Chapter 444: Toughness (1)

　　The two girls next to Shang Lian’s granddaughter pulled her back and mumbled something. With a red and yet pale face, Shang Lian’s granddaughter nodded and shouted at the five men on the ground. “Get back on your feet! Embarrassing!” She turned around and went downstairs, as if she hadn’t done anything outrageous here.

　　Yun Feng’s eyes became cold. “You’re leaving just like that? Do you think we’re so easy to get rid of?”

　　Shang Lian’s granddaughter turned around angrily. “What more do you want?”

　　“Apologize,” said Yun Feng coldly.

　　Shang Rui instantly flushed. “Apologize? You’re asking me to apologize?”

　　Yun Feng raised her brows. “Apologize! Don’t test my patience!” The coldness in her eyes made Shang Lian’s granddaughter sweat hard. She wondered why this girl could be so intimidating when they were of a similar age. She was too proud of her identity to apologize!

　　“Who do you think you are? It doesn’t matter even if you’re the Young Lady. There’s no way that I’ll apologize!” Shang Lian’s granddaughter was about to go away. Then, Yun Feng flashed forward. Red Maple’s warriors realized that their Young Lady was angry.

　　“Ah!” Shang Lian’s granddaughter cried in pain. Her shoulder had been stuck, and her face became pale because of the pain. Her companions were going to help her, but were scared off by Yun Feng’s glare.

　　“Apologize,” said Yun Feng again, exerting more strength on her hand. Cold sweat dripped from Shang Lian’s granddaughter’s forehead. She was too vulnerable a girl to endure Yun Feng’s strength. The boss wanted to intervene, but Red Maple’s warriors stopped him. It was best not to further infuriate the Young Lady at this moment.

　　“If you don’t want to be crippled, apologize.” Yun Feng exerted her strength again. Shang Lian’s granddaughter cramped in pain, knowing that Yun Feng meant it, and that she would be crippled if she didn’t apologize!

　　“I’m sorry…” she gnashed her teeth. Yun Feng put on a cold smile. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”

　　Shang Lian’s granddaughter glared, and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry!”

　　Yun Feng suddenly loosened her hand, and Shang Lian’s daughter nearly fell on the ground. Her companions, who had been too scared to move, gave her a hand carefully and supported her downstairs. “Just wait for it!” Shang Lian’s granddaughter gnashed her teeth. Yun Feng, on the other hand, smiled casually. “I will.”

　　At this moment, the five men lying on the ground all got back to their feet, grimacing. They glanced at Yun Feng, and ran downstairs as fast as possible. The boss didn’t know whether he should feel lucky or sorry. Yun Feng felt like a completely different person to him right now. The Young Lady of Red Maple was quite a renowned figure!

　　“Madam…” The boss smiled obsequiously, lowering his back and rubbing his hands. Yun Feng glanced at Mu Xiaojin’s dress. “We’ll take this one.” The boss nodded, and promptly asked whether or not they wanted more clothes, suggesting that he could offer them for free. Yun Feng declined the offer. Mu Xiaojin had been silent the whole time, as if she was caught in sad memories. Seeing her expression, Yun Feng didn’t ask her. She would tell her everything when she wanted to.

　　They left the store, and the two soldiers of the Red Maple Mercenary Team followed Yun Feng with delight. Yun Feng smiled. “If you’re on a mission, just work on it. Don’t mind me.”

　　The two soldiers instantly shook their heads. “Accompanying you is our greatest mission right now!” The two of them were indeed on a mission, but it was not important. Meeting Yun Feng in this place was something to be proud of for the two soldiers! The Young Lady was the symbol of Red Maple! What was more important than accompanying the Young Lady?

　　Both of them couldn’t have been more delighted and proud. They would certainly brag about it with their brothers after they returned! Yun Feng and Mu Xiaojin came to the Mercenary Union with the two warriors, and Mu Xiaojin was temporarily freed from her sorrow. She was quite curious about the Red Maple Mercenary Team’s enthusiasm. Those soldiers were coming to Yun Feng like bees that had found pollen. They wouldn’t have left had it not been for Zhao Mingqi’s order.

　　“This is not right. The Young Lady rarely comes back. We should spend more time with her.” That was the angry complaint of every member of the Red Maple Mercenary Team. Hearing that, Zhao Mingqi could only smile helplessly. Indeed, Yun Feng rarely returned these days. It was understandable that the soldiers were complaining. Even he wasn’t happy about that.

　　Spending an entire day in the Mercenary Union, Yun Feng and Mu Xiaojin were both happy. At dusk, Yun Feng was going to take Mu Xiaojin away. Naturally, the soldiers of the Red Maple Mercenary Team were reluctant to let her go, and all wanted to walk her out. Zhao Mingqi had to be the bad guy who stopped their childish behavior. It was also because he wanted to talk to the Young Lady in private. The soldiers of the Red Maple Mercenary Team complained about their Captain Zhao again.

　　When he walked Yun Qi out, Zhao Mingqi gave her a lot of reminders, asking her to pay more attention to her safety and tell Red Maple if she needed help. He also promised to protect the Yun family. Yun Feng smiled. Uncle Zhao was always like that, treating her like a child. She forgot that she was actually still a child. Maybe because of her different soul, and maybe because she had seen different things on her new level, she was more mature than girls of her age. She was even more mature and reliable than many seniors.

　　Taking Mu Xiaojin out of the Mercenary Union, Yun Feng soon saw several people who had clearly been waiting for a long time. Yun Feng put on a playful smile, and Shang Lian, who had waited for a long time, instantly smiled. “Yun Feng, you’re finally out.”
