Chapter 591: Chapter 181 Nan Batian: What? I’m the Villain? (10,000 Words for Monthly Pass)_6

Yelu’s eyes contained anger. If Nan Batian really did this, he would never let it go lightly.

And at this time, at the Fishing Guild Headquarters.

”What!”

Nan Batian stood up from his seat and said to Qin Ying, ”You failed, and you were discovered?”

Qin Ying said, ”Gang Leader, I am to blame.”

Nan Batian exploded in rage, ”To blame? I was nearly killed because of you, and you’re asking me to redeem you? Trash, you’re all trash!”

Hearing these words, Qin Ying clenched his teeth and bowed his head in silence.

Nan Batian roared, ”I’ve supported you for so many years, and you can’t even handle this little thing! How am I supposed to use you, what are you even good for!”

Qin Ying took the scolding without retort, his head lowered, but anger was evident in his eyes.

He was a respected Energy Transformation Master wherever he went, and now being insulted like a dog, could anyone be comfortable with that?

Qin Ying kept silent as Tang Ziyue, standing beside him, remained relatively calm and then spoke up, ”Gang Leader, now is not the time to blame Master Qin. What has happened has happened, and we unavoidably must think of a way to solve it.”

”Solve it, how?”

Nan Batian turned his gaze to Tang Ziyue, who frowned and said, ”I don’t know the contents of the secret letter. If there is a flaw in the content, we could argue a point or two. My fear is with the content itself!”

”How so?”

Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue, who continued, ”My fear is that the content is beyond dispute.”

Nan Batian said, ”Could there be such content that, even though I didn’t do it, Chen Jiusi could really pin the blame on me?”

Tang Ziyue replied, ”Chen Jiusi is not to be judged by common sense.”

Nan Batian frowned, feeling anxious, when Tang Ziyue suggested, ”Actually, there is a way to dispute it. If the letter is forged, it must have a flaw. We can ask Lord Yelu to find an expert in calligraphy analysis for comparison, which should reveal the flaw. Moreover, I am well versed in this and could confront them on this front.”

Nan Batian, upon hearing this, looked at Tang Ziyue and said, ”So, that is indeed a method; then I must entrust this to you, Mr. Tang.”

Tang Ziyue nodded, ”No need for thanks, Gang Leader.”

As they spoke, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and soon a Fishing Guild member said, ”Gang Leader, someone from Yelu Mansion has arrived, asking you to immediately go there for a meeting.”

Hearing this, Nan Batian furrowed his brow and said, ”They’ve come.”

Tang Ziyue said, ”Gang Leader, I’ll go with you.”

Listening to this, Nan Batian said, ”Good, Qin Ying, just stay at home and don’t wander around. Be careful not to fall into Chen Jiusi’s trap. As for your failure in this task, we will settle it after I return.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying immediately bowed his hands and said, ”Understood.”

As Nan Batian left, Qin Ying looked up at Nan Batian’s retreating figure, his eyes brimming with resentment.

I’ve been your loyal dog, enduring all hardships without complaint, and you still insult me so, treating me like an actual dog!

At that moment, Qin Bao, who was notorious for his straightforwardness, said, ”Eldest Brother, Nan Batian has gone too far. To humiliate you so publicly... He fails to see who else remains truly loyal to him in the Fishing Guild! He can’t distinguish the loyal from the treacherous, right from wrong!”

”Shut up!”

Qin Ying growled suddenly, and Qin Bao replied with a look of grievance, ”Am I wrong?”

Then Qin Bao also spoke up, ”Eldest Brother, Brother Two is not wrong. Even if we give our lives for Nan Batian, we’ll never earn a word of praise from him!”

Hearing this, Qin Ying narrowed his eyes and then said, ”Such talk is forbidden from now on.”

Qin Hu and Qin Bao exchanged glances. Has our big brother become addicted to being someone’s dog?

But in Qin Ying’s eyes, there was an indescribable meaning—addicted to being a dog, heh...

...

At White Tiger Hall, Si Xi hurried in from outside and, upon seeing Chen Jie leisurely playing Gomoku with Xiao Hu, he bowed and said, ”Hall Master, Advisor Qian from the government office entrance and several well-known calligraphy analysts from the city have all been summoned to Darugachi Mansion by Lord Yelu.”

Chen Jie looked up at Si Xi and said, ”Oh, isn’t that good? Si Xi, help out Hu Zi here, the poor guy is about to lose again.”

Si Xi, looking bewildered, said to Chen Jie, ”Hall Master, how can you not be in a hurry at all? Advisor Qian is extremely skilled in calligraphy analysis, and almost nobody can deceive his eyes with forgeries.”

”Besides, there’s Tang Ziyue. He is also a master in this field, and if they see the writing on the paper is fake, won’t all our planning be for nothing?”

Si Xi spoke anxiously, while Xiao Hu looked up and said, ”Brother Xi, should I make this move? Will it work?”

Si Xi replied, ”Hu Zi, place your stones wherever you’d like.”

”Hall Master, aren’t you worried at all?”

Si Xi looked at Chen Jie, who replied, ”Worried about what?”

Si Xi said, ”I wish I had slipped Advisor Qian and the others some money earlier so we wouldn’t be so passive now. If they spot the forgery at a glance, all our efforts would be wasted, wouldn’t they?”

”Who told you it was a forgery?”

Chen Jie looked at Si Xi with a smile, and Si Xi, confused, said, ”Hall Master, if it’s not a forgery, then did Nan Batian actually write it?”

Chen Jie smiled as he placed a piece on the board, ”Correct, Nan Batian wrote it!”

”Huh?”

Si Xi stood dumbfounded. Hall Master, what are you joking about? Why would Nan Batian write such a thing?

Yet Chen Jie pointed at the board smilingly and said, ”Hu Zi, you’ve lost again!”
