The screen that originally stood blocking the view of the bed had now also fallen to the ground, revealing a tall figure unabashedly before everyone. He was slightly turned to the side, looking toward the doorway, his face showing an unmistakable mix of shock and a hint of embarrassment.
If this tall young man was not Lord Beiting Jing, then who else could he be?
The person on the bed sat up, supporting the quilt with one hand, a delicate face flushed red, and a pair of angry eyes glaring at the Chi Fei Brothers.
At this moment, the Chi Fei Brothers couldn’t care less about Xu Xiaomo; they pounced toward Beiting Jing like wild wolves, “Ah ah ah, you bastard, what exactly have you done to Xiaomo?”
Both brothers were of Heaven Rank, their divine power surging as they locked their divine sense onto Beiting Jing, who was only of Spirit Sect strength; he had no chance to fight back.
Luckily, at this moment, from outside the door, a wisp of black mist drifted in, almost imperceptibly, intercepting the Chi Fei Brothers’ attack on Beiting Jing. Concurrently, Yan Ye’s voice followed, “It’s only a misunderstanding, no need to be hasty with your actions! If you really must fight, you should first listen to His Excellency Beiting Jing’s explanation!”
The brothers were jolted backward by the subtle force, frustration bubbling within them. Chi Lan, ready to recklessly confront Yan Ye, was stopped by Chi Fei. Fortunately, Chi Fei had the sense to realize that not even their father, the Great Sovereign Chi Xiao, would fare well against Yan Ye.
Chi Fei, still somewhat level-headed, managed to suppress his rage and addressed Yan Ye, “Your Excellency Devil Emperor, my father once told me that the Devil Emperor is a man of sentiment, valuing emotions and loyalty. If I am not mistaken, he has a rather good relationship with my father, one that could be described as friendship, correct?”
“Indeed!” Yan Ye did not deny it; he nodded and pointed to the Chi Fei Brothers, telling Beiting Huang, “These two gentlemen are the sons of my old friend, the Great Sovereign Chi Xiao!”
Beiting Huang smiled and stood with her arms folded, giving a slight nod to the Chi Fei Brothers, clearly understanding that Chi Fei’s invocation of his father, the Great Sovereign, was somewhat purposeful.
“Since my father can be called a ‘good friend’ in front of the Devil Emperor, I believe that the Devil Emperor wouldn’t be too biased and would make a fair judgment on what happened today, right?” Chi Fei said, his face flushed with anger to the point of turning the color of liver, “Xu Xiaomo was brought by us, and if anything happens to him, we beg Your Excellency Devil Emperor to allow us brothers to face our demise.”
Hearing their words, Xu Xiaomo felt bewildered. What had he done to make them feel like something terrible had happened to him?
The Devil Emperor nodded, “Before the Emperor Mo of the Nine Provinces Ink Region, I will personally explain everything!”
With the Devil Emperor’s assurance, the brothers looked guiltily at Xu Xiaomo with a stolen glance, breathing a sigh of relief. The reputation of the Devil Emperor’s word being as solid as gilt, never broken, had been known for ten thousand years, and even after his passing, it would still circulate in the 33 Heavens.
Since he was willing to go and explain himself to the Nine Provinces Ink Region, he would surely protect them too, right?
At this moment, Beiting Lin, who had followed the Chi Fei Brothers into the room, saw Beiting Jing stand awkwardly in front of the bed, his eyes reddening with anger. However, he could not bring himself to blame his grandson; instead, he almost wept in blaming Xu Xiaomo, “Lord Xu Xiaomo, I respect you as a hero for saving Huang City, but you should never have done this. You seduced my grandson with such tactics, causing my Beiting Family, causing me to lose my lineage!”
