Not only did Miss Qiao not recall those several hundred ebony blue talismans, but she even flung out several hundred more talismans that formed several dozen defensive talisman matrices around her.

She was clearly not going to let things lie!

Jing Linyao quickly dissuaded, “Miss, let’s calm down and talk. I waited for you here in order to resolve this situation! My sister was foolish and muddle-headed to offend Miss. The Jing Family will discipline her…”

“I want her to die!” Qiao Mu shouted. Her icy gaze made even Jing Linyao, who had been on the battlefield multiple times and was used to corpses, shudder in her heart.

Such an unforgiving gaze!

No! The little lady meant that her third sister Jing Minyao had to die as punishment?

“Are you handing her over or not.” Qiao Mu asked unmovingly.

*Stomp, stomp, stomp.* The innkeeper could no longer withstand the pressure after the commotion downstairs got so bad. He struggled as he stumbled down the stairs and bowed repeatedly, “Apologies, apologies! Could you all go outside, outside…”

The innkeeper was trembling. He was afraid that the tavern was going to get destroyed.

The guests on the second floor had long been disturbed awake from the huge commotion. They all opened the doors and windows to their rooms and furtively probed their heads out.

Qiao Mu swept that innkeeper a glance and tilted her petite head at Jing Linyao.

Jing Linyao smiled bitterly and had the crowd part so that she could walk out the main doors of Shunlai Tavern.

*Swish, swish, swish…* Several hundred ebony blue talismans came flying and briskly lined up in front of Jing Linyao.

“Give her the people,” Qiao Mu ordered coldly.

The giant ape thus lumbered out from the crowd and flung its arm, brusquely tossing down around a dozen people on the verge of death in front of Jing Linyao without hesitation.

One of the black-clothed people crashed down so hard that her face shroud fell off, revealing a ghastly-pale petite face.

“Plea, Please forgive me, Princess. Xinlan has failed.” The black-clothed woman kowtowed with a bang.

However, Qiao Mu’s stoic face was indifferent.

Jing Linyao stretched her hands out to help up Xinlan, yet a vine whip shot out from the little lady’s hand and lassoed Xinlan over. Qiao Mu then gripped Xinlan’s throat with one hand.

“You sent people to clean up the aftermath? You’re trying hard to wipe all traces of what your Jing Family did.” Qiao Mu’s lips tugged into a sneer. “Is this Princess Jing’s way of doing things?”

Secretly wiping away all traces when you did something wrong and pretending that nothing had happened? What did you take her, Qiao Mu, as? A good-for-nothing who just stomachs this bullying without retaliating?

“Hand over the person to receive punishment, and today’s events will end here. Otherwise…” Qiao Mu looked at her coldly. “I’ll make sure to wreck havoc for your Jing Family both in life and death!”

Everybody looked silently at Crown Prince Mo, who looked calm and was even smiling faintly.

Your indulging expression really scarred their eyes!

There was an eighty percent chance that this child’s willful temper was a result of the crown prince’s indulging… 

“Ohoho.” The Gingko Immortal couldn’t resist giggling while covering her mouth with her hand. She concurred with a nod, “That’s right. You should have the right attitude for resolving such an aftermath! This immortal thinks that the little lady is correct! Your Jing Family sent several hundred assassins after the little lady, yet you’re not allowing her to be angry and retaliate?”

Jing Linyao momentarily turned reticent before looking at the crown prince. “What does Your Highness say?”

“You don’t understand what the crown prince consort wants?”
