Hong Miner felt helpless. She knew Ling Xiao's temper. He was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
She did not want to offend Ling Xiao because of this girl.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, this girl's family was much more valuable to Jihyun Of Silla than Ling Xiao.
Therefore, she had no choice but to offend Ling Xiao today.
"That's right. You can't touch this woman!"
Hong Min 'er nodded.
Her tone was firm and unyielding. It was as though Ling Xiao had to do as Hong Miner said.
This tone made Ling Xiao uncomfortable.
"Even Chen Canglan of Jihyun Of Silla doesn't dare to talk to me like this. You're just her strategist. I respect you, but I'm not afraid of you!
I hate it when people order me around. I hope there won't be a next time! "
Ling Xiao's voice was cold and firm.
Upon hearing this, Hong Miner frowned. Did Ling Xiao really think he was someone important?
Jihyun Of Silla treated you well because she wanted to use you.
Now, your value is obviously not comparable to that girl's family. Why should she give you face?
She sneered in her heart and said, "I don't dare to say that I'm ordering you around, but it's not that far off. After all, you're a Grand Lord trained by Her Highness Jihyun Of Silla.
It's not too much to ask you to let someone go, right? "
"Did you know that she attacked us with the Snake Awl?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Yes!"
Hong Miner nodded.
"Did you know that she wanted me to kneel down and become her slave?"
"Yes!"
"Then did you know that she wanted to send my friend to the brothel?"
"Yes!"
"Very good. So you knew everything. That's good!
You knew, but you still came to plead for her.
It seems like you think that I'm easier to bully than she is, right? "
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes. Now that things had come to this, he could not admit defeat.
If he bowed down in front of Hong Miner, such things would happen more often in the future.
Therefore, he had to display his strength and willpower.
Only in this way could he stand tall in front of Jihyun Of Silla.
"You're right. In the balance of power, you're not as important as her, much less her family."
Hong Miner did not deny it. "You should know your place. Don't cause trouble for Her Highness Jihyun Of Silla."
"Am I weightless? Today, I'll add some weight to you! "
Ling Xiao sneered and raised his hand to slap the young girl's face.
"Humans are not animals!
There was no need to compromise on anything!
It seems like you haven't figured out my character! "
When the loud slap was heard, Ling Xiao looked at Hong Miner coldly.
He was giving Hong Miner a choice.
They were his enemies.
Or continue to be his partner for the sake of mutual benefits!
He wanted to tell Hong Miner that he was not an insignificant chess piece that could be discarded at any time.
"Humans have to pay for what they've done!"
As he spoke, Ling Xiao's slap landed on her face again.
He slapped her ten times.
Every slap was loud and clear.
When the slaps landed on the young girl's face, Hong Miner's expression turned ugly.
Inside the restaurant, there was a deathly silence.
Who was that young girl?
She was the fourteenth prince's cousin, Noble Consort Jiu Hua's maternal family!
Although she was not a member of the royal family, she was a member of the royal family and had a close relationship with the fourteenth prince.
The young man really did slap her. This slap was not only aimed at the young girl's face.
It was aimed at the fourteenth prince's face!
Noble Consort Jiu Hua's face!
Hong Miner's face!
And Jihyun Of Silla's face!
The crowd was completely dumbfounded. They had never seen such a crazy person.
The young girl's face was completely disfigured. However, she was not concerned about her face.
She was concerned about her own face.
She was a member of the royal family, Noble Consort Jiu Hua's maternal family. Many people wanted to curry favor with her. Who would dare to hit her?
However, this young man did not hesitate to slap her ten times today.
Until now, she still could not believe that this was the truth.
Her somewhat frightened and dazed eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"Ling Xiao, you shouldn't have hit her! If you hit her, Jihyun Of Silla won't be able to protect you!
Not to mention the fourteenth prince, Noble Consort Jiu Hua's title is second only to the queen.
Now, she's deeply favored by the king.
If she were to say something to you, you wouldn't be able to survive in the imperial city. "
Hong Miner's voice was somewhat frightening and cold.
Although she still had a noble air about her, one could feel that she was burning with rage.
Ling Xiao had offended her.
He did not give her any face at all. This was something she could not accept no matter what.
"So what?"
Ling Xiao looked at Hong Miner and said, "So you're saying that I should kneel before her, lick her shoes, and become her slave?
What a joke! "
Ling Xiao's voice was arrogant and unruly, cold and awe-inspiring.
This was an innate pride that was integrated into one's soul.
A proud soul would not allow others to humiliate him.
"You might not like to hear this, but this is the imperial city, not the Eight Immortals County. Here, you're nothing.
Even if she really wants you to kneel and lick her shoes, you should listen.
Only then will you have a chance to live.
You should know that in the imperial city, there are many men who want to lick her shoes but don't have the chance. "
"Haha."
Ling Xiao could not help but laugh coldly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Hong Miner asked with a frown.
"I'm laughing at you. Didn't you find out when you investigated me? When I first set foot in the Eight Immortals County, someone warned me as well.
But I didn't listen.
What happened in the end?
Those people were all trampled under my feet and became my stepping stones to improve myself!
To put it bluntly, the imperial city is just a slightly bigger Eight Immortals County.
The Chen Country is not as strong as the Volcano Country. Moreover, there are at least tens of thousands of countries like it in the Western Region.
What a joke. Do you think this is a scary place?
I'd like to see what I can do after I hit her. "
"Lunatic!"
Hong Miner was silent for a moment before she said, "To think that Her Highness Jihyun Of Silla and I had high hopes for you and let you become the Suzerain of the Eight Immortals County. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn."
"That's funny. What difference does it make whether Jihyun Of Silla gives me the position of Suzerain of the Eight Immortals County?
That place is already my territory. If you don't believe me, you can ask your spies and see if they are regretting being locked in a steel cage. "
Ling Xiao stared at Hong Miner and said, "I didn't mention this before because I wanted to cooperate with Jihyun Of Silla. But what you did today made me very unhappy.
Let's postpone the cooperation.
Because you'll be responsible for the consequences of today's incident!
If Jihyun Of Silla still wants to cooperate with me, she'll have to pay a better price. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it. "
"You're still in the mood to talk about cooperation with me? Do you know that even if Jihyun Of Silla and I don't pursue the matter, you're dead meat after hitting her! "
