Chapter 3

C3 – The Princess of the Yun Family Yun Tiantian

Outside the gates of the Yun residence, a group of about ten imposing men stood with an air of bravado. Before them lay a large chest, adorned with a red ribbon that fluttered and creaked in the wind.

“Yun Tiantian, come out. There’s no point in hiding behind the crowd,” Qiu Kuiwei said with contempt as he eyed the Yuns, who seemed eager to fight yet dared not make a move.

Despite being outnumbered by the thirty-some members of the Yun family, Qiu Kuiwei’s arrogance was undiminished.

The mention of “Grand Martial Master” subdued the once-enraged Yun crowd, leaving them silent and their faces etched with resignation.

“You!” Yun Tiantian pointed at Qiu Kuiwei, her voice ringing out, “You’re the shameless ones!”

“Who’s being shameless?”

A young man clad in a black robe strode forward with a commanding presence, radiant as the dawn sun. The crowd was drawn to him, unable to look away.

This young man was none other than Yun Haoyan, who had emerged from his room. Ignoring the stares, he made his way to his sister, Yun Tiantian, and asked with tender concern,

“Tiantian, who’s been giving you trouble?”

Yun Haoyan’s anger flared as he saw his sister’s tear-streaked face. Yun Tiantian was the cherished princess of their family, adored by all. It was unthinkable that she’d be subjected to such treatment by an outsider.

“Brother...” Yun Tiantian gazed up at the man before her and cried out.
