The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Ling Xiuhan, a man of noble status and stern temperament, was standing by the railing on the third floor, staring at Lan Yunyan and Shen Qingfeng below with a sharp gaze.

He originally wanted to come to the teahouse to relax and unwind after finishing his tedious work.

However, when he walked into the teahouse and was about to find a place to sit down, he unexpectedly saw Lan Yunyan and Shen Qingfeng.

Seeing Shen Qingfeng smile to Lan Yunyan, Ling Xiuhan felt an indescribable anger surge in his heart.

He didn't like seeing Lan Yunyan having any intimate behavior with other men.

He gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. He stared coldly at Shen Qingfeng, as if he could see through him. However, he also knew that it would be unwise to go down and look for Lan Yunyan now.

So, he suppressed his anger and turned to leave the teahouse. He knew he needed to calm down.

The chance encounter between Lan Yunyan and Shen Qingfeng seemed to have stirred up waves in his heart again.

Xu Qing noticed the interaction between Lan Yunyan and Shen Qingfeng, and her anger instantly ignited. She couldn't accept Shen Qingfeng's smile to Lan Yunyan, as if it was a betrayal to her.

"Lan Yunyan, give me back my brother Qingfeng!"

Xu Qing roared, pulling out a whip from her storage ring. The sharp whip lashed towards Lan Yunyan's face. Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to disfigure Lan Yunyan to relieve her hatred.

Lan Yunyan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, dodging quickly.

At the same time, she grabbed Xu Qing's wrist and said in a cold tone: "Xu Qing, that's enough! What happened between you and Shen Qingfeng has nothing to do with me. If you make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude!"

However, Xu Qing seemed to have lost her mind and refused to listen to Lan Yunyan's words. She struggled to break free from Lan Yunyan's hand and swung the whip again, attempting to attack Lan Yunyan.

Lan Yunyan didn't tolerate her either. With a stern look in her eyes, she dodged Xu Qing's whip by turning sideways easily.

She frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in her tone: "Xu Qing, don't be so unreasonable. I didn't want to argue with you, but you are so aggressive."

Xu Qing's face was full of anger, and she would not listen to Lan Yunyan's words at all. She raised the whip again and whipped Lan Yunyan with all her strength.

Lan Yunyan tapped the ground lightly with her toes, her figure floating backward like a swallow. At the same time, with a flick of her wrist, an invisible force struck Xu Qing. Xu Qing felt a powerful pressure coming at her, and the whip in her hand almost slipped out of her grasp. She was startled, realizing that Lan Yunyan was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined.

"Xu Qing, let's stop here. If we continue like this, it will not be good for either you or me." Lan Yunyan's voice was calm.

Xu Qing bit her lip. Although she felt unwilling, she also knew that if she continued to pester him, there would be no good results. She glared at Lan Yunyan fiercely, turned and left, leaving only a stubborn back.

Lan Yunyan quietly watched Xu Qing's back as she turned and left, and her tense nerves just relaxed a little.

However, at this moment, Xu Qing turned around suddenly without any warning, and the whip in her hand lashed out again as fast as a poisonous snake, and the sound of it breaking through the air was sharp and piercing.

Lan Yunyan's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade. She tapped the ground with her toes, and her figure was like a ghost, approaching Xu Qing in an instant at an astonishing speed.

Xu Qing's eyes were full of astonishment. Before she could react, Lan Yunyan stretched out her right hand and grabbed the whip with lightning precision.

The powerful force of the whip caused Lan Yunyan's arm to tremble slightly, but she held it tightly and did not give in at all.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yunyan pulled the whip with lightning speed.

Under this huge pulling force, Xu Qing lost her balance instantly, staggered, and almost fell down.

Lan Yunyan didn't give Xu Qing any chance to breathe, launching a high kick. Her leg movements were fluid and powerful, almost invisible. With a fierce force, the kick struck Xu Qing's wrist, where she was holding the whip.

Xu Qing felt a sharp pain in her wrist, as if her bones were about to be shattered by a kick. The whip instantly slipped out of her hand.

Lan Yunyan caught the whip steadily, and with a slight shake of her wrist, the whip made a crisp and loud sound in the air.

She gripped the whip tightly, her eyes sharp as she stared at Xu Qing, as if to say, "I am not someone you can easily provoke."

Xu Qing was intimidated by Lan Yunyan's aura, and a flash of panic flashed across her originally frantic eyes. She hadn't expected Lan Yunyan to be able to catch her whip so easily.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp crack of a whip, followed by Xu Qing's scream. She covered her injured cheek, blood seeping from between her fingers, her eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.

"Lan Yunyan, you ruined my appearance. The Xu family will not let you go!" Xu Qing's voice was sharp and full of resentment. She wanted to pour all her anger on Lan Yunyan.

However, Lan Yunyan simply sneered, her laughter revealing disdain and mockery. "Xu Qing, if you truly believe you're right, why don't you go to the Xu residence and file a complaint? Let's see if the Xu family will support you, a young lady who's acting unreasonably, or if they'll think you're asking for trouble?"

Lan Yunyan's words were like an icicle, piercing Xu Qing's heart with a sharp pain. She knew she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage today, and instead, she'd lost face. However, the hatred in her heart burned like wildfire, unquenchable.

"Lan Yunyan, just wait, I will never give up!"

Xu Qing growled with gritted teeth, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

Her eyes were like poisoned blades, staring straight at Lan Yunyan, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

However, Lan Yunyan just looked at her coldly, with disdain and indifference in her eyes.
