Chapter 1510 - 1510: He's My Man
The person who came was Bai Qingming. After entering the door, he gave Huangfu Ziyu a slight smile as a greeting and then calmly looked at the Zhou Chengtian brothers.Huangfu Ziyu's face remained cold. She merely forced a smile at Bai Qingming but didn't show much warmth, quite unlike her attitude towards her brother and sister.
"I don't need you to tell me how to speak!" Zhou Chengtian said in a deep voice, "Huangfu Ziyu is my fiancée, a betrothal arranged years ago by my father and Uncle Huangfu. Bai Qingming, I warn you, don't get too close to my fiancée, or I will make you regret it!"
"Zhou Chengtian, you're really ridiculous!" Bai Qingming chuckled and said, "Uncle Huangfu has already passed away, so now you can say whatever you want? You claim you had a betrothal with Ziyu from years ago, so tell me, who can verify that? Don't use people from the Zhou Family as witnesses; it's meaningless. Also, tell me, since there was a betrothal, what is the token of this engagement?"
"This..." Zhou Chengtian was instantly at a loss for words. In fact, the matter of his engagement to Huangfu Ziyu was entirely fabricated by him. When he saw Huangfu Ziyu's beauty during this visit, he conceived ill intentions and pestered his father into concocting this betrothal story, then came to harass Huangfu Ziyu. Truth be told, Huangfu Ziyu was bothered by him quite a bit during her stay, so it's no wonder she was ruthless towards him just now.
"No witness, no engagement token, what kind of betrothal is this?" Bai Qingming slowly shook his head and said, "Zhou Chengtian, I already knew you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to stoop to such depths. Seeing the Huangfu household with few members, you want to take the opportunity to bully the family and seize their daughter and property. Ah, how could the Zhou Family produce someone as shameless as you?"
"Bai Qingming, are you damn looking for death?" Zhou Chengtian completely tore off his mask, pointed at Bai Qingming in anger, and said, "Aren't you damn just the same, coming over to bother Huangfu Ziyu all the time, and isn't it all about wanting to sleep with her? Damn, we're all just the same, so why are you pretending to be a saint?"
Hearing this made Huangfu Ziyu's face turn icy cold. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If you want to quarrel, do it outside; this is not the place for your arguments."
"Miss Huangfu, please don't misunderstand, I'm just here to help!" Bai Qingming smiled at Huangfu Ziyu, then looked coldly at Zhou Chengtian and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Chengtian, watch your words!"
"What's wrong with what I said? Can't handle the truth? Hmph, what are you, and do you think I don't know? Bai Qingming, just because you act all proper here, does that make you human? How many of your maids have you gotten pregnant? If not ten, then eight. Do you dare to honestly admit how many women you've fooled around with up until now?" Zhou Chengtian said furiously, "I speak the way I do, unlike you, who can pretend. But as for being bad, compared to you, I'm a gentleman!"
These words left the siblings of Huangfu Zilong in the room full of surprise. In truth, they had a good impression of Bai Qingming, but no one expected him to be such a person.
"Zhou Chengtian, you're slandering me!" Bai Qingming's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't think that by fabricating a few words, you can deceive Miss Huangfu. Miss Huangfu is smart; she can discern for herself. Zhou Chengtian, it's you who are incredibly shameless, employing all sorts of methods to harass Miss Huangfu and bully the Huangfu family with few members. I'm telling you, you better get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being unkind!"
"Unkind? What are you going to do, be unkind to me?" Zhou Chengtian sneered, "What can you do if you're unkind? Bai Qingming, do you think you can beat me?"
"Then let's try it!" Bai Qingming shouted coldly, clenched his fists, and charged directly at Zhou Chengtian.
Zhou Chengtian was equally unyielding, stepping forward swiftly to engage Bai Qingming, and they became entangled in a fight.
At this moment, Left Protector and Cui Yulong had already dragged Ye Qing to the wall over there, just in time to witness everything happening below. They initially intended to let Ye Qing down directly but hesitated, fearing these people might cause trouble. So they decided to wait until after these people left to let Ye Qing down. Unexpectedly, the argument below grew increasingly fierce, and instead of leaving, they started fighting, leaving the two men helpless.
The truth was, Zhou Chengtian and Bai Qingming weren't particularly strong, not even as strong as Huangfu Ziyu. However, the two were evenly matched, fighting relentlessly. Judging by the situation, it seemed that the fight could last until dawn.
"We can't let this continue!" Left Protector glanced at the far horizon and said in a low voice, "We must quickly get Ye Qing down, or else when it gets bright, we won't be able to leave!"
Cui Yulong frowned deeply, worried that dealing with the two people below would attract other experts in the manor, but seeing the ongoing fight irritated him; it was a sheer waste of time.
