1793 Interrogation to Duke North 2

Zheng Chenyis expression s.h.i.+fted as he absorbed the words being spoken to him.

He couldnt help but feel a sense of detachment from the outsiders judgment. His interactions with the City Lord of Snow Territory were purely based on their mutual interests and held no relevance to anyone else. He was not obligated to explain himself or be interrogated in such a manner.

However, a subtle discomfort washed over him as he was accused of betraying trust. What was wrong with his actions? From his perspective, he wasnt causing any real harm. The discomfort she would experience was temporary and non-fatal. There was nothing to be afraid of, and he could a.s.sure that much.

In fact, he had grand plans for her once she became his wife. He intended to treat her with utmost care and affection, surpa.s.sing the treatment she had ever received from anyone else. He envisioned a future where she would be his queen.

So what if I did? What right do you have to question me? Who are you to her? You hold no closer connection to her than I do, Zheng Chenyi retorted defiantly.

.

Furthermore, its clear that you have your own motives for her. I know all about your need for Golden Rolls. We each obtain what we desire by doing what we must. City Lord, what is your true purpose for being here? Speak plainly, without beating around the bush.

.

Piaomiao Pavilion and I have a cooperative relations.h.i.+p. If you have a specific request, just state it, Zheng Chenyi responded with displeasure evident in his voice.

He truly disliked the arrogant demeanor of the City Lord of Snow Territory. The way he spoke was infuriating.

The City Lord scoffed, unable to contain his frustration. You imbecile!

.

Do you really think youve accomplished something by betraying her trust and causing her pain? Do you believe youre so capable that both Piaomiao Pavilion and we are seeking your a.s.sistance?

.

Piaomiao Pavilion is manipulating you. They are forcing you to offer up the Golden Rolls!

.

But you are all such fools!

.

Now, she will accompany me to Snow Territory to retrieve the Fire Lotus, which can detoxify her, Ouyang Mingjing stated sharply, his gaze fixed on Zheng Chenyi.

True.

The foolish actions of Duke North inadvertently served Ouyang Mingjings plans, yet he remained displeased that his future wife had been entangled with such an indecent man.

Driven by frustration, he allowed himself to release his anger, hoping it would bring him some semblance of satisfaction. However, true happiness continued to elude him, leaving a sense of suffocation in his heart.

I am the City Lord of Snow Territory, and while I cannot act against individuals in the Saint Divine Land, know that if you continue to harm her, you will face dire consequences! Ouyang Mingjing snapped, his voice dripping with warning.

Having issued his caution, he turned his attention to Zheng Chenyi. You would do well to remain in your place and cease your hurtful actions. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to cross the boundary!

.

You are unworthy of Phoenix Girl. You simply do not measure up.
