Chapter 1939 Biting Back!
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze!
A chill surged out, and the temperature almost dropped to the freezing point!
The air seemed to freeze. There was silence, almost suffocating.
What he meant was that if Chu Liuyue refused to give up Peach Blossom Dock, the Yi family would kill everyone here!
The smile on Chu Liuyue's face gradually faded. There seemed to be a layer of frost between her eyebrows that was bone-chilling. "Master Yi, are you threatening me?"
Yi Wentao shook his head. "No, I'm very sincere in discussing this business with you, Princess Consort."
He sounded so sincere, and his expression was also sincere. Those who didn't know better would really think that he was full of sincerity!
Chu Liuyue sized him up and smiled instead of being angry. "It seems that Master Yi is very confident in himself."
Yi Wentao nodded slightly and said tactfully and bluntly, "I've never done anything I'm not confident about."
The people I brought are the strongest people in the Yi family! Coupled with the cooperation of the Nan family, dealing with Peach Blossom Dock is even less of a problem.
He knew that Rong Xiu was powerful and must've been prepared beforehand. But since he planned to make a move this time, he wouldn't allow himself to fail! Otherwise, all of them wouldn't end well!
He gazed steadily at Chu Liuyue. "What do you think of my conditions, Princess Consort?"
The corners of Chu Liuyue's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. Her red lips parted slightly as she spat out a single word to express her sincerest feelings. "Bullsh*t!"
…
Dead silence.
Nobody expected Chu Liuyue to say that. This was simply tearing off the other party's face, throwing it to the ground, and stepping on it!
She really didn't give the other party any face!
The Nan family was shocked. Why is Chu Liuyue so unreasonable?
The Yi family was also shocked. What did she just say?!
Even Yi Wentao's handsome and elegant face twisted for a moment when he heard this.
He came from an excellent family and had enjoyed a smooth journey. When had he ever been humiliated like this in front of others?
It was extremely unpleasant and humiliating!
On the other hand, the guards standing at the side revealed looks of admiration. Master Yue is indeed Master Yue! How domineering! She has to be like this toward such shameless and imperious things!
Yi Wentao took a deep breath and finally regained his expression. As he suppressed his anger, he glanced at Rong Xiu. "Your Grace, I'm here sincerely to discuss this business. Isn't the Princess Consort going overboard?"
Rong Xiu's thin lips curled up into a smile. "I'm sorry, Yue'er has always been straightforward. There's nothing wrong with that, and she always likes to tell the truth. Master Yi is magnanimous. I believe you won't fuss over such a small matter."
Yi Wentao was speechless! His face was red and white.
Chu Liuyue gave her man a thumbs-up in her heart again. Impressive—how impressive. What is killing without bloodshed? This is it!
Each word was almost like a sharp blade, cutting Yi Wentao's hypocritical air into pieces! After losing face in front of so many people, it would probably be difficult to salvage it!
"You—" Yi Wentao held his breath.
He had just said one word when he was interrupted. "Master, I've brought them here."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Cen Yi had returned. Behind him were a few guards from Yue Manor, followed by Luo Yan and the other three elders.
Ever since Luo Yan confessed, Chu Liuyue didn't make things difficult for them anymore. Instead, she let her subordinates feed them well.
The few of them had even changed into clean new clothes.
From the outside, apart from their pale faces and dispirited spirits, they seemed no different from ordinary people.
However, everyone present was quite strong. Soon, someone saw the problem.
"…Why are they so weak? Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any force fluctuations coming from their bodies!" asked someone from the Nan family in a low voice.
Weak? That was very understandable. Most likely, they had used torture.
However, there was no force fluctuation coming from their bodies, which was really strange!
Even through the barrier, they weren't particularly far apart. They should be able to sense the fluctuations!
Nan Yifan's heart sank, and he immediately shouted in a low voice, "Shangguan Yue, what have you done to them?!"
Chu Liuyue said unhurriedly, "Master Nan, what's the hurry? I just gave them some medicine so that they could stay here quietly. However, isn't this person still here?"
As she spoke, she walked to Luo Yan's side. "Luo Yan, Master Nan said that we killed Nan Yuxing. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Yan!
Luo Yan looked up slowly.
Nan Yifan met his gaze for a moment, and that cold and dark gaze made him feel intense uneasiness.
Luo Yan spoke in a hoarse voice. "I killed Nan Yuxing."
Nan Yifan clenched his fists. "Luo Yan, were you threatened by them?! Don't worry. We're here today to seek justice for you! You just have to tell the truth!"
Luo Yan just stared at him, his eyes cold and strange. "I indeed killed Nan Yuxing. At that time, many people saw it. Nan Yifan, shouldn't you know best why I killed him?"
