Chapter 23 – Li
Dawn rose
However, stor seemed they would strike down soon
When Meng Fuyao led her horse to enter Yanjing’s city gate, her heart still had a vague feeling of nervousness Yet, once she saw the excited but peaceful crowds on the expansive, large street, she suddenly calmed down
What was she afraid of? Nowould happen at the Tai Yuan Palace, what did it have to do with an ordinary citizen like her?
Because the E, everyone would celebrate together on that day Both the imperial capital and the various province capitals each set up Daoist rituals to chant holy scriptures and honor the ancestors, while craftsmen filled the two sides of the s and silk cloths The entire city of Yanjing looked bustling, wealthy, and colorful, with a festive and splendid scene filling one’s eyes
Ten li before entering the city, Yuan Zhaoxu had separated fro to follow hiood for her, and so in that moment she walked forward alone without hesitation
When Zhaoxu said goodbye to her, his expression was as usual The eyes that were like the deep sea held a light sn of internal emotions Master Yuanbao, however, seemed very happy It hopped up and down in satisfaction,of joy that co this Fuyao becaer she yanked out another three hairs on its butt – putting it nicely, it could be considered her parting gift
As for whether that one would harbor resent Fuyao didn’t care at all
After finding an inn to rest at, Meng Fuyao went out for soht a ar person[1], purely just idling away time
The things quickly piled up in her hands With a pastry person stuck in her mouth she walked back to her roo through the crowd, probably up to his usual “work” again She couldn’t help but laugh
Due to this laugh, some of her attention was diverted, and so when she turned past a corner her eyes weren’t looking Suddenly, she heard an erupting of galloping hooves while a white shadow flashed past – from behind the corner immediately burst out a horse, its pace extre a person in front blocking its way, the horse’s feet lifted up and kicked towards Meng Fuyao!
Aoers’ surprised cries, the person on top of the horse anxiously yelled, “White Lightning! Halt!”
Fuyao raised her head The white horse’s large hooves had already reached in front of her eyes Instinctively, Meng Fuyao wanted to use a powerful blow to break the hooves, but with a glance out of the corners of her eyes, she found that it was a fine steed Thinking it a pity, her hand retracted, and she drifted up With a “shua” sound she leaped onto the back of the horse, all the while still holding onto that bag of stuff she bought
The person on the horse had originally left his residence with his hts the whole journey It was only because of this that he had urged the horse to run too fast and risk injuring others Just when he was regretting his carelessness, he unexpectedly saw that girl underneath the horse suddenly leap onto the horse, stably landing behind him Shocked, he couldn’t help but let out an “Ah!” sound
Instinctively twisting his head back, he let out yet another “Ah!” sound
At the sa Fuyao also shouted out
The youth on the horse was gentle and handsoraceful – who else could he be, other than her first love as about to marry a luxury bitch?
Fuyao narrowed her eyes, inwardly sighing that enemies truly encounter each other everywhere in life Just look at Yan Jingchen’s red rosy face! He ood time these past few days
If Yan Jingchen knehat she was thinking right now, he rievance His face was clearly haggard and pale, his thoughts absent, and furthermore because of that scene today when his father warned hihtened his horse fro Fuyao! Who knew that, when this appearance reached her eyes, it had somehow become a rosy face
Fuyao didn’t care about any of this, however She had always believed that after breaking up with so a better ti her, her mood would become very bad
The chen in front with an expression of shocked joy, Meng Fuyao becaruntled, and with a turn she went to dismount
Before she couldFuyao slanted her head, not looking at Yan Jingchen but only staring at her wrist With a chilly voice she said, “Release me”
Jingchen hesitated for a second Thinking of that day in the Profound OriginFuyao had attacked with such ruthlessness, he aardly retracted his hand, then softly said, “Fuyao …”
Meng Fuyao cochen beca to block in front of her Clenching his teeth he said, “Fuyao, hear , otherwise you can just chop my hand off!”
Fuyao frohile looking at the arm horizontally in front of her, then looked at the crowd of people around the, she replied, “Little Marquis Ye, you have quite the good plan huh? You want me to chop your hand off in front of all these people in this public square? Isn’t that just bringing down bad luck on myself?”
“That wasn’t chen took back his hand, fixedly staring at Meng Fuyao “Fuyao, how about we go find a place to sit and talk this over?”
”If you need to fart just let it out here[2] Meng Fuyao cli her refusal to sit together with him
The crowds of people all orderly turned their heads, looking at that young girl as crouching on top of the horse like no one was around They couldn’t help but point and stare, while Meng Fuyao only pretended she didn’t notice anything
Seeing her eccentric and hed, and slowly spurred the horse to go past the street Only after entering a sh, did he say in a low voice, “Fuyao, ? These past few daysoil …”
“Is that it? I’ ready to hop off the horse
“No!” Yan Jingchen becas, his words rapidly rushi+ng out “The reason why my father wants me to marry Pei Yuan, isForm’ is a world-famous first-rate martial technique Father hopes that I can obtain the Thunder Shaking For Wind sword art, then go on to make a name for myself at the True Martial conference …”
“What does that have to do with me?” Fuyao yawned
