Chapter 668 - 680: Why Are You So Silly?
His back and arm clothes were already soaked with blood. The stick "crack!" struck his body harshly, making his whole body tremble.He gritted his teeth but remained silent.
In the center of the hall, Nangong Yaoling sat coldly on the chair.
An icy, sinister aura enveloped his entire being. His dark pupils were burning with rage.
Xia Xiaonuan’s body shook, and in the next second, seeing that Qin Yi was almost unable to hold on, she rushed forward and cried, "Stop! Don’t hit him!"
The men stopped, looked back at Xia Xiaonuan, and then at Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan, and gritted his teeth: "Why are you here?"
"Do you want to kill him? Nangong Yaoling!" Xia Xiaonuan shouted, "He can’t take it anymore. If this continues, he’ll really die!"
"Anyone who makes a mistake must be punished. In the Nangong Empire, this applies to everyone." Nangong Yaoling said coldly, looking at the two bodyguards: "Continue—until all one hundred strokes are finished!"
"Don’t hit!" Xia Xiaonuan screamed as she looked at the bodyguards raising their sticks.
Blood trickled from the corner of Qin Yi’s mouth, and he spoke weakly, "Young... Young Madam... Qin... Qin Yi deserves this. I only... let... let Young Master down. I... I’m sorry to you..."
After speaking, Qin Yi spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "crack." The blood sprayed the marble floor, shocking to the eye.
The air was thick with the scent of blood.
The always iron-clad Qin Yi, having endured over fifty strokes, couldn’t hold on anymore.
Nangong Zhongli stood in place, looking at Qin Yi’s state, her face instantly turned pale, and she unconsciously stepped back.
The nearby bodyguard hurried forward to support her and said, "Miss Zhong Li, are you alright?"
Lying in the chair, Qin Yi heard this voice, and his whole body trembled violently.
Miss Zhong Li...
He turned around slowly and incredulously.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan and Nangong Zhongli: "You two stay out of this! Someone, take Young Madam and Miss Zhong Li away!" Nangong Yaoling ordered coldly, casting a gloomy glance at Qin Yi.
Even though he didn’t really want to beat him to death,
what he detested most was betrayal! Especially by someone he valued and trusted the most! To betray him and let his rival out!
The crucial point being, he still wouldn’t explain his reasons, insisting it was all his fault alone!
Nangong Yaoling was practically fuming!
"Don’t touch me!" Nangong Zhongli watched the bodyguards approaching her. "Which of you dare to touch me?"
The bodyguards looked at Nangong Yaoling with some difficulty.
Nangong Zhongli walked forward, neither humble nor arrogant: "This matter started because of me. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Don’t hit him anymore!"
Nangong Yaoling’s pupils tightened instantly.
The nearby Qin Yi saw this and hurriedly spoke, "Miss... Miss Zhong Li... cough... cough..."
He coughed twice and spat out another mouthful of blood.
As he spoke, his teeth were stained red, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
"You... don’t plead for me... it’s all my fault alone... Young Master... it has nothing to do with her!" Qin Yi looked at Nangong Yaoling and pleaded.
Nangong Zhongli looked at the blood at the corner of his mouth and on the ground, smelling the blood in the air, and suddenly felt nauseous, placing her hand over her mouth as she dry heaved.
