Chapter 342: The Jiangnan Wang's Demand!

Su Xueyan's words were like a warm current, instantly surging into Jiang Feng's heart.

He looked at the perceptive girl before him, his gaze full of tenderness.

"Indeed, I won't kill her. This matter is essentially the feud between me and the Xie Family, it has nothing to do with that little girl. Even if the Xie Family never shows up, in a few days I'll send someone to escort her away."

He kidnapped Tang Ruoxi only to force Xie Zhennan to appear and avenge his mother; he didn't truly intend to harm her.

Tang Ruoxi may be proud and willful, but after all she is an innocent, and he still wouldn't do something like taking an innocent's life to vent his anger.

Hearing this, Su Xueyan gave a faint smile, her brows and eyes curving.

"I knew you wouldn't be so ruthless. But that girl is probably terrified now, curled up in a small room, probably thinking all over her mind whether you'll go berserk and kill her outright."

Thinking of how Tang Ruoxi was trembling in the restaurant earlier, Su Xueyan found it somewhat amusing.

That little girl is surely spoiled normally; having never faced such a situation, it's no wonder she's scared.

Jiang Feng, upon hearing that, simply gave a faint smile.

"Scaring her a bit is fine; that brat is indeed a little too lawless. If I lacked some strength today and she used me as a shield, perhaps her four Grandmaster guards would forcibly take me to the Tang family, and that outcome would probably not be good."

Recalling that Tang Ruoxi even casually fabricated a pregnancy lie, Jiang Feng felt a bit helpless.

This brat acts without considering consequences; this time will serve as a lesson for her.

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Su Xueyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That's true. I believe after this incident, she certainly won't think about fleeing the marriage again."

The two sat in the main hall and chatted for a while longer.

Suddenly Jiang Feng glanced at the night outside and said.

"It's getting late today, you've been tired all day, there are quite a few rooms here, all cleaned up; you can rest here tonight."

He paused, his tone becoming solemn.

"Given the Xie Family's strength and their concern for Tang Ruoxi, I believe they'll come tomorrow. Then a big battle will be inevitable, and staying here will be safer for you."

Su Xueyan nodded, not refusing.

"Alright."

Su Xueyan replied softly.

"Then you should also rest early."

"Mm."

Jiang Feng nodded, stood up and said.

"I'll take you to a room."

The manor's rooms were kept very clean, furnished simply; not luxurious, but they excelled in neatness and comfort.

Jiang Feng escorted Su Xueyan to the doorway of a room.

"This room has good lighting and is quiet at night; you can stay here. If anything comes up, call me anytime."

"Alright, good night…"

"Good night."

……

Meanwhile, inside the Jiangnan Wang's residence, it was brightly lit.

At this moment, in the reception hall of the residence, Jiangnan Wang sat on the main seat, looking at the three standing before him with a half‑smile.

"Chuandu Tang Family, I recall having no ties with you; why come to see me late at night?"

"Prince, my subordinate He Bin, a member of the Chuandu Tang Family. This midnight disturbance is truly an urgent matter; we request your assistance!"

"Oh? The Tang Family seeks me? How interesting, speak, what is it?"

"Prince, the situation is as follows."

He Bin hurriedly explained Tang Ruoxi's runaway marriage and recounted the entire cause and effect of her kidnapping in Jiangcheng, then pleaded.

"Prince, that Heavenly Person Realm Expert is extremely powerful; our four Grandmasters are no match for him. The safety of the young lady is of great importance, please lend your aid to rescue her!" He Bin said, bowing deeply to Jiangnan Wang.

Jiangnan Wang's expression did not change at all, but his mind stirred with a wave.

A young Heavenly Person Realm Expert?

Kidnapped the Tang family's young lady and also bears a grudge against the Yunding Xie Family?

He instantly thought of someone.

Jiang Feng!

That fellow had, back at the Wuzun Ruins, slain the Half-step Celestial Realm monk Tiancan, and also ruined his marriage with the Qin Family's young lady, causing great humiliation.

He has ruled Jiangnan for years; Heavenly Person Realm experts in Jiangcheng are few.

The youngest is only Jiang Feng.

Combined with He Bin's account, the kidnapper of Tang Ruoxi is most likely Jiang Feng!

At this thought, Jiangnan Wang's mouth curled into a playful smile.

"To be frank, Mr. He, I indeed know who the culprit behind Miss Tang's kidnapping is."

He Bin's face instantly showed a delighted expression.

"Prince, you know? Excellent! Please tell us who the culprit is, and I will lead men to rescue the young lady immediately!"

"Don't rush."

Jiangnan Wang waved his hand.

"I not only know who he is, but I can also step in to help the Tang family and bring Miss Tang back."

He Bin's smile grew even brighter.

"Thank you, Prince! Your great kindness is unforgettable to my Tang family!"

"However…"

Jiangnan Wang turned his words, his Tone becoming profound.

After all I am Jiangnan Wang, a dignified Imperial Clan member, I cannot be driven by your Tang Family for no reason, can I?

He paused, his gaze sweeping over He Bin, his Tone bearing a faint aura of authority.

"You Tang Family in Chuandu are indeed an unyielding presence, but here… after all this is Jiangnan, my domain, you agree?"

He Bin's heart gave a thump, instantly understanding Jiangnan Wang's meaning.

They want a favor!

He is not foolish, knowing there is no free lunch in the world.

Jiangnan Wang's status is noble, he cannot help for free, there must be some condition.

He Bin took a deep breath, respectfully speaking to Jiangnan Wang.

"Prince, any request you have, say it without hesitation. As long as we can rescue our family's miss, my Tang Family will spare no expense!"

The Tang Family has operated in Chuandu for many years, with abundant wealth.

To rescue Tang Ruoxi, they are indeed willing to pay a great price.

Jiangnan Wang, hearing this, showed a satisfied Laughter on his face.

"Metal and silver treasures I lack."

He paused, a hint of cunning flashing in his gaze.

"I heard Miss Tang this time came out, dissatisfied with the family‑arranged marriage with the Song Family, so she fled, is that so?"

He Bin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Jiangnan Wang asked this, but still nodded.

"Prince, indeed it is so. The miss feels Song Family's Song Junhao is too frivolous, unwilling to marry him."

"Since that is so…"

Jiangnan Wang's smile at the corner of his mouth grew thicker, and he said slowly.

"How about considering me?"

"What?"

When those words came out, He Bin seemed struck by a thunderbolt, instantly widening his eyes.

He doubted whether he heard wrong, Jiangnan Wang actually wants to marry their Tang Family's miss?

Not only He Bin, but also the two Grandmasters standing behind him showed shocked expressions. Jiangnan Wang is an Imperial Clan member, his status exceedingly noble.

Although the Tang Family is a top family in Chuandu, compared with the Imperial Family they are still more than one tier lower. Jiangnan Wang actually has his eyes on Tang Ruoxi, and wants to marry her?

He Bin opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time; after a while, he stammered.

"Prince… Prince… you want to marry our Tang Family's miss?"

Jiangnan Wang, looking at He Bin's shocked expression, kept the smile on his face.

"Why? Not allowed?"

Chuandu Tang Family!

If we have their support, how could my great undertaking fail?
