Chapter 1170: Chapter 1169: The Governor’s Wrath

What about the Governor, does he have any suspicion?" Yanran reminded from the side.

Very likely, those skilled fighters mixed in among the thugs could also be his subordinates, but right now, there’s no concrete evidence pointing to him." Jiang Cheng said.

As for the Governor, I think the problem lies with his lover," Yanran pondered: "According to the observers that day, that kind of woman, proud and arrogant, she might hold a grudge about what Ba Lv had to say about her, and those skilled fighters might very well be related to her."

Ba Lv nodded in agreement, her impression of the Governor’s lover was also very bad: "Exactly, even though the Governor is a spoiled rich kid, I noticed after the teacher scolded him, he became very well-behaved; even when his guards arrived at the inn later, he didn’t think about revenge.

Ba Lv took a sip of water and continued: "I think, on one hand, with his status, it would look bad to have conflict with us; on the other hand, after the teacher reprimanded him, he fears the teacher, after all, he’s also a martial artist, and with one move from the teacher, he knew how big the gap between him and you was.

Jiang Cheng summarized: "The current situation is, first, there’s definitely a connection between the thugs on Bordeaux and Ba Lv’s attack; second, those skilled fighters mixed among the thugs, they could have been bribed, or they could be people close to the Governor.

Of course, because there’s no evidence for the second point, we can’t let the bad guys get away or wrongly accuse innocent people, so we need to think long term.

The Flaming Firebird, carried by Yanran, finally found Ba Lv; when Ba Lv was facing a group of enemies and struggling to hold on, Yanran arrived in time to save her.

Back at the inn, Jiang Cheng had already sensed something was wrong from the sound of their footsteps as they came upstairs, so he was waiting at the door for them.

Sure enough, Ba Lv was being supported by Yanran as they came in.

Jiang Cheng was very concerned about Ba Lv’s condition, and when he knew his female student wasn’t hurt and was merely exhausted, he finally felt relieved.

Ba Lv recounted her encounter that night to Jiang Cheng and Yanran, and the conclusion they reached was: first, there’s definitely a connection between the thugs on Bordeaux and Ba Lv’s attack;

second, the identity of those skilled fighters mixed among the thugs is still uncertain for now, but it can be confirmed that they might be hired by those thug leaders, after all, the upcoming combat tournament on Bordeaux has attracted many aliens here, most of whom came to participate in the tournament.

It’s also possible that those skilled fighters are subordinates of the Lord Governor; even if this has nothing to do with the Governor—which is highly unlikely—then his formidable lover must be involved.

Yanran and Ba Lv, as women, didn’t have a good impression of the Governor’s lover at all, and they believed she played a key role in this matter.

What should they do next? The two girls looked at their teacher.

Jiang Cheng took out a piece of information that the innkeeper had sent and said to Ruoran: "This is information about the combat tournament provided by the innkeeper shortly after you left.

Yanran and Ba Lv leaned in to look; it was just a few simple sentences, but they didn’t understand what was wrong with it.

So, they again looked at Jiang Cheng with questioning eyes.

The location of the combat tournament has moved to a satellite, and that satellite is precisely under the jurisdiction of Lord Governor. With the tournament only a few days away, don’t you find this change suspicious?"

Jiang Cheng asked his two students.

Perhaps something went wrong on Bordeaux, or maybe the satellite is a better place for such a tournament?" Ba Lv analyzed, but from her tone, she wasn’t very sure either.

Until the truth is revealed, every possibility is normal." Jiang Cheng said this, and then said nothing more.

After a while, Jiang Cheng murmured to himself: "The fact that they could determine in such a short time that we would participate in the tournament is indeed not simple.

Teacher, who are ’they’ that you’re referring to?" Ba Lv asked Jiang Cheng.

"Exactly," Jiang Cheng smiled: "By ’they’, I mean the Governor and his lover, and perhaps even those thug leaders.

Yanran and Ba Lv still didn’t understand.

Jiang Cheng explained the current situation to them.

The attack on Ba Lv tonight and the sudden change in venue for the upcoming combat tournament are connected; it’s definitely not just a whimsical idea from someone on the planet Bordeaux.

The key point is, among those who want to strike against Jiang Cheng and his group, someone actually knew they would participate in the tournament, and this judgment is quite accurate.

With this in mind, as long as they want to participate in the tournament, no matter where it is held, they will certainly join in.

And now, since the venue has moved to the planet governed by the Governor, they have no choice but to go there.

Though the Governor has high status, Bordeaux ultimately isn’t his territory, making it inconvenient for him to act here as he wishes.

However, once they reach his territory, he can act freely.

This explains why the tournament’s location changed so suddenly.

All these sudden events are almost entirely targeted at them.

Jiang Cheng said this while looking at Ruoran and Ba Lv: "Now you must be careful, you can no longer act recklessly when going out, understand?"

Yanran and Ba Lv nodded, listening to their teacher’s words not only didn’t make them fearful, but rather eager to try.

Ba Lv gritted her teeth and said: "Those guys were so smug tonight; when I encounter them again, they will no longer have the last laugh!

Yanran reminded her from the side: "Always remember to carry your dagger; if you had it tonight, it wouldn’t have been you who was left in a sorry state, but those enemies instead.

"Ah, what do you mean by that?" Ba Lv said to Yanran, not letting it go.

It’s getting late, you two have been busy for so long, go and rest." Jiang Cheng interrupted the banter between the two.

Almost simultaneously.

"Have you gone mad!" the Lord Governor shouted at his lover: "You moved my guards without my permission, and seven of them even died! Explain to me what happened!"

"Darling, only seven died, it’s no big deal; as for why I moved your guards, of course, I needed them to do something for me." The Governor’s lover said dismissively.

In her eyes, the Governor’s anger seemed ridiculous, and she didn’t take it to heart at all. She even poured a glass of wine and handed it to the Lord Governor: "Darling, don’t be angry, come, have a drink.
