Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 421 Yun Han's Grievance

Ning Xuan untied the red ribbon tied in front of his eyes and reached out to lift his lowered head.

"You look so upset, are you feeling wronged?"

"Yun Han dares not." He was forced to tilt his head back, his long neck stiffened involuntarily, stretching out the beautiful lines of his neck, his Adam's apple bobbing, and his amber pupils shimmering.

These words, uttered from his lips, seemed to be covered by a thin layer of frost. When the box was opened, Yun Han adjusted from a kneeling position to a kneeling standing position, still maintaining impeccable demeanor. His hands were bound behind his back with a red silk ribbon, and the sharp contours of his broad shoulders and narrow waist, as well as his beautiful muscles and bones, could be vaguely seen under his scarlet semi-transparent clothes.

Ning Xuan pinched his chin, forcing him to look into her eyes. Yun Han was forced to look into Ning Xuan's eyes, and after a moment, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the side.

This silent resistance made Ning Xuan scoff.

The red ribbon that Ning Xuan had just removed hung down on Yun Han's collarbone, making his pale skin even more dazzling.

Ning Xuan's thumb traced his lower lip, while her other fingers caressed his cheek. "You don't dare? Yun Han, even if you feel wronged, there's nothing wrong with that. But you also need to know who made you suffer this injustice?"

"Yun Han knows, Yun Han is aware of the sins I bear, and all of this is what I deserve," Yun Han replied, his eyes lowered and his tone slightly cold.

"Then what are you complaining about? What are you being so stubborn about? You look so unconvinced." Ning Xuan asked, frowning as she looked at Yun Han.

"Patriarch, I sent you a message before the contract ceremony. Since you want to establish a family and develop your power, you should seize all the power you can control. I have already persuaded my father and mother that as long as you give me the identity of a contractor, Seven Star Divine Mountain is willing to serve you. Isn't this sincerity enough? Seven Star Divine Mountain is stronger than Five Maple City. I don't understand, is humiliating me more important than increasing our strength?" Yun Han suddenly lifted his eyelids and asked Ning Xuan with a dark look in his eyes.

“You talk about sincerity, but your father bribed assassins from the Slaughter Pavilion to kill me. Luckily, I was tough and survived. It was my fate to live. If your father hadn’t been merciful and spared my life, how could I still act as if nothing had happened and associate with them? Wouldn’t that be telling the world that even if they wanted to kill me, I could still forgive them? Tell me, if you were in my shoes, would you do that?” Ning Xuan released her grip, stood up straight, and turned her back to Yun Han.

Ning Xuan's interrogation made Yun Han's face turn pale. He understood Ning Xuan's meaning. With his father sending assassins to kill Ning Xuan, he would never be able to get Ning Xuan's kindness in public.

Fifteen days ago, he received a notice that Ning Xuan would be holding a contract ceremony with Yu Mingche, and that he would be meeting his master and other contracted partners as a contracted slave.

In the past, when his status was not yet determined, although he was a contracted slave, his status and position were still extraordinary. Apart from Yu Mingche and Ying Yaoshi, no one else dared to act presumptuously in front of him.

He only needs to be obedient in front of Ning Xuan. But once his identity is confirmed, how will he ever be able to hold his head high in front of others, in front of the world?

Just as Yun Han was feeling troubled, his parents came to his door and said that as long as Ning Xuan made Yun Han a contractor, the Seven Star Divine Mountain could obey Ning Xuan's orders in the future.

Yun Han breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his parents' statements. He had originally thought that Ning Xuan liked him to some extent and, seeing the sincerity of Seven Star Divine Mountain, would agree to the conditions.

Unexpectedly, he never received a reply from Ning Xuan. In fact, ten days before the contract ceremony, he was taken away by the Controller Protection Association to be taught some etiquette that should be observed during the ceremony.

"I can't answer that. You mentioned the strength of your Seven Star Divine Mountain. I remember that when your mother begged me to treat your illness, she not only beat your father severely but also made me a promise that she would use the power of the entire clan to do something for me. This entire clan includes Seven Star Divine Mountain and the Zhu family. I haven't fulfilled that promise yet." Ning Xuan narrowed her eyes and suddenly said.

“Since Mother has made a promise, she will certainly keep it. Please feel free to ask for anything,” Yun Han said.

“Nothing’s wrong for now, but you’ve been contacting them in secret again, so blatantly. It’s clear that your punishments in the past have been too lenient. Also, you’ve forgotten your place in the army. You might as well not go to the army at all. How about we send you to the reformatory to learn some rules? I remember there’s still a lot of stuff in that thick book that you haven’t learned yet.” Ning Xuan placed her hand on Yun Han’s head, her fingers running through his hair.

Yun Han felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Ning Xuan's words. He suddenly realized that while he could normally command the army and maintain his authority and prestige as before, all of this was actually Ning Xuan's favor, which she could take back at any time.

"Master, please calm down. Yun Han knows he was wrong. Please, give Yun Han another chance." Yun Han's voice trembled noticeably. He put his hands on Ning Xuan's waist, slowly got up, and buried his head in her arms.

"You don't want to go to the reformatory? You dare to disobey orders?" Ning Xuan asked, looking down at Yun Han.

"Yun Han dares not, Patriarch. Yun Han is willing to accept any punishment you give, but I cannot leave your side."

“I received a message from Ying Shuai, saying that I, Lan Xin, and Di Youlin should take turns guarding you for a year, and we must not let our guard down. He seems to think that someone might be plotting against you,” Yun Han said.

“I can’t tolerate people who don’t follow the rules around me.” Ning Xuan glanced at him.

“Patriarch, I follow the rules. I just didn’t quite understand before. You know I’m very obedient.” Yun Han subtly pulled Ning Xuan’s hand to his face.

Ning Xuan looked at him and couldn't help but recall how Yun Han used to be by her side. Back then, he was indeed very obedient.
