Yi Yancheng heard no hint of protection for him in her words, only how intimate the two of them were!
What did she mean when she said Xu Hengyan no longer listened to her? How much did Xu Hengyan usually listen to her?
Was he more obedient than him? Did he never anger her, nor do anything against her wishes?
That was indeed more compliant than him.
She must be overjoyed, dreaming of waking up with a smile, wishing to take the person back to the Southern Sea Marquis Manor and hide him away!
She was still angry!
What face did she have to be angry when she flirted with everyone?
Yi Yancheng wished to grind Xu Hengyan into ashes! He couldn't even tolerate Xu Hengyan living past today!
Xu Hengyan also had no intention of letting Yi Yancheng off the hook!
If it were for other matters, she would surely comply if he pleaded, but he couldn't do so today.
She had treated Yi Yancheng as a close friend with all her heart. Did she know that Yi Yancheng saw her as a plaything in his palm?
Both regarded each other as thorns in their side, daggers in their flesh. The sky-high burning killing intent seemed capable of destroying everything, and the rock gardens and flowing water in the garden were all violently dismantled by the two.
Xie Jiang's voice was hoarse from shouting. He turned to Wen Feng and Guang Bai and said, "What use is my talking? Not a single one of them is listening to me."
Wen Feng and Guang Bai closed their eyes and could see that the two, who already intended to kill each other, were now fighting even more fiercely after hearing Young Master Xie's words.
Guang Bai couldn't help but suspect that the conflict between the young prince and the regent king originated from Marquis Xie.
But what reason would cause the young prince and the regent king to be so merciless?
"If Young Master Xie's words are useless, then who can the master and Young Master Xu listen to?" Wen Feng looked at the half-destroyed garden, his brows furrowing into a knot.
The Duke of Wei, after calming the guests at the banquet in Linzhang Hall, rushed over.
But with such a commotion in the garden, even the neighbors on both sides were climbing ladders to watch the excitement. How could the guests in Linzhang Hall remain seated?
More and more people came out to watch.
The female family members in the inner quarters, hearing the commotion, also came this way.
It was precisely because Xu Hengyan and Yi Yancheng were fighting so fiercely that the guests watching the show dared not get too close.
Curious onlookers who rushed too far ahead had half their scalps shaved off by the sharp force.
As soon as Lu Zhiheng saw the scene, he couldn't help but sigh, then went to look for Xie Jiang.
"Does Young Master Xie have the confidence to separate the regent king and my young prince?"
Guang Bai was worried that if the fight continued, it would be difficult to resolve. Although Young Master Xie's shouting had the opposite effect, who else could handle this matter besides Young Master Xie?
The Duke of Wei risked going forward to persuade them, almost being overturned.
Xie Jiang squinted at Guang Bai, "They're both red-eyed from fighting. Are you asking me to be cannon fodder?"
Would she be beaten to death on the spot, making them both suffer immense pain?
What a dream!
Let them die, and she wouldn't mind hurting a little.
Guang Bai quickly waved his hands, "Even if you gave me three more heads, I wouldn't dare ask Marquis Xie to take such a risk. No, no, my young prince and the regent king would never attack Marquis Xie."
It was hard to say about others.
"No confidence."
Xie Jiang refused decisively, "Originally, after this fight today, any misunderstandings between them would be resolved. If I foolishly ran over and tried to forcibly separate them..."
He paused here, "I'm afraid it would stimulate them even more, and they would end up with a deadly feud."
Wen Feng and Guang Bai fell silent.
Many of the onlookers surrounded the Duke of Wei, asking about the reason for the fight between Yi Yancheng and Xu Hengyan. The Duke of Wei just smiled and said they were sparring.
Who would believe that? They were beating each other to the point of brain matter spilling out, and this was called sparring?
The Duke of Wei didn't care if they believed him or not. The matter was settled anyway. He was just afraid that if the two fought and someone got hurt, it would be trouble, no matter who it was!
The Duke of Wei ran towards Xie Jiang, lowering his voice to ask Guang Bai and Xie Jiang, "Why did the regent king and Hengyan start fighting?"
