Upon his words, not only was Ao Cheng almost popping his eyes out, even Ao Cangtian squinted, staring at Jiang Xiaobai intensively.

“Jiang Xiaobai, I warn you, don’t stir up trouble!”

Ao Cheng shouted once he recovered, “Ao Cangtian is a criminal of our dragon clan; he can’t be allowed to leave!”

“I know you, always scheming. You can conspire whatever you want, but if you’re scheming him, we’ll be at odds!”

Ao Cheng was quite earnest.

After all, Ao Cangtian’s deeds were unforgivable.

Ao Cangtian seemed intrigued, “Kid, even though I don’t know why you’re so confident, let me tell you this, don’t be too ambitious if you can’t handle it.”

“Even if you let me go, I won’t leave.”

Jiang Xiaobai found himself in a situation where he was both crying and laughing.

He had this sense that Ao Cangtian misunderstood his intentions, and this made him all the more confident in his hypothesis.

“Elder, Ao Cheng, don’t rush it.”

“Can’t we?”

Ao Cheng quickly spoke, “You’re about to ruin the dragon clan, shouldn’t I be anxious? If it hadn’t been for your earlier reliability, I would have had you killed!”

“Cough cough, calm down, hear me out.”

Jiang Xiaobai made a dry cough, ignoring Ao Cheng and turned his gaze to Ao Cangtian.

“Elder, I only have one question, were you framed back then?” As he asked this, Jiang Xiaobai was grave.

At that instant, the air in the prison cell seemed to freeze.

Ao Cangtian stood stunned, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with mixed emotions.

Ao Cheng, caught off guard, burst into laughter afterward.

“Stop joking, Jiang Xiaobai, this old man was busted red-handed and didn’t even have a chance to escape.”

Ao Cheng sneered, “Although I don’t know the specifics, I do know something. Everyone witnessed it, how could he possibly be framed?” Nevertheless, no one was listening to Ao Cheng.

“Why would you ask that?” Ao Cangtian raised an eyebrow.

“It’s simple, I feel that you don’t have any malice towards us.”

Jiang Xiaobai calmly spoke, “If a rebel who has been imprisoned for a hundred years meets his enemy, he would have been extremely resentful. Even though you were chained, it would still be easy for you to kill us.”

“This is also why we were locked up in this cell.”

“However, you didn’t kill us and your previous actions and words make me feel that you’re filled with guilt towards Ao Yan and the dragon clan. So, are you staying here, enduring the torture willingly, just to pacify your conscience, am “Especially just now, you misunderstood my intentions.”

Jiang Xiaobai smirked, “That’s why I asked you. Even if you betrayed the dragon clan back then, there must be more to the story.”

Ao Cangtian looked at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief, as if looking at a monster.

His eyes expressed deeper complexity.

“Your words make sense,” Ao Cangtian laughed after a long while.

Then all was quiet.

He neither admitted nor denied anything.

“What’s the point of talking to a traitor?”

Ao Cheng smirked, “Jiang Xiaobai, you’re not going to tell me that your way out lies with this old devil, are you?”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

Ao Cheng became so furious that he wanted to act out but Jiang Xiaobai calmed him down.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Ao Cangtian, feeling troubled.

He didn’t know what was in Ao Cangtian’s mind, but it seemed like there was a high chance that he was framed back then.

However, this old man was just too difficult to crack.

Wouldn’t someone who has been wrongly accused for so many years yearn to clear their name?

If not, there must be deep resentment.

Yet Jiang Xiaobai didn’t notice such feelings from Ao Cangtian.

“Did I get it wrong?”

“He wasn’t framed but is actually a cunning old fox?”

Jiang Xiaobai felt troubled.

What gave him some hope was that Ao Cangtian genuinely misunderstood him.

He wanted to let Ao Cangtian out, aiming to use him to deal with the threat from the ancient tribe.

However, Ao Cangtian likely thought that he wanted to exploit his grudge against the dragon clan and help him overthrow it.

Well, more or less.

“Forget it, let’s not think about this. The priority now is to get out!”

Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself.

He then lifted his head and looked at Ao Cheng.

“What are you staring at? Watch what you’re thinking!” Ao Cheng looked puzzled.

“You were just stirring things up, keep it up, bring those people to me and I can get out!” Jiang Xiaobai spoke.

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely sure.”

“Alright then, I believe you!”

Ao Cheng rose to his feet. He trusted Jiang Xiaobai greatly. After all, Jiang Xiaobai had helped him a lot recently.

Then Ao Cheng started to kick up a fuss.

Throwing punches, kicking, swearing.

He almost cursed down the ancestry of the guys outside, but there was still no response.

“What is Ao Zhantian thinking about, he can’t just want to lock us up, can he?” Ao Cheng was panting hard, sweating profusely.

Jiang Xiaobai simply shook his head, “Impossible, he must have his own plan, and it’s definitely about killing me.”

“probably just wants to humiliate me first.”

No matter how much Ao Cheng struggled, there was no response from the other party, which was quite maddening.

Jiang Xiaobai would never allow his opponents to strike first. Once Ao Zhantian appeared, it would mean that his days were numbered.

After much thought, Jiang Xiaobai could only turn to Ao Cangtian.

“Don’t look at me, I’m not going to help you.”

Ao Cangtian smirked, “You are indeed smart, knowing to coax Ao Cheng, this idiot, but I’m not a fool.

“Sometimes, being too smart is a fool,” Jiang Xiaobai said coldly.

This old man, he just overcomplicates things.

“What did you say!”

Ao Cangtian let out a cold hum, once again the cell was filled with an unbearable rumble as if planning to crush Jiang Xiaobai into pieces. Jiang Xiaobai could hardly bear such magnitude, yet he gritted his teeth and endured it.

“Elder, I’m not what you think, I’m just an ordinary man.” “I was dragged into this mess for no reason, that’s not my fault!”

“I just want to survive, did I do something wrong!”

Upon hearing this, Ao Cangtian slowly withdrew his power.

He watched Jiang Xiaobai for a long time, finally, he broke the silence.

“First, tell me what you want me to do.”

“It’s simple. I know that elder’s power isn’t sealed. All you need to do now is to circulate your energy wildly and pretend like you want to break out!”

Jiang Xiaobai quickly explained..
