Chapter Ten, Miss Ye Si

Lin Donglai fled in a disheveled manner, and the three ink-armored warriors of the Linhuai Hou family no longer had the motivation to hold their ground. They were already struggling, and at this moment, they retreated accordingly. As they left, they did not forget to take with them the two corpses on the ground and all the severely injured individuals.

However, as long as one can escape today without being caught in the act, this incident will likely be reduced from a major issue to a minor one

However, upon hearing Lin Donglai's words, Ying Chong remained completely unconcerned. While calmly continuing to place the marbles and flying knives back into the box, he laughed heartily and shouted: "Someone come! A murder has occurred here, the murderer is Ying Chong! The deceased is a guard from the Linhuai Marquis's residence—"

Ying Chong remained silent, merely smiling as he raised his other hand. Then, a total of seven flying daggers shot out from his sleeve, transforming into several indistinct glimmers of cold light, heading straight for Lin Donglai's vital areas in the chest and abdomen

Today, no lives can be lost, and we must not alert the Jingzhao Prefecture to intervene in the investigation, so not a trace can be left here. Regardless of how many people have died, the Linhuai Hou family can only swallow their broken teeth and blood.

If today's matter escalates, the only one who will suffer will be him. Ying Chong possesses the imperial pardon iron token granted by the current emperor at home, so no matter what happens, he will not lose his life. With the Star-Removing Divine Armor in place, the Duke of Anguo's residence will also not have to worry about losing its title; at most, it will only face a light reprimand.

That being said, she has always been unable to understand, and it would be one thing for herself, but due to the previous itinerant Taoist's fortune-telling, there has been a connection with the royal family. However, why is Shangguan Xiaoqing also participating in the selection?

This fellow is merely a fourth-tier martial artist whose martial veins have been crippled, with no internal energy whatsoever. Not to mention that he is surrounded by nearly twenty fifth-tier martial officers as guards, even he himself could easily give this fellow a good beating.

This scene sent chills down the spines of all the onlookers. They pondered that these scions of noble families were simply lawless. The one who brazenly used ink armor in the street was indeed audacious, but the methods of this heir of the Duke of Anguo were even more ruthless

Yet, upon hearing the girl's voice, Ye Lingxue felt a headache coming on. This could be considered her childhood acquaintance, named Shangguan Xiaoqing, who was the legitimate daughter of the third generation of the Cai Guogong family

Indeed, the sharpness of that flying knife surpassed that of a marble, not only piercing through the armor and bodies of the two individuals, but also maintaining its momentum, striking fully upon Lin Donglai.

This girl possesses excellent talents and appearance, but her temperament is somewhat arrogant. Since childhood, she has insisted on competing with others in everything.

Inform the owner of your building! All losses incurred by Qingyun Building today will be recorded in the accounts. If the Linghuai Marquis's residence is unwilling to compensate, they may come to the Anguo Duke's residence to seek me, Ying Chong

He believed that using ink armor less than ten miles from the palace was already quite reckless. Yet, this Ying Chong was even more ruthless by several times!

A faint and elusive sense of sorrow quietly crept onto her brow. At that moment, Ye Lingxue heard several thunderous sounds, causing her to involuntarily raise her head and look in astonishment at the source of the noise

Fortunately, he had armor beneath his clothing, which barely protected his vital areas. However, his arms and thighs were cut by the blade, resulting in two lines of blood.

On the contrary, it was Lin Donglai who took the initiative this time, being the first to act and also the first to employ the ink armor. If the situation escalates and attracts the attention of the authorities, he will be the one to suffer the consequences first.

I suspect it is mostly those so-called Four Young Masters of the Capital. This time coincides with the selection period, and those few troublemakers are likely here to see the excitement

With his fingers pointed in the air, Lin Donglai's expression revealed an air of disdainful dominance. Just as he was about to urge the guards beside him to take action, he noticed Ying Chong's lips curl into a slight smirk, a cruel and contemptuous smile. Just as he was feeling puzzled, Ying Chong raised his hand, and in an instant, countless marbles rained down upon him like a torrential downpour

Lin Donglai felt a sudden chill run through his entire body, sending shivers down his spine and causing his soul to tremble. He practiced martial arts and could perceive the lethal power of these individual beads, which was truly terrifying.

The previous evaluation indicates that Ye Lingxue, in terms of appearance, voice, tone, figure, and even in aspects that cannot be mentioned, is a rare and exceptional choice.

At the very moment when Lord Lin was being reprimanded by His Majesty and Empress Dowager Ci'an was gravely ill, did he cause such a commotion out of fear that it might infuriate Empress Dowager Ci'an to death

Lin Dong was extremely angry. Seeing Ying Chong preparing the deadly weapon from his sleeve, he immediately turned around and ran away, cursing as he went: "You wait, Ying Chong! In two months, when you no longer have the Dan Book and Iron Token, and you lose that golden ticket to avoid death, I will see how you die!"

