Chapter 364: Chapter 209: Major Resentment?_2

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong suddenly appear, Yang Zhongyou, who was originally chatting and laughing buoyantly with a companion, instantly tensed, his body involuntarily trembling, revealing a trace of panic and embarrassment.

Duo Ying and Hou Qi were equally stunned.

Jiang Shouzhong hadn’t expected to encounter these three here, but after his initial surprise, he regained his composure, smiled, and nodded to the siblings before glancing at Yang Zhongyou.

The latter tried his best to shrink back, not daring to lift his head.

"Miss Leng, who is this?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention.

A young man in black, possessing sharp eagle-like eyes, upon seeing Leng Jing holding the other’s arm, furrowed his brows slightly and asked.

"My friend."

Leng Jing was uninterested in this man, responding icily, and surveyed the room asking, "Where is Princess Sister?"

Snap!

Suddenly, a delicate white hand reached out from behind, gently resting on Leng Jing’s shoulder.

Jiang Shouzhong turned to the sound, his gaze meeting a young woman of delicate beauty and noble demeanor.

The lady’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes twinkling with teasing light, "Little sister Jing, from which Peach Blossom Spring did you chance upon such a handsome young man? No wonder none of these graceful heroes of Jianghu caught your eye. It turns out you already had someone special in your heart, hiding a fine match within."

As she spoke, the lady covered her mouth, her laughter ringing like a bell, clear and pleasant.

"Is this Princess Yingmo?"

Jiang Shouzhong pondered quietly.

Leng Jing, her face flushing, sweetly wrapped her arm around the woman’s, "Princess Sister, his name is Jiang Mo."

"Eh? So, you are Jiang Mo."

Zhou Yingmo’s eyes brightened as she surveyed Jiang Shouzhong, chuckling, "Not bad, not bad at all. Indeed a paragon of virtue. Just some days ago, little sister Jing was praying for me to send someone to find you on the river. If I hadn’t learned that you had reached the Liushan Division, little sister Jing might have jumped into the river to find you herself."

"Princess Sister, you exaggerate way too much."

Leng Jing’s face was flush with embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the other men in the room, except for Yang Zhongyou and Hou Qi, weren’t looking too happy.

Especially the black-clothed young man who had spoken earlier, his clenched fists cracking audibly.

With opportunities so scarce,

everyone had been eager to impress Miss Leng, only to find out after all their effort, she was already spoken for.

Do we deserve to have been mere lapdogs all this time?

Do lapdogs not deserve to experience love?

Jiang Shouzhong bowed with a fist, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my friend."

Zhou Yingmo smiled brightly, asking, "Since I saved your friend, might you owe me a token of gratitude?"

Jiang Shouzhong just smiled, offering no response.

Even without Yeying’s warning, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t feel much fondness for Princess Yingmo. He harbored a natural antagonism towards the royal members from Dazhou.

Instead of taking offense to Jiang Shouzhong’s cool demeanor, Zhou Yingmo’s eyes twinkled with mirth, "Since you’re little sister Jing’s friend, you are a friend of mine too, please, take a seat."

Jiang Shouzhong was pulled by Leng Jing to a vacant seat.

Next to Duo Ying.

"Master Jiang, what a coincidence." Duo Ying’s eyes gleamed.

Danxia Peak, as a renowned faction in Jianghu with many exceptionally gifted and distinctive young disciples, paled in comparison to the shock Jiang Mo had given her; the others seemed merely like children in contrast.

The young man from Liushan Division was too dazzling.

Jiang Shouzhong jokingly said, "Indeed a coincidence, but Miss Duo, don’t assume it’s fate and start getting any ideas about me."

Duo Ying was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, "I already have a senior brother, and I’m betrothed too. Master Jiang is certainly exemplary, but in Duo Ying’s heart, he cannot compare to my senior brother."

"Oh, congratulations, congratulations." Jiang Shouzhong bowed with a fist.

Hearing his junior sister’s words, Hou Qi, who had been solemn beside her, blushed slightly, embarrassed, scratching his head and giving an awkward chuckle, contrasting sharply with his earlier aloofness.

"You all know each other?"

Leng Jing squeezed next to Jiang Shouzhong, curiously asking.

Jiang Shouzhong was about to reply when a sarcastic voice interjected, "So, young master Jiang is from the Liushan Division, renowned for eliminating demons and evils. I suppose young master Jiang’s cultivation must be extraordinary."

The speaker was the black-clothed man.

His smile teasing, he asked, "Even if not a Grandmaster of the Minor Arcana, you must at least be a First Grade Martial Artist, right?"

The black-clothed man asked because he was also familiar with Liushan Division.

Ordinary lamps of darkness there were at most Grandmasters of the Minor Arcana.

Martial Artists like Zhang Yunwu, of the Second Grade, were rarer.

Before Jiang Shouzhong could speak, Hou Qi somewhat discontentedly corrected, "Cheng, you underestimate Master Jiang’s abilities. Do you know he also has a famous nickname in Jianghu..."

"Oh? What nickname?"

Princess Yingmo, intrigued, leaned forward, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

At this, Jiang Shouzhong’s expression changed.

The day prior, after telling Mengniang his nickname, she almost choked on her lollipop from laughter.

Even later, while helping Mengniang with her exercises, she was still giggling.

It was then Jiang Shouzhong realized that Qingchen wasn’t joking.

It was truly embarrassing.

Thus, he had decided not to mention that nickname anymore, yet here was Hou Qi, bringing it up again.

And Hou Qi had no ill intentions; he sincerely admired Jiang Shouzhong,

thinking the nickname sounded impressive.

As Jiang Shouzhong opened his mouth to stop him, Hou Qi proudly declared: "Unmatched in any contest, with hands that could split the heavens... known throughout Jianghu as—The Invincible!"
