After examining it for quite some time, Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, could not find a breakthrough. Unable to curb his curiosity, Xiao Tianyi finally asked, “Is there a way to solve this formation? Or is it just a dead formation?”
Yun Qianyu sneered, “Xuan Prince is interesting. If I dare to set up the formation, it naturally has a solution to solve it.”
Eager to learn more about it, Xiao Tianyi couldn’t help but ask, “Could you give us some advice?”
Not even looking at Xiao Tianyi, Yun Qianyu answered him coldly, “Your Highness should solve the puzzle on your own. If I gave a hint then it wouldn’t be as interesting.”
Yun Qianyu’s cold words made Xiao Tianyi’s face red. He looked at Yun Qianyu and felt a great sense of regret.
That’s right, Xiao Tianyi regretted it now.
Even with a ruined face, Xiao Tianyi felt that Yun Qianyu was qualified to become his princess consort. ‘Why didn’t she display her talents before this?’
Xiao Jiuyuan, who hadn’t moved from his seat, saw Xiao Tianyi’s every move. With a faint sneer on his face he thought, ‘Now you regret it? It’s too late.’
Thinking about this, Xiao Jiuyuan turned his attention to Yun Qianyu. Filled with a sinister aura, Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu and thought, ‘This damned woman, why would she make such a big scene about this, causing all the men to become so interested and even making Xiao Tianyi regret his decisions.’
Naturally, Yun Qianyu felt the glare from Xiao Jiuyuan. She instinctively looked up and saw that Xiao Jiuyuan was indeed staring at her, his glare telling her to stay low and not attract attention.
With a single eyebrow raised, Yun Qianyu rolled her eyes and thought, ‘Stay low? I only set up a chess formation.
I’m not going to be looked down at forever! I sure don’t want to be told that I’m a useless young miss.’
Not paying attention to Xiao Jiuyuan, Yun Qianyu looked away and didn’t care about his warning.
Seeing how she was treating him, Xiao Jiuyuan felt a pain in his chest. Filled with anger, Xiao Jiuyuan’s gaze landed on Lu Waner, the person who had previously made sarcastic remarks toward Yun Qianyu.
With a sinister look on his face, Xiao Jiuyuan thought, ‘If I’m not happy, I’ll make someone else unhappy as well!’
Immediately, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered, “Men, bring Lu Waner out for punishment! Slap her face until it is bruised!”
Upon hearing this, many of the women became scared. With a pale face, Lun Waner immediately came to Xiao Jiuyuan and kowtowed. “Your Highness, please forgive me!”
“Excuse me?”
Without even looking at Lu Waner, Xiao Jiuyuan waved his hand and Hei Yao quickly came to grab Lu Waner.
Outside the courtyard, sounds of slapping were heard. All the women in the courtyard became terrified at the screams and some even cried in fear.
At this time, no one was in the mood to play any more games.
Among the women, Yun Qianxue was the only one that felt anger. She had intended to make a fool out of Yun Qianyu but the events did not turn out as she thought. On the contrary, Yun Qianyu not only attracted the attention of many men, she even made Xiao Tianyi become interested.
Thinking of how Xiao Tianyi was looking at Yun Qianyu, Yun Qianxue became even more furious. ‘Why, why are all the men interested in Yun Qianyu, that cheap woman? What’s so impressive about her?’
