Chapter 254 - 254: Kneel and Apologize
Liu Shulan dared not refute Hong Lian’s words. Once she left, she quickly ordered someone to throw the cup out and burn it.
Su Yurou continued to cry and fuss behind the folding screen. “Mother! She insulted me! That b*tch, Su Yingxue should be killed!”
“Shut up! Hasn’t the scolding awakened you? If this matter reaches your father’s ears, he will be the first to kill both of us!” Liu Shulan’s slender nails dug into the flesh of her palm, and blood dripped down her palm.
Su Yingxue was indeed clever and a formidable opponent!
However, she had never expected that she wouldn’t reveal the truth after finding out that it was her, causing her to contract this disease!
Hong Lian’s antidote was still brewing. At this moment, all the pustules on Liu Shulan’s body had been scratched open, and yellow liquid and blood flowed all over her body.
She looked at herself in the mirror, ugly, bald, and on the verge of collapse!
Once Hong Lian left the Yaoguang Garden, the assassins she brought with her surrounded her.
In a dark alley, Su Yingxue and Zi Wei appeared together. Su Yingxue smiled, “Pavilion Master Hong Lian, with such formidable martial arts skills, why bring so many assassins? It seems you have made quite a few enemies.”
Hong Lian’s crimson eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a burst of murderous intent. “Su Yingxue, do you think that you have the right to boast in front of me just because you survived a great disaster?”
Her aura was strong, while Su Yingxue and Zi Wei seemed frail.
However, Su Yingxue showed no hint of fear throughout her body. “Today, 1 not only want to boast in front of you but also make you kowtow and apologize to me.”
“What audacity! 1 think you’re tired of living!” Hong Lian was so angry that her hands trembled. She wished she could wave her hand and give the order to chop Su Yingxue into meat paste!
The assassin beside her took a step forward, and Zi Wei immediately protected Su Yingxue.
Even though he remained silent, the intense killing intent emanating from his was enough to make the assassins around Hong Lian halt.
“Pavilion Master Hong Lian, 1 advise you to let the people around you leave. Otherwise, your subordinates will see your embarrassing appearance later.” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows as if she was taking a leisurely stroll.
Hong Lian gritted her teeth. “What right do you have?”
“Because I know that Silver Moon Pavilion harbors the source of the deadly plague and has unleashed this harmful poison in Jiang Du City. Just this alone is already a violation of the alliance agreement between the Silver Moon Pavilion and the various countries.”
“What a joke! Would my Silver Moon Pavilion be afraid of your threats?” Hong Lian sneered.
“Of course, you’re not afraid, but what about the Great Cheng Dynasty? His Highness, with tens of thousands of elite troops, will you be afraid? Once the emperor learns that Silver Moon Pavilion has caused trouble in Jiang Du City, he will not tolerate it. If His Highness is ordered to intervene, do you think he will spare Silver Moon Pavilion?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were filled with a blatant threat.
“Su Yingxue, how dare you use His Highness to threaten me!” Hong Lian’s eyes glared fiercely.
“Didn’t you threaten me with His Highness? If it wasn’t for His Highness risking his life to test the medicine for me, what would Jiang Du City be like now? Do you think that if you manage to produce the cure for the deadly plague, the emperor won’t find out about your conspiracy, and His Highness won’t kill you?” Su Yingxue’s sonorous and powerful voice pierced Hong Lian’s heart.
This time, Su Yingxue truly had a hold over Hong Lian!
It was fine if she brought disaster to other countries, but Jiang Du City was under the guardianship of Chu Yihan.
If he learned about this matter, the relationship between Silver Moon Pavilion and him wouldn’t save her position in his heart.
Hong Lian gritted her teeth in hatred. “Su Yingxue, what do you want!”
“I told you to kneel and kowtow in apology!”
