"Your young master?"
The knife-cut man sneered.
"You were just saying you had a relationship with Miss Yang Beini, how come you're a young master now? Keep making things up! Keep making things up!"
"Sigh!" Qiao Suinian sighed and shook her head. "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be met with estrangement and prejudice in return."
"Since that's the case, I'll stop pretending! I'm laying my cards on the table! Young master, please forgive me for taking the liberty of revealing your identity!"
"You snobbish jerk, open your eyes and look at me properly!"
Qiao Suinian held up the plaque, on which was written the character "Gu" in a flamboyant style.
The man with the razor-sharp jaws narrowed sharply, as if he had just experienced an earthquake; his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"The Gu...Gu family! The Gu family of Kyoto!"
The knife-cut man screamed, his voice as shrill as a duck being choked.
Upon hearing his exclamation, the Qian family carriage, which had just entered Beihe City, immediately stopped.
"The Kyoto Gu family!"
"Qian Er, quick, turn back immediately! If the elders of the Gu family in Kyoto show up, I must pay them a visit!"
The androgynous voice inside the carriage sounded extremely urgent.
"Yes, sir!"
Qian Er pulled on the iron chain, and in pain, the Frost Raider immediately turned its head and rushed towards the gate.
Qian Er's gaze was also somewhat fiery.
Although he didn't know what the Gu family of Kyoto meant, any family that could establish itself in a place like Kyoto must be a truly important figure!
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
A deathly silence spread through everyone like a plague.
An eerie silence suddenly fell outside the city walls of Beihai.
Qiao Suinian’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. He had thought that Gu Hanyin’s background was not simple, but he did not expect it to be this simple. She was from a family in Kyoto!
The man with the knife-cut face stared at the nameplate with the character "Gu" on it, remaining motionless for a long time.
With his knowledge and experience, he simply couldn't tell whether the plaque in front of him was real or fake.
If it's true, and he continues to obstruct it, then his fate will definitely be to die a gruesome death.
If it was fake, but he was blind to the truth and let the person pass by, then when the matter is investigated and he is held accountable, he will still be executed without a trace.
This put the knife-cut man in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.
etc!
The knife-cut man suddenly realized what was happening.
If a big shot from Kyoto were to arrive, the officials in Kitakawa City would surely receive the news before him and come out to greet him. How could it be a nobody like him?
The more the knife-cut man thought about it, the more sense it made.
He remembered that several times before, when important figures from Kyoto were leaving or entering the city, he, a nobody, never even had the chance to see what they looked like.
Combined with Qiao Suinian's previous attempts to muddy the waters, the knife-cut man became increasingly certain that this was definitely a lie!
"Kid! I almost fell for your trick!"
The knife-cut man grinned maliciously.
"How dare you forge the Kyoto Gu family's travel permit! You truly deserve to die!"
Um?
Qiao Suinian was also stunned. How could this be a fake? He had personally taken it off Gu Hanyin's corpse. It was the real deal!
No, the item is real, this knife-cut man is suspecting me! Qiao Suinian realized this instantly.
"Take them all down!" The knife-cut man had already given the order.
The Qian family members returned after leaving, but they did not appear; instead, they observed from the shadows.
If there really is a madman impersonating a member of the Gu family, and they actually believe him, then it would be a huge misunderstanding. It would be better to observe the situation first.
A dozen or so city guards surrounded them, and Qiao Suinian sneered when he saw this.
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!"
Qiao Suinian respectfully cupped his hands towards Gu Hanyin.
"Young master, please punish these arrogant fools!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four black-robed figures behind him lifted their robes, revealing white, gleaming skeletons beneath.
"What...what kind of monster is this? Why is it still moving even though it's just a skeleton? This doesn't make sense!"
Someone couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Looking at the skeleton clad in armor, everyone present gasped and got goosebumps.
"Kill those charlatans! Tear down all those skeletons!"
The knife-wielding man shouted coldly and attacked, surrounding the four small skeletons.
Taking advantage of their inattention, Qiao Suinian gently tapped each of the four little skeletons with her left hand, casting the Resurrection spell on them, instantly boosting their strength.
"Young master is mighty!"
After doing all this, Qiao Suinian stood there cheering like a lackey.
Faced with the combined attack of the knife-wielding man and his companions, three small skeletons clad in armor stood in front, taking the brunt of the first wave of attacks with their own bodies.
However, even though they withstood the attack head-on, they did not suffer any fatal damage. Their armor was slightly damaged, and some of their bones were charred black.
"How can these bones be so hard?!"
The man with the razor-sharp face changed, and then he saw the small skeleton without armor that had been hiding in the back. His eyes lit up instantly.
"Three men, take down that skeleton in the back first!"
"yes!"
Three well-coordinated city guards charged towards the small skeleton behind them. The skeleton's thin frame looked as if it were about to crumble at any moment, and it pitifully clutched a rusty longsword in its hand.
