"Lan Linxue! Haven't you obtained enough of everything in this world?"
Lan Xiuyuan let out a sharp shout, clearly furious, and abandoned even the most basic pretense, directly calling Lan Linxue by her name.
"Let me tell you, Lan Linxue, I can give you anything in this world, but when it comes to Kou'er, I will never back down an inch, even if it means death!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lan Linxue was so angry that her eyes turned red. "What is Kou'er? You think you can just give her away like that? You think you can just snatch her like that?! Let me tell you, Kou'er is my most precious treasure, far more valuable than that worthless empire you value so much! Don't even think about touching Kou'er with your filthy hands! Besides, nothing in this world has ever been given to me by you. Everything I have, I have taken back with my own abilities!"
"What skills do you have?" Lan Xiuyuan looked at Lan Linxue with disdain, taking a step forward and staring intently at him. "Your only skill is the Emperor's favor! Otherwise, you'd be less than a stray dog on the street!"
The people below stared wide-eyed at the two men, who had clearly become ruthless and unrecognizable mad dogs for the sake of Miss Qin. Especially Lan Xiuyuan, who found the man before him to be vastly different from the legendary Gentle Jade Gentleman.
Lan Linxue burst into laughter: "Lan Xiuyuan, I've always said you're all bark and no bite! Do you think there's anything more powerful in this world than gaining the Emperor's favor? Don't forget, you're also the Emperor's son. How come after all these years of fawning and flattery, you still have nothing? I caused such a huge disaster, while you did such virtuous deeds, yet in the end, I'm still a prince, and you're just a county prince. Don't forget, you have a vixen-like mother in the palace, but my mother died unjustly in flames ten years ago. What? You had so many supporters, yet you still lost to me. You still think I'm incompetent! I think you look exactly like a pig!"
Qin Kou'er was truly impressed. If Lan Linxue were to go out and fight in the future, he wouldn't need to lead any troops at all. Just his mouth would be more than enough.
These vicious words were so offensive that even she felt uncomfortable hearing them; they were truly humiliating.
Lan Xiuyuan couldn't take it anymore. He rushed towards Lan Linxue without thinking. His face was filled with a crazy hatred and viciousness. If he couldn't kill Lan Linxue today, he probably wouldn't live for another minute.
Lan Linxue was even less afraid of trouble. He wanted to force Lan Xiuyuan to kill him, preferably by actually stabbing him, so that he could turn the tables and kill him.
In short, both of them were determined to kill the other, so they showed no mercy whatsoever.
Seeing that the two were about to engage in a life-or-death struggle again, Qin Kou'er's face instantly darkened. She first quickly approached Lan Linxue and tapped him on the back a few times, then pushed Lan Linxue aside, and gently pinched the dagger in Lan Xiuyuan's hand with her fingers, breaking it instantly. She then quickly tapped him on the body a few times as well.
The two of them suddenly collapsed and couldn't move.
Qin Kou'er gave them a cold look, then ordered her subordinates, "Put your master on a stool and then leave!"
The seventh brother and Lan Xiuyuan's men glared fiercely at each other, then quickly helped their master up and put him down, but no one took the initiative to go out.
Qin Kou'er's face grew even uglier as she swept her gaze across the room: "Didn't you all hear what I said? Do you really want to witness the power of my Qin Tian Pavilion? Or do you all think this place is a general store, unable to handle you fierce and ruthless old men!"
As she spoke, Qin Kou'er glanced at Hai Tian.
Hai Tian immediately blew a short whistle.
With a whoosh, countless short bows and crossbows appeared all around, surrounding the group of people inside the house.
Lan Linxue glanced coldly at Qin Kou'er, but didn't say anything, only waved her hand.
The people below immediately left.
Lan Xiuyuan watched as Lan Linxue's men retreated, and then waved to his own men. In an instant, the room was quiet, with only three people remaining.
Qin Kou'er gave the two of them a cold look, then found the last intact chair and sat down gently.
"Your Highnesses, aren't you showing far too little respect for me, the Pavilion Master Qin Tian, who has shown you kindness!"
Qin Kou'er's voice was steady, but very deep, so deep that it exuded a strong chill without much effort.
Lan Xiuyuan stared at Lan Linxue with a dark and angry expression, without saying a word.
Lan Linxue snorted, then glanced at Qin Kou'er and said wickedly, "Qin Kou'er, you'd better give me a straight answer right now so that Lan Xiuyuan will give up on marrying you!"
Qin Kou'er glared at him fiercely, "Lan Linxue! Can you please stop interfering in my affairs? I can do whatever I want, what right do you have to tell me what to do!"
"I've taken a liking to you! Is that not allowed?"
Even if Lan Linxue was furious, she would never say it now, given that you are carrying my child.
Qin Kou'er really wanted to rush up and strangle Lan Linxue, but she saw a flicker of emotion in Lan Linxue's gaze as she stared at her.
Qin Kou'er immediately sensed that this guy was up to something.
Sure enough, Lan Linxue turned her gaze from Qin Kou'er's face to Lan Xiuyuan: "Lan Xiuyuan, I don't think it's meaningful for the two of us to fight like dogs right now. How about this, we'll take advantage of this selection process and each rely on our own abilities. Whoever has the ability to get Kou'er to become a candidate for the imperial concubine selection will be the winner! What do you say?"
