The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 669

Chapter 669: Are You a Monkey Someone Invited? (4)

“Your… Your Highness?” Li Qi found it embarrassing. He had been acting for an entire day and yet, Long Yue had not paid him any attention. This made him lose face to the extreme.

“I’m here. What were you saying earlier?” Long Yue furrowed his brows.

“I said, that girl, Shen Yanxiao…”

“Shen Yanxiao? Oh that’s right!” Long Yue seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stood up.

Li Qi’s eyes brightened, thinking that Long Yue finally wanted to find trouble with Shen Yanxiao.

His status as a prince was more important than he could ever be, so he’d like to see if that little brat dared to neglect them any further.

“Where’s Shen Yanxiao? Why isn’t she here?” Long Yue stretched out his head and looked around in search of that face who made his heart speed up.

“That’s right, she’s too disrespectful. How can a subject not serve by Your Highness’s side during a meal?” Li Qi spoke in agreement.

“Serve?” When Long Yue heard that word, his face suddenly flushed red.

The young boy had not realized that the slight glimpse of Shen Yanxiao had already caused his heart to be entrapped by a certain someone.

On the other side, Shen Yanxiao was currently surrounded by a group of people. Jiu Yinchen was currently looking at her with a reddened eye while feeling heartache.

“City lord, how can you… how can you allow that bastard to say that about you?” When Li Qi spoke earlier, Jiu Yinchen had exercised restraint. She did not dare to cause trouble when Shen Yanxiao herself had not said anything. However, Li Qi’s words were similar to a knife being stabbed in her heart, as those revolting words entered her ear. She felt her heart ache for Shen Yanxiao’s sake.

Their city lord was a proud person. When had she ever allowed someone to humiliate her as such?

“Sister, why did you stop me back then? I’ll kill that baddie for you, alright?” Lan Fengli was also filled with curiosity.

The Cave Wolves Mercenary Group on one side were also angry. The moment Li Qi’s group left, they had impatiently rushed to meet Shen Yanxiao.

“City lord, don’t be afraid. With a single order of yours, all our brothers will take revenge for you!”

“That’s right. Who does that bastard think he is? On what basis was he allowed to speak to you like that?”

They were all outraged at the situation. The Shen Yanxiao they knew who would never allow a single provocation from others seemed to have completely become mild-mannered. Li Qi’s words were so intolerable and yet, she did not fly into a fit of rage?

Shen Yanxiao looked at the enraged group and shook her head with a smile.

“Don’t worry about him. He’s merely a lacky that uses his position to bully others. I won’t even pay any attention to a side character like him.” Shen Yanxiao persuaded everyone to calm down, but in her mind she had her own plans.

How was it possible Li Qi’s words had not enraged her?

However, she was unable to take action against him at this point in time. The reason being, Li Qi came to the city under the Emperor’s imperial degree, and since he dared to be so unbridled, the Emperor must have given him some sort of authority.

If Shen Yanxiao were to deal with him right now and word of it spreads out, she was worried that the Emperor would unleash his anger on Shen Feng in the capital, not to mention that the Emperor would use that as an excuse to deal with her.

Even though the Vermilion Bird Family was powerful, it would be very difficult for them to contend against a country. Moreover, the number of talents in her generation was withering while there was an internal strife within the family. She was also currently situated in the faraway Forsaken Land so if the Emperor really intended to harm her family, she would be helpless even if she had the heart to help.

The reason why Shen Yanxiao had endured it was because she didn’t want to endanger people whom she cared for. Therefore, she had no choice but to put away her pride for the time being and endure it.

However, she would not endure it forever. When the day the city was completed, she would obtain her wings and no one in heaven or earth could push her around any longer.
