As soon as Hua Ruocheng spoke, Su Pingyun broke out in a cold sweat, because he knew very well that this prince was of a decent temperament and rarely killed anyone, but Hua Ruocheng could almost be described as a ruthless killer.
“Mr. Hua, I really didn’t mean to cause trouble for the Prince. It’s just that I truly love this woman, which is why I did this.”
Hua Ruocheng toyed with an exquisite folding fan in his hand. "The human heart is the most complicated thing. What people say and what they think may not be the same, so I never believe what others say."
Su Pingyun kowtowed repeatedly, each kowtow forcefully, and soon her forehead was covered in blood. "Mr. Hua, if I have truly done something wrong this time, then please punish me."
"You just want me to punish you less severely, not because you're genuinely repentant. But this time I don't intend to do anything to you, just a small warning. Don't think I don't know what you've done."
Su Pingyun, who had just been clinging to a sliver of hope, was now in turmoil. She had always thought that what she had done was flawless, but she never expected that nothing could escape Hua Ruocheng's eyes.
Just then, Chu Tianxing finally spoke up, "Alright, stop scaring him. Although he does have some minor issues, he's always been a very good person. How will he do anything if you scare him like this?"
Hua Ruocheng said coldly, "Since the prince has spoken, I will not make things difficult for you. Go down and receive ten lashes. I do not wish to hear anything about you before I return."
After Su Pingyun nodded repeatedly to indicate that she understood, she carefully withdrew.
After Su Pingyun left, Hua Ruocheng took out a letter. "This is the letter that Lord Wang asked me to give you. I have already read it. It asks the prince to promote a junior he has just met. Although I don't know what the relationship is, it seems that he is very concerned about it."
Chu Tianxing said with slight surprise, "If I remember correctly, this guy never asks for help. What's wrong with him today? Has he changed his personality? This is really interesting."
"I don't know. It's very likely that this young man is different in some way, which is why Lord Wang is so concerned about him and made him act on schedule. As for whether Your Highness should get involved or not, that's entirely up to Your Highness."
Chu Tianxing took the letter, read it through, and said, "Ning Ye, if anyone with that name appears in the future, then pay more attention to him. He went to great lengths to ask me to do something, and as his friend, I can't let him down."
Enough of the small talk, after all, Ning Ye's business today is not over yet. After dealing with Su Pingyun's matter, there is still a banquet to attend tonight that he hasn't done.
Naturally, Ning Ye decided not to stand him up and went directly to see what this Master Huang was really up to.
As night fell, most people had already gone home to prepare for sleep, but Ning Ye rode his tall horse and led a group of people out in a swaggering manner.
Such ostentation inevitably drew attention along the way, so if anything were to happen, Ning Ye wouldn't need to say anything; everyone could serve as his witness.
Upon arriving at the Huang family's residence, the gates were wide open, and it seemed that everything that needed to be prepared had been provided for Ning Ye.
From the moment Ning Ye dismounted, he received a very grand welcome, which made Ning Ye wonder what the other party was really up to.
Logically speaking, the two of them should have a deep-seated hatred for each other, but they don't seem to feel that way at all right now.
However, we'll have to see today's main character to find out exactly what will happen.
Following the butler's lead, after passing through a rather luxurious landscaped garden, we finally entered the central area of the Huang family's residence.
A pavilion specifically designed for receiving guests appeared before Ning Ye's eyes. The pavilion had six floors, and just looking at the outside, one could tell that it had cost a fortune, not to mention that considerable effort had been put into the interior as well.
He thought he would only see Huang Wancai after going inside, but to his surprise, Huang Wancai was there to greet him at the door. "You must be Ning Ye, Young Master Ning. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but I did not expect you to be so young."
As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Ning Ye clasped his hands and said, "Master Huang's name is renowned far and wide. But after meeting him today, I find that he may not be as terrifying as the rumors suggest."
"It's just some rumors from the outside world. Do you think Young Master Ning would believe those rumors? We invited you here today because you are one of the few outstanding young talents in our area."
Wang Wu, who was following behind Ning Ye, sneered inwardly. No matter how many smiles this old man had on his face, you couldn't believe a little bit. If you believed even a little bit, you might be doomed.
Inside, there was singing and dancing, and the banquet was ready. There weren't many people there; apart from the dancing women, it seemed that only Master Huang was present.
Ning Ye wasn't afraid at all and took a seat directly. "Master Huang, you asked me to come today, and I'm here now. If you have something to say, please speak up. This will save both of us some time. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of this banquet."
Master Huang's smile remained unaffected. "Young Master Ning, why are you in such a hurry? We have no deep-seated hatred between us, so why can't we sit down and have a proper talk?"
A question mark slowly appeared above Ning Ye's head. Could it be that Huang Wancai didn't know that he was the one who did what happened before? Then why did he invite him here for drinks?
"Master Huang, I'm the kind of person who likes to finish talking things out before drinking, otherwise the drinking won't be enjoyable."
Huang Wancai nodded in understanding, then clapped his hands, "Since Young Master Ning wants to talk business first, then let's talk."
A person walked out from behind the screen. When this person came out, Ning Ye's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and Wang Wu couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Wang Wu clearly remembered that he personally cut off Huang He's head.
But now the Yellow River is back here perfectly intact, which makes Wang Wu wonder if he really saw a ghost in the middle of the night.