He had a premonition that Xie Jiang definitely knew the reason.
Xie Jiang said, "Sparring?"
The Duke of Wei looked at Guang Bai.
Guang Bai dared not speak carelessly, "This subordinate also doesn't know."
The Duke of Wei hesitated, then pleaded with Xie Jiang to help persuade them.
He knew Xie Jiang had a relationship with both of them.
Guang Bai said, "Marquis Xie tried to persuade them earlier, whether it was the regent king or the young prince, they..."
The more Marquis Xie persuaded, the harder the young prince and the regent king fought. If Marquis Xie continued to persuade, it would likely result in mutual destruction.
The Duke of Wei frowned, "Then..."
Xie Jiang suddenly said, "Since persuasion is useless, why don't I do the opposite?"
The Duke of Wei asked confusedly, "How will Marquis Xie do the opposite?"
Wen Feng was a little anxious, "No matter what method Young Master Xie has, let's try it first."
The Duke of Wei did not object.
Since everyone trusted her so much, how could she let them down? Xie Jiang pulled the Duke of Wei, who was blocking his way, to the side, took a deep breath, and shouted towards their direction again.
"Yi Yancheng! Xu Hengyan! Are you two even capable? Have you not eaten! You're fighting so weakly! Go eat more before you fight!"
"I say, are you two both useless! Do you need to be taught how to fight! You've been fighting for so long, and you haven't even dislocated an arm. Don't you know how to fight to the death!"
"Are you two dawdling there like you're embroidering! Xu Hengyan! Yi Yancheng! If neither of you dies today, don't stop!"
The Duke of Wei's eyes widened like saucers. He couldn't believe what he heard. Asking her to persuade them was like fanning the flames!
"Marquis Xie!"
Wen Feng and Guang Bai almost knelt before Xie Jiang.
Suppressing their worry, they watched for a while and found that the two were still the same, indifferent to her persuasion.
Wen Feng and Guang Bai quickly grabbed Xie Jiang, "No, no, Marquis Xie, don't do the opposite anymore, it's useless."
The feeling in Wen Feng's heart grew stronger. Young Master Xie just felt that the master and Young Master Xu weren't fighting fiercely enough, right? These words were Young Master Xie's true feelings, right?
The guests watching from afar were also stunned.
"Marquis Xie doesn't seem to have a good relationship with the regent king and Young Master Xu, but rather like they have a feud..."
"Can't you tell that Marquis Xie is just saying that out of anger? Perhaps because the regent king and Young Master Xu weren't listening, Marquis Xie became angry and spoke carelessly..."
"Why do you think the regent king and Young Master Xu are fighting? Before the banquet started, I saw them chatting and laughing happily..."
"Is it possible that they are really sparring?"
"Although we know that the regent king and Young Master Xu are both accomplished in both civil and military arts, and are outstanding among the young talents, their skills are surprisingly good..."
"Prince Yu must have been dreaming with a smile for the past few years, right?"
"You'd have to ask the Duke of Wei about that. If the Duke of Wei can dream with a smile, then Prince Yu must be grinning from ear to ear."
"Sparring can turn into this? The garden of the Duke of Wei's manor..."
"Perhaps the regent king and Young Master Xu want to test each other's depth?"
"They are both dragons among men. It's not strange for them to want to compare who is higher."
Xie Jiang was both excited and thrilled. Before he could fully express his thoughts, Guang Bai grabbed his leg.
"This trick is useless! This trick is truly useless! Marquis Xie, please rest!"
Xie Jiang looked at him, then cleared his throat, "Get me a cup of water."
Guang Bai beckoned to his subordinates behind him, and a guard ran to get tea.
What kind of situation is this to still be thinking of drinking water! Seeing that Xie Jiang was truly unreliable, the Duke of Wei hurried away to find other methods.
Wen Feng paced back and forth anxiously.
Guang Bai also frowned deeply.
After drinking half a cup of water to moisten his throat, Xie Jiang looked at the two fighting in mid-air and suddenly said unhurriedly, "Actually, I have another method."
