Nangong Yi separated from Saknu and leapt back among his own. His gaze happened to slid towards Cai Wei, that glance, as if traversing mountains and rivers, silently conveyed to her - be at peace.
Upon seeing this, Cai Wei calmed down. She didn’t know what Nangong Yi planned to negotiate with Saknu, she just trusted him. From the moment he defied the Empress, was determined to face Tianjizi with her, risking their lives together, she started to trust him. Without him promising her anything, only a look or a word from him, she already chose to believe unconditionally.
He asked her to be at peace, so she would. Now let’s see how things will unfold today.
Nangong Yi discreetly looked at Cai Wei again. His eyes grew cold when they turned to Saknu, "Saknu, are you trampling on my Great Jin’s territory by plundering innocent girls, treating our Great Jin’s national laws as nothing? Are you looking down on the people of my Great Jin, or do you want to provoke a dispute between the two countries?"
Saknu gritted his teeth, laughed sarcastically: "King Qin, don’t try to shift the blame to me. This woman was bought by me from her parents with real gold coins, she is mine now. Whatever I want to do with her is none of your business!"
Nangong Yi’s eyes grew colder, he sneered: "If this is the case, do you have the contract signed with her parents? How much money did you spend? Who was the middleman? When did you buy her? Does she want this herself?"
Saknu was taken aback, he paused for a moment and then angrily said: "This is my private affair, why should I tell you? It isn’t any of your business!"
Nangong Yi pointed to Cai Wei and coldly said: "She is my disciple, there is a bond between my student and I. Tell me, is this any of my business?"
Saknu was stunned for a moment, then, he burst into a big laugh and rudely shouted: "Don’t tell me you have lecherous thoughts about my woman who is beautiful just because you are her ’master’! Let me tell you, Saknu, I don’t fancy many women. This lifetime, I fancy only this one. Even if God Kalun wants to take her away from me, it won’t happen. Let alone you. You better give up this thought immediately. I have claimed this woman!!"
Nangong Yi sneered, "Then, let’s see if you have the ability."
After finishing, his gaze drifted to the Qing County official who was nervously standing by the side, he angrily said: "County Official! Under your jurisdiction, a foreigner is arrogantly acting in my Great Jin. Shall I charge you with negligence or treason?"
Upon hearing this, the Qing County official fell to his knees with a ’splash’, kowtowed and cried out: "Your Highness King Qin spare my life, I will handle this personally and will provide Your Highness King Qin with a satisfactory answer."
Having said that, he turned to Saknu’s mother and shouted: "Madam Xiao, all these years I have treated you with the utmost respect and courtesy. I would appreciate it if you do not put me in a difficult position!"
Madam Xiao had already heard about Nangong Yi’s identity from others. She was shocked and worried about the trouble her son had caused. She went to Saknu’s side and whispered: "Son, we are still on the territory of the Great Jin after all. It better to avoid hostility with the royal family of the Great Jin."
Saknu laughed contemptuously, arrogantly said: "So what if we become hostile? Do you think I am afraid of them?"
Madam Xiao whispered: "Of course, my son is not afraid. But you have already sent the marriage proposal to the Emperor of Great Jin for marriage with King Qin’s younger sister. If you antagonize King Qin for a trivial woman, I fear this will be detrimental to your grand plan. It’s a futile effort and I urge you to think twice before you act!"
