"Chen Jiao!"
"Miss Chen!"
The two spoke in unison, calling out to Shen Jiao at the same time, one male and one female, but their tones were completely different.
The male voice subtly suppressed some unknown, pent-up anger, while the female voice was clear and serene, sounding as if she had something to ask for.
Shen Jiao turned around.
First, they saw Yu Wushuang dressed in the uniform of the Sword Casting Manor. Her hair was simply styled and her makeup was light and clear. She immediately caught their eye and had a heroic and dashing appearance.
Her eyes lit up. As expected of the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, she was indeed beautiful.
And the person who came after... was Shen Qingye, the tyrant's little enemy.
Although it is unknown what the Second Young Master Shen of the Marquis of Anbo's mansion did to incur the wrath of the vengeful Princess Ji.
However, every grievance has its source and every debt its debtor. If you're angry, go find the tyrant. Why glare at her with eyes that seem to "eat people without spitting out bones"?
You really can't help having nightmares!
She glared back at him!
Shen Qingye: "!!!"
"What business do you two have with my young lady?" Xi Su and Xi Ning were still upset about what had happened at the palace, so they immediately became alert and shielded Shen Jiao behind them.
It is a maid's duty to protect her master, and Yu Wushuang was not angry because of the maid's attitude.
She immediately stated her purpose, "Miss Chen, I am Yu Wushuang from the Sword Casting Manor. I have some things I would like to discuss with you. Would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"
Although they knew each other, Yu Wushuang still politely and humbly introduced himself.
She originally planned to save Shen Jiao during the contest between the Southern Whip King and Shen Jiao, using the debt of saving her life as leverage to negotiate with him. However, the contest that everyone was looking forward to turned out to be a blunder.
Having no other choice, she had to find Shen Jiao when the tyrant was away. This was her last chance, and also Mu Yang's last chance.
"Convenient, convenient. Miss Yu, have you found a place?" Shen Jiao nodded eagerly.
Please, she couldn't be more convenient. She now regards Yu Wushuang as her goddess. If she stays any longer, she'll be burned to ashes by Shen Qingye's gaze.
The thief was fierce, terrifying, and unreasonable.
"Huh?" Yu Wushuang was somewhat surprised that Shen Jiao was so easy to talk to.
No, you just agreed like that?
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
She glanced at Shen Qingye, then immediately came to her senses. "Then let's go to Lord Li's residence."
Although other places were safe, she wouldn't dare take Shen Jiao there without the tyrant's permission.
"Sure, sure." Shen Jiao was fine with going anywhere, even chatting in the outhouse was no problem.
The only requirement is that Shen Qingye, that furious fighting rooster, isn't around!
She took a couple of steps before realizing she didn't know which way to go.
Shen Jiao looked around, trying to find the way, but she couldn't find that chubby and cute figure anywhere.
Strange, the tyrant isn't here, and neither is Li Wanglai. Could it be that he accidentally flattered the tyrant and got dragged to some remote corner and forgotten?
However, Shen Jiao thought about it and rejected the guess.
Given Ji Sansui's utterly immoral character, she would kill whoever she wanted on the spot, and would probably invite hundreds of people to watch, so it's impossible for her to do it secretly.
So, what were these two, the emperor and his minister, up to?
...
Shen Jiao didn't know the way, but fortunately Yu Wushuang had been there once before. The two of them completely ignored Shen Qingye, treating him as if he were invisible, and turned around and left.
Xi Su and Xi Ning stayed behind to guard Shen Qingye, fearing that he might chase after them and start a fight...
No, I mean I chased after them to cause trouble for my own daughter.
Those girls are so gentle and lovely, they're so fragile they can't even take care of themselves, they wouldn't fight!
Shen Qingye saw that Shen Jiao glanced at him and then ignored him, which made his back teeth grind in anger.
Despite his anger, when he saw Shen Jiao's gaze, which was as if she were looking at a stranger, he felt as if a stone was stuck in his chest, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Qingye was so troubled that his internal organs felt uncomfortable.
Is it because they've climbed onto the tyrant's coattails that they dare to so brazenly pretend not to know him?
In the past, Shen Jiao would always respectfully call him Second Brother, no matter what, but it didn't matter whether she did or not, it made him feel nauseous.
Therefore, every time Shen Jiao called him "Second Brother," he would stop her with extreme disgust. He only needed a sister like Shen Yu, and he only had one sister, Shen Yu!
But now, Shen Jiao's silence made him very unhappy.
I really wanted to grab Shen Jiao by the collar and demand an explanation: How could she be so rude? So ill-mannered? Did they teach her manners like pigs?!
"How dare you two lowly lackeys block my way? Do you know who I am?!" Shen Qingye shouted angrily at Xi Su and Xi Ning, who were blocking his path.
Xi Su and Xi Ning pretended not to hear. Did it really matter who it was?
No status could possibly compare to His Majesty's, could it? And no matter how important someone is, could they be more important than a young lady?
Furthermore, don't look down on people so easily; they were raised in fear of tyrants!
Ordinary threats are about as easy as tickling an itch.
The maid's attitude infuriated Shen Qingye to the point of liver pain. "Let me tell you, I am the son of Marquis Anbo! If you don't move aside, I'll be ruthless. Your lives are as easy as crushing an ant in my hands, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Xi Su scoffed, "There's no way there could be ants as big as us."
“That’s right.” Xi Ning also scoffed, “Bragging.”
Xi Su: "Unless you just crush us to death right now."
Xi Ning: "Yes, otherwise we wouldn't believe it."
Shen Qingye: "..."
So cheeky and improper, she's obviously a maid brought out by Shen Jiao!
