Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

130. Fury

The person that spoke was none other than the third prince. Just a moment ago, the master hand who was sent here to protect him by the royals had clearly made his move, and was now standing three feet in front of Du Chuxuan.

Du Chuxuan was slightly surprised since he had never seen such a powerful person when he was in the palace.

Presumably, Sect Luo wasn’t the only one with connections to the court, and the emperor also had his own forces. He simply wondered which sect today had such a powerful man.

With just a glance, he set his eyes on the other two figures. Looking at the man in extremely beckoning red, his mouth twitched. “What are you doing up here? It’s not like I can’t beat him.”

“I just see a dog barking, and I want some of that meat today.”

“Puff!” Jiu Dengdan spewed out a mouthful of wine, then turned around to apologize to those around him. He really didn’t intend to do that but he felt that Ashina Yi was getting meaner.

Ashina Yi shot a brief glance towards Jiu Dengdan’s direction, but didn’t say anything.

Lord Sun was still able to stay calm having been stopped by the third prince, for he was a royal. He wasn’t ready to provoke conflict between the court and Wulin because of himself. However, the arrogant young man who was extremely similar to Du Chuxuan irritated him. “Ignorant bastard! Who are you cussing at?”

“Whoever asks.” Ashina Yi opened his mouth, evil. “You are too old to ask me about something even a kid knows. What a shame.”

Now, Lord Sun’s face turned to the color of pig liver. He felt uncomfortable choked with anger. Seeing that, Sun Miaomiao returned to her senses. No longer weeping, she rushed over and held Lord Sun by the arm. “Grandpa, how are you? Lord Black Sand, are you just going to stand by?”

Unexpectedly dragged into the dispute, Lord Black Sand shook his head helplessly. “Miaomiao, it’s not that I’m not helping you. The fact is, the person you have an agreement with is Yang Zhen. He’s no longer a member of my sect now, so naturally the agreement doesn’t count.”

What a joke. Luosheng Gate had clearly earned itself enmity from the Lord of Sect Luo because of Sun Miaomiao and Lord Sun. Even though Lord Black Sand needed an ally, he wouldn’t find one that gave him a hard time, no. If the first-tier power didn’t work, there were still second-tier sects, which was easier to control and better for his development.

In an instant, Lord Black Sand made the choice that was best for him.

Du Chuxuan had guessed that. He didn’t bother to look at this ugly truth, instead turning his gaze to the person who had been silently restraining his presence. That man had jumped up the stage almost without any hesitation and he was wearing Manlou’s clothes!

“The Wulin Assembly isn’t very exciting, after all.” A single sentence from Du Chuxuan threw the venue into silence. “I came here to see good martial arts. Well, I didn’t expect Wulin is full of rascals now.” Chuckling, he left the stage.

“According to the rules, I’m considered to have passed, right?” He looked towards the third prince who was still on the stage, seemingly calm.

“Sure.” The third prince meant to befriend Du Chuxuan. Besides, the latter didn’t break any rules so far. He was naturally willing to do him a favor.

According to the rules, one won as long as one held the ring over the time of burning one incense stick. Du Chuxuan did that successfully.

With a snap, Du Chuxuan put away his fan. “Your Highness, you are one clever man. I’m quite tired today. I’ll go first.” As he spoke, he already made a leap and appeared next to Yuxing Tianrui as he fetched the man up. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Hearing that, everyone turned to his direction, including Lord Sun and Lord Black Sand. When seeing the person in his arms, everyone stiffened for no other reason than that he was openly embracing a man!

Yuxing Tianrui knew what was on Du Chuxuan’s mind the second he saw the banter in his eyes. However, he was pissed at his boldness. If it were a normal day, he would be willing to play along. But right now, he punched Du Chuxuan on the chest. “No need for you to come back tonight.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out with his men, leaving Lord Luo who was in the limelight a moment ago behind, alone.

Du Chuxuan touched his chest with his left hand. It still hurt a bit. His little jealousy jar’s seizure of anger really wasn’t something he could handle easily.

“My Lord, this way, please.” Jiu Dengdan had already stood next to Yuxing Tianrui. There was no way to get out of the situation at this time, so he bowed slightly and made a respectful gesture of welcome.

Yet his action was another kind of shock to the crowd. Everyone knew of Jiu Dengdan’s abilities. Wasn’t he famous for his interest in nature and no intention of relating himself with any sect? How come such a powerful man was also a member of Sect Luo? How powerful was this secluded sect, then?

Du Chuxuan had no idea what the crowd were thinking. Being invited out so respectfully by his own master-shifu should have been something worth showing off for the rest of his life. But there was a big trouble waiting for him outside, and he really didn’t want to face it now.

With his head down, there hung a smug smirk on Jiu Dengdan’s face. Huh, the little brat is too young to play tricks on me. I don’t think the one outside can’t hear me after I shouted so loudly! What is he waiting for? Get out!

As Du Chuxuan was about to step out with a bitter face, he heard the third prince call from behind, “Lord Luo, we’ve all seen your marvelous skills today. Don’t forget the final competition is in three days.”

Without responding, he left directly. As soon as the door closed behind him, all the yelling inside disappeared.

“My Lord, you are really impressive today.” Luo Er, slow as he was, still wasn’t aware of the situation. He was simply happy for Du Chuxuan. Yet his words ignited the powder keg.

“Lord Luo, have you had a good time today? Are you going to join me or not?” Du Chuxuan could still hear banter in the first sentence, yet he knew Yuxing Tianrui was indeed angry from the second one. He was going to have a bad time now.
