Throughout history, kings who like to kill their meritorious officials are not uncommon, but wanting to wipe out an entire elite troop is the first time Iāve seen.
Well, well, Mo Yuanhao.
Yun Wanchen pursed his lips, his whole body exuding a sullen pressure. Yun Wanqing quickly sensed his change, feeling quite puzzled.
[Huh, so strange, why does it feel like big brother suddenly became unhappy?]
[Did someone provoke him?]
[It doesnāt seem like it; these people are all praising me for being cute. I didnāt see anyone provoking him.]
[Could it be because everyone says I look like big brother, so heās unhappy about it? No way, right? Big brother shouldnāt be that petty, should he?]
[I look so good, whatās wrong with looking like him?]
Listening to the soft, puzzled little voice in his mind, Yun Wanchen snapped back to reality, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness, while the turmoil and oppression inside him were completely dispersed by her few words.
Ah, little sisterās perception is truly sharp!
Not a single emotional change can escape her eyes.
"Young Master, hereās a little token of my appreciation prepared for the young lady, please accept it on her behalf."
"This is from me..."
"And me, and me..."
Suddenly, this group of men all took out gifts, eagerly extending their arms to present them. Seeing so many gifts, Yun Wanqing was both surprised and delighted, feeling a bit embarrassed.
[Wow, so many gifts, theyāre all for me.]
[But when they came, they should have all brought gifts already, yet they prepared more presents for me. This is really too extravagant.]
She indeed loves money, but earning it is not easy for these people, all of whom earn it with their lives on the battlefield, and they have families to support.
So, receiving their gifts made Yun Wanqing feel somewhat uneasy deep down.
Looking at the surroundings loaded with gifts, Yun Wanchen said helplessly, "You are all very thoughtful, but Iām holding my little sister and cannot take them all."
"Whatās the problem? Iāll help Young Master hold the young lady so Young Master can focus on taking the gifts."
Lu Wu coughed, immediately handing the gift to a burly man beside him, extending his hands to hold Yun Wanqing.
The man who was forcibly handed the gift was momentarily stunned but quickly came back to his senses, angrily grabbing Lu Wuās arm, thrusting two gifts back into his hands.
"Iāll handle holding the young lady; my son is already four years old, so I have a lot of experience holding children. Unlike you, a bachelor whoās never even touched a childās hand, what if you drop the young lady?"
Lu Wu: "..."
Who are you looking down on?
Heās held women before, how could he not know how to hold a little child?
Even if he fell himself, he would absolutely not let the young lady fall, sheās so adorable; if she were to fall, heād be heartbroken.
Yet, before he could speak, another man stepped up, grasped the brawny guy, and spoke disdainfully.
"Iāll hold the young lady instead; even though you have a lot of experience, you look so frightening. What if you scare the young lady into crying? Or what if she sees you and has nightmares every day?"
Burly Man: "..."
Though heās a bit rugged-looking, is it that serious? Could he really scare the young lady into crying or having nightmares?
Thinking of his thick beard, the man suddenly felt a bit insecure.
Ah, never mind, if he scares the young lady into crying, it would be a huge mistake.
"You stand aside too, let me hold the young lady. You may not look scary and do have experience, but youāre a sneaky type, hiding all sorts of weapons in your clothes. What if by accident the young lady is injured? Sheās precious and delicate, if sheās hurt, weād be heartbroken."
"You two are six of one and half a dozen of the other, neither of you should judge. Heās sneaky, so are you. He hides weapons, you hide poison. Weapons might hurt the young lady by accident, and wouldnāt your poison do the same? No self-awareness at all; move aside, holding the young lady should be my job."
"You, a horse enthusiast, still want to hold the young lady? Arenāt you afraid that horse smell will suffocate her..."
"So what if I love horses? Iām a Cavalry Captain. Cavalry is elite because horses are indispensable. Horses are soldiersā partners in combat. Whatās wrong with loving oneās partner? No wonder you canāt become a Cavalry Captain..."
"..."
In an instant, the sound of bickering filled the air, the noise making oneās head hurt.
A group of men tearing each other down without reservation to get a chance to hold Yun Wanqing, leaving her dumbfounded.
