Chapter 360 (2/2)

”What are you doing?” As Ji Man stepped on the roof tiles, her legs were wobbling. No wonder her mother had always instructed her to not watch lively disputes.

”Didn't he harm your entire family?” the person behind her asked. To her surprise, it was Wu Yong's voice. ”You weren't able to lead him into Quyi Pavilion, so now you should be trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the kite from him. Otherwise, wouldn't you be deceiving His Highness with your words of wanting revenge?”

Not have a better option, Ji Man could only say, ”He obviously knew I was following him and even took the initiative of asking if I want to go to Qiyu Pavilion. You know what kind of person Marquis Moyu is, how could I still foolish say yes after he asked that question?”

Wu Yong paused. Instead of saying another word, he pushed her forward a few steps. Ji Man stumbled and knocked a loose roof tile down. The roof tile fell onto the road and attracted cries of alarm as well as cursing.

On the other side, there was a confrontation between those four people and Ning Yuxuan. Ning Yuxuan had already started to rip the kite that he was holding. What was the point in trying to keep possession of the kite? Destroying the evidence would be the best method.

It had to be said that Ning Yuxuan's decision was the correct one. Once he started to tear the kite, the people that had originally thought they had victory within their grasp started to panic. They hurriedly went forward to s.n.a.t.c.h the kite from him. Step by step, they forced him towards the edge of the roof. Wu Yong pushed Ji Man over there and called out softly, ”Stop or I'll push him off.”

Ning Yuxaun turned his head to the side and saw Ji Man's helpless expression. He sneered. ”You brought him here to threaten me?”

Wu Yong didn't understand what Zhangjun Prince was thinking either. Ji Man was only a teacher to Marquis Moyu, but the prince had said he could use Ji Man to threaten the marquis.

If Ning Yuxuan didn't back down, was he really going to have to push Ji Man off the roof? Wu Yong felt depressed and frustrated.

Ji Man crouched down on the roof and looked at Ning Yuxuan as she said, ”Hurry up and rip it up. Don't stop to talk.”

Wu Yong kept his gaze on Ning Yuzuan as he raised his foot behind Ji Man. He was clearly showing that if Ning Yuxuan dared to continue ripping the kite, he would dare to push Ji Man off.

Marquis Moyu's hand paused. He helplessly sighed and took out an item from his clothes.

Everyone felt a bit nervous. What could he possibly take out that would be useful? A concealed weapon?

It was an ancient time lighter. As soon as the cap was taken off and air was blown on the inside part, the ember ignited. While everyone was momentarily stunned, Ning Yuxuan crumbled the giant kite into a ball, lit it on fire, and tossed it down.

(T/N: Below is a picture of an ancient time lighter.)

”You!” Wu Yong was speechless with anger. The nearby people had jumped down to follow the burning ball. They wanted to save part of the kite before it was completely burnt.

Ji Man silently gave this person's quick-witted resourcefulness a mental like. A moment later, Ning Yuxuan was rus.h.i.+ng over here.
