As the three layers of light gauze curtains were pulled aside, Liu Yuren, who had only been heard but never seen, finally revealed his true appearance.
However, behind the three layers of gauze, there was yet another layer of crystal bead curtains. Yao Tai stood expressionless in place, and as Liu Yuren used his calloused hand to part the crystal bead curtains, the breathtaking visage that appeared before Jing Tian'ao and Xuan Yuan Ling momentarily left both men breathless.
The breath-stopping effect did not solely stem from Liu Yuren's flawless left cheek; it also came from the right side of his face, which was covered by a silver metal mask.
If Xuan Yuan Ling and Jing Tian'ao guessed correctly, Liu Yuren's right cheek must have been disfigured.
Although his intact cheek concealed the right side of his face, if Liu Yuren intended to hide his appearance, he should have worn a complete mask at this moment.
This partial reveal seemed rather enigmatic.
Thus, there could only be one reason: Liu Yuren's right cheek had long been ruined.
This also explained why Liu Yuren had always refused to show his true face and chose to hide inside the Palanquin.
Watching Liu Yuren slowly emerge from the Palanquin, Jing Tian'ao felt a sense of relief. If Liu Yuren had not disfigured half of his face, it was likely that he would have been overshadowed by this mysterious man.
In the Vast Continent, there was already a formidable expert named Gu Xuanhong. Jing Tian'ao would never allow Liu Yuren to possess any advantage over him.
Now that it was confirmed that Liu Yuren was merely a disfigured ugly person, there was no way that Xia Huxin would take an interest in him.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Ling had shifted his gaze to the motionless figure of Huxin lying on the bed.
"This entire courtyard is completely secure; you have three choices," Liu Yuren spoke as he walked forward.
That perfect left side of his face could drive the world mad and leave everything else in the shadows. Just like his voice, which bore no flaws and was as perfect as a unique masterpiece meticulously crafted by heaven itself.
And the other half of his face... was likely ruined beyond recognition. Otherwise, the mask would not cover even his right eye.
The only explanation was that when Liu Yuren disfigured his right cheek, he also lost his right eye in the process.
No wonder that over the years, everyone has only heard his voice but never seen him. Even the trusted deputy who has followed Liu Yuren for many years finds it difficult to see his true self.
However, today he actually appeared for Xia Huxin. This made Jing Tian'ao even more jealous.
"Your three choices are... get lost! Get lost! Get lost!"
Liu Yuren repeated "get lost" three times, and he truly made Jing Tian'ao and Xuan Yuan Ling roll away three times.
As he approached, a powerful internal force surged from his palm. Just with his left hand, the internal force was enough to deal with both Xuan Yuan Ling and Jing Tian'ao at the same time, forcing them to retreat step by step!
Liu Yuren's internal force was not about being aggressive or ruthless, but rather it was impenetrable and subtle, leaving Xuan Yuan Ling and Jing Tian'ao unable to find any clues for defense or attack; they could only look for weaknesses while retreating.
"Let's team up outside!" The usually aloof and ruthless Jing Tian'ao could not bear to leave like this and turned to discuss with Xuan Yuan Ling.
Xuan Yuan Ling, who was struggling to hold his ground, sneered coldly at Jing Tian'ao, his expression one of mockery that Jing Tian'ao had never seen before.
"This Young Master would rather lose honorably and spectacularly than be like you, a pile of dog shit! Team up with you? Dream on! You must be blind! This Young Master also gives you three options! Die! Die! Die!"
As Xuan Yuan Ling finished speaking, Jing Tian'ao's face turned an unprecedented shade of charcoal gray.
For a prince to say "die" three times is absolutely a capital offense! But the one who said it was Xuan Yuan Ling! If Jing Tian'ao pursued this matter, everyone in the Vast Continent would say he was quarreling with a madman. Moreover, knowing Xuan Yuan Ling's character, he would definitely bring up what had just happened. At that time, Jing Tian'ao would likely face ten times more suspicion than he did yesterday on the street!
But if he didn't settle accounts with Xuan Yuan Ling, how could Jing Tian'ao be willing?
From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the most valued prince of the Vast Emperor, the only prince with a heavenly title, and the sole prince conferred as king by the Vast Emperor!
He was the favored son of heaven, the ideal partner in the hearts of countless young girls.
They revered him and were infatuated with him!
Who ever dared to disrespect him?
But ever since the current Xia Huxin was no longer the previous Xia Huxin, everything had changed!
“Xuan Yuan Ling! You! Are looking for death!” Jing Tian'ao spoke each word with gritted teeth. Mo Tong flashed a hint of red cold light in his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Yuren calmly walked into the room amidst the fierce gazes of the two.
Standing firm, he waved his sleeve, and the two maids kneeling on the ground, along with Ouyang Pingtian, who was rolling on the floor in pain, were all swept out by his palm wind. They landed one by one on a stone bench in the courtyard in the order of Ouyang Pingtian, Li Ma, and Zhao Ma.
Ouyang Pingtian was at the bottom, with the plump Li Ma and Zhao Ma heavily pressing down on her. Originally, Ouyang Pingtian had only dislocated an arm, but with Li Ma and Zhao Ma pressing down like this, her left leg's calf was fractured, her right thigh was fractured, her arm had a comminuted fracture, and she even broke three ribs.
Ouyang Pingtian screamed in agony, wishing she could faint rather than endure this suffering. However, Liu Yuren's strike was perfectly controlled to make her feel worse than death.
“You two dog servants, get up! Ahhhh! Help! Help! Murder!!! Ahhhh!” Ouyang Pingtian let out a series of pig-like screams, but Li Ma and Zhao Ma had already been sealed by Liu Yuren when they flew out of the room. Together they weighed exactly three hundred pounds, firmly pressing down on Ouyang Pingtian, allowing her to suffer the pain as if crushed by heavy stones against her chest while lying on the cold round stone bench.
“Yao Tai, take her down to heal.” Liu Yuren spoke steadily. Although he did not specify who she was, Yao Tai immediately rushed into the room and without a word carefully picked up the barely conscious Qing Yan from the ground.
Even after following Liu Yuren through countless battles and being accustomed to bloody scenes, upon seeing the battered and bloodied Qing Yan, Yao Tai felt a tremor in his heart.
He remembered seeing this maid's delicate and charming face just yesterday; now it was…
The expressionless face of Yao Tai, which had remained unchanged for a thousand years, twitched violently at this moment.
“My lady… my lady… we must protect her reputation…” Even in her dying moments, Qing Yan did not forget to worry about Huxin, who lay on the bed between life and death.
