The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the Deputy General.

The Deputy General continued nonchalantly. “When your father led his army to battle together with the Green Nightmare Army, the Demon Clan was too sly, causing your father’s death. After that, we had also defeated the Demon Clan to avenge for your father. If General Ji still blames your father’s death on the Green Nightmare Army, we also have no choice.”

With the Deputy General continuing to speak, he slowly cleared the doubts that Lu Shaoqing had.

The reason for Ji Fengyan to be this hard on the Green Nightmare Army was all because of her father’s death.

But…

The Deputy General reasoned very well. Not only did he mention about the danger of being on the battlefield, he had also made it sound like the Green Nightmare Army had no responsibility for Ji Yun’s death. Instead, it appeared as though Ji Fengyan had been too insistent and was too narrow-minded.

The words that the Deputy General said caused a wave of whispers among the surrounding soldiers. It seemed like no other armies would dare to oppose the Green Nightmare Army and only Ji Fengyan had dared to do so.

Ji Fengyan looked at the Deputy General coldly as he inverted truth with lies. The grin on her face became even colder.

“I’m afraid that you’re mistaken,” suddenly, Ji Fengyan spoke.

The Deputy General was slightly taken aback.

Ji Fengyan lifted her chin slightly to look at the pathetic-looking vanguard coldly.

“The reason for killing him is that he had disobeyed the military rules. How has this have anything to do with my father? Unless… a soldier from the Green Nightmare Army is so important that you can be this casual in his punishment even if he had insulted a terminator? If that is the case, then I would really wish to ask Your Majesty personally if the Green Nightmare Army is really so great that even a terminator has to back away?”

What Ji Fengyan had said made the soldiers return to their senses.

The reason for the vanguard being punished was because he had insulted Ji Fengyan in front of everyone.

The terminator had an absolutely high status in the army. Besides a vanguard, even a Deputy General would receive a death sentence for insulting a terminator!

Ji Fengyan had a proper reason for killing him but everyone had been led into a strange way of thinking, as if they had subconsciously thought that anyone from the Green Nightmare Army could not be punished and had forgotten… with the military rule in place, whatever that Ji Fengyan had done was not inappropriate and was merely following it.

The Deputy General did not expect Ji Fengyan to be able to respond this quickly and did not fall into the trap he had placed. He had originally thought of making use of Ji Yun’s death to disrupt her train of thoughts so that he could turn the entire series of events into one that Ji Fengyan was abusing her authority.

He had never imagined that…

Ji Fengyan was even more cool headed than he had expected.

What was even worse was that Ji Fengyan had directly mentioned the Emperor. There is a rule in the military that anyone who insults the terminator would be executed. If the Deputy General had used this reasoning again, Ji Fengyan could directly report to the Emperor and accuse them of trying to undermine the Emperor.

Just the thought of this had already made the Deputy General feel numb in his head.

Instantly, he softened his tone and the corner of his lips jerked as he said, “You have been joking, General Ji. The Green Nightmare Army is the same as other armies, so how could it be said to receive special treatment?”

“Since there is no special treatment, is there any problem in me dealing with him according to military rules?” Ji Fengyan asked with her brows raised.

The Deputy General gritted his teeth secretly and could only say, “there is no problem.”

Then, he added on, “It’s just that… this vanguard is our general’s relative… if he were to die, it would upset the general.”
