Chapter 67: Kneel and Apologize to My Brother!
After a moment of silence, the old man raised his hand, and Yi Qianmo, who was hanging in the air, fell to the ground.
"Miss, you can put down the dagger now, can’t you?"
The old man said, "We have come to take you home."
"My home is right here; I am not going anywhere."
Yi Lingyu quickly ran to Yi Qianmo’s side. "Brother, are you okay?"
"I won’t die."
Yi Qianmo coughed violently a few times, then looked up at the old man with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"If the young lady says that, it makes things difficult for us."
The old man said, "You should think not only of yourself but also of the Yi family. If you don’t come with us, we will face consequences when we go back."
At this moment, he looked at Yi Danian and said, "Elder Yi, you should advise the young lady. After all, what can your Yi family offer her?"
Yi Danian’s face showed humiliation, but he had no choice, "I cannot decide this."
"Hmm!"
The old man’s expression turned cold, "So, you Yi family means to trouble us?"
As he spoke, a pressure radiated from him, causing everyone’s faces to change dramatically. Both Yi Danian and the Yi family members present fell to their knees, unable to lift their heads.
Yi Qianmo, crouched on the ground, trembled all over, but Yi Lingyu showed no sign of fear. She immediately took a dagger and pointed it at her own neck, threatening, "Stop this at once!"
"Miss, please don’t make it difficult for me."
The old man did not withdraw his pressure, "I told you, in my presence, you cannot harm yourself. Also, I have given the young lady plenty of time. If it weren’t for considering her feelings, we wouldn’t stay here any longer."
"Crash!"
The dagger in Yi Lingyu’s hand fell to the ground. She wanted to pick it up, but she found that she couldn’t move at all.
"Old man, if you hurt her, I will tear you apart!"
Yi Qianmo gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly, but no matter how hard he tried to resist, he couldn’t move.
"A bunch of ants!"
Tang Yuan stepped in front of him and said, "You should look at yourself before speaking. It’s already kind of me to treat you this way, yet you still act so ungratefully!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Yi Qianmo across the face.
Yi Lingyu immediately stood in front of him and said, "I will go with you. Let them go right now."
"Lingyu!!!"
Yi Qianmo shouted in a deep voice.
"Did you not hear what I said?"
Yi Lingyu looked at the old man and said, "Let them go!"
"If you had done this earlier, there wouldn’t be so many problems."
The old man smiled slightly, and the Yi family members felt a weight lifted from their shoulders. Tang Yuan lowered his hand; he would dare to strike Yi Qianmo, but he did not dare to strike this young lady.
"You, kneel down!"
Yi Lingyu looked up and said to Tang Yuan.
"Hmm?"
Tang Yuan looked at Yi Lingyu with confusion and asked, "Miss, what do you mean?"
"I said to kneel down!"
Yi Lingyu had a cold face; the usually gentle little girl was gone.
"Miss, don’t joke with me. We are a family."
Tang Yuan said with a bright smile, "Your last name is Tang, and your name is Tang Qianlan. You are not a Yi. When you go home, I promise you won’t miss this place anymore. You don’t even know…"
"I command you to kneel!"
Yi Lingyu had a cold face, like an angry little tiger.
Tang Yuan stopped smiling, clenched his fists, immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "May I ask what you command, Miss?"
"Slap!"
Yi Lingyu raised her hand and gave him a slap, making everyone feel shocked and scared.
No one expected that the usually gentle Yi Lingyu would suddenly act like this. The entire Yi family knew that she was the kindest person in the house; she could not even bear to step on an ant.
The servant in the mansion made a mistake, and not even a word of scolding would be heard, let alone hitting someone.
Tang Yuan, who had just been slapped, looked confused. Although this slap was not as loud as the one Yi Qianmo gave earlier, being in front of so many people made him feel extremely embarrassed and angry!
Seeing Tang Yuan glaring at her in anger, Yi Lingyu said, "You are right; my last name is Tang. I am a young lady of the Tang family. I may not know who you are, but… my position in the Tang family should be higher than yours!"
"Slap"
Before Tang Yuan could react, Yi Lingyu slapped him again, "That slap earlier was for you insulting my Grandpa, and this slap is for you insulting my Brother!"
Tang Yuan’s body trembled slightly. He had never faced such humiliation before, but at this moment, he didn’t dare to move, let alone retaliate.
The little girl in front of him was absolutely right; in the Tang family, his position was far below hers. He couldn’t complain if she slapped him twice; even if she killed him, he wouldn’t have a word of complaint.
Just as Yi Lingyu raised her hand, an elder walked over from a distance and said, "Miss, that’s enough. Although Tang Yuan is at fault, you should also consider your family’s reputation."
"Slap"
Yi Lingyu didn’t even look at him; with a swift slap, she hit him. Only after that did she turn to the old man and say, "Does he represent the face of the Tang family?"
The old man frowned but didn’t speak; however, he noticed that the little girl in front of him was very different from when she first arrived.
When she came, she timidly hid behind Yi Danian, but now Yi Lingyu’s eyes showed fierce determination.
Seeing this, Yi Lingyu looked at the kneeling Tang Yuan and said, "If you call my brother a little beast, then what does that make me? If you call my Grandpa an old man, what does that make me?"
"Smack"
Another slap followed, and Yi Lingyu stared at him fiercely. "Immediately bow down and apologize to my brother."
Seeing the fierce Yi Lingyu, the Yi family members couldn’t believe it; if it weren’t for her familiar face, they would have thought they recognized the wrong person.
The stunned Tang Yuan, though unwilling, knelt on the ground to apologize to Yi Qianmo and Yi Danian.
But Yi Lingyu did not let him off; after he apologized, she raised her hand and gave him dozens more slaps until Tang Yuan’s face was swollen, and then she stopped.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Yi Lingyu turned around and looked at Yi Qianmo with worry in her eyes.
"I’m fine."
Yi Qianmo was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Your hand…"
Yi Lingyu clenched her fist and said, "Don’t worry, brother, I’m fine. In the past, you and grandpa protected me, but now I will protect you. As long as I am here, no one can make you suffer."
Yi Qianmo felt a lump in his throat and hugged her tightly, saying, "You silly girl."
"Brother, I have made a decision. I want to go to the Tang family."
Yi Lingyu, buried in his arms, sobbed, "I want to become a fairy too. I don’t want to be a burden to you. I will protect you and the family."
Yi Qianmo’s heart trembled. He had let his sister choose, but now that she had made her choice, he felt so unwilling and so sad inside.
He remembered the days with the Yu family, which were the darkest moments of his life, but his sister was a ray of light in those dark times.
He could never forget the sight of her when he first saw her; she looked weak and afraid, making him want to protect her.
It was in that moment he decided that no matter how much humiliation he faced, he had to survive because there were people in this world who needed him to protect them.
But just then, Yi Lingyu suddenly turned to Yi Qianmo, wiped her tears alone, and said, "Brother, Grandpa… wait for me to come back."
She strode towards the old man and said, "Let’s go!"
