"You've got some nerve, haven't you? You've come to the outskirts of Shangyang City and instead of looking for me, you've started doing business with the Wen family. You don't want my family's wealth, but you're out there working hard to earn money. What is it about me that you don't like?"
Jun Jianchou was furious just looking at her.
“I also wanted to take advantage of you, but I just didn’t have any feelings for you. I couldn’t marry you against my conscience. I love money, but a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. So what’s wrong with me dealing with Wen Qixi? Although I’m not a gentleman, I am a highly educated intellectual.”
"I have a strong sense of pride in my bones."
Cen Xi leaned lazily against the couch, trying to justify herself.
"So what if you go against your conscience? Aren't feelings cultivated slowly? I'm good-looking, talented, capable, and rich. Why did you have to go through all this trouble?"
Yu Kuang looked at Cen Xi, recalling the scene he had witnessed that day, and felt a tightness in his chest. He said with great reluctance.
Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want some words of comfort?
Cen Xi looked at him with great interest.
"you…"
Yu Kuang was so angry with her that he wanted to go crazy.
"Fine, seeing how you are, I'll just tell you the truth. I'm afraid that after I marry you, I'll meet someone I like and I won't be able to resist cheating on you. I'm doing this for your own good, don't you think?"
Seeing Yu Kuang growing increasingly angry, Cen Xi closed her eyes and stabbed him with a knife.
Some things can only be established by breaking down the old; if he continues to have this kind of thinking, he might not even be able to find a wife in the future.
She didn't want to ruin his life because of herself.
After all, they've been friends since childhood.
"Cen Xi, isn't it enough that you angered me once? Do you have to stab me a few more times?"
Jun Jianchou's anger turned dark, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
"I'm saying all this really for your own good. If I were to have feelings for you, I wouldn't be doing it now; I would have done it before I even transmigrated. So... Yu Kuang, all I can say is I'm sorry."
Cen Xi saw the sadness in Yu Kuang's eyes, but she really couldn't bring herself to agree to his request against her will. Doing so would hurt both him and herself, so she spoke very seriously.
Upon hearing Cen Xi's words, Jun Jianchou's eyes darkened further, and he remained silent.
After a while, he turned and left Cen Xi's room.
Where are you going?
Cen Xi was afraid he would do something foolish, so she stepped forward to stop him and asked him.
I want to be alone for a while.
Jun Jianchou glanced at her calmly, then turned and left.
Cen Xi watched his unsteady gait, her raised hand stiffened, and she ultimately remained silent.
Five days ago, after a great battle at the gates of Feifeng Mountain, Cen Xi used formations and music to kill those people.
However, Cen Xi was still defeated by that scoundrel due to carelessness, and almost lost her life and virginity.
Because she can't move, she's been extremely nervous these days.
Fortunately, Yu Kuang knew her concerns and stayed on the mountain. To be honest, she was very touched.
But she just couldn't feel any affection for him.
Therefore, she could only betray this affection.
Cen Xi knew very well that her resolute rejection today was not only because she disliked him, but also because her heart had been thrown into turmoil the moment that scoundrel touched her.
She couldn't describe what that feeling was like.
It can probably be described as both strange and uncomfortable.
So after Yu Kuang left, she was also very irritable. She pushed open the door and left the courtyard.
She wandered aimlessly to Liu Ji's training base and watched them run with all their might, which made her feel relieved.
So she joined the team.
When they were exhausted and out of breath, they finally stopped and found a place to rest.
"Master, you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Liu Ji stepped forward and handed her a water pouch.
"Yes, it's very bad. Where did Young Master Jun go after he left my courtyard?"
Cen Xi took the water pouch, drank a sip of water, and asked in a muffled voice.
"It seems like he was standing on a cliff in the cold wind. He wasn't in a good mood today either. You... you had a fight with him?"
"I guess so, it's good that he's still here."
Cen Xi handed the water pouch to Liu Ji and said something indifferently.
"oh!"
Liu Ji didn't know how to mediate, so he just gave a curt reply.
Do you know any gangs in the martial arts world that are particularly skilled at killing people?
Cen Xi then remembered something else and asked.
"Oh, there are three most powerful assassin organizations in the martial arts world: Yan Jue Men, Si Hai Meng, and Yan Luo Dian. Yan Jue Men was killed by your sword five days ago, Master. You have two other options to choose from."
Liu Ji thought for a moment, then named three organizations and also explained who the group of people Cen Xi had killed five days ago were.
"How do the Four Seas Alliance and the Yama Palace charge their fees?"
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That depends on who is being killed; it varies from person to person."
Liu Ji said sincerely.
"How much money would it cost to kill the young Prime Minister Shen Jinchen?"
Cen Xi stared at Liu Ji and asked.
"It will probably require 100,000 taels of gold."
Liu Ji pursed his lips and thought for a moment before speaking.
"So expensive!"
Cen Xi's eyes widened; she never imagined that scoundrel was so valuable.
"This is just a conservative estimate. I've heard that Prime Minister Shen is skilled in both literature and martial arts. His Majesty once had the top scholars in the civil and military examinations of the last three years compete against him, but all of them failed. I've also heard that those three top martial arts scholars lost to him in a single move. So this man is very difficult to kill."
"They might not even take this business for 100,000 taels of gold."
Liu Ji told Cen Xi everything he knew.
"Damn it, this bastard is so powerful. 100,000 taels is too expensive, I'll kill myself from now on."
After saying this indignantly, Cen Xi felt sleepy again, so she waved to Liu Ji and went back.
Well!
Looking at Cen Xi's retreating figure, Liu Ji wanted to ask, "Master, what did Prime Minister Shen do to offend you that you insist on killing him?"
But seeing Cen Xi's retreating figure, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"What did she ask you? Why do you look like that?"
After Cen Xi left, Jun Jianchou appeared in front of Liu Ji at some point.
"Oh, Master asked which assassin organizations in the martial world could kill Prime Minister Shen. I said the Four Seas Alliance and the Yama Palace could, but they're too expensive. Master then said Prime Minister Shen is too expensive, and she'll kill him herself. Young Master, what grudge does Master have against Prime Minister Shen that makes him so determined to kill him?"
Liu Ji scratched his head, explained, and then asked the question that had been on his mind.
“That scoundrel deserves to die. It’s just 100,000 taels of gold, I can afford any amount. Don’t tell your master about this yet. I will do everything in my power to help her get what she’s angry about. Tell her after I’ve avenged her, and give her a surprise.”
Jun Jianchou was even angrier than Cen Xi when he thought of that man, and the fierce aura in his eyes was unmistakable.
"Does Young Master Jun have feelings for our master?"
For some reason, Liu Ji was bold enough to ask that question.
"Yes! But... but the flowers fall and the water flows on indifferently, and in the end, I gave my heart to the wrong person."
Jun Jianchou sighed, turned around and left.
Liu Ji was left standing there, eating a big melon.
