“You—”

Sui Sui looked at the condescending An Jiuyue, feeling a deep sense of frustration.

However, she was out of options. Her life might be in their hands. She could only retreat for now and deal with them once she regained her freedom.

“Don’t be rash. I come from the royal family. Offending me won’t lead to a good outcome for you.” She revealed her family background.

No one dared to provoke the royal family here. She reckoned they would not make things difficult for her after learning her identity. They might even revere her.

“How about this? We’ll each take a step back. I won’t make things difficult for you anymore. I’ll grant you freedom, and you’ll promise to protect me on Scorching Rock Peak. How about that?”

An Jiuyue was speechless.

Where did this fool come from? How could she say such things when someone was stepping on her?

An Jiuyue glanced at Qian Jiyun and touched her chin.

“Jiyun, are my eyes playing tricks on me? Are you the one being stepped on, not her?” she asked.

Qian Jiyun said nothing but stepped on her harder, trying to make her come to her senses and know what to do.

As expected, Sui Sui screamed again, her face turning pale.

These two were inhumane! She already said she was part of the royal family, but they were still treating her like this. Were they hoping to be exterminated?

“You… How dare you… I’m from the royal family. Provoking me… won’t do you… any good! ! I… I… Ah!” She ended her sentence with a scream.

This man was too ruthless. He stepped on her so hard, not caring that she was a lady. Did he think she was a stone?

“Don’t, don’t step on me. I… admit my mistake. I shouldn’t have provoked you.”

What could she do? She was in despair! Her guards were like decorations. They could not help at all when Qian Jiyun bullied her.

“You sound a little too reluctant!” An Jiuyue crouched down and looked at Sui Sui with a faint smile. “A member of the royal family? Which royal family? The

Yueming Empire?”

“1—” Sui Sui opened her mouth, as if she finally understood why they were so rude to her.

The Yueming Empire and the Zhanling Empire had different dressing styles. It was easy to recognize them. They were from the Zhanling Empire, right?

That explained why they treated her like this even though she had already revealed her identity.

Perhaps they had already figured it out before she revealed her identity. The only reason they remained silent was to avoid having a bad relationship with her.

They must have ignored her because of the war between the two countries.

“Are you from the Zhanling Empire?”

She was a little afraid now. Her voice trembled as she looked at An Jiuyue uneasily.

Why did she not think of this earlier? If they were from the Yueming Empire, why would they treat her like this? The number of guards surrounding her would have led them to speculate about her identity.

“From the Zhanling Empire?” An Jiuyue looked up at Qian Jiyun and nodded..
