Chapter 284 Knowing When to Back Down



This was definitely good news for them, as Lin Xiuyan knew how important Ye Qingwan was to Ye Junfei.

They arrived just in time, and there was still a chance to rescue Ye Qingwan.

Ye Junfei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're right, this is actually good news, but we need to think carefully about how to save Qingwan."

Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms and said, "This also means that they can't do anything to us right now."

"To some extent, the initiative is now in our hands."

"Now that we have the initiative, they can no longer dictate what happens next."

Ye Junfei looked at her and asked, "What good idea do you have?"

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I don't have any good ideas, but I hate being threatened the most."

"They went to such great lengths to kill us this time, so we should repay them in kind and give them a little surprise."

Upon hearing this, Ye Junfei felt a bad premonition: "What do you want to do?"

She whispered a few words in Ye Junfei's ear, and his face instantly darkened: "No! This is too dangerous!"

Lin Xiuyan lowered her almond-shaped eyes slightly, a faint smile on her face: "Danger? It can't be more dangerous than when we were surrounded by cavalry in the manor."

"Qingwan is your sister and also my friend. As long as she has a breath left, I will find a way to save her."

“If I don’t agree, even Yama, the King of Hell, can’t take her away, let alone that bastard Ye Jingxian.”

Even though the outside world is fraught with danger, her words made everyone want to laugh.

Today, they faced death by the skin of their teeth, following Lin Xiuyan as she cut down trees, dug up vines, and stripped people of their clothes. They barely even had a chance to wield a knife, yet they had already killed hundreds of Xuan-character soldiers.

Although doing these jobs left me with a sore back, aching legs, and cramps, I felt great!

Ever since they returned to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion with Ye Junfei, they have been bullied by the people there quite often.

There were times when we would retaliate, but because the difference in strength was too great, it would be nitpicking to openly fight them.

Of the guards Ye Junfei brought back from the capital, many have died or been injured in the past six months.

Although they also killed many people on the other side, they had never killed the most people with the least cost as they had today.

Although they didn't dare to criticize Ye Junfei's marriage, many guards secretly felt that Lin Xiuyan was not good enough for Ye Junfei.

Given Ye Junfei's current situation, he should marry a woman from a prestigious family; only then would he have a chance to win over Ye Jingxian. (cascoo.net)

Now they discover that although their Crown Princess has a humble background, she is incredibly capable.

After they arrived at the cave today, she anticipated almost all the reactions of the Xuanzi Camp members, gaining the upper hand in every situation.

Wu Ge and the others did not hear Lin Xiuyan's plan clearly, but that did not stop them from supporting her.

Wu Ge smiled and said, "What the Crown Princess says is true. Even if things are miserable, they can't be as miserable as what we experienced at the manor."

"I will support whatever the Crown Princess wants to do right now."

Ye Junfei gave him a cold look, then grinned lewdly and said, "We have all witnessed the Crown Princess's abilities."

“She is bold, meticulous, and capable. Now, as long as she says she can do something, I feel that she can do it.”

Lin Xiuyan said with a serious expression, "Stop trying to flatter me, I'm not buying it."

After she finished speaking, she turned her back to Wu Ge, put her hand behind her back, and gave him a thumbs up.

When Wu Ge saw the thumbs-up, he felt incredibly proud of himself, confident that he had secured his position with the Crown Princess.

Lin Xiuyan then said to Ye Junfei, "Even Wu Ge trusts me, so why don't you trust me?"

Ye Junfei said to Wu Ge with a gentle expression, "Do you dare to repeat what you just said?"

Upon seeing his unusually gentle face, Wu Ge immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I wouldn't dare!"

He felt that he had really gotten a little carried away by being with Lin Xiuyan today, letting loose and being himself.

Otherwise, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to disobey Ye Junfei's wishes.

Lin Xiuyan glanced at Wu Ge sideways. She used to think that Wu Dao was Ye Junfei's number one lackey, but now she realized that Wu Ge was the real one.

This lackey is weak-willed; he cowered at the slightest intimidation from Ye Junfei.

She had hoped he would help persuade Ye Junfei, but now she had to do it herself.

She knelt down in front of Ye Junfei and asked, "Does Your Highness think my abilities are inadequate?"

Ye Junfei said calmly, "Of course not. Few people in the world can match your abilities."

Lin Xiuyan asked again, "Are you worried that after I leave the cave, I will run away and abandon you?"

Ye Junfei glanced at her: "If you didn't leave when we entered the manor, you won't leave."

Lin Xiuyan asked again, "Do you think I'm not as smart as that stinky bastard Ye Jingxian?"

Ye Junfei replied, "Ten Ye Jingxians wouldn't be a match for you."

Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then what are you worried about?"

Ye Junfei's gaze was deep and unfathomable: "If you are only facing Ye Jingxian, I naturally have nothing to worry about."

"But he still has half of the Xuan-character battalion under his command. They are all skilled and have trained together for many years, so they have great teamwork and are extremely powerful in combat."

“You are not facing Ye Jingxian alone, but the entire Xuanzi Camp.”

Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "You're right, but so what?"

"Right now, they've given us a chance to save Qingwan. This is a rare opportunity, and I can't give it up."

"Besides, I'm not fighting alone this time; I have the Crown Prince behind me."

"Does Your Highness think that with your abilities, you can't hold off the Xuan-class soldiers?"

Ye Junfei frowned, and Lin Xiuyan raised her chin slightly and said, "It's a miracle that a few of us killed hundreds of Xuan-character soldiers."

"If I can create this miracle, I can create another one."

After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Ye Junfei and said, "Let me tell you a secret: apart from the time I suffered a loss at your hands, no one else has ever been able to make me suffer a loss."

When Ye Junfei met her almond-shaped eyes that shone brighter than the stars in the sky, his feelings were complicated.

He looked at her and said, "How about I just lie here and let you bully me?"

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

Such a serious topic was steered in an extremely inappropriate direction by his shrug.

She bit her lip lightly and said, "Don't interrupt!"

"To tell you the truth, whether you agree or not, I'm determined to save Qingwan."

Wu Ge silently moved to the side.

After all, the last person to speak to his young master like that is now buried with grass growing as tall as a person.

He was genuinely afraid that Ye Junfei might draw his sword and kill his wife if he was displeased.

Unexpectedly, Ye Junfei had no intention of making a move. He only said, "Lin Xiuyan, my injuries are because of you."
