Chapter 88

"Who are you, this lowly commoner, to speak such words?!" Lin Ke suddenly flew into a rage, pointing at Huang Xiaolong and shouting. This lowly commoner had actually dared to call her, her?!

"What did I say? Didn't you hear clearly?" Huang Xiaolong's face was indifferent.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from downstairs, and more than ten guards appeared.

"Miss, what's the matter?" One of the guards stepped forward and asked Lin Ke.

These guards from the Marquis Manor had just been on the first floor and rushed up upon hearing the commotion.

"This lowly commoner actually dared to insult me. Slap him, slap him hard!" Lin Ke pointed at Huang Xiaolong, her eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Knock all his dog teeth out!"

"Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll slap them too!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The dozen or so guards from the Marquis Manor stepped forward, surrounding Huang Xiaolong and his group. One of them raised his hand and struck Huang Xiaolong's face with great force.

The faces of the Huang Family Manor guards changed, and just as they were about to act, a figure flashed past them, moving even faster. The guard who was about to slap Huang Xiaolong let out a惨cry, as if hit by a meteor, and crashed to the ground, rolling down the stairs to the second floor.

A brief silence fell over the area.

The one who acted was Fei Hou.

After the brief silence, the other guards from the Marquis Manor reacted, drawing their swords in anger. Just then, Fei Hou shouted, "Scram!" A wave of sound rolled out, and countless lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere. It was the advanced mystic-level combat technique, Thunder Sound Fall.

The strongest of these Marquis Manor guards were only at the peak of the seventh stage. How could they avoid these thunder sounds? Struck by the thunder, their bodies jolted and they were thrown back, landing on the ground with their bodies charred black, smoke rising from their skin.

"You!" Lin Ke and Lin Guo were shocked.

"Slap him!" Huang Xiaolong's voice was cold.

"Yes, Young Master!" As Fei Hou spoke, five clear red fingerprints appeared on Lin Ke's left cheek.

"You lowly commoners, do you know who I am? How dare you hit me!" Lin Ke was both shocked and angry, looking at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou with hatred, covering her left cheek and shouting.

"Slap him again!" Huang Xiaolong's voice rang out again.

Five more clear red fingerprints appeared on Lin Ke's right cheek, blood trickling from her lips, and a tooth fell out.

Lin Ke looked at the tooth on the ground, her eyes widening in shock, and then she burst into tears, looking at Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the others with hatred, crying and shouting, "You, you actually dared to hit me? You actually dared to hit me! Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of the Marquis Manor! My father is Marquis Lin Xian! I will definitely kill you, these lowly commoners, these dog-like lowly commoners!"

"Slap him again!" Huang Xiaolong said coldly.

"Slap!" Two more slaps, and Lin Ke stepped back. This time, five more clear red fingerprints appeared on both sides of her face, and two more bloody teeth fell out.

"Little sister, don't say anything more, let's go back to the Marquis Manor first!" Lin Guo, who was both shocked and angry, pulled Lin Ke to the side, trying to calm her down. He realized that if she continued to curse, her mouth would be left toothless.

Without waiting for Lin Ke to speak, Lin Guo pulled her and fled down the stairs in a panic.

Huang Xiaolong watched Lin Ke and Lin Guo flee in panic and smiled coldly. He knew that Lin Ke, with her hateful expression, would not let this go. If nothing unexpected happened, they would return to the Marquis Manor and bring a group of experts to confront them again.

The waiter, seeing Lin Ke and Lin Guo flee in panic and the Marquis Manor guards groaning on the ground, was stunned. After a moment, he came to his senses and ran to report to the boss in a panic.

After Lin Ke and Lin Guo left, Huang Xiaolong and his group continued to drink.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo left the tavern and returned to the Marquis Manor shortly after.

Lin Ke had been crying and shouting all the way back to the Marquis Manor. When they arrived at the main hall, Marquis Lin Xian was sitting with a middle-aged man, both of them laughing. The middle-aged man was dressed in military armor, with several shiny badges on his shoulders. He was General Hong Desheng of the Luotong Kingdom.

Lin Ke came in crying, and Lin Xian and Hong Desheng were taken aback, stopping their conversation.

"Ke'er, what happened? Who hurt you?" Lin Xian's face darkened as he saw the blood on his daughter's lips.

"Father, Uncle Hong, you must do something for me!" Lin Ke covered her face and cried, "Just now at the Delicious Grand Tavern, a group of lowly commoners slapped me and knocked out my teeth!"

"Wah, wah, wah!"

"What?!" Lin Xian's face turned dark, his eyes flashing with a cold, murderous intent.

"Did those people have anything unusual about them?" At this moment, Hong Desheng suddenly asked.

Lin Xian and the others were taken aback.

"Hong brother, what do you mean?" Lin Xian asked.

Hong Desheng said, "Do you remember what happened at the Delicious Grand Tavern last year?"

Lin Xian's body suddenly trembled. Last year, Duke Meng Chen and his son Meng Xia had used their military power to injure Marshal Haotian's junior brother. When the marshal arrived, he was so angry that he killed Duke Meng Chen and his son. Although it had been almost a year, how could Lin Xian forget? The place where Duke Meng Chen and his son were killed was the Delicious Grand Tavern.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo also remembered this, their faces turning pale.

"Hong brother, could it be that coincidental?" Lin Xian hesitated.

"Better safe than sorry," Hong Desheng said, turning to Lin Ke and asking, "What did the person who hurt you look like?"

Lin Ke and Lin Guo recalled Fei Hou's appearance and described him in detail. As they spoke, Lin Guo and Hong Desheng's faces grew increasingly serious. When Lin Ke and Lin Guo finished, Hong Desheng's voice was low and grave, "I'm afraid that person is really Marshal Haotian's junior brother, Fei Hou!"

Marshal Haotian's junior brother, Fei Hou!

Lin Ke and Lin Guo's faces turned even paler.

Suddenly, Hong Desheng thought of something and asked urgently, "Was there an old man around seventy years old with Fei Hou?" He then described Marshal Haotian's appearance.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo tried to recall.

However, at the time, Marshal Haotian was sitting with his back to them, so they hadn't seen his face clearly.

"We didn't pay much attention," Lin Ke said. "There were about fifteen of them. Oh, right, there was a child around ten years old, but Fei Hou listened to him and called him Young Master. Could he be...?"

"Huang Xiaolong!" Lin Xian and Hong Desheng blurted out.

Huang Xiaolong!

Lin Ke and Lin Guo's bodies suddenly trembled, almost falling over.

The news of the Sky Star Academy's grade competition had already spread throughout the capital. Huang Xiaolong, with his ancient divine dragon and black dragon martial soul, was no longer a secret. Now, Huang Xiaolong was hailed as the first genius in the history of the Luotong Kingdom.

If that child was Huang Xiaolong, then...! Lin Ke thought about how she had called Huang Xiaolong a dog-like lowly commoner and even ordered the guards to slap him, and her body couldn't help but tremble, as if she had epilepsy.
