Shi Wujue turned around, looking at Zhou Mu with a bitter smile on his face, his slanted brows slightly furrowed, long lashes slightly lowered, hiding the guilt in his eyes...
Zhou Mu, I’m sorry!
From their eting in childhood to careful planning at every step, everything was within his plan!
Since childhood, he knew the responsibilities he carried, and the mission he had to complete. For the most favored Prince Xiao Mu of Great Zhou, Shi Wujue designed an association from a very young age...
All of this actually began much earlier than everyone thought!
The two fell into silence, without speaking!
anwhile, Gu Changsheng had already left the City Lord’s Mansion cheerfully with three shaved-headed little children in tow!
Outside the City Lord’s Mansion was a spacious plaza, and now, this once empty plaza was crowded and bustling with noise!
In the middle, a tall platform stood very dominantly. It was clear effort was put into setting it up. There were viewing stands set up on both sides, making it look quite imposing!
Gu Changsheng protected the three little ones, standing on tiptoe, looking towards the center of the plaza. As she looked, cold sweat imdiately broke out on her head!
Oh my heavens!
Why didn’t she know that Linyuan City had so many people?
Look at them, people from all trades, each one with a bizarre appearance, all gathered and cramped together in the plaza!
Even before leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Gu Changsheng had already put on half a mask prepared by Diao Chan, not for anything else but because her face was too distinctive, especially the holy golden mark between her brows. Anyone with good eyes could tell it wasn’t just decorative, but a true mark engraved on her skin!
Gu Changsheng of course wouldn’t naively assu that everyone in Linyuan City had poor vision. Moreover, she was going to face the young talents of the Hidden World Clan this ti. Surely, there would be so knowledgeable ones who could see through her identity at a glance, so it’s better to hide the mark as much as possible!
After all, she, a dignified Southern Emperor, inexplicably beca the heir of dicine King Valley and had co to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest, competing with the Hidden World Clan for sothing. Speaking of it, it sounds pretty ridiculous!
"Mom, can we go in?" Little at Bun lifted his bright young head, blinking his big eyes and asked.
"Yes! Even if I have to squeeze my paunch in, squeeze we must!" Gu Changsheng pouted, if she didn’t get in, how would she fight? How would she win the reward for first place?
Her goal was very clear, wasn’t it?
Gu Changsheng racked her brains thinking about how to get these three little kids safely to the front of the platform, but before she could take action, she was suddenly shoved from behind by soone!
That shove was abrupt but thankfully Gu Changsheng was a martial arts practitioner. She quickly protected the three little kids in her arms and steadied herself!
Seeing the three bald little ones in front of her unhard, Gu Changsheng imdiately turned around, glaring furiously at the person who pushed her!
"Out of the way! A good dog doesn’t block the path!" A person dressed as a servant stood behind Gu Changsheng, his hand that pushed her had yet to retract. Without waiting for Gu Changsheng to hold him accountable, he shouted first.
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was instantly enraged, her phoenix eyes faintly showing sparks, hands on hips, "This lady doesn’t block a good dog’s path!"
"You’re bold!" The servant was stunned, turned and scolded angrily.
"You’re being insolent!" Gu Changsheng did not yield!
Damn, if she weren’t worried about attracting too much attention by bringing too many people, would she have co alone with these three little tagalongs to break into the ring?
Ugh!
Encountering soone who looks down on others with dog eyes!
Just an ambitious servant, his arrogance is simply off the charts!
"You ..." The servant was choked by Gu Changsheng’s shout, seeing the crowd’s gaze directed here, his heart simred with anger, looking at Gu Changsheng with disdain and said, "I wondered who dares block my young lady’s path, turns out to be a re woman!"
"What about a woman? Weren’t you born of won and raised by won?" Gu Changsheng never took servants who look down on others seriously, her mouth inexhaustible in retort, imdiately snapping back!
"You ..." It choked the servant again.
Gu Changsheng raised her head haughtily and humd.
Compete with her!
Damn, even her professionally trained subordinates couldn’t outtalk her, this servant was simply asking for humiliation!
"Do you know where this is? A woman, bringing children, instead of staying ho to support husband and teach children, what’s there to stir up trouble here? Begone! My young lady is about to participate in the Nirvana Martial Contest!" That servant pressed down hard trying to suppress his emotions, anger faintly showing in his eyes, but he still put away his contentious heart, speaking in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng imdiately raised an arc of disdain at the corner of her mouth, wanting to retort, but felt her sleeve being tugged. Turning back, she saw an elderly uncle shaking his head at her...
"Young lady, you can’t do this! Those participating in the Nirvana Martial Contest are all young talents from the Hidden World Clan, cannot be provoked! Better say less, let them pass!"
