The main gate of the military academy...
Ye He rushed forward angrily and grabbed Su Cheng's wrist!
"Alright! I've got you! Su Cheng, huh!"
Following Ku Mu's advice, Su Cheng adopted the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman.
"It's you! Young lady, I've been looking for you these past few days. I'm very sorry for bumping into you last time, but I have urgent business to attend to and cannot stay any longer. I will take responsibility for the jade pendant!"
"You'll take responsibility? Then you'll pay with your life!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye He drew her sword from her waist and chased after Su Cheng, slashing at him right at the academy gate!
Although Su Cheng did not yet possess the strength of the King of Gods, he was not someone a weak woman could harm. After all, he was a prince and possessed some skill.
"Hey, hey, girl! Don't worry, I really won't renege on my debt, I can make it up to you!"
"If you really want to take responsibility, don't run away. Pay with your life!"
Kumu, hiding in the distance, simply watched the two causing a ruckus at the academy gate with a calm expression.
Years later, when Ku Mu thinks back on this incident, he can only wonder if the outcome would have been different if he had been the one to smash Ye He's jade pendant.
The inner city guards arrived shortly afterward, but as far as Su Cheng was concerned, they were all his father's men, so why would they arrest him?
"Su Cheng! You'll die a horrible death!"
The stunningly beautiful young woman was held firmly in place by the inner city guards, while Su Cheng remained unharmed.
The young girl had no power or influence in the inner city, so it was inevitable that she would suffer a loss for a while. Even a powerful dragon can hardly suppress a local snake.
If Su Cheng wanted, the most her mother could get would be a corpse, or a corpse that had been violated to death.
Even though the consequences are severe, it is not impossible for Sucheng to do it.
Royal power is unshakeable, Ye He is unshakeable, and so is her mother.
The girl's insults were extremely harsh, and Su Cheng's entire family, including his unborn child, was hurled at one by one.
She was plagued by a chronic illness and endless misfortune, and the girl's words were utterly wicked...
But Su Cheng didn't expect that the girl would start crying as she continued cursing...
"Your Highness, what should we do with this girl? Do you need my help...?"
"Don't make things difficult for her, just let her go."
The next day, Ku Mu asked for leave, and Su Cheng found Ye He alone and arranged to meet her by the training field. Su Cheng spoke very sincerely.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that jade pendant was so important to you. Are the fragments still there? Perhaps I can ask Lady Mengdie for help..."
"I don't need your apology. If you really want to apologize, then stand there and don't move, let me kill you."
"I genuinely want to make it up to you, can you give me a chance?"
For three days in a row, whether Ye He got annoyed or gave in, she eventually took out the fragments of the jade pendant.
"Who is this Lady Mengdie you mentioned? Does she really have a way?"
“She is my mother’s sister. She can wield the power of the gods, so she should be able to find a way.”
Even if you fix it, I will never forgive you!
But in reality, how could a broken jade pendant possibly be repaired?
Su Cheng seemed to have suddenly realized something, and all his actions at this moment coincided with what Ku Mu had said.
The jade pendant cannot be repaired, but Su Cheng can be given to Ye He as a replacement.
When Su Cheng's mother heard that Su Cheng and Ye He had been getting close recently, she lifted Su Cheng's confinement and even showed great concern for their relationship.
Although she is said to be the princess of Suzhou, she already has someone in mind.
Although a princess has already been chosen, it doesn't affect Su Cheng's good relationship with Ye He. It's always good to be on good terms with both Ye He and her mother; having more friends is always better than having more enemies.
A month later, the news that the two were getting close had spread far and wide, but neither of them were the type to care about rumors.
That day, Ye He acted unusually, just like the time she came to the academy gate, carrying a sword.
"Su Cheng, the jade pendant can't be repaired, right?"
Su Cheng slowly took out the jade pendant that he had been carrying for several days. Even the Dream Butterfly could not mend a broken mirror. Even if the broken jade pendant was pieced together, the cracks would still remain.
Even the smallest crack can be seen, let alone one that is visible to the naked eye. How could Ye He agree to this?
"Yes, I begged Lady Mengdie, but this is the best I can achieve..."
I shouldn't have trusted you!
"......"
The day had finally come. Ku Mu hadn't taught Su Cheng how to handle the situation, and Su Cheng wasn't good at dealing with girls either.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you say you wouldn't renege on your debt? If you're a man, stand there and don't move!"
These days, Su Cheng has heard a lot from Ye He, including stories about Grandma Fox and her mother.
But it seemed that Ye He was a different person today, as if her identity card had expired.
However, Su Cheng could understand; it was time.
"Um."
Suzhou has always been like this; this wasn't some pre-arranged ploy.
No one would risk their life to gamble on the other party showing mercy, and Su Cheng is definitely not the kind of person who acts impulsively, otherwise she wouldn't be Xiao Ai's most outstanding master.
The reason it wasn't done was simply because Su Cheng said he would take responsibility.
Even the King of Gods is not indestructible; he can cut his fingers on sharp new paper and have his heart pierced by lies.
The longsword pierced through Su Cheng's body with ease. Su Cheng didn't move at all, and didn't even blink, as if the sword had pierced someone else's body.
The bleeding was heavy, but Ye He was clearly still not satisfied, and stabbed in again with her sword, only then did she seem to be content.
