Chapter 166: Rights

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Ping Yang was very unwilling to admit that she was in a bit of a tight spot. As Fang Zhengzhi moved towards her step by step, she was forced to acknowledge that if they were to have a martial arts showdown, she would not stand a chance.

However, she was Ping Yang, the Sacred Lord's most adored princess. She possessed in-born nobility and arrogance. Even in such a scenario, she would never lower her head.

She did not say anything nonsensical. For instance, ”What are you doing?” or ” Don't come near me! I will scream and I will have you die a horrible death.”

Those glassy eyes suddenly reflected an uncharacteristic calmness.

Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi. She did not believe that this village cockroach was capable of doing anything outrageous here within the residence.

If he really was going to do such things, how would she run?

Fang Zhengzhi also looked at Ping Yang, his eyes scanned her pair of glassy orbs, scrutinised her face and every part of her body. Finally, he was able to ascertain that this lady was indeed that stubborn lady in front of the inn that day.

He did not know what was the point of the lady's actions that day. Once again, he was unsure what this stubborn lady was up to just now at the gates.

What he did know was the reason she was so willing to send him silver taels non-stop to invite him to this banquet in the Ping Yang Residence.

”The soldiers outside are after my life. If you do not want them to barge in and see this sight, what should you do?” Fang Zhengzhi calmed down too after discerning Ping Yang's identity.

Since there was already resentment between them, then using his time to explain the misunderstandings was wasteful. Get straight to the point and negotiate.

Ping Yang was slightly taken aback by Fang Zhengzhi's sudden change in attitude. What appalled her more after he made eye contact was how his eyes roamed from her head to toe then back up again.

Furthermore, he was so focused and thorough.

Most importantly, after looking, he did not even show a tinge of red on his face and calmly tried to discuss terms with her?

So a person's level of shamelessness could reach such an extent.

Ping Yang sighed. Just as Fang Zhengzhi had mentioned, she had to settle what was in front of him. Therefore, she gave the lifeless handmaidens a glance.

These two personal handmaidens were carefully hand-picked by Ping Yang from all the handmaidens in the residence.

Although they lost their composure due to shock, they quickly recovered after given a glance by Ping Yang.

”Princess has ordered, no one is allowed to enter!” One of them swiftly sent out the order.

While the other one promptly took off her outer clothing and covered it with Ping Yang's body.

…

Outside the courtyard, after watching Fang Zhengzhi shoot back into the living quarters, the soldiers marched orderly to the gates but they did not enter.

Instead, they patiently waited for their orders.

This orders could come in many forms such as unusual silence, piercing screams or a disparaging voice…

If anyone of those was present, they would bust down the door without hesitation and heroically capture the bold and audacious Fang Zhengzhi.

If the sound was the current one they were hearing.

The answer was obvious.

They could only obediently wait at the door.

This was because their princess highness was taken hostage by the psychotic Fang Zhengzhi. The moment they force open, they might risk the life of the princess highness.

The officials and the nobles could also hear the orders by the handmaidens from outside the courtyard.

Every one of their eyes held shock and terror.

They did not know how Fang Zhengzhi offended the princess but if they were Fang Zhengzhi, they would have immediately surrendered just now.

Only by offering yourself for capture and then beg for mercy to Ping Yang, would he have a chance to escape with his life.

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi had a dubious engagement. Whether Chi Guyan would save him would be anyone's guess but there was a slight possibility that Ping Yang would let him live a couple more years on account of this engagement.

However, Fang Zhengzhi's current methods…

It was equivalent to destroying his last string of hope.

King Duan, Lin Xingjue's eyes held a refined glimmer. He held up his cup, discovered it was tea and poured it out. Without waiting for the servants, he poured himself a cup of wine instead.

Such a delightful event, how could he just enjoy it with tea?
