"Hmph."
Dongfang Yan scoffed coldly. She held the red whip in her hand and stood in front of Gu Ruoyun with a stern look on her face. She raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I don't care who you work for! As the General of Dongfang City and a member of the Dongfang family, I have the right to punish you! You can't be blamed for this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for barging into the Dongfang family's forbidden grounds. Furthermore, I've caught you. So, I advise you to obediently surrender without a fight and spare yourself some physical pain. "
Gu Ruoyun narrowed her eyes and curled her lips into a smile that did not reach her eyes, "And if... I don't?"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Whoosh!
A long red whip was flung towards Gu Ruoyun. Her attack was extremely vicious and was aimed at the young girl's vitals. If this whip were to land, it was likely that she would be severely crippled even if she did not die.
Gu Ruoyun's eyes darkened as she replied coldly, "Is this how the members of the Dongfang family use their public office to avenge private wrongs? Since that's the case, I'll teach her a lesson on behalf of that old man... "
Boom!
A flame rose from Gu Ruoyun's body and charged towards Dongfang Yan.
Dongfang Yan was shocked. She never thought that this woman would dare to defy an arrest in the Dongfang family home! After all, in Dongfang City, aside from the Master and the Madam, the members of the law-enforcement team were the highest of all. Hence, there were times when she would not even give the Young Master any face.
How many years has it been?
How many years has it been since anyone has dared to defy an arrest from the law-enforcement team? Even if this woman belongs to the Young Master, she must die here today!
Dongfang Yan tilted her body at the thought of this and evaded the oncoming flames.
Just as she was about to attack, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. Thus, the flames that she had dodged coincidentally landed on the old man's white robes. With a whoosh, the old man's robes were ignited.
Dongfang Yan was in a daze and Lin Shao was shocked. Even Gu Ruoyun could not help but blink as she stared in astonishment at the old man who had appeared out of nowhere...
"Who, who dares to set this Master on fire?"
An enraged roar sounded from within the flames. Then, an old man with tattered clothes and a head full of ash who looked as if he had been struck by lightning staggered out in front of everyone.
At this moment, the old man's eyes were filled with rage as he gritted his teeth and glared at everyone present.
"Who can tell this Clan Head who set the fire?"
The dumbfounded Dongfang Yan immediately regained her senses upon hearing this. Her heart filled with joy as she hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Master, the fire was started by this woman."
Damned girl, weren't you very arrogant just now? This time, you've created a heaven-defying disaster. Even if the Young Master is biased towards you, the Family Head will never let you off!
"Is what she said true?"
The old man suppressed the raging anger in his heart and glared fiercely at Gu Ruoyun.
It was a pity that the white hair and long beard that he had grown for so many years were all burned away in an instant. As for his clothes, they were sewn by Yu'er when she was at home. He had always treasured them dearly, but now, they were all gone!
Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose. "I think the one who set fire to Dongfang Yan was Dongfang Yan. You must have been too harsh on her. She has long hated you to the core. She just so happened to see you approaching, so she purposely hid herself so that she could get back at you."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Dongfang Yan was so angry that she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
She has seen shameless people in her life but she has never seen anyone so shameless as to actually shift the blame onto her. However, based on the Master's wisdom, he would never believe such a lowly lie.
