âYou! You, country bumpkin, you dared to do this to me!â The person could not hold back his anger as he stretched his hands out to cover the torn shreds of his robe.
Lou Xiaoxiao held the sword and pointed it at his throat. âSeeing how youâre dressed, youâre only a servant in the Prefectural Governorâs mansion! So what exactly are you so proud of? Even if Iâm not good, my surname is still Lou.â
The personâs face turned pale, and his whole body trembled as he stared at the long sword. âPut, put the sword down...â
âGive me a reason to put my sword down,â Lou Xiaoxiao said as she exerted a little strength.
The man felt a wave of pain in his neck, and he almost fell apart. âI was in the wrong. I realize my mistake. Young lady, I shouldnât have looked down on you. I beg you to let me go. I still have an elderly mother at home...â
He was still begging for mercy when he saw someone. His eyes lit up as he pitifully shouted, âThird Young Master! Third Young Master, help me! Someone wants to kill me!â
âThird Young Master?â
âThird Young Master is here?â
Upon hearing this loud shout, everyone who was intently watching the central square, turned around one after another. They started looking at their surroundings.
Soon, they spotted a man dressed in embroidered clothes striding toward them.
âThird Young Master! Itâs really Third Young Master!â
âIsnât Third Young Master in the Imperial City? Why is he back?â
âExactly! The mother of Third Young Master and Young Lady is a noble princess. Third Young Master has been learning with the prince in the Imperial City since he was young. Why did he suddenly come back?â
The crowd became doubtful.
âThird Young Master, Third Young Master, save me. Iâm Lou Ying. Please save me on account of my mother!â The man below Lou Xiaoxiaoâs sword pitifully shouted again.
âHuh? Lou Ying.â The man in the embroidered clothes, who was striding over, asked. âAre you my nannyâs son, Lou Ying?â
âYes, Third Young Master. Itâs me, itâs me!â
The man in the embroidered clothes nodded and shifted his gaze onto Lou Xiaoxiao. After looking at her and the Lou familyâs juniors who were cowering behind her, he frowned. âRegardless of who you all are, put your sword down, break one of your arms yourselves, and leave the Lou family. Iâll spare your life.â
Lou Xiaoxiao also frowned. âAre the rules of the Prefectural Governorâs mansion like this?â
âIâm the rule in the Prefectural Governorâs mansion,â The man in the embroidered clothes coldly and arrogantly said.
Such wild words. His status in the Prefectural Governorâs mansion should definitely be high?
What should I do?
Lou Xiaoxiao was hesitant.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone in the surroundings became silent as they looked at Lou Xiaoxiao as if they were looking at an idiot and a dead person.
âIâll count to three. If you donât take action, Iâll help you to do it,â The man in the embroidered clothes calmly said. âOne.â
âTwo.â
âHold onââ Lou Xiaoxiao could tell that this young man was serious. She could not help herself as she said, âIâm not convinced. Heâs a servant, and my surnameâs Lou. Even though Iâm not a family member of the head, Iâm also a guest. However, he kept insulting me. Iâm not wrong for teaching him a lesson!â
âNo, youâre wrong,â The man in the embroidered clothes domineeringly said. âAlthough heâs a servant, heâs the son of my nanny. Although your surname is Lou, in my eyes, youâre an ant. Therefore, itâs natural for him to scold you, and you deserve it. By taking action, you have disrespected me. So youâll have to pay a price.â
âWhat a great Third Young Master! Heâs really overbearing and arrogant.â
The man in the embroidered clothes dangerously narrowed his eyes. âThe nonsense is over. I should take action.â
In the blink of an eye, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Lou Xiaoxiao. With the flash of a cold light, the weapon in his hand slashed at Lou Xiaoxiaoâs shoulder.
âFalling Flowers!â Lou Xiaoxiaoâs expression changed as she swung the tip of her sword.
Beautiful flowers made up of Essence Martial Power appeared out of thin air and exploded.
The powerful impact made Third Young Master pause for a moment.
âHuh?â A tinge of surprise flashed past his eyes. âYou dodged it! Your martial skills are not bad. However...â
With a cold gaze, he sinisterly said, âSince this is the case, I definitely want your arm!â