Ying Chong had only run a few dozen steps when he was caught up by Zhang Yi. This burly giant lifted Ying Chong and placed him on his shoulder, then, like the wind and lightning, he ran a distance of one mile in the blink of an eye. Ying Chong couldn't help but let out a light laugh, and soon after, he heard the furious shout of the manager of Qingyun Tower from afar: "You two bastards, don't come to my Qingyun Tower again!"

Compared to the astonishment of Xue Pinggui and Zhou Yan, Lin Donglai was filled with joy. This time, he brought only three ink-armored figures, but there were more than twenty other guards.

Those iron bullets were aimed directly at him. If it had not been for the two guards who blocked them for him just now, Lin Donglai might have died on the spot.

Upon hearing the girl's last sentence, Ye Lingxue felt an overwhelming urge to press her hand to her forehead. What could possibly compare to this? Being selected like livestock reminded her of when she was seven years old, accompanying her Uncle Qi to the horse market to choose horses. First, they would examine the mouth, then the length and width of the body, and also check for any signs of constipation, among other things. In short, they scrutinized every possible flaw.

A scream echoed, and Lin Donglai's face turned pale, showing signs of fear in his eyes as he stepped back, saying: "Ying Chong, you bastard! Do you know the crime of killing someone in broad daylight?"

Moreover, the prestigious young ladies participating in this selection are not limited to just the two of them

Lin Donglai's complexion turned ashen; without a second thought, he forcibly dragged the two guards beside him, who had been injured by the marbles, to stand in front of him again

Fortunately, in two months, it will be the time for the Star Picking Divine Armor to choose its master. Once he loses his title, he has plenty of ways to concoct this nonsense

Father is mostly blinded by greed and ambition, seduced by fame and power, but can grandfather not see clearly? Moreover, in this dynasty, to prevent the powerful relatives from usurping authority, emperors of all generations and the legitimate wives of princes have never chosen from wealthy and influential families. Are we to let her, Ye Lingxue, become someone else's concubine?

The two guards beside him were quite agile, promptly bringing their two steel shields together to block in front of him. However, when the projectile struck, these shields forged from refined steel seemed as fragile as paper, being forcefully penetrated. The bodies of the two guards at the Martial Officer level were riddled with countless wounds, with numerous blood holes, and they were pushed back several steps. Even those nearby were affected and sustained serious injuries.

When Ye Lingxue walked out of the Shixiu Palace, her face was still flushed. The initial selection of palace maidens involved listening, smelling, and physical examination, each of which was mortifying and degrading to one's dignity. She was naturally filial, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel some resentment. The Ye family of Shuhe was already extremely wealthy, a prominent family ranked among the thirty-six noble houses, and her grandfather Ye Yuanlang was a high-ranking official. Why must they insist on sending her into the royal family? Did they truly believe the words of that wandering Taoist, hoping that the Ye family would produce an empress?

This is a placeholder text.

Is someone engaging in combat with ink armor? Moreover, the distance is certainly no more than 10 miles. Who is so audacious as to dare act so recklessly in such a crucial area of the capital city

The three Zun Mo armor are already being overwhelmed in battle, and it seems they are about to suffer a humiliating defeat. Yet, this Ying Chong has foolishly appeared right in front of him

A graceful young girl with striking features walked slowly to Ye Lingxue's side and, smiling, cast a sidelong glance at her: "I heard that this time, sister Lingxue received the highest praise? As for me, I fell a bit short and only received a middle to upper rating."

Ying Chong had secretly regretted before; the guard who had just been injured by his marble seemed to be in a tragic and serious condition, but in fact, his life was not in danger. However, being forcibly dragged in front to block the knife by Lin Donglai meant certain death for him. The 'chain knife box' he aimed at was not actually targeting Lin Donglai's vital points, but was merely intended to intimidate. Yet at this moment, it cost the lives of these two guards.

What are you still standing there for? Go up and take him out!

Zhang Yi and Ying Fu Ying De had already ceased their actions, showing no intention to pursue. Ying Chong similarly harbored no desire to be relentless. First, he coldly watched Lin Donglai's figure as it disappeared around the corner, and then he also turned and ran away.

Lin Donglai was also exasperated: "Ying Chong, have you gone mad? Do you dare to kill me?"

Such a commotion has arisen here that it is likely the palace has already been alerted, and the guards from the Jingzhaoyin's residence are on their way. Remaining here at this time would only invite misfortune. Even if no bodies or victims can be found, the mere act of employing the ink armor within the capital is sufficient to bring him considerable trouble

He Yingchong is indeed arrogant and ruthless, but he is not a fool

This Ying Chong is truly ruthless and exceedingly cunning
