Beiting Huang pursed her lips tightly. When she was three steps away from him, she landed steadily and stood beside him.

Yan Ye ignored her angry gaze and swept his gaze across the entire place. His faint pressure made everyone unable to raise their heads. “He’s a guard hired by my Night Palace. He has the same status as Qiong Qi and the other three. There’s no need to bow to me outside!”

“Huh?”

Just like Beiting Han, everyone in the square was so shocked that their jaws dropped. Was that the reason? Was it? Was it? Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was true that His Highness the Night King was protecting the ninth young master.

Beiting Huang was as surprised as everyone else. She looked up at the Night King. He was defending her. This was the second time he had helped her. She could not figure out the reason, but this protection was real.

“Do you think I should kill you to appease those ignorant peasants?”

A voice suddenly appeared in her mind. Beiting Huang was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was the legendary mental voice transmission. She stared blankly at Yan Ye for a while and shook her head with a smile. She was thinking too much. As powerful as he was, why would he care about the thoughts of these commoners?

Yan Ye did not seem to notice that the people in the square were still kneeling. It seemed that if these people wanted to kneel, they could just keep kneeling! He sat steadily on the stage. Beiting De, who was kneeling in front of him, could not remain calm. He secretly glanced at Yan Ye from the corner of his eye, lowered his head, and said respectfully, “I didn’t expect the Ninth Young Master of the Beiting Family to be able to catch His Highness’s eye.”

He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at Beiting Huang. In a warning tone, he said, “Beiting Huang, since you are employed by the Night Manor, you must serve His Highness well!”

“Father, Beiting Huang isn’t even a mercenary. She doesn’t have the strength to become a mercenary!”

Beiting Han couldn’t take it anymore. It wasn’t that he was stupid, but when he saw that a piece of trash like Beiting Huang could win the favor of the most favored prince of the Raya Empire, His Highness the Night King, and even be valued as much as the four lords like Qiong Qi, Beiting Han was so jealous that he lost his mind.

Why? She was a piece of trash. The Night King must not know her strength, so he judged wrongly.

“He can’t even gather spiritual energyâ€¦”

“Shut up!” Beiting De was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His son usually looked very alert, but why was he so muddle-headed at this time?

Yan Ye looked up at Beiting Huang with a faint smile. The handsome young man crossed his arms and looked expressionlessly at Beiting Han, who was kneeling on the ground. It was as if he was not kneeling for Yan Ye, but him.

“Hahaha, ninth young master, is this your brother from the same family?” Qiong Qi could not hold it in anymore. He really liked this cool-looking young man. He was handsome and had a cold temperament. At such a young age, he was exceptionally calm.

Beiting Huang shook her head. She gave Yan Ye a meaningful look and said meaningfully, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Before I accept the employment of the Night Manor, please allow me to register as a mercenary.”

“Do you really want to register as a mercenary? You have to know that the Night King Manor doesn’t care if you’re a mercenary or not when they hire you,” the Qiong Qi advised.

Beiting Huang shook her head and slowly swept her gaze across the people in the square. “I, Beiting Huang, was born in the middle of heaven and earth. I rely on my own ability to make a living. I don’t need anyone’s protection.”

Her words were a rejection of the Night Manor’s good intentions. Everyone was stunned. In the past, they had only heard that the Ninth Young Master was a piece of trash. Why were their brains not working well now?
