They all looked at him with those greedy eyes, as if… They wanted to squeeze every last bit of his value out of him!
***
A cold wind blew in the sky.
The streets had quieted down, and the storm of war had long dissipated like clouds.
Feng Ruqing raised her eyes and looked at the crowd behind Qin Li with a cold smile.
Qin Li’s knees weakened and fell to the ground. He looked defeated as his eyes were sunken and dark.
He had lost…
In the end, he had still lost. Hahaha!
Losing so miserably, and there was no turning back!
“Maiden Ruqing.”
The clans that followed Qin Li panicked and hurriedly kneeled in front of Feng Ruqing. Their voices earnest and pleading as they said, “The Qin family forced us to do this. The other clans who disobeyed his orders have been destroyed, and the Zhuge family is one of them! Qin Li has sold Zhuge Jia, the daughter of the Zhuge family, to a brothel.”
Zhuge Jia?
Feng Ruqing felt that this name was somewhat familiar as if she had heard it somewhere.
Suddenly, a clear and shy voice spoke in her mind, as if it had happened yesterday.
“Maiden Feng, I am Zhuge Jia of the Zhuge family. I saw you at the evening feast, and I can’t forget you since then. You’re more handsome than any other man in the world. Later, I understand that women are better than men. Maiden Feng, please keep me with you.”
Zhuge Jia, the shy and lovely girl who wanted to be with Feng Ruqing…
Was she sold by Qin Li to a brothel?
To Feng Ruqing, there were only two kinds of women: cute and pleasing, like Tang Yin and Gu Yiyi, the people of Iron-Blooded Troop, and these girls who surrounded her in Tian Shen Manor.
The other kind of women was like Qin Fei’er, who she could never like. That woman had even peeped at her state preceptor.
In comparison, the girl named Zhuge Jia was really likable, even though Feng Ruqing did not have much contact with her.
Such a lovely little girl was… Sold to a brothel?
Feng Ruqing frowned abruptly. “Which brothel?”
“Welcome Spring Courtyard and the pimp is Qin Li’s old lover.”
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone looked at Qin Li in disbelief.
The pimp of a brothel was Qin Li’s old lover?
Wen Yu was still grieving and had not returned to her senses. Previously, she would have definitely jumped over and scratched all over Qin Li’s face leaving bloody marks.
“Wu Yu…” Feng Ru Qing said coldly, “You go and destroy the Welcome Spring Courtyard! Arrest those who are forcing the good girls to work in the brothel and send them to Gu Shi.”
She would not look down on the girls in the brothel, nor would she look down on those who sold themselves for money because many of them did not have other choices to support their lives.
So, the only people she wanted to wipe out were those who forced the good girls into prostitution!
If those girls had volunteered, she would not have been able to say much, but if they had been forced, this Welcome Spring Courtyard should indeed be destroyed.
“Yes, Master,” Wu Yu answered respectfully.
The crowd present was somewhat speechless. ‘You’re just ending a brothel, do you really have to send an Advanced Holy Warrior to do it? If you simply choose one person from the Mu family, it’s enough to wipe out the whole Welcome Spring Courtyard!
After giving her orders, Feng Ruqing looked at the group of people kneeling in front of her.
These people were all trembling. They knew that the Qin family was defeated, and if they wanted to live, they had to bow down to Feng Ruqing.
