“Humph.” After letting out a cold snort, Yu Yunxi looked at the kneeling Qi Li and coldly said, “Xiao Zhang is my man. You just injured him. How will you account for this?”
Qi Li trembled as he bowed, “I will follow the Princess’s orders in everything.”
“Xiao Zhang, I entrust him to you.”
“Alright.” Tan Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a step forward, and with his left hand, he violently grabbed Qi Li’s hair. Raising his right hand, he mercilessly slapped it across Qi Li’s old face!
“Pa!”
“I let you harm me!”
Tan Yun’s gaze was grim as he continued to slap Qi Li’s left face until it was a bloody mess, unrecognizable.
Qi Li remained silent, his heart roaring, “Xiao Zhang, for today’s humiliation, I will make you pay with your life in the future!”
At this moment, Qi Li thought Tan Yun had finished punishing him, but what followed nearly made him explode with anger.
After grabbing Qi Li’s hair with his right hand, Tan Yun began to wildly slap Qi Li’s right face with his left, continuing until the right side of Qi Li’s face was equally brutalized.
After standing up, Tan Yun kicked Qi Li in the mouth, causing all his teeth to fall out.
“Brother Xiao, please show mercy.” Qi Kong cupped his fists towards Tan Yun.
If it weren’t for his years of acquaintance with yu yunxi, Qi Kong wouldn’t have bothered to look at Tan Yun even once.
“Brother Xiao? Who the hell is your brother?” Tan Yun sneered, then put away his smile, looking down at Qi Li’s pig-like head, coldly saying, “Which hand did you use to unleash the ancestral sage power that injured me?”
Having been slapped to the point of seeing stars, Qi Li didn’t answer immediately, and Tan Yun hammered a fist down, breaking Qi Li’s nose, “Speak!”
Qi Li let out a cry of agony, mumbling, “It was the left... hand…”
“Be clearer!”
“It was the left hand.” Qi Li trembled as he spoke.
“Put out your left hand!” Tan Yun said without question.
Kneeling on the ground, Qi Li did not extend his left hand but instead turned to Qi Kong for help with pleading eyes.
“Xiao Zhang, don’t be excessive.” Qi Kong’s handsome features twisted slightly, “After all, the old steward injured you without knowing you were Yunxi’s person.”
“He didn’t intentionally attack you after knowing you were Yunxi’s man, why must you be so harsh?”
Tan Yun laughed, “You say I’m harsh? You don’t mention that the dogs in your residence are ruthless, yet you say I’m harsh? Are you kidding me?”
“Crack!”
As Tan Yun spoke, he stepped down, breaking Qi Li’s right ankle.
“Ah!” Qi Li let out a pig-like wail, “Eldest Young Master, save me!”
Qi Kong suppressed the urge to slap Tan Yun dead and looked at yu yunxi, saying, “Yunxi, for the sake of our long acquaintance, please let your servant spare Qi Li!”
“Servant?” Tan Yun's anger flared up inside.
“Qi Kong, listen well.” yu yunxi coldly reprimanded, “First, Xiao Zhang is not my servant, he is my friend.”
“Second, from now on… No, starting now, do not call me by my name directly!”
Upon hearing this, Qi Kong never expected that yu yunxi would be so angry after hearing him refer to Tan Yun as a servant.
“Damn Xiao Zhang, just wait!” Qi Kong’s killing intent surged, but he maintained a facade of a gentle gentleman, “It’s Seventh Princess.”
yu yunxi no longer glanced at Qi Kong and turned her gaze towards Tan Yun.
What further infuriated Qi Kong was that he saw emotions in yu yunxi’s gaze directed at Tan Yun that he had never seen before.
It was what he longed for, for yu yunxi to look at him with the same gaze she had for Tan Yun.
“Xiao Zhang must die!” Qi Kong’s desire to kill Tan Yun grew stronger.
At this moment, Tan Yun stared at Qi Li, enunciating each word, “Put out the hand that harmed me!”
Helpless, Qi Li tremblingly extended his left hand. Tan Yun stepped on it, twisting his foot while applying force.
“Crack crack—”
