"Those with impure intentions and impure motives are useless to keep."

Then, Yuwen Yao turned around and looked at the people who were surrounding him. The man in the black robe had a murderous intent in his eyes that was ruthless.

"You are all people involved in this matter today, aren't you?"

With a few quick shifts and movements, the palm strikes rose and fell.

Except for Yuwen Xian and Qingyi who was supporting him, everyone else was dead, and the bright white petals were stained red with blood.

The crown prince was enraged for the sake of a beautiful woman. Yuwen Xian looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and the glaring blood, and his pupils contracted.

This was the first time, in all these years, that he had truly seen the Crown Prince become angry.

This anger was like a storm, making him truly realize that the Crown Prince was not lying, and that all these years, he had simply been yielding to him.

He wanted to kill him, and it was so easy for him.

That single palm strike destroyed his manhood, killed his man, and without uttering a word, easily took away all his self-respect.

This is retaliation.

They were so unyielding, so ruthless, that they truly struck at people's hearts.

Yuwen Yao is gone.

Yuwen Xian was unable to recover for a long time, his body numb with pain.

...

Upon leaving the Tai residence, the news brought by Tingfeng and Tingyu was not good.

They searched the entire capital city but found no trace of the Purple River.

They were never seen alive, nor were their bodies ever found.

It was as if they had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.

"I'll take you to find your sister."

Yuwen Yao sighed and took Ning Yi back to the Crown Prince's residence.

However, Xie Lingqin was not seen.

Yuwen Yao suddenly realized something, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately headed towards a secluded courtyard deep within the Crown Prince's residence.

In that elegant and refined courtyard, the gate was wide open at this moment.

The entire courtyard was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Yuwen An sat on the ground in a disheveled state, his hair disheveled, his teeth bleeding.

Meanwhile, Xie Lingqin, with her skirt tied up, bent over, supporting herself with her legs, and panting heavily.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Ye Tianhao walked over and whispered to Yuwen Yao, "Miss Xie arrived not long after you left the mansion. She had a fight with the young master, but she couldn't use her internal energy. She said it was something like wrestling..."

Guard Ye seemed to be still unsure about this word, and when he said it, he sounded guilty.

"Wrestling?" Yuwen Yao glanced at Yuwen An, who was sitting on the ground indignant, then looked at Xie Lingqin, who was panting heavily and covered in sweat, but was still standing there. He raised his chin slightly, a hint of doting in his eyes, and asked, "Who won?"

“Of course, of course Miss Lingqin won.”

"I should do the same."

As Yuwen Yao spoke, he stepped inside.

Xie Lingqin glanced back at Yuwen Yao, then looked at Yuwen An opposite her. "Yuwen An, let me tell you, you've lost. So, don't try to show off in front of me anymore. I don't need your permission. I can be with Yuwen Yao if I want. I won't forgive you for what happened tonight. So, bring it on, I won't be afraid of you, and of course, I won't be polite either." Xie Lingqin spoke harshly, her breathing becoming calmer as she finished speaking. She snorted coldly and rolled her eyes disdainfully, "A defeated opponent."

"Xie Lingqin—"

"You'd better call me sister-in-law."

Xie Lingqin sneered, her contempt evident in her words and the way she looked at her. "I treat everyone who is even remotely close to me very well, and I extend that kindness to them as well. But as for an enemy, especially one who hates me and opposes me at every turn, I will definitely not let them go. Since you don't regard me as anyone, then I don't need to give you any face, right? Yuwen Yao has protected you for so many years. Tell me, if I were to release this information, would the Emperor kill me or try to kill you?"

"Of course, I'll kill you."

"But what if I said that you and I are in cahoots, and that we're planning to rebel together?"

Xie Lingqin sneered, her words threatening.

Sure enough, she saw Yuwen An's expression turn terrifyingly grim in that instant.

"You're despicable."

"Heh!" Xie Lingqin rolled up her sleeves. By now, her breathing was completely normal. She calmly wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Who is more despicable? You should be grateful that I didn't throw you into hell."

“Yuwen…”

“Don’t look at him. He’s my man, not yours. Of course he’s on my side.”

Seeing Yuwen An glaring at Yuwen Yao with hatred, wanting to call for reinforcements, Xie Lingqin interrupted him directly.

Behind him, Yuwen Yao remained silent.

On the other side, Yuwen An, sitting on the ground, had a very different complexion at this moment, a mix of red, yellow, blue, and purple.

It looks like auspicious seven-colored clouds.

"So, remember this: if you're ever mean to me again, I'll... I'll..." Xie Lingqin pointed at Yuwen Yao, "Be mean to him. If you slap me once, I'll slap him five times. Let's see who's stronger."

"Yuwen Yao, are you just going to let this woman ride roughshod over you? You are the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince of Bei Rong."

Yuwen An was furious and on the verge of madness.

"Hmm, the air up there is nice. It's good to let your woman see it."

Meeting Yuwen Anhao's resentful gaze, Yuwen Yao smiled slightly, stepped forward, took Xie Lingqin's hand, and walked out, completely ignoring Yuwen Anhao.

"I was thinking of letting it go, but then I remembered that I swore I wouldn't be Xie if I didn't take revenge, so I have to get my revenge," Xie Lingqin said, looking at Yuwen Yao.

Yuwen Yao chuckled softly, his voice low and deep, "I said, do as you please."

"However, he just said that even when he's riding on your head, you're really flexible and adaptable." Xie Lingqin found it somewhat amusing.
