"Don't ask. They won't care. Only you can intervene in this matter."
When Shanghai Erjun said this, he actually lowered his head. This was because he had already begged his mother, but Shangguan Qingming was completely indifferent to this matter. This was because the woman who was whipping Shanghai Yun was someone the Shangguan family couldn't afford to offend at all.
It wasn't a matter of killing and robbing. It was just two girls fighting. The Shangguan family wouldn't interfere.
The reason why the person who whipped Shanghai Yun was so arrogant was because her identity was special. She was the niece of the new Gold City's City Lord. This also explained why those enforcers pretended not to see it. This niece was very different from Huangfu Xueli back then.
When Huangfu Tianheng was the City Lord here, Huangfu Xueli's greatest hobby was painting and embroidery. She didn't come out to cause trouble at all.
It was different now. The various large families used the incident with Du Feng to push Huangfu Tianheng away. They didn't expect that the new City Lord was much harder to get along with than Huangfu Tianheng. He didn't go out first and let the younger generations act tyrannically outside. He specialized in dealing with the young people of the various large families.
Everyone was in the World King Cultivation Realm and they were all girls. If they fought on the streets, it wouldn't be good for others to intervene. Especially the elders, it would be even more difficult for them to intervene. They could only hope that Shanghai Yun had the ability to protect herself.
In fact, this wasn't the first time something like this happened during Du Feng's seclusion. Many of the young people of the various large families were beaten, including Shanghai Erjun. They could only endure being injured by a member of the Primordial God Race of the same rank.
This time, Shanghai Yun was definitely the one who lasted longer among the people who were beaten. She didn't suffer any serious injuries, but her face was slashed and her clothes were torn. This was a kind of humiliation to her character.
"Tch, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family is only so-so."
It was because she heard that Shanghai Yun's talent was outstanding that Xiahou Shuying came to find trouble. She wanted to strike a blow to the confidence of the great clans and make them submit to her uncle, who was also the new city lord, Xiahou Huangyan.
After pushing Huangfu Tianheng away, the middle-aged man with the small mustache thought that his Senior Brother, who was Qiu Daozhang's eldest disciple, had returned to the Gold City to become the City Lord. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Huangyan appeared. Xiahou Huangyan was the previous City Lord of Yellow Sand City.
To put it bluntly, the positions of the Golden City Lord and the Yellow Sand City Lord had been swapped. Although they were both City Lords, Yellow Sand City's conditions were still slightly worse than Gold City's.
Therefore, Huangfu Tianheng was equivalent to being demoted, while Xiahou Huangyan was equivalent to being promoted. After he arrived at Jin City, the wind vane immediately changed. The large families, who were used to living like princes, now had to swallow their pride.
That was because Xiahou Huangyan had not come alone. He had brought his entire family with him. The one who was whipping Shangguan Yun was his niece, Xiahou Shuying. The one who had injured Shanghai Erjun was his nephew, Xiahou Xiongying. Just the nephews, nieces, nephews, nieces and the like were enough to teach these young people of the same generation a lesson.
Currently, those clans that had submitted to City Lord Xiahou were fine, but for those who didn't submit to him obediently, their descendants would be taught a lesson. This Xiahou Huangyan was truly resourceful. He didn't provoke the various Patriarchs, but he specialized in teaching their descendants a lesson.
Actually, it was a good thing for the youngsters to be taught a lesson or two occasionally and to dampen their spirits. But to be beaten up frequently like this, it would make the various large families lose all their face. All the youngsters were beaten up to the point that they didn't dare to go out on the streets. Yet, they didn't suffer any serious injuries, and it didn't violate the Gold City's laws.
If it was against the Gold City's laws, then everyone could unite and protest together. Yet, they didn't violate the Gold City's laws. Furthermore, the law enforcers turned a blind eye to it. The youngsters could only endure the beating.
"Slap …"
Just as Du Feng was listening to Erjun's narration of the incident, Shanghai Yun received another blow to her face. An obvious bloodstain appeared on her delicate face. Although it was only a superficial wound, it was especially glaring.
"You …"
Shanghai Yun was so angry that she almost drew her sword, but she held it in. Because if she drew her sword, it would be equivalent to initiating a fight, and she would be beaten even more badly. Right now, the other party was using her sleeves to hit her, so it wasn't considered using a weapon.
That Xiahou Shuying indeed had a set of skills. Her sleeves and braids were both powerful weapons. Her braids weren't whips, but two braids that she combed at the back of her head. When a large amount of hair was braided together, its lethality wasn't any weaker than a real whip.
Using the sleeves and braids together, Shangguan Yun was only able to parry and was unable to fight back. As long as she didn't practice these two things, she would be at a disadvantage. If she took out a weapon, it would be against the rules. But if she didn't use a weapon, she would be beaten.
Shanghai Yun used her arms to block the attack, but her entire body was bruised by the other party's braids. She could make use of her body movement technique to keep moving, so as to avoid being beaten a few times.
"How should I deal with this matter?"
Du Feng looked at Shanghai Erjun awkwardly. He couldn't deal with this matter either. If the other party was a man, he could still take it on. But Xiahou Shuying was a woman. As a man, he couldn't take this fight on behalf of Shanghai Yun.
"There are two ways. You can choose."
Shanghai Erjun gave two choices. One was to be Shanghai Yun's partner, so he could intervene in this matter. According to the Gold City's laws, if his partner was beaten, he could take care of this matter. It wasn't considered as initiating a provocation. Du Feng obviously didn't agree with this method. He believed that the Alchemy Emperor wouldn't agree with it either.
The other method was for Shanghai Erjun to transfer his relationship with Du Feng to Shanghai Yun. In this way, Du Feng would become the guest of Yun. If the host was beaten, he could also help as a guest. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party's guest could also help.
"Let's transfer!"
Du Feng thought for a while and chose the second method. Again, he could not forgive Shanghai Yun, but others couldn't beat her.
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Shanghai Erjun's eyes lit up. This fool didn't think that after the guest was transferred to Shanghai Yun, what if he was beaten? According to the Gold City's rules, the guest could only be transferred once a year. If he transferred it to Shanghai Yun now, he would have to wait until the same day next year to transfer it back.
After the guest was transferred, the badge on Du Feng's chest immediately changed. Although the word "Shangguan" was still written, it changed from gold to pink. It meant that the host he was affiliated to changed from a man to a woman.
