Chapter Fifteen: Carefree Everywhere
At the Wind-Welcoming Terrace of Tianji Palace, Yu Linglong and Qiu Xia were preparing to descend the mountain when they saw eight subordinates standing in a row, respectfully seeing Yu Linglong off.
Yu Linglong: "After I leave, everything in Tianji Palace will remain the same. Nothing should be neglected. I will return soon."
Upon hearing this, the eight subordinates responded in unison, "Your subordinates will obey the Palace Master's command!"
Yu Linglong glanced at everyone, then flew down from the Yingfeng Platform, followed by Qiu Xia.
The subordinates then said in unison, "We respectfully see you off, Palace Master, and wish you a safe and speedy return!"
Yu Linglong and Qiu Xia arrived at the market, exchanged two fast horses, and prepared dry food and fruit.
Yu Linglong: "Qiuxia, in order to save time, we must take the shortcut. Fill both water bags with water in case we run out of water on the way!"
Qiu Xia: "Understood, Palace Master. I'll go fetch water now." Once everything was ready, the two mounted their horses and headed south. Yu Linglong's graceful figure looked especially elegant on horseback. Despite her gentle and quiet demeanor, she was an excellent rider.
Qiu Xia: "Palace Master, I didn't expect you to ride so fast! I can't even keep up!"
Yu Linglong: "When my master was alive, he took me to travel around the world. The purpose was to broaden my experience and temper my mind and body. I have been to Southeast Asia many times."
Qiuxia: "I also have the opportunity to go to Southeast Asia this time. I haven't left Dongyue for so many years. I think those places must be more peaceful than here!" Qiuxia asked happily.
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong exclaimed, "Peace? When has the martial world ever been peaceful? Let's go, you'll know once you've been there!"
In the courtyard of the Yi residence, Murong Hanchan skipped and hopped, preparing to visit her senior brother, Xie Yunfeng. At that moment, several servants of the Yi residence whispered among themselves. The servant said, "Look at that girl, she's prettier than our young lady, but she doesn't look like a girl at all!"
B said, "That's right. Judging from her clothes, she should be a girl from a wealthy family, but look at her, she has no morals at all!"
Bing then remarked, "What is a beautiful woman? A beautiful woman is like our young lady—gentle, refined, and well-educated. Even if a woman like that is incredibly beautiful, which young master would dare to marry her?"
Murong Hanchan heard every word of these words and was immediately enraged. She stormed over in a huff.
The servants looked at each other as she approached, their expressions a mixture of confusion and unease. Murong Hanchan pointed at Jia and said coldly, "What did you just say about me?"
A glanced at B and C, and weakly replied, "Girls! I didn't say anything."
"Really?" Murong Hanchan glared coldly, then placed her right hand on A's shoulder, and an extremely cold aura surrounded A's body. A had no internal energy, and instantly, his lower body froze. B and C, seeing the danger, turned and ran in fright.
Murong Hanchan glared at her and shouted sharply, "Come back!"
Upon hearing this, the two hurriedly turned back, looking at Murong Hanchan with trepidation.
"Did I let you leave?"
Both of them were speechless upon hearing this, clearly showing some fear and some regret.
Murong Hanchan pointed at Jia again and said coldly, "Now, answer my question. If you utter even a single falsehood, I'll freeze your head!" Murong Hanchan said fiercely.
Startled, A hurriedly cried out, "Don't freeze! I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Murong Hanchan roared, "Then what did you just say about me?"
A, trembling with fear, said, "I said...I said...I said you're not like a girl!"
Murong Hanchan looked at Yi with a cold face and said, "And what did you say about me?"
Seeing that A was alright, B reassured him, "You have no morals!"
Murong Hanchan looked at Bing, who hurriedly said, "She can't get married!!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Hanchan flew into a rage, turned around and roared, "What did you say! That's not what you just said!"
Bing trembled with fright, his eyes darting around, and shouted, "No young master dares to take it!"
Murong Hanchan suppressed her anger and pointed at Jia, coldly saying, "You, slap him!" She glared angrily at Bing.
A looked at C, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, we know we were wrong, please forgive us!"
Murong Hanchan: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and hit me, or your head will freeze too!" A was a little scared, and with a slap, he hit C's left cheek.
C shouted, "You really want to hit me? I'll beat you to death!" As he spoke, he prepared to punch A.
Murong Hanchan angrily said, "You, you're not allowed to hit him! You hit him!" pointing at Yi.
C hesitated for a moment, then said to B, "He hit me, so don't blame me!" After saying that, he slapped B on the left cheek. After being hit, B looked at Murong Hanchan leisurely. Murong Hanchan gave him a signal, and B immediately understood. He then slapped A on the left cheek. Thus, the three of them started arguing.
