Yaoyao awkwardly withdrew her hand that she had stretched out. She pulled a face at Long Yin. "When we get home, I''ll tell Father that you bullied me, Royal Brother. He''ll punish you!"
Long Yin''s eyes narrowed and said pointedly, "Let''s see if Father will end up punishing you or me."
Yaoyao went nk.
She had entered the Yan Kingdom without getting permission from her parents and had epted Beitang You''s proposal on her own. If her father found out about this, he would punish her severely.
Yaoyao was immediately defeated by this thought.
"Just pretend I didn''t say anything."
Long Yin nced at her and said nothing.
Beitang You''s hand reached out past Long Yin when he saw the girl''s dejected little face and he gripped Yaoyao''s fingers. He gave her aforting squeeze. "Don''t worry. I will personally ask for forgiveness from your parents."
ng!
Long Yin suddenly pulled out his sword. The chilling re from the sword was reflected on Beitang You''s face.
Chen Jin and the others had their hands on their swords, as if gearing to fight a great enemy. However, they released their grips when they Beitang You shot them a sharp, intimidating look.
As for Hexin and the others, who were behind them, they were so frightened by the sight that they did not even dare to breathe.
Beitang You turned his gaze away from them. His hand was still holding Yaoyao''s firmly. His expression looked normal when he turned to face Long Yin. There was even a small smile on his face. "Yin''er, are you thinking about fighting me with your martial arts skills?"
Long Yin''s gaze fell onto Beitang You''s hand, which was holding Yaoyao''s. His voice was as cold as frost. "You''re mistaken, Big Brother Beitang. I just wanted to check that my sword is sharp enough." With that, he suddenly lifted his hand with the sword and swung it straight at Beitang You''s arm.
"Big Brother!" Yaoyao''s face turned pale as she shouted.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Beitang You quickly lifted his other hand to cover her eyes. "It''s fine. If your big brother thinks my arm is better than a sharpening stone, let him test out his sword."
The powerful sword intent was sharp enough to damage a person''s skin by itself.
Chen Jin and the rest closed their eyes.
They waited for a bloody scene to unfold, but then they heard another ''ng''—the sword had been ced back into its sheath.
Everyone looked over, relieved to see Long Yin put his sword away.
Chen Jin, Qi Heng, and the others all felt like a weight was taken off their shoulders.
Chen Jin was worried about his master''s safety while Qi Heng and the others were trying to be careful while being in the Yan Kingdom. If the Crown Prince had really chopped off Beitang You''s arm, it would be difficult to resolve this. After all, they were currently in the Pce of the Yan Kingdom.
The abrupt situation that unfolded made everyone break out in cold sweat. Only the two people directly involved were acting as if nothing had happened as they continued conversing casually.
Long Yin began to walk toward the inner hall. It was as if what had just happened was nothing but a dream.
Beitang You removed the hand covering Yaoyao''s eyes and held her hand, following behind Long Yin into the inner hall without holding a grudge. He acted as if what had just happened was nothing but a casual exchange.
Yuan You had been hugging Hexin''s arm tightly; only now did she rx her grip a little. She gulped and said in a small voice, "I was so frightened. The Crown Prince of Great Shang is so intimidating. Was he really nning to chop off His Majesty''s arm? He was kidding, right?"
Hexin was feeling quite tense as well. She recovers her senses and let out a long sigh. She shook her head and said, "No. He wasn''t kidding at all. He was serious about chopping it off."
Yuan You was at a loss for words. "That''s so arrogant of him. This is the Yan Kingdom, not his own country, Great Shang."
Hexin said matter-of-factly, "He isn''t afraid of that at all. If he dared to try that, he would already have a n on how to get away with it."
