"Rest assured, my general will definitely save Miss Huxin." Yao Tai, who rarely spoke, suddenly said a word. Qing Yan, in a daze from her unconsciousness, replied vaguely, "Of course."
Before Qing Yan completely lost consciousness, she gritted her teeth and uttered three words.
Yao Tai's icy expression twitched once again after he had just picked up Qing Yan.
This... truly reflects the kind of master one has is the kind of servant one gets!
This indomitable spirit... is indeed worth learning from.
Yao Tai carried Qing Yan and swiftly left the room. Liu Yuren waved his hand and used his internal energy to slam the door shut, leaving Xuan Yuan Ling and Jing Tian'ao outside.
Seeing Liu Yuren slam the door, Jing Tian'ao's eyes turned cold, his pupils radiating strands of blood-red killing intent. Sweat beads trickled down his forehead and nose, and a twisted blue vein bulged on his forehead, looking extremely terrifying.
"Xuan Yuan Ling! Are you really unwilling to cooperate with This King?" Jing Tian'ao gritted his teeth and spoke.
Xuan Yuan Ling raised her chin slightly, looking at Jing Tian'ao with even more disdain.
"You talk too damn much! Do you need me to curse you before you're happy? You really have a self-destructive nature! I don't want to curse you, yet you create conditions and opportunities that force me to do so! I've never seen such a self-deprecating prince like you!"
Xuan Yuan Ling's sarcastic remarks ignited Jing Tian'ao's already burning anger even more, causing him to jump up and strike fiercely at Xuan Yuan Ling's forehead.
In this world, anyone who is an ordinary person will have weaknesses!
No matter how noble or royal one is, they are all vulnerable in front of their weaknesses.
Jing Tian'ao was just like that at this moment.
His once-proud nobility was trampled underfoot by Xuan Yuan Ling's insults, secretly discarded by Xia Huxin's heartlessness! He had always looked down on others from above; when had it ever been his turn to be so trampled upon and disregarded?
Jing Tian'ao vented all his dissatisfaction from recent days at this moment.
However, even though Jing Tian'ao was the most skilled among all the princes, he still fell short compared to someone like Xuan Yuan Ling who came from a rough background.
"Xuan Yuan Heir, Prince Ping! What are you two doing? Why are you fighting in the young lady's courtyard? You two..."
Butler Gu also sensed that something was wrong at Lake Center Courtyard, so he hurried over to take a look. Fortunately, Liu Yuren's subordinates allowed him, this old man, to enter. Little did he expect that upon entering, he would see Jing Tian'ao and Xuan Yuan Ling engaged in a battle of internal energy.
Although Old Gu spoke with awe and concern, his heart was as clear as a mirror.
Since early this morning, he had felt that something was off at Xia Manor. Xiahou had been overly excited due to the young lady's transformation yesterday, drinking five jars of strong liquor, and even now, he had yet to sober up.
Xiahou's limit was three jars; five was definitely excessive.
Last night, Butler Gu had also accompanied his master in drinking two jars of liquor. He barely got up this morning when he found Mo Chuan entangled in a fight at the Pharmacy. The two opponents were practically bloodthirsty; one of them had even had an arm severed by Mo Chuan and was still desperately dragging him along. This reckless spirit reminded Old Gu of the Eastern Ninja Techniques he had seen ten years ago.
Seeing Mo Chuan caught up in the fight, Old Gu naturally suspected that something had gone wrong with Huxin. However, he never expected that upon entering the courtyard, he would witness the scene of Jing Tian'ao and Xuan Yuan Ling battling with internal energy!
"Old servant! Get out of the way!"
Jing Tian'ao, already blinded by rage, shouted at Old Gu, all traces of his former nobility and coldness vanished in that moment.
In contrast, Xuan Yuan Ling, who usually acted erratically, was unusually clear-headed at this time.
"Bah! Jing Tian'ao, you may look dignified on the outside, but deep down you're not even as good as common folk! You're just an empty shell with nothing inside! Huxin's decision to leave you was truly wise! How could someone like you ever be worthy of the graceful and talented girl? Hmph! If she were to take you back, it would be nothing short of a joke!"
Xuan Yuan Ling's sharp tongue was well-known; even the Queen and Empress Dowager dared not provoke her because her words could easily amplify others' wounds to the point of making them furious.
Jing Tian'ao had never interacted with Xuan Yuan Ling before and thus had never quarreled with her. Now that he regretted it, there was no remedy for his regret.
Butler Gu furrowed his brow slightly and lowered his gaze, choosing not to argue with Jing Tian'ao.
Inside Huxin's room, Liu Yuren's warm and steady voice rang out,
"Old Gu, Miss Xia is fine; it's all a misunderstanding. You should go back now. Remember to first go to Yao Tai to get an Antidote Pill for Xiahou. If Xiahou continues to drink and misses the timing, there won't be any good show left to see."
Liu Yuren's voice carried a rare sense of cheerfulness and ease, as if he was preparing something fun and interesting for everyone to witness next.
At this moment, Old Gu let out a long sigh of relief. Hearing Liu Yuren's voice naturally put his mind at ease.
Old Gu relaxed his face and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, General. I will take my leave."
Before turning to leave, Old Gu did not greet Jing Tian'ao but merely cupped his fists toward Xuan Yuan Ling as a form of acknowledgment.
Old Gu's background is not something an ordinary person can fully uncover.
As the butler of Xia Manor, the most trusted aide of Xia Yingba, he is certainly not just an ordinary old man who only manages accounts and oversees Xia Manor.
At this moment, Jing Tian'ao naturally regrets it, but it's too late!
Seeing Old Gu leave the courtyard with a light step, and recalling Old Gu's previous attitude of complete trust and delegation towards Liu Yuren, Jing Tian'ao felt an uncontrollable surge of anger burning within him, ready to explode!
Jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, hatred, murderous intent, loss of face, and boundless jealousy—countless complex and extreme emotions converged together, making him feel as if he was being consumed by flames and would take everyone down with him!
Because he could no longer remember what his familiar self looked like! Where was the shadow of his former self now?
It's all Xia Huxin!
It's all her!
Even when a maid by her side was on the verge of death, she trusted Xuan Yuan Ling. Yet now, the butler of Xia Manor trusts Liu Yuren! Where do these dog servants place him, Prince Ping? Do they think he doesn't exist?
If it weren't for Xia Huxin's attitude towards him, how could these dog servants treat him this way?
This woman, Xia Huxin, he Jing Tian'ao has set his sights on her! No one else can have her! He will go to the palace to see his father and ask for a marriage decree for himself and Xia Huxin! He doesn't believe that after the rice is cooked, she Xia Huxin would dare to defy the order!
