31: Blocking the door

“Father, I’m not reconciled!!!!”

Miao Hanqing, lying on the bed, also heard Hidden Killer’s words just now, and tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably.

A sinister glint appeared in Miao Wenwei’s eyes. He gripped his son’s hand tightly and said through gritted teeth:

“Hanqing, don’t worry, your father won’t let you suffer this humiliation in vain!!”

“Her Majesty said she wouldn’t let an old man like me make a move, so let the true scions of the Northern Wasteland Capital deal with him!”

“Su Ming, without the protection of his four older sisters, is just a toothless sick cat. I’d like to see how he endures the wrath of all the aristocratic scions in the Northern Wasteland Capital!!”

Miao Hanqing’s eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly:

“Father, do you mean…?”

Miao Wenwei smiled sinisterly.

“Hanqing, just wait and watch the show!”

Soon, a piece of news spread rapidly throughout the entire Northern Wilderness Capital as if it had grown wings.

Su Ming, the number one scion of the Great Gan, had defected to the Northern Wilderness, and on his first day, he broke the legs of the son of the current Minister of Punishments. He even made arrogant claims that the younger generation of the Northern Wilderness were all useless fops, good for nothing but show, and that he, Su Ming, would beat every single one he encountered.

The current Grand Tutor of the Northern Wilderness had a son in his fifties, and he doted on this son excessively, which resulted in a arrogant and lawless personality. At one point, the Northern Wilderness even compared this unruly scion to Su Ming from the Great Gan in the south.

In the Grand Tutor’s Residence, a young man who practically had ‘arrogant and overbearing’ written all over him slammed his teacup heavily onto the ground and spat disdainfully.

“Bah!! What kind of rubbish!!!”

“A homeless dog from the Great Gan, instead of keeping his tail between his legs, dares to act so presumptuously on Young Master’s territory? Young Master has truly given him too much face!!!”

“Someone! Call the personal guard by the old man’s side. Young Master wants to see what ability that good-for-nothing has to bark in the Northern Wilderness!”

Jing Wang Residence.

A young, handsome man, as beautiful as Pan An, was teasing a canary in a cage, a faint smile playing on his lips.

General Mu, the guard, stood respectfully to the side, a cold smile on his face.

“Your Highness, that old fox Miao Wenwei is trying to use others to achieve his goal. He wants to use all the Young Masters in our Capital to avenge his useless son!”

The smile on the young man’s lips deepened, and he said faintly:

“Actually, this Prince is also very curious about what kind of scheme my cousin is brewing, and why she recruited that good-for-nothing into our Northern Wilderness.”

“Even without this matter concerning Miao Hanqing, this Prince actually wanted to test Su Ming’s background. Now, this opportunity has presented itself.”

General Mu looked at the son of Prince Jing before him with some surprise.

“Your Highness, are you going to make a move?”

“Heh heh, how could I miss such an interesting matter…?”

........

Two days later, Su Ming sat in the main hall, which had already been tidied up, enjoying two beautiful maids massaging his shoulders. He took a sip of the still-steaming tea before asking Cui Hui beside him:

“Cui Hui, Young Master noticed that every household has lanterns hanging in front of their doors. Is this a custom of the Northern Wilderness?”

Cui Hui calculated with his fingers, then chuckled and said:

“Young Master must have forgotten, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so naturally, every household will hang lanterns.”

“The festivities of our Lantern Festival are in no way inferior to those of the Great Gan. The entire city is decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and there are also lantern displays in the south of the city, where countless young talents and unmarried young ladies will gather. It’s incredibly lively.”

Upon hearing about unmarried young ladies, Su Ming immediately perked up.

“Oh? Then Young Master will go and join the fun. Who knows, I might even have some romantic luck!”

Cui Hui continued to flatter him:

“With Young Master’s talent, you will surely shine brightly at the lantern festival and win the hearts of many young ladies. It will be an easy feat.”

As the two were conversing, carriages began to arrive one after another and stop at the entrance.

When pedestrians on the street saw the insignia on the carriages, someone immediately exclaimed:

“Isn’t that the carriage of Commander Li of the Vanguard Camp!”

Before they could even see who was inside, someone else shouted:

“Look! Look!! More carriages are coming this way!!”

“That is… the carriage of the current Grand Tutor’s Residence…”

“And! And!!! Hiss… Even Jing Wang Residence’s carriage has arrived. What is going on…?”

Not long after, the street in front of the residence was filled with over a dozen carriages, and then a group of elegantly dressed, imposing Young Masters stepped out of the carriages.

Although these dozen or so individuals clearly had extraordinary statuses, a closer look revealed that they were led by two people.

“Greetings, His Highness Prince Jing!”

“Greetings, Brother Sun!”

Prince Jing, Ni Yong, had a faint, gentle smile on his lips and nodded in greeting to everyone. In contrast, the young man who stepped out of the carriage next to him had his nose in the air, looking as if he held no one in his eyes.

“Hmm, you all heard the news too?”

A young man quickly cupped his hands and replied with a cold snort:

“Hmph! This Su Ming is practically shitting on the faces of our Northern Wilderness’s younger generation. If we don’t teach him a lesson today, wouldn’t we, the nobles of the Imperial Capital, be laughed to death?!”

The others also echoed in agreement.

“That’s right, we must cripple that brat today and let him know whose territory this is!”

Seeing that all the influential scions of the Capital had arrived, everyone’s expressions were incredibly excited.

“Goodness, this lineup is a once-in-a-century sight. There’s a good show to watch today!”

“Hmph, who told that Su Ming to be so arrogant as soon as he arrived in our Northern Wilderness? Today, he’s in for a treat!”

“These are all lawless individuals here. Su Ming will be lucky to leave with a complete corpse today…”

Miao Hanqing, whose legs had been crippled, was now propping himself up and had been wheeled over in a wheelchair, his eyes filled with excitement. He wanted to personally witness Su Ming being trampled underfoot.

“Thank you, gentlemen, for coming to seek justice for this junior today. Hanqing thanks you all here!”

Sun Zheng Hao, the son of the current Grand Tutor, glanced at him, his disdain completely undisguised, and said contemptuously:

“Miao Hanqing, how dare a good-for-nothing like you show up? You’re going to make us, the younger generation of the Imperial Capital, lose all face!!”

“And, you’re not worthy of Young Master avenging you. I simply will not allow any existence more impressive than Young Master in this Northern Wilderness Imperial Capital! Whoever dares to stick their head out, Young Master will beat them until they submit!”

Being humiliated so directly, Miao Hanqing lowered his head, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes. However, when he raised his head again, that hatred had completely vanished.

“Young Master Su is right, it is my uselessness that has shamed you all.”

Sun Haozheng squinted at him and snorted coldly.

“Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness, brat.”

“Stay on the side. Today, I’ll let you see how Young Master makes that so-called number one scion of the Great Gan kneel and beg for mercy!”
