My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2057: What Are Your Intentions

The way she’s fighting clearly shows she’s had personal guidance from a renowned master!

The opponent’s movements slowed down significantly, but after a while, he evidently saw through many of her tactics and quickly found a flaw.

"Ah..." Yiyi cried out in pain as she was kicked in the knee, forced to kneel partially on the ground, and as her wrist was caught and twisted, her face turned pale with pain.

"Enough, stop." A calm and steady voice sounded from the shadows, and the lights gradually illuminated, instantly brightening the whole conference room, clearly revealing the two people present.

The one holding her down was a young warrior, and the person whose voice had just been heard was none other than Ling Kong, who was staring at the half-kneeling, breathless Yiyi with a sharp and probing gaze.

The young warrior released Yiyi upon hearing Ling Kong’s order, then walked out of the conference room and closed the door.

Yiyi’s left fist clenched slightly, her face showed frustration, surprise, and unwillingness, which then relaxed as she tidied her disheveled hair and clothes before lifting her head with a cold expression, mocking:

"What a grand welcome, truly flattering."

"..." Faced with her sarcasm filled with resentment, Ling Kong said nothing, merely watching her quietly.

Yiyi uncomfortably averted her eyes, really not wanting to meet his overly sharp gaze, which seemed like a probe trying to uncover all her secrets, causing panic and discomfort.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? The Councilman’s declaration stated that no one should discriminate against those who surrender on behalf of the queen, yet I’ve been assaulted like this. You owe me a reasonable explanation. Is it because you’re having trouble dealing with my adoptive father, and wanted to take it out on me?" Yiyi mocked.

Ling Kong glanced at her sideways, smirking, "If that were the case, you wouldn’t have the chance to stand here mocking me, you’d have been hung up and beaten long ago, eliminating your chance to talk back."

Yiyi glared at him fiercely.

Such a baffling person, if he didn’t want to discipline her, what was he up to?

"What do you really want?"

"Just wanted to see your martial skills level, that’s all," Ling Kong truthfully replied. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yiyi was startled, immediately sensing something amiss. She might be mistaken for a spy again, which could be a huge problem. In this civil war, being considered a spy could destroy her.

And she truly couldn’t explain why a regular girl from Yalan Country would have such skills.

"I’m not a spy, don’t try to use that as an excuse to accuse me. This is just basic self-defense..." she hurriedly refuted but felt uncertain herself.

Unexpectedly, Ling Kong said, "I believe you’re not."

Yiyi was surprised that he believed her so easily. This person was really strange. Wasn’t he known for being cautious and smart, yet he believed just from her words?

Her feelings were subtly odd.

"Although I believe you don’t have the guts or capability to be a spy, the necessary inspection procedures need to be conducted."

Yiyi listened, and inwardly snorted. Saying she doesn’t have the guts or capability to be a spy... Indeed, she doesn’t have the guts to become a spy for no reason.

But it seems that all this time, the government hasn’t sent anyone to investigate her, and now they’ve finally taken action.
