Li Shuhan's slap was incredibly powerful.

They were very harsh in their criticism.

In an instant, the white swan stumbled.

To everyone's surprise, the white swan, which had been subdued by Ren Tianye and his men, suddenly jumped up.

They practically jumped three feet high!

"Snapped!"

You're fast, but I'm even faster!

If you're ruthless, I'll be even more ruthless!

As a result, Li Shuhan staggered when Bai Hu slapped him back.

This round ended in a draw.

Because Li Shuhan was a woman, no matter how fierce she was, she was still much weaker than Bai Hu in terms of strength. She was obviously aware of this, so in her next attack, she did not choose to conquer with force, but instead knew how to use verbal attacks.

"Bai Hu, have you no shame? Bai Li and I are true love! As the Right Protector of the Tongxin Alliance, how dare you break the law? How dare you try to steal my sister Bai Li from me!"

Bai Hu scoffed, "Our Alliance's motto is 'One heart for love, all under heaven united,' and our secondary motto is 'Love comes from the heart, people unite, where the heart leads, love knows no bounds, everyone dares to love, and there is no suspicion in the world.' My passionate pursuit of Sister Bai Li perfectly aligns with our Alliance's motto. This is true love!"

"We are true love!" Li Shuhan didn't back down an inch, shouting, "We are true love! How much have I done for Bai Li? Even with you, I gave you a production line and helped you rise to the position of Right Protector of the Tongxin Alliance. You promised me you wouldn't try to take Bai Li from me again. You broke your promise! You shameless bastard!"

This was clearly true, but Bai Hu showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he coldly said, "It was nothing more than helping me ascend to the position of Right Protector of the Tongxin Alliance, nothing more than giving me a production line. How could that possibly stop my true love for Sister Bai Li?"

"True love conquers all, true love is eternal!"

……

The two were arguing fiercely, leaving everyone around them completely bewildered.

Ren Tianye, too, felt his head spinning and couldn't quite grasp his state for a moment.

Almost instinctively, she looked at Wang Ming.

Unfortunately, Wang Ming was also completely bewildered.

Thus, the two formed a classic scene.

A confused tree bears confused fruit; beneath the confused tree, you and I!

"Lord Duke..." Wang Ming realized that Ren Tianye was about to ask him a question, so he forced himself to stay alert and said, "Judging from what they said, it seems that Bai Hu and Li Shuhan are engaged."

"But their true love seems to be Madam Bai Li."

"This woman, this is true love too..."

Wang Ming couldn't continue speaking.

Ren Tianye understood.

In fact, he had already realized it subconsciously, but he couldn't accept it for the time being. Now that he was forced to think it through, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Ugh!"

Just now, he thought he had grasped the underlying secrets of this world, and even if the Tongxin Alliance had airplanes and cannons, he dared to gamble that their skills were on cooldown.

But now...

Ren Tianye was somewhat devastated.

Learning has no end!

He's barely gotten anywhere!

I'm still a long way from becoming an expert at identifying people with romantic minds!

You're such a noob!

Fortunately, he had a knife in his hand and men behind him, so he coldly shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

"Is this Kyoto, a place for you to flirt?"

Clang!

The blade is drawn!

Wang Ming had already placed the knife against Li Shuhan's neck.

The blade was sharp, and Li Shuhan immediately shut his mouth.

Seeing that Li Shuhan had lost his means of attack, Bai Hu was overjoyed. This was the perfect opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and he was about to launch a long and surging tirade.

Unfortunately, before she could speak, she met Ren Tianye's eyes.

I immediately remembered Ren Tianye's threat.

—You don't want Bai Li to act like a monster at night, do you?!

So, Baihu swallowed his words back.

He dared not utter another word.

In my heart, I felt a deep sense of regret.

However, Li Shuhan was not very familiar with the affairs of the capital and still had a temper. Even with a blade at his side, he coldly said, "You actually dare to touch me?"

"Hmph, do you even know who I am?"

Li Shuhan said with an arrogant expression, "My Li family is the imperial merchant of Yunjing City. Today, half of the grain shops, salt shops, cloth shops, and silver shops in Yunjing City are owned by my Li family."

"My Li family's mansion is piled high with gold and silver, our estates are scattered throughout the capital region, we have thousands of maids and servants, and our carriages and entourage rival those of princes!"

"Furthermore, he was trusted by His Highness the Prince of Yunjing and appointed as the 'General Director of the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce,' in charge of trade from all directions and access to wealth from all corners of the world!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"You dare hold a knife to my throat?"

"Are you looking for death?!"

Ren Tianye glanced at her and said indifferently, "I am Ren Tianye."

"He was personally granted the title of Duke of Ren by His Majesty, a hereditary title, and was granted an additional 30,000 households."

"He holds the official titles of Grand Marshal and General-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs, both inside and outside the capital, and is granted the authority to carry out imperial orders and the power to wield the Yellow Axe. He also leads the affairs of the Secretariat and is honored as Grand Tutor. All military affairs of the empire, all armies inside and outside the capital, the elite troops of the northern frontier, and the imperial guards of the north and south are under his command. All matters concerning officials and staff, regardless of their importance, must first be decided by him before being reported to the emperor."

"I'm thinking, they should dare to touch you, right?"

After a pause, Ren Tianye continued, "You said you're the daughter of a merchant in Yunjing City, right? And you manage such a large amount of wealth in Yunjing City, so you should be very familiar with Yunjing City."

"Now that you're in Kyoto, why don't you stay and have a good chat with me about the affairs of Yunjing City?"

"I have a great deal of curiosity about Yunjing City."

Ren Tianye spoke these words in a calm tone.

But inside, he was overjoyed.

He had already put the plan to attack Yunjing City on the agenda, which was why he couldn't wait to find Bai Hu and inquire about the matter of Yunjing City.

But we don't know enough about the white swan, not enough details.

it's good now.

Talent delivered right to our doorstep!

It would be a shame not to make good use of it.

Unfortunately, Ren Tianye's long list of official titles, which even he sometimes couldn't remember, failed to intimidate Li Shuhan.

Li Shuhan's expression suddenly changed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're Ren Tianye?"

"The enemy that Bai Li dreams of killing?"

"Indeed, it is I," Ren Tianye said. "However, there are some things you have misunderstood. Bai Li is now my wife."

"No, it's my concubine."

"She's the kind of concubine who, if she doesn't obey, I can punish her according to the family rules at any time."

Ren Tianye's words were intended as a threat.

He had learned this the hard way before. When facing these bewitching demons, whether male or female, normal conversations are completely incomprehensible. The only effective way is to attack where the enemy must defend. Therefore, he directly brought up Bai Li.

This time, however, the situation is somewhat different.

Li Shuhan's face showed a hint of excitement as he said, "I... I thought that Sister Bai Li left without saying goodbye because she didn't like me anymore. It turns out, it turns out, she just went to take revenge on you."

"Hahaha, Sister Bai Li still has me in her heart! Sister Bai Li still has me in her heart!"
