Before he could finish speaking, Deputy General Sun was inexplicably scolded by Feng Beichuan.

Damn it, let me kill this bastard with you!

Deputy General Sun was seething with anger. If it weren't for the fact that he was the regent, he would have beaten this guy to a pulp and made him beg for his life long ago!

Seeing that the two men were adamant, Deputy General Sun angrily went straight to Li Chang'an's tent.

I'm helpless; there are others who can handle you!

Li Chang'an looked at Deputy General Sun, who stormed in, with surprise. "Why are you in such a sorry state?"

At this moment, Deputy General Sun was still wearing his soaked clothes, his hair was disheveled and stuck to his scalp, and his face was flushed red with anger, making him look like a fighting rooster.

It's better not to mention it, because it makes him furious.

"General, those two are dueling outside. Aren't you going to do something about it?"

Deputy General Sun was panting heavily, clearly annoyed, while Li Chang'an beside him seemed rather calm.

"Who cares what they're doing? Let them fight if they want!"

Li Chang'an didn't care at all; she couldn't be bothered with such a boring matter!

This was the same idea that Deputy General Sun had initially thought. However, Li Chang'an felt that these two wouldn't cause any real trouble. At most, they might lose a tooth or break a couple of ribs, which would be considered a lesson learned.

"But we can't just let them run wild. Besides, what if something happens and it gets involved, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Something happened? What could have happened?

Li Chang'an scoffed. Could these two possibly cause any trouble?

"It's alright, if he/she dies, we'll just carry him/her away and bury him/her."

Li Chang'an poured himself a cup of tea and said as he drank it.

Deputy General Sun couldn't help but feel ashamed; their general really had a big heart!

At that moment, a sudden exclamation came from outside. Li Chang'an's expression tightened, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

This sound didn't seem to be cheering for anyone; it sounded more like something unexpected had happened!

"trouble!"

Unable to resist cursing, Li Chang'an picked up his sword from the shelf and walked out. Deputy General Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly followed.

On the field, Ye Lingxiao's face was gloomy, as black as the bottom of a pot. On the other hand, Feng Beichuan had a mocking look on his face, his folding fan still swaying leisurely in his hand. His blue robe was not stained with a speck of dust, and he still had that elegant demeanor.

The soldiers watching also lowered their heads and whispered among themselves with complicated expressions.

When Li Chang'an arrived in a hurry, he breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that no one had died.

Chang'an, you're here!

Feng Beichuan was the first to greet them, waving his folding fan with a beaming smile.

Ye Lingxiao remained silent, his face still gloomy. Only when he saw Li Chang'an did he suppress his anger and resist the urge to beat Feng Beichuan.

He couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that Chang An hadn't seen what happened, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed!

What nonsense are you all talking about?

Li Chang'an raised her eyebrows, her expression full of impatience.

"Chang An, this has nothing to do with me. He was the one who started it. I only agreed to the duel out of a man's dignity."

Feng Beichuan slyly moved closer to Li Chang'an and began to openly complain, not only clearing himself of any wrongdoing but also embellishing his own image.

Unfortunately, Li Chang'an wasn't buying it. She glared at Feng Beichuan and said, "Stay away from me!"

"Ha, I have never seen such a shameless person before!"

Ye Lingxiao was so angry he laughed. He pointed at the ground and gritted his teeth, saying, "How do you explain this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an looked over and saw dozens of transparent beads scattered on the ground. They appeared to be made of glass. The beads were small, about the size of soybeans, and because they were transparent, they were almost invisible hidden in the sand and gravel.

Startled, Li Chang'an walked over, squatted down, picked up a few beads, and examined them carefully in his hand.

He felt only a cool touch, and the beads reflected a few points of light in Li Chang'an's palm, which was quite beautiful.

Ye Lingxiao just suffered a loss because of these small beads.

He initially wanted to test Feng Beichuan's strength, but the other party kept making a fool of him and refused to fight back. The two chased each other like cat and mouse for a full cup of tea's time, which made Ye Lingxiao furious.

The soldiers watching were also getting bored. Ye Lingxiao felt that this couldn't go on, so he made a ruthless decision and launched a fierce attack to capture Feng Beichuan first, so that he wouldn't be able to escape again.

Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating General Lingxiao's outburst, a dramatic scene unfolded—

When Ye Lingxiao was still a few steps away from Feng Beichuan, he suddenly tripped and fell flat on his face!

This was an unexpected situation for everyone, which is why Li Chang'an and the others heard the exclamations outside.

After a moment of stunned silence, Feng Beichuan burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.

Ye Lingxiao made a huge fool of himself in front of everyone!

He himself didn't understand what happened. He just felt his foot suddenly slip and then he lost his balance and fell forward. He wanted to find something to brace himself, but he had already handed over his sword.

After falling, Ye Lingxiao was stunned for a few seconds, then heard Feng Beichuan's annoying laughter. Under everyone's gaze, he scrambled to his feet and immediately wished he could disappear into the ground.

Utter disgrace!

After Li Chang'an arrived, Ye Lingxiao finally came to his senses and carefully noticed the things on the ground, and he had an answer in his heart.

No wonder I slipped on such a rough surface!

"Hey, don't wrong me. I don't know where this thing came from either."

Feng Beichuan shook his head in denial, then put on a magnanimous air and said earnestly, "Everyone makes mistakes, and even horses stumble. Young Master Ye, you should take it easy. There's no hurdle you can't overcome."

These words were undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for Ye Lingxiao!

"Do you dare say that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you?"

Ye Lingxiao glared at Feng Beichuan: "If you hadn't secretly tampered with things, how could it be such a coincidence that these things suddenly appeared under my feet? It was clearly you who deliberately humiliated me using such despicable means!"

"That's right, it must have been him!"

"Pah, shameless!"

"Exactly! If you can't beat them, you can't beat them, so you resort to dirty tricks!"

Ye Lingxiao's words instantly aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Li Chang'an, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand, and everyone immediately shut their mouths.

"This is no ordinary object; it must be some kind of concealed weapon."

After saying that, Li Chang'an looked up at Feng Beichuan.

Feeling the scrutinizing gaze, Feng Beichuan felt wronged. "I truly don't know what happened..."

"Even if you did it, there's no way to prove it if you don't admit it. This bead can't talk, so let's leave it at that. You can all go find somewhere cool to stay!"

"No, I want to fight you again!"

Ye Lingxiao was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction. He had just lost face because of his fall, and he was determined to get his revenge!
