Yang Guo: I'm invincible in the opening battle against Aunt Guo!

Soon, the two approached Cheng Ying's courtyard.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu had just arrived at the Moon Cave Gate.

Then I saw the door being gently pushed open.

A figure walked out of the house.

Lu Wushuang had just finished bathing, her long hair still wet and draped over her shoulders. She had simply tied it into a loose bun and secured it with a jade hairpin.

She changed into a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). Because she had just come out of the bath, her cheeks had a natural blush, her eyes were moist, and she looked as fresh and beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

What's even more captivating is that after her bath, she lost some of her girlish naiveté and gained a touch of allure.

Her figure, revealed beneath the thin shirt, was even more slender and shapely, with curves in all the right places.

As she walks, her skirt flutters lightly, exuding a graceful and lively charm.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu, who were hiding in the shadows, were stunned.

They grew up in the Guo family mansion after meeting Guo Jing and had not seen many women.

Although Guo Fu is beautiful, she is still a young girl who has not yet fully matured.

Cheng Ying was aloof and arrogant, showing no regard for them.

The Lu Wushuang before them possessed both the innocence of a young girl and the budding charm of a woman, making her the type most likely to capture their hearts at their age.

However, they soon remembered.

Isn't this woman one of the people who left with Li Mochou yesterday?

Lu Wushuang was adjusting her sleeves when she noticed someone in the courtyard. She looked up and saw Da Wu and Xiao Wu, and frowned.

She remembered these two people; they were at the gates of Xiangyang yesterday…

It's not a good product.

Lu Wushuang made her judgment in her heart, but remained outwardly calm, simply asking, "And you two are?"

Wu Dunru was the first to regain his senses, and quickly stepped forward, clasping his hands in greeting:

"My name is Wu Dunru, and this is my younger brother, Wu Xiuwen. We are both disciples of Master Guo, and we are quite familiar with Uncle Cheng. May I ask who you are, young lady...?"

"Lu Wushuang." Lu Wushuang simply gave her name without saying anything more.

Wu Xiuwen also realized what was happening and gave what he thought was a dashing smile:

"So it's Miss Lu. We only had a brief meeting at the city gate yesterday and didn't have a chance to talk properly. Seeing you again today, you are truly... even more beautiful than before."

These words sounded rather frivolous, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Lu Wushuang's eyes.

She had already witnessed Da Wu and Xiao Wu's character at the door yesterday.

He's not very capable, has a strong sense of jealousy, and always likes to sow discord.

Seeing their attitude now, I felt even more disgusted.

"Do you two have something to discuss with my cousin?" Lu Wushuang asked in a distant tone. "My cousin just went to Chief Huang's place. If you have something to discuss, you can come another day."

As she spoke, she turned to go back into the house.

"Wait!" Wu Dunru quickly called out to her, "We...we actually came to find the young lady."

"Looking for me?" Lu Wushuang stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes filled with wariness. "I don't know either of you. What do you want with me?"

Wu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Miss is new to the Guo residence and not familiar with it. My brother and I would like to extend our hospitality and show you around. Although the Guo residence is not as exquisite as the gardens in Jiangnan, it has its own unique charm..."

"No need," Lu Wushuang interrupted him. "I'm not interested in strolling through the garden."

Wu Dunru persisted: "Then...did the young lady enjoy listening to music? We know there's a teahouse in the south of the city that has hired a musician who is the best in Xiangyang..."

"I don't like it." Lu Wushuang's tone was even colder.

Wu Xiuwen was somewhat embarrassed, but still forced a smile and said, "What does the young lady like? As long as she asks, we will do our best to satisfy her."

Lu Wushuang looked at the two men's attentive manner and suddenly smiled.

Her smile was bright and beautiful, yet tinged with a hint of mockery: "What do I like? I like watching people practice martial arts. I heard you two are highly skilled disciples of Master Guo; your martial arts must be incredibly impressive, right?"

Da Wu and Xiao Wu were stunned for a moment, then a smug look appeared on their faces.

Wu Dunru puffed out his chest: "I wouldn't dare say I'm amazing, but with my master's careful guidance, I can say I've achieved some success."

"Really?" Lu Wushuang tilted her head, feigning innocence. "Then, I wonder, between you two and Brother Yang Guo, who is more powerful?"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing the sore spots of both of them.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu's faces immediately turned ugly.

Wu Xiuwen reluctantly replied, "Yang Guo... he was just lucky and had some fortuitous encounters. If we're really talking about the foundation of his martial arts, it might not be as solid as ours."

"Oh?" A sly glint flashed in Lu Wu's eyes. "But I heard that this morning, the two of you sparred with Brother Yang, and it seems... you didn't gain any advantage?"

She deliberately made the word "exchange and learn" sound meaningful.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu's faces changed from red to green, and then from green to white.

The humiliating scene of being thrown out in public by Yang Guo this morning is the shame they least want to mention.

Wu Dunru suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "That was because we were careless. If we had really started fighting..."

"If we really fight, how many moves can you two last against Brother Yang?" Lu Wushuang interrupted him without any politeness. "Ten moves? Five moves? Or... one move?"

"You!" Wu Xiuwen roared, "Miss Lu, we treated you with kindness, why did you speak so sarcastically?"

"Mocking?" Lu Wushuang blinked. "I was just asking out of curiosity. If you two think this is mockery, then you have something to hide."

As she spoke, she turned to go inside, but then stopped and turned back to add:

"Oh, and there's one more thing I need to remind you two. In the future, when you're talking about others behind their backs, you'd better think twice about your own capabilities. Some people are not to be trifled with."

These words were pointed, clearly referring to their slander of Yang Guo.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu were so angry that they trembled all over, but they couldn't say a word.

Lu Wushuang ignored them, pushed open the door, went inside, and closed the door behind her.

With a soft "bang," it struck the two faces like a slap.

In the courtyard, Da Wu and Xiao Wu stood frozen in place, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.

"Big...Big Brother..." Wu Xiuwen's voice trembled, "How...how dare she..."

Wu Dunru clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

He had never been humiliated like this by a seemingly delicate little girl!

"Yang Guo...it's Yang Guo again!" he spat out the words through gritted teeth. "Even the woman beside him dares to look down on us like this!"

A venomous glint flashed in Wu Xiuwen's eyes: "Brother, we absolutely cannot let this go!"

Wu Dunru stared at the tightly closed door, his eyes flashing with cold light. "Lu Wushuang... Yang Guo... and Fu Mei. These people, just you wait. One day, I will make you regret it."

He turned and strode away from the courtyard.

Wu Xiuwen quickly followed.

Inside the house, Lu Wushuang leaned against the door, listening to the receding footsteps outside the courtyard, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

These two idiots think they can make a move on her?

Still trying to slander Brother Yang?

That's really overestimating themselves.
