Since Shen Zhi fell off a cliff due to an assassination and was reborn as Xie Xun, he has never truly collapsed emotionally despite the bizarre twists and turns he’s experienced.
But at this mont, he genuinely wants to kill Cui Yun.
Xie Xun’s vision darkened, unable to accept this matter, and he almost lost his breath in one go and perished.
"Cui Yun!"
With bloodshot eyes, he didn’t hesitate to draw the sword from his waist, slashing directly at the person opposite him.
Cui Yun moved with surprising speed, dodging to the side. The sharp, shining sword pierced into the wall. Soon, it was pulled out by the swordsman.
One chopping, the other dodging; the swords cast shadows like weaving threads.
Xie Yinong had never seen such a scenario and imdiately turned deathly pale with fear.
Seeing the situation stiffening, Shen Hua, though bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, strode out forcefully with imposing montum.
"So annoying! Early in the morning, it is—"
Upon seeing the scene clearly, the girl paused slightly. Those venomous words dissipated, and then she dignifiedly began to observe seriously.
Upon seeing her, Xie Yinong imdiately ran close, anxious and uneasy: "Swords and knives are blind, what if soone gets hurt?"
Shen Hua gave her a reassuring look that helped her relax.
The next instant, she saw the girl raise her hand, holding her cute, delicate, and charming face.
And began clapping.
"Go for it, Heir Xie."
"The punch you received last ti, at the very least, must be returned now."
Xie Yinong fell silent.
In a corner, Yingwu was cracking lon seeds.
"What a sword!"
"They say Heir Xie’s sword, always at his side, can slice through iron like mud, and today it’s proven true."
"If I could touch it once in my lifeti, I’d die without regrets!"
Ying Yi responded: "...the last ti you took a Jade Pendant from , you said the sa thing."
Yingwu’s expressionless gaze fell to a spot at his waist.
"Is it this piece?"
"Exactly. You said you’d borrow it for a couple of days, but it’s been two years and you haven’t returned it yet."
Yingwu felt as though he was not being very respectable.
But deep down, he quite liked the jade.
He rembered Ying Yi’s monthly salary was five tis his, which is why Ying Yi was the wealthiest among the Shadow Guards, but also the most frugal.
Yingwu was always short of money and had shalessly borrowed many tis.
The borrowing kind with no returns.
Later on, Ying Er, unable to stand it, revealed in front of her that Ying Yi’s savings were for his future wife.
"Is this jade very valuable?"
Ying Yi hoarsely answered: "Not valuable."
"Then why not let wear it for another two years."
Ying Yi looked at her, not agreeing outright but said with so depth: "This is a family heirloom jade, ant to be gifted to the bride on our wedding night."
Yingwu, who still had so conscience left, over the years had always been taken care of by Ying Yi, so she was not greedy or insatiable.
"We’ve been brothers for many years, I won’t take it greedily. I will return it when you get married. If you don’t trust , I can even write a promissory note."
The gears in Yingwu’s mind were turning loudly.
She had heard from Shen Hua many tis that the jewelry store was about to launch new designs soon. And the expensive pieces the girl had previously bought also needed to be dealt with.
She had already prepared a sack to collect them.
At her side, soone appeared at so unknown ti.
Shen Hua realized this spot was the best to watch the fight.
She knew Xie Xun was a military general, but this was the first ti she’d seen a different side of her brother. It was fitting and yet strikingly brilliant.
She slowly turned to Yingwu.
"This is not hard."
The girl suggested, "Why don’t you beco his wife?"
"In that case, his silver would be yours, the jade pendant would be yours, the person would be yours too."
Yingwu fell into deep thought.
The battle there was fierce, Xie Xun chopped off an inch of Cui Yun’s sleeve, and only the sound of clothes tearing could be heard. Hearing the noise from that side, he directly grimaced with a ridiculing laugh.
Unable to contain his anger, he directly pointed his sword at Cui Yun’s throat, precisely at the Adam’s apple, and questioned Shen Hua.
"Why are you coming out of his room? Is your room just for show?"
Xie Xun’s breathing was hurried, and even his usual gentleness beca extrely ferocious.
"Did he coerce you?"
"Tell about this matter from beginning to end clearly!"
"If he bullies you even a bit, I won’t let him go even as a ghost!"
Shen Hua blanked out for a mont.
She first nodded moved, then tilted her head slightly, the girl let out a cold sigh, then spoke softly: "But... it was I who forced him."
Xie Xun’s ears buzzed. His blood seed to stop flowing montarily.
"You—"
He was extrely infuriated.
Mama passed away early, Yangyang grew up without guidance. Shen Wei probably only knew to indulge her repeatedly, how could he pay attention? Added to Mrs. Xue’s intentional neglect.
Fortunately, the girl wasn’t raised wrongly.
But this also led to the most fatal point. Those who were nice to her, the girl wouldn’t guard against them.
She hated betrayal the most, but equally relied on others the most.
In Xie Xun’s mind, Shen Hua rely regarded Cui Yun as a brother, based on all the previous incidents, at least in the way the girl looked at Cui Yun, her eyes weren’t showing any signs of romantic love.
One could even say she didn’t understand anything about love between a man and a woman. Even if Cui Yun showed hints, she probably couldn’t spot them.
This matter beca quite problematic.
Xie Xun asserted unquestionably: "Yining, you go back first."
Xie Yining was very worried, yet she still agreed. Looking back every three steps.
After she left, Xie Xun then turned to Shen Hua.
"How could you lie to to take sides with him?"
"Yangyang, you are a girl!"
"I have emphasized ti and again, girls must not be wronged. Have you forgotten everything?"
His words were spoken through clenched teeth, so much so that his forehead vein popped.
Shen Hua was sowhat startled.
How could she forget what Shen Zhi said?
Yet it was Cui Yun, and furthermore, she was pregnant. However, it couldn’t be Shen Hua who responded, but the Cui Yun who Xie Xun thoroughly loathed. At this mont, Cui Yun leisurely stroked the slightly cut embroidered hem and said: "In this matter... I too was compelled."
Xie Xun: ?Are you serious?
Shen Hua: "Brother, did you hear? He admitted! It has always been like this from the start."
"How could he dare to say a word of no?"
The girl’s little finger smugly flipped up: "He has to listen to ."
Xie Xun’s anger turned to numbness.
"Really?"
Shen Hua: "Naturally."
Cui Yun: "Thank you for your humor, Princely Heir."
With a loud boom, it was as if thunder erupted beside his ear. Xie Xun felt ridiculous, and the hand that was pointing the sword at Cui Yun slowly lowered in a sorrowful pose.
So...
This farce, was it because he didn’t teach his sister properly?
Was it his Yangyang, who brazenly took charge and intruded into Cui Yun’s house at night?
And Cui Yun was the innocent one?
Xie Xun felt so anguish.
He closed his eyes: "Marquis Cui."
"This ti, it is... I who have wronged you."
It was Yangyang who went to him on her own accord.
Cui Yun was rather gentle, choosing to forgive him: "No harm."
His gaze montarily caught a glimpse of a fluttering garnt at the corner, his eyes flickering slightly, before he slowly said to Xie Xun: "Ignorance is not a sin."
