He really is the Xiao Family’s Young Lord. Even with his gentle tone,his words carried a heavy weight. Even Luo Yun was unable to restrain theemotions that showed on his face.
These past few days, he had watched Feng Ming’s gentle and carefreemanner. Even when he gave him the cold shoulder or scoffed at him, Feng Mingwould just smile in response. However, at this moment, as the Young Lord, FengMing really did have the authority to dismiss anyone. If the Old Master did notpersonally object, who would dare question a command from the Young Lord?
Even Luo Yun felt scared thinking about it, let alone Ran Qing.
Getting kicked out of the Family is the one thing they were most afraidof. Ran Qing’s whole face turned pale, and he quickly took out his sword andplaced it on the deck.
Glancing at him, Feng Ming could see his trembling hand as he let go ofthe sword. He was suddenly reminded that Ran Qing had been hit by a laced arrowduring the sneak attack. The arrow didn’t hit a vital point, however it wouldstill cause some effect on Ran Qing. Standing behind Feng Ming during theconfrontation with He DI, he was probably leaning on the sword for support theentire time.
Feng Ming’s heart couldn’t bear it. Silently, he brought his hand to hismouth.
Rong Hu had watched him improve his reputation, if Feng Ming were to goback on his word now, all the prestige he had built up would disappear. Eventhough Ran Qing truly was pitiful, 10 days will pass by in a blink. Rightbefore Feng Ming could open his mouth, Rong Hu cut him off, saying, “Duke Ming,you should get on a boat now.”
Feng Ming snapped back to attention with an “Oh!”Then he spoke to Luo Yun, “I will leave RanQing’s weapons for you to hold temporarily. After 10 days have passed, returnthem to him.” With a heavy heart, he turned around and led everyone to the awaitingboat provided by He Di.

The first to rush over when they came ashore were the three maids thathad earlier escaped. Their faces were pale and tears ran down like rain.
Feng Ming was circled by them as they hugged and cried. Just moments agohe had looked very dignified, but merely a few minutes later, his image hadcrumbled, replaced by embarrassing words of coaxing. “It all looked dangerous,but it really wasn’t that bad. There was danger, but we were not separatedforever…”
In fact, the road was about to end for them. If He Di’s fleet had notstrangely ceased attacking at that time…
He hadn’t finished calming the three sisters when two people withtowering heights came over wailing loudly,
“Duke Ming! Duke Ming! Are youalright? You really are okay, right?”
LZL: “Aiya! Aiya! It’s good that you are safe. If you really died, BigBrother would skin me alive!”
LD: “No, it’s me he would skin alive!”
LZL: “Why your skin? It’s my skin he would!”
The tender sentiments and tears the three maids had suddenly wereinterrupted by these two idiots who couldn’t read the mood. Two giant moronswho mess everything up. Chiu Xing wiped away her tears and yelled, “Lie ZhongShi! Lie Dou! I’ll rip off both of your skins!”
“Why??”
In an extremely earnest manner, Lie Zhong Shi asked, “Duke Ming looksfine. Not even a finger is missing, so why do you want to peel off our skin?”
Standing on the side, Chiu Yue surprisingly paid no attention to thequarrel. Seeing that Feng Ming was safe and sound, her eyes landed on someonebehind him.
Chiu Lan, however, was different. Irritated by him, she stabbed herfinger ruthlessly into the thick-headed Lie Zhong Shi’s shoulder. “You are notallowed to curse Duke Ming. If you keep speaking nonsense, I will ask the king,no, I’ll ask the Prime Minister to punish you severely!”
“Don’t! Don’t! Please don’t ask Big Brother to punish me!”
While Lie Zhong Shi was making a futile effort to protest, Lie Douapproached Feng Ming and asked Chiu Lan, “Why did you bully my master?”
Taking advantage of their quarrelling, Feng Ming quickly escaped fromthe chaotic scene. Inside, he was crying out, so lucky!
Rushing away from his precious aids, he appeared in front of the XiaoFamily’s leader, Luo Ning. Maintaining his stoic face, Luo Ning coldly said, “Isee that Young Lord is unharmed. This subordinate is relieved.”
“Leader Luo, I…”
“Duke Ming!”
Suddenly, he heard a very familiar voice calling out for him.
