Chapter 1744 -1737: Unstoppable Momentum

Yang Xianhui and her companions entered like an unstoppable force, clad in armor with a vigorous aura.

The armor on them was dazzling, yet it emitted a cold gleam, striking terror into the civil officials and family members present, who had never witnessed such might, causing their legs to tremble instantly.

Especially Miss Liu, who retreated behind her mother in fear, uttering a soft whimper with reddened eyes.

“Don’t be afraid, Miss Liu!” Wen Xiuru stepped up, shielding her, his tall figure like a sturdy wall, ready to protect Miss Liu from the wind and rain.

Miss Liu also gazed at him with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

Wen Xiuru turned back to look at her, his smile gentle and soft.

Yang Xianhui’s eyes stung, her breath caught fiercely.

This was the young man she had loved since childhood.

Now he scorned her for being vulgar, protecting another, so real.

Lin Yu stepped forward first, cupping his hands as he spoke, “We three, upon hearing Lord Wen had just annulled the engagement with his son, only to form another alliance, have come to offer our congratulations on such ingratitude!”

Fu Yuan too said, “Young Master Wen appears in high spirits. Sister Hui is uncertain of her life or death, yet you don’t appear sorrowful in the least. Instead, you rejoice in welcoming a new fiancée!”

She spoke with extreme sarcasm, making everyone present aware that Wen Xiuru was a treacherous scoundrel!

Wen Xiuru, who had studied for many years, felt disgrace and angrily rebuked, “Fu Yuan! Does your Fu family’s standing dare to humiliate me like this? I happen to be a candidate for the imperial examination!”

Though not yet an official, he was indeed someone with status and couldn’t tolerate being disgraced by these women!

“A candidate for the imperial exam? I happen to be the Distant Guard General! Personally appointed by the Crown Prince! Have you seen me salute you?” Yang Xianhui’s voice was booming.

Wen Xiuru was stunned.

He was well-read and naturally knew the rituals and etiquette. Being currently without an official position, he should indeed salute Yang Xianhui!

Wen Xiuru gritted his teeth, swallowing a pang of humiliation within, and slightly bent down, “Greetings, General Yang!”

“And the two beside me.” Yang Xianhui’s voice carried no joy or sadness, only a sense of pressure.

Wen Xiuru flushed with anger, “Yang Xianhui! Do you truly think I fear you? It’s merely considering the years of friendship, giving you a bit of face!”

Fu Yuan and Lin Yu, what are they!?

How could they deserve a bow from the son of the Supreme Court Minister?

“What, does Young Master Wen think we do not deserve it? Or do you belittle this battle armor we wear?” Lin Yu spoke coldly.

Wen Xiuru might look down upon them as women, but he could not look down upon the armor unique to the soldiers of the Great Cheng Dynasty!

Fu Yuan’s eyes were filled with disdain for Wen Xiuru, “If you don’t salute us, His Highness the Crown Prince will know tomorrow!”

Young Master Wen’s ranking in the imperial exams, what was it? Seems like One Hundred Seven in the Second Grade?

And unknown what position he will receive?

Can it be higher than the three of us who competed in the Golden Hall?”

Wen Xiuru’s face flushed red, clenching his teeth, he was naturally nowhere near that high!

Ranked over a hundred in the second grade, the appointed position would inevitably be lower, whereas Yang Xianhui’s… these three…

Despite his frustration, he couldn’t deny that they were genuine first-place winners!

If speaking of rank, he didn’t know how much lower he would be compared to them!

Precisely because of this, he felt humiliated then and insisted on Yang Xianhui resigning and marrying him!

How could a woman possibly hold a higher rank than him?

What an unbearable disgrace that was!

“Xiuru, hurry and salute the three generals!” Lord Wen shouted with a darkened face.

These three harbingers of doom, best to dispatch quickly!

Wen Xiuru gritted his teeth and bowed to Lin Yu and Fu Yuan.

Yang Xianhui promptly placed her box of congratulatory gifts before Wen Xiuru.
