My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 591: Five hundred ninety, Yunlan City

Watching the unicorn charging in her direction, Song Yan Ning flicked her finger ever so slightly, and a small stone silently shot out.

"Ah!" A miserable scream sounded as the young man riding the unicorn was flung into the air.

Another young man, rushing toward the crowd, failed to restrain his Demon Beast in time. The Demon Beast trampled right over the young man on the ground, intensifying his screams of agony even further.

"Xiao Shuo!" Several young men quickly dismounted their Demon Beasts and rushed to the one on the ground.

Xiao Shuo weakly opened his eyes, "My Demon Beast was attacked..." This Demon Beast was his Beast Pet; it would not have thrown him off unless it had been attacked.

"Who did it?" Xiao Xun coldly swept his gaze across the crowd. Whoever had attacked his brother’s Demon Beast would pay a painful price.

Seeing no response, Xiao Xun’s expression grew even darker, "No one will admit to it, huh? Everyone shall have an arm severed." He was the Young City Lord of Yunlan City, and he had every right to enforce this.

"Young City Lord, I know who did it." A middle-aged man emerged from the crowd.

"Who?" Xiao Xun asked coldly.

"It was them." The middle-aged man pointed at Song Yan Ning and her two companions. He hadn’t actually seen Song Yan Ning and the others take action; it was their attire that betrayed them as outsiders. Since they were strangers in Yunlan City, they surely had no backing here, so he anticipated no retaliation for pointing them out. Above all, he did not wish to lose an arm.

Song Yan Ning looked at the middle-aged man with surprise. Her action had been so swift, it should have been unnoticed, and besides, he was clearly at a distance from her. However, even if he hadn’t pointed her out, she was prepared to admit it herself; she had no intention of letting so many be implicated because of her.

Xiao Xun followed the direction the middle-aged man was pointing and looked at Song Yan Ning and her two companions, "Was it you?"

"Indeed!" Song Yan Ning and the others nodded, their faces showing no sign of panic.

"Guards, arrest them and take them back to the City Lord Mansion," Xiao Xun commanded his escort.

Song Yan Ning and her companions didn’t resist and let the guards lead them to the City Lord Mansion.

Xiao Xun glanced at the barely alive Xiao Shuo, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent. He would not let those three off.

When Song Yan Ning and her companions were brought to the City Lord Mansion, they encountered a middle-aged man hurrying back.

Upon seeing them being led back by the guards, he hesitated slightly before approaching, "Who are these people? What crime have they committed?"

"They attacked Young Master Shuo’s mount, causing him to sustain severe injuries," the guard recounted the incident. This steward had significant status within the City Lord Mansion, so they dared not offend him.

The steward nodded, "Did the Young City Lord mention how to deal with them?"

"The Young City Lord only instructed us to lock them up."

"Hmm." The steward nodded once and walked towards the interior.

The City Lord held a Jade Scroll in his hand, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

"City Lord!" The steward entered the study and respectfully greeted the City Lord.

Coming back to his senses, the City Lord asked, "What about Wanshou Forest?" Yunlan City and Wanshou Forest had coexisted peacefully for thousands of years, yet suddenly, the king of Wanshou Forest demanded that he surrender Yunlan City or else brace for the Forest’s Demon Beasts to attack Yunlan City. Yunlan City was his territory; how could he possibly hand it over to those Demon Beasts?

"They said three days at most!" reported the steward truthfully.noveldrama
