The male protagonist felt the burning pain on his face, took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and solemnly said, "Donor Su, Donor Zhao is the Crown Prince, the heir to the Great Xia Dynasty. You must not disrespect your superior; this is a grave offense!"
Su Qianqian’s expression changed again.
She looked at the male protagonist incredulously, tears brimming in her apricot eyes as she yelled, "You’re yelling at ? You’re actually yelling at because of him? Didn’t you see how he just humiliated ?"
The male protagonist’s face darkened, and he suddenly felt overwheld.
Zhao Yi could see it.
His patience was nearing its limit.
The male protagonist took a deep breath, took half a step back, and avoided Su Qianqian’s reaching hand.
He said in a deep voice, "Donor Su, please respect yourself; the Crown Prince must not be lightly insulted!"
Su Qianqian’s chest heaved violently, clearly infuriated.
She wanted to retaliate, but seeing the slap mark on the male protagonist’s face, she swallowed her words.
Su Qianqian couldn’t bear to hurt the male protagonist further, but she wasn’t so courteous to Zhao Yi.
She turned her head, glared viciously at Zhao Yi, and spoke with resentnt and impatience.
"Zhao Yi, I’ve already said I don’t like you. What will it take for you to leave alone?"
Hmm?
What would it take to leave her alone?
Zhao Yi looked at her puzzled, and asked strangely, "What nonsense are you spouting? What did I do to you?"
Zhao Yi was perplexed.
Had Su Qianqian forgotten that he had just pinned her down and hit her?
Su Qianqian’s face was cold, as she said angrily, "Don’t think that just because you’ve chased to the Heaven-Facing Sect, I will go back with you! I’ve already broken off the engagent; there’s no possibility between us, not in this lifeti!"
Zhao Yi: "..."
He suddenly understood the male protagonist’s feelings.
This woman could really leave one speechless!
Zhao Yi shook his head, "The Heaven-Facing Sect is gone. My n wiped out all those remnants. You can go out now and collect their bodies."
Su Qianqian didn’t believe it at all, "How is that possible? The sect master is a Tier Nine Saint King Realm elder; how could anyone kill him?"
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you talking about that old cripple with a cane? He’s indeed not dead!"
Hearing this, Su Qianqian’s expression lightened.
She didn’t even have ti to relax when Zhao Yi continued,
"That old guy got kicked by a wild donkey and was laid wasted. Otherwise, how do you think we got in?"
Su Qianqian’s smile just appeared and then imdiately froze.
She didn’t trust Zhao Yi and turned to look at the male protagonist.
Su Qianqian anxiously asked, "Brother Fajing, is what he said true? Did you see the elder?"
The male protagonist’s mouth twitched.
He glanced at Zhao Yi but still nodded, "Amitabha. Donor Su, the people outside are indeed all dead."
He paused here, "Is the elder you ntioned the elder with the cane?"
Su Qianqian nodded repeatedly, "That’s right, that’s our sect’s elder, how is he?"
The male protagonist shook his head, "It didn’t look good; his chest was caved in, seed like he got kicked by sothing. When I saw him from a distance, he was being dragged out of the valley by the Imperial Guard."
Hearing these words, Su Qianqian’s body shook violently, her face ashen.
"How could this be?"
She seed lost, her face full of disbelief.
To secure her position as the Saintess, Su Qianqian had almost emptied her family’s resources.
She didn’t even spare her mother’s dowry.
Yet she didn’t have a chance to warm the seat of the Saintess before it was all gone.
The Heaven-Facing Sect was gone!
Su Qianqian’s mind was blank, clueless about what to do next.
Suddenly.
She abruptly looked up and glared at Zhao Yi, gritting her teeth.
"Zhao Yi, do you think you’ll break by destroying the Heaven-Facing Sect? Dream on! I’d rather die than submit to you!"
Oh?
Zhao Yi looked at Su Qianqian as if she were a lunatic.
Puxin won are truly off-putting!
He looked at Su Qianqian, shaking his head and sighing, "Su Changyuan is considered a smart man; how did he end up raising such a dumb daughter like you?"
After Zhao Yi finished, a look of suspicion suddenly crossed his face.
He looked at Su Qianqian, questioning, "I never thought about it before, but how did soone with your pig brain beco the number one talented woman in Shengjing City? Those famous essays of yours, they weren’t secretly written by Su Changyuan, were they?"
Upon saying that, Zhao Yi shook his head again, "Su Changyuan is a wise man; he wouldn’t do the stupid thing of lifting a stone to only drop it on his own foot. He clearly knows soone as foolish as you, with too much fa, would only bring disaster to the family!"
At this point, Zhao Yi exclaid in surprise, "So those essays were actually written by you? It doesn’t make sense; how could soone as dimwitted as you write such eloquent articles?"
Seeing Zhao Yi rcilessly insult her in front of her face, Su Qianqian trembled with rage.
Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Yi raised his hand to interrupt her.
Zhao Yi said indifferently, "I know you’re anxious, but hold on."
"Although I don’t want to waste breath with you, there are so things I think should be made clear. So you won’t harbor any illusions, repeatedly nauseating ."
Zhao Yi spoke seriously, "First, I didn’t co looking for you. If I didn’t happen upon you, I wouldn’t even know you’re here. I ca here this ti to hunt the remaining mbers of the Heaven-Facing Sect, those so-called sect mbers outside."
"Second, whether you really didn’t know or just pretended not to, the Heaven-Facing Sect is a rebellious faction conspiring against the crown. Your collusion with the Heaven-Facing Sect and your role as their Saintess is a capital cri punishable by death for all nine generations of your family!"
"Finally, the Imperial Clan Court has already issued a bounty, and your parents’ entire clan is on the list!"
Su Qianqian’s face was deathly pale, and she muttered soullessly, "Impossible! No one knows I’m in the Heaven-Facing Sect except my father!"
