The secret guards said nothing, but just stared at them closely, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly in the sunlight.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, as if even the air had frozen. Their gazes were like sharp blades, chilling and chilling.

Liang Zhixin swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling: "You, don't mess around, our Liang family is not to be messed with!"

Her trembling legs revealed her inner fear.

Her husband was so frightened that his face turned pale. He trembled and pulled her sleeve: "Madam, how about we go now?"

Liang Zhixin's brothers were so frightened that they dared not say a word. They shrank their necks and dared not even breathe.

The previous arrogance has disappeared without a trace.

Gu Qingyan snorted coldly: "It's not that easy to leave now."

He folded his arms across his chest, looking at them coldly. He stood with his back straight, exuding an oppressive aura that made people afraid to approach him.

Liang Zhixin's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to say, "You, what do you want?"

His voice trembled more and more violently, and his eyes avoided, not daring to look Gu Qingyan in the eye.

Gu Qingyan took a step forward, his eyes like cold stars, making people's backs chill: "You are so arrogant and unreasonable, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

Gu Qingyan looked at Liang Zhixin and said, "Although I can't touch you, but you provoked me first today, and your husband is missing limbs, so it's not easy for him to say anything."

Liang Zhixin's husbands were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and they stammered for mercy: "This, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Gu Qingyan's lips curled up into a mocking smile, and his eyes swept over everyone present, full of deterrence: "Misunderstanding? You brought people here to cause trouble, and you think you can let it go with just a misunderstanding?"

At this moment, one of Liang Zhixin's brothers fell to his knees with a thud, his body trembling constantly, crying, "We were wrong, please be magnanimous and let us go."

Seeing this, the other brothers followed suit and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The whole scene was in chaos, and there was no more arrogance and domineering behavior as before.

Their foreheads were pressed against the ground, and they kept muttering words like "spare my life" and "we were wrong".

Liang Zhixin was also panicked at this moment, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed.

She bit her lip and tried to calm herself down, but her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Master Gu, I didn't recognize Mount Tai. Please be kind and let us go."

Gu Qingyan looked at them with a sharp gaze, "It's not me you should apologize to."

Liang Zhixin and the others looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. Their faces were still filled with fear and panic, and their eyes were wandering.

Gu Qingyan pointed at Liang Junze with a serious tone and a stern expression: "The one who should apologize the most for making such a fuss today is him."

Liang Zhixin bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice with a hint of reluctance: "Brother, it's my sister's fault."

Her brothers also bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes: "I'm sorry, Junze brother."

The voices were mixed, and some even contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

Liang Junze looked at them and was silent for a moment: "I hope you won't act so impulsively in the future."

Gu Qingyan then waved his hand, his face full of annoyance: "Let's go, don't disturb our fun anymore."

Liang Zhixin and others were as if they had been pardoned, and quickly turned around and left, fearing that Gu Qingyan would change his mind.

They walked quickly and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief as the situation calmed down, but then fell into self-doubt.

Her eyes revealed confusion and worry, and she murmured to herself, "Am I too naive? I thought that here I could be as peaceful and stable as in modern times."

Her brows were furrowed, her thoughts tangled like a tangled mess.

In this era of female dominance, women are the sky, men have a low status, and even their relatives can bully them at will.

The woman took advantage of the law that prohibited men from laying hands on women and did whatever she wanted.

Some women, relying on the number of their husbands, feel that they have support and act more recklessly.

Considering how critical the situation is today, if Gu Qingyan hadn't made arrangements in advance, the consequences would be disastrous.

It seems that I have always lived in this world with modern thinking, ignoring the rules and potential dangers here.

She never seemed to have a sense of crisis and always looked at everything too optimistically.

Su Yue looked into the distance, looking a little dazed.

She seemed to see the cruel truth hidden beneath the prosperous appearance of this world, the helplessness and pain of those oppressed men, and the arrogance and domineering of those women.

She couldn't help but ask herself whether she could truly adapt to this world and whether she could protect herself and those around her in such an environment.

The wind blew gently, ruffling her hair, but it couldn't calm the turmoil in her heart.

Su Yue stood there for a long time without saying a word, lost in deep thought.

Liang Junze noticed Su Yue's abnormality and walked to her side, his eyes full of concern: "Yuer, what's wrong with you?"

Su Yue looked at the three of them, her eyes filled with both gratitude and self-blame: "Ayan, thank goodness you made arrangements in advance today. I was just thinking too simply.

I always thought that life would be smooth and peaceful, but I didn't expect danger to come so suddenly.

I can't go on like this. I don't want to be helpless when danger strikes."

Her voice trembled slightly and her hands clenched unconsciously.

Gu Qingyan walked forward and gently rubbed her head, his action full of tenderness and comfort: "Yuer, you are already fine, but this is not something that can be achieved overnight, so don't be impatient.

As long as I'm here, I won't let you fall into danger."

His eyes were firm and affectionate, trying to convey strength and reassurance to Su Yue.

Su Yue shook her head, a determined look on her face: "No, Ayan. In Mingxi Country, no matter how strong a man is, he is still helpless in the face of a woman.

The law favors women, and social customs oppress men.

Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will be restricted in every way if a woman deliberately makes things difficult for you.

Only when I become strong can I truly protect you.

I don't want to always rely on you for protection, I want to be the one who can shelter you from the wind and rain."

Liang Junze stepped forward and held Su Yue's hand: "Yuer, I believe you. But no matter what, we will always be by your side and face everything together."

Lin Yuxuan also nodded: "Yuer, let's work hard together."

Su Yue looked at them, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. That was the strength given to her by trust and support.

But she also knows that the road ahead is full of challenges, and she must make herself extremely strong in order to protect everything she cherishes in this world where women are dominant.

Su Yue sighed, then quickly cheered up: "Let's continue, we finally got out."

A smile appeared on her face again. Although there was still a trace of fear in that smile after the recent storm, it was more of a cherishment for the present time.

Gu Qingyan and Lin Yuxuan ran happily towards the empty grassland in the distance, holding their kites.

They ran and laughed, with kites in their hands swaying in the wind.

Su Yue and Liang Junze sat side by side on the grass, watching them quietly.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling Su Yue's hair.

From time to time, she turned her head to look at Liang Junze, and they smiled at each other, their eyes full of tenderness and love.

Gu Qingyan instructed from the side, his expression focused, his eyes following the movement of the kite: "Run faster, faster, yes, that's it!"

Lin Yuxuan shouted excitedly: "Fly up, fly up!"

From time to time, the cheerful laughter of Gu Qingyan and Lin Yuxuan could be heard in the distance. The laughter echoed in the open grassland, full of vitality and joy.

Su Yue looked at their figures, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously: "Look how happy they are playing."

Liang Junze nodded gently: "Yes, this kind of time is really good."

At this time, Gu Qingyan and Lin Yuxuan also came over. Gu Qingyan joked, "Hey, you two are so affectionate here, don't forget me."

Su Yue's face flushed slightly, and she glared at Gu Qingyan coquettishly: "You are just talking nonsense."

Lin Yuxuan's eyes moved around among the crowd, full of joy: "And me, and me."

Everyone smiled at each other, held hands, and left happy figures in the sunshine.

The breeze blew gently, as if blessing them.
