Chapter 1362 Why are you here? (2/2)
Fourth Uncle Yan didn't pay any attention to Yan Xiong though. He walked toward Ji Xiuran and hastily said with a simpering smile, ”Emperor Ji, why are you here?”
The woman in red and two seductively dressed workers were utterly flabbergasted, their sneers frozen on their faces.
The audience outside the door which kept increasing in number was also incredulous. That man was actually… the greatly renowned Ji Xiuran in the Independent State… Emperor Ji…!
”Could it be the woman who slapped Yan Xiong earlier is Emperor Ji's lover…”
”I think it's possible. No wonder she's so gutsy and arrogant! It turns out she latched onto the powerful Emperor Ji!”
”Yan Xiong is out of luck this time!”
”That's not necessarily true. She's just a mere toy. The Yan family is quite strong, and Emperor Ji is friends with the previous head of the Yan family, so Emperor Ji probably wouldn't have a fall out with them because of a mere woman.”
The audience fervently gossiped amongst themselves.
Yan Xiong froze in his spot. That man is Emperor Ji?!
Ji Xiuran chuckled lightly and said, ”I came to spend some time with my friend… but I seem to have offended someone from your Yan family just now. Do I need to apologize?”
”Apologize? N-n-no… Why in the world would you need to apologize, Emperor Ji?! My nephew must've been blind and caused some misunderstanding… Emperor Ji, your esteemed self is benevolent, so please don't punish us for this matter… After all, it's just a woman…” Fourth Uncle Yan requested, falling all over himself.
”Punish?” Ji Xiuran smiled and shook his head. ”I won't punish you.”
”Hahaha, that's great! Normal people couldn't compare to Emperor Ji's generosity. I'll thank Emperor Ji first,” Fourth Uncle Yan hastily said with a grin.
”However…” Ji Xiuran looked at Fourth Uncle Yan and smiled. ”I might not punish you, but you have to ask the Fearless Alliance whether they'll punish you instead.”
”The Fearless Alliance?”
Fourth Uncle Yan's brows furrowed slightly. Big Dipper, Seven Star, and Autumn Water were the confidants of the Fearless Alliance's president from back then. They were once fearsome, but they had lost all real power in the Fearless Alliance following the president's disappearance.
