Before coming here, Prime Minister Zhao repeatedly cautioned that the envoys might have ill intentions and advised against any rash actions.
Now, it seemed that they were not here to discuss marriage alliances at all, but to create trouble.
Following that, numerous military commanders could not hold back and stood up in unison.
"Let me meet [them]."
Ouyang Ling nodded and made a welcoming gesture.
Her voice was lively.
"I hope the generals will show some restraint."
Seven people took to the field, followed by a fierce battle.
The young girl sat atop the White Tiger, her figure graceful, smiling cheerily.
The seven exerted all their skills, yet failed to harm either the White Tiger or the girl in the slightest.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, bam!
The last person was taken down by the Fierce Tiger in a sudden pounce, accompanied by a tiger’s roar that made the faint-hearted quiver in fear.
This only made the atmosphere even tenser.
Chunhua, seeing Su Yan still standing there with the wine pot, gestured to her,
"Haven’t you brought it to Your Highness yet?"
Su Yan nodded, walked forward, and placed the wine pot on the table.
As for the tense atmosphere in the venue and the lively events happening on the stage, Xuanyuan Yonghao didn’t seem to care much.
He watched Su Yan bend down to pour his wine, his lips curving into a smile.
As Su Yan was about to stand up, he grasped her fair hand.
Some wine spilled out of the cup in Su Yan’s hand.
He leaned closer, his voice gentle,
"What took you so long? Dilly-dallying."
She placed the wine cup on the table, her hand still being held.
Su Yan felt a gaze fixed on her from the side.
Turning her head, she saw it was the Eldest Prince’s man.
In the midst of this tugging and pulling, there was a pause.
Ouyang Ling’s gaze from the stage inadvertently swept over.
When she saw Su Yan, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
Wasn’t this the Maid she had bumped into before? She’s not dead?!
Ouyang Ling’s eyes narrowed, turning her gaze towards Xuanyuan Yonghao, sitting next to the Maid.
Originally, her desire for this marriage alliance was because she fancied Xuanyuan Yonghao.
Among the three Princes, he was the easiest to control.
Now, the man she fancied was flirting with a Maid who should have been dead, blatantly ignoring her.
Such disdain deserved punishment.
Especially that Maid, death would be too light a sentence for her crime.
As she thought this, a murderous look flashed in her eyes.
She dismounted from the White Tiger and patted its body, then abruptly yanked on the White Tiger’s fur.
The White Tiger instantly lost control in pain,
"Roar!!!"
The next second, it lunged towards the spot where Su Yan and Xuanyuan Yonghao were located.
Xiao Hua screamed in terror from within the Pearl Earrings,
"Ahhh!! Host! A tiger!"
This all happened so quickly, leaving no time for reaction.
Even Nantang didn’t manage to respond in time.
The two were about to be torn apart by the Fierce Tiger.
But the next second, Su Yan stood in front of Xuanyuan Yonghao.
Her expression unchanged, she picked up the plate in front of her, and with a clang, struck the roaring tiger on the head.
The Fierce Tiger that had been pouncing suddenly retracted several meters and stayed put, whimpering.
Everyone in the venue was stunned.
What happened to the White Tiger... Scared?
Then, everyone’s gaze turned once again to the Maid who dared strike the tiger.
Xuanyuan Yonghao was startled, then embraced Su Yan and burst out laughing.
After he had his laugh, he rested his head on Su Yan’s shoulder, his eyes closed, pretending to be shocked,
"That Fierce Tiger was extremely ferocious; I was indeed frightened."
His lips moved as if it was all true.
Su Yan looked at the person lying in her arms, pondered for a moment, and patted his back, comforting him,
"With me here, it won’t bite you."
Her tender voice was surprisingly reassuring.
