"Maybe Liu Yuchen… he has some misunderstanding toward you." Feng Rushuang smiled a little, trying to reason out the whole thing. "Sister, you did break the couple apart to get Liu Yuchen for yourself. So, it's quite understandable if he has misunderstood you. Please cool down, Sister. You are at fault too, aren't you?" She pleaded.

Suddenly, everyone quietened down.

It was undeniable that no matter how Feng Ruqing had changed now, the past Feng Ruqing had done a lot of malicious damage just to get Liu Yuchen during those days. Everyone was aware of her ill manners and wrongdoings, so it was normal for Liu Yuchen to be prejudiced against her.

He could not be blamed for this.

Feng Ruqing sneered coldly. "I am willing to admit all my mistakes in the past, but it doesn't mean that I will bear the false accusations thrown at me! Feng Rushuang, you are a princess of Liu Yun Kingdom too, the daughter of our father! Defaming my reputation is equal to a huge embarra.s.sment to our father, and this is an unfilial act. Damaging our kingdom's reputation is a disloyal act. For someone unfilial and disloyal like you, who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?"

Feng Rushuang's face went red with embarra.s.sment.

"Moreover..." Feng Ruqing smirked at Feng Rushuang and glared at her sharply. The corners of her mouth twitched. "n.o.body can simply teach me, Feng Ruqing, a lesson!"

She was indeed arrogant and aggressive.

Totally insufferably arrogant!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A round of applause could be heard from Paramount upstairs.

Feng Ruqing looked in the direction of the clapping. In a split second, she saw a gold and purple robe appear.

Half of the guy's face was covered with a mask so she could not see his whole face. However, he seemed different from the people she had met before. Comparing to the state preceptor's cold and elegant looks, Qin Chen's innocent looks, this guy in front of her had a mysterious and demonic aura which unknowingly draw people to him.

"Is this… the owner of Paramount? Why is he here?"

Actually, Paramount was involved in many trades which included herbs shop, restaurant, bank, casino, and even spirit beast court. However, this owner usually preferred to stay out of the limelight and had rarely appeared in the restaurant. His remarkable and symbolic mask did announce his presence and ident.i.ty to everyone who was present.

A wise old man was reverentially standing next to the guy.

The old man's facial expression was masked with indifference the whole time as if nothing concerned him.

The guy walked down the stairs steadily.

His steps were elegant and confident. The smirk seemed to stay on his face.

The pair of dark golden orbs gave off an eerie and strange feeling.

Feng Ruqing felt as if she could not breathe. All of a sudden, she felt as though her heart was being squeezed with every step the guy took. This guy gave out a strong sense of pressure to the others, which caused the atmosphere around him to become slightly tense up.

Staring at the guy who was walking toward Feng Ruqing, Feng Rushuang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flared angrily. 

Feng Rushuang did not know what position and influence Paramount possessed in this country, but she was aware that even His Majesty would show them some respect. If she could win over Paramount, maybe His Majesty would think highly of the Liu family, and they could earn a better social status in the future.

If Feng Ruqing came in contact with Paramount, the Liu family's chance of gaining favor would be lowered.

"Feng Ruqing, the daughter of Nalan Empress, is the most useless person in the world and has done countless terrible crimes by tormenting and oppressing people. Wicked, broke a couple apart, and committed all sorts of atrocious misdeeds."

With every single word the guy said, Feng Ruqing's face darkened with rage.

Her infamous reputation had spread like wildfire in everywhere that even the owner of Paramount knew about it.
