FULL NOVELXO Chapter 36
Crush The Scum!
“How dare you!” Mu Yunzhan shouted in anger. He did not foresee Qing Xuantian’s descent into madness. The man just revealed the ‘bandits’ were under his command. Did he not care about the Qing family’s reputation?
“Master Mu, I am only here for my fiancée, not to disrupt the assessment! You have no right to pit the Tianxuan army against my soldiers! Order them away!” Qing Xuantian said resolutely.
Qing Xuantian was fighting for the Qing family, for his future! contemporary romance
He was acutely aware of Bai Ye’s important role. When she matured, she would be a powerful piece that could help the Qing family rise up to match the Four Noble Families within the century!
Qing Xuantian’s unhelpful co-conspirator, Yun Suqian, hurriedly came to support him. “Young Master Qing is right, Master Mu. This is a private matter between two families.”
A few young men from the crowd hollered angrily, “Are you deaf? Lady Bai already said the engagement is off. She’s no longer your fiancée.”
“Yeah! What’s wrong with you? The lady has suffered enough under your hands and you want to take her back with you? Do you plan to kill her?”
“What a scumbag! To think that I once thought of Young Master Qing as my idol. Ugh! I want to puke…”
The disapproving chatter spread through the crowd. Qing Xuantian had never done anything this humiliating in public but he was willing to sacrifice his reputation for Bai Ye’s capture.
“What are you waiting for? Take her!” Qing Xuantian ordered again. The stunned soldiers snapped out of their confusion and went after Bai Ye.
Ji Fu glanced at Mu Yunzhan. He was thinking of a backup plan in case the general chose to not step in.
Mu Yunzhan did not disappoint. He gave the order. “Kill!”
The Tianxuan army moved in unison as the soldiers drew their weapons. The first blow was delivered synchronously.
A single strike took out approximately 100 Qingyun soldiers. The standing army was not to be fooled with.
Qing Xuantian’s expression darkened. “Mu Yunzhan! You are abusing your power!”
Mu Yunzhan was an army man through and through. Once his mind was made up, there was little that could sway him. “Kill!”
“Master Mu, you are throwing away your bright future! My nephew has said he will not interfere with the assessment. He just wants his fiancée! This is a personal matter!” Yun Suqian said agitatedly. He knew only bad things awaited him if Qing Xuantian failed.
“Kill!” Mu Yunzhan did not back down. He believed his attack was justified—Qing Xuantian had simply crossed the line. After learning that Lady Bai was dear to Qin Ban, Mu Yunzhan decided there was no way he would abandon her.
He was loyal to Master Qin!
Previously, he stayed his hand because Qing Xuantian had the moral high ground. Mu Yunzhan did not want to bring trouble to Master Qin by resorting to violence.
However…
This attack against Qing Xuantian would only tarnish Mu Yunzhan’s own reputation—something he did not mind.
Suddenly, Bai Ye shouted from the sidelines, “Wait!”
She pulled out a jade badge and lifted it for everyone to see. “I have the participation badge so anyone who is trying to take me away is disrupting the Erudition Trials.”
