Chapter 379: Confinement and Freedom (2)
Gong Yimo was really speechless, but she remembered that she was a man right now, so she let go of her.
“This lady, you’re the one trying to steal my money and I just caught you. Now, you want to turn the tables against me?”
But that woman was an usual thief, so how would she be reasonable? While crying, she hurriedly pulled someone and said, “Young man, please save me! This person wants to hara.s.s this lady in broad daylight! Young man, please bring me justice!”
Gong Yimo followed the direction and looked over, smiling moments later. The other party was clearly a young lady disguising as a man. They didn’t even wear a corset in order to restrain her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. It was overly obvious!
But once the female heard it, she really believed in the woman’s words. She coldly took out the whip wrapped around her waist and said, “Preposterous! Don’t be scared. I’m here! I want to see who dares to hurt you!”
When the thief saw that someone actually believed in them, they eagerly and hurriedly nodded, hiding behind the female. They were waiting for a chance to escape. Meanwhile, Gong Yimo stared at the female interestingly and smiled, saying, “Don’t be fooled by her. I don’t have thoughts about her.”
Seeing how Gong Yimo was smiling casually, the female got even angrier. “Pah! You don’t seem like a good person. You must’ve accused the woman to be a thief because you saw how beautiful she was. I’ve seen many skirt-chasers like you guys! I, Long Hanyan, will rid the evil for the people today!”
The moment she announced her status, Gong Yimo vaguely remembered her. However, she found it strange because this Long Hanyan should’ve long died due to sickness. Therefore, why was she still alive?
It seemed like her rebirth changed many people’s fates…however, why was she out of the imperial palace instead of staying in there?
Gong Yimo said nothing which made Long Hanyan even angrier. She whipped her and after Gong Yimo snapped out of her trance, she softly waved her hands and caught it. She said a bit helplessly, “This lady, you don’t understand the entire situation. You won’t be able to marry anyone with how rude you are.”
The audience had laughed. Long Hanyan could only blame herself for not doing a good job at disguising as a man. Plus, she had done so in broad daylight, so how could she be any better than the rest?
Yet, Long Hanyan recalled Gong Jue’s stern and icy eyes. He wanted to kill herself. Therefore. Gong Yimo’s words had ripped her wounds open. Murderous intention flickered in her eyes and she suddenly took out her whip, her moves severe and fierce!
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You’re the one that can’t marry anyone. Go die!”
Seeing that Long Hanyan was being serious, the audience scattered off.
“Murder! There’s a woman murdering in public!”
Qiu Xingfeng who had been buying rations from afar had heard the cry. He secretly said “d.a.m.n!” His disciple must be causing trouble again!
Why did he need to use the word “again?”
Because on their journey here, his disciple seemed to be in an angry mood. No matter what she disapproved of, she would intervene. Therefore, it took many years before they arrived at the border city.
He had an innocent mind, so he naturally wasn’t able to guess that Long Hanyan was mad because of a request. Therefore, she vented her anger on people. However, he took it as his disciple liking to come to the aid of an injustice. As a result, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the call.
Gong Yimo didn’t bother to duck and stood at her spot, allowing her to whip herself. But even if that’s the case, the whip seemed to have eyes and it didn’t hit her even once. This was the benefit of the sixth realm — control through s.p.a.ce.
Long Hanyan knew that she had met her match this time. While not knowing how to bring this battle to an end, she saw Qiu Xingfeng’s figure, so she hurriedly said, “Master, please save me! This person wants to murder me!”
