The male lead finally realized something was wrong!
He turned his head and looked around, seeing everyone looking at him with strange expressions, as if they were watching a good show.
No matter how slow he was, he should have realized what happened!
The male lead's eyes narrowed, and his heart suddenly sank.
Unwilling to give up, holding on to a last shred of hope, he tentatively asked Zhao Yi, "Your Highness, is Donor Su your fiancée?"
Before Zhao Yi could speak, the female lead interjected!
She suddenly seemed to remember that Zhao Yi was there, reached back, and pulled out the maid Xiaocui, whose face was swollen half like a pig's head!
Xiaocui covered her face, hiding behind the female lead, glaring at Zhao Yi, but feared Qing Feng's methods and dared not say a word.
Su Qianqian, however, was not afraid of Qing Feng!
She glared at Zhao Yi, with stern eyes and forbidding expression, having lost all the gentleness and tenderness from when she faced the male lead earlier.
The female lead glared at Zhao Yi, angrily saying, "Zhao Yi, why did you have someone hit Xiaocui? Hurry and apologize to her and hand over the person who hit her, or don't blame me for turning against you!"
Finishing what she said, Su Qianqian suddenly noticed the Golden Dragon Sword in Qing Feng's hands, her eyes slightly brightened, and then the light quickly vanished.
She continued glaring at Zhao Yi, "And also, were you bullying this master just now? Hurry up and apologize to him! The master is a high monk, and you're just a wayward child reeking of copper, where did you get the courage to humiliate him?"
After saying all this, the female lead lifted her head, speaking in a charitable tone, "If you do as I ask, I might consider accepting that Golden Dragon Sword!"
Zhao Yi still said nothing.
It's not that he didn't want to speak, but rather he didn't know what to say anymore.
Zhao Yi's feelings at the moment can only be described with an old saying from past life on the internet—Turtle ran away from school, can't hold the laugh (can't stop laughing)!
Where did this female lead get such a thick face?
Who gave her the confidence to think she could demand things like this?
Zhao Yi remained silent, but the male lead couldn't take it anymore!
Originally, he still held a sliver of hope in his heart. Upon hearing the female lead's words, his entire heart sank immediately!
A disaster for no reason!
The male lead may be matured early for his age, but he's still young and hasn't built a deep reserve of composure.
Upon hearing the female lead's words, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Amitabha!"
The male lead put his hands together, said to the female lead, "Donor Su, you misunderstood! There is merely some misunderstanding between me and His Highness the Sixth Prince; the Highness bought something I needed, and I just wanted to ask the Highness to part with it. The Highness did not humiliate me."
The male lead felt he had made himself quite clear.
On one hand, he was telling Zhao Yi that he had nothing to do with Su Qianqian.
On the other hand, it was to remind Su Qianqian that they weren't that familiar, so she shouldn't randomly claim connections.
But, Su Qianqian clearly didn't see it this way!
She, after hearing the male lead's words, confidently said to Zhao Yi, "Didn't you hear what the master said? Hurry and return what belongs to him!"
Male lead: "..."
Is that really what he meant?
The male lead did indeed want to get that dead Dragon Egg from Zhao Yi.
But he absolutely did not want it this way!
Couldn't see that the people watching the commotion around were all giving him different looks?
What would the Sixth Prince think hearing these words?
Thinking of this, the male lead turned and looked at Zhao Yi standing to the side.
Sure enough!
Zhao Yi's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot!
"Wretched woman!"
Zhao Yi looked at Su Qianqian, his expression cold and his gaze icy.
The female lead was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Zhao Yi to dare speak to her this way!
She widened her eyes, in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Zhao Yi ignored her and turned to the maid Qing Feng, saying, "I bought this sword to give it to you, your 'Dragon Flood Sword Technique' matches this Dragon and Snake Sword very well!"
Hearing this, Qing Feng's cold little face slightly froze, a flash of disbelief in her indifferent eyes, but still showed no response.
Neither accepting nor rejecting it!
Qing Feng made no move, but the female lead couldn't hold back anymore.
Su Qianqian seemed like she had suffered a great humiliation, glaring at Zhao Yi, "Zhao Yi, what did you just say? Even if you knelt down to apologize to me, I don't want that broken sword!"
Zhao Yi didn't acknowledge her, stated expressionlessly, "I will send someone to the Su Family to cancel the engagement, Miss Su, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions!"
With those words, he swung his sleeves and stepped towards the exit of the inn.
"Wait a minute!"
The male and female leads spoke out together to stop Zhao Yi.
Female lead: "Zhao Yi, if you walk out that door today, don't ever come looking for me again!"
Male lead: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I really have nothing to do with Donor Su, please part with that Dragon Egg!"
Zhao Yi paused his steps for a moment, then sneered and strode out the door!
The maid Qing Feng holding the Golden Dragon Sword in one hand and a sandalwood box in the other hand, followed Zhao Yi slowly.
The female lead's face instantly turned black!
Zhao Yi actually made her lose face in front of so many people, he must never step foot into her home again in the future!
The male lead's expression was ugly!
That dead Dragon Egg was very important to him!
Having now angered Zhao Yi, it wouldn't be easy to obtain this treasure in the future!
Amitabha!
The male lead put his hands together, forcibly suppressing the raging fire of anger in his heart.
His cultivation was still shallow, without deep breathing skills.
Losing the precious treasure now threw his emotions into chaos, his obsessions nearly driving him into a frenzy!
The female lead still had no idea what had happened.
Ignoring the teasing glances around her, she turned and softly said to the male lead, "Master, is that box important to you? Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get it for you!"
Amitabha!
The male lead couldn't help but internally recite another Buddhist chant!
Please don't help anymore!
If not for the precepts of the Buddhist Sect, the male lead might have cursed out loud!
It was all because of this woman!
If it weren't for her, the Sixth Prince Zhao Yi wouldn't have snatched that dead Dragon Egg!
If it weren't for her adding fuel to the fire at the end, he might have been able to persuade Zhao Yi to part with it!
No wonder the senior monks in the temple say women are tigers.
Indeed a significant misfortune!
The male lead put his hands together, gave the female lead a deep bow, "Thank you, Donor Su, for your kind intentions, but I can handle this matter myself, no need to trouble you!"
With that, the male lead took steps to leave.
He realized that since becoming associated with this Su Family's female donor, his luck had started going downhill.
First, getting resented by the Sixth Prince Zhao Yi, and now being ridiculed, almost resulting in complete humiliation.
If he continued to be entangled with her, who knows what greater calamity would come!
Of all methods, retreat is best!
He can't afford to provoke, but can he not avoid?
Su Qianqian saw the male lead turning to leave and instinctively reached out to grab the hem of his monk robe.
Rip!
Whether it was the poor quality of the robe or the female lead's excessive strength.
With just one grab, Su Qianqian actually tore open a large hole in the male lead's monk robe, exposing the underwear underneath!
The male lead's body instantly stiffened, paralyzed in shock!