"If we just lower him down like this, it could be dangerous!" Cui Yulong looked at the surrounding buildings and said gravely, "There are many experts around; putting him down like this will definitely cause disturbances and attract others!"
"But we can't keep waiting!" Left Protector said in a deep voice, "We have to try; they might not be able to stop us in time. If we wait until daylight, we'll have no chance at all!"
Cui Yulong fell silent for a moment, then nodded; at this point, they had no other choice.
The two joined forces, slowly lowering Ye Qing down the wall. The wall was very high, about three meters, and after lowering Ye Qing, there was still over a meter left to the ground, so they had to drop him directly. However, this distance wouldn't really hurt anyone. Thus, they didn't hesitate, letting go of their hands and dropping Ye Qing straight down.
On this side, Huangfu Ziyu was furrowing her brows while watching the two fight, when suddenly she heard a sound coming from the wall. She immediately turned her head and happened to see the backs of the Left Protector and Cui Yulong as they both jumped down from the wall.
"Who goes there?!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted, no longer paying attention to the two battling in the courtyard, and with a few jumps, she rushed to the edge of the wall. She originally intended to chase them, but upon arriving, she saw Ye Qing lying on the ground.
Seeing Ye Qing's face, Huangfu Ziyu's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Qing!"
Without any hesitation, Huangfu Ziyu rushed over and helped Ye Qing up. Seeing Ye Qing's eyes tightly closed, she couldn't help but panic, checking his breath and finding that he was still alive, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?"
"Who were those just now?"
Bai Qingming and Zhou Chengtian rushed over at the same time, and seeing Huangfu Ziyu holding a man firmly in her arms, both of them couldn't help but become furious.
"Huangfu Ziyu, where did this little thief come from!" Zhou Chengtian shouted, reaching out to grab Ye Qing: "Let me kill him!"
Although Bai Qingming did not make a move, he did not stop Zhou Chengtian, actually hoping Zhou Chengtian could kill Ye Qing in one strike.
"Get lost!" Huangfu Ziyu brandished the dagger in her hand, forcing Zhou Chengtian back, then protected Ye Qing behind her, and said in a deep voice, "He's my man, and whoever dares to touch him, I'll kill him with my own hands!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingming and Zhou Chengtian's faces immediately turned red with anger, their eyes filled with cold gleams.
"Your man?!" Zhou Chengtian shouted in anger, saying in a deep voice, "Huangfu Ziyu, you have an engagement with me, where did you find this wild man? What position do you put the Zhou Family in?"
"Miss Huangfu, this person has no clear background, he's not someone from our Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, yet he sneaks around here eavesdropping on our affairs in the Seven Rudders, clearly with ulterior motives!" Bai Qingming said in a deep voice, "Even if you have some entanglement with him, I think, for the sake of our Seven Rudders' vital issues, we should prioritize the bigger picture. Who knows how many secrets of ours he has overheard, we must kill him, otherwise, won't our Seven Rudders' secrets be leaked out?"
"Bai Qingming is right!" Zhou Chengtian immediately said, "This person dared to eavesdrop on our secrets of the Seven Rudders, even if we kill him a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough. Huangfu Ziyu, hand him over to me immediately, let me kill him with my own hands. Otherwise, you might also find it hard to escape culpability!"
"You all listen to me clearly!" Huangfu Ziyu's face turned icy cold, and she said each word with a resolute tone, "I said it, whoever dares to touch him, I'll kill them with my own hands! I mean what I say, if you don't believe me, you can try!"
"Try then!" Zhou Chengtian shouted angrily, about to rush over when suddenly a loud voice came from outside the manor, "Everyone, stay here!"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Chengtian was the first to get excited, saying, "It's my Third Uncle, it's my Third Uncle!"
Bai Qingming frowned, looking at the Ye Qing held by Huangfu Ziyu, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he has accomplices?"
"It must be that my Third Uncle captured his accomplices, Huangfu Ziyu, this person clearly has ulterior motives, and you still want to protect him?" Zhou Chengtian shouted, "Huangfu Ziyu, don't blame me for not warning you. If you kill him now, then you needn't bear the responsibility. If you insist on protecting him, when the Seven Great Families hold a joint trial, how will you explain to your family elders?"
"I don't need to explain to anyone!" Huangfu Ziyu said proudly, "I'll repeat, whoever dares to touch him, I'll kill them with my own hands. Don't talk to me about the Seven Rudders, don't talk to me about family elders. Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, dares to touch him, I'll fight him to the death. At worst, I'll die with him!"
Huangfu Ziyu's words were utterly resolute, making Bai Qingming and Zhou Chengtian extremely uncomfortable. Both of them wanted to make Huangfu Ziyu their woman, but after all these days, they couldn't make it happen, and yet this man could make Huangfu Ziyu fight to the death for him, which to them, was nothing short of a slap in the face!
