Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

"How have your studies been lately, Junwang?" Han shizi asked.

Ming Junwang replied, "Pretty good. The Grand Tutor just praised me, saying that I write well. But I don't understand why, despite my talents, imperial father won't allow me to showcase them in front of my imperial grandfather?"

That was the Emperor’s peculiarity; he didn’t like people who are too clever.

Han shizi had to say, "Since the Crown Prince has given such an order, there must be a reason. Junwang should just comply."

In fact, the Crown Prince had more than just one son, but Ming Junwang was the legitimate son. Moreover, the Princess Consort to the Crown Prince was also from the Han Family, so the Han Family valued Ming Junwang highly and did not want him to make any mistakes.

Ming Junwang sighed. Han shizi always spoke so flawlessly that he couldn't get any information out of him.

Ming Junwang didn't want to talk anymore and was about to pull down the curtain when suddenly, a familiar female figure appeared on the street.

He recognized her at once as the servant girl he had sent to attend to Young Miss Gu. The servant girl looked at him as if she had something to report.

He couldn't let his cousin know about him pursuing a female student from Canglan Women’s Academy. His cousin would definitely report it to his imperial father, and that would spell disaster for him.

He cleared his throat and said to Han shizi, "Cousin, I... need to use the outhouse."

Han shizi nodded.

Ming Junwang had the carriage stopped and stepped into a teahouse where the servant girl had just entered.

Once he was sure Han shizi couldn't see him, he called the servant girl over, "Coming to see this Junwang so suddenly, is there something about Young Miss Gu?"

The servant girl respectfully replied, "Young Miss Gu said she wants to see Junwang."

Ming Junwang's eyes lit up, "Is that true?"

The servant girl smiled and said, "Absolutely. Young Miss Gu had indeed left after the event had ended, but suddenly she returned, saying she wanted to thank Junwang for arranging the viewing stand for her. She made a painting and wants to give it to Junwang personally."

Ming Junwang smiled excitedly, "She finally agreed to see me! And she also wants to give me a gift! It seems revealing my identity was the right move!"

The servant girl said, "You are the legitimate son of the Crown Prince and the eldest imperial grandson of Great Yan. She is just someone from a lower state, how could she dare refuse Junwang’s pursuit?"

Ming Junwang's expression darkened, “Do not speak of her so disrespectfully!”

The servant girl quickly lowered her head, "This servant misspoke."

Ming Junwang clasped his hands behind his back, looking at the bustling crowd, and laughed freely, “As long as she agrees to be with me, what's the difficulty in giving her the status of someone from an upper state? Yuebin Tower, right?”

The servant girl hesitated for a moment before advising, “Junwang, Han shizi is outside. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to go see Young Miss Gu like this?”

Dealing with his cousin was indeed troublesome, but Ming Junwang had been pursuing this beauty for a long time, and she hadn't even glanced at him. He was worried that if he missed her invitation today, the beauty might ignore him again next time.

After a moment of inner conflict, he finally decided to lie to Han shizi.

“Cousin, I ran into a friend at the teahouse, so there's no need for you to escort me back home. I'll return to the estate by myself later.”

With that, he suppressed his inner tension and tried to appear calm and collected.

Han shizi didn't seem to notice anything amiss and nodded, "Take care."

Ming Junwang smiled brightly, "I will, there are so many embroidered-uniform guards around me as well!"

After Han shizi left, Ming Junwang eagerly headed to the nearby Yuebin Tower.

Xiao Heng was waiting in a private room on the second floor near the street.

Ming Junwang entered the room in high spirits, and six embroidered-uniform guards stood vigilantly at the door.

These six guards should not be underestimated as they were top experts from the Crown Prince Estate..

Otherwise, Xiao Heng wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of luring them away from Han shizi.

Even so, Han shizi alone was not easy to deal with. His martial arts skills were too high, far beyond the capabilities of the Dragon Shadow Guards of the State of Zhao.

So some auxiliary measures were needed to weaken his strength.

Han shizi turned into an alley on his horse.

He wasn't riding Black Wind King because Black Wind King was too powerful and would scare other horses on the street, causing unnecessary accidents and panic.

After a few steps, he suddenly tightened the reins, slightly turned his head, and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, "Who's there? Come out!"

On the top of a roof, Gu Jiao flicked her fingers, and three Tanghua needles shot out!

Han shizi leaped from his horse, flipped in the air, and the three Tanghua needles thudded into the wall beside him!

Such excellent qinggong and agility!

Gu Jiao watched him coolly. After dodging the Tanghua needles, Han shizi didn't land back on his horse but instead stood firmly on the ground.

He looked warily in the direction the Tanghua needles had come from. Gu Jiao didn’t give him a chance to see her clearly and shot out more Tanghua needles.

This time, it was ten needles.

Han shizi drew his treasured sword from his waist, channeling his internal force, and spun it around, deflecting every single Tanghua needle.

Gu Jiao switched from Tanghua needles to throwing knives.

The throwing knives were also made by Lady Nan, more powerful than the Tanghua needles.

But Han shizi effortlessly deflected them all.

One could tell how much Lady Nan doted on Gu Jiao by the variety of hidden weapons she had. Gu Jiao fired more than ten different kinds, some non-toxic and some poisoned, but not a single one managed to injure Han shizi.

Han shizi had almost gauged her strength and snorted disdainfully. He tapped his toes, swung his sword, and leaped towards the roof.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Jiao's lips as she released another volley of hidden weapons from both hands.

Han shizi fearlessly swung his sword to deflect them.

Bang!

Six black gunpowder balls exploded without mercy!

Han shizi was stunned by the blast, his body momentarily frozen in mid-air!

He had actually reached the height of the roof and saw the masked youth who had ambushed him.

The youth was just a short distance away.

Now was the moment!

Gu Jiao coldly lifted her leg and kicked him down!

With a resounding crash, he fell heavily to the ground like a boulder!

The hard bluestone pavement cracked upon impact, and his sword flew from his hand, striking the corner of the street and embedding itself in a wall crevice with a snap!

Han shizi was in excruciating pain all over. He clutched his chest and stood up, his gaze fierce.

Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

After all those black black gunpowder balls and double doses of the knockout drug, he could still get up?

Then I'll send you six more black gunpowder balls.

"Seriously, what a waste of black gunpowder balls."

Gu Jiao threw six more black gunpowder balls at him, and after that, she used nearly half a vial of nerve toxin, which finally brought him down.

However, a tuft of his hair still stubbornly stood up, as if representing his unyielding spirit!

"Heh."

Gu Jiao slapped his hair flat and swiftly put him in a sack!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
