The second half of the complaint came to an abrupt end!
Snap!
A stinging slap landed on the petite woman's face.
The next second, she was thrown off the carriage by this unrestrained force, her blood boiling, her face filled with panic, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, spare my life!" The petite woman knelt on the ground, her expression pained.
She had no idea what she had said wrong. How could her usually calm and composed master be so angry?
"You're a useless piece of trash, yet you dare to blame him?" Cheng Xianyi narrowed her unfathomable eyes. Half of her face was covered by a veil as she stared at the petite woman, making the other woman tremble.
"It's Ziyan's fault for being incompetent and useless. Ziyan knows she was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will definitely snatch Grand Tutor Cheng back from Zhou Cheng's hands!"
"No matter how powerful his weapon is, I am not afraid and will not let you down again."
These words of pleading fell silent.
Cheng Xianyi raised an eyebrow and sat up straight with elegance.
After a while, she suddenly said something that left her subordinate Ziyan completely baffled: "Well, you're right, he is indeed very capable."
"Not only does it have a grand vision, but it also proceeds step by step with great care."
"The whole capital is buzzing about the power of those weapons, but I hadn't heard a word about it before. This proves that he was far-sighted and had been planning to escape the capital for a long time."
Ziyan endured the pain and looked up in horror.
Is she blind?
Why did I see a hint of pride in my master's eyes?
She, her usually cold-blooded and ruthless master, actually praised an enemy who had kidnapped Grand Tutor Cheng for his profound wisdom and foresight.
Years ago, Cheng Xianyi knew that the Zhou family would face this calamity.
To protect the Zhou family and Zhou Cheng, she spared no effort in growing stronger, concealing her strength, and secretly lying low in the capital. Now, she finally possesses the power to rival the Imperial Guards.
But before she could even take action, Zhou Cheng swept through the enemy with unstoppable momentum, shining brightly.
"Master, shall we still go to rescue Grand Tutor Cheng?" The woman's eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.
"No need." Cheng Xianyi adjusted the gold-embroidered hem of her dress, placing her hands in front of her with an air of nobility and grace, her eyes and brows gentle. "I'll go myself. After all, he can't sleep without me."
"He also spoke to me during the day, asking if I was willing to give up wealth and status to leave the capital with him."
He said he wouldn't leave me alone, that he would take me with him.
"Hmm, he didn't care that Miss Lin was imprisoned by Emperor Yan, but he asked me the only question he asked. Do you think he... um, has a little bit of a crush on me?"
Ziyan: "???"
Hearing these devastating words, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
What nonsense is Master spouting?
In Ziyan's memory, Cheng Xianyi hated men getting close to her and even had a severe case of mysophobia. In the past, there were men who looked down on Cheng Xianyi because she controlled such a large power and tried to get close to her.
But their fates were all extremely tragic; the grass on their graves has been replaced three times over.
"Master, you, you... you're not joking with Ziyan, are you? Why would Zhou Cheng tell you this? He already has a fiancée, the daughter of Grand Tutor Cheng, not you."
“You are the person in charge of our faction, decisive and ruthless, with a mysterious identity. You are not the same type as that weak and helpless young lady from a high-ranking family…” Ziyan said, covering her swollen face.
Although Ziyan didn't know her master's true identity, no matter what, she couldn't possibly be one of those young ladies who only knew how to embroider and play the zither!
