Chapter 766: How should this account be settled?

Zheng Jing stared blankly at Tang Bingyan's exquisite face, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He considered himself a young talent and the most excellent and promising person in the Zheng family, but even so, he couldn't make the Emperor look at him differently.

However, he wouldn't give up. After all, based on the relationship between his grandfather and the Emperor before, his marriage with the Emperor was almost a sure thing. As long as he could marry the Emperor, feelings could be cultivated slowly.

With this relationship, not only could the Zheng family's status among the major families go a step further, but he might also be able to take power in Thorn.

Zheng Jing was immersed in his own fantasies with surging emotions, and an excited look appeared in his eyes.

All of this was taken in by Xu Tian not far away. A coldness appeared in his eyes. As a man, he naturally understood what Zheng Jing's reaction meant now. His woman was being coveted by another man.

After the Zheng family expressed their position first, the heads of other gangs and family heads also expressed their positions one after another.

A certain gang head was full of smiles and said flatteringly.

"I have long heard that the Emperor has a peerless appearance. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved and extraordinary. You are young and can control Thorn to fight in all directions. It is a blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes to be able to work for you. Don't worry, we will definitely be loyal to you in the future, and everything will be at your command. As for the membership fees you stipulated, we will definitely pay them into your account on time every month."

"Emperor, our Li family is willing to be loyal to you..."

"The Hutou Gang is willing to submit to the Emperor..."

Seeing these people scrambling to express their loyalty, a woman with a charming appearance standing beside Tang Bingyan couldn't help but show a look of disdain.

These heads of forces all refused to pay membership fees when they saw the Emperor, but now that the Lord has returned, they immediately changed into another face and scrambled to express their loyalty. It is simply hypocritical to the extreme.

"Emperor, we are all sincerely submitting to you, and we are willing to pay membership fees on time, but..." A certain family head looked at Xu Tian gloatingly, a proud smile curling at his lips. "Some people are different. Relying on the fact that they have a hundred or so people under their command, they don't take you seriously, and even threatened that they would absolutely not pay membership fees, and the rules you set

are just dog farts..."

"Our Canglang Hall will never submit to anyone, and we don't have the hobby of rushing to be a dog for others." Before Xu Tian could speak, Zhong Yu took the lead in expressing her position. "However, if Thorn wants to submit to us and become a vassal of our Canglang Hall, we can also reluctantly protect you and collect some protection fees appropriately."

"Presumptuous!" That family head was so angry that his face turned red. "In front of the Emperor, how can a yellow-haired girl be rampant?"

"Yellow-haired girl?" Zhong Yu sneered. "Then do you also think the Thorn Emperor is a yellow-haired girl, since her age is about the same as mine?"

"You... you... simply sophistry, nonsense!" That family head was speechless by Zhong Yu's retort, and then found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap, so he hurriedly defended himself.

"Emperor, I think I didn't mean that, absolutely not!"

Tang Bingyan, sitting in the main seat, looked at the farce in front of her coldly, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

And the charming woman beside her had a flash of killing intent in her eyes.

Five years ago, when various gangs on Wuji Island jointly besieged Thorn, Canglang Hall was the vanguard. Now that their Emperor has returned, this Wolf King brought his subordinates to make trouble again. Does he really think Thorn's people are easy to bully?

"The quality of Canglang Hall is nothing more than this." The charming woman looked at Zhong Yu with eyes like knives. "After all, like master, like servant."

"You are the servant!" Zhong Yu exploded instantly. "Your whole family are servants!"

Xu Tian:...

The current situation had completely escaped his control.

But before he came, he clearly exhorted Zhong Yu on what to do after arriving on the Thorn Emperor's territory.

Even if they wanted to make trouble at the meeting, it shouldn't be this kind of meaningless abuse.

"Die!" The charming woman came to Zhong Yu like a gust of wind, raised her palm, and was about to strike her.

"Zeng Rou." Just then, Tang Bingyan suddenly spoke. "Stop."

The charming woman's movements stalled, and she glared at Zhong Yu with some unwillingness, but she still retreated to Tang Bingyan's side in the first time.

"Emperor." A certain elder of the Zheng family looked at Tang Bingyan cautiously. "The Wolf King is arrogant and lawless, and is really too presumptuous. Just now, on your territory, he ordered his subordinates to abolish the legs of our Zheng family members. I hope the Emperor can make the decision for us!"

Just when this high-level member was speaking, Tang Bingyan looked at Xu Tian's direction calmly, and turned her gaze back in an instant.

This subtle movement was captured by Xu Tian. A dark light flashed in his eyes.

This woman is simply exactly the same as Tang Bingyan.

At the first sight of her, Xu Tian determined that she was Tang Bingyan.

However, if she really was Tang Bingyan, why did she behave as if she didn't know him at all?

Or is it that there are really two people in the world who are completely similar, with the same appearance and temperament?

Or, does Tang Bingyan have any reason that makes her have to pretend not to know him...

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi?" Zhong Yu's voice interrupted Xu Tian's deep thought. He turned his head to look at the arrogant little girl beside him.

"Should we retreat?" Zhong Yu lowered her voice and said to Xu Tian. "If we don't retreat, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Xu Tian looked around nonchalantly. He found that there were Thorn people guarding the crossroads leading to all exits of the courtyard. With the arrival of the Thorn Emperor, Thorn's people had also surrounded the entire manor. It was basically impossible for them to sneak away now.

"Rest assured, we won't let Brother Yi have any accidents." The tall, thin youth was very confident.

"Hmm, then it all depends on you!" Zhong Yu patted his shoulder and made a pleading expression.

"Small matter, we are professional bounty hunters and have professional ethics." The tall, thin youth's ability to climb the pole had been practiced to the point of perfection.

Just after the Zheng family elder complained to the Thorn Emperor, the Zheng family people carried the pale-faced young man whose legs had been gouged out by the paralyzed man.

This person took painkillers, and the bleeding from the wound was stopped, but because of excessive blood loss, his face was pale, and plus the hatred in his eyes and his gloomy expression, he looked as terrifying and ugly as a ghost crawling out of hell.

"Everyone, judge for me. Our Zheng family member had his legs abolished by the Wolf King's subordinates, and his future is ruined. How should this account be settled?" Another high-level member of the Zheng family also accused excitedly.
