" Miss....!"
Qiu had just called out looking at the receding back of their master the two little dolls came back to their senses as they let out a delayed cough and crawled out of some corner to give chase using their stubby short legs while shouting at the top of their lungs, " Master, wait for us!" How could their master leave behind when there was such a good show to watch?!
Needless to say, looking at the soot-covered dark and short creatures Qiu was completely shocked forgetting what she was about to say.
It was only when the people were out of her sight Qiu suddenly recalled the important matter, " Oh no, I forgot to remind Miss to change her clothes!"
But looking at the direction her miss had headed it looked like she was going directly for the main hall towards the main entrance.
It was too late!
However, Qiu couldn't care less, she stood up and rushed out at full speed trying to save her miss from embarrassment.
Even if she didn't change her clothes at least she had to wash her face.
No matter how miserable you are, you mustn't let your enemy see you in such an embarrassing state, wouldn't it satisfy them?
Qiu had already thought it through.
However, no matter how fast she tried to run it was still too late and the three soot-covered dark creatures had disappeared long ago.
" Nangong Ruyi, come out! Dared to lay hands on this Old man's son, do you think that this Old man is dead?!"
" Come out! I know you are hiding inside! Treacherous and malicious people like you and your family deserved to be punished!"
" I, Kang Yongnian shall write my name backward if I don't avenge my son today! So, you better come out its useless hiding anyway!" The Old man blew his beard full of momentum.
On the other side, Jiang Ying Yue was also making her way to the main hall.
Although, Jiang Ying Yue was struggling with a dull and annoying pain in her head her pace was surprisingly fast.
Anyone who looked closely could see a faint hint of excitement and anticipation in her light and nimble steps. The way she walked it looked like she almost couldn't wait to fly.
Jiang Ying Yue herself couldn't understand what sort of excitement or anticipation she felt in her.
The only thing she could say was that she no longer was behaving like her past self.
She didn't know whether it was because of soul fusion or something her temperament had taken a drastic change, she was no longer that patient or had her past good temper.
The temperaments of the two souls were too contradicting that now they were fusing into one sometimes even Jiang Ying Yue herself couldn't help feeling confused and conflicted.
And eventually, Jiang Ying Yue stopped thinking about it. Either way, it was her there was no meaning in thinking too much about it.
Jiang Ying Yue hastened her pace even more thinking to herself, ' You sure are a general's daughter, you like fighting so much.'
Jiang Ying Yue had just stepped out of the main hall when she heard the noise and the shouts.
Even from a distance, she could hear the street outside the residence boiling like the market.
Aside from the ruckus caused by the man who addressed himself as 'Old man' the other noises were all made by the passer-byes who gathered around to watch the fun.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall Jiang Ying Yue's expression turned cold hearing the man scold her parents in such a unscrupulous manner in front of the crowd. As she walked forward the voices also grew louder and clearer her countenance gradually grew more frigid and dark to the point it felt like it was blowing air-conditioner wherever she went.
Covered in soot, the darkness and gloom in her eyes couldn't be more darker, completely resembling a ghost that crawled out of hell.
Jiang Ying Yue was completely provoked.
Good, good, that old bastard had sent her a great present!
The violent cells in her body had long been stimulated, they were raging with intense fury and agitation, impatient to take action.
And then with a 'whoosh' a sudden gust of chilly cold wind blew by followed by a deafening loud 'boom'.
" Nangong--"
Boom!
What the...
The crowd gasped in shock and retreated subconsciously a few steps, their eyes still fixed on the 'big human ball' and a dark figure that appeared out of nowhere and shot out a comet a moment ago kicking the 'big human ball' meters away ruthlessly.
The kick was so powerful that the person formed a one-meter-deep crater on the ground after landing.
The crowd: "!!!!"
Completely stunned and speechless not only from the shock but also from astonishment the crowd couldn't help but gape at that gloomy figure wordlessly.
The Yue Mei guards who were standing at the door were also caught off guard while Qiu covered her face in despair, it was too late!
