Yang Zhong acted as if he didn't hear Ye Junli's words at all, and continued to stare at me, causing the air to seem to freeze. There was no sound at all, even Aunt An didn't dare to speak anymore.

I closed my eyes and didn't look at him, but I could feel his strength gradually increasing. I even felt like I was about to be crushed.

I opened my eyes probingly, but found that Yang Zhong still looked at me without moving, as if he couldn't hear Ye Junli's words.

"Let her go!" Ye Junli did not care about Yang Zhong's reaction, gritting his teeth he gave the order.

At this time, as if he had just revived, Yang Zhong slowly turned his head to look at Ye Junli mechanically.

"Yang Zhong!" Before Yang Zhong even finished speaking, Aunt An had already reminded him.

Yang Zhong was the nephew of the owner of the Demon Region, and had been pampering him inside and out since he was young. Even though he wasn't really his son, he still valued him a lot, and at this time, Aunt An yelled for him to stop, as she was afraid that he would offend Ye Junli on a whim. At that time, not only Yang Zhong, the entire Demon Region would be in trouble.

Yang Zhong seemed to have received the message from Aunt An. He looked at Ye Junli and hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go of me.

My whole body was covered in cold sweat, but now that I had relaxed, I felt like I was collapsing and that I was sliding down the wall. Fortunately, Wu Meng had moved quickly to support me.

Yang Zhong was shorter than Ye Junli, Ye Junli's aura was also much stronger, his entire temperament was countless times stronger than Yang Zhong, but the ferocity of Yang Zhong's current expression made one feel a chill under their feet. I didn't know what exactly had happened to make Yang Zhong become like this.

I don't know what kind of message they were looking at each other with. I didn't want Yang Zhong to clash head on with Ye Junli so that he would be the one to get hurt in the end, but I didn't know how the crazy Yang Zhong was acting right now.

"Yang Zhong!" Aunt An called out to him again at this time. Then, he quickly walked to Ye Junli's side and respectfully said, "Young Master Li, he doesn't usually interact with people often. He's not very sensible, so don't lower yourself to his level."

Aunt An's attitude towards Ye Junli was still considered polite, but Ye Junli's expression did not ease up at all.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't know anything or not, but Zhou Xiang is my woman, he should know this fact. Ye Junli's voice was cold and harsh, clearly showing his anger.

However, Yang Zhong acted as if he didn't hear what Yun Che said, his expression didn't soften in the slightest. Instead, his tightly clenched fists were shaking uncontrollably, evidently, he had used a lot of strength to suppress himself.

I couldn't bear to see him like this. I didn't know why he was like this, but I knew it had nothing to do with me. I hesitated for a bit, but still gently struggled free from Wu Meng's grasp. I walked up to him with slow steps, raised my head to look at Yang Zhong's ashen face and said, "Yang Zhong, don't be like this. There's no possibility of the two of us being like this.

Following my words, Yang Zhong's face gradually flushed red, and then, it gradually turned into a sorrowful expression. He suddenly turned around to look at me, and his eyes flushed red, "Yao Ji, I know you were forced to do this. You obviously didn't want to be together with this man, why are you like this?"

I glanced at Ye Junli from the corner of my eyes. He was obviously dissatisfied with what Yang Zhong had said, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and displeasure could be seen on his face.

I immediately said to Yang Zhong: "Yang Zhong, stop being so arrogant. In the end, the two of us don't have much of a deep friendship. All you know about me is just your wishful thinking."

Hearing my words, Yang Zhong's face became even uglier, he opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, the boss rushed over.

The boss knew that something was amiss when he saw Ye Junli and Yang Zhong's confrontation. He quickly walked over and smiled to Ye Junli: "Young Master Li, what's going on?"

Ye Junli didn't even look at him and directly said impolitely, "This person wants to steal my woman. Boss Yang, what do you think we should do?"

Then, he pulled Yang Zhong and said to Ye Junli, "Young Master Li, how is that possible? This nephew of mine has been obedient since childhood, and probably because of something wrong with his mind, that's why he dared to offend you like this."

The boss obviously wouldn't dare to offend Ye Junli, but looking at Ye Junli's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't want to let things go this way. Other than Yang Zhong, the rest of the people standing here looked at Ye Junli nervously.

That was true. With Ye Junli stomping his feet like this, the imperial city would definitely be shaken three times. If they were to compete with a small figure like Yang Zhong here, they would definitely be worried that Yang Zhong would suffer.

I can't let him get hurt by Ye Junli again, even if I have to protect him one last time. In the past, when the guests were making things difficult for me, he had helped me multiple times, so now is the time for me to help him.

"Young Master Li, I was wrong, please let Yang Zhong go." I said to Ye Junli.

Ye Junli's expression didn't ease up at all. He slowly turned his head towards me, and the corner of his mouth slowly rose into a sneer. "Zhou Xiang, you could say anything for him!"

As I listened to Ye Junli's cold tone, I didn't know how I said the wrong things to offend him, but Ye Junli was currently angry, and it was a very serious anger. I suddenly felt a little afraid in my heart.

I subconsciously took two steps back, but it was possible that this movement had completely ignited Ye Junli. His eyes gradually darkened as he stepped forward and bent over, lifting me onto his shoulder.
