"Didn’t Xiao Si say that the female protagonist made the system bring the person to her?"
Speaking of the system, the three of them had complicated expressions on their faces.
That thing is truly eerie, capable of preventing others from harming Su Qianxue. Even if the plot doesn’t restart, this places her in an unbeatable position.
However, although he didn’t achieve his goal tonight, the result wasn’t too bad. Thinking about how the guards would see the naked body of the Grand Commandant Mansion’s legitimate daughter, Yun Wanye’s mood improved significantly.
Yun Wanchen had evidently thought of that scene as well, his face slightly darkening, and he disapproved, saying, "Ye’er, I didn’t have time to talk to you before, afraid of exposing our identity."
"How can you use such vile and unscrupulous means against a woman?"
Hearing these words, Yun Wanye was immediately displeased.
"What do you mean by vile and unscrupulous? I don’t like what you’re saying, Brother."
"I’m no gentleman, nor do I pursue acting with integrity. When dealing with enemies, one should use any means necessary; this is the principle I’ve always believed in."
"You call me vile and unscrupulous, but in the plot, those men sold Yun Wanyao to a remote mountainside to be tortured to death by countless men. Were they noble?"
"Compared to them, I’m much more merciful."
Of course, this last sentence was insincere.
He wasn’t merciful to have refrained from doing so; it was because with the Grand Commandant Mansion’s and the system’s protection, he couldn’t treat Su Qianxue that way for the time being.
If he could, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate.
"..."
Yun Wanchen didn’t agree with his actions, but he couldn’t refute his words either, so he sighed and closed his mouth.
Perhaps Ye’er was right, and he was the one who was wrong.
"What’s this about? What did Ye’er do?"
Listening to their discussion, Yun Zhan couldn’t help but be curious.
Yun Wanye raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "I slashed Su Qianxue’s clothes."
"I guess tonight many of the Grand Commandant Mansion’s guards will have the rare opportunity to witness their young lady’s naked body. I’ve presented Su Jian with so many prospective sons-in-law; who knows if that old man will be overjoyed."
Yun Zhan: "..."
This is a bit hard to comment on.
"Didn’t you say you couldn’t touch Su Qianxue?"
He remembered that Ye’er’s sword had been stopped by a mysterious force.
Yun Wanye propped his head with his left hand, seeming thoughtful, "Who knows?"
"Since I couldn’t harm her face, I thought I’d try her clothes, and surprisingly, it worked. Maybe the clothes aren’t in the protection range. As long as she’s not hurt, that power might not get triggered."
"Maybe."
Grand Commandant Mansion.
After infiltrators in black snuck in, the guards were scouring different areas to ensure no intruders had escaped. To their surprise, they discovered a naked body in the young lady’s courtyard.
"C-C-Captain, it’s, i-it’s the young lady..."
Moving forward with torches, two guards recognized that beautiful yet familiar face in the firelight, and were so startled they stumbled away, unable to speak.
The mighty Grand Commandant Mansion, not only breached overnight but also seeing its young lady humiliated to such a degree. For the sake of Lord Grand Commandant’s reputation, these inept guards probably didn’t deserve to live.
Upon hearing it was their young lady, the captain’s face changed immediately, turning deathly pale.
But soon, his eyes spun, hatching a plan.
"If today’s incident gets reported, none of us will escape death. Now, I have a way; would you be willing to cooperate for the sake of living?"
If there’s a chance to live, who would choose death?
Upon the captain’s words, all the guards collectively kneeled.
"We’ll follow the captain’s orders."
"Like this..."
Quickly, the captain arranged for people to carry the unconscious Su Qianxue back to her room and cover her with a quilt. The door was closed, and the torn pieces of cloth in the courtyard were thoroughly cleaned, to pretend that nothing had happened.
"For the sake of your heads, make sure to keep your lips sealed and never speak of this again, understand?"
Though they encountered an unfortunate incident, luckily there were no outsiders present—only their own people.
As long as they didn’t talk, neither the slumbering Lord Grand Commandant nor his wife would ever know.
Naturally, they wouldn’t pursue this matter.
As for the young lady, she was already unconscious and wouldn’t know that her naked form had been seen by so many. Even if she did find out, for the sake of reputation, she wouldn’t publicize it widely.
So as long as they covered it up well, this matter would be completely brushed aside.
A squad of people hurriedly left.
Early the next morning.
