Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Jing Yan is Confused Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Jing Yan is Confused Hearing Ice Ruo’s words, Jing Yan’s expression changed instantly.

Vice Chancellor Fang Ruoyu wanted to see him?

Unconsciously, Jing Yan’s heart began racing “thud thud”!

Back in Donglin City, he had faced assassination attempts by the Dark Night Assassin, and it was Fang Ruoyu who had rescued him.

Not long ago, when he faced the destruction at the Dao Yi Academy’s Criminal Punishment Hall, it was Fang Ruoyu who had personally intervened and even publicly executed the Vice Hall Master Mu Xi.

However, Jing Yan could not forget the cold look in Fang Ruoyu’s eyes when she looked at him.

To say that this woman was warm toward him, Jing Yan absolutely didn’t believe it.

If it weren’t for Fang Ruoyu saving him twice, Jing Yan would definitely think that Fang Ruoyu harbored deep-seated hatred toward him.

Now, hearing from Ambassador Ice Ruo that Fang Ruoyu wanted to meet him, Jing Yan was understandably nervous.

“Ambassador Ice Ruo, why does Vice Chancellor Fang Ruoyu want to see me?” Jing Yan asked subconsciously.

“This…

I’m not very clear myself.

The Vice Chancellor just instructed me to have you come see her.

She didn’t tell me what it’s about,” Ice Ruo said apologetically, shaking her head.

“Oh…”

“I understand, I’ll go see the Vice Chancellor right away.” Jing Yan nodded.

Regardless, meeting with Fang Ruoyu was definitely necessary.

Jing Yan speculated that Fang Ruoyu probably bore no malice toward him.

His hesitation was mainly due to a sense of fear toward Fang Ruoyu in his heart, a sentiment that was difficult to articulate clearly.

“Jing Yan, then I’ll be leaving first!” Ice Ruo smiled.

With that said, he turned and left.

Ice Ruo’s attitude toward Jing Yan was very polite, which was primarily not because of Jing Yan’s relationship with Fang Ruoyu, but because of Jing Yan’s strong personal abilities.

Having witnessed Jing Yan kill the Dao Spirit Realm martial artist Qian Zhen, Ice Ruo wouldn’t underestimate Jing Yan just because he hadn’t entered the Dao Spirit Realm.

Jing Yan stood alone on the mountain peak for a while before also leaving, heading quickly toward the mountain where Fang Ruoyu resided.

After some time, Jing Yan reached the top of this mountain.

From a distance, he saw Fang Ruoyu in a white long dress.

At this moment, Fang Ruoyu was sitting cross-legged, her eyes slightly closed, resembling a fairy in a painting, making people feel unworthy.

Upon seeing Fang Ruoyu, Jing Yan immediately halted his steps, not daring to make a noise or call out.

He could only stand there quietly and wait.

Time gradually passed.

This wait lasted several hours.

Jing Yan was indeed getting anxious, but several times when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

He wondered, if Fang Ruoyu was cultivating, would disrupting her cultivate her anger, possibly leading her to annihilate him in a burst of fury like she had with the Gold Medal Assassin of Dark Night and Elder Mu Xi of Dao Yi Academy?

“Are you here?”

Just as Jing Yan was pondering whether he should also sit down and cultivate, a voice reached his ears.

Looking up slightly, Jing Yan saw that Fang Ruoyu had opened her eyes and was looking at him.

Her gaze still carried coldness, and even her voice seemed to emanate from the depths of an iceberg.

“Yes!” Jing Yan said, tensing his body slightly and bowing a little.

He felt that Fang Ruoyu must have known of his arrival early on.

From the moment he had climbed this mountain, Fang Ruoyu must have been aware of his presence.

“I’ll be leaving this place for a while, take care of yourself from now on,” Fang Ruoyu, looking toward the horizon of the sky, said inexplicably.

Jing Yan furrowed his brow; he didn’t really understand the meaning behind Fang Ruoyu’s words.

Double eyebrows called for leaving for a while, and take care of yourself from now on?

What exactly did that mean?

On the face of it, the sentence was indeed quite straightforward and easy to understand.

However, what confounded Jing Yan was that he was certain he had no relationship with Fang Ruoyu, so why did her statement sound like she had always been part of his life?

“The Dark Night Organization, I’ve investigated it.

Because of time constraints, I haven’t pinpointed its exact location yet.

However, I’ve confirmed that their headquarters are in the Jade City area.

Originally, I planned to eliminate this organization, but there’s no time now,” Fang Ruoyu continued talking.

Hearing this, Jing Yan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Fang Ruoyu had been investigating the Dark Night Organization?

The Dark Night Organization was extremely secretive, and very few people knew the location of its headquarters.

Except for some forces with a vastly extensive network, it’s generally hard for ordinary people to make direct contact with the Dark Night.

Jing Yan had always felt that Fang Ruoyu’s arrival in Donglin City while he was being pursued by a Dark Night Assassin was no coincidence.

Now, it was almost certain that Fang Ruoyu’s appearance was indeed no coincidence.

Moreover, Fang Ruoyu had personally investigated the Dark Night Organization and had already made significant progress, knowing that the headquarters of the Dark Night Organization were within the Jade City area.

Jade City, Jing Yan knew, was a major city within the Lanqu County Commandery, larger than Donglin City, though not as large as Lanqu County City.

“Vice Chancellor, you seem to know a lot about my affairs?” Unable to hold back any longer, Jing Yan asked.

From what Fang Ruoyu had said, Jing Yan believed that she must have been around him all the time.

However, Jing Yan had never known this, nor had he ever been aware of it.

“Yes, from the time when you were very young to now, over more than a decade, I’ve been watching over you,” Fang Ruoyu nodded, openly admitting it.

Jing Yan gasped, staring at Fang Ruoyu in disbelief.

“Your first advancement into the Innate Realm, joining the Divine Wind Academy, falling from the Realm, getting expelled from the Divine Wind Academy, unlocking the Qiankun Ring’s Seal, greatly advancing in realm, going to the Moonlight Forest, visiting Duyang City, and so forth.

I know all of these things,” Fang Ruoyu looked at Jing Yan and said slowly.

Jing Yan held his breath, his mind buzzing.

He knew that Fang Ruoyu’s words were absolutely true.

It was simply unimaginable.

Jing Yan had always thought that the Qiankun Ring was his biggest secret.

Apart from himself and Tianshui, no one else knew he had unlocked the Qiankun Ring’s Seal.

But now, he was truly frightened.

This Fang Ruoyu even knew about him unlocking the Qiankun Ring’s Seal.

Were there any events in his life that she didn’t know about?

“Exactly who are you?” After what seemed like a long time, Jing Yan fiercely exhaled and looked at Fang Ruoyu with a grim expression, asking in a low voice.

Anyone who found out that a person they had never known had been closely observing them their entire life would likely find it hard to calmly accept.

“Jing Yan, I can’t tell you my identity yet.

If your strength becomes strong enough in the future, you’ll know,” Fang Ruoyu shook her head, very straightforward.

What she could say, she would openly say.

What she couldn’t reveal, she openly told Jing Yan that she could not tell him.
