Chapter 372: Then let’s use my feet (2/2)

Third Young Master Chen’s mood plummeted after that slap! He cradled his face and glared at her hatefully. “Someone come, capture her! If I don’t whip her to death, then my surname isn’t Chen!”

At his words, there was a sudden lash of a whip. Before anyone could react, Third Young Master Chen had been whipped across the face, peeling off a layer of skin that exposed the flesh beneath. It was a shocking sight. Long Feiye’s right hand waved his whip lightly before withdrawing the weapon once more. The world only knew that he was skilled in swords when his true skills laid in the whip. He didn’t even need to use any strength for that blow.

Finally, Third Young Master Chen and the page boys realized that there was a guard in a face mask here as well! They couldn’t be faulted for their negligence, since black-robed, face mask wearing guards were everywhere in the black market. Long Feiye had been so quiet when he entered the shop that no one expected him to brook no nonsense.

“AhhhHHHH!” Third Young Master Chen shouted in pain, completely at a loss.

Han Yunxi turned back unhappily. She was about to say ‘Your Highness’ when she caught herself and stopped. Then she scolded him, “I already said, you can’t use your hands!”

The doctor told him not to!

She wouldn’t fuss if he needed them for daily tasks, but it was better not to ‘raise arms’ against others like this if he could help it.

“Then how about using my feet?” Long Feiye countered. Before Han Yunxi could react, Long Feiye suddenly struck out with his foot against the wailing Third Young Master Chen, sending him flying backwards with a kick.

Han Yunxi couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Yes, you can do that!”

Long Feiye didn’t laugh. If anything, he looked unhappy. Third Young Master Chen fell with a whump to the ground, completely void of his previous arrogance and bluster. He, as a full-grown man, actually began to sob. “Someone come, someone come! Go find my uncle! Hurry, find my uncle!”

Soon enough, Master Lin heard the racket and entered the shop. At the sight of the scene before him, he immediately lost his temper. “Who are you? You dare to act so wantonly in my Lin Clan’s grain store?”

“Grain buyers!” Han Yunxi answered coldly. They might have to hide their identities and remain low-key, but that didn’t mean they could be bullied.

“Not selling!” Third Young Master Chen yelled back. “Uncle, that woman hit me. That man even whipped me! You have to slaughter them for my sake!”

But the angry Master Lin had suddenly fallen silent. After all, he was currently fretting over the fact that no one would buy their grain. His gaze swept past Long Feiye to examine Han Yunxi, before he asked carefully, “How much…do you want to buy?”

He was very clear that anyone coming to buy grain at this critical juncture couldn’t be someone simple.

“Uncle…” Third Young Master Chen grew discontent. He only bothered with eating, drinking, and fooling around. How could he be aware of their dire straits? Master Lin shot him a glare before he resentfully lowered his head. Technically speaking, he should find a doctor right away, but he wasn’t willing!

“Miss, how much grain do you want to buy?” Master Lin asked again.

“I heard you have 50,000 dan for sale?” Han Yunxi asked by way of an answer. At these words, Master Lin knew she must be from same line of business as him. Everyone knew there were 50,000 dan of grain on sale, but only those in the know knew to find him to buy it.

Although Master Lin was impatient to sell off the grain, he was still very cautious. Instead of answering, he asked next, “How much do you want?”

“How much do you have?” Han Yunxi countered.

Master Lin seemed to get a better grasp of the situation and softened significantly. With a smile, he said, “Miss, why don’t we talk about this inside?”

But Han Yunxi only smiled coldly. “First, make a formal apology. If not, then please open your doors. Although this Miss needs grain urgently, I don’t need your shop to buy it!” Han Yunxi’s words sounded like she was targeting Third Young Master Chen, but she’d intentionally chose to disclose two pieces of information to Master Lin.

Number one, she was in urgent need of grain; number two, she hadn’t come specifically to the Lin Clan’s shop to buy it. If Han Yunxi had said all of that outright, Master Lin might not have believed her, but by using the infraction with Third Young Master Chen, her words became more credible. Master Lin was all too aware of Third Young Master Chen’s natural disposition. He could easily guess that the latter’s lustful tendencies had flared up again.

But in the end, Master Lin wasn’t so easy to deal with. He gazed at Third Young Master Chen’s state before saying seriously, “Miss, you’ve already beaten my nephew to this state. Doesn’t that count as a formal apology already?”
