Chapter 185: A Strong Malice Appeared Simply

When Hua Qianyu received the summons, she was already on her way to the council chamber, so she arrived early. Besides her, the only other people in the council chamber were City Lord Hua, Hua Qianyuan, and some guards and elders. The other subordinates had not yet arrived.

Lord Hua looked at Hua Qianyu and frowned, saying, "Qianyu, why don't you hand the person over to your brother?"

"Why should I hand them over to him?" Hua Qianyu looked at City Lord Hua with displeasure. "These three appeared in the city, and both Hua Qianyuan and I wanted to send people to them. But Father, you wouldn't allow me to send anyone because you wanted to give him his memories. He underestimated the three and didn't send any experts, which resulted in all the people he sent dying. I was able to send people today because I captured them. Why is Father always so biased?"

Lord Hua's expression was not good: "Qianyu, you are increasingly disregarding your father!"

"Does Father even consider me his daughter?" Hua Qianyu said coldly. "In terms of ability, strength, whether I'm legitimate or illegitimate, or my maternal family background, in every way am I not better than that good-for-nothing Hua Qianyuan?"

“I used to respect my father because I thought he really intended to let a capable person become the city lord. Now…” Hua Qianyu sneered and said no more.

Lord Hua's expression grew increasingly grim, but he was indeed biased, and there was no way to refute it.

Hua Qianyuan couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "Hua Qianyu, you keep calling me a piece of trash, but even if I'm trash, I've already taken over the position of city lord. The city lord is still from our Hua family, but it can be passed down to you. If you pass it down to someone else, it's hard to say what the city lord's surname will be."

"You want to judge based on gender?" Hua Qianyu looked at Hua Qianyuan, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Nine Domains and Seventeen States, no women hold power, is that it?"

Before Hua Qianyuan could speak, Hua Qianyu's voice rang out again: "Let's not talk about distant things. Just look at the ruler of the Lingze Empire in Qizhou. Isn't she a woman?"

“Lingze is indeed the place, but we are in the Lanyue Empire,” Hua Qianyuan said arrogantly. “Don’t even think about it.”

Hua Qianyu saw his expression, smiled, and said nothing more.

Just bear with it a little longer, just a little longer and this idiot is about to die!

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the council chamber. Once everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, Hua Qianyu, accompanied by Ling Yi, stood up and walked to the center of the council chamber. Her gaze swept over everyone in the council chamber before settling on City Lord Hua: "Father, you said before that whoever could capture the three fugitives from the border city would inherit the position of city lord. Now that they are in my hands, Father, may I announce it?"

Lord Hua said, "Qianyu, what I meant was that whoever catches the fugitive will be credited with a merit, not that whoever catches him will be given the position. Besides, you didn't even catch him."

“Father is right. Those who betray me are no longer my people.” Hua Qianyu didn’t dwell on this point and instead said, “Even if it’s just one merit, over the years, my contributions are far greater. Father’s intuition tells me that it’s okay to announce it.”

City Lord Hua frowned: "Qianyu, you have indeed made many contributions, but Qianyuan has made even more. The position of City Lord..."

"That good-for-nothing has more than me?" Hua Qianyu sneered, "Father, don't you feel any pain in your face or mouth when you say that?"

Before Lord Hua could say anything more, Hua Qianyu looked at the others and asked, "Do you all also think that Hua Qianyuan's abilities are stronger than mine?"

"Miss, the Second Young Master is indeed more capable than you."

"Yes, the Second Young Master always handles the tasks assigned by the City Lord very well."

"The second young master is quite capable."

Under Hua Qianyu's gaze, more than half of the people spoke up, while the other half argued for Hua Qianyu, denouncing the city lord's injustice. However, they were outnumbered and had no way to resolve the situation.

“Since that’s the case, then I can only use my own methods to fight for the position of city lord.” After Hua Qianyu finished speaking, she grabbed the red cloth on Ling Yi’s head and looked at everyone, saying, “I’m sure you all have seen what the three people on the wanted poster look like. If you support me, the person in my hand will be yours.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Qianyu ripped off the red cloth from Ling Yi's head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Hua Qianyu pinched Ling Yi's chin, forcing him to look up and face the people in the council chamber: "This girl has been poisoned by the Bone-Softening Pill. You don't need to worry about her hurting you when you take her back. I'll use her to exchange for your support, how about it?"

Lan Yue has an extremely strong culture of valuing beauty, which means that any girl in the empire who is beautiful but has no background will become a resource and be used to exchange for anything she wants.

The moment Ling Yi's appearance was revealed, most people in the council chamber had their eyes light up. However, these people were relatively restrained, but some people, such as Hua Qianyuan, couldn't even restrain themselves, and their gazes were so sticky that they made people uncomfortable.

"Sister, isn't it all you want: the position of city lord?" Hua Qianyuan stared intently at Ling Yi. "Give me the person, and I'll give you the position of city lord, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Hua rebuked, "Nonsense!"

Hua Qianyu smiled and asked, "Really?"

Hua Qianyuan nodded vigorously: "It's true!"

Anyway, it's just a temporary arrangement to give the city lord position to Hua Qianyu. Once he gets his hands on this beauty, he can have his father take the city lord position back.

The position of city lord is not urgent; the most pressing matter is to obtain this beauty!

An old man shook his head, looking at City Lord Hua with disappointment in his voice; "City Lord, is this the successor you have chosen?"

"Nonsense! The position of city lord is not a child's play!"

“I can understand…” said one of Hua Qianyuan’s faction. “Such a beauty is indeed rare.”

"Yes, it's well-known that Lan Yue loves beauty, so it's normal for the second young master to love beautiful women too."

“That’s right, Miss, that’s not how you use a beauty.” Someone joked, “If such a beauty were sent to the capital, it would bring a lot of benefits to our Flower Dance City. The Second Young Master doesn’t want the position of city lord but a beauty. I suppose it’s to benefit Flower Dance City. Miss, you can’t compare to the Second Young Master in this respect.”

Upon hearing this, Lord Hua's eyes flickered as he looked at Hua Qianyu and said, "Qianyu, you are indeed no match for your brother. Hand him over."

“Father…” Hua Qianyuan wanted to say that he had no intention of sending the person to the capital, but before he could speak, he was stopped by a look from the City Lord Hua.

"Young Miss, you should hand this prisoner over to the city lord."

"Yes, such a beauty should not be wasted."

Hua Qianyu turned her head to look at Ling Yi. Such intense malice appeared so easily. She said Ling Yi's plan would be very successful.

Hua Qianyu looked at Lord Hua: "Father, am I really your daughter? Why are you so biased?!"

Lord Hua sighed softly, "Qianyu, I gave the position to Qianyuan because she deserved it. It wasn't an act of favoritism. Why are you..."

“Well said, ‘worth it.’ Well said, ‘not biased.’” Hua Qianyu released Ling Yi and stepped back.
