Chapter 1282: Chapter 1284: Targeted by Sangta_1 Chapter 1282: Chapter 1284: Targeted by Sangta_1 Bai Ruozhu’s heart skipped a beat.
Hadn’t they said that the Barbarian Clan’s summoning order had been issued and Sangta wouldn’t return for a while?
And why was he so concerned about who had saved Jin Wanliang?
Jiang Yichun then stood in front of Bai Ruozhu with a cold face, in a stance that suggested no one was allowed to touch his woman.
Following the direction pointed out by Jin Wanliang, Sangta mistook Jiang Yichun as the one Jin Wanliang was referring to.
He studied Jiang Yichun and said, “I didn’t expect Zhongyuan to have such an amazing doctor.
Not bad, not bad.”
Seeing Sangta’s misunderstanding, Jiang Yichun did not explain; instead, he acknowledged the mistake with a hum and nodded slightly at Sangta.
Just then, Jin Jing suddenly shouted, “It was that woman who cured the poison.
She said that the Barbarian Clan’s ferocious beasts are nothing and there’s nothing she can’t cure.”
‘Despicable!’ Jiang Yichun cursed under his breath, and flung a copper coin.
A clanging sound followed; the Lin family head leaped forward with his sword to block the copper coin, but he was forced to retreat several steps upon landing, and his sword even got dented from the impact.
“Good inner strength,” the Lin family head couldn’t help but praise, but everyone on Jiang Yichun’s side knew that, in order to not reveal his identity, Jiang Yichun had suppressed his inner strength; the coin throw was just a fraction of his power, perhaps only three or four out of ten.
Jiang Yichun looked at the Lin family head and said, “You have your responsibilities as a protector, and I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but this woman is spreading rumors and causing trouble.
She cannot be allowed to stay!”
The Lin family head’s face turned sowhat awkward.
He naturally knew that Jin Jing’s words were slanderous and aid to harm soone else’s wife, even endangering their rchant Team.
By the rules of the road, it wouldn’t be wrong even if they killed her.
However, he had taken Jin Wanliang’s money and had promised to protect Jin Wanliang and his daughter no matter what.
Bound by the money he had taken, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and step forward.
“Boss Bai, Miss Jin is young and ignorant.
I beg you to let her off this ti for the sake of my face and Mr.
Jin’s,” the Lin family head said, though he knew Jiang Yichun would have a hard ti sparing Jin Jing’s life if he insisted.
Sangta glanced at Jiang Yichun, not showing much doubt.
In the world of travelling rchants, there were many with great martial skills, and Jiang Yichun, with suppressed inner strength, could only be considered an ordinary expert.
Jiang Yichun said to the Lin family head, “I can give you face, but she must apologize to my wife in public and slap herself ten tis in the face, so that she rembers not to fabricate lies casually, lest she harms others and herself.”
“By what right?” cried Jin Jing.
Her mother was a favored one before the Holy Maiden; she had never been subjected to such humiliation in Gaochang City.
“By the right of your blatant lies and stirring up trouble,” Jiang Yichun said coldly.
“Ten slaps is already being courteous.
If you won’t do it yourself, then Muyu, you go.”
“Why is it always ?” Muyu muttered under his breath, though his face clearly betrayed his excitent, apparently very willing to slap Jin Jing.
Watching, Bai Ruozhu wanted to laugh.
She didn’t know that Muyu, the joker, enjoyed this sort of thing.
Muyu too had suppressed his inner strength, but it wasn’t difficult for him to slap Jin Jing.
The Lin family head tried to stop him but was entangled by Chenfeng.
Still, the Lin family head didn’t actually plan to fight Chenfeng to the death; he simply exchanged a few moves with Chenfeng for show.
Then ca a series of crisp slaps as Muyu really slapped Jin Jing ten tis.
Jin Jing didn’t even have a chance to resist and could only scream and wail as her face quickly swelled up like a pig’s head.
Sangta watched everything with interest, not intervening with a word, not even inquiring further.
His gaze quickly shifted to Bai Ruozhu, thinking to himself, was it this woman who cured Xiaohua’s poison?
She appears quite young, probably even younger than his own sister.
Furthermore, she seed remarkably composed and collected in the face of this incident, quite an interesting woman from Zhongyuan.
Could she be related to “that” one?
“Sangta Prince, was it really that woman who cured the poison?
Should we take her with us?” The owner of Xiaohua whispered to Sangta.
Sangta’s eyes glead as he looked at Bai Ruozhu, just like a beast eyeing its prey.
Bai Ruozhu felt his gaze and suppressed the impulse to look back, keeping her neck stiff as if unaware of anything, yet she was ready to act at any mont.
Fortunately, Sangta soon withdrew his gaze and said, “Forget it, we have to hurry to Gaochang, we can discuss this later.”
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the constable and the two rchant Teams, whistled, and moved on with his subordinates and the Beast Team.
Jin Wanliang finally snapped back to his senses, swiftly detecting the foul sll of having soiled his pants.
His face turned red, indignant and wanting to curse, yet fearing that Sangta might return, he had to choke the words back down.
Jin Jing had already cried herself into a ss of tears, “Father, you must stand up for , that slut had soone hit !”
Bai Ruozhu scoffed, “Just now you were causing trouble with your rumor-mongering, and I didn’t even say a word.
How could it be that I had soone hit you?
Sangta’s presence with his Beast Team was dangerous enough, I saved your father, and you repay by betraying , moreover, you concoct those lies.
If you anger the Barbarian Clan and they direct the Beast Team to attack all of us, would you be satisfied then?”
“You’re talking nonsense—they would only kill you, what does it have to do with us?” Jin Jing argued.
“Really?
I’ve heard that the Barbarian Tribe acts on a whim without any reasoning.
If your words enrage them, I’m afraid they’ll kill everyone together.
I saved your father, yet you covet my husband, and if you can’t have him you resort to framing ti and again.
Not using your brain, you spout those lies.
If you want to die, go ahead and leave quickly, and don’t drag the rest of us down.” Bai Ruozhu bluntly stated.
Many people showed expressions of sudden realization, not only Bai Ruozhu’s group but also those within the Jin Family rchant Team.
They couldn’t understand why their young lady disliked the female doctor so much.
It turned out she fancied the woman’s husband.
Indeed, the gentleman was handso, but anyone with eyes could see how much he detested Jin Jing.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Jin Jing’s face flushed, but she stole a glance at Jiang Yichun, then hastily changed her tune, “I do like Bai, but do I need to harm you?
Those words were not spoken in public, but that’s exactly what you bragged about in private to .”
Bai Ruozhu sneered, “Who do you think you are?
Why would I waste words with you in private?”
Jiang Yichun spoke up at the right mont, “Being liked by soone like you is disgusting enough.
Dare to ntion ‘liking’ in front of again, and it won’t be as simple as turning you into a pig’s head.”
The head constable cleared his throat and said, “Let’s not fight and delay important matters.
We should hurry on our way.”
After finishing his words, he glanced at Jin Jing with a trace of revulsion in his eyes.
Bai Ruozhu was right.
Jin Jing’s reckless fabrications could have enraged the Barbarian Tribe, bringing trouble to everyone.
And to think all that stemd from one woman’s jealousy was enough to cause disgust.
The subsequent journey proceeded without conversation, and before long, the group finally arrived at Red Cotton City.
Upon entering the city, Bai Ruozhu looked up to see the dazzling Holy Hall temple, even taller than the County Governnt Office, a testant to the supre status of the Holy Hall in the Western Regions.
