A moment earlier.
Su Jinghong and Su Ye had begun fighting in earnest.
Su Mingyue was secretly delighted.
Good!
Keep fighting!
Hit him harder!
Little Aunt should teach that brat Su Ye a proper lesson!
That'll teach him to leave me with the Demon Race and bully me!
And—and embarrass me in front of Xiao Zhuyue.
I'm Su Ye's older sister, after all!
Don't I deserve a little respect?
Su Mingyue was one step away from jumping up and cheering Su Jinghong on.
Xiao Zhuyue and the members of the Storm Demon Hunting Squad, however, were starting to lose their composure.
Luoshan, tall and honest-faced, scratched his head. "Captain, isn't the Vice Captain going a bit too far?"
Shi Yan, a thin man with a white streak in his hair, chuckled. "Big Mountain, you know how protective our Vice Captain is. Someone bullied the Su Family's Little Princess, so of course she has to teach him a lesson. She knows how to hold back, though. That young man will hurt for a night at most."
Ning Shanshan, petite with twin ponytails, watched with shining eyes. "The Vice Captain is amazing! Don't worry—if she gets carried away, I'll help her... heal him!"
The Black-Clad Youth stood with his arms wrapped around his sword, quietly watching the two fight. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"He's quite good."
"Wow."
The last member of the squad also wore black. She had a graceful figure and was a tall, slender beauty.
Su Ye would have recognized her at a glance.
She was Shen Mo's older sister, Shen Dai, whom he had met once before!
Shen Dai had recognized Su Ye immediately too.
But she was not worried about him.
The Vice Captain might have stepped in to defend her family, but she knew her limits.
