Well! Ying Luohuan curled her lips. To be honest, a mother was always the most enthusiastic about her children's marriage. It was the same no matter which family it was. Hearing her father's words, Ying Luohuan carefully sorted out Niu Youde and found that he was really suitable to be her son-in-law. The more she thought about it, the more she found that he was the most suitable person. It was just that she felt a little disgusted that he had kidnapped an actress. However, compared with the trouble if she was taken away by another family, that was nothing at all. Such a big family didn't need an actress to stand up for herself. It was just a matter of life and death. It was easy to deal with.
Some things were fine if one did not think about it, but once the first impression was the strongest, it would become one's own.
"How can my daughter marry just anyone? I have to look at her first. What if the rumors are wrong? What if she has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes?" Ying Luohuan said stubbornly, but her tone softened. "Niu Youde is a subordinate of the Left Military Governor. Is it appropriate for him to marry someone from the Ying family?"
Ying Jiuguang said, "Normally, it would indeed be inappropriate. There's no reason for the Ying family's daughter to be in such a hurry. However, it's different now. Since Ruyi was humiliated by Niu Youde in the Left Military Governor's hands, marrying Niu Youde is the most suitable choice. For the sake of my granddaughter's lifelong happiness, I'll ask His Majesty about this. After marrying the daughter of the Ying family, it's no longer suitable for me to stay in the Left Military Governor's position. I'll also take this opportunity to ask for Ruyi.
Ying Luo clasped her hands together and intertwined her fingers in front of her chest. She already looked rather tempted. Thinking about it, it seemed to be the case.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan released his hands and turned around to leave.
Heavenly King Ying was taken aback for a moment. Then, he shouted, "Little girl, if you have any opinion, just say it!"
Ying Luohuan, who was walking at a brisk pace, left a sentence behind and ran away. "I'll contact Zhan Ping first. Tell him to be polite when he sees Niu Youde. Don't ruin our relationship. Otherwise, it'll be awkward when we meet in the future."
Heavenly King Ying shook his head speechlessly. This was a promise.
Zhan Ping was Zhan Ruyi's father, Ying Luohuan's husband, and Heavenly King Ying's son-in-law. He was also Heavenly King Ying's trusted subordinate, and the reason why this family was able to come together.
Zhan Ping had followed the Black Dragon Division's Deputy Chief Zhen Boyue to Planet Six-Finger. Although Zhan Ping had some status, it was not up to him to interfere with the Left Inspectorate.
The group descended from the sky and landed outside the mountain gate of Six Fingers School. Their gazes were all fixed on the flagpole within the protective formation, staring at the person hanging on the flagpole.
Zhan Ruyi had been hanging on the flagpole for more than a day, which also meant that he had been crying for more than a day. His throat was already hoarse from crying, and his tears had already dried up. Yet, he was still wailing on the flagpole.
Zhan Ping was a gentle and calm person with a gentle and elegant appearance. This was probably the reason why King Ying was at ease to marry his daughter to him. He didn't have to worry that his daughter would be bullied. However, when he saw his daughter's reaction, his expression was still somewhat frightening. His face was ashen, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. His killing intent had been aroused.
Ever since she was young, he couldn't bear to lay a finger on his daughter. Now, she was being abused so badly. He almost couldn't recognize that the woman with curly hair and a swollen, blackened face was his beautiful daughter.
His two subordinates were also furious. They knew that their young mistress was down on her luck, but they didn't expect it to be this bad!
Although Zhan Ping had the ability to destroy the entire Black Tiger Flag by himself, there were many things he couldn't do in reality. He didn't have the right to act presumptuously in front of the Left Inspectorate. If Boyue hadn't brought him here, he wouldn't even have been able to enter the Black Tiger Flag. He didn't have the ability to change the rules, not even his father-in-law, Heavenly King Ying!
There was another important reason that forced him to suppress his anger. Not long ago, he received a notice from his wife, Ying Luohuan. This notice made him very uncomfortable. Due to certain reasons, it was inconvenient for the aristocratic families to have more children. He only had one daughter, and this was using his only daughter as a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts. However, this was Heavenly King Ying's decision. He couldn't oppose it and could only accept it.
Sensing that Bo Yue was watching his reaction from the side, Zhan Ping exhaled deeply and calmed his emotions. He shifted his gaze away from the flagpole and stared at the few people walking towards the mountain gates, especially Miao Yi, who was walking towards them from the center.
He still had to give face to the Vice Commandant. Moreover, he was his superior. Naturally, Miao Yi had to personally lead his men to welcome him.
"Greetings, Vice Commandant Boyue!" Miao Yi came forward and led his men to greet him. As for the others he didn't know, Miao Yi cupped his fists in greeting as the 'host'.
Qu and Mu, who were accompanying him, looked at Boyue with an indescribable expression. However, Boyue was serious.
"Mm!" Boyue nodded. He didn't introduce Zhan Ping and the others for the time being. It wasn't convenient to do so in front of so many people either. If word got out that the Ying family's men could enter the Left Inspectorate as they pleased, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Under Miao Yi's lead, the group entered the grand defensive formation and entered the Grand Commandant's temporary residence.
As soon as they arrived at the main hall, Boyue raised his hand to stop them, indicating that they weren't in a hurry to drink tea. He gestured, "Everyone else, please leave first."
Miao Yi was taken aback. He quickly turned around and gestured for his personal guard, Yan Xiu, to leave together.
Zhan Ping also waved his hand, and the two subordinates accompanying him also left. Miao Yi noticed this scene, and Zhan Ping was already speaking up, "Commander Niu, shouldn't you put my daughter down as well?"
