The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1211

Xu Tian's actions instantly ignited the rich young master's anger. He glared at him and roared furiously, "You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

The rich young master rushed forward and grabbed Xu Tian's collar: "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time! What are you glaring at me for?! Apologize to me! Now!"

Despite being repeatedly provoked by the rich young master, Xu Tian's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the rich young master with composure, when the Prince of Yinglan, sitting at the head of the table, suddenly spoke up: "What are you trying to do now? Haven't you caused enough trouble outside? Let go of me right now!"

The wealthy young master looked at Prince Yinglan in disbelief: "Uncle! He's the person I told you about before! He humiliated me, how could you—"

"Shut your mouth!" King Yinglan roared furiously.

"Uncle... Ah!" The rich young master cried out in pain, covering his slapped face and looking pitifully at the Prince of Yinglan who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

This rich young master has always been the center of attention, pampered by everyone. But today, his own uncle, who has always doted on him, actually hit him!

"Try talking nonsense again!" King Yinglan said with a gloomy expression.

The wealthy young master's throat tightened, and he instantly fell silent. He knew that Prince Yinglan was truly angry; he understood his uncle. But... why! The wealthy young master felt indignant.

The King of England's slap successfully silenced the surrounding air for several seconds.

"Alright, that's enough. Get out of here now," King Yinglan said in a deep voice.

Having just been slapped, the rich young master naturally dared not disobey again. He glared hatefully at Xu Tian, ​​then turned and ran away under the King of Yinglan's murderous gaze.

Only after the rich young master's figure completely disappeared did the air in the hall, which had been stagnant for some time, begin to move again.

The King of Yinglan smiled somewhat awkwardly at Xu Tian: "It is my fault for failing to properly guide him, which has made you, Lord Xu, laugh at me. My nephew is young and impetuous. Lord Xu, you are of noble character, please give him another chance."

Since even the revered King Yinglan had gone to such lengths, Xu Tian naturally had no reason to continue. Besides, his purpose in coming here wasn't to cause trouble. Now that things had been clarified, Xu Tian nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, I was partly to blame this time. Your nephew is young and impetuous; there are plenty of important figures out there. It's fortunate that it was me this time; if it were next time..."

King Yinglan understood the meaning behind Xu Tian's words and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, this time we are very grateful to Lord Xu. I will remember this favor."

"Your Highness, there's no need for such formality." Xu Tian bowed to Prince Yinglan, and seeing that the matter was settled, he added, "I apologize for the intrusion today; I will not continue..."

"I'm seeing Lord Xu off," King Yinglan said with a bright smile.

The King of Yinglan stopped only when he reached the main gate of the Yinglan Palace.

Because of the woman's presence, Xu Tian traveled by carriage this time. He returned to the carriage with the woman, but before he could even sit down, the woman suddenly knelt before him.

Xu Tian was completely unprepared for this turn of events. He was slightly taken aback when the woman burst into tears and stammered, "Thank you so much for saving me, sir."

“…No need.” Xu Tian was a little embarrassed. “You don’t need to do such a big ceremony. Get up quickly.” He reached out to pull the woman up, but only realized that his behavior was a bit offensive when he was about to touch her.

Xu Tian stopped his outstretched hand just in time. He said, "It's nothing, and besides, I have my own reasons for helping you."

“But you did help me, my lord. If it weren’t for you, I would have been defiled by that scoundrel long ago… My lord, I have no way to repay you. If you are willing, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life.”

Hearing the woman's words, Xu Tian's scalp tingled. What kind of development was this?! He had saved this woman purely out of kindness, and had absolutely no other intentions towards her!

Seeing that Xu Tian suddenly stopped speaking, the woman boldly grabbed one of his legs and pleaded, "I know that I am of lowly status. If you do not think much of me, I would be willing to be a maid."

What a joke! Xu Tian is an official of the imperial court. If she followed him, it would be infinitely better than wandering outside! Ever since Xu Tian rescued her, she had been secretly investigating.

There are countless benefits to being by Xu Tian's side, and more importantly, Xu Tian is also very handsome, so she is willing to serve him.
