She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 343 - 342 Who Comes, Who Dies, The Result Is The Same

Chapter 343: Chapter 342 Who Comes, Who Dies, The Result Is The Same

A taller and a smaller figure, passing through the beast arena strewn with the remains of wild animals, and through the midst of people who were silent as cicadas in the cold, Yan Lingzhen looked up at her elder sister’s profile, feeling the unease in her heart turn into an unusual calm and harmony at this moment.

It seemed that with her sister around, everything became reassuring.

Yan Wanqing, leading Yan Lingzhen, ascended the stairs. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, they stood in front of Chen Di and his son, who were trying to flee.

"Where do you think you’re going? Brother? Brother?" Yan Lingzhen intentionally emphasized those two words, her eyes full of provocation.

Chen Di’s heart skipped a beat, his complexion turning several shades paler. He thought about how he had treated Yan Lingzhen before and almost went weak at the knees from fear.

"I... I didn’t know you were, you didn’t say..." After his face turned ashen, Chen Di was overcome with a surge of anger. He suddenly felt that Yan Lingzhen was doing this on purpose!

Seeing the smug look on her face as she watched him, Chen Di became more and more convinced it was possible!

"You and your sister set a trap for me!" he shouted.

"Set a trap for what?" Yan Wanqing squinted her peach-blossom shaped eyes at him and hooked her red lips into a light laugh, "Haven’t eaten yet? Speak up!"

Chen Di recoiled several steps backward from her shout.

The City Lord could no longer bear to watch: "Commandery Princess, you are a generous person. This matter is of great importance. Perhaps we could change locations to discuss it?"

"Change locations?" Yan Wanqing looked around at all the curious eyes. She knew the City Lord wanted to find a secluded place to downplay the incident, to minimize the spread of news about her fury as much as possible—even if it couldn’t quench her rage!

No way!

"Considering your advanced age, I didn’t want to fuss too much with you, Chen Wei, but who asked you and your son to go too far, to take my Xiaoliu to your beast arena for the entertainment of others? Such temerity from the lord of Northern Border City!"

"I wouldn’t dare!" Chen Wei immediately knelt down, his face showing genuine fear and anxiety, "There has been a misunderstanding! Even if you gave me ten thousand measures of courage, I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on the Commandery Princess’s sister! Surely, someone is trying to frame me!"

"Quite a skillful mouth you have there!" Yan Wanqing scoffed coldly, "Could the injuries on my Xiaoliu be fake?"

Just seeing those wounds exposed outside the clothes made her blood boil with anger, wishing she could kick this father and son to death on the spot!

"Elder Sister!" Yan Lingzhen suddenly called out.

Yan Wanqing immediately turned to her, "If Xiaoliu wants to plead for them, then don’t even start."

After what happened with Li Chengyuan, she had sworn never to harbor that useless pity, especially for these people who had committed countless wrongs!

"How could I!" Yan Lingzhen shook her head, "Xiaoliu wanted to say that this older son forced Xiaoliu to be obedient. He even said Xiaoliu looked like Elder Sister, saying he wanted Xiaoliu to be a stand-in!"

This statement shocked the entire audience!

Chen Di dared to covet Princess Anping!

And to contrive a stand-in?

Did he eat the courage of the bear and leopard?!

Sure enough, Yan Wanqing’s gaze toward him became filled with even more loathing.

Huai Xinmei, who had been watching the drama quietly, stepped forward with a cold face, "Is what she said true?"

Chen Di, irritated and out of patience, didn’t care to deal with her, "Is this the time for you to add to the chaos? Haven’t you always been gentle and charming, Xinmei?"

"Charming?" Huai Xinmei let out a cold laugh, slapped him across the face, and left proudly!

This affair had completely nauseated her.

Chen Di had always been like a dog at her side, but now she was told this dog had a second heart, trying to get another woman while licking her boots.

Thinking of this, Huai Xinmei felt a surge of disgust threatening to make her vomit!

She had no intention of getting involved with this mess anymore!

Watching Huai Xinmei leave without looking back, Chen Di became somewhat anxious, "Xinmei!"

"Get lost! From now on, stay away from my young mistress!" Xiaomian said loathingly to Chen Di.

This scumbag!

Seeing even a maid dare to yell at him, Chen Di felt his blood rushing backward in rage. It showed just how Huai Xinmei must have spoken of him in front of her servants, not to mention she had just slapped him!

"A sycophant dog, a sycophant dog, all that fawning amounts to nothing in the end!" Yan Lingzhen clicked her tongue twice, sizing up Chen Di with disdain, "Right now, you really are left with nothing!"

She had said it, if she didn’t die, she was bound to make these people pay back all the suffering she endured!

