Chapter 72: Kneel

Ji Fengyan’s words were exactly the same as what Lei Xu said previously. But now, she had repeated them to Lei Xu.

Lei Xu’s face was extremely unpleasant. He could only watch with his own eyes as his son was hit by Linghe’s subordinates until his flesh was torn. The hatred he had for Ji Fengyan rose to the limit, and he had almost crushed his own teeth in order to restrain himself from rushing forward.

Linghe and his men’s battling abilities were very strong and his men were insufficient. If there was really a fight, Ji Fengyan could hold them accountable for another offence and kill them. Then, no one would be able to stop her.

50 hits was something that even a strong man would lose half a life from, what more for Lei Min such a delicate young master?

It was only 10 hits, but the cloth on Lei Min’s butt was already torn and tattered. Fresh blood soaked the torn cloth red and a thick blood smell wafted in the air.

At the beginning, Lei Min was still cursing, but those swearing turned to pleas afterwards. And even after, he had started to foam in his mouth and his eyes closed.

However, Linghe and his men did not seem to want to stop at all.

Lei Xu watched with his heart palpitating. As he watched his son almost being beaten to death, Lei Xu could not care about anything else and immediately stepped forward to hold the sword that Linghe had raised high in the air, “you cannot hit anymore! If you continue to hit him, Min’er will die!”

Linghe’s mouth jerked, as he obviously did not care about Lei Xu’s act of pity.

From their point of view, it would be best to beat this little bastard Lei Min to death, so why would they have mercy?

Lei Xu realised Linghe’s indifference and his gaze once again landed on Ji Fengyan, who was standing calmly at the side. It was clear that if Ji Fengyan did not open her mouth, Linghe and his men would not stop at all.

Lei Xu’s inner feelings were very complicated. He looked at Ji Fengyan’s mocking expression and took a deep breath and stepped forward...

With a thump, he knelt in front of Ji Fengyan!

This kneel by Lei Xu made everyone stunned on the spot, especially those family heads. They had never thought that the Lei Xu, who was full of tricks up his sleeve, would actually be forced to such a state by a little brat.

“Fengyan, you are Ji City’s City Lord and had some affections with Min’er since a young age. Min’er has been a little spoilt these few years in Ji City, and it was because I did not teach him well. I hope that Fengyan you can give him a chance. He had no intentions of doubting you or Your Majesty. He was just a little impatient and afraid of harming the peace, which was why he would say things like that,” Lei Xu said while straightening his voice, and his eyes were already bloodshot.

Ji Fengyan looked at Lei Xu and slightly tilted her head to say, “Master Lei, what did you say? The wind is too strong. I did not hear clearly.”

Lei Xu secretly gritted his teeth as he almost exploded with rage. But seeing Lei Xu’s badly mangled look, he had no choice but to bow down and admit defeat.

“Your subordinate Lei Xu begs Master City Lord to have mercy and let my son off this time! He would not commit the same mistake next time!” Lei Xu said each word clearly and every word he said with a trembling voice and intent to kill.

Ji Fengyan’s eyes smiled and she pretended to be easygoing as she said, “Master Lei why do you have to do this. Fine, everyone stop. It’s really tough on Master Lei to have such a troublesome son. Today I shall forget about the other punishments because of Master Lei’s sake, but I still hope that Lei Min will learn his lesson.”

Lei Xu used all the swear words at Ji Fengyan in his heart, while his face still had to pretend to be eternally grateful.

“Many thanks to City Lord!”