'My daughter?' Miao Yi asked hesitantly, "Vice Commandant Boyue, this is?"
Only the three of them were left in the hall. Boyue smiled bitterly and said, "This is Zhan Ruyi's father, Marquis Zhan Ping, one of the Heavenly Court's seventy-two Marquises."
"Oh!" Miao Yi was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Zhan Ruyi's father to personally come here. He cupped his fists and said, "So it's Marquis Zhan himself. My apologies."
Boyue said, "Alright! Let's put her down first. "
Miao Yi said, "Vice Commandant Boyue, it's not that I don't want to let her go, but this woman is like a rabid dog. Since the beginning of the Purgatory, she has been biting me and wouldn't let me go. She's always been the one provoking me. She chased me from the Purgatory all the way to Dong Hua Manor, and then from Dong Hua Manor to the Black Dragon Division. What the hell is this? If I let her go now, she might immediately come after me with all her might! I can't just sit here and wait for my death! "
He was criticizing Zhan Ruyi right in front of Zhan Ping. Zhan Ping was expressionless.
Boyue said, "She's already been tormented by you. Even if I put her down, she won't have the strength to fight anymore."
Miao Yi said, "She'll regain her strength sooner or later. I don't think she'll just let this go. If she keeps going on like this, when will it ever end? I've been tolerating her because of her background. But if she continues to be so unreasonable, I'll have a hard time dealing with her in the future. "What he was implying was that he wouldn't be polite anymore.
Boyue thought to himself. Would Zhan Ruyi still have the face to stay in Blue Tiger Banner?
Zhan Ping said, "Don't worry. When I return this time, I'll discipline her more." He was sad to let his daughter hang around for even a moment longer. Moreover, he knew that it was his daughter who was being unreasonable in the first place. He really couldn't agree with the way the Madam of his family disciplined her. However, the consequences of not being in the right family was that he didn't have the final say in the family. Others could have multiple wives, but he couldn't touch other women. It was clear from this.
Boyue said, "Stop messing around. Let her go."
"Yes!" Miao Yi looked very reluctant as he took out the Star Bell and gave the order.
Soon, the sound of sobbing approached from outside. It didn't sound like a sob anymore. It was hard to tell what it was. Her voice was hoarse and messy.
Zhan Ruyi was helped in by Qu Yahong. It was no different from being carried in. His eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
Boyue felt his teeth ache as he looked at Miao Yi. A pretty girl had been tormented to such a state.
Zhan Ping quickly went up to take his daughter. After invoking his arts to investigate, he removed the seal on Zhan Ruyi's body. However, it was useless. Zhan Ruyi was still howling. She was so sad that she wanted to kill herself with her palm. Fortunately, Zhan Ping was quick enough to stop her.
He couldn't bear to see his daughter cry anymore. He chopped at the back of Zhan Ruyi's neck and knocked her out. She fell limp in his arms.
After crying for more than a day, Zhan Ruyi finally stopped.
He could undo the seal on his daughter's body, but the grief that had invaded Zhan Ruyi's seven emotions and six sensory pleasures was simply too strong. Miao Yi had gone too far. An entire bottle of liquefied grief had been consumed. It was enough to make Zhan Ruyi die of grief.
Zhan Ping turned back and said, "Vice Manager Bo, I'm afraid the grief in my daughter's body will take a few months to be completely removed. I would like to ask for a few months of leave on her behalf. Once she has recovered, she will come back to report. Is that alright?"
Boyue nodded. Zhan Ping didn't say anything else. He put Zhan Ruyi into the beast sack and took his leave. There was nothing to be missed here.
He was one of the Heavenly Court's seventy-two Marquises after all. Miao Yi and Boyue personally saw Zhan Ping and the others off at the mountain gates.
After exiting the mountain gates, Zhan Ping abruptly turned around and stared deeply into Miao Yi's eyes. His gaze was deep, and gave off a terrifying feeling.
Miao Yi wasn't afraid. He cupped his fists and sent him off. Zhan Ping's expression was calm. He turned around and quickly flew away.
Watching him leave, Boyue said calmly, "Niu Youde, you went a little overboard this time. I'm afraid it will be as you wish. Zhan Ruyi probably won't be returning to the Black Dragon Agency."
'This is what I want!' Miao Yi didn't beat around the bush. He said bluntly, "Vice Manager Bo, I have no other choice. One of us must leave. Otherwise, we will have to fight to the death. I don't have the ability to transfer her away. I'm afraid I will have to follow you for a long time. In that case, I can only let her go."
"Haha!" Boyue chuckled. 'Follow me for a long time?' Miao Yi liked the sound of that. He placed his hands on his abdomen and let out a sigh. Leaning forward and backward, he looked up at the sky and sighed, "Let's go. It's good that she's gone. Peace and quiet!"
Peace and quiet? It would be strange if he could.
A few days later, Miao Yi was cultivating in peace when Yang Zhaoqing suddenly came to report that Zhan Ruyi's mother was here. She said she wanted to see Commander Niu.
Miao Yi stopped cultivating and walked out of the room. He frowned and said, "Zhan Ruyi's mother? Heavenly King Ying's daughter? Why is she here to see me? Is she here to avenge her daughter? "
Yang Zhaoqing shook his head. "I don't know. She probably wouldn't go so far as to seek revenge. No matter how bold the Ying Clan is, they wouldn't be so bold as to come to the Imperial Guards and cause trouble."
Miao Yi asked, "Are you sure it's Zhan Ruyi's mother?"
Yang Zhaoqing replied, "I can't be sure. However, I did see the Imperial Mandate Jade Archive when the guards sent a message. I don't think it's fake. She's currently being stopped outside."
