Wu Yi had been holding back this anger for a long time, ever since that figure barged into his life alone, defeated all his guards, and crushed all his pride.
Wu Yi hated him! He hated Ye Tian! How dare he! He was Wu Yi, the future king! How dare he treat him like this?
They saved me, but refused to hand over the lowly maid they were trying to assassinate. And they dared to treat me like this.
Once Wu Yi returns to the Wu Dynasty, he will surely exterminate Ye Tian's entire clan. All males will be executed by slow slicing, and all females will be exiled to the army!
Only then can the hatred in his heart be relieved!
It's not just about hating Ye Tian.
Wu Yi hated those guards even more! They were all useless! Especially Wang Dongming.
He usually acts all high and mighty, always putting on airs like a hermit.
They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings when they meet Ye Tian.
They were all defeated generals, Wu Yi's men! It was all these people!
A subject who humiliates his lord shall die!
When Wu Yi returns to the Wu Dynasty, he will order the execution of all these people and their families!
There are also academies!
If it weren't for this rotten place sending Ye Tian to rescue him, he wouldn't have been humiliated and lost his dignity.
When Wu Yi returned to the Wu Dynasty, he sent troops to destroy this tiny place.
The time for returning to the capital is approaching.
Wu Yi had already planned everything for the future. As for the thrilling dangers and the struggle for the throne along the way, they were all within his grasp.
The reason why Heaven made him suffer so much in Fengchao was to wait for the day when a great responsibility would be bestowed upon his shoulders.
Unfortunately, Wu Yi only knew that Heaven was about to bestow a great responsibility upon someone. He didn't realize that some people are just unlucky, and this so-called great responsibility could crush them to death.
For example, Wu Yi, who was in a great mood, entered the room and saw the curtains tremble, as if a beautiful figure was sitting inside. Upon closer inspection, he saw the alluring features of a beautiful woman, which truly delighted him.
Wu Yi scoffed inwardly. The City Lord's Mansion certainly knew how to get things done. They even knew to send such a beauty to his room. It was just a pity they only realized they needed to curry favor with him now—such last-minute scrambling.
Wu Yi didn't take it to heart and walked towards the money. Gently pulling back the curtain, he saw the beautiful woman's delicate and charming appearance, and his heart almost stopped beating.
What a nice view.
He felt he had seen those features somewhere before, but lately he had been frequenting brothels and similar establishments. He had seen the same makeup and face many times before.
The woman was indeed stunningly beautiful, but she had nothing particularly special about her.
Wu Yi chuckled lightly, reaching out to pinch the beauty's slender neck with its fair skin and delicate bones. His palm, as large as a palm leaf, slapped towards her fair cheek, showing no tenderness whatsoever, his eyes filled with cold indifference.
Liu Rushi flicked her arm and turned her palm. The hidden sword shot straight at Wu Yi in a flash. A look of terror appeared in Wu Yi's eyes, and he was about to run away.
Her martial arts skills were all prepared for this day. Once she made her move, how could she give Wu Yi a chance to escape? Before Wu Yi could even utter a word, his throat was pierced.
Liu Rushi drew her dagger almost without thinking. An assassin's instinct made her scan the area and then start running.
Escape.
This was an instinctive action she had trained for so many years; even if she were to die, she absolutely could not die in the city lord's mansion.
Otherwise, all our efforts would be in vain. The Western Regions cannot withstand such immense pressure.
But even if she wanted to die here, the people behind the scenes wouldn't allow her to die here.
...
She guessed right.
Ye Tian wouldn't let her die here. If Liu Rushi were killed by the city lord's guards, then this entire elaborate scheme to frame her would fail.
If Liu Rushi's assassination attempt had succeeded a few days ago, these tasks should have been carried out by people from the Western Regions.
Now that I've seized control of this game and repositioned the pieces, I naturally have to take charge of maintaining order.
The little assassin Liu Rushi moved nimbly through the crowd, and in a few quick movements, she arrived at the side gate of the city lord's mansion.
Unfortunately, there was a large array set up by the academy, so she had no way to escape.
Liu Rushi's pretty face was pale and her lips were blue.
Just as she was wondering what to do, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
When Liu Rushi turned around, she saw Ye Tian with a completely indifferent face.
"Come with me." Ye Tian grasped her delicate shoulders, and with a slight exertion, his spiritual energy lifted her body. Simply lifting her shoulders wasn't enough; only spiritual energy could do it. He then coated her with a thin film of Confucian righteous energy.
Ye Tian led Liu Rushi past the city lord's mansion.
Behind them lay the corpse of the Crown Prince of the Wu Dynasty, and not far ahead was the town of Shuyuan.
Once outside the city lord's mansion, Liu Rushi no longer wanted to wander around.
Besides the academy, the Jiaofangsi (a music and dance academy) where she had worked for many years was actually not far away.
This bookstore is neither too big nor too small.
She had been here for several years and knew quite a few people. She handed Ye Tian a money pouch and said that she had recently commissioned a musician to compose a piece of music. The money was supposed to be settled next time, but she figured there wouldn't be a next time, so she asked Ye Tian to settle the debt on her behalf.
Ye Tian put away his money pouch and watched her sitting by the Book City River. At night, the river shimmered and the candlelight was cool. The lanterns and fireworks from all around were most clearly visible from here.
It's gorgeous.
Unfortunately, there's nothing here during the day, just a river. Without anyone to embellish it, it's just a river after all.
For example, even the most stunning courtesan isn't as beautiful when she's not smiling.
Ye Tian threw a stone into the river, which sent many water droplets floating and creating ripples.
"To choreograph music for your dance?" Ye Tian asked.
Liu Rushi hugged the two beautiful legs, buried her head in them, and nodded, saying, "Mmm."
"Let me see," Ye Tian said.
"good."
Liu Rushi's smile held a touch of melancholy. This dance had never been performed before and was even more beautiful than the sword dance that had been so dazzling that day.
Every opening and closing of a beautiful woman's eyes, every movement and stillness, is heart-wrenching.
It's hard to interrupt.
Ye Tian was completely mesmerized until she finished the dance and stopped moving.
She didn't speak, just stood there silently gazing at the emerald green lake.
"Does this dance have a name yet?"
"not yet."
Let's go.
"You're not going to kill me?" Liu Rushi was stunned, and she asked.
Ye Tian threw another pebble into the lake, and it bounced several times. He smiled and said, "Give this dance a name, and I'll take you away from the book city."
“If you don’t kill me, someone else will,” Liu Rushi said.
Ye Tian stopped throwing stones and said calmly, "Once you've named this dance, come to our sect. There shouldn't be many people who can bully you then."
