Chapter 115: First Encounter with Zhi Shao (Part 2)

Su RAO's steps halted.

The tall and heroic man blocking her path, especially his cold, piercing phoenix eyes, seemed to contain sharp swords within. Once unsheathed, those swords could kill hundreds.

Such a person, cold and distant, should not be making such obstructive moves, yet he did.

Zhu Xian, Prince Yi, what are you doing...

A hint of darkness flashed in her almond-shaped eyes, disappearing in an instant.

"Miss Su has never known what 'apologizing' means. Perhaps Prince Yi can enlighten me."

Her lips curled into a playful smile, and the anger she felt towards Yun JI seemed to dissipate at the sight of this handsome man, revealing her flirtatious nature...

In full view.

"Miss Su..."

But Prince Yi turned around and walked away.

"You're interesting. I'll remember you."

"The Prince Yi of Zhu Xian is quite intriguing! Alas, Miss Su already has someone in her heart. What a pity!"

She wore an expression of regret.

How could such a valiant and handsome man not have appeared before her sooner!

What a shame, truly a shame!

All of this was captured by Zhao Lianxin, who clenched her jade hand, crumpling the handkerchief in her grasp, her eyes darkening.

After a moment, she descended the steps and left.

"Zhao Lianxin..."

Su RAO took a large step forward, blocking Zhao Lianxin's path.

"You'd better stay away from Prince Yun JI, or don't blame Miss Su for her lack of restraint."

She clenched her fist, causing it to crackle, and issued a brazen threat.

Then, she left with Yi Su.

Her long black hair fluttered wildly, and her red robes danced in the wind, glowing brightly.

"Miss, that ugly girl is really bullying us..."

Shu LAN's face flushed with anger.

Zhao Lianxin's handkerchief was also crumpled, but her demeanor remained composed.

She maintained her noble and dignified air.

"Let's go!"

As Zhao Lianxin and her maid departed, the gate of the Yun Mansion finally fell silent. At that very moment, a pair of silhouettes materialized from an adjacent alleyway.

To be precise, Su WU was clinging to Yun MUyue, who was carrying him, stumbling out. Su WU's large hands covered Yun MUyue's face, distorting his features.

"Su WU, you traitorous brother, everyone's gone, and you still won't let go of me."

His muffled voice was barely understandable as Yun MUyue tried to shake Su WU off.

As Su RAO departed from the Su Mansion to the Yun Mansion, Su WU also took his leave. While Su RAO was en route to the Lian Pavilion, he made a detour to the Yun Mansion and, without uttering a word, restrained Yun MUyue, thereby preventing her from meddling in his sister's schemes.

"Little Eight, I'm doing this for your own good."

Seeing no one outside the Yun Mansion, Su Wu released Yun Mu Yue and jumped down.

Yun MUyue punched Su WU fiercely. "For my good? You're just protecting your ugly sister! She's after my Prince Yun JI..."

Yun MUyue's punch was easily caught by Su WU, who then twisted his arm behind his back and locked his throat with his elbow.

Yun MUyue instantly cried out in pain.

"Little Five, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

But Su WU didn't release him, instead scolding him, "Little Eight, why are you so stupid! If my little sister falls for Prince Yun JI, what chance do you have? You fool, instead of trying to bring them together, you're still thinking about yourself."

Yun MUyue's cries of pain choked in his throat.

What does he mean?

"Little Eight, you know how my little sister is. If we don't find someone who can tame her, do you think you can keep playing cricket with me?"

Seeing Yun MUyue catch his breath, Su WU released him and put his arm around his shoulder. Ignoring the mischievous glint in his eyes, he seemed like a loyal brother looking out for him.

"Little Eight, think about it. Since childhood, every handsome guy my little sister set her sights on couldn't escape her. Even Xiao Gongzi ended up with her. If it weren't for me protecting you, you would have been devoured long ago. Now that she's interested in Prince Yun JI, shouldn't you pray for his safety?"

"But..."

Yun MUyue thought Su WU had a point, but he couldn't let Su RAO disgrace his Prince Yun JI.

"You're full of it..."

Su WU cursed and hit Yun MUyue on the head.

"Who is Prince Jiyue? He is the light of our Yun Lang. Xiao Ba, not to belabor the point, but with your brain, you can't even compare to one of his fingernails. Do you think my little sister could treat Prince Jiyue like she treats you, devouring him whole?"

"Pfft..."

This faint laugh was so subtle that neither Su Wu nor Yun Muyue heard it.

"The Su family, truly unique, every single one."

A flash of crimson disappeared from under an eave.

Xiao Ziyu, who had also come secretly, left just as quietly.

"Xiao Ba, everything I've said is for your own good. Think it over carefully! But let me warn you, if you provoke my little sister again because of Prince Jiyue, this time I might not be able to rush to your aid as quickly as I did when we were children. If she really does devour you whole..."

He patted Yun Muyue on the shoulder earnestly, his face conveying a clear message: "I've warned you about everything; be careful!" With that, Su Wu left.

Yun Muyue's eyes glazed over as childhood nightmares resurfaced—the ferocious Su wolf tearing at his tender white fur, leaving him helpless...

His body shuddered involuntarily.

"Xiao Wu, wait for me, wait for me. You have to protect me..."

...

On bustling Beiyang Street, gossip continued unabated, everyone speculating about what was happening in Dongxing Street.

When some brave citizens returned, everyone crowded around them.

"What happened? Did that ugly girl from the Su family barge in? Has Miss Zhao been beaten to death? What about Prince Jiyue!"

Questions came one after another, never ceasing.

Meanwhile, inside the Seventh Prince's residence on Xihua Street, chaos erupted once more.

Outside the Jinse Hall, on the steps, Su Han stood expressionless, swords by his side.

The guards of the Seventh Prince's residence held spears but dared not approach.

"Guardian Su, if Second Master Su barges into our Seventh Prince's residence and kidnaps the Seventh Prince, and if this reaches the Emperor's ears..."

The chief steward pleaded earnestly.

"Guardian Su, please have Second Master Su release our Seventh Prince!"

Otherwise, there will be serious consequences.

Su Han seemed to have shut out all sound, focusing only on Su Er's orders.

Guard the door.

The doors of Jinse Hall were tightly shut, and only the angry shouts of Yun Mujing could be heard.

"Su Yumuo, you madman, release this prince..."
