Kachaââ
The front face of the tall skinny boy knocked into a wall, his nose snapped with a sharp crisp sound, and then he slid down the wall.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The ash grey stone wall was stained with fresh red blood.
A horrifying sight!
The young children eyes widened with shock at the scene, watching the powerless Yuan Qing lying on the ground desperately trying to get up. It sent chills down their spines.
Yuan Qing is the son of General Yuan Wanli, who is in charge of the West City Walls, and although the Yuan family was not one of the most powerful families at the city of where the emperor lives, but to injure someone like this with a deadly blowââdo they want to create deep hatred?
Who dares to be so vicious?
Everyone turned their heads to see a girl with a sweet smile and a blank look on her face.
âThis girl is really pretty.â The older children thought.
âHey, was it you who attacked from behind?â Some unromantic little brat that did not know how to appreciate beauty yelled at her.
âTo injure him so badly, what deep grudge do you have against Yuan Qing?â
âIf anything happens to Big brother Yuan, just you wait to bear the consequencesâââ
Li Shinian responded with an embarrassed smile: âI also did not think I could beat him with one punch, but the sight of you guys bullying someone made me erupt in anger and I was unable to control my strengthâââ
âWhat does our bullying has to do with you?â The leader was a youth wielding a long sword, eyeing Li Shinian coldly as he said viciously: âYou injured our brother, donât you think you should give an explanation?â
Among the crowd, peeped out a chubby head.
After catching sight of Li Shinian standing at the entrance to the alley, Lu Tianyu exclaimed, âBig sister, how come youâre here?â
âBig sister?â
Everyone stared at Li Shinian in confusion.
Didnât Lu Tianyuâs big sister Lu Qiji went to Starry Sky Academy for further study? Where did another big sister come out from?
Li Shinian beckoned to Lu Tianyu, âLu Tianyu, hurry come over.â
Lu Tianyu was about to run, when someone grabbed his lapel.
The young man with a sword said in a mocking tone: âWant to run? Iâm afraid itâs not that easy. I had some business to settle with this boy, then you came and injured my peopleââlets settle the old and recent grudges together?â
Li Shinian eyed the sword boy with contempt, asking: âWhat is your name?â
âCui Shaofeng.â
âThe Cui family?â Li Shinianâs mind fretted.
It was said that her brother killed someone of the Cui family, therefore she was particularly sensitive to the people of the Cui family.
âCui Shaofeng, how old are you?â
âWhatâs the matter? Young ladyââDo you fancy me?â Cui Shaofeng pursed his lips and laughed.
âBrother Shaofeng, it must be so, youâre so handsome, this young lady must like youâââ
âYes yes, why else would she ask about the age of Brother Shaofeng? She wanted to see if her age matches with Brother Shaofengâsâââ
âIf you can become our sister-in-law, out of respect for Brother Feng, this matterââthere could be room for discussionâââ
âIâm blind.â Li Shinian suddenly stated.
The crowd looked at her eyes and said: âYouâre not blind.â
âYes. Your eyes are fine, how can you be blind?â
âShe deliberately said it, to make us relax and not dare do anything to herâââ
âRight? You can tell that Iâm not blind. If Iâm not blind, how would I have my eyes on a piece of trash?â Li Shinian said sharply.
âWhat did you say?â The crowd yelled.
Li Shinian fixed a stare on Cui Shaofeng. âCui Shaofeng, are you not ashamed of yourself? Youâre the oldest here, right? Youâre almost an adult, yet youâre hanging around with a group of children to bully a younger childââif I were you, I would simply crash my head into a wall and die.â
Cui Shaofeng darkened immensely, clutching his sword more tightly. âIt seems you do not want to leave today.â
âOf course I have to go. Not only do I have to go, but Iâm also taking Lu Tianyuâââ Li Shinian demanded. She pointed to Lu Tianyu and asked: âDo you know who he is? I donât believe that at the city of the emperor, you could do anything to himâââ
âOf course we canât do much to him.â Cui Shaofeng smiled sinisterly. âThe sort of thing like missing an arm or leg we wonât do it, but it may be possible that he would end up badly battered and unable to walk for 10 daysâââ
âUncle Luoâââ Li Shinian cried.
Wielding a long whip, Luo Xu strode over in huge steps, used his tall body to shield Li Shinian and calmly glared at Cui Shaofeng. âGive Young Master to me.â
Cui Shaofeng looked up and down at Luo Xu disdainfully as he scoffed: âWho are you? I have to give it when you tell me to?â
PAââ
Luo Xu lashed out his whip and Cui Shaofeng, who was about to draw his sword, was struck in the hand.
Luo Xu knew these guys are the sons of nobles, and without masterâs permission he must not hurt them. So there was a sense of discretion, his whip only left a bloodstain on Cui Shaofengâs hand and not directly lashed off his entire hand.
Bearing the pain, sweat beaded on Cui Shaofengâs forehead.
His hand clenching his sword trembled endlessly, to the point that the hilt of the blade also shook.
âYouâââ Cui Shaofeng fixed a piercing stare at Luo Xu, unable to contain his anger, he yelled: âYou are just dog of the Lu family, you dare to hit meââyou know who I am?â
âGive me back Young Master.â Luo Xu repeated. His voice was steady and his face calm. He did not say anything else and just demanded Cui Shaofeng to give back his young master.
âBrother Shaofengâââ The boy grabbing onto Lu Tianyu was a little scared, whispering: âWhat now?â
âDonât give him over.â Cui Shaofeng said forcefully. âI donât believe he could kill meââ
With his right hand shivering constantly, he threw the sword on the ground.
He smacked his chest loudly and yelled at Luo Xu: âCome on. Kill me if you have the abilityâââ
PAââ
Luo Xu snapped his long whip forward, lashing Cui Shaofengâs other hand.
This whip was heavier, blood splattered, his skin split and flesh broke forth.
âWhat do you want?â The boy who had his grip on Lu Tianyu was so nervous that he fumbled out a dagger and pointed the edge of the blade at the neck of Lu Tianyu, screaming: âIf you dare move closer, I will pierce his neckâââ
PAââ
Luo Xu flung out his whip, which coiled around the dagger, and he pulled, thrusting it into the distant wall.
PAââ
The dagger pierced into the hard stonewall, including the hilt.
While the youngsters were distracted, another whip was swung out, pulling Lu Tianyu into the air and Luo Xu caught hold of him.
Cui Shaofeng and the others looked at each other in dismay, and even Li Shinian seemed like she just saw a ghost.
âThe cart driver is aââa skilled master?â
