Chapter 324 Terrified
Almost all the surviving soldiers in Yanbei have poured out of their homes and are flocking to this place.

They were surrounded by layers upon layers of people, leaving no room for them.

Xin Nian glanced at him indifferently, then her gaze fell on the man who was wearing only a thin white undergarment and whose face was covered with seven or eight lipstick marks.

"Niannian, don't look." Xiao Jinzhi blocked Xin Nian's way with a look of disgust, his tone full of contempt. "Don't look at dirty people too much, it'll strain your eyes."

Xin Nian found it amusing, grabbed his hand, and kicked Wu Lingya. "Go slap him twice. I think your brother is still dazed. Go and wake him up."

Wu Lingya: ! !
She secretly glanced at Xin Nian.

The latter raised an eyebrow, "I'll send number thirty-four to fight?"

"Oh no, no need." If the sorcerer makes a move, what about his brother's mouthful of teeth?

Although Wu Lingya disliked her fifth brother, she didn't want to kill him.

After all, after the natural disaster, only the two siblings were left to depend on each other. When the fifth brother succeeded to the throne, he still cared about his only remaining sister.

For at least all these days, he has been fed and cared for well, and has not mistreated her.

Wu Lingya gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, and slapped her brother twice across the face.

The soldiers on the outer perimeter were stunned by what they saw. When they finally reacted and rushed forward, Wu Lingya shrank back in fright.

She was very worried that her fifth brother's soldiers would rush over and, without saying a word, she would draw her knife and chop herself up.

However, these people hadn't run more than a few steps when they all crashed into an invisible barrier.

No one could get through the barrier, even though they tried everything they could, they couldn't even make a small hole in it.

This discovery left the Yanbei soldiers feeling both desperate and utterly powerless.

This is the difference between a sorcerer and an ordinary person—an insurmountable chasm.

Xin Nian ignored the soldiers hacking and slashing outside, and had Princess Yanbei slap her brother awake before asking, "Are you more awake now?"

Uka's head was still spinning and he hadn't quite woken up yet, but the pain in his cheek made him clear his mind for a moment.

"Who are you?" Uka squinted, trying to see who the figures moving in front of him were.

How dare you! Who on earth dared to pull him out of the tent to be exposed to the cold wind?

Xiao Jin stepped forward and kicked the man, sending him tumbling over. "Still not awake? How about a few more kicks?"

Uka cried out loudly, instinctively clutching his chest, and fiercely glared at Xiao Jinzhi.

That one glance left him completely dumbfounded, and for a moment he thought he was dreaming.

"Xiao Jinzhi??" Uka's voice trembled slightly, and he involuntarily shook a couple of times.

He still remembered that two days before Xiao Jinzhi was taken back to Daxia, he had secretly sneaked into his room, broken his legs, dragged him across the grassland, and thrown him into the herd of cattle and horses.

This man was truly the most vicious person he had ever seen in his life.

No wonder people always say that the people of Daxia are cunning and suspicious by nature, and doing business with them is mostly a losing proposition.

He only bullied him a few times when he was a kid, and had other friends push and hit him a few times. Why would he want to kill him before he left?

If he hadn't been incredibly lucky and found a pit to hide in, he wouldn't have had enough lives to squander.

Later, the king sent people to search for him on the grassland for a long time before they found him climbing halfway up the hillside to look for water. He had fainted by the ditch and his head was already submerged in the muddy water.

If those searching for him had arrived even a moment later, he would have been suffocated to death by the mud.

This ruthless young man had truly terrified him. For the next two weeks, it was a relentless nightmare for him; whenever he closed his eyes, he could see Xiao Jinzhi's cold, heartless face looming before him. He was truly scared out of his wits by Xiao Jinzhi, and upon seeing him again, he felt as if he had encountered his nemesis, and couldn't help but back away.

He didn't consider himself a good person, but Xiao Jinzhi in front of him was a thousand times more vicious than a demon.

He couldn't do something like Xiao Jinzhi.

How old was he back then? Yet he was already so cunning.

He never let anyone realize that his martial arts skills had actually reached their peak, and he could enter and leave the prince's tent as if it were his own.

He simply waited for that day to come; how wicked he was!

Xiao Jinzhi deliberately banished him to the grasslands teeming with cattle and horses, wanting him to become a pile of flesh under the feet of livestock, to be trampled to death.

Vicious, extremely vicious!
When Uka saw Xiao Jinzhi standing alive in front of him again, he was completely stunned.

He was not yet an adult when he left Yanbei, but his handsome features were already beginning to show their charm.

Seeing her again now, I feel that she is even more charming than before.

Just like before, she looked at him as if he were a dead, dirty thing, her beautiful phoenix eyes full of disdain.

"How did you end up here?" Uka asked in a trembling voice. He never dreamed that Xiao Jinzhi would return to this place again.

"You dare to come back?" Uka gritted his teeth. "Back then, you broke my legs and threw me into the depths of the grassland. I was here to settle scores with you."

"Instead of hiding properly, you actually dare to show your face in front of me now?"

"Looking for me? To settle scores?" Xiao Jinzhi uttered these words coldly, then sneered, "You? After your father died, you lived worse than a dog. Given the circumstances at the time, would your brother have gone all the way to Great Xia to cause me trouble for your legs?"

At that time, the princes of Yanbei were too busy fighting for the throne to care about whether he would return to the country.

By the time the war situation stabilized and people remembered him, he had already firmly established himself in the court.

"You, you shameless!" Uka struggled to his feet, but he was still under the influence of alcohol and his body swayed unsteadily.

"Is there no one left in Yanbei? How can a cripple climb to the throne?" Xin Nian glanced at Wu Ka's limping gait and raised an eyebrow.

These words struck at the deepest sore spot in Uka's heart, and he couldn't help but roar, "This is all Xiao Jinzhi's doing. If it weren't for the sins he committed, I wouldn't be the way I am today."

Xin Nian disagreed.

It's just a matter of reciprocity. The one who starts it is the one who's at fault. If you go and poke a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the head, and then get bitten to death in retaliation, isn't that your own problem?

Whose fault is it if you act impulsively?

After saying this, Uka's gaze suddenly fell on Xin Nian. He squinted and looked her over, his eyes gleaming slightly. "You, who are you?"

This woman was exceptionally beautiful, with a delicate and graceful figure. One glance was enough to captivate a soul, making it impossible to look away.

Xin Nian disliked his greasy gaze, and before she could reprimand him, Xiao Jinzhi kicked her first.

With a few kicks, the lecherous man whose eyes were glued to Xin Nian was sent rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Fifth Brother." Wu Lingya was utterly impressed.

What time is it? He's still looking at beautiful women and behaving inappropriately. Crown Prince Xiao already has a deep-seated prejudice against him, so why not take this opportunity to teach him a lesson?

"Gouge out his eyes."

"No, no, let's talk this out," Wu Lingya pleaded. "What brings you two here?"