"Chen Di, oh Chen Di, you colluded with Li San the Wolf to harm innocent girls, and your father is even worse. You wiped out the whole Stone Village ruthlessly. You and your son truly continue the same lineage, rotten to the core and bad to the bone!" Yan Lingzhen looked at the father and son, declaring loudly.

She told everyone everything she knew, right in front of everyone.

Watching the two of them, furious and beaten, trying to charge at her, Yan Lingzhen swiftly hid behind Yan Wanqing.

Without even looking, Yan Wanqing kicked upwards, squarely hitting Chen Di in the chest, knocking him out cold.

Chen Wei hurried forward to hold his eldest legitimate son.

"Yan Wanqing, I am an official appointed by the Imperial Court. I call you Commandery Princess out of respect for the late emperor. Yet, you behave so wildly; you are but someone the Capital City cast out. How dare you be so brash and arrogant on my territory!" Chen Wei revealed his true colors.

Yan Wanqing responded with a cold, mocking laugh.

"Your territory?"

She kicked the watchtower with her foot, causing the entire structure to shake twice.

"You call him, does he answer you?"

Chen Wei was so angry he puffed out his beard and glared with wide eyes.

With a light chuckle, Yan Wanqing said, "Let’s see if he answers when I call."

She raised her delicate arm and, in front of Chen Wei, gently clapped her hands.

It wasn’t long before the entire watchtower was surrounded by masked people in black and red, three layers inside and three layers outside, leaving no room for escape.

"It’s the Stormy Building! People from the Stormy Building!" The crowd exclaimed in shock, no longer daring to speak out.

Chen Wei looked around him and let out a long howl to the sky, "Yan Wanqing, you dare collude with the world’s number one assassin organization! As a Commandery Princess personally titled by the Imperial Court, your crimes deserve a thousand deaths!"

"Collude?" Yan Lingzhen laughed, "Were you blind just now? The Stormy Building recognizes my elder sister as their leader!"

After hearing this, Chen Wei fell silent, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Yan Wanqing: "You dare! I am appointed by the Imperial Court—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Wei’s head had already fallen to the ground.

The hall erupted into shocked murmurs!

Yan Wanqing was like a ruthless, cold-blooded beauty.

"There’s one more." She spoke coldly.

Yan Lingzhen quickly interjected, "Elder sister! Leave this one to me!"

She could not allow Chen Di to die so easily!

Then Yan Lingzhen loudly declared, "An official who doesn’t serve his people might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes! During his time at the City Lord Residence, Chen Wei and his son oppressed the commoners, abducted virtuous women, established the Beast Arena, and treated the lives of the people as nothing but playthings. Their heinous crimes are unforgivable! And let’s not forget the atrocity of the entire Stone Village—this towering crime, death is not even worthy for him!"

As Yan Wanqing was indeed qualified to execute such a treacherous official on behalf of the Imperial Court, it didn’t matter what anyone else in attendance said, Yan Lingzhen had to tell the truth of the matter to everyone.

She would not allow anyone to slander her elder sister!

"The Northern Border is full of crooks, and with the example set by Chen Wei and his son, I believe everyone present will know to hide their foxy tails well." Yan Lingzhen’s innocent laughter surrounded all who were present.

Though she was dirty and disheveled, her eyes sparkled brightly, and on a face very much like Yan Wanqing’s, no one dared to underestimate her. novelbuddy.cσ๓

"With that said, what should and shouldn’t be said today, and how it should be said, I trust you all can judge for yourselves." Yan Lingzhen lifted her hand, "So now, my dear brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, it looks like rain is coming. You might want to go home and bring in your clothes."

Her words had barely ended when the crowd instinctively turned to look at Yan Wanqing.

Seeing no expression on Yan Wanqing’s face, they quickly gathered their things and descended from the watchtower.

Indeed, a woman who had been on the battlefield, unflinching when killing.

"I’ll need to trouble Sister Hong Wu to take this man to my courtyard," Yan Lingzhen said coyly to Hong Wu next to her after hugging Yan Wanqing’s waist and taking a deep breath.

Hong Wu nodded, picked up Chen Di like a sack of rice, and in a few ups and downs, disappeared from sight.

As for Yan Lingzhen, she declared she had no intention of leaving her elder sister’s side at that moment.

"Elder sister... revealing Stormy Building, the Imperial Court won’t let us off," Yan Lingzhen expressed her concerns.

Those old ministers who saw Yan Wanqing as a thorn in their side would surely do everything to kill her if they knew she was the leader of the Stormy Building.

Yan Wanqing rubbed her little head.

"It doesn’t matter, whoever comes, they die, the outcome is the same."
