Despite their equal status, Baili Yuechan gave a cold laugh and then shouted sharply, "Get out of here!"
"Yes, Princess." Xiao Nian lowered her head, tightly clenched her fingers, and stepped aside.
Seeing that Tian Haoze had stood up for Nangong Ziyan, Bei Ming Haotian remained silent and simply observed the situation.
"Young master, I have not been strict enough in disciplining this servant girl. Please do not take this lowly maid seriously. I apologize to you here." Baili Yuechan bowed slightly...
"Wait, Princess Yuechan, the one you should apologize to is not me, but Yan'er." Tian Haoze quickly stopped Baili Yuechan's actions. Did he not know what Baili Yuechan was thinking? However, since she wanted to slap herself, he was happy to oblige.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuechan's eyes darkened. He actually wanted her to apologize to Nangong Ziyan. However... Baili Yuechan looked at Nangong Ziyan, then at Beiming Haotian, and immediately put on a delicate expression.
"Miss Nangong, it is my fault for not disciplining her properly. Miss Nangong, please be magnanimous and do not stoop to the level of this lowly servant." Baili Yuechan thought to herself that everything she had done today could be repaid in the future. However, based on her observation, Beiming Haotian preferred women who were a little delicate.
"So you are Princess Yuechan of the Qihe Dynasty?" Nangong Ziyan sneered, and then said, "Princess Yuechan has condescended to apologize to me today. I hope she won't hold a grudge!"
“Miss Nangong, what are you saying? I am not that kind of person,” Baili Yuechan said with a smile, maintaining her image perfectly.
"As the saying goes, you can't see into someone's heart, you can know their face but not their heart. Some things are hard to say. But seeing Princess Yuechan's sincerity, I will forgive your lowly servant." Nangong Ziyan spoke the last sentence very harshly. Although Baili Yuechan was beautiful, her heart was...
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss Nangong." Baili Yuechan smiled perfectly, but no one could see that her ten fingers under her wide sleeves had already dug into her skin. Only pain could make her suppress the anger in her heart.
But Baili Jun'ao, who knew her well, had long understood that Baili Yuechan had reached her limit. This Nangong Ziyan was truly remarkable, making Baili Yuechan do things she had never done in her entire life. How could Baili Yuechan not hold a grudge? She would probably get her revenge on Nangong Ziyan in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our Cloud Mist Palace will continue the auction. If you have no objections, we will now present the fourth treasure." Gao Lang didn't want to waste any time; he still needed to hand it over to the Demon Lord later.
"President Gao, please." After saying that, Baili Yuechan stepped back to her seat. Today, she had really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. She had wanted to embarrass Nangong Ziyan, but she didn't expect to get herself into trouble. When had Baili Yuechan ever been so pathetic?
"Yifei, tell the city lord and his wife that after the Wind and Cloud Tournament, Ziyan will personally return to the South Sea Glazed Palace to resolve this matter in front of everyone." Nangong Ziyan knew that Dongfang Yifei and his mother would not give up, not for any other reason than what Venerable Yunxiao had said back then.
"Then Yan'er, can you tell me how you want to resolve this matter?" Dongfang Yifei pressed, a hint of coldness rising in his eyes, his fists clenching involuntarily.
“Yifei, of course we should resolve it as it comes. Yan’er wants to participate in the Fengyun Competition, we’ll talk about it when she comes back.” Nangong Jingqi couldn’t stand the scrutinizing look in Dongfang Yifei’s eyes as he looked at his sister, so she couldn’t help but speak up.
"Alright! We can resolve this after the Fengyun Tournament. My parents also want to see Yan'er's performance at the Fengyun Tournament." Dongfang Yifei suddenly became amiable again, and turned to walk back to his seat.
"Young Master Tian, I am Yan'er's elder brother, Nangong Ruichen. Thank you for your help earlier." Nangong Ruichen cupped his hands in greeting to Tian Haoze. Through Venerable Nanxing, he already knew who Tian Haoze was.
"Yes! Thank you! Brother Tian." Nangong Jingqi took a liking to Tian Haoze at first sight and called him Brother Tian without hesitation.
“Young Master, Brother Jingqi, we are all family. The appearance of Sister Yan’er makes me feel like I have family too. Since she is my sister, I will not let others bully her.”
As Tian Haoze spoke, he winked at Nangong Ziyan, looking somewhat smug, as all the credit went to Tian Haoze.
"Young Master Tian is right, we are all one family."
Bei Ming Haotian, standing to the side, didn't seem to find anything wrong with it. He didn't like interacting with outsiders, so he didn't talk much.
"Demon Lord, can we talk?" Nangong Ruichen looked at Beiming Haotian. It was time to open up and talk about some things.
"Big brother..." Nangong Ziyan was afraid that he would not approve of her relationship with Haotian, so she said something that would hurt Haotian.
"Yan'er, come along too!"
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian agreed without saying anything.
"Haoze, you stay here and take charge of things here."
"Go ahead and don't worry!" Tian Haoze smiled and immediately sent a secret message to Bei Minghaotian, "Haotian, in front of Yan'er's two brothers, get Yan'er's marriage arranged as soon as possible. From what I've observed recently, several men are eyeing Yan'er. Even though Yan'er says she will only marry you, you still need to work harder."
Bei Ming Haotian glanced at Tian Haoze, but didn't reply. He then led Nangong Ziyan and her two siblings away.
As Baili Yuechan watched their retreating figures, a warning bell rang in her heart. Should she quicken her pace? She knew that deep down, there was an even more ruthless side to her.
Baili Jun'ao felt even worse; amidst the bustling crowd, he felt like a completely alone person.
