The man in black passed out completely.
Princess Qingyang gave him a kick. "Tsk, utterly useless."
Shen Yanchuan slowly wiped the blood from his sword with a handkerchief before looking at Lian Zhou.
"Take him away."
Lian Zhou, who had been in a daze, immediately stepped forward upon hearing the order. "Yes, sir!"
As he tied the man up and dragged him away, he couldn't help but glance down at him.
'It's your honor, really, to have my master deal with you himself.'
'As I recall, the master rarely bothers with things like this. He almost never acts unless he absolutely has to.'
'But this time...'
Lian Zhou glanced back. The people in the courtyard had been dismissed, and it was once again peaceful and quiet.
Ye Chutang's room remained perfectly still.
Lian Zhou looked away, shaking his head and muttering.
"Your master really messed up this time!"
