Yuwen Tong looked at the soldiers of the Prefecture Guard with cold eyes. ‘They are just like a group of unorganized and undisciplined people. Are they the Prefecture Guard of Tanyang? Their behavior has dishonored the name of Great Yue.’

He addressed Zhang Chong by name. His harsh tone made the people present felt very surprised. The patrols, half-angry and half-fearful, demanded in a loud voice, “Who are you? What’s your name?”

Many people in black came down from the sky and landed around Ling Zhang, trying obviously to protect Ling Zhang.

“You guys don’t deserve to know,” one of the men in black said ironically. Then he took out a token and showed it to the patrol leader of the patrols.

The sight of others was blocked, so no one except the patrol leader saw the token. However, the patrol leader’s face turned pale immediately, which led others to guess a thing or two about the identity of the man.

Legs shaking, the patrols lead knelt on the ground. He said with a pale face, “My lord, please forgive my blindness. I don’t know you are...”

“Shut up!” Before the patrol leader said it, the leader of those men in black stopped him angrily.

The patrol leader lowered his head.

The soldiers behind him looked at each other in consternation. Finally, they all put away their weapons and dropped to their knees.

Such a scene made the farmers who were now freed became overwhelmed. They didn’t know if they should kneel down, too.

Everyone present could tell that the group of people who suddenly appeared were by no means ordinary, especially the tall man with an imposing temperament.

No one dared to speak at that moment. It was utterly quiet.

Ling Zhang took a step back quietly. He gasped as he looked at this scene. There was a ridiculous thought in his mind. Although he tried his best to tell himself that this was impossible, the thought wasn’t dissipated but became more and more intense.

He had fantasized many times of meeting Yuwen Tong for the first time when he would beat Yuwen Tong up and ridicule him.

But when he really saw Yuwen Tong in person, he couldn’t help but shudder. That scene which once happened in his dream constantly flashed in his mind, giving him an illusion that if he didn’t escape now, he would be in trouble later.

Yuwen Tong had a keen sense of hearing, so he obviously heard the sound of Ling Zhang’s retreat.

He raised his eyebrow and turned back briskly out of the curiosity to see this young master of Ling Family.

Damn! Yuwen Tong’s action caught Ling Zhang completely off-guard. Ling Zhang was scared that his heart skipped a beat.

At first glance, he saw Yuwen Shuo’s narrow, eagle-like eyes, which were sharp and calm. These were obviously different from the eyes in Ling Zhang’s dreams, but somehow made his scalp numb. An unshakable premonition told him that this person was the one in his dream -Yuwen Tong. “I am coming to find you.” The words that once appeared in his dream resounded so clearly in Ling Zhang’s mind at the moment that he couldn’t even move a step.

On the contrary, Yuwen Tong found himself utterly captivated by Ling Zhang's appearance at the first glimpse, not because of how breathtakingly gorgeous he was, but because his face held a strange and special kind of appeal. What a handsome man he was: huge, round eyes, which stared back at him in surprise; a sharp and chiseled nose which was in just the right length; lips of perfect thickness and width; perfectly sculpted face with a chiseled jawline; ears of beautiful shape and outlines. Even his temperament attracted Yuwen Tong deeply. This perfect man was to Yuwen Tong’s liking, which brightened his eyes.

“You are Ling Zhang,” Yuwen Tong said.

Subtle Enmity from Ling Zhang.
