The voice of the young woman forced every head to turn to her because it was one of the most attractive voices the people in the tavern had ever heard. And when they saw her face, they almost forgot to breathe…

That was because the young woman was so beautiful that she could win the city beauty contest for many years. Her pink cheeks and smooth skin could put everyone under her spell…

"An angel. That's an angel! Am I dead so I can see her?"

All the guys in the tavern started to wander in their conversation. Everyone in Dong-Chen's group also acted accordingly. The person who was affected the most by her was probably Dong-Ren-Qia. He was normally a womanizer, so he drooled without realizing it while staring at her. He could hardly withhold himself from jumping on her…

The woman started to feel frustrated when she realized every man in the tavern was drooling over her appearance, except for one. And that person was Zheng-Fu…

Zheng-Fu continued to sit normally and drink his booze without paying attention to the young woman. He only glanced at her just to check what was going on, and then that was just it. It was not that he did not like her, but he saw someone who was much more beautiful than she. And that was Qi-Fu-Er whom he found in the Cult of Savage Evil…

Zheng-Fu's behavior surprised the woman quite a bit. It was interesting to her that some guys were not interested in her looks. When she gave him a really good look, she realized that he might be too young to like women. That was when she turned to look at Dong-Xi-Hu with a critical eye…

Dong-Xi-Hu, at the same time, fell in love with the young woman, but only for a short time. His face suddenly turned pale when he remembered the young woman in front of him. He could not forget her, no matter how long he had not seen her, because she was the daughter of the country's Chief Commander in the military…

"Lady Guan-Ying-Ping!"

"Respecting Lady Guan-Ying-Ping! I'm Captain Dong-Xi-Hu, and I take care of this district." Dong-Xi-Hu cupped his fists to pay respect to Guan-Ying-Ping instantly…

"Lady Guan-Ying-Ping!?"

The people in the tavern were instantly shocked when they heard her name. From wanting to court her, they turned to get scared instead because they knew that her father was the Chief Commander of the royal army of Blue Land. Having a hundred lives would not be enough if they irritated her…

Dong-Ren-Qia decreased his degree of wanting to jump on Guan-Ying-Ping, but it was still there because he never stopped being a womanizer. He thought it would be nice for him to get her to like him because her father was a significant figure in the country…

"Wow… Do you know me? But never mind. I don't care if you know me. I just think you are overreacting too much to bully these young men," Guan-Ying-Ping said while staring at Dong-Xi-Hu with disgust…

"Well…"

Dong-Xi-Hu did not know what to say because it was a family affair. However, he could not completely say it because he knew he had disowned Dong-Chen a long time ago…

"You're not quite correct, my lady. This is a family affair. We're not bullying anyone." Dong-Ren-Qia, all of a sudden, said to Guan-Ying-Ping in a gentleman-like voice. He stepped forward and walked toward her like he was very handsome…

"Tsk!"

Guan-Ying-Ping could not stand the way Dong-Ren-Qia carried himself. She despised this type of man. Even if Dong-Ren-Qia looked a hundred times more handsome, she would not be interested in him. Some other girls might be able to fall in love with him, but definitely not her. She let out some air and said…

"Like father, like son!"

Guan-Ying-Ping did not say it out loud, so no one could hear her but Zheng-Fu. The statement forced Zheng-Fu to let out a wry smile. He suddenly got goosebumps when he looked at her. It was hard to tell how he felt about her saying that. He just thought that the person who wedded her would have a difficult life…

"The guy who has her as a wife must be very unlucky," Zheng-Fu said while smiling. Then he turned back to his booze and food in front of him without paying attention to anyone…

Zheng-Fu's indifferent actions toward what was happening in the tavern made everyone want to do things to him to get his attention. He acted as if he was the only one in the tavern, and the tavern was very peaceful at the moment…

Back to the situation in the tavern. After Guan-Ying-Ping heard the answer, she said, "Is that so? I heard you have already disowned him and banished him from your clan. Doesn't that mean he's not one of your family anymore? So, how can this be a family affair?" Guan-Ying-Ping said, cunningly smiling……

Guan-Ying-Ping's words darkened Dong-Xi-Hu's face tremendously. It made him want to hit his son with a gigantic stick for bringing him difficulty in a situation that was already bad for them. He knew that what Guan-Ying-Ping said was true. But he would not care anyway if it did not come from the daughter of the Chief Commander. Who would dare to argue with her?...

