“Feel free to try.”
The entrance of the building fell silent for a moment.
After a while, He Yan suddenly snapped out of it and shouted loudly, “Uncle!”
Is this guy her uncle? Sun Ling assessed the young man in front of him. Seeing his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. With a large birthmark on his face, he knew he was ugly, and he despised good-looking people even more. He had countless concubines at home and often defiled innocent women outside, not just because of lust, but also because he couldn’t stand seeing others possess what he didn’t have. He wanted to destroy what he couldn’t have.
The man in front of him was exceptionally good-looking, not just in Liangzhou, but probably among the best in Da Wei as well.
“Uncle!” He Yan jumped up and ran behind Xiao Jue in a flash, revealing only her head as she pointed shiveringly at Sun Ling. “This person, he bullied me!”
She cried out in a tone of innocence, as if a child who had been bullied outside and had returned home to complain to her elders. Fei Nu, who was standing nearby, was speechless at the sight.
Xiao Jue’s body also stiffened. He endured his disgust and ignored the person tugging at his clothes from behind, focusing only on Sun Ling. “Is it you?”
Sun Ling’s heart skipped a beat.
This young man was incredibly good-looking. His expression was calm, but there was an indiscernible edge to it. Even his calm question sent shivers down one’s spine, inexplicably instilling fear.
He composed himself and looked at Xiao Jue, asking coldly, “It’s me. And who are you?”
“Xiao Jue.”
Xiao Jue? Sun Ling was skeptical. He hadn’t seen Xiao Jue before. More than half a year ago, he heard that Xiao Jue brought new troops to Liangzhou to station at Liangzhou, but he hadn’t visited Liangzhou City much, let alone Sun’s house. Sun Ling had heard of Xiao Jue’s name, the renowned Youthful Killer General of Da Wei, known for his handsome appearance. The man before him was indeed handsome, but aside from that, how could he prove that he was Xiao Jue? Moreover… the Right Army Commander only had one guard with him when he went out? As the son of a county magistrate, Sun Ling always had a large entourage with him. What was going on with this nephew? Regardless, these people in front of him all seemed strange.
Sun Ling asked his servant in a low voice, “Have you heard of General Fengyun coming to the city recently?”
The servant shook his head, saying, “No.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Ling became even more suspicious. However, he was cunning by nature and didn’t want to jump to conclusions easily. So he looked at Xiao Jue with a sneer and said, “Since you claim to be Xiao Jue, do you have a jade plate as proof of your identity?”
Xiao Jue: “I don’t.”
“No jade plate?” Sun Ling became even more certain that these people were impostors. He thought about how he had almost been frightened by impostors just now, which made him angry. He looked at Xiao Jue and shouted, “I don’t care who you are, but you dared to privately abduct an official’s family member. This is a capital crime. Guards, arrest them!”
“What official’s family member?” He Yan popped her head out from behind Xiao Jue and shouted loudly, “That’s my personal servant! If you claim they’re your official wife, please provide evidence! Where’s her identification? You don’t even have an identification, yet you’re arbitrarily arresting people. Is there no law left?”
