Chapter 28

Breaking Off The Engagement (4)

Soon after...

Hao Bilian did not manage to get a word in. In a flash, Bai Ye appeared like a demon before Qing Xuantian’s personal bodyguard.

The man was shocked by her appearance.

Qing Xuantian—who had the quickest reflex—spun around. “Little Ye?” He was too slow.

Like an eagle who found its prey, Bai Ye casually tossed the bodyguard toward Mu Yunzhan.

Mu Yunzhan could not wrap his mind around what was happening and almost thought it was a secret attack against him.

Everything happened too fast. Mu Yunzhan had a feeling he could not keep up with Lady Bai.

Speaking of which...

The sound of a few hundred city guards storming the assessment hall could be heard.

Bai Ye also saw Hong Qiguan—the man she faced five days ago. Alongside him were three other Mystic Warriors, leading squads of city guards.

“Master Mu, as you’ve said, my governance of Tong City has been disappointing. My incompetence has even extended to my family matters. When this is settled, I will willingly submit my resignation letter to the Ministry of Civil Appointments,” Yun Suqian said as he gestured to the Tong City guards.

Mu Yunzhan frowned.

“Brother Mu, do not involve yourself in this, else you bring trouble to Master Qin,” Qing Xuantian gave Mu Yunzhan a mental nudge as he advised.

At the same moment, the Tong City guards led by Hong Qiguan were ushering the honorary guests to leave. More guards were piling into the room.

The ruckus of the inner assessment hall was soon replaced by fearful silence.

As the guards surrounded the area, the atmosphere within the hall became more oppressive. It was the culmination of Qing Xuantian’s master plan.

The sob story and the misdirection of the public... It was all to ensure Qin Ban could not come after him.

Qing Xuantian wanted to use the Tong City guards to stake his claim on Bai Ye and bring her back to the Qingyun estate.
