Chapter 673: Even Offering a Knife Becomes Possible
"Cousin, since you know that my fiancée and I are to be married soon, you should have stayed at home and behaved yourself instead of parading around the palace like this, causing gossip!" If not for..."Stand down!" Wu Yue Gongzi hadn't expected Xiao Yuge to possess such high martial arts skills. Though surprised, he wasn't about to call for help from others. He ordered his men to retreat.
"Yes!" His subordinate silently withdrew.
"I never expected that Miss Xiangfu, who grew up in such a pampered environment, would actually be a martial arts expert! Miss Xiao, you are truly a constant source of surprises!" Wuyue Gongzi became serious, no longer taking it lightly.
Xiao Yu's song was secretly surprised. Wuyue Gongzi looked so gentle, but he didn't expect him to be serious. His martial arts were really good. Of course, being chosen by Leiting Pavilion, his martial arts couldn't be bad.
The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand. Wuyue Gongzi feigned a move, leaping aside and stopping, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yuge: "Who are you" He had investigated her, but how could a young lady who had been pampered since childhood possess such terrifying martial arts skills
“Didn’t you look me up How come, don’t believe your ears, or don’t believe your eyes” Xiao Yuge sneered, brushing the dust off the edge of her skirt, looking nonchalant, as if she hadn’t had enough of this fight yet.
“Impossible! You can’t possibly have such high martial arts skills!” Wuyue Gongzi still seemed disbelieving, of course, he could never have imagined that the little girl before him was the younger mistress of the Frost and Snow Pavilion, equal to him in fame.
"Young Master Wúyuè, whether you believe it or not, my purpose for coming today has been achieved. As for whom you wish to kill or what you intend to do, I have no concern. However, do not harm those under my protection, otherwise..."
“Your person You mean the prince It seems actions speak louder than words, you’ve truly fallen for him.” Wuyue Gongzi wasn't surprised. He sighed: “It’s a pity, such a beautiful young man, yet he belongs to another. That disfigured prince is truly lucky, it’s almost infuriating!”
"This is none of your concern!" Xiao Yuge snorted coldly, glancing at him: "Next time, I trouble you to tell your people to open their eyes a little wider. If you want to make a move, please choose a place where Miss Ben isn't around. Otherwise, you'll be in my way!"
She thought to herself: she had almost said it directly, to have them kill Qian Si Chen. If they were going to do it, just get on with it. Be quick about it. If there was a lack of knives, she would offer ten more. Couldn't this effeminate one hear what was implied
If anyone in this world wanted Qian Sichin to die, she would certainly be one of them!
"Miss Xiao, please rest assured, there won't be a next time." Although Wuyue Gongzi didn't know if he could trust her, he knew that if they continued fighting, she might not lose to him. So, let's just stop here for now.
If she really wanted to harm him, she could have told Qian Si Chen. And with the prince's power, it would be possible for him to make Qifeng Lou disappear from this capital city. But she didn't do that, which proves that she must have other intentions. Before figuring out her true purpose, it's best not to easily turn against her, after all, her backer is the King.
"Well then, I'll be taking my leave!" Xiao Yuge opened the door and walked out. Lu Xiangwan was already outside waiting anxiously. Seeing her come out, she hurried over to meet her.
"Ge'er, are you alright" Lu Xiwan also cared about her, glaring at Wuyue Gongzi with an eye that seemed to say, "Fortunately Ge'er is fine, otherwise, I wouldn't let him off."
“I’m fine, let’s go.”
As she was leaving, Lu Xiangwan glanced back at the Moonless Master one last time, pursed her lips, and then left with Xiao Yuge.
Wú Yuè Gongzi watched their departing figures, lowering his eyes to glance at his arm. The sleeve was already slashed with a gash, and there was another one across his chest. He couldn't help but shudder inwardly: if she hadn't held back, those two blows would have not only severed his arm, but also likely split his entire upper body in two.
Xiao Yu Ge returned to Ruyi Pavilion. Originally, Feng Yan Niang planned to step forward and pay her respects, but seeing that the person beside Xiao Yu Ge was not Qing Luo, but Lu Xiang Wan, she pretended to be her usual self: "Ge'er, it's so late, why are you here"
"I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places, so I came here." Xiao Yuge gave her a knowing look.
Feng Yanni understood, she grabbed her hand and pulled her away: "Just right, without you, I couldn't sleep soundly either. Tonight, the two of us sisters should have a good chat." She had figured that the mistress would appear here at this late hour for a reason.
And arrange for Xiaowu to take Lu Xiangwan aside to rest: "Xiaowu, arrange a room for Miss Lu to rest."
"Okay." Xiaowu happily led Lu Xiangwan aside, "Miss Lu, please follow me."
Lu Xiangwan nodded and said thank you, then followed behind her. She asked Xiao Wu, "Your master's relationship with the county princess seems unusual"
Little Five said proudly, “Of course! The county princess is our benefactor in Ruyi Pavilion. If it weren't for her, we sisters would have starved on the streets long ago. Our madam is grateful to the county princess and they hit it off instantly, like close sisters.”
"Your leader seems to be quite skilled in martial arts..." Lu Xiangwan said again.
"Well, our mistress is quite the heroine. Before she became the head of Ruyi Pavilion, her family ran a bodyguard agency. She'd been following her father since childhood, traveling all over the place, so her martial arts skills are naturally amazing." Xiao Wu was also quick to speak.
"Then are all the sisters of our Ru Yi Pavilion skilled in martial arts" Lu Xiangwan asked again.
"Oh, sisters, who has the time But it's our mistress who said so. Almost all of us in Ruyi Pavilion are girls. We're afraid of being bullied, so in our free time, she forces us to learn some self-defense skills. It's a pity that we are all mediocre and only learned some clumsy moves. I'm really afraid of embarrassing the mistress."
"Lu girl, I've never seen you come with the Princess before. Are you new to the Princess's side" Xiao Wu was a little curious.
"Well, yes, I am now the county lord's personal guard!"
"It seems that Lu girl must be highly skilled in martial arts. The county princess is a very kind person. In the future, Lu girl should definitely protect the county princess well when she is by her side."
That goes without saying.
Inside a room.
"Master, you came so late, is there something you need" Feng Yanniang had already secretly gathered Huo Yan and the others there.
"Indeed, there is something the matter." Xiao Yuge's face was grave, her gaze flitting back and forth between them as she pondered how to begin. Old Feng had entrusted all of this to her, but she...
"The OP..." Feng Yanniang had been by Xiao Yuge's side the longest, naturally realizing what was going on.
“I’m here today because I have a few urgent matters that need your attention. First, investigate who is behind the scenes hiring Qingfeng Tower to assassinate the prince. Also, re-investigate the National Teacher's background, starting from Qingfeng Tower this time.” Xiao Yuge always felt that the National Teacher was problematic, but even Qian Tingxuan couldn't find out anything. She could only ask her own people to try again.inished, her face changing drastically. She trembled and asked, "You... you poisoned the tea" But she had just drunk it herself."I am the heir to the Poison King, my poison only works on others." Wou...
