Zuiying sneered as he watched the silhouette of Xu Ziling’s back as she ran away. “That rebellious young lady’s att.i.tude is so poor. Who would ever dare marry her? I won’t marry her even if she was the last woman on earth!” He mumbled.
With that said, Zuiying spun around to head back into the tent, and hid in the shadows in a flash.
Han Moze sat on the bed with an extremely serious and grave look on his face, as he trained his inner breath skills.
Xu Ziling ran back to her own tent in fumes, stomping viciously and begrudgingly.
“Young Lady, what’s wrong? Why do you look so angry?” asked a confused maid in a pale yellow dress. The dainty and charming maid looked energetic as she walked up to Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling looked at her with humiliation and anger in her eyes, then gritted her teeth. “Xiao Yun, come up with a plan for me. How can I teach that vulgar shadow guard a lesson?” She said whilst huffing and puffing.
Xiao Yun c.o.c.ked her head and blinked her big eyes. “Young Lady, who are you talking about? Also, how can a puny shadow guard dare be vulgar towards you?” She said in bewilderment.
Xu Ziling turned to look in the direction of Han Moze’s tent with clenched fists. “That shadow guard is called Zuiying. I hear he was an infamous low-life in the past. Just now, that low-life wanted to actually a.s.sault me! Just outright vile!” She said through gritted teeth.
The more Xiao Yun heard, the more astonished she felt. Her bottom jaw was practically about to fall! “Y-young… Miss, a shadow guard dared to a.s.sault you?”
Xu Ziling spun around and spoke with a dissatisfied look on her face. “Why would His Majesty have a shadow guard like him by his side?”
Xiao Yun paused for a moment, then pursed her lips in contemplation. “I reckon Your Majesty still hasn’t realized the shadow guard’s real ident.i.ty.”
Xu Ziling’s eyes quivered and lit up. Then, a wickedly chilling smirk appeared in the corner of her mouth.
…
On the following day, the morning sun rose and the first rays of sunlight shone brightly down upon the land.
The forests provided shade over the bypath. The light winds were warm and waves of the rustling leaves came through.
Han Moze led the large army forward on road.
Xu Ziling looked down at the little rocks in her hands with a wicked smile on her lips.
Zuiying, you dare tease me? You’re dead!
Xu Ziling suddenly looked up and her gaze locked onto the silhouette of a back in front of her in the distance.
Then, she grabbed a stone in her right hand and hurled it at Zuiying.
The stone shot like a thunderbolt towards Zuiying, who was dressed in black.
Zuiying smirked silently and quickly stretched his right hand out, then grabbed the rock soundly in his hand.
With a swift movement, he casually threw the rock in his hand behind him.
Xu Ziling’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly shot wide open. Did that vile shadow guard dare fight back? She’s the general’s daughter! One of the most beautiful women in the capital! Who would dare hit her?
Xu Ziling dodged the rock in a panic, but it unfortunately struck her shoulder.
Xu Ziling let out a painful cry, and immediately reached her hand out to rub the swollen shoulder. She grimaced in pain for a long time before it subsided.
Zuiying, I’m not done with you yet!
Lian Jiuhua blinked in confusion, then turned to glance at Xu Ziling, who was just hit by the rock.
Then, he drew closer to Zuiying with excitement all over his face. “Brother Zuiying, what’s with you and Young Lady Xu? Why did she throw a rock at you?” He asked.
Zuiying had an obscure smile in his handsome eyes. “Imagine trying to have a sensible conversation with a completely unreasonable woman, what kind of outcome do you think you’ll get?” He said ambiguously.
Lian Jiuhua slightly furrowed his brows, deep in thought for a moment. “Can one talk some sense into a completely unreasonable woman?”
Zuiying raised his brows and grinned helplessly. “And this is precisely why she’s trying to hit me with a rock – because she could not be reasoned with!”
