Zhan Fei did not react until the pain from his limbs pa.s.sed through him. Through his gritted teeth, he gave out a stifled groan.

He did not dare to even scream out loud.

Su Lingsheng and Lei Min were scared out of their wits. They did not think that Xing Lou’s subordinates were so decisive in their actions as there was completely no forewarning.

Su Lingsheng’s legs started to tremble uncontrollably and she could not even kneel properly. Lei Min’s face had also turned sheet white. With his head lowered and his heart filled with anxiety, he did not dare to even squeak.

The dark guard kept his bow and stood at the side.

Xing Lou did not even glance at Zhan Fei. That pair of silent eyes was only looking straight at Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan was a little stunned as she looked at Xing Lou with mixed emotions. Within these seconds, she really could not tell what Xing Lou had wanted to do.

“How do you want to deal with him?” Xing Lou asked calmly. His attractive voice sounded like a zither in the hall reeking of blood.

Ji Fengyan only had complicated expression on her face.

What exactly was this grand tutor thinking?

He was really intending on letting her deal with Zhan Fei?

Seeing that Ji Fengyan did not say anything, Xing Lou shot the dark guard an apathetic look. The next instant, the dark guard took out an arrow and loaded it on his bow as he aimed it towards Zhan Fei’s head!

Everyone was stunned and even Linghe and the others had a dumbfounded look on their faces. They had long forgotten the matter of settling scores with Zhan Fei.

“Grand tutor! Please have mercy!” Lei Min, with his face still pale, said suddenly. He knelt unsteadily on the ground and implored, “grand tutor! This was our mistake. Please let Master Zhan Fei off, considering that he is a terminator. Master Zhan Fei had gone into battle and killed many people from the Demon Clan for the kingdom. Even though he may have acted inappropriately, please have mercy on him and let him off this time!”

As Lei Min said, he continued to kowtow to Xing Lou and the dull sound of the kowtow resounded in the hall.

But…

Xing Lou’s face did not have any change in emotions.

Ji Fengyan snapped out of her daze and felt a little strange. But since matters had reached this extent, it was really difficult for her to deal with.

“Uh, I think this should be enough.” Ji Fengyan cleared her throat and said.

Xing Lou shot Ji Fengyan a puzzling look as his brows frowned, as if he thought that she should not be this kind.

No matter what Xing Lou was thinking, Ji Fengyan had no intentions of becoming the eldest princess’s nemesis. Moreover, Zhan Fei was the terminator bestowed upon the eldest princess. If he had really died in her residence, who knew what implications there would be.

Ji Fengyan had intended on giving Zhan Fei a lesson and let him die mysteriously after he left her residence.

Unfortunately, this plan was foiled by Xing Lou.

Such a simple yet violent punishment was bound to acc.u.mulate hatred for her. Ji Fengyan did not fear anything as she always could escape, but it was difficult for Linghe and the rest to not be involved..

Xing Lou looked at Ji Fengyan for a long time until he was certain that Ji Fengyan really had such intentions. Then, he lifted his hand to get his dark guard to keep his bow and backed away to the side.

Lei Min heaved a sigh of relief inside, but his sweat had already soaked his clothes.

“This is Ji City, even a royal family member cannot act so rashly. Go back and inform the eldest princess that the person who punished you today was me,” Xing Lou turned around and looked coldly at Zhan Fei, who was sitting in a pool of blood.
