Chapter 113: Chapter 93: Terrified the Crown Prince!_2

And what exactly did the Liushan Division’s hidden lantern have up his sleeve?

A matchlock gun?

Zhou Wei shook his head with a smile, mocking his own worries—for even if Li Guanshi didn’t choose him, he certainly wouldn’t pick such a bumpkin.

Princess Zhou Xiyue’s expression, however, suddenly turned gloomy, and her eyes blazed with intense hatred and murderous intent.

The princess, who had been insulted that night, hadn’t dared to complain to her father, especially after the attack of the Demon Venerable, and thus had kept her lips sealed.

But to let the matter rest was naturally impossible for her.

Originally, Zhou Xiyue planned to wait a few more days for the situation to settle down, then look for an opportunity to settle the score with Jiang Shouzhong, but to her surprise, he had come to her doorstep today. How could the princess, who always sought to return slights and vent her anger, forbear?

"Heh heh, isn’t this Master Jiang who demanded an apology from this young lady?"

Zhou Xiyue gave a few guards beside her a meaningful glance and said with a cold smile, "What’s the matter? You think my apology wasn’t sincere enough and came running over, sniffing around to demand another one? Your dog’s nose is indeed quite keen."

Jiang Shouzhong was also at a loss for words at the moment.

This made him think of a saying, "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."

"Yue’er!"

Crown Prince Zhou Wei stepped forward to stop his sister’s nonsense.

After all, they were in front of Li Guanshi’s residence, and if they caused a big commotion and annoyed that woman, the loss outweighed the gain.

Zhou Wei gave Jiang Shouzhong an apologetic smile and tentatively asked, "Is Master Jiang also here to see Taoist Li?"

"I’m here to investigate a case," said Jiang Shouzhong, finding an excuse, "I can’t disclose the specifics, I’m very sorry."

"Understood."

Zhou Wei smiled and nodded.

Guard Ma Wu eyed Jiang Shouzhong, feeling somewhat astonished.

If he remembered correctly, the last time he saw this young man, he was just an ordinary person; now, however, he stood as a warrior of the third-rank Martial Artist Realm, secretly also a cultivator.

He walked over to Zhou Xiyue and whispered to her.

The girl was initially startled but then looked at Jiang Shouzhong with great interest, a cold smile blooming on her lips.

Zhou Xiyue, with her hands behind her back, tiptoed over to the Crown Prince’s side, and said cheerfully, "So it turns out Master Jiang is a high-level cultivator as well. What a coincidence, one of my servants is also of the Martial Artist Realm just like you. How about you two spar a bit, make friends through martial arts, and consider it an end to our grudges, what do you say?"

His sister’s keenness for revenge was giving Zhou Wei quite a headache, and he deeply regretted bringing her out of the palace.

"Yue’er, stop it!"

Zhou Wei glared at his sister with a dark expression, signaling her to consider the bigger picture.

There would be plenty of opportunities for revenge.

But how could the princess, full of pent-up rage, easily let things slide, especially when he had come alone and it wasn’t likely, as last time, that someone would intervene halfway? How could she miss such a perfect opportunity?

However, Zhou Xiyue also understood that it wouldn’t do to be too presumptuous in front of someone else’s residence, so she reluctantly modified her request, "We’re just sparring, no one will die."

Without waiting for the Crown Prince to say a word, she turned and ordered one of the maids serving her, "Xiao Ying, you go and spar with Master Jiang. Remember, make friends through martial arts, aim to touch without harming, and be sure to show mercy when necessary, so as not to embarrass Master Jiang too much, as he is a man after all."

Having said that, Zhou Xiyue turned to Jiang Shouzhong with a smile, "Master Jiang, my maid here is at the same Martial Artist Realm as you, so it won’t be considered bullying."

Having her personal maid humiliate him was undoubtedly a great blow to one’s dignity.

And Zhou Xiyue had deliberately ignored the fact that this maid was actually of the second-rank Martial Artist Realm.

Between the second rank and the third rank, there was a vast chasm.

Seeing that she didn’t give him a chance to refuse, Jiang Shouzhong simply stopped backing down. It was a good opportunity to hone his Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist. The best way to improve martial skills was through combat with others.

And he had an intuition that Ms. Li was watching in the shadows.

He didn’t believe she could watch him in a dangerous predicament and restrain herself from acting, especially since he was there to negotiate cooperation.

Jiang Shouzhong got ready in a fighting stance.

He didn’t reveal the Grandmaster Realm of his Fire Taoist Body at the outset but used his Earth Taoist Body as the basis, while secretly suppressing his Fire Taoist Body to the third-rank Martial Artist Realm. This way, it was as if two third-rank Martial Artists were fighting, allowing him to more solidly polish his Qinggong and boxing techniques.

"Master Jiang, please forgive me," said the maid Xiao Ying, with a measure of grace, appearing slender and frail but exuding a masculine vigor and fierceness not inferior to any man’s.

The lions in the Lion Garden of the princess had been tamed with her assistance.

The young girl slightly stretched her limbs, her bones making cracking noises. She instantly activated her body, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared three meters away in front of Jiang Shouzhong, a ferocious palm strike aimed at the area near his ear.

Jiang Shouzhong barely dodged it using his swift Qinggong movement technique.

The wind from the strike grazed his ear, causing a stinging pain.

The maid rolled her wrist outward in a powerful lifting motion, smashing toward the position of Jiang Shouzhong’s shoulder blade. Her attack was exceedingly vicious, clearly intending to cripple one of his arms.

Still, her palm strike missed, as Jiang Shouzhong dodged again.

At the same time, Jiang Shouzhong saw his opportunity and threw a punch. His fist seemed to carry a heatwave, causing the girl’s clothing to cling to her, revealing her slender waist.

The maid raised her eyebrows, her lips curling into a sneer of disdain.

"Overestimating your abilities!"

She sidestepped to make him miss, her hands like iron pincers, firmly latching onto Jiang Shouzhong’s oncoming wrist, pouring in all her strength to twist it viciously and cripple the man for life.

However, Jiang Shouzhong merely shook his wrist, and a tremendous force shook the girl’s hands loose, finally surprising her with a look of solemn astonishment.

"This man’s energy is somewhat strange," she thought.

No longer taking him lightly, the maid lunged at him, her palms striking with no reserve and aimed rapidly at Jiang Shouzhong. Each blow was so fast that it left afterimages in the air, barely visible to the eye.
