Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 90: A Grand Entrance

In the absence of knowledge about Xiao Zhang's true identity, everyone assumed that Ye Wenxin and Xiao Zhang had a falling out, prompting the current situation. Ye Wenxin was speechless and felt helpless as she was tied up with ropes along with her blanket, while her underlings sawed off her wooden bed.

Lying on the bed, Ye Wenxin watched as her enthusiastic followers carried her and the bed outside, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Some wanted to laugh, but Ye Wenxin's group was already quite famous among the outer sect disciples, so they tried hard to suppress their laughter to avoid getting beaten up by one of her underlings.

Ye Wenxin gave up struggling, feeling more bemused than anything.

As she was carried on the bed, swaying with each step, her underlings ran with all their might to catch up to Xiao Zhang, who was preparing to leave.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

The underlings shouted Xiao Zhang's name. Xiao Zhang turned around, puzzled, only to see Ye Wenxin bound tightly on the bed, leaving her amused and exasperated.

"What... what are you doing!" Xiao Zhang was both touched and amused, never expecting Ye Wenxin's followers to bring her over like this.

"Big Sis said she'd apologize if you'd just stay."

"Yeah, Big Sis said she'd die if you left."

The underlings suddenly gained emotional intelligence, digging a hole for Ye Wenxin.

"Hey, Fatty, Cobra, do you think I'm unconscious? Stop lying, or I'll smack you," Ye Wenxin's blood pressure began to rise. Sometimes, she felt like her cultivation deviation was just a combination of high blood pressure and heart issues. Whenever her emotions ran high, she felt on edge.

She was at that edge now, feeling like she'd raised a bunch of ungrateful wolves.

Even if Xiao Zhang was gentler, more charming, more capable than her, still...

Ye Wenxin believed she had many strengths, but seeing her underlings in tears and their pitiful expressions made her feel even more like a tragic leader.

She kept a stern face as Xiao Zhang approached with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to come, even like this," Xiao Zhang teased Ye Wenxin's predicament, untying her ropes so she could get out.

"Don't get out yet, you're still..." But as Ye Wenxin emerged, Xiao Zhang realized she was fully dressed, as if she hadn't been abruptly carried out of bed.

Surprised, tears welled in Xiao Zhang's eyes.

"Why are you getting emotional? I'm just used to waking up early," Ye Wenxin said awkwardly. She had intended to secretly watch Xiao Zhang leave, but her meddling underlings had brought her here instead.

If not for that, she wouldn't be in this mess.

"Sure, you love waking up early, and you never skip class," Xiao Zhang wiped her tears and hugged Ye Wenxin briefly before stepping back.
