    His Girl is Quite Feisty

    Old Master Helan had originally wanted to stop Xiao Yueqing, but he hadn’t expected that both he and his daughter would be trapped.

    The huge commotion also woke up Yun Dan, who had been lying on the ground.

    She rubbed her relaxed eyes and opened them to see three people in front of her.

    One of them was Xiao Yueqing, and she didn’t recognize the other two.

    However, judging by the situation, Xiao Yueqing seemed very angry with them.

    “Mm… Where is this?”

    All three noticed that Yun Dan had already awakened. Although Xiao Yueqing really wanted to show concern for how Yun Dan was doing, reason told him that he couldn’t reveal that he and Yun Dan knew each other.

    Otherwise, if the Helan family had any survivors, they would surely leak this matter to the Tang Sect, and that would harm Yun Dan.

    Therefore, Xiao Yueqing didn’t turn around, but continued looking at Old Master Helan and Helan Xue.

    Yun Dan was such a clever person—how could she not sense what Xiao Yueqing was trying to do?

    His not turning to look at her must mean he didn’t want her to be connected to him in any way, at least not in front of these people.

    But Yun Dan naturally harbored hatred toward Helan Xue.

    She really hadn’t expected that this woman, who had been so petty during the day, would have someone kidnap her at night. And there was even a burlap sack on the ground—clearly this woman had planned to stuff her in a sack and sell her off.

    She struggled to sit up and pointed at Helan Xue, questioning her. “I really didn’t think there could be people in this world who look fairly normal but have hearts like snakes and scorpions. I didn’t even offend you—just because I accidentally caught your embroidered ball, you held a grudge and had someone kidnap me at night?

    Looking at that burlap sack on the ground, you probably planned to stuff me in it and throw me away, didn’t you? I really didn’t expect you to be so vicious. It’s just an embroidered ball—if you like throwing them so much, just throw a few more.

    You clearly didn’t hit anyone else, yet you wanted someone to marry you. I only came out to help say a few words, and you held it against me. You’re truly wicked to the core. No wonder you still haven’t married at your age—you’re destined to have no man want you!”

    Yun Dan never held back when speaking to people who had harmed her.

    Whether it was Tang Huairou or the woman before her now.

    Old Master Helan didn’t know his daughter had done such a thing.

    When he had rushed into the room earlier, he had only seen Xiao Yueqing and his daughter, and hadn’t noticed at all that someone was lying on the ground.

    Now hearing this, he looked at Helan Xue in disbelief. “Xue’er, explain to Father—what exactly is going on here? Did you really kidnap this innocent young lady?”

    Helan Xue was now unable to defend herself.

    She couldn’t possibly admit in front of her father that she had done such a thing, so she could only brush it off as a misunderstanding.

    “How could that be? Father, you must be misunderstanding something. This woman couldn’t possibly have been kidnapped by me. How could I do such a thing?”

    The implication was that she was pushing all the blame onto Xiao Yueqing, claiming that Xiao Yueqing was framing her.

    Yun Dan now understood that when these so-called noble young ladies decided to be shameless, they could be more shameless than anyone.

    Whether it was Tang Huairou or the woman before her.

    “Bullshit! Do you dare swear to heaven that I wasn’t kidnapped by you? You can only fool your father. If you didn’t kidnap me, did I sleepwalk all the way from the Tang Sect to this place in the middle of the night?

    This place is far from the Tang Sect. I’ve never been to this place before—did I sleepwalk all the way here? Do you even believe that yourself?”

    Although Xiao Yueqing showed no outward reaction, he was thinking to himself that his girl had quite a sharp tongue and was merciless when arguing with people.

    Helan Xue opened her mouth but couldn’t think of how to explain.

    And her silent expression, seen by Old Master Helan—what was there not to understand?

    He could only quickly beg Xiao Yueqing for mercy.

    “Great hero, my daughter has been a bit willful since childhood. What she did today was just a joke. She’s only a twenty-year-old child—please don’t hold it against her.”

    Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

    Why did all these so-called elders use the same rhetoric?

    Always saying “she’s still just a child.” Over twenty and still a child—wouldn’t that make her a giant baby?

    Yun Dan quickly stood up and ran to Xiao Yueqing’s side, but didn’t make any physical contact with him, acting as if they were strangers.

    She only refuted Old Master Helan, saying, “I say, old sir, if you’re going to make excuses for your daughter, at least find a better reason. You keep saying she’s still just a child.

    How old is she, and she’s still a child? So if she makes a mistake, can we just pretend nothing happened? Then if you make a mistake, should your father at sixty or seventy still be saying you’re just a child?”

    This comment made Xiao Yueqing laugh.

    He hadn’t known that Yun Dan could be so cutting with her words.

    Old Master Helan’s face clearly couldn’t take it anymore.

    He didn’t know if these two people were together.

    But if his daughter had kidnapped someone from the Tang Sect, if the Tang Sect investigated, it would be a serious matter.

    How could his Helan family contend with the Tang Sect?

    “Miss, my daughter truly knows she was wrong. All these things before were unintentional mistakes—please be magnanimous and forgive her.”

    Yun Dan raised an eyebrow and asked him back, “So if it were reversed and I kidnapped your daughter and planned to throw her in some unknown corner, and when you found me I told you to please forgive me because it was all unintentional—would you believe me? Would you forgive me?”

    Now Old Master Helan was completely speechless.

    A typical case of “the needle doesn’t hurt unless it pricks you.”

    However, Yun Dan knew now that she couldn’t reveal that she knew Xiao Yueqing.

    And she was still angry with Xiao Yueqing.

    So she prepared to leave.

    “Old sir, I was captured and brought here from the Tang Sect, so you need to send someone to take me back to the Tang Sect. As for your daughter, if she doesn’t apologize to me, tomorrow I’ll have people from the Tang Sect come find you for a talk personally.”

    Yun Dan wasn’t afraid of them.

    Besides, she had originally been captured from the Tang Sect, and they had no evidence to prove she wasn’t from the Tang Sect.

    Compared to the Helan family, the Tang Sect could simply crush them—she didn’t believe they wouldn’t be afraid.

    Sure enough, Old Master Helan panicked upon hearing this.

    He could only turn to Xiao Yueqing for help. “Great hero, could you perhaps help mediate?”

    Xiao Yueqing’s response was also very straightforward.

    “None of my business.”

    But right now he had more important matters to attend to.

    He grabbed Helan Xue by the throat, looking very much like he was about to snap her neck on the spot.
