Chapter 173 - 171. Don’t Touch My Woman! II

Third person POV

Wei Fang Tan flew across the restaurant and slammed onto the other customer's table by a punch from the newcomer. Seeing that the situation wasn't that good yet curious of how the fight would turn out, the musicians and customers scurried behind the restaurant door and peeked inside.

Wei Fang Tan groaned and spitted out a tooth and blood. He angrily stood up and attacked back without caring who punched him. But since he didn't seriously develop his magic, his attack was dispersed just by a swipe by the newcomer.

Meiyun slowly looked up to the man and saw a familiar face.

Meiyun: 'Ge-general Di…'

Meiyun dazedly stared at Di Shang and turned her gaze away from guilt. If he was here right now, that meant he saw her kissing Wei Fang Tan while he groping her. Wei Fang Tan was vexed because none of his attacks managed to give Di Shang even a scratch.

Wei Fang Tan: "Who the f*ck are you?! Do you know who Ben Gongzi is?!"

Wei Fang Tan proudly pounded his chest to show his dominance yet his panting destroyed the image that he hoped to show. Di Shang growled viciously, his face was black as ink, even Meiyun didn't dare to say a word right now.

There was a saying, the gentler a person was, the scarier they would get when they were angry which is true.

Di Shang: "Who cares who the f*ck you are. The moment you touches my woman, you are dead."

Di Shang summoned his Guan Dao and was about to attack Wei Fang Tan when Qiyi blocked his attack with his sword. Although Qiyi wanted to kill Wei Fang Tan too, he couldn't do that as he received mission from Weisheng to investigate Wei Fang Tan, not to kill him. Therefore he had to keep Wei Fang Tan alive at any cost.

Di Shang: "Move."

Di Shang snapped at Qiyi. Not only Qiyi was blocking him from killing Wei Fang Tan, he was also his love rival. Knowing the tension between them grew tenser, he released Meiyun and gently pushed her to the side.

Di Shang: "Don't come near."

Di Shang didn't want Meiyun got hurt from his fight with Qiyi but he forgot that Meiyun was also a great fighter. After he ensured Meiyun was standing at a safe distance, he swung his Guan Dao at Qiyi mercilessly.

Qiyi blocked his attack once again with his thin sword. Now he knew why Di Shang was granted with General title at such a young age. Even though Di Shang's attack speed couldn't compare to his, the strength that Di Shang put in his every attack is very heavy.

Since Qiyi was originally trained like an assassin, he focused on his speed and agility so he could kill his target in just one shot. Therefore, he took a step back everytime Di Shang's Guan Dao landed on his sword.

Wei Fang Tan had long been restrained by Huayun and Qier and for now he was unconscious from being hit on his acupuncture point. After quite a while, Qiyi's hand began to tremble and his grip on his sword started to loosen.

Seeing his chance, Di Shang used his full power to swing his Guan Dao vertically. But he immediately stopped his Guan Dao from hitting Meiyun who suddenly appeared between Qiyi and him. She firmly looked at Di Shang in the eyes, showing that she is serious at the moment.

Di Shang retracted his Guan Dao and stared back at her. His heart felt like it was pierced by a sword. He never expected that Meiyun would risk her life just to save her unrequited love. He turned around and walked away with his shoulder slumped down. Meiyun could see his extremely pained face and guilt hit her like a truck.

Qiyi stared at Meiyun whose back was facing him. He was distracted by her exposed nape then his eyes slowly landed on a long scar on her back. Without looking back at him, Meiyun spoke with serious tone.

Meiyun: "Take Wei Fang Tan away and go. I will handle him."

Qiyi: "How can I leave you with him?"

Di Shang who hasn't walked that far away got annoyed by Qiyi's remark. He only walked away to take his tunic that fell off Meiyun's shoulder when she ran at full speed. He stomped his way back to them and glared menacingly at Qiyi.

He averted his eyes to Meiyun and sighed helplessly. He gently dr.a.p.ed his tunic on her shoulder.

Di Shang: "At least cover yourself."

Meiyun: "E-en."

But suddenly her wrist was pulled by Qiyi. Di Shang frowned and smacked Qiyi's hand really hard. He quickly pulled Meiyun to his embrace as he growled at Qiyi for not touching his Meiyun. But Qiyi didn't back down.

Qiyi: "Don't touch her like she is yours."

Qiyi took her wrist again but she couldn't move an inch from Di Shang's embrace.

Di Shang: "Who are you to her? She is not yours too."

Di Shang rebuked and carried Meiyun in bridal style. He was quickly stopped by Qiyi when he almost walked away with Meiyun in his arms.

Qiyi: "Put her down."

Di Shang didn't reply to him.

Qiyi: "I will bring her back to the palace. Mind your own business."

Di Shang's face turned darker as he scrutinized Qiyi.

Di Shang: "She is my woman. Her business is my business. And it is my responsibility to protect my woman."

Di Shang coolly left the restaurant and used his qinggong to jump from roof to roof rather than using the perfectly made road. Huayun and the Qi brother also left the restaurant after dismissed the crowd and searched for evidence of Wei Fang Tan's crime.

Qier glanced at the dazed Qiyi and felt quite sad for his brother. After he took a closer look at Qiyi for a few weeks, he noticed that Qiyi had romantic feelings toward Meiyun even Qiyi himself may not notice it.

So he asked Huayun a question regarding Meiyun's disguise and her relationship with Di Shang. As far as he know, Meiyun had a crush on Qiyi for quite a time so why the sudden she had such a intimate relationship with Di Shang.

Qier: "Huayun, what is Meiyun's relationship with General Di?"

Huayun expected this question sooner or later would be asked by one of the Qi brothers. She purposely said it out loud so Qiyi could also hear her because she was too lazy to explain it twice.

Huayun: "We were attacked on the second day of our departure from Da Chu. Then two group of unknown assassins approached our entourage. I stayed by Her Majesty Empress side and Meiyun went to fight the ambusher. But they got something up their sleeve and she was heavily injured.

Fortunately, the location was near to General Di's post so he made it in time to save her life. I don't know what happened to both of them but when she caught up to our entourage, her relationship with General Di improved like a lot. I just let her do what she wants."

However Qiyi was not satisfied with Huayun's half-hearted explanation.

Qiyi: "Meiyun is very friendly and know no boundaries even to opposite s.e.x. However as her sister, you should look over her. To dress up as a p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.e, she should think twice before she acts."

Huayun scoffed and gave Qiyi a death stare.

Huayun: "No wonder she chooses him over you." (Him= Di Shang.)

Qiyi's brow twitched in annoyance.

Qiyi: "What has this got to do with him?"

Huayun: "Everything."

Huayun clenched her hand.

Huayun: "You knew that she loves you but you choose to throw her feeling away like it is a piece of garbage! She used her own body to protect you but have you ever cared about her?! I always scold her for not being so reckless and blinded by her love, yet she only smiled with those pale lips and begged me to not make anything difficult for you!

Since she never asked anything from me, I listened to her for the hundredth time. She is my sister! I care about her! If you are not Qier's brother, I would have killed you long ago!"
