361 Purple Qilin (1/2)

After Su Yang left the place, Lord Xie also returned to the city. However, upon reaching the gates, he was greeted by many curious people who were ordered to stay within the city by the guards.

\”Y-Your Majesty! Is everything okay?! Are you hurt?\” The guards immediately asked him.

\”I am fine. The cause of the phenomenon just now has already concluded. It's nothing to be worried about,\” said Lord Xie.

\”Your Majesty, if I may ask, what caused the phenomenon?\”

The curious people asked him.

\”It was just a little quarrel between two experts; it's nothing worth mentioning.\”

\”Just a little quarrel?\”

The people were dumbfounded by the unexpected answer. How could a little quarrel lead to something this chaotic? They thought it was a war between two powerful factions!

\”I will apologize in place of those troublemakers if their quarrel had caused any inconveniences,\” said Lord Xie.

However, nobody said anything. After all, who would dare make the king himself apologize? Even if Lord Xie was the one who caused the commotion, nobody would dare to complain.

Sometime later, when Lord Xie returned home, another figure with a curious face appeared before him.

\”Father, what happened outside? Was it Brother Su Yang?\” Xie Xingfang asked him the moment he walked through the doors.

\”...Don't mention his name!\” Lord Xie could feel his repressed anger resurfacing after hearing his name.

Xie Xingfang frowned and continued, \”So it was him… Did something happen between the two of you?\”

\”That bastard is the only person in this world who dares to blatantly disrespects me! He has no respect for authority or my status! If not for your condition, I would have killed him there and then!\”

\”Father!\” Xie Xingfang suddenly shouted, her face filled with anger. \”No matter what happened between you and Brother Su Yang, I will not allow you to harm him!\”

\”Hmph!\”

Lord Xie merely snorted at her words and walked away.

\”Father!!! I am warning you! If you hurt him, I will not forgive you, even if you are my father!\” she shouted at him again.

However, Lord Xie completely ignored her and disappeared.

\”...\”

A few moments later, another figure appeared before Xie Xingfang.

\”Xing'er, you really like that young man, huh.\”

\”G-Grandfather! What are you doing here?!\” Xie Xingfang showed a surprised expression after seeing the old man.

\”If I didn't come out, your father would've fought to death with that friend of yours,\” he said with a smile.

\”My father was going to fight to death with Su Yang?! Why would something like that happen?!\” Xie Xingfang was truly shocked now.

\”Well… you see…\”
