The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

301-305

Helian Wei Wei agreed and allowed Chen Yifeng to settle the rest of the matter.

At first, Qing Zhan wanted to assist Chen Yifeng, but the moment she took a step forward, somebody grabbed her arm.

Without giving her the chance to escape, Nangong Lie dragged her over and strode toward the door.

"Hey, you!" Chen Yifeng intended to hold him back initially.

Nangong Lie threw him a cold glance, "It's none of your business, get lost!"

The Genius Worshipper had his temper as well.

Being the heir of the Worshipper for the entire War Dragon Empire, once Nangong Lie tore his recklessness apart, buried deep underneath it would be nothing but unbearable coldness!

Chen Yifeng heard about Nangong Lie as he and their boss Helian Wei Wei used to be in the same team before. Both were from the Inferior Compound as well. From the surface, their relationship seemed to be pretty good.

Today... To be honest, Chen Yifeng was a bit confused!

Qing Zhan knew this young master well as she had served him for almost 10 years, thus instead of struggling she just lifted her eyes and said in a flat tone, "Young Master Lie, if there is anything just say it here, Yifeng and I still have things to settle."

"Yifeng?" Nangong Lie looked back, his tone icy unlike his usual way of speaking, "What an intimate way to call his name. What, now that you have changed your master, you've changed the person you like as well, right?"

Qing Zhan pulled her hand back, as if she was making a statement, "Young Master Lie, as you know, my master has changed now, and as a servant I have to be loyal to my new master. So Young Master Lie, please don't put me in such an awkward position."

The word 'servant' kept on buzzing around his ears. It made Nangong Lie feel irritated. Taking a deep breath, he lowered his tone, "What if I said that it was just a coincidence that I passed by here today and I never thought that they would insult you like this, would you trust me?"

"I would."

These two words, replied in such a quick manner made Nangong Lie feel that something was wrong.

"Is there anything else, Young Master Lie? If not, please excuse us." Standing there with her back straight, never in her life had Qing Zhan imagined that one day she could straighten her back to that extent. Today, if not for the princess consort, she would never understand this feeling at all. She had been loving someone for so long until she lost track of her self esteem. That was why people took advantage of her weak spot and kept on attacking her, making her no longer remember where her pride was.

Nangong Lie watched as the girl in front of him walked toward another man, slow and steady. The both of them paid compensation to the teahouse. Those bystanders who were watching just now had all become wary of them.

Yun Biluo was sitting on the floor with Hei Zhu still in her arms, tears streaking down her face.

Nangong Lie barely regretted anything, yet he regretted coming to this teahouse today.

He certainly would not let those who mocked her get away with it so easily.

He just wanted her to realize the disadvantages of leaving him.

But...

Bang!

As if he could not stand it anymore, Nangong Lie kicked the wooden stool beside him and left the teahouse. He feared that he might lose control if he continued staying there.
