Chapter 173

“Oh, no authority? Law-abiding?” He laughed coldly. “Here, I am the authority. I am the law.” If Si YuFan wanted two people to die, it was too simple a task.

XunMi smiled while watching her husband completely change his demeanor. It was so exciting. Her adorably slow husband also had a hidden dominant side. How cute.

“That’s right. I forgot something. Yi Ling, are you going to give back the things that were legally mine that you took from me? Or should we talk about this in the military court? After all, that would be most appropriate with our identities.” XunMi happily added more frost to the cold air with her words. A diplomat that potentially was going to be promoted to minister and two daughters of marshals. It was most appropriate to go to military court.

Yi Ling could no longer maintain his face of calmness. He had taken a lot of money. Even though he could afford to give that much money now, no one would be willing to give up something that they had always considered theirs.

Yu LingXi was even more unwilling. Nian XunMi was the loser in their fight. Why was she pretending to be the winner here? Why was she the center of everyone’s attention? Why? She was Yu family’s daughter.

“Nian XunMi, don’t go overboard. It was you who gave money and resources to Ling ge on your own. Now that Ling ge is successful, you want a piece of the pie? How could you be so shameless? Also, why don’t you take a look at your status. What right do you have to talk to us like that? Do you think that an invitation to here means you’ve made it? How laughable.” She ridiculed. She looked down at XunMi as if she was looking at garbage.

Of course, this severely affected Si YuFan’s mood. The person that he wanted to protect at all costs was being treated like this by others. His heart hurt.

“Guards! Cut off this lowly person’s tongue!”

XunMi didn’t seem to want to get rid of them too quickly. Then he should help her collect interest for now. The remainder of their punishments can wait for XunMi herself to administer.

Three men in black emitting dangerous air appeared from amidst the crowd. They headed straight towards Yu LingXi on stage. These men had first been members of Si YuFan’s private Silver Wolf team. Whenever Si YuFan was traveling, there would always be bodyguards. After all, Si YuFan was of high status. There were many people red eyed with greed.

As the three approached, Yu LingXi finally began to feel slightly afraid. She took steps back and hid behind Yi Ling. Stretching her head out, she shouted, “Marshal Si, you can’t do this. My grandfather is a hero to the empire. My father is a head marshal. You- AH!” Before she could finish speaking, two large men grabbed her and pulled her forward.

Yu LingXi struggled to escape. Her hands were pulled behind her, making the exposing dress even more exposing. The two large peaches appeared without restriction in front of everyone. The whole crowd was agape due to the site in front of them. The red marks around her body illustrated what she had experienced before coming to the banquet. To some, this was undoubtedly a temptation. Their lower halves reacted in response. To others, it was disgusting.

Si YuFan covered XunMi’s face as soon as Yu LingXi was exposed. He also turned away his own head. His XunMi shouldn’t see such a filthy image. He also wouldn’t let his own eyes be polluted by such an image. “Take her down. If she’s so eager, give her to see the military troops. Of course, first send her to get checked out to make sure she’s not infected by anything. If whatever sickness was passed down to the troops, that wouldn’t be good.” Si YuFan changed his mind. In two sentences, he completely decided Yu LingXi’s life.Just because he didn’t react immediately didn’t mean that he forgot how XunMi was pushed out of the safety zone in front of an aerocar and left for death.

Si YuFan had never been a benevolent person. If anyone acted against him, he would slowly, slowly get revenge.

“Ah! No! Marshal Si, no, I’m begging you! Get away, get away from me. I’m Yu family’s daughter? Do you want to make an enemy of Yu family?” No matter how much Yu LingXi cried or cursed, the two large men didn’t release their hold on her. They dragged her out of the hall.

Yi Ling had already been dumbstruck by this series of events. In just a few seconds, it was like he fell from heaven to hell. So this Nian XunMi woman had somehow gotten linked with Marshal Si! Damn it, why didn’t he realize earlier. If he had known, he would have spoken more softly to her at least. Maybe he would have been able to make her fall hopelessly back in love with him and help him connect with Marshal Si.

It wasn’t too late now. After all, they had those lovely memories together in the past, didn’t they? Still daydreaming, Yi Ling quickly let out a wide smile and walked towards XunMi. It was as if he didn’t even know the person that had just been dragged out the doors.

“XunMi, we are already so familiar with each other. But why didn’t you introduce me to Marshal Si. You’re so childish. Now that you will be with Marshal Si in the future, you must make sure to be more obedient in the future.” Yi Ling spoke, his tone expressing that he was looking out for her interests, and that she should be thanking him. His whole attitude made XunMi unable to resist the urge to kick him.

Very un/fortunately, her kick landed right on an unspeakable area.

“Ah-” A miserable scream resounded throughout the banquet hall as Yi Ling fell to the ground. XunMi blinked her eyes innocently. She really didn’t mean to. It was a conditional response. Moreover, how would she know that Yi Ling would be so unlucky. A random kick could land so easily on target? Even the heavens were looking at this person unfavorably. On the outside, she maintained a face of innocence.

Si YuFan chuckled and patted XunMi’s head. “It’s alright if this kind of man is ruined. That way, he can avoid harming other innocent women.”

Si YuFan took a step forward, one foot landing on Yi Ling’s hand. “Yi Ling, right?” He grinded his foot down before speaking again. “You have until tomorrow to obediently return all the money and men you owe XunMi. If you are off by a hair, then don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
