Chapter 706: His Highness Duke of Qin’s reward 3 (2/2)

Finally, he stopped in front of her. Raising the curtains of the carriage, he smiled and said, “Let’s go, your lordship will take you to see your reward.”

Han Yunxi grinned as her heart filled with inexplicable feelings. Such a grand gesture to stun the world! If he was going to reward her again someday, could she remain calm next time? Under the eyes of everyone present, she remained sitting in the carriage while Long Feiye personally led the horse towards the City of Daughters—his prize to her. Han Yunxi loved this feeling, as if she was travelling the world with him. But it wasn’t long before someone disturbed them both.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin got his revenge, so it should be our turn next! Brothers, let’s go into the city as well!”

“Heheh, Leng Yue’s death isn’t enough to pay back the debts. The Wang Clan from the City of Daughters still owe three lives to Clear Sky Sect!”

“Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor! Brothers, here’s our chance for revenge! Let’s go!”

The jianghu faction raised their shining weapons and headed for the gates. There were at least ten different assassin clans within the City of Daughters, but they would be hard pressed to match their forces without the Leng Clan’s protection. In a flash, all of the kneeling clan heads stood up to block the gates.

“Taking advantage of our difficulties? What kind of righteous heroes are you?” someone cursed.

“Heheh, why should we speak of ‘righteous heroes’ with assassin folk? We should be killing a life for a life, hm?” someone else asked with a laugh.

“And you call yourselves upright sects? Hypocrites!” another shouted.

The jianghu faction broke into uproarious laughter at the claim. “As if killers who don’t pay for their deeds are any more righteous!”

“If you have the skills to take money and accept talented fighters, then you better have the skills to spend them afterwards!”

“Upright sects? Very well, today this old man will destroy the City of Daughter and right wrongs in accordance with Heaven’s decree!”

Han Yunxi’s good mood evaporated. The longer she looked at that group of “righteous” heroes, the more disgusted she felt. If Lady Leng Yue was still alive, would they dare to be so brash? She was about to speak when Long Feiye suddenly threw his sword at the ground between the two factions.

All of the noise ceased.

The various clan heads of the City of Daughters looked towards Long Feiye, wanting to speak but keeping silent. The jianghu group looked over as well.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, it’ll be the great fortune of the jianghu if you continue to stand forward for our sake!”

“The City of Daughters is stepped iniquity. They’ve killed countless lives over the past few years. It’s all thanks to Your Highness Duke of Qin that the Leng Clan’s been destroyed today.”

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, please keep acting as our judge!”

After witnessing Long Feiye’s strength firsthand, they were nothing but respectful and flattering. Long Feiye’s eyes swept over them coldly. As he prepared to speak, Han Yunxi stood up instead with a cold tone. “His Highness Duke of Qin just said that the City of Daughters now belongs to him in the wake of Lady Leng Yue’s death. Don’t you all…understand what that means?”

The jianghu members exchanged glances before one tactless man asked, “Qin Wangfei, what do you mean by this?”

“His Highness Duke of Qin said that he’s awarded the City of Daughters to this wangfei. From this day forward, the City of Daughters belongs to me. If anyone dares to touch a single person, blade of grass, or piece of wood within its domain, you’ll have to ask this wangfei’s poisons first! Do you agree to that?!”

“This…”

“Qin Wangfei…”

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, you…then our revenge…”

All of the martial artists were stunned, while the defeated members of the City of Daughters grew equally surprised. They assumed that Long Feiye and Han Yunxi would seize this chance to get in the righteous sects’ good graces and deliver their various clan heads to them for punishment. But Han Yunxi was defending them with such an aggressive air.

One of the older members of the jianghu faction stood out next, his voice incensed. “Your Highness Duke of Qin, this…how could… You have to give us a proper explanation!”

“Qin Wangfei’s already explained it clearly. From this day all, anyone who makes an enemy out of the City of Daughters is making an enemy out of your lordship as well,” Long Feiye said, before demanding coldly, “Whether you all decide to enter the city or leave this place is your choice!”

“Duke of Qin, we can give you the City of Daughters, but we have to settle their debts with us. Otherwise…”

Before the old man could finish, Long Feiye waved a hand, dislodging his sword from where it had wedged itself into the dirt until the weapon flew back into his grip. “Or else what?”

The old man sucked in a cold breath in alarm. “What strong internal energy!”

Or else what? What else could the old man do? He could only toss his sleeves resentfully and stalk off. Was he supposed to fight Long Feiye himself if he hung around any longer? Seeing this, the rest of the crowd could only follow in his wake despite their grumbled complaints.

From beginning to end, no one from Carefree City had said a word. They were much more intelligent than the denizens of the jianghu. After all, her was a place where strength did most of the talking. Before Long Feiye, they had nothing they could say.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, Carefree City didn’t exert any efforts in this matter. Will you be asking for a refund?” Third Elder Qi teased.
