219: Are you really going to do this?

Star Empire, Imperial Capital.

As a leading figure of the Ancient Martial Arts Faction and a direct subordinate of He Ming, Jiang Zhenhai possessed Stellar Level 3 strength. With his outstanding abilities, he was appointed as the Director of the Inspectorate by Wan Xingying.

The Inspectorate was similar to the disciplinary committee of Blue Star, wielding immense power.

His Terminal suddenly rang with a familiar notification sound.

Hmm!

Jiang Zhenhai quickly picked up his Terminal and opened the message.

[Manage the Blue Star Ancient Martial Arts Faction well; tell those below to show some restraint.]

This single sentence immediately caused a layer of fine, cold sweat to break out on Jiang Zhenhai's forehead.

"Ah Fu!"

Ah Fu, who was waiting nearby, stepped forward quickly.

"Master."

"Has anything noteworthy happened recently?"

"Qian Dong, the direct grandson of the Qian Family, died unexpectedly a few days ago."

Jiang Zhenhai quickly picked up his Terminal, found Qian Jinming's name, and dialed.

Before long, the call was connected.

Amidst the flickering light and shadow, Qian Jinming's virtual image was projected.

"How did your grandson die?"

Qian Jinming was stunned and instinctively replied, "His skull was pierced by a high-energy laser beam. I suspect the military did it."

Jiang Zhenhai immediately realized the crux of the problem.

It was impossible for the military to move against the Qian Family. After all, the Blue Star Ancient Martial Arts Faction was closely linked to Xinghai, and Xinghai was now the hidden will behind the Star Empire.

The Human Emperor was the fiancé of Wan Xingying, the ruler of the Star Tide Empire.

Since the military had no reason to act against the Qian Family, combined with the warning message, Jiang Zhenhai immediately had a general judgment in his heart.

The person who acted was very likely the Human Emperor himself.

"What exactly did your Qian Family do to attract the attention of His Majesty the Human Emperor?"

Qian Jinming's virtual image was visibly stunned, his eyes blinking rapidly and uncontrollably.

"His Majesty the Human Emperor?"

Jiang Zhenhai said in a heavy voice, "You'd better explain this clearly..."

Qian Jinming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and recounted the events he had investigated in detail.

Upon hearing the narrative, Jiang Zhenhai lowered his head and thought deeply.

"This matter ends here."

"Also, tell your Qian Family members to show some restraint."

"Old Jiang, what exactly is going on? Why would you say His Majesty the Human Emperor is paying attention to our Qian Family?"

"His Majesty the Human Emperor warned me to manage the Ancient Martial Arts Faction on Blue Star well. Think about it yourself; if there's a next time, the good days of your Qian Family will be over."

After saying this, Jiang Zhenhai hung up.

He then dialed the communications of several other families in succession and gave them a stern warning.

"Master, why would His Majesty the Human Emperor suddenly pay attention to a low-level Planetary Level Instructor?"

Jiang Zhenhai sighed. Although he had a faint guess in his heart, he didn't dare to dwell on it too much.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, and don't even think about them."

Ah Fu quickly lowered his head.

"What Master says is correct."

Luol Star System, Central Province, Southern District.

Martial Arts Academy.

Yan Yaya stood on the Martial Arts Arena, looking at the hundreds of freshmen in her class, feeling a bit distracted.

"Teacher, people from the Inspection Team say they want to see you."

Yan Yaya looked up.

"What?"

The class monitor pointed at five people in Inspection Team uniforms standing outside the arena and said, "Over there, the Inspection Team people said they were looking for you."

Yan Yaya was puzzled.

She had thought the Patrol Council would come to investigate her.

But why was it the Inspection Team?

The Inspection Team was a mountain pressing down on the heads of all administrative departments. Her matter shouldn't be considered a disciplinary violation... She nodded and quickly ran out of the arena.

The leader of the Inspection Team was none other than Jiang Yue.

The direct daughter of the Jiang Family, daughter of the Director of the Inspectorate, and younger sister of the Deputy Director.

With the Jiang Family's power, she could have directly taken a high-ranking position, but Jiang Yue chose to start from the grassroots and climb up step by step with her own abilities.

Regarding his daughter's choice, Jiang Zhenhai expressed respect and was willing to let her gain more experience at the grassroots level.

This time, she was personally dispatched by Jiang Zhenhai to suppress the incident of the unexpected death of the Qian Family's direct grandson.

Yan Yaya bowed her head in greeting.

"Hello."

Jiang Yue stepped forward to support Yan Yaya and smiled, "Don't be nervous. We came to see you just to learn about Qian Dong's situation."

Yan Yaya hesitated for a moment, but facing the Inspection Team, she didn't dare to hide anything and immediately poured out everything that had happened.

"So that's how it is. That brat Qian Dong didn't die unjustly."

"Don't worry, the Qian Family won't trouble you over this. On the contrary, they will secretly send more people to protect you."

Yan Yaya's heart skipped a beat, not understanding why.

"Because, if something happens to you, the Qian Family will surely suffer along with you."

Jiang Yue smiled sweetly, changed the subject, and continued half-jokingly, "I'm curious, why do you know that great person?"

Yan Yaya's eyes widened slightly.

That great person!

Is it that great person?

"Who are you referring to?"

Jiang Yue patted Yan Yaya's shoulder and nodded, "It's the great person you're thinking of."

She guided Yan Yaya to sit down in the pavilion.

Yan Yaya recalled the scene when she first met He Ming, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She briefly recounted the course of events.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue understood.

"So that's how it is. I really envy you!"

Yan Yaya's face turned red, and she said hurriedly, "No, not at all!"

Jiang Yue stood up and waved to Yan Yaya, "Alright, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now. I'll come and see you again another day."

Yan Yaya quickly stood up to see her off.

In the distance.

At the top floor of the Martial Arts Academy.

Qian Jiang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly in Yan Yaya's direction.

"It's this damned bitch who killed my brother!"

Beside him, a middle-aged man stepped forward and slapped Qian Jiang on the side of his face, knocking him to the ground.

This slap was solid. Qian Jiang felt his head swimming, his vision darkening, and his body swaying. It took him a while to gradually recover his sight.

His right cheek became swollen, leaving a bright red handprint and causing internal bleeding.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing!?"

Qian Jiang's eyes seemed to spit fire as he looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief.

The middle-aged man's expression was indifferent as he looked coldly at Qian Jiang.

"Letting you calm down."

Qian Jiang suddenly stood up and roared, "How can I calm down?"

"My brother is dead; I have to avenge him!"

The middle-aged man grabbed Qian Jiang's collar and lifted him into the air.

"You really want to do this?"

Qian Jiang glared at the middle-aged man and gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

"Then I'll have to send you on your way early."

Qian Jiang grabbed the middle-aged man's arm with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free in the slightest.

Until he was almost out of breath, his face turning purple-red and his eyes rolling back, only then did the middle-aged man let go.

"Listen well. From now on, pull back your claws and be more polite to people."

"We've arranged people around Yan Yaya. If anyone is found acting against her without permission, no matter who it is, they will die. Do you understand?"

Qian Jiang clutched his throat and coughed violently. He couldn't understand why his second uncle, who usually treated him like his own son, would suddenly strike him so hard.

And why would the Qian Family protect the woman who killed his brother?
