Xia Muqing’s expression changed and she glared at the person in front of her.
“How dare you block my way without knowing who I am!”
Her tone was imposing and domineering.
Xia Muqing’s current appearance reminded Huangfu You of someone.
She shuddered in fear at the thought.
She began to treat Xia Muqing very cautiously.
“You’re wearing a mask. How would I know?”
Xia Muqing didn’t expect her to be so gullible. She retracted her aura and marched past her without a second glance.
Huangfu You stood rooted to the spot, staring at Xia Muqing’s back as she tried to guess her identity.
She suddenly remembered that she was the most favored princess in the country.
Except Father, Mother, and that man, who else did she need to be afraid of?
Huangfu You, who had reacted to the situation, was even more displeased.
With Huangfu You’s unruly personality and her embarrassment from being intimidated, she immediately gave chase angrily.
She stopped Xia Muqing.
“Stop right there. Do you know who I… I am? How dare you speak to me like that?”
Xia Muqing looked at the guards ahead helplessly.
She turned around and studied Huangfu You, who was standing with her hands on her waist.
She didn’t expect her to be a princess.
She thought about the country’s princesses.
With such arrogance, she was probably the most favored youngest princess, Huangfu You.
Xia Muqing didn’t expose Huangfu You’s identity.
She replied casually, “Who you are has nothing to do with me. Are you very free?”
Huangfu You was indignant. “What do you mean?”
“One is nosy because of boredom,” Xia Muqing explained kindly.
Huangfu You was about to explode from anger.
She wanted to enter the mountain range alone, but her father insisted on sending so many people to follow her.
When she noticed Xia Muqing entering the mountain alone, she couldn’t help but blurt out.
Unexpectedly, Xia Muqing had ignored her and even commented that she was nosy.
“Do you know that if you offend me, I can forbid you from entering the mountain range?”
This was the first time Huangfu You had been treated in such a manner. She raised her head and spoke harshly.
Xia Muqing smiled helplessly and pointed at the railings in front of them.
“But I’ve already entered.”
This scene attracted groups of onlookers.
Several people couldn’t help but laugh in response.
Those who weren’t laughing, had amusement glinting in their eyes.
Huangfu You’s face turned red.
She glared at the people around her and scolded, “What are you all laughing at? Do you believe that I will send all of you to jail?”
As soon as she said this, the guards around Huangfu You acted accordingly and drew their swords.
Those who could survive in the Sunset Mountains for a long time weren’t cowards.
They didn’t take Huangfu You’s threat seriously.
But the arrogance in her words and the guards around her, showed that she was not an ordinary person.
They guessed that she was connected to the royal family.
Fearful of the power behind her, none of them made a retort despite being angry.
Huangfu You smirked smugly.
She turned her gaze back to Xia Muqing, with her eyes filled with ferocity.
“Arrest her. I want to teach her a lesson.”
This time, Xia Muqing’s expression changed.
She had originally wanted to tease this little princess, but now, she was no longer in the mood to do so.
“You’re not cute at all right now.”
After Xia Muqing finished speaking, she swung her leg at the guards who had gathered around her.
The guards hadn’t expected her to be skilled in martial arts, and they were taken aback.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xia Muqing found an opening and quickly knocked down a guard swiftly before escaping.
Panting, Xia Muqing hid behind a big tree.
Just a few moves had drained her. This body was really weak.
Even though Xia Muqing already knew that, she couldn’t help but complain.
Huangfu You watched as Xia Muqing disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Furious, she whipped the guards who were sprawled on the ground.
“What are all of you doing? You can’t even deal with a woman. How could you protect me?”
