After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Listen to the other person's tone.

Yan Yun didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Yun Yi and the two guards immediately ordered, "You two stay and watch the young lady leave. I'll go down."

The two guards immediately came over and surrounded Yan Yun.

Yun Yi was unaware of this event and now had no choice but to leave. He said to Yan Yun, "We'll have to see each other again next time."

Fortunately, we can see each other much more often now that we're in Yuanjing. If Yan Yun doesn't come, I can go find her myself; even a simple meeting would be great.

I wish we could say goodbye like this.

Before leaving, Yun Yi lectured Yan Yun: "In the future, you must never act so impulsively again."

The men who came to arrest him happened to be facing Yun Yi, who was coming down from above.

Yun Yi explained softly to the person who came that he had accidentally hit the young master of the Shi family after a slip of the wrist, and he would go down to apologize.

"I think it hit someone. Let's go take a look."

The two henchmen didn't recognize him and reached out to grab Yun Yi, but Yun Yi pushed them away with a single palm strike.

"I'll go by myself."

Because Yun Yi came forward to admit it, those two guys didn't go any further and cause trouble for Yan Yun.

The two attendants beside Yan Yun glanced down at the sound and whispered, "Isn't that the son of the Censor-in-Chief Shi?"

Thinking of the people below who had just been hit, I had to get the young lady out of here as soon as possible.

"Miss, we should return to the Zheng residence as soon as possible."

Yan Yun still opened the window to look out, because she heard Yun Yi's voice.

Yun Yi was pushed in front of Shi Yunjun by the two men as if he were being escorted.

Yun Yi was very polite to the person who had been hit by Yan Yun: "Young Master Shi, it's been a long time."

The other party didn't even glance at Yun Yi's greeting, and immediately ordered his men who brought him down to cut off his hand.

The two henchmen exchanged a glance, and after some hesitation, drew their knives.

Yun Yi remained completely calm and instead addressed Shi Yunjun, saying, "Young Master Shi, shouldn't you at least know who I am before you make a move?"

Shi Yunjun stared at the woman on the ground and said, "No matter who you are, you blind fool should be taught a lesson."

Before he could finish speaking, he realized the voice sounded familiar. He looked in the direction of the voice and didn't say anything harsh.

"Oh it's you?"

He was familiar with Yun Yi and ordered his men to stop.

He naturally knew Yun Yi, but he looked down on him and didn't give Yun Yi a proper look. The guy who wanted to become a military officer ended up in the Secretariat, which was a good position. He spent all day facing those books, which was excellent for self-cultivation.

He looked at the bamboo pole on the ground: "Did you drop it and hit me? Did you do it on purpose?"

Yunyi explained.

“I was having tea upstairs when I heard the commotion downstairs, so I opened the window. The bamboo pole fell unexpectedly and hit Young Master Shi. I am very sorry, so I came here in person to apologize.”

Shi Yunjun looked at Yun Yi, but didn't feel that there was any apology in his words.

Unfortunately, there's no reason for me to clash with this guy right now.

He glanced at the woman kneeling beside the old man and said coldly, "Get up right now and follow me."

The woman immediately pleaded with Yun Yi for mercy.

"Young master, please save my father."

Yun Yi ignored her pleas.

Because Shi Yunjun was watching Yun Yi's every move, if Yun Yi spoke up, he would naturally have a way to deal with him.

Although Yun Yi was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to get involved now. "Since this is Young Master Shi's family matter, we outsiders will naturally not interfere."

Shi Yunjun snorted coldly.

It's good to know.

Yan Yun was still preparing to watch.

She noticed that Shi Yunjun suddenly looked up.

Yan Yun immediately closed the window.

Downstairs, Yun Yi didn't want to continue the conversation. "I have an appointment to meet with Lord Li, so I'll take my leave now."

Shi Yunjun raised his hand.

"If you want to leave, then leave."

After he spoke, Yun Yi turned and left.

Shi Yunjun jumped off his horse, picked up a bamboo pole from the ground, and kicked it at Yun Yi's back. Yun Yi dodged, and the bamboo pole naturally missed him, but landed in front of him.

The other party is deliberately provoking us.

Shi Yunjun stared at Yun Yi: "This damn horse isn't standing properly, it made me stumble."

