Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

110. Argument

Translator: Antonia

Whatever Yuxing Tianrui was contemplating, his reason was hindered when the person he faced was Du Chuxuan. In a few words, Yuxing Tianrui was convinced by him, which gave Jiu Dengdan quite a surprise and an assurance of how much Yuxing Tianrui cherished his tudi.

The Wulin Assembly was just around the corner, and a faint tenseness could be sensed across the whole Xiangyang city. Many Wulin people didn’t disguise their identities in the city. After all, those who were able to make some mark in Wulin couldn’t be cowards. The more capable they were, the higher a profile they kept.

Du Chuxuan now was walking on the street in his true face and had a strange feeling. It seemed that subconsciously he had taken himself as a woman and wasn’t very used to being dressed as a man.

Just as Du Chuxuan was strolling aimlessly, there was suddenly a noisy argument at the other side of the street, “Lord, there seems to be a fight.” Luo Yi whispered to Du Chuxuan, and Yuxing Tianrui, close to them, also heard clearly.

Du Chuxuan’s eyes spun and pulled them over, in the principle that it was a waste not to see when there was a scene. Instantly, he spotted the burly man who yesterday had questioned the hotel manager for rooms. Now he stood in front of a fragile woman against a group of men, which was headed by a man in clothes that were nothing but plain.

“Ha. Interesting. Now all kinds of little rats jump out in my way. What? I heard the so-called Wulin Assembly is going to be held in the Qingshan Temple? A person like you also think you’re able to join it, only to make a fun of yourself?” What the youth in luxurious clothes said gave people a frown immediately.

The burly man was obviously not an eloquent man and could only stand still flushing, “Don’t be arrogant, young man. If I didn’t see you bully a woman in the street, I wouldn’t have been wasting breath with you here!” Finishing that, he turned and motioned to the woman to let her leave.

“Hem.” The youth gave a mere look, and his followers cleverly surrounded the two in a hurry, “The girl ran out from my mansion. Since her father has sold her to me, she’s mine. Even if she manages to run today, there won’t be anything good for her when I catch her back one day.”

This was a blatant threatening against the woman whom the burly man was trying to protect. Du Chuxuan took a glance at the woman. She, with delicate features, was not a gorgeous but at least lovable and so fragile that most men would take pity on her when they saw her. Du Chuxuan couldn’t help sucking his teeth.

A hero saving a beauty was almost the best drama.

Seeing the youth couldn’t be persuaded by words, the burly man became annoyed, but he wasn’t a fool. The youth took with him many body guards, while he himself had a burden. His life must be lost here if he started a fight. Glancing around, his eyes fell on Du Chuxuan and Yuxing Tianrui.

Yuxing Tianrui and Du Chuxuan, prominently good-looking, were quite eye-catching standing among the crowd, even though he had done nothing special. He shouted instantly, “Lord Du, please give me a hand. We Wulin people should certainly help each other out in this case!”

As he yelled, all the eyes around were gathered onto Du Chuxuan. He only felt three black lines over his head. What should he say about the man? Brainy or brainless? Was he falling a scapegoat of collateral damage? In view that the grandly-dressed youth was turning and staring at him, he walked out languidly.

“Sir, I guess you mistook me. Yes, the token I took out yesterday belongs to a Du, but I got the token only because I saved a youth on my way. I’m not a Du in fact.” If he would attend the Wulin Assembly in the identity of the Master of Sect Luo, he certainly couldn’t disclose his identity as a Du. Otherwise, if this was known to the Emperor, he was afraid he would have opinions against the Du family and have scruples against himself. This wasn’t what Du Chuxuan wanted. Therefore, he didn’t find anything wrong in insisting that he wasn’t a Du.

The burly man was choked by these words and took it as that Du Chuxuan just a coward who wanted to stay clear of the muddy water. Annoyed, but the man had no choice but to take out the axe and fight against the bunch of guards.

“But this gentleman is right. One should offer help in such a situation.” Du Chuxuan touched his nose and unfolded the fan, shaking casually in an attempt to imitate his coquettish shidi in a manner of a playful in order to confuse others, “But whom should I help?”

Sect Luo impressed the world as an organization both righteous and evil. Although it didn’t enjoy a reputation across the world like Manluo, anyone had a little knowledge in this respect knew how powerful Sect Luo was and wouldn’t be willing to make enemies with it. Therefore, if Du Chuxuan planed to show up as the head of it, surely he should be a little ‘different’.

The way he acted immediately put in Yuxing Tianrui’s mind the figure of another man. He was confused, but since it wasn’t the right time to ask, he had to swallow his doubts into his belly.

“So funny. Are you getting enough talk? Don’t forget I’m still here.” The youth snorted and pointed at Du Chuxuan, saying in a cold voice, “Who are you country man? You wish your death too?”

The commoner should fight against officials. No wonder the youth acted in this monstrous fashion. His father was the mayor of Xiangyang, while he was his only son that had been spoiled since his birth. Of course the boy knew nothing of a low profile. Only with the knowledge that the court disliked Wulin affairs, he naturally wouldn’t show any courtesy to Wulin people.

Being called a country man, Du Chuxuan subconsciously looked down at his clothes. Although after leaving the palace, in order not to attract much attention, they had put on some ordinary clothes, how could these clothes prepared by Yuxing Tianrui be really ordinary? At least the fabrics were of top quality!

Du Chuxuan didn’t care to talk to the youth and turned to the girl who hadn’t spoken all the time, “Who are you? Why do you need to be protected by others when you yourself is a martial cultivator?”
