The Black Beast's Useless Concubine

Chapter 31



Breaking Off The Engagement (7)

Yu Jiuchong knew what Bai Ye was after. He was sure the brat had something up her sleeves and she was just patiently waiting for her plan to come to fruition.

Things were getting interesting.

The young girl’s physique was impressive and rare blood ran in her veins. She even had talents in alchemy and apothecary. Perhaps after this trip, he would go home with the perfect solution to the problem that had been plaguing the emperor—his son’s bachelor status.

The thought made Yu Jiuchong grin.

His personal bodyguard was frightened by the grin. The bodyguard felt his heart hammering in his chest.

At the same moment…

Without hesitation, Bai Ye turned to Qing Xuantian’s bodyguard whom she had dragged over to her corner of the room. She snapped her fingers beside the bodyguard’s ear.

The bodyguard passed out on the spot. In the next second, his eyes were wide open.

Before anyone could react, Bai Ye mimicked the voice of Qing Xuantian’s father—the governor of Qingyun, Qing Heteng. “Speak, what did Young Master Qing do 16 days ago in the courtyard of the Bai family house?”

The question prompted a twitch from Qing Xuantian.

The captured bodyguard answered in a swift but coherent manner, “My lord, 16 days ago, the young master allowed Lady Liu to torture and disable Lady Bai’s limbs, destroying her…”

In a flash, Qing Xuantian’s arm shot out toward the bodyguard who believed he was reporting to his lord.

Crack!

A loud sound echoed as Qing Xuantian made contact with the bodyguard. The bodyguard crashed into the tables and chairs reserved for the honorary guests.

A trail of blood followed the bodyguard and he was ultimately buried under the rubble of debris. The man was likely dead…

Many in the crowd were horrified at the sudden display of violence.

Clap, clap… Bai Ye’s clapping could be heard over the silence. “Superb, Young Master Qing! You single-handedly killed your personal bodyguard, a ninth-ranked practitioner no less! What a show of power!”

Ji Fu joined in on the act. “Young Master Qing is not only talented but also hardhanded. To strike his own bodyguard to death…”

Bai Ye continued her speech, a sly smile on her face. “Oh, this is nothing. Young Master Qing was willing to disable his own fiancée and allow a horde of beggars to defile her. If anyone doubts my word, feel free to look into the disappearance of the beggars in the city.”

Yun Mengmeng—who had been silent since her dramatic tumble to the floor—spoke up in defiance, “You… You’re bullshitting!”

Although Yun Mengmeng was not the brightest, she could tell Bai Ye’s words were turning the crowd.

Yun Mengmeng wanted the little scum to be locked up in the Qingyun estate. She wanted the girl away from Brother Mu!

Bai Ye only chuckled in response.

“Oh? I’m bullshitting? Then why is a certain truth-speaking bodyguard dead? Young Master Qing, why did you kill the bodyguard?” Bai Ye posed the question in a saccharine tone.
