ranking manager of the factory.

"Manager Qi."

Nian Jian spoke.

"Manager Qi..."

Yun Ji, however, stood up somewhat skeptically.

Manager Qi was just a card manager at the factory, an A-Level Spirit Card Master.

Usually, he was kind-hearted.

But today, Manager Qi seemed overwhelmingly oppressive.

And just now...

Yun Ji clenched her teeth secretly, her hand quietly moved behind her back.

Wen Jiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Nian Jian and Yun Ji, asking, "Why, did I just hear that you plan to go abroad for a vacation during the holidays?"

"No, it wasn’t me."

She had no intention of going out.

Yun Ji pressed her lips; intuitively, today’s Manager Li seemed different,

the usual Manager Li was courteous and polite, definitely not as cold and imposing as today.

Yun Ji looked at Wen Jiang and subtly retreated.

This woman’s earlier suppression of her indicated that she sensed her use of spiritual power.

Most A-Level Spirit Card Masters cannot use Spirit Fusion abilities, nor are they permitted to use them against civilians.

Manager Li interrupting her spiritual power without using cards was not a good sign.

Yun Ji’s peripheral vision slowly shifted to Nian Jian beside her.

Her small actions were completely caught in Wen Jiang’s eyes, who smiled and said, "I didn’t know an A-Level Spirit Card Master could stoop so low to work as a regular illustrator at our Card Factory."

Yun Ji’s face drastically changed.

She turned swiftly, intending to grab Nian Jian.

But before her hand could reach Nian Jian, she suddenly felt as if she couldn’t breathe.

Then, her entire body felt light, as if she was lifted by someone grabbing her throat in mid-air.

"Uh—"

This sudden action gave Nian Jian a big fright.

She exclaimed "Ah," feeling extremely bewildered.

Wen Jiang stepped into the dormitory.

With hands behind his back, he looked at the scene in amusement.

"Who might you be?"

Nian Jian looked at this scene in horror, and as Wen Jiang entered, she couldn’t control herself, collapsing onto the chair.

Because she was scared.

Having no spiritual power at all, she was just an ordinary person.

Encountering such a Spirit Card Master was frightening.

And she always felt that the aura emitted by Manager Li was too similar to Wen Jiang’s.

But clearly, they were two completely different people!

"You... who are you..."

Yun Ji looked painfully at Wen Jiang before her.

She was terrified.

She had no idea how Wen Jiang acted.

This couldn’t be the Spirit Fusion ability; she didn’t feel any spiritual power fluctuations from the other.

She wasn’t Manager Li.

"You should answer my question first." Wen Jiang smiled slightly, "Who are you?"

Yun Ji stared at her.

Perhaps she knew there was no escape.

Her face changed slightly, painfully saying, "My name, you... you are not worthy to know..."

Just a lowly Yunxia person,

How could she be qualified to know who she was?

The one she was loyal to was a figure she could only look up to and not reach.

"I’m not worthy?" Wen Jiang seemed not angry, still smiling, "Because you’re loyal to the Celestial Maiden?"

These words made Yun Ji’s face drastically change.

She.

How could she possibly know!

How many people in the world know about the Celestial Maiden?

Not that they can’t, but they aren’t worthy!

Seeing Yun Ji’s expression, Wen Jiang knew her guess was correct.

Being meticulous enough to approach Nian Jian, no one knew about her relationship with Nian Jian.

Only one thing.

That is, she is Yu Jian’s daughter, and Yu Jian had started to take an interest in this daughter.

So, she sent someone to get close to her.

"Who... who are you really!"

Yun Ji’s expression grew more painful; many did not know the Celestial Maiden’s identity.

How could a manager from Yunxia’s Card Factory possibly know about the Celestial Maiden?

"Just as you said, who am I." Wen Jiang leaned closer to her: "Are you worthy to know?"

Yun Ji’s pupils dilated.

But Wen Jiang did not kill her.

She just moved gently, allowing a burst of spiritual energy onto Yun Ji’s body.

Yun Ji suddenly felt her body relaxed, thinking she found a flaw.

Immediately, she took out a card, disregarding the danger of using cards in the Imperial City, with a strange smile.

"I’ll remember you."

Strong energy was released.

Yun Ji’s image gradually became blurry.

She almost wanted to see the panic-stricken look on Manager Li’s face when she escaped.

But she only saw the girl still casually looking at her, even after she disappeared, without any visible change.

?

In doubt, Yun Ji’s body disappeared.

And after she disappeared, the card she summoned didn’t demonstrate any intimidation, just pressed down by Wen Jiang with a finger.

It didn’t cause any waves in the Imperial City, nor did it trigger any alarms.

[Ding, a system item detected, would you like to retrieve it?]

Sure enough, it was a system item.

Wen Jiang chose to retrieve it.

Zero Egg was a bit surprised: [How did you know she was Yu Jian’s person?]

Wen Jiang chuckled: [Who else would specifically target an illustrator, it seems Yu Jian still finds it easy to look for this daughter when she wants.]

Nian Jian looked at this scene in horror and alarm.

Yun Ji had disappeared.

"Manager, Manager Li..."

She trembled, looking towards Wen Jiang.

Wen Jiang directly reverted to his original appearance, "It’s me."

Nian Jian’s eyes widened.

Indeed!

She just felt the aura was too familiar.

It turned out it really was Wen Jiang.

"Who... who was she? Why did she approach me?"

Yun Ji’s earlier actions were already abnormal, Nian Jian wasn’t foolish, she noticed the issue.

"An enemy’s person."

Due to some factors, Wen Jiang did not tell Nian Jian that Yu Jian was her mother.

Upon hearing it was the enemy, Nian Jian indeed didn’t concern herself further, merely puzzled: "Why would she look for me, even wanting to incite me to go abroad?"

"If you went abroad, I couldn’t protect you anymore."

Of course, that was before, now she had already marked Nian Jian.

If danger arose, she could detect it immediately.

Also, it served as a reserve.

Nian Jian shrank a bit: "They perceived that I have a relationship with you, intending to use me to threaten you?"

What virtue could she possibly have?

Wen Jiang shook his head: "You don’t need to think about these things now, nothing will happen in the future, I’ll have others by your side, hmm, until things are resolved, it’s best for you not to interact with other people from the Card Factory. I know this might seem unfair to you."

"No, not at all..." Nian Jian gathered her courage: "I know you’re protecting me."

She understood gratitude.

She already had far more freedom than before now.

Otherwise, she might have already died.

From childhood until now, she was just a tool.

A tool does not hope for a brilliant life, being free right now was enough for her to feel grateful.

Wen Jiang paused subtly.

After a while, he said ’oh’ expressionlessly.
