Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

124. Goodbye

Translator: asassin

Du Chuxuan stood up. Looking beyond Officer Chen, he saw a crowd had gathered, prying to see what was going on. “I know what you want to ask. As a member of Wulin, I’ve always been honest. Go back and tell your lord that I’ll stay here during the Wulin Assembly.”

“If he intends to ask me anything, just come here. Don’t send some fool to bother me.” As he finished speaking, he waved and slammed the door shut in front of the crowd.

His last move was a display of menace. He was wearing red and a mask, an over-the-top outfit already. Now, in addition to that, he shut his door in front of a patrol officer. That made the crowd’s blood boil.

“Bastard!” The officer really wanted to kick the door open, yet he knew better than that. It was clearly a warning. If he stayed here any longer, he would lose all his dignity. Teeth clenched, he left with his men grimly. There was no shortage of onlookers.

Du Chuxuan glanced at the time leak. “Today’s assembly is about to start, Tianrui, we should leave.” As he spoke, he held Yuxing Tianrui’s hand in his naturally and flew out through the window with him, reaching the bottom of the building before Officer Chen.

The two didn’t even look sideways after landing, and went straight into the carriage Luo Yi prepared for them, heading directly towards Green Hills Temple.

“It’s a chain of events. They must have known that there was another guy. But there’s no way they could find him, so they just found a scapegoat first.”

Sitting in the carriage, Yuxing Tianrui said slowly. The guy who brought all this up really was bold. As the Wulin Assembly went on, it was a critical point for the relationship between the court and Wulin, how dare someone draw the court’s attention to the assembly?

Du Chuxuan also thought of that. “Maybe that wasn’t their original intention. I wonder if they were delayed by Chang Guangqing, so they wanted to change the approach?” That might have been the most appropriate explanation for now.

The secret book of martial arts that came out of nowhere, and the girls who went missing. Du Chuxuan had a hunch that there was some kind of connection between the two. “Now the third prince is also one of the organizers of the assembly, if he can’t get his hands on the book, I guess only those who work for the former chief have news of it.”

The two agreed on that. As they left town, they heard Luo Yi shouting fiercely, followed by sounds of weapons clashing. Du Chuxuan lifted the curtain slightly and saw a man in red in a fierce fight with Luo Yi and the other guards.

Du Chuxuan grunted, he waited for the right time, and threw a hidden weapon. That person was quick, and made a sudden leap in the air, dodging his attack.

Ashna Yi was stunned. His eyes instantly turned to the hidden weapon on the ground. He was all too familiar with this plum-shaped dart. Immediately, he looked at the carriage and saw two men standing side by side in front of the carriage staring at him coldly.

“Your martial arts skills are impressive, sir. If you can’t stand the itch to fight, you can show it off in the ring later. However, a sneak attack is really disgraceful.” There were quite a few people passing by, so they naturally noticed what was happening.

Ashna Yi watched as the man’s mouth opened and closed, unable to utter a word for a long time. Of course, there was only one person in the whole world could sway him. That thought made him happy and bitter at the same time.

Sect brother, we meet, again. I didn’t recognize you, yet again. Is this really God’s will?

Knowing this wasn’t a suitable time for a reunion, Ashina Yi threw that behind him and chuckled. “Sir, your subordinates are all good fighters. It’s really hard to say who will be the winner of this tournament.”

Du Chuxuan frowned slightly. None of this man’s action made sense to him. One sentence from him had already made the crowd unhappy. After all, all these people had come for the position of the chief of Wulin. Just one sentence, the man had made Du Chuxuan a thorn in everyone’s eyes.

But that was normal, after all, for wherever in Wulin, there would always be strife. He had expected nasty people to appear, so he was prepared for it.

“Sure, my men are brilliant. If you don’t mind, sir, I’m leaving.” Showing no friendliness, he didn’t want to have anything to do with this man anymore.

Luo Yi also threw a vicious glare at him. Knowing he was a martial arts master hand, he did not want to provoke him.

“Yo, isn’t this Lord Xu? Have you heard what happened in town these days? Your granddaughter is a real beauty. You do need to look out for her.”

Du Chuxuan and Yuxing Tianrui heard that as they arrived at Green Hills Temple. When they turned around, they saw Lord Xu of Luosheng Gate with his granddaughter being stopped by someone.

Whoever heard such words would not be in a good mood. Lord Xu’s brows knitted at once. “If those scums ever dare to mess with me, I’ll let them know the power of Luosheng Gate.”

He grunted and led his men inside. It was true that many sects had their own history. But what was valued in the assembly was never a sect’s heritage, but rather its potential.

Therefore, the participants were usually young men in their twenties. It was easier to see which sect had a more promising younger generation once they were to compete with their peers.

Considering Luosheng Gate’s attitude, it was obvious that Lord Xu’s granddaughter was the candidate it offered this time.

“Luosheng Gate has a long history. From the aspect of heritage, it can be considered one of the oldest sects. Lord Xu’s granddaughter is also talented. She has absorbed all of the sect’s cultivation method, I think she is the one who is most likely to carry the sect forward in a hundred years.”

Luo Yi told the two about Luosehng Gate, doing a good job as always. “However, it is a secluded sect, so it isn’t very close with the court and doesn’t have much influence in court.”

No matter how much the emperor hated the connection between the imperial court and Wulin, it was impossible to separate the two.