Gu Changsheng accepted this uncle’s kind reminder, smiling at him, but in an instant, the smile on her lips froze, her phoenix eyes stared behind the servant, where a palanquin appeared, her gaze fixed on the tag hanging on the palanquin, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes...
The servant no longer cared to deal with Gu Changsheng, busy clearing the way ahead. In his heart, arguing with Gu Changsheng, a re woman here, was far too deaning!
"Diao Chan!"
Yet Gu Changsheng, turning towards behind him, called out softly, his gaze still fixed on that palanquin, watching the shadowy silhouettes inside, his eyes darkened.
Yu!
She saw the insignia of the Yu Mansion on the plaque of the palanquin!
However, Gu Changsheng’s mory being so excellent, she distinctly rembered the figure of Yu Qingqiu, and the slouched silhouette within this palanquin certainly wasn’t Yu Qingqiu, who had clashed with her in Licheng!
Definitely soone else!
Moreover, a woman!
"My Lord..." Diao Chan’s burly figure appeared behind Gu Changsheng like a ghost.
"From the Yu Mansion, who has co?" A cold glint flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice.
As Gu Changsheng spoke, the palanquin was slowly approaching...
Gu Changsheng distinctly felt the strong fluctuation of inner strength from within the palanquin!
This was an expert!
A master on a completely different level from Yu Qingqiu!
"Yu Lianyi, a concubine-born daughter of the Yu Mansion, though born from a concubine, her talent is extraordinary, highly valued in the Yu Mansion, subtly overshadowing the legitimate son Yu Qingqiu! She just appeared in Linyuan City yesterday and was added to the list for the Nirvana Martial Contest!" Diao Chan lowered his head, listing the information he had discovered today, "My Lord, this girl should not be underestimated, rumor has it her cultivation ranks in the top five among the Hidden World Clans!"
"Concubine-born daughter? Top five? Impressive!" Gu Changsheng nodded at the words, watching the palanquin pass energetically in front of him, following the path opened by the Servant Boy, gradually moving past him, her gaze slightly dimd, "This Yu Mansion certainly breeds arrogant and domineering sorts! Servant Boys are all so annoying!"
If it wasn’t for the arrogance of Yu Qingqiu’s Servant Boy at the Licheng City Gate, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t have clashed with Yu Qingqiu, nor would there have been the subsequent auction incident!
Now, Yu Qingqiu was outshone, yet here ca a concubine-born woman!
Seems she truly has so skills!
"Humph! Ordinary won, even if you see through my lady’s palanquin, you can’t compare to even a strand of my lady’s hair!"
At that mont, the Servant Boy who had just pushed Gu Changsheng, returned with a smug grin, disdainfully at Gu Changsheng, who was intently staring at the palanquin, mocking him.
"You..." Gu Changsheng was montarily speechless, holding the three Little lon Babies in one arm, pointing at the Servant Boy, unable to find words.
Damn it!
What kind of Tom, Dick or Harry is this Yu Mansion raising?
Exactly the sa type of dog acting like a king!
"Brother Yu is right, our lady is certainly beyond the reach of these ordinary won!" No sooner had the Servant Boy’s words fallen, did a man with a fawning expression squeeze out from behind him, clasping his fists at the Servant Boy flatteringly, "I am the Sect Leader of the Iron Fist Sect, a branch of the Northern Fist, eager to make connections with the Yu Mansion, hoping Brother Yu would put in a good word!"
Gu Changsheng was imdiately embarrassed by the man’s bootlicking deanor, damn it, what kind of Sect Leader is he!
For a Sect Leader to be sneaky and obsequious, this sect presumably isn’t much better either!
Yet in the blink of an eye, a thoughtful look flashed in Gu Changsheng’s eyes...
Connecting with the Yu Mansion...
Even small sects in the itinerant world have begun openly forming relations with Hidden World Clans?
This is not a good sign...
What on earth are Hidden World Clans up to?
Could it be they no longer wish to remain hidden? Do they want to step into the world collectively?
"Humph! I will surely ntion you to the head maid beside our lady, but you, lowly woman, now that the lady’s palanquin has passed, should reveal your family, so that I might visit you soon," said the Servant Boy haughtily to the so-called Iron Fist Sect Leader before turning to Gu Changsheng with scorn.
The threat in his words was quite evident!
Having been retorted a few tis by Gu Changsheng, the Servant Boy still held resentnt, unable to interrupt his lady’s affairs, only to return to reclaim his ground!
The small fleshy bun held by Gu Changsheng widened his eyes at this and shook his head regretfully.
This Servant Boy, why’s he so blind?
He actually ran to his mother and tried to bluff his mother!
Alas... Heaven have rcy, his mother certainly isn’t an easy one to bluff!
Yet Gu Changsheng, at this mont, lowered her head and chuckled softly, "You wish to visit my ho, co to see ?"
