Chapter 256: Chapter 153 Regretful Woman_3

Jiang Shouzhong squatted down, looking at the woman whose face was swollen and bleeding, and said indifferently, "If Er Liang really misjudged and misunderstood your lover, I wouldn’t say anything, after all, the fault lies with us. But now that the truth is out and you’re still being foolish, that’s your own fault."

Long Yuanyuan’s body trembled slightly, her face filled with fear and hatred.

Others might not feel it deeply, but Long Yuanyuan, who had been struck, could keenly sense the strength in that slap; it clearly contained mysterious energy and must be from a minor Xuan master.

Her opponent’s strength, she estimated, was almost equivalent to her own father’s.

Thinking that she had foolishly conflicted with a grandmaster, Long Yuanyuan vaguely regretted it.

It’s true that being overbearing as a woman is not wrong, but as a cultivator, she was most aware of the distinctions in realm and strength. Of course, if her father were here, she definitely wouldn’t bow down.

"Senior, please calm your anger, she is the Miss of the Longwu Escort Agency."

Fu Huren looked at the pitiful state of the goddess, feeling distressed yet daring not to step forward to rescue her, he hurriedly said.

In the inn, some patrons who roamed Jianghu nearby, upon hearing the name "Longwu Escort Agency," all changed their expressions.

After all, that place was guarded by a true grandmaster.

Upon hearing "Longwu Escort Agency," Jiang Shouzhong’s expression also became strange and he asked, "Do you know Kuang Tianguang?"

Kuang Tianguang was the very person Jiang Shouzhong was targeting on this trip.

Zhang Que’er’s uncle.

Fu Huren was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded, "He is our Longwu Escort Agency’s second-in-command."

Jiang Shouzhong was speechless.

He hadn’t even entrusted Zhang Que’er to his care yet, and he had already ended up hitting the agency’s miss, which was more absurd than a drama.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong’s indecisive expression, Long Yuanyuan thought he was scared, and the courage that had been drained from her earlier returned somewhat as she coldly laughed, "Wait for my dad—"

Bang!

Jiang Shouzhong heavily slammed the woman’s head onto the ground, knocking her out on the spot.

"That’s enough, the lesson has been taught. Whether she wakes up smarter depends on her own fate," he said.

Jiang Shouzhong wiped off the blood that had stained his hands and went upstairs with Er Liang and the others.

The onlookers hastily made way, each of them looking at Jiang Shouzhong with a mix of awe and envy, and also some worry, since the Longwu Escort Agency was no easy target.

In a corner, Jin Ao smiled faintly, "I misjudged; didn’t expect him to be a minor grandmaster."

...

Back in the room, Zhang Que’er plopped down on a chair, swinging her slender and tight legs, discontentedly saying, "Just a few slaps count as a lesson? It should have been me doing it."

Jiang Shouzhong took out a handkerchief, wiping the tears from Er Liang’s face, and spoke lightly, "How is your uncle as a person?"

"He’s only been to the Capital twice, he’s pretty nice."

Zhang Que’er rested her hand under her chin, supporting her cheeks, and said, "He’s quite righteous. If he weren’t reliable, my dad wouldn’t have thought of entrusting me to his care."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Since the other party was the second-in-command, he surely had some authority in the escort agency and could protect Zhang Que’er when the time came.

Watching Jiang Shouzhong bring a basin of water, tenderly wiping Er Liang’s face, Zhang Que’er’s eyes dimmed, then turned into melancholy and self-mockery, murmuring, "I know, you and Yan Changqing alike, neither of you like me, that’s why you’re eager to send me away."

Zhang Que’er curled up her legs, hugging her knees, looking out the window at the vast sky, her slightly dangling bangs gently swaying as she murmured, "I hate myself too."

...

Although the innkeeper said she had reported to the officials, the officialdom did not show up in the end. The guests were happy to watch the scene, only regretting that Jiang Shouzhong didn’t teach the arrogant miss a little more.

At dinner, Long Yuanyuan did not come downstairs.

Fu Huren, fearing that the goddess would go hungry, hurriedly carried food to her room, but with Wen Dong there to care and comfort her, he could only leave the food with a heavy heart.

After Jiang Shouzhong came downstairs, the previously noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

The guests very considerately cleared the middle table.

Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat amused, secretly thinking that perhaps this was the treatment of a big shot? Having been accustomed to being a lesser in the Capital, he was really not used to this.

During the meal, several people shamelessly tried to make his acquaintance, and Jiang Shouzhong did not put on airs but exchanged names. However, his identity as a covert agent from the Liushan Division was not revealed, only mentioning that he was from the Capital.

Compared to the attitude of the Miss from Longwu Escort Agency, everyone increasingly felt favorable towards Jiang Shouzhong.

Both were masters, but a grandmaster is indeed a grandmaster.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Shouzhong, under the admiring gazes of the crowd, left.

Late at night.

The moon was covered by thick clouds, still gloomy.

Since they could leave the city the following morning, many spent their last night openly drinking. Although no one dared to speak plainly at the wine table about the Miss being reprimanded, their expressive glances conveyed their inner satisfaction.

Meanwhile, a huge mirror slowly floated up into the sky.

In Long Yuanyuan’s room.

The Miss, whose facial injuries had healed a bit, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with hatred, "When my dad comes, this humiliation must be repaid doubly! I’ll make him regret it for life!"

Wen Dong tenderly fed Long Yuanyuan rice porridge bite by bite, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "I’m just afraid your father-in-law might not take action."

"He will! I’m his daughter, he will definitely step in to teach that boy a lesson!"

Long Yuanyuan stared into her lover’s eyes and said firmly, "Wen, let’s not leave. When my dad comes, I’ll tell him personally that I will marry no one but you! Wen, why don’t you take me tonight? Once we make the rice into cooked rice, my dad won’t be able to stop us."
