"Your... Your Highness?" Li Qi couldn't put on a long face. He had been putting on an act for quite a while now. However, Long Yue simply did not buy it at all, which kind of made him lose face.
"I... what did you just say?" Long Yue frowned.
"I mean, that Shen Yanxiao..."
"Shen Yanxiao? Oh right!" Long Yue suddenly thought of something and suddenly stood up.
Li Qi's eyes lit up and thought that Long Yue was going to create trouble for Shen Yanxiao.
The status of the Prince was more than he could use to trouble her. He wanted to see if that little girl would still dare to neglect them.
"Shen Yanxiao and her people? Why isn't she here?" Long Yue stretched his head and looked around, trying to find the little face that shook his heart.
"That is to say, she is also being courteous. His Highness is eating a meal. How can she be good enough to serve at your side?" Li Qi said.
"Serve?" When Long Yue heard this word, his small face suddenly turned red.
The youth was after all still young. He had yet to realize that his heart had silently fallen on someone.
......
On the other side, Shen Yanxiao was surrounded by a group of people. Yin Jiuchen's eyes were red and she was looking at her full of distress.
"City Lord, why did you... let that bastard say such things to you?" When Li Qi was speaking, Yin Jiuchen had been enduring patiently. Shen Yanxiao didn't talk back, but Li Qi's words were like a knife cutting her heart. Hearing such hurtful words, Yin Jiuchen was distressed for Shen Yanxiao unceasingly.
Their City Lord was such a proud person. When did she allow others to insult her like that?
"Sister, why did you stop me just now? I can help you kill that bad person." Lan Fengli was also full of doubts.
The members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps did not also know how to vent their anger. When Li Qi's group just left, they couldn’t wait to see Shen Yanxiao.
"City Lord, we're not afraid of them. As long as you give an order, we brothers will immediately help you take revenge."
"Who does that bastard think he is, to actually talk to you like that?"
A group of people rushed to speak at once, and they were all screaming injustice for Shen Yanxiao. They could not understand why the usual Shen Yanxiao, who would not allow others to insult her on normal days, seemed to have changed her temperament today. She was rather good to speak with today. Li Qi said so many ugly words, yet she did not even get angry?
Shen Yanxiao looked at the group of indignant people before her and shook her head with a smile.
"Don't worry about him. He's just a dog that threatens based on his master's power. I don't even put him in my eyes." Shen Yanxiao persuaded the crowd to calm down. However, she had her own concerns in her heart.
How could Li Qi's words not make her angry?
But she could not do anything to Li Qi at this time because Li Qi's arrival at The Rising Sun City was due to the Emperor's decree. If he dared to be so presumptuous here, the Emperor must have given him certain rights.
If Shen Yanxiao were to deal with Li Qi right now and this matter reached the Emperor's ears, nevermind about whether or not the Emperor would use this information to sully her reputation even more. What she was most worried about was that the Emperor would vent his anger on Shen Feng who was in the Imperial Capital.
Although the Vermillion Bird Clan was powerful, if faced with the strength of a whole country, she was afraid that it would be very difficult for them to stand against such strength. Moreover, the talents of the current generation of the Vermillion Clan had withered, and there was an internal conflict even. She was in the Barren Land, which was quite far away. If the Emperor really wanted to move against Shen Feng, she feared that even if she had the heart to help, her slow aid would do nothing in an emergency.
Shen Yanxiao was being patient because there were people she cared about. So she had to put down her pride for a while and had to swallow her anger for a time.
But she would not endure forever. Just until The Rising Sun City had been completely rebuilt; after her wings had gradually expanded, no one in the whole world would be able to mistreat her anymore.
