Nangong Tuo finally managed to get Yun Tianmo to step aside and immediately rushed towards Ouyang Zixin.
"Miss Situ, why go through all this? We have no grievances, can't you just let me go?" Ouyang Zixin was highly perceptive; as soon as Nangong Tuo moved, she had already heard him.
Even though she felt her words were quite melodramatic, Ouyang Zixin didn't mind making herself a bit nauseous for the sake of putting on a good show.
Sure enough, Sito Rongyan had no idea that the man she admired was nearby and would soon appear. Her sole focus was to teach Ouyang Zixin, this demoness, a lesson.
"Ouyang Zixin, you demoness, don't try to persuade me anymore. Last time you escaped, this time I will definitely not let you go! Prepare to die!" Sito Rongyan had completely lost her rationality at this point and could not hear Ouyang Zixin's pleas for mercy.
Here it comes.
Ouyang Zixin looked aggrieved, her eyes brimming with tears, biting her red lips tightly as she choked out, "Miss Situ, why do this? What benefit is there for you if I die?"
"Hahaha, your death would benefit me greatly! At least you won't cling to the Third Prince anymore! Tell me, how much good would your death do for me?" Sito Rongyan seemed to have lost her mind, ignoring the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast entirely as her soft whip whipped through the air with great force.
"Stop! You wicked woman, how can your heart be so cruel!" Nangong Tuo's voice rang out just in time as he and his six companions approached.
At Nangong Tuo's signal, the royal guards behind him stepped forward to block Sito Rongyan's attendants.
"Third Prince, how could you..." Sito Rongyan was completely caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
"Miss Ouyang, are you alright?" Nangong Tuo ignored Sito Rongyan entirely and looked at Ouyang Zixin with concern.
"Third Prince... I..." Ouyang Zixin appeared on the verge of tears, her slightly reddened eyes filled with unshed tears that she stubbornly refused to let fall.
Faced with Ouyang Zixin's hesitation and recalling the malicious words he had heard along the way, Nangong Tuo had already sentenced Sito Rongyan to death in his mind.
What about the youngest daughter of Situ Manor? A mere Situ Manor, and Nangong Tuo doesn't even take it seriously.
"Miss Situ, is it? This Prince never expected that Lingchi Peak would become a place for you to show off your ruthlessness. Bringing five fierce guards to bully three young ladies, when did our Exiled Nation's noblewomen become so pathetic?" Nangong Tuo's tone was quite unfriendly, showing no respect for Sito Rongyan.
Currently, Nangong Tuo was only thinking about the woman he admired—Ouyang Zixin. What did Sito Rongyan matter to him?
Ouyang Zixin sniffled, her voice soft and gentle, "Third Prince, please don’t blame Miss Situ. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have stopped her..."
Hearing Ouyang Zixin's voice almost on the verge of tears made Nangong Tuo feel even more pity for her. He quickly interrupted her and said gently, "Miss Ouyang, I understand her words clearly; you don’t need to speak for her. Do you know she intends to put you in danger?"
At this moment, Sito Rongyan was completely dumbfounded. When did she become the malicious woman in the eyes of the Third Prince? And why did the Third Prince refer to her as Miss Situ while calling Ouyang Zixin Miss Ouyang?
The title of "Miss" was merely a formality, and the way he addressed Miss Ouyang had already shattered Sito Rongyan's heart.
"Could it be that the rumors... are all true?" Sito Rongyan murmured in despair.
Although the guards of Situ Manor were not weak, they dared not act recklessly in front of the royal guards. They initially exchanged a few blows but gradually retreated from the fight, moving back behind Sito Rongyan.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu were initially pleased to see reinforcements but were shocked to find that it was Third Prince Nangong Tuo who had come. So where was the Cloudy Sky Ink King?
"Miss Situ, this training was personally arranged by my father. Is it really meant to be used by someone as malicious as you?" Nangong Tuo snorted coldly. "If I hadn’t heard before that Miss Situ was making things difficult for Miss Ouyang, I would have thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
At this moment, Ouyang Zixin remained silent, quietly playing the role of a kind-hearted girl being bullied.
"No, it's not like that, Third Prince. You misunderstand me," Sito Rongyan wanted to step forward to explain, but unfortunately, her soft whip fell to the ground with a loud crack, startling her into dropping it.
"Misunderstanding? This Prince saw it with his own eyes; how could there be a misunderstanding?!" Although Nangong Tuo usually appeared carefree and unrestrained, when he took on his royal identity, his noble aura was not to be underestimated.
Sito Rongyan wanted to explain but found that Third Prince completely ignored her.
At this point, she could no longer deny that Ouyang Zixin must have known that the Third Prince was nearby, so she had dug a pit for herself to jump into.
"Ouyang Zixin! You demoness, you have framed me!" Sito Rongyan, having been seen through by the one he admired, was nearly driven mad. He held his head in his hands and laughed wildly, "You truly are a demoness! Hahaha... even the Third Prince has been deceived by you. You harmed me; it was you who harmed me."
Ouyang Zixin secretly laughed in her heart but did not show it on her face. She timidly shrank back and did not refute him.
Nangong Tuo, witnessing this, felt that Sito Rongyan was being unreasonable and bullying Ouyang Zixin while trying to smear her reputation.
The three parties had already ceased their actions, and the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast had long since disappeared without a trace.
Nangong Tuo sternly reprimanded Sito Rongyan, completely unaware that Ouyang Zixin's thoughts had already wandered far away.
Mysterious Energy extended out and sensed for a while. Ouyang Zixin discovered that the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was actually running toward Yun Tianmo, and she suddenly felt that the Mystical Beast was indeed one that sought out a strong backing.
Yun Tianmo found it somewhat amusing that the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast had come to "seek refuge" with him. At first, it wanted to offer the Purple-Eyed Beast to him but was forced to pass it on to Ouyang Zixin instead. He never expected that at this moment, it would still remember to follow his aura.
He kicked the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast away; Yun Tianmo did not need any Summoned Beasts. Having such a Mystical Beast around would only be a nuisance to him.
While Yun Tianmo looked at the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast with disdain, Nangong Tuo cast a similar look of disdain at Sito Rongyan.
"Miss Situ, while this Prince has not yet placed blame on you, it would be best for you to leave immediately! Recognize your own identity! Do not engage in such trivial matters any longer," Nangong Tuo had originally come to rescue Ouyang Zixin and had no desire to get entangled with the youngest daughter of Situ Manor. He impatiently urged her to leave.
