“City lord, those few bastards asked for you.” The high-ranked demon walked to Shen Yanxiao with a gloomy face.
“Who are they to ask Xiaoxiao to come to them?” The five jerks in disguise stood before Shen Yanxiao. Their handsome features had been replaced by ordinary ones. They were the prime examples of a standard passerby that would not be noticed if placed in a crowd.
“Qi Xia?” Du Lang looked at the young man who spoke with some uncertainty. The contrast of the before and after was too large.
Qi Xia touched his unattractive face and said, “The disguise mask produced by Ah Xi is pretty good.”
Tang Nazhi grabbed onto that high-ranked demon and asked, “Oh right, who are the bastards that asked for Xiaoxiao?”
“It’s those few bastards from the capital. They are being extremely haughty about it too.” The high-ranked demon had already found them disagreeable from the start.
“The envoy?”
“And also prince Long Yue and Pei Yuan, the state teacher,” Du Lang added.
“Long Yue, that little brat is also here?” The five jerks were not unfamiliar with Long Yue.
They were all sons of the most powerful families in the Longxuan Empire. With the exception of Li Xiaowei, the four of them had met with Long Yue several times.
“I see, so Pei Yuan has also tagged along. That old and young pair are not people easy to deal with. Your expression seems somewhat odd, did something happen when we were absent?” Qi Xia asked.
Du Lang tactfully revealed the previous incident where Li Qi had humiliated Shen Yanxiao, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
“Who does Li Qi think he is? How dare he speak about our Xiaoxiao like that? I will crush him with a single finger!” Tang Nazhi immediately exploded. What a joke. Shen Yanxiao was their precious little sister, so how could they allow other people to bully her? Not to mention Li Qi was only an official, even if it was the Emperor of the Longxuan Empire, he also dared to attack him!
“Alright, stop it. I’ll make my way there.” Shen Yanxiao had a splitting headache. She had no intentions of causing trouble right now.
The few jerks looked at Shen Yanxiao’s calm expression with an odd look. It was hard to imagine that the black-bellied little girl would submit to such humiliation.
“Let’s keep it at that. Xiaoxiao, since you are going, we’ll accompany you. As the city lord, you’ll need several followers, right?” Yan Yu spoke out to mediate the atmosphere. He believed she must have had her reasons for swallowing all those insults.
As a result, Shen Yanxiao and the five of them along with the Vermilion Bird went to visit those bastards. As Yin Jiuchen and Lan Fengli who were extremely angry towards Li Qi, she simply had them take a rest for fear that they were unable to control their emotions.
The moment they saw Li Qi, his expression immediately turned ugly.
“Our city lord is so ‘powerful’. Even with the prince and the state teacher present, you still require someone to coax and plead you before you come. I really wonder who else in the Longxuan Empire would pay you any attention.” Li Qi made cutting remarks at Shen Yanxiao.
In a short span of less than a minute, the five of them deeply understood why Du Lang and the other’s faces were so ugly. That guy named Li Qi was extremely rude and also arrogant. It made them feel like giving him two tight slaps.
Fortunately, the five of them were cultured people and since Shen Yanxiao had not said a word, they remained motionless.
Shen Yanxiao revealed a smile and directly ignored Li Qi. As she looked at the untouched buns on the table, she had an idea why they had asked for her.
It was evident that these three who lived and ate like a prince would never eat those buns.
But unfortunately, only those buns were available in her city, so it was up to them to eat it or starve.