Yun Yi showed no anger whatsoever, nor did he turn around.

Shi Yunjun grinned and laughed behind his back.

That guy didn't dare utter a single word.

He reached out and grabbed the woman's hair, pulling her close to him. He said viciously, "I'm still here, and you're already flirting with other women. You really are a restless slut."

He looked at his beloved horse, then at the woman.

“You stand here.”

He helped the woman stand behind his horse, then raised his whip and lashed the horse's belly. Startled, the horse, still holding onto the reins, suddenly kicked backward.

The woman couldn't dodge in time.

He was kicked more than ten meters away by the horse.

Yan Yunhe and his entourage came out just then.

The woman fell right in front of Yan Yun, spitting out blood and collapsing to the ground.

Yan Yun looked at the woman on the ground, while his attendant whispered a reminder to him.

The perpetrator's father was a high-ranking official in the Censorate; it would have been better for him to walk past.

"Miss, please come this way."

The woman, clinging to her last breath, pleaded for help in Yan Yun's direction.

"Miss, please help me."

The attendants appeared and stood in front of Yan Yun, separating him from the woman.

"Miss, this way."

The woman's cries for help went unanswered, and the ground was covered in crimson, with bloodstains everywhere.

Yan Yun looked at her and met her lifeless eyes. His heart was instantly moved. Seeing her in this state, Yan Yun did not hesitate to walk towards her.

Yun Yi immediately signaled the two guards to take action.

The guards naturally dared not.

Yun Yi gritted his teeth; he couldn't pretend not to know her anymore. He quickened his pace from the side and grabbed Yan Yun's shoulder.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is not something we should get involved in."

Yan Yun's face also showed the same despair as he saw the other person's misery and felt a sense of empathy.

She raised her hand, about to point at the woman on the ground.

Yunyi apologized.

"excuse me."

Yun Yi picked up Yan Yun and started walking quickly.

The attendants were relieved that Yun Yi had arrived, and they immediately followed closely behind, taking Yan Yun away.

The woman lost all hope, but she was still unwilling to give up. She crawled forward for more than ten meters, calling for help, but everyone around her avoided her.

Yan Yun tapped Yun Yi's back, but the light tap had no effect on him.

"cloud…"

Yun Yi covered Yan Yun's mouth and helped him onto the carriage that his attendants had brought.

They boarded the carriage together.

He did not release his grip on Yan Yun's hand.

Yan Yun looked at him. In such a short time, had he become so cold-blooded? He remembered the boy who once swarmed around three people and vowed to wipe out those bandits. Now, he watched those weak women die right in front of him without doing anything. Was he really still the same person?

Or are people in this world just inherently cold-blooded?

He saw the confusion and disappointment in Yan Yun's eyes.

Yun Yi was also experiencing a mix of emotions.

In his youth, he was full of ambition and high spirits, but now, he has no say in anything. Every step he takes has to be carefully considered. He is afraid that if he takes a step, he will never be able to turn things around. How can he not feel tired?

The things you hope to do often turn out contrary to your wishes.

But right now, he can only protect Yan Yun in front of him.

Unaware of Yun Yi's state of mind, Yan Yun pushed his hand away.

Yun Yi still stopped her, preventing her from going back again.

Yun Yi comforted her, "I'll go back after I take you home."

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Zheng Yuan, he ordered two attendants to escort Yan Yun back. Yan Yun was angry and went straight into the mansion without saying goodbye.

The attendants followed behind and thanked Yun Yi.

As for what happened today, the attendant naturally told Zheng Jihua everything.

Zheng Jihua never expected that his daughter knew someone in Yuanjing.

He didn't know Yun Yi at all before, but because of Yan Yun, he now needs to be careful.

"Send someone to investigate their background and see if they can be of use to us."

Upon hearing that Yan Yun had thrown something at Shi Yunjun, Zheng Jihua burst into laughter. His daughter was indeed bold, but there was no need to fear the Shi family.

"In a few days, it will be Ning'er's twelfth birthday. Let's invite the guests to our residence for a gathering."

Although it was just a pretext.

However, Yan Yun is indeed already twelve years old.

"My daughter seems to be growing up much faster."
