Chapter 1472: Someone Has To Take Responsibility III

However...

The moment she turned, a vine slithered out from below her feet and with a loud slapping sound, the vine whipped her face, leaving a bloody scar on her fair and tender skin.

“Hiss!” Lianyi gasped in pain. She lifted a hand to wipe her face only to realize that her hand was covered in blood. There was fury in her eyes. “Feng Ruqing!”

The guards exchanged glances.

“Miss Lianyi, she had already left. It might... not be her.”

Lianyi’s body was trembling, the resentment clear in her eyes. “Who else could it be but her? This vine clearly belongs to her. I’ve never deliberately gone against her or done anything to her but she keeps trying to harm me. I will remember this. Even if General asks about this, she will be the first to be blamed!”

The general had taught them to never bully others because of their authority and never to be arrogant. She had done as he told her to.

The general had also taught them that revenge must be taken and that they should not let anyone bully them!

She had always remembered this!

Now that the other party had attacked her first, it would not be considered bullying if she retaliated! She would just be taking revenge for herself!

“But...” She was really gone.

The guard had just spoken, but when he saw Lianyi’s dark expression, he stopped talking.

Lianyi suddenly chuckled. “But I won’t have to take any action anymore. This woman has caused the little prince’s fall, so His Highness and the empress definitely won’t let her off!”

Even if the little prince was natural-born trash, the empress still loved him dearly! If she knew that someone had harmed the little prince, that person... would face a tragic ending!

“Let’s go!” Lianyi’s eyes were dark as she turned to look at the guards behind her. “One more thing, you guys should know what you can or cannot say. The little prince being taken away by a leopard was Feng Ruqing’s fault. If any of you reported incorrectly, Big Brother Feng might get dragged down instead. Big Brother has been kind to all of you. If you harmed him that way, your conscience would haunt you forever.”

The guards looked down, staying silent.

That incident earlier... was not Miss Feng’s fault. But... if they spoke the truth, not only the emperor and the empress, even the general might be furious. If the general tried to speak up for Young Master Lianqing, Young Master Lianqing might not make it out unscathed...

“We understand, Miss Lianyi.”

It was true that Young Master Lianqing treated them well, so how could they let him be punished? If Young Master Lianqing ended up being chased out of General Manor because of this, with his pride, it would be agonizing for him...

Lianyi finally retracted her gaze and started moving forward indifferently.

***

A leopard was holding onto a little fat boy in its mouth in the deeper region of the spirit beast mountain as it dashed away.

“Wuu... Big Brother Leopard, Master Leopard, I only have fats, and I’m not delicious. Please let me go! Wuuuu!”

The little fatty was wailing his heart out. His face that was cleaned earlier was now dirty again as his snot danced in the air.

The leopard ignored the little fatty as it sprinted. Just then, a dark green silhouette fell from the sky and stood before them, blocking the leopard’s way.

When the little prince saw the dark green silhouette, he cried harder. “Feng Lianqing, save me quickly! Wuuu! This leopard is trying to eat me! Save me quickly! I promise that I won’t ever come to the spirit beast mountain again!”

Even if he was trash, it was still better than being swallowed alive by a spirit beast. After this miserable encounter, he would never want to come here again.historical
