Pleasing and Wooing (3)

"Tang Tang, hurry to the front courtyard and call someone! I'll hold them back!" Duan Tianrao said righteously.

Ye Qingtang feigned panic, but there was only a cold snicker in her eyes.

The four men in black and Duan Tianrao went in circles continuously, but Duan Tianrao was not hurt at all. Thinking that they were not his opponents, Duan Tianrao sought the opportunity to show off.

Ye Qingtang watched the four men, who had not shown their true powers, coldly and took the opportunity to give one of the men a hand signal to attack ruthlessly when Duan Tianrao was not looking.

The four people, who still had worries initially, changed their attacks drastically upon seeing Ye Qingtang's hand signal.

In an instant, Duan Tianrao, who was managing the fight well previously, lost his advantage, and injuries scattered over his body.

The fighting became louder and louder, traveling out of the backyard. Seeing that some flames moved from the front courtyard and neared them, Ye Qingtang knew that the battle had drawn the attention of the people in the front courtyard.

Then, Ye Qingtang withdrew all coldness from her eyes and made the panic on her face more obvious.

Duan Tianrao did not even know how the four men suddenly became so powerful. With cuts all over his body, he did not even bother to look elegant anymore and could only fight back battered. He glanced at an "overly shocked" Ye Qingtang and hurriedly said, "Tang Tang, hurry and call someone here! These people are here to kill you!"

Only then did Ye Qingtang "realize what was going on" and "regained her senses" as she headed towards the front courtyard to seek help.

However, in the front courtyard, Ye Ling and the rest had heard the fighting sounds long ago and headed towards the direction of the sound hurriedly. At the entrance of the backyard, the group of people saw Ye Qingtang coming to "call for reinforcement".

"Tang Tang, what happened exactly?" Ye Ling anxiously walked forward when he saw his own daughter and only sighed in relief after ascertaining that there was nothing wrong with Ye Qingtang.

"Father! Someone wants to kill me. Second Young Master Duan is fighting with those assassins!" Ye Qingtang said with a face full of "nervousness".

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Who would be so bold to plot to kill the Young Lady of the Ye family in the Ye residence?

Upon hearing her words, Ye Ling was even more alarmed. The Great Elder arranged for the assassins to murder Ye Ling previously. Could it be that the incident today was intentionally arranged by the Great Elder again?

"What audacity! How dare they revolt in my Ye residence!" The Second Elder scoffed and rushed to the backyard at high speed.

Ye Ling and the group of guests headed there along with Ye Qingtang.

In the backyard, the smell of blood filled the air. From afar, everyone saw that Duan Tianrao was fighting the four men unceasingly under the moonlight. Duan Tianrao was clearly not the four men's opponents, as his elegant clothes were stained red with blood!

"How dare you!" The Second Elder shouted coldly, and with a leap, he brought a group of Ye family's guards and cornered the four men.

Duan Tianrao, who had long been soaked in cold sweat, panted heavily when reinforcements finally came.

"Are you alright, Young Master Duan?" Ye Ling asked as he looked at the heavily-injured Duan Tianrao with a frown.

"I'm fine. These bastards are here to kill Tang Tang. Uncle Ye must catch them," Duan Tianrao acted as though he was alright, but in reality, he was breaking out in cold sweat profusely from the pain. Feigning a front, he looked at Ye Qingtang with loving eyes.

"As long as Tang Tang is alright, I will be at ease."

Ye Qingtang secretly sneered when she saw Duan Tianrao's pose.

However, Duan Tianrao was pretty "good with words" as he said everything that Ye Qingtang wanted to say initially, saving her the trouble.
