First Volume, Chapter 388: I Am Naturally Kind

Xiao Xiangxiang was born into lowliness; even with the Qin Family's protection and the Young Master's boundless favor, she could never become a Miss.

For Xiao Xiangxiang, the pinnacle of her life was becoming Qin Feng's concubine.

Yet the surrounding commoners cast upon Xiao Xiangxiang looks of envy, even awe.

Xiao Xiangxiang gradually understood that, in everyone's eyes, she was already the Young Master's woman—even without formal status.

Moved, happy, tinged with a hint of shyness.

As Xiao Xiangxiang stepped toward Qingya Pavilion, the surrounding commoners—even the noble-born Young Masters—voluntarily stepped back, making way for her.

What nonsense! For this maid, Qin Feng made the Di Royal Capital run with blood; before daring to offend Xiao Xiangxiang, one must first weigh the consequences.

Meanwhile, inside Qingya Pavilion, Liu Lan and Chen Teng had curled up on the floor, clutching their heads, emitting only low moans—where was their earlier arrogance?

Qin Feng's stance was clear: anyone who touched his family must pay the price!

Qin Feng ignored the half-dead Liu Lan and Chen Teng, walked to the door, and gently tapped it: "Elder Sister, it's over. Come out."

After a moment, the door slowly opened, revealing Shen Qingci before them.

Seeing Liu Lan and Chen Teng lying on the floor, drenched in blood, and recalling their earlier hysterical screams, Shen Qingci already knew what had happened.

"Feng'er, you only needed to drive them away—you needn't have gone so far."

Shen Qingci gently urged, worried this would bring trouble upon Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng slipped the paperweight into Shen Qingci's hand, shrugged indifferently, and grinned at everyone: "Elder Sister, someone as kind as me wouldn't kill anyone—look, neither of these two has had their legs broken."

At these words, the surrounding Young Masters instinctively shrank back.

So kind!

What if Qin Feng bared his teeth and showed his cruelty? How far would it go?

Qin Feng scanned Shen Qingci from head to toe, confirmed she was "unharmed," then exhaled in relief and smiled again: "Good. You're safe."

Feeling the deep concern in Qin Feng's gaze, Shen Qingci's heart warmed.

Qin Feng turned, looked at Liu Lan and Chen Teng, lying dazed and beaten, and without delay waved his hand toward the Tianji Camp Guards who had arrived at the door: "Take these two to Tianji Camp!"

At this, Chen Teng, who had been feigning unconsciousness, immediately scrambled to his feet, face as pale as paper.

"Qin Feng… you… you're going too far! Even if I die, I won't go to Tianji Camp!"

It was already common knowledge in Jingdu: anyone with a clean record, even if detained in Tianji Camp for days, would leave unharmed.

But those who had committed crimes—once inside Tianji Camp—it wasn't just a matter of losing skin.

No one knew what inhuman tortures Qin Feng's earlier spies had endured, but anyone who passed by Tianji Camp could hear its screams, like those from hell.

Absolutely no one must enter Tianji Camp!

Too bad…

The Tianji Camp Guards paid no heed, rushed in, and dragged up Chen Teng and Liu Lan.

At that moment, a cold snort rang out.

The Eleventh Prince, who had witnessed the entire scene, raised an eyebrow and shot Qin Feng a piercing glare: "Qin Feng, this is Jingdu—how dare you act so recklessly?"

The Eleventh Prince glanced at the Tianji Camp Guards: "Release them!"

Since entering, Qin Feng had noticed the Eleventh Prince; since the prince had been feigning aloofness, Qin Feng decided to play along and ignored him entirely.

Now that the Eleventh Prince could no longer sit still, Qin Feng gladly took the opening, plastering on a smile.

"Oh? If it isn't His Highness the Eleventh Prince? What are you doing here? My eyes must be failing!"

"Today, His Highness the Eleventh Prince graces Qingya Pavilion—this humble shop is honored! Someone, quickly bring new tea for His Highness!"

The Eleventh Prince ignored Qin Feng's flattery, his eyes fixed on the Tianji Camp Guards: "Release them. I'll say it one last time!"

The Tianji Camp Guards remained unmoved, still holding Liu Lan and Chen Teng, turning to Qin Feng, awaiting his order.

Seeing the Tianji Camp Guards dare to defy the Eleventh Prince's command,

Liu Lan screamed hysterically: "Everyone saw it! The Tianji Camp Guards disobeyed His Highness's order—they intend rebellion! Quick, report to the Imperial Guard! Send the Dragon Tiger Army to suppress them!"

At Liu Lan's outburst, the Tianji Camp Guards immediately pulled out ropes and gagged him from behind.

Now Liu Lan could only emit muffled "ooh ooh ooh" sounds.

The onlookers were all terrified, trembling like leaves.

This was the son of the Minister of Imperial Sacrifices—how noble! Yet treated so brutally by Tianji Camp Guards—had Qin Feng truly become utterly reckless?

The Eleventh Prince flew into a rage, slammed his palm onto the table, and growled: "Qin Feng! How dare you! No matter how much the Emperor favors you, if you defy me today, I swear I will not spare you!"

Seeing this, Shen Qingci frowned slightly and tugged Qin Feng's sleeve, whispering urgently: "Enough, Feng'er. Don't let a small matter escalate."

Hearing this, Qin Feng was displeased: "A small matter? These bastards came right to our door, publicly flirting with my Elder Sister—and you call that small?"

Shen Qingci's heart jolted, sensing an unprecedented aura of dominance radiating from Qin Feng—she felt a sudden panic.

How had this boy changed so completely?

Though startled, Shen Qingci felt more emotion—gratitude.

To be protected so fiercely by Qin Feng—even if she suffered the greatest injustice—it was worth it.

Qin Feng's words froze the entire crowd. Qingya Pavilion fell silent; all eyes darted between Qin Feng and the Eleventh Prince.

The Eleventh Prince's face turned ashen: "What did you just say?"

"Do you know what happens to those who disrespect me?"

Facing the enraged Eleventh Prince, everyone held their breath—but Qin Feng remained indifferent, coldly smiling at him: "When Liu Lan and Chen Teng mocked my Elder Sister, where were you? When Liu Lan pounded on the inner chamber door—so brazenly rude—where were you? You sat calmly sipping tea? Were these two acting on your orders?"

The Eleventh Prince leapt to his feet, staring coldly at Qin Feng: "Ridiculous! I came out of admiration—Shen Qingci refused to see me, that was disrespectful! What's wrong with Liu Lan and Chen Teng asking her out? Even if I had instructed them—which I didn't—what could you possibly do to me?"

"Qin Feng, no matter how much favor you enjoy, you are still a subject! I am of the Li Imperial Clan—I can have you executed with a single word!"

"Someone! Qin Feng has committed insolence! Punish him with a hundred lashes, slaps to the face, and kneecapping!"
