Chapter 822 No Nonsense with Idiots
Han Yan finished her sentence and suddenly drew her sword, slashing toward Kuang Guangyi. Her movements were swift, so quick that Kuang Guangyi had no time to dodge. But someone was even faster; Ye Lanfeng had already struck Kuang Guangyi with a sword strike. Kuang Guangyi let out a miserable scream, his whole body slammed against the wall, blood spurted from his mouth, splattering everywhere on the wall and floor. His internal organs shifted, causing such pain that he saw stars and nearly fainted.Mu Zexian and the others just stared blankly at the scene; everything happened so quickly they hadn’t yet recovered their wits.
"Speak, or die?" Ye Lanfeng’s voice seemed to carry icy shards.
Mu Zexian and the others shrank their necks. Although they still didn’t know exactly what had happened, they weren’t fools. The situation clearly indicated that Kuang Guangyi’s intention in meeting Han Yan wasn’t pure, and he had done something bad to her, seemingly succeeding. Seeing the furious Ye Lanfeng, they only felt the temperature inside the box drop significantly, cold and oppressive. Thus, they quietly huddled in the corner, shivering like quail.
"Why, why..." Kuang Guangyi spat out blood, lying on the ground, looking up at Han Yan with hatred in his eyes, "Why do you people get everything without having to give anything? And me? So full of hope, so hard working, yet I get nothing. Thanks to my cousin, I finally earned some resources to barely cultivate to this point, yet the Family Head still refuses to even glance at me. People like Princess Jin Hua deserve to die even more. Why, my cousin was so loyal to her, yet because of a minor mistake, she was cast down, and that so-called minor mistake was just speaking up for her!"
"So...what you hate is your own birth, hate that you can’t receive without effort, and also hate Princess Jin Hua who cut off your cultivation resources?" Han Yan slightly parted her lips, mocking as she spoke.
"No, it’s not like that!" Kuang Guangyi vehemently refuted, but his agitation aggravated his injuries, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.
"How is it not? Look at your unwilling, disgusting face. Do you think you’re some great hero, so righteous and passionate, avenging your cousin by using me, this infamous playboy, to strike against Princess Jin Hua, simultaneously getting revenge and eliminating evil, really killing two birds with one stone." Han Yan laughed, "Do you think I’m right or not?"
Kuang Guangyi was stunned, each of Han Yan’s words hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
Wasn’t that really the truth?
Wasn’t it satisfying to see a playboy like Han Yan get his due punishment?
Wasn’t someone as heartless and unprincipled as Princess Jin Hua deserving to be offended by such a playboy, tarnishing her reputation?
"Get out." Han Yan completely lost interest in talking nonsense with this fool before her. Wasn’t leaving someone like this alive to face what’s to come more entertaining? What’s this talk about non-effort reprieve leading to gain? How much hard work had she put into reaching this step, who knew of her hardships? Not every noble family’s son was as lucky to gain cultivation resources; more often, they were abandoned. As for what’s between Princess Jin Hua and her maid, Han Yan couldn’t be bothered dealing with it. If Princess Jin Hua wanted to scheme against her, then...let the result speak, just look at Ye Lanfeng’s attitude towards her.
Kuang Guangyi looked at Han Yan in disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe she would let him go so easily.
Would Han Yan really be so kind-hearted?
Of course not.
When Kuang Guangyi struggled to his feet, heading towards the door, Han Yan nonchalantly said, "I will let my grandfather and the Kuang Family Patriarch know everything that happened today. Take care, I won’t see you out."
Kuang Guangyi’s steps suddenly stopped, he turned his terrified gaze towards Han Yan.
At this moment, Mu Zexian suddenly rushed out, kicking Kuang Guangyi’s behind, cursing angrily, "I’ll help you roll out!"
And with that, Kuang Guangyi tumbled downstairs.
This meal left Mu Zexian and the others extremely on edge. No one expected something like this to happen, no one expected Kuang Guangyi to be so audacious as to use them, trying to plot against the most respected Brother Han Yan. Now, what should they do?
Everybody looked at each other helplessly, guilt, regret, remorse, and fear...
"It’s alright. None of you wanted this to happen. Is everyone full? If so, then head home," Han Yan didn’t mind what had happened, waved her hand to dismiss everyone.
"Then, what about you, Brother Han Yan..." Mu Zeran began to ask, but was elbowed in the chest by Mu Zexian, causing him to grimace in pain, confused, he looked at Mu Zexian. Mu Zexian gestured towards Ye Lanfeng’s direction, and Mu Zeran understood. With Ye Lanfeng around, they needn’t worry, so they quickly exited downstairs.
Han Yan stood up, settled the bill, and walked down the street alongside Ye Lanfeng. The night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness on their faces.
"How did you come here?" Han Yan asked.
"Princess Jin Hua sent a letter saying someone impersonated me to invite her. Initially, I didn’t want to mind it, but then I discovered it was the place where you were dining tonight, so I hurried over. Thank goodness you’re alright." Otherwise, I don’t know what I would have done. Ye Lanfeng felt grateful he came; otherwise, what would happen if something befell his Han Yan? Even knowing Han Yan’s capabilities wouldn’t allow her to stand idly by, he couldn’t control his worry and fear.
"No worries, it’s all over. These insipid clowns," Han Yan pouted. She wasn’t truly a playboy, nor a man, while the one Princess Jin Hua encountered was Ye Lanfeng, making her scheme ridiculous. If Ye Lanfeng hadn’t come, would her identity as a woman be forcibly exposed? How would Princess Jin Hua react, realizing she misjudged her gender, feigning sympathy, Han Yan pitifully thought of Princess Jin Hua.
"From now on, take Angang with you when you go out. If anything happens, inform me immediately," Ye Lanfeng said as he took Angang from his embrace, placing it in Han Yan’s arms.
Angang’s eyes were initially hazy, showing signs of having just woken, but seeing Han Yan gave it vitality, chirping "angang" energetically as it leapt into Han Yan’s embrace.
"Follow Han Yan from now on, if anything happens, notify me right away," Ye Lanfeng instructed Angang.
"Alright, alright, alright," Angang nodded like a pecking chick, secretly grumbling in discontent, "I know how to protect my own spouse."
...
After returning to the Mu Residence, Ye Lanfeng went back to his courtyard while Han Yan went to see Mu Beichen, recounting everything that happened that night. Enraged, Mu Beichen slammed a table apart.
