Chapter 216.4 - Submit to Me, And You’ll Ascend to Ninth Heavens with Desire
Jiang Shang Lin raised his head and replied: “Jiang here naturally realizes that. But this young lady was rude to me first and I should have the right to deal with it.”
After saying that, he paused for a moment before he continued: “Although the Fragrance Court is backed by some powerful might, neither am I a Jiang who should be be easily slighted as well.. I do not think that the Fragrance Court will come interfere while I deal with personal matters would they?”
His tone of voice was tinged with a hint of haughtiness.
Jiang Shang Lin dared to speak so confidently here because he had an elder brother working for one of the Four Great Families in the White Fens Lands, who held a rather significant position. And it was because of that identity that many people did not dare go against his wishes as that was afterall a higher realm of stronger power, who would dare to carelessly offend him?
Upon hearing that, Lu Ji laughed and her enchanting face looked even more alluring because of that. But the words that came out from that petite mouth however caused Jiang Shang Lin’s face to turn green.
She said: “Who do you think you are to even dare to compare yourself to the Fragrance Court? Haven’t you looked in the mirror to see yourself lately?”
Lu Ji was known to have quite a poisonous tongue, a point that everyone in the Fragrance Court knew well. But she seldom lashed out at people and when she did, she was the type that would not stop.
Qing Yu who had been watching by the side stood with her eyes curved into crescents, unable to help but smile.
[This woman really has quite a personality but she has never seen this woman when she used to frequent the place back before. The man called her Lu Ji and it would seem like her identity is similar to that of Lian Ji and the others.]
No matter how well Jiang Shang Lin was able to act, after having been drenched with a whole pot of tea by Qing Yu and being humiliated by Lu Ji, even a mud figurine would still possess a spark of fire in them, let alone this petty and bad tempered live human. It would really be strange if he continued to endure it and did not erupt.
“Lu Ji, do not push a person too far! I gave in to you because I did not want to be so calculative with a lone woman. Know that in this matter here, you have no right to interfere and you’re being too much! I, Jiang Shang Lin is someone that’s not to be trifled with!”
Jiang Shang Lin said those words in a malevolent tone and then signalled to his subordinates with a look. “What are all of you still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and capture that impudent little wench right now!”
“I’ll like to see who dares!” Lu Ji said with a chilling holler. “If you dare to even lay a single finger on this young lady here today, I will make sure you go out through the Fragrance Court’s doors horizontally.”
“You!”
Qing Yu smiled to herself. [Is this woman standing up for her?]
Although she did not know why, she felt quite touched by the gesture.
Jiang Shang Lin saw that Lu Ji was not giving him any face and he was not able to hold himself back anymore. [No matter how highly skilled, she’s still just one single person. With so many of his men here, would they be unable to take her on? These men are all highly skilled guards his elder brother sent down from the White Fens Lands to protect him!]
It was probably because his elder brother knew his younger brother’s ability in stirring up trouble and that was why he had sent sent people down from the White Fens Lands to come protect him.
Just as Lu Ji was right about to make her move, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps from behind and then heard the familiar voice of a man ring out anxiously.
“Little ancestor, how did you run all the way here! ?”
