677: Assault III

Assault III

Gu Yiyi was quite shocked. She lifted her head, stunned, and gazed at Feng Ruqing.2

Suddenly, her nose twitched as she felt a lump in her throat.

It seemed that, besides her father, nobody really cared about her before… 

"What about you?"

"In Liu Yun Kingdom, it's not that easy for someone to kill me. Still, don't forget to prepare the spirit herbs, Paramount will not accept any spirit herbs that are lower than Grade-5!

"Oh."

Gu Yiyi understood and nodded.

'If she says she will be fine, then she should… be fine, right?'

As Gu Yiyi was still in doubt, Feng Ruqing threw that two-hundred-and-fifty-pound away with a sudden burst of strength. Gu Yiyi was bounced outside the city gate, shrieking her way there… 

Gu Yiyi was so frightened she had burst into tears. In her teary eyes, she seemed to see a man dressed in purple, wearing a mask, landing in front of Feng Ruqing… 

That guy seemed to be very powerful. Even though she did not get to see the green-robed crowds' expression, she could still feel their fear.

Then… 

Gu Yiyi's heart calmed down immediately.

'She seems to be right, it's not easy for anyone to fight her… '

As Gu Yiyi started to relax, her body automatically fell down and… 

Splash! 

She had landed in a cesspool as her scream was buried… 

***

On the streets.

No passerby was on the streets since earlier that day.

The surrounding was unsettlingly peaceful.

Even the autumn breeze was blowing in a shady and cold way.

The green-robed man's face was pale as he subconsciously took two steps backward. His lips quivered as his eyes were wild with horror.

Why… why was he back so soon?

The corners of Jiu Ming's lips lifted into an evil cold smile as he slowly approached the green-robed man.

"Second Elder has purposely set me up and ordered me here, just because he wanted to hurt Xiao Qing'er? Who've given you guys the courage to lay your finger upon my people in Liu Yun Kingdom!" 

The green-robed man was shivering. "I… I don't know what are you saying."

Second Elder had told him before that, no one should find out about their relationship before they were allowed to enter the reclusive world.

"Does my second uncle think that I'm a fool, or does he think all the people in the world are fools?" Jiu Ming's eyes landed on the green-robed man as he looked down at him condescendingly. "In Liu Yun Kingdom, nobody can lay a finger on her even if I have not returned!"

The green-robed man shivered under the man's ghastly and cold vigor. He could hardly stand on his feet and the long sword, which he tightly held in his hand, was shaking as well.

"Manor Lady!"

A green light flashed from not far away. Then, a girl who was dressed in green ruqun[1] anxiously rushed toward Feng Ruqing.

The green-robed man's eyes widened. "Dark… Intermediate Dark Warrior tier?"

'An Intermediate Dark Warrior tier powerhouse but to address Feng Ruqing as Manor Lady...

'Didn't Second Elder say that this royal princess is only a small potato?

'Why does she have a Dark Warrior female servant serving her?'

"Manor Lady, earlier, someone informed me that you've been assaulted? Are you okay now?"

Hong Yu's face was pale.

Rage and murderous intention flooded her heart.

Her anger boiled, especially when she saw the wound on Feng Ruqing's arms. She clenched her fists tightly. 

'Damn it!'

Manor Lady was wounded even when she was under her protection!

Therefore, she would never let go of anyone who had recklessly hurt Manor Lady!

"Manor Lady, I'll dress your wound first, and then… "

"It's okay."

It was only a minor injury. The spirit herbs would be enough of healing it; it did not have to be so troublesome.

Although Suyi did not know what had happened, she had followed Hong Yu here as she saw Hong Yu hurrying off from the princess manor earlier.
