Chapter 539: Operation Splitting the Loot 3

As expected of the Empire's greatest Prince.

Watching Li Yaoxiang leave with that group of people, a heavy weight finally lifted from Su Zian's heart. He let out a long sigh.

Wiping his forehead, it was covered in sweat.

Su Zian realized he was still kneeling, a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face. He quickly got up and went to greet Nangong Liuyun, his face wreathed in smiles.

"Thanks to the timely appearance of His Highness Prince Jin, otherwise the Su Manor would have faced a great catastrophe today. I am ashamed, truly ashamed."

Su Zian was overly enthusiastic and excessively fawning.

Being able to infuriate Li Yaoxiang to the point of retreat was enough to prove the strength of His Highness Prince Jin, so Su Zian was very eager to please him.

However, Nangong Liuyun merely glanced at him indifferently with a condescending look, his expression cold. He curled his lips in disdain, "This prince is not interested in the Su Manor."

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Su Zian's eyes. "Then you…"

Seeing Nangong Liuyun's arm tightly around Su Luo's slender waist, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. "This subordinate understands, this subordinate understands."

He originally thought Su Luo was a smelly stone that would bring him shame, but he never expected her to turn out to be a dazzling green jade.

Looking at his other children, who all seemed promising before, none of them now could compare to Su Luo in prominence.

Moreover, it now seemed that His Highness Prince Jin was willing to fall out with the Yaochi Palace for Su Luo, which showed that he was truly fond of this girl.

The more Su Zian thought about it, the happier and more excited he became. His gaze towards Su Luo became increasingly benevolent.

Being stared at with such a gaze made Su Luo's heart pound.

Nangong Liuyun took in Su Zian's completely different attitudes before and after. A wicked smile played on his perfect, angular lips. "If this prince had not appeared, would General Su have sold Luo girl?"

"No, no, Luo Luo is my own daughter. How could this subordinate do such a thing?" Su Zian quickly denied.

"That's good."

Nangong Liuyun pulled Su Luo and walked away. After a few steps, he stopped again and his indifferent voice rang out, "If I ever find out that someone is bullying her in the future, General Su, don't blame this prince for disregarding our relationship."

With that, he glanced at the trembling Su Jingyu, then Nangong Liuyun led Su Luo away at a leisurely pace.

Watching their receding figures, Su Zian finally let out a slow breath.

Li Yaoxiang used force to pressure people, but His Highness Prince Jin's single glance and smile put him under infinitely more pressure than Li Yaoxiang.

"Father! You just let that smelly girl go?"

Only when he could no longer see His Highness Prince Jin's back did Su Jingyu dare to stir up trouble.

Su Zian did not agree with him as he usually would. Instead, he slapped him directly on the head. "Idiot! Don't you see that His Highness Prince Jin sees Su Luo in a different light? Remember this, don't provoke Su Luo again. She is not someone you can afford to provoke! If something happens, don't blame your father for disregarding our relationship!"

"Father! But you also have to understand that the smelly girl has made an enemy of the Li family. They are determined to kill her!" Su Jingyu's face turned red as he stated the fact that Su Zian was trying to avoid.

Su Zian's face alternated between red and pale.

On one side was His Highness Prince Jin.

On the other side was the Li family of Yaochi.

Both sides were very powerful. No matter which one he allied with, it would be absolutely beneficial to the Su Manor.

Su Zian wanted to please His Highness Prince Jin, but he also didn't dare to become an enemy of the Li family of Yaochi. At this moment, he was truly in a dilemma, wavering back and forth.

His intention to be good to Su Luo gradually cooled down…