"Well… That's… Um… Everyone, get out of here!" Dong-Xi-Hu ordered his soldiers to leave the tavern. He thought that in this situation, staying further in the tavern would bring him more shame…

Dong-Ren-Qia was extremely surprised to hear his father ordering the soldiers to go back out. He did not expect that his father would decide to give up. When Dong-Chen saw that his father and brother had decided to leave, he let out a relieved and joyful smile. It was very satisfying too, so he looked at Dong-Ren-Qia with a mocking look. That made Dong-Ren-Qia furious tremendously…

"Father… You can't do that! He's still…"

"Quiet!"

"I told you to leave, so leave! And come see me at my office when we get back!" Dong-Xi-Hu yelled at Dong-Ren-Qia fiercely while looking at him with the utmost anger. If Dong-Ren-Qia was not his son, he would have cut him into pieces by now…

"Ugh!"

Dong-Ren-Qia was shocked that his father yelled at him that harshly. So, he had to look down instantly and say, "Yes, father." When he finished the sentence, he turned to look at Dong-Chen with a grudge, as if he wanted to tear Dong-Chen apart…

"Please excuse me, Lady Guan-Ying-Ping." Dong-Xi-Hu left the tavern the minute he finished the sentence without looking back. The soldiers that surrounded Zheng-Fu's group rushed out of the tavern after their captain, leaving behind Dong-Ren-Qia, who was the last one to leave…

When the incident died down, Dong-Chen turned to look at Guan-Ying-Ping. It looked like he had something on his mind and was deciding whether he should walk up to her. Then he decided to walk over to her…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

"Thank you, Lady Guan-Ying-Ping, for helping us." Dong-Chen cupped his fists and bowed to Guan-Ying-Ping, thanking her from the bottom of his heart…

"Don't worry. It's nothing. I don't like seeing something like that." Guan-Ying-Ping replied to Dong-Chen with a calm look before going back to her food…

Even after Dong-Xi-Hu left, the villagers and the people in the tavern were still in a state of shock, even. When they gained back their consciousness, they started to talk about what happened. The chats covered things like the beauty of Guan-Ying-Ping and the viciousness of the Dong father and son. It did not take long for the news to spread like wildfire…

The news mainly focused on Guan-Ying-Ping, who was the daughter of the Chief Commander. Her beauty had been witnessed by a lot of people. Guan-Ying-Ping seemed to be affected by the spread of the news the most because her father ordered the guardians to come get her back to her estate immediately…

"Tsk! Now they came for me. I thought I would get to enjoy the night when I sneaked out. I shouldn't have met that father and son! And I shouldn't have stepped in between the fight. It's indeed my fault." Guan-Ying-Ping cursed Dong-Xi-Hu and Dong-Ren-Qia.

Then she had to blame herself for getting in the way of their argument. It really killed her day…

"It looks like you still want to enjoy being outside. In a bid to thank you for helping us, would you consider taking a medicine that helps disguise your look? You can be someone else for two shichens. Are you interested?"

"Who's that!?"

All of a sudden, Guan-Ying-Ping heard someone talking to her in her head. That was why she shouted the question while turning to look around her to find the person who talked to her. She could hear someone whispering those things in her ears. Her action drew attention from others around her instantly…

"Did I just hear things?" Guan-Ying-Ping mumbled with curiosity when she thought about what she had heard a second ago. Then her eyes met with Zheng-Fu's while she was trying to look around. When she really looked at him, she was startled…

Zheng-Fu appeared to be dining as usual. However, he also lifted a small wooden box in his hand for Guan-Ying-Ping to see…

"Was it his voice?" Guan-Ying-Ping thought of the impossible thing. It was very strange that Zheng-Fu would be able to whisper in her ears a minute ago, but he actually could. And Guan-Ying-Ping thought that Zheng-Fu was merely a regular kid…

Rustle!

To confirm her thought, Guan-Ying-Ping got up from her table and walked up to Zheng-Fu's table immediately. It made everyone look at her instantly. They wondered why, all of a sudden, the young woman wanted to go to Dong-Chen's table. She did not seem to care about him at all when he thanked her earlier…

"Lady Guan-Ying-Ping is walking up to that boy's table!"

"I guess those kids must have done something to disrespect her!"

Everyone started to guess the reason why Guan-Ying-Ping headed to Zheng-Fu's table. Dong-Chen and the group were also shocked to see her heading in their direction. Then Dong-Chen seemed to understand something. So, he turned to look at Zheng-Fu, who was busy with his food. Then he noticed something in Zheng-Fu's hand and turned to look at Guan-Ying-Ping…
