Although he arrived a bit late and missed the conflict between Han Yan and Jiang Qiling, just by observing the tense atmosphere, he had already guessed a bit about the situation. He initially wanted to downplay Han Yan's strength, instigate Jiang Qiling with a few remarks, and then avenge himself through her hand.
However, he dared not.
If Jiang Qiling could truly defeat Han Yan, it would be fine. But if she turned out not to be a match for Han Yan, and later found out he was behind the scheme, he could not withstand Jiang Qiling's wrath given his current status.
"So, you are the top candidate in this year's enrollment selection. No wonder you have this confidence. I underestimated you. But, seeing that you are safeguarding Anyun's honor and also serving the country, I will let you off this time." After hearing Qiu Zizhong's words, Jiang Qiling gave Han Yan a deep look and said quietly.
Then, she took Qiu Zizhong and the two young swordsmen and left briskly.
