Le Niushang's sudden arrival took everyone by surprise, including Su Chengyu.
And the first direct encounter with Le Niushang showed Su Chengyu the tactics of this woman.
Strike the snake at its vital point.
In just a few breaths after entering the courtyard, Le Niushang had grasped Su Chengyu's most critical weakness.
At a time when Su Chengyu could not speak, Xu Nanzhi played a key role in completely overpowering the three members of the Ancient Clan who came to demand accountability.
And Le Niushang's approach to putting pressure on Xu Nanzhi was almost equivalent to crippling half of Su Chengyu's martial prowess on the spot.
Of course, aside from Le Niushang, others might not have been able to achieve this even if they tried.
At present, Xu Nanzhi's heart is almost solely concerned with Xu Nanzhi, so trying to suppress him is easier said than done.
But for Le Niushang, this task was as simple as turning her hand.
"Truly respectful, worthy of being the Saintess cultivated by the Luo Clan over a hundred years. Su Saint Envoy to have such a beauty, truly a great fortune."
From the moment she entered the courtyard, Le Niushang's evaluations of Xu Nanzhi were all positive, which only increased the pressure on Xu Nanzhi.
Xu Nanzhi is not foolish and clearly understood the intent behind Le Niushang's words.
By elevating her to great heights and binding her to Su Chengyu, the more Le Niushang packaged Xu Nanzhi into an ideal match for Su Chengyu, the more reason she had to keep Su Chengyu further away from Lin An.
Aware of this, Xu Nanzhi took a deep breath, hesitated no further, and responded.
"Princess Consort Chen overpraises, this humble girl was merely fortunate to have crossed paths with Lord Su earlier, with my capabilities... I am hardly worthy of Su..."
Before finishing her sentence, Xu Nanzhi's hand was suddenly grasped.
In surprise, Xu Nanzhi looked up to find Su Chengyu already beside her, lifting her directly from the ground and preventing her from continuing.
Le Niushang watched this scene, smiling, "Why have you stopped?"
Just as Xu Nanzhi was about to speak, Su Chengyu stood in front of her, stopping her from saying more.
Le Niushang, seeing this, showed no anger, only continued to smile, "One willing to sacrifice herself for the other, and the other willing to step forward for the former. I always said I had a keen eye, you two are truly a match made in heaven."
The more Su Chengyu defended Xu Nanzhi, the happier it made Le Niushang. Her purpose today was simple, to completely bond Su Chengyu and Xu Nanzhi together, preventing Xu Nanzhi from putting any ideas on her daughter Lin An.
"Indeed, they are naturally a match made in heaven. My godson paired with such excellent women, all perfectly suitable."
The sudden appearance of a voice in the air instantly drew everyone's attention.
Following Le Niushang, a second uninvited guest appeared, descending directly from the air into the courtyard.
This left Zhao Shijue dumbfounded, he never expected Feng Jie Yu to arrive, let alone in such a manner before everyone.
After all, the Capital City is a no-fly zone, even a short distance , if anyone took it seriously, Feng Jie Yu could be taken to the Dragon Soul Department for questioning, not to mention that her appearance was in a Prince's Mansion.
Le Niushang was not shocked by her arrival, rather filled with dislike.
At this moment, Le Niushang's flawless face showed a slight frown as she said, "Feng Jie Yu, what are you doing here causing trouble?"
Feng Jie Yu, who knew Le Niushang well, sneered, "Oh? You can secure a future husband for your daughter, and I can't come to stand up for my godson?"
With one sentence, Feng Jie Yu directly revealed the purpose hidden in Le Niushang's words, which Le Niushang naturally did not want to admit, and retorted.
"Ridiculous, how can I disrupt such a perfect match when Su Saint Envoy is already accompanied by such a beauty?"
"That's right, after all, my Chengyu can't abandon one beauty for another, heroes have always been sentimental, right, little Chengyu?"
Su Chengyu looked gratefully at Feng Jie Yu, whose high-profile style was quite different from his own, but her words at this moment did help him out of a tight spot.
After all, whether tactfully or directly, those words could not come from Xu Nanzhi's mouth.
At this moment, Le Niushang's face was as dark as could be, looking at Feng Jie Yu unsatisfied, "Do you mean my daughter has to share a husband with this Luo Clan's calamity star?" For original chapters go to NoveIＦire.net
"Why? Is there a problem with that?"
Le Niushang knew Feng Jie Yu was shameless, but she didn't expect her to go to such an extent.
And Feng Jie Yu watched Le Niushang without concern, continuing, "If Zhao Xuanzhen can have a harem of three thousand beauties, why can't my Chengyu do the same?"
Calling the Heavenly Son by name, Feng Jie Yu's bold move shocked everyone present, nearly all of them instinctively shifted their gaze slightly, wishing they had never heard such disrespectful words.
What a joke, the past matters between Zhao Xuanzhen and Feng Jie Yu, even if confidential, were known to some extent by everyone present.
Reporting it might end up backfiring.
The best outcome now was to pretend one knew nothing.
"Feng Jie Yu, how dare you, what right does this fellow have to be compared to Your Majesty!"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between clenched teeth, filled with hatred.
"Zhao Xuanzhen is the Heavenly Son, he can ignore the law. But my Chengyu is already a Half-step Earth Immortal, Zhao Xuanzhen wouldn't be so blind as to deny him even this bit of privilege, would he? Even thinking of using Tian Heng's name to order my Chengyu around?"
Le Niushang was rendered speechless by Feng Jie Yu's retort. Although she didn't know why Zhao Xuanzhen bestowed the old and honoured title of Tian Heng on Su Chengyu, as Feng Jie Yu said, there must be a purpose for utilizing Su Chengyu.
Not to mention, Le Niushang's presence today was due to noticing Zhao Xuanzhen's apparent intention to betroth Lin An to Su Chengyu, urging her personal involvement.
"Hmm? Why aren't you speaking?"
Feng Jie Yu sneered as she looked at Le Niushang. She was too familiar with this woman, knew what mattered to her, and was well aware of her weaknesses. Most importantly, she might be the least obliged person in the world to give face to this so-called leader of the Red List.
Even in front of Zhao Xuanzhen, she would give no face!
"Fine, even if this kid is indeed qualified to marry Lin An, but as a mother, surely I have the right to voice my opinion?"
"What? You think my godson isn't qualified to marry Lin An?"
"Everything he has was given by Your Majesty, what right does he have!"
"Simply because he is my godson, the son of Splitting Heaven! The only biological grandson of Su Linyuan, a founding hero of Xia Country! Who else but him in Xia Country is qualified?"
