Chapter 114: Chapter 93: Terrified the Crown Prince!_3

Jiang Shouzhong continued to fight steadily and used his opponent’s attacks to practice his Chasing Wind steps and boxing techniques.

At first, his dodges appeared awkward, and he was hit twice on the side of his waist. However, as Jiang Shouzhong’s footwork became more skilled, his evasions grew effortlessly smooth. Finally, in the moment when the young girl paused to catch her breath, a previously ineffective punch landed squarely on her abdomen.

The maid’s body shook, and she let out a muffled grunt of pain.

"You’re asking for it!"

Thinking she had merely been careless, the aggrieved maid clenched her teeth and continued her attack.

One punch!

Two punches!

After being struck by Jiang Shouzhong’s fifth punch, the girl’s face had turned deathly pale. It was not just the external pain, but also a sensation as if a wave of heat were cutting through her body like a knife, recklessly damaging her muscles, organs, and bones.

By then, she realized she was no match for Jiang Shouzhong.

Not until the eighth punch hit the girl’s chest did the accumulated force of the previous punches completely unleash. It was as if the air itself had been torn apart, emitting a sharp, ear-piercing whistle.

Bang!

The girl spat out blood and was sent flying backward, her upper garments shattered, revealing her fair skin. Her internal organs and ribs had been severely damaged, and she lay on the ground unable to rise.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

No one had expected a Second Grade Martial Artist to be overpowered by a third-grade lad.

Zhou Xiyue, who originally had a cold smirk on her lips, was in utter disbelief.

Jiang Shouzhong was also stunned.

Looking at the maid’s tattered clothing, he wondered how his boxing technique also seemed to have a shredding effect on clothes.

Seeing the maid on the ground, unable to get up, the small princess’s face was extremely ugly as she angrily said, "Useless! Truly a worthless creature! Ma Wu, he dared to hurt my person; go and cripple his cultivation!"

Immersed in shock, Crown Prince Zhou Wei’s expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to reprimand, Ma Wu had already swiftly moved in front of Jiang Shouzhong.

This master, who was about to step into the Sanctum Ascension realm, stood in front of Jiang Shouzhong, overshadowing him like a towering Mount Tai overlooking a small hill at its base, giving him no chance to struggle. Just as he was about to strike, his expression abruptly changed, and he quietly retreated next to the Crown Prince, whispering, "Taoist Li has arrived."

Zhou Wei shuddered, turning his head to look, and indeed, in the distance, a slender and graceful figure like a cloud or mist appeared in his sight.

Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, he had bet correctly that this lady was secretly watching the scene unfold.

Zhou Wei straightened his clothes and glared at his sister who had caused trouble at someone else’s doorstep.

The small princess bit her thin lips hard but ultimately, still reluctantly moved aside, daring not to make another scene.

"Zhou Wei has seen Taoist Li."

As the woman approached, the Crown Prince respectfully bowed.

Li Guanshi, who previously left Jiang Shouzhong feeling snubbed, now completely ignored the three siblings, walked past them with his hands behind his back.

As he reached the gate, Li Guanshi finally dropped a sentence, "You are not worthy."

Zhou Wei was stunned, then managed a bitter smile.

Well, having waited so many days, this was the result he got.

Although he had been mentally prepared for rejection, hearing it so directly and decisively still kindled a flare of anger within him.

Neither the apprentice nor the master thought highly of him.

Am I, Zhou Wei, really that terrible?

But, recalling his mother’s advice, Zhou Wei could only forcibly suppress his anger, and with a bow to the now-shut gate, he said, "Zhou Wei will not disturb Taoist Li any further and takes his leave. Should the Taoist face any difficulties in the future, feel free to seek me out. Zhou Wei will help as much as he can."

"Brother, she—"

The usually imperious small princess was exceedingly furious with Li Guanshi’s attitude, her pretty face turning livid with rage.

"Let’s go."

The Crown Prince gave a helpless smile.

Zhou Xiyue clenched her fists tightly and gave Jiang Shouzhong an evil stare as if to say, "You just wait," then bit her silver teeth and turned to leave.

After a few steps, she stopped, turned back, and looked at the tightly closed courtyard gate, mocking, "Jianghu brothel keeper!"

The Crown Prince’s expression changed drastically, he wanted to scold her, but Zhou Xiyue, like a kite, was pulled up from the ground and then heavily smashed into the pond.

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere, shocking everyone present.

"My lady!"

Ma Wu, who came to his senses, eyes red with rage, quickly skimmed over and pulled the desperately struggling princess out of the water.

The soaked Zhou Xiyue had a pale face, the few mouthfuls of pond water she accidentally swallowed made the young girl’s tears and snot flow freely, her appearance was extremely embarassing, no longer having the earlier haughtiness and composure.

"Li Guanshi, you’ve got some nerve!"

Ma Wu, whose duty was to protect the Crown Princess, was shocked and furious, drawing his sword and rushing toward the courtyard gate.

Zhou Wei’s expression remained cold, he did not speak to stop him.

No matter how famous one was in the Jianghu, to act so presumptuously towards a royal was inexcusable, and deserved punishment for his entire family!

Knowing his master’s intention, Ma Wu saw the Crown Prince’s silent consent and hesitated no further, his body instantly illuminated with golden light, as if he had donned a layer of brilliant armor, the sight awe-inspiring.

"Li Guanshi, come out!"

From a Jianghu grandmaster to a mere palace lackey, Ma Wu was an exemplary case of leaping through the dragon gate, though he shed the unruliness of Jianghu, he also developed the arrogance of a royal guard dog.

Li Guanshi’s disrespect to his young mistress right in front of him undeniably was a slap in his face.

How could he tolerate it!

Even if he couldn’t win, he needed to let that woman know exactly how heavy his weight was, and how stupid the consequences of not giving face could be.

The setback he previously faced at Ran Qingchen’s just had to be reclaimed today!

Bang!

The courtyard gate burst open.

The next second, Ma Wu flew out backwards.

The armor on his body crumbled in layers as if it was made of paper.

Ma Wu bled from seven orifices, heavily falling to the ground, motionless, barely breathing.

Defeated in a single move!

At the same time, the Mutton Fat Jade Pendant at Zhou Wei’s waist shattered into pieces.

Zhou Wei’s pupils contracted, and he looked up at the empty courtyard gate and said, "Taoist Li, please calm your anger. My little sister was just too quick with her words and offended you. If there was any impropriety, I’ll report it to the Emperor myself and personally come to resolve the misunderstanding."

The Crown Prince quickly mentioned the Emperor.

All around was dead silent.

Drops of sweat rolled down the Crown Prince’s temples into his neck.

Even Zhou Xiyue, normally fearless, was curled up in Zhou Kang’s arms, her delicate body trembling.

"Get out!"

A woman’s voice came from inside the courtyard.

Zhou Wei let out a soft sigh of relief, his arm hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly, his back soaked with cold sweat.

This woman... truly a madwoman!

Watching a large group of people leave, Jiang Shouzhong was also shaken and tensed, standing in his spot, daring not to make a sound.

Not to mention a Second Grade Martial Artist, even a minor Xuan master was nothing in front of these supreme masters. The road of cultivation was long and arduous; he still needed to work hard.

Inside the courtyard, Li Guanshi’s voice faintly rang out again.

"What? Don’t you want to come in?"
