Breaking Off The Engagement (4)
Soon after…
Hao Bilian did not manage to get a word in. In a flash, Bai Ye appeared like a demon before Qing Xuantian’s personal bodyguard.
The man was shocked by her appearance.
Qing Xuantian—who had the quickest reflex—spun around. “Little Ye?” He was too slow.
Like an eagle who found its prey, Bai Ye casually tossed the bodyguard toward Mu Yunzhan.
Mu Yunzhan could not wrap his mind around what was happening and almost thought it was a secret attack against him.
Everything happened too fast. Mu Yunzhan had a feeling he could not keep up with Lady Bai.
Speaking of which…
What was she up to?
Why did she toss a Qingyun guard at him?
No one was sure what was going on—Ji Fu and the crowd were equally dumbstruck. What was the young girl trying to do?
“Little Ye…” Even the calculative Qing Xuantian had no idea what Bai Ye meant to do.
“Young Master Qing, you said our love stretches back into our childhood?” Bai Ye fielded the question with a faint smile on her face.
Qing Xuantian did not see the point of the question but he nodded.
Bai Ye let out a chuckle. “Right then, let us ask your personal bodyguard.”
Qing Xuantian’s eyes twitched. In an icy tone, he said, “Little Ye, that’s enough. We can settle our problems at home, there’s no need to make a scene. Uncle…”
Although he had no clue what stunt Bai Ye was pulling, he knew it would not mean well for him.
Yun Suqian, who had been unhelpful to Qing Xuantian thus far, immediately summoned the guards. “Guards, take this lady back home!”
The sound of a few hundred city guards storming the assessment hall could be heard.
Bai Ye also saw Hong Qiguan—the man she faced five days ago. Alongside him were three other Mystic Warriors, leading squads of city guards.
“Master Mu, as you’ve said, my governance of Tong City has been disappointing. My inpetence has even extended to my family matters. When this is settled, I will willingly submit my resignation letter to the Ministry of Civil Appointments,” Yun Suqian said as he gestured to the Tong City guards.
Mu Yunzhan frowned.
“Brother Mu, do not involve yourself in this, else you bring trouble to Master Qin,” Qing Xuantian gave Mu Yunzhan a mental nudge as he advised.
At the same moment, the Tong City guards led by Hong Qiguan were ushering the honorary guests to leave. More guards were piling into the room.
The ruckus of the inner assessment hall was soon replaced by fearful silence.
As the guards surrounded the area, the atmosphere within the hall became more oppressive. It was the culmination of Qing Xuantian’s master plan.
The sob story and the misdirection of the public… It was all to ensure Qin Ban could not e after him.
Qing Xuantian wanted to use the Tong City guards to stake his claim on Bai Ye and bring her back to the Qingyun estate.