On the other hand, Abhram and Azure who were busy looking for a good place to sit and the watch froze in the place, completely shocked, then turned to each other to get good a glance at their faces and realization dawned on them before they glared and scolded each other for their incompetence.
Damn it! They should have realized it and warned their master!
Heck, this was too embarrassing!
However, that wasn't enough.
The crowd had just caught a brief glance before the figure shot out once again like an arrow lunging forward in full force to kill the enemy in one shot.
Boom!
The man who was making a ruckus just a moment had yet to figure out the situation he was in yet he was picked and beaten once again.
The Old guy looked too miserable as he landed heavily forming another similar-sized crater not far from the previous place.
It was his luck that Jiang Ying Yue took account of his age and was still somewhat holding back otherwise with the immense physical strength she had developed recently the Old man had landed in the underworld directly instead of merely landing on the ground here.
" Argh....!" The Old man groaned in pain as his face which was covered under his grey beard turned deathly pale.
He was in so much pain, Jiang Ying Ying kicked him mercilessly without holding back. His stomach, heart, lungs, and everything inside him ached. He felt that all his internal organs had shifted from their places and moved within him causing him immense pain.
His rowdy and arrogant momentum that he had displayed a moment had now all turned into smoke and dust. And at that moment his eyes held nothing but shock and fear.
He was sweating from pain and fear as he weakly lifted his hand to press on his chest which was throbbing from immense pain.
" Cough, cough....!" The Old man coughed as he used his arms to support himself to sit up.
Then the Old man glared ferociously at the girl, " You, you....how dare you?! Do you know who I am?!"
As soon as his words fell the Old man's personal guards rushed over and surrounded Jiang Ying Yue with their swords pointing at her, ready to kill her if she dared to take a single step.
Upon seeing this Qiu's face turned pale while the Yue Mei guards also drew their swords instantly.
They were just about to rush over when they saw their master raise her hand to stop them. Hence they halted their steps but still stood there clutching their bare weapons in full alert.
If the need arises they can rush over immediately in their master's aid.
Glancing at the Old man who was still glaring at her maliciously Jiang Ying Yue shifted her gaze to the ten or so guards and raised her eyebrows, letting out a sneer, ' Oh, this guy came well-prepared."
No wonder that dog Emperor sent him here.
With how arrogant and despotic this Old man was he knew even if the Old man didn't manage to cause her any substantial harm he would still cause her some trouble.
But what was that Xiao Jinggou trying to achieve?
Jiang Ying Yue still hadn't managed to gauge his thoughts correctly. That man was just too scheming.
Even though he had let Wei Mo keep a watch on him twenty-four hours it was still difficult to unravel his thoughts since that man didn't have any weird habits of mumbling out loud what he thought.
It was a difficult task and she might have to borrow Wei Mo's assistance for big longer.
But for now, she had someone else to handle.
" You lowly wench, how dare touch our master! Kneel and beg for our master's forgiveness at this instant otherwise don't blame us for being rude!!" One of the guards barked arrogantly pointing his words at Jiang Ying Yue, threatening her to bow down and submit.
The guards surrounded her from all corners and unleashed their auras to let her perceive their real strength and realize her mistake of not understanding the immensity of heaven and earth, completely forgetting the scene from before where Jiang Ying Yue had formed a crater her kicks.
Everyone was watching this scene enthusiastically but no one felt any sympathy for her nor did they experience any discomfort watching those buff grown men bullying a little girl.
To them, it was merely a show they were watching to relieve their boredom.
Furthermore, wasn't she a traitor's daughter?
So what if she was bullied?!
She deserved it!
If she wanted to blame someone she could only blame her father for it.
The crowd was thinking when they suddenly realized they had overlooked a detail, why was this Old man looking for Nangong Ruyi and her daughter? Weren't they long dead?
The crowd was confused but they didn't voice and instead kept watching the show anticipating further development.
Jiang Ying Yue glanced around and took in all of this, the corner of her lips lifted into a subtle mocking sneer as she thought to herself, 'These people are nothing but scrounge!'