Murong Hanchan angrily said, "Stop arguing with me, keep fighting! I'll let go of the other two and beat him up together if anyone is slow!" Upon hearing this, the three of them quickly shut up, and then the sound of slapping echoed.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Yunfeng opened the door and went out to investigate. To his surprise, he found it was his junior sister. Xie Yunfeng walked over and saw three servants hitting each other, all three with their left cheeks swollen and red. He knew that Murong Hanchan was behind it all.
Xie Yunfeng shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, you're being silly again. This is someone else's house. You need to remember you're a girl!" Then, with a wave of his energy, the ice under his armor melted instantly. Seeing this, the three of them scrambled and ran away.
Murong Hanchan angrily said, "Fine, Xie Yunfeng, I came all this way to see you early in the morning, only to be insulted by these idiots. I taught them a lesson, and you actually let them go? Humph!" She then turned away, refusing to look at Xie Yunfeng.
Xie Yunfeng laughed and said, "Even if they are not, this is still someone else's residence. How can you injure someone else's servants? What about the master's reputation? Besides, you are a young lady. When you are a guest, you should act like a lady!"
Murong Hanchan shouted, "Girl! Girl! Am I not a girl?! At home, I'm always being all polite and formal with those uncles and my father's friends. I feel so stifled! Now that I've finally managed to come out and have some fun, you come and try to control me! Let me tell you, Xie Yunfeng, at home my father is there, so I wouldn't dare hit you. But now, you'd better not mess with me. Hanchan's Twin Swords never discriminate!" She spoke angrily, her voice cold and arrogant. After finishing, she put her hands on her hips and blew on the ground.
At this moment, Yin Xiaosheng's voice rang out: "Senior Brother, you can't even control Junior Sister at home, let alone outside. If you want to control her, you'll have to find someone!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xie Yunfeng smiled at Yin Xiaosheng and said, "Second Junior Brother! Who could possibly control our Junior Sister? I'd like to meet this person!"
Yin Xiaosheng laughed and said, "This person is as obedient as a little lamb in front of our junior sister. Her voice is as soft as water and her movements are as elegant as silk. She is even more gentle and refined than a woman who has been well-versed in etiquette!"
After Yin Xiaosheng finished speaking, he was still chuckling. Chunxiang, who was next door, heard him and came out. At this moment, Murong Hanchan, however, calmed down, as if she hadn't experienced or heard any of this. Yes, she was thinking, she was thinking about Xiaoyao Lang. She had driven him away, and she wondered if he was doing well now.
When Xie Yunfeng saw Chunxiang arrive, he stepped forward and greeted her politely, "Miss Chunxiang, you've come!"
Chunxiang smiled and said, "This must be your junior sister, Miss Murong! She is truly beautiful, a beauty that rivals the most beautiful women in the world!"
Xie Yunfeng smiled and said, "Miss Chunxiang is too kind! Junior Sister, this is Miss Chunxiang!" As he spoke, he showed Chunxiang to Murong Hanchan.
Without even thinking, Murong Hanchan said, "This is your Chunxiang, not my Chunxiang."
After saying that, she leaped onto the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chunxiang and Xie Yunfeng were left behind, both feeling somewhat awkward. Xie Yunfeng quickly said, "I'm sorry, my junior sister has a very peculiar temper. Please don't take it to heart!"
Chunxiang smiled and said, "No! Miss Murong is extraordinary and unconventional, which is truly admirable."
Xie Yunfeng smiled and said, "This is my second junior brother!" Yin Xiaosheng bowed and said...
Yin Xiaosheng hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am Yin Xiaosheng, and I greet Miss Chunxiang!"
Chunxiang immediately cupped her hands and said, "Young Master Yin is too kind!"
Yin Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Miss Chunxiang, you call me Senior Brother Xie! Why don't you call me Brother Yin? I'm not very happy to hear that!" After saying that, he looked at Chunxiang with feigned disrespect.
Chunxiang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then Chunxiang will be honored to join you, Brother Yin!" After saying that, she cupped her hands and held her sword in a salute.
Yin Xiaosheng laughed and said, "Haha... I'm so happy! I'm really happy!" After saying that, he looked at Xie Yunfeng with interest, but Xie Yunfeng avoided his gaze.
At this moment, a servant arrived and said to Yin Xiaosheng, "Young Master Yin, our second young master has prepared a breakfast banquet in the west wing. He has instructed that you invite everyone to attend."
Yin Xiaosheng replied confidently, "Tell your second young master that we will be there shortly!"
