Chapter 349 He wasn't injured, but he looked pretty bad.
He wasn't actually injured, but he looked rather pathetic, as if he were less skilled than others.
Oh, he's just not as skilled.
Looking at her brother's masterpiece, Yu Zhiyi's eyes lit up with a smile: "Brother, let's go."
Jiang Liuyi's icy expression instantly melted, and his handsome face softened with tenderness: "Okay."
Du Ziheng didn't notice anything unusual about his body, after all, it was just that his clothes were torn and his skin was scratched.
He stared at Yu Zhiyi in astonishment, then at Jiang Liuyi: "Yi'er, what do you call him?"
Yu Zhiyi frowned: "Don't call me Yi'er, we're not familiar with each other."
Du Ziheng felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his face, which had been flushed from the fight, turned deathly pale in an instant.
They'd been married for almost half a year, and she actually said they weren't close?
He tried to chase after her, but Jiang Liuyun stopped him: "Get lost, you scumbag! You said you wanted to win back my sister, but you brought your mistress to our door?"
"Pah!"
He rolled his eyes: "Let me tell you, although our Martial Alliance may not be as prestigious as the Prime Minister's Mansion, the daughters of the Martial Alliance are not to be bullied by just anyone. If you dare to come up here again and spout those disgusting things to annoy my sister, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"I'm not..."
Jiang Liuyun ignored the man's excuses and said to the guards at the gate, "Remember this man's face. Oh, and that woman over there too. Our Martial Alliance doesn't welcome this pair of adulterers!"
He snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Li Changhuai who had come to the door, and then chased after Yu Zhiyi and the others in the direction they had left.
Li Changhuai said helplessly, "Brother Youlin, the Martial Alliance doesn't welcome us. Let's come back tomorrow."
Du Ziheng just stared blankly in the direction Yu Zhiyi left, without replying.
Li Changhuai was even more helpless: "Stop looking, she won't come back no matter how much you look. Let's go to the city and find a place to stay first, and then come back for the competition tomorrow."
Although Jiang Liuyun made some harsh remarks, he was not the real person in charge after all. At most, he could only prevent the Martial Alliance from providing them with accommodation.
Actually, his accommodation had been arranged in advance. He could also bring Du Ziheng and the other person to her place, since the place was quite spacious and they could stay comfortably.
But the host has made it clear that they are not welcome, so how could they possibly have the nerve to move into their house?
Yu Zhiyi and her group had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Since the mission was to rescue people, Yu Zhiyi planned to travel light and ride a horse.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, she habitually cast a divination. Seeing the result, she instructed a guard, "You stay here and arrange two carriages. We will leave marks on the road later; just follow the marks to find your way here."
The guard, who had come with her from Shengjing, replied, "Yes."
The group then prepared to set off.
Someone had already brought over a tall, fine horse.
Just as he was about to mount his horse, another group of people came towards him.
It turned out to be the two Song brothers.
The two brothers were accompanied by a girl.
Yu Zhiyi had never met that girl before, but the girl glared at her fiercely when they met.
She glanced at the girl, puzzled, and realized that she had indeed seen her before, but had simply forgotten about her because she was an unimportant person.
Previously, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an had gotten involved with a troublesome woman, but his attitude was firm enough and he did not do anything particularly impolite.
Even so, the young girl, who had been rejected for the first time in her life, still held a grudge and resented Yu Zhiyi, her "employer".
"Miss Jiang, Young Master Jiang, Fifth Young Master Jiang, what are you going to do?"
"Young Master Song asked curiously."
Although the Second Young Master Song has a mature face, his personality is as enthusiastic and cheerful as most teenagers.
At this moment, he was curiously observing Yu Zhiyi, his eyes filled with undisguised inquiry and admiration.
"I have something to take care of and need to go out for a bit."
Yu Zhiyi offered a perfunctory explanation, but it was as good as no explanation at all.
The two members of the Song family didn't say anything, but Miss Wei was displeased: "What kind of attitude is that?"
Her expression was haughty: "Do you know who these two are?"
Yu Zhiyi glanced at the two members of the Song family indifferently.
They caused this trouble, so they should be the ones to deal with it.
She didn't have time to pay attention to this inexplicable competition between women.
Young Master Song understood the meaning in her glance and said coldly to Miss Wei, "We are just two commoners, no different from the general public. Miss Wei, you like to be arrogant, but don't lump us together with you."
Miss Wei was both shocked and panicked.
Although her ultimate goal was to use someone else's name to establish her authority, she was still trying to establish the authority of the two young masters Song. It's one thing for the eldest young master Song not to thank her, but why should he blame her?
Having seen through her little scheme, Young Master Song said he neither thanked her nor dared to.
The Song Prefect's household didn't have many messy affairs because he only had one wife, Madam Song. He didn't take any concubines or maids.
However, this does not mean that the two young masters of Song are unaware of some of the tricks and methods used in the inner quarters of the household.
After all, not all of their peers were like them, having only one brother.
Those who can live peacefully to adulthood in wealthy and powerful families are either naive and innocent with absolutely pure hearts, or clever people with a belly full of schemes.
Compared to the secret affairs of the inner quarters, Miss Wei's little tricks are utterly insignificant.
The Song family wanted to befriend Yu Zhiyi, and when they saw that she was going out, the Song brothers offered to accompany her.
Yu Zhiyi originally didn't want to agree, but the two said they wanted to follow her to broaden their horizons.
Yu Zhiyi thought of the jade pieces that Young Master Song had given her, which were worth far more than the life-saving grace, and agreed.
"I want to go too!"
Suppressing her jealousy, Miss Wei forced herself to appear calm.
However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of sharpness.
Without Yu Zhiyi saying anything, or even the Jiang brothers needing to speak, Young Master Song's face darkened, and he coldly refused: "No need, I don't like traveling with people I don't know well."
People I don't know well!
Miss Wei was immediately embarrassed.
She wasn't familiar with the Song brothers, but she found out through some channels that they would be going up the mountain today, so she waited at the foot of the mountain for a romantic chance encounter.
Her father said that if she couldn't find a good way out for herself, she would have to marry the leader of the Tang Clan as his second wife.
The leader of the Tang Clan is highly skilled in martial arts. Although his reputation in the martial arts world is mixed, his prestige is quite good.
Marrying him would be a great honor.
The problem is, he's already over fifty years old, almost old enough to be her grandfather.
The reason she wanted to take in that young guard was the only chance she could give herself to indulge herself.
Unfortunately, it failed.
The man was ungrateful, and she didn't want to marry an old man, so she could only try to win over the person with the highest status in Tianan County.
However, neither of them understood romance.
She even revealed her little scheme in public.
No matter how much she schemed and plotted, she was still just a teenage girl, not thick-skinned enough. She immediately stomped her foot in shame and indignation, and with tears in her eyes, she used her light-footed skills to fly up the mountain.
