A group of City Guards immediately closed in.
"Wait!" Ye Xuan raised a hand and looked at the City Guard captain. "Are you just going to barge in and arrest people without distinguishing right from wrong? What has become of the kingdom's laws?"
Before the captain could speak, the young woman was already sneering, her voice ice-cold. "Right from wrong? The law? In the Royal City, I am the law. You dared to hit me, which is a death sentence. So, do you regret it now?"
She longed to see a different emotion in Ye Xuan's eyes—fear, perhaps, or remorse.
However, she was disappointed. Ye Xuan's gaze was placid, without the slightest ripple.
Leng Yingying and the others glanced at the City Guard captain, only to see his expressionless face. He clearly had no objection to the young woman's words.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a faint smile. "This Liuyun Kingdom is truly rotten to the core!"
