“Oh, you’re really not holding back, huh?
Do you know how much this Elixir dicine costs per pill?
Do you know that it’s priceless and unattainable even if one wants to buy it?”
Li Junwu tilted her pale neck slightly, her tone dismissive as she retorted:
“Well, your family has money, right?
What’s the matter?
Young Master Xu is starting to feel the pinch already?”
“…..”
Xu Yuan curled his lips, deliberated briefly on how to counter, then stared at Li Junwu’s short, ear-length hair for a few monts, and suddenly let out a laugh.
“Bang!”
Li Junwu slamd her hand onto the case records in front of her, glaring at him, her chest heaving with anger:
“Seriously, are you done or not?”
Xu Yuan shrugged and replied with a grin:
“You’ve always had a personality like a boy, but now with that short hair, you’ve really turned into a tomboy.”
“Xu Changtian, you…”
Hearing this, Li Junwu instantly bristled, clenching her fists while glaring at him, but after holding the stance for a short mont, she lowered her head, turned her face aside, and murmured almost inaudibly:
“It’s just hair – it’ll grow back, so what’s the big deal…”
“What?”
“I said hair grows back after a few years, what’s the big deal?!”
“…..”
After a brief mont of silence, Xu Yuan scratched his ear, complaining:
“Why are you yelling so loudly?”
Whoosh—
A sudden sound of sothing slicing through the air was heard.
Sitting on the chair, Li Junwu sent a swift whip kick straight towards Xu Yuan.
She was going to kill this insufferable idiot!
Seeing this, Xu Yuan remained completely unflustered.
A true expert would not fall for the sa trick twice.
With a gentle lift of his hand, a pull and a twist, he easily neutralized her strength and held her ankle firmly in his grasp.
Li Junwu’s gaze froze montarily, evidently surprised, and she growled in anger:
“Let go of !
Xu Yuan, if you don’t let go, do you believe I won’t use the Protective City Formation against you?!”
“…”
Still holding her ankle, hearing her words, Xu Yuan took a deep breath.
The playful expression on his face gradually faded as he stared at her with her wide eyes, and coldly asked:
“Li Junwu, I have no problem with you cutting your hair as a substitute for punishnt, but before that, were you seriously planning to end your own life?”
“….”
Li Junwu froze for a mont at his words.
Then, the anger on her face dissipated.
She curled her lips into a smile, raised her hand as if intending to flick her hair, only to recall her long hair was already gone.
After curling her lips, she snorted a laugh:
“What?
Is Young Master Xu actually concerned about this lady?”
“Concerned about you?
Did you take a hit to the head?”
“….”
“Exactly.
I shouldn’t have expected anything from you.
If I had known, I should’ve handled this matter myself.
Relying on using your life as a pawn in a bet – how ridiculously stupid.”
“Hey, how am I stupid?
This lady only acted this way because of the analysis you gave before.” Li Junwu sounded a little anxious.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly:
“The analysis I gave you?”
Li Junwu tugged forcefully, freeing her long leg from his grip, and snorted:
“Didn’t you say it before?
That my old man must have planted his Direct Lineage within the high-ups of The Second Town.
So I figured if I attempted to take my own life, soone would stop .”
“Before trying to fake a suicide, this lady deliberately eased my control over the Military Formation.
With the speed of those in the Direct Lineage aided by the Military Array Force, they were bound to stop .”
As she explained,
Li Junwu tilted her pale chin slightly and smiled triumphantly:
“Now the person is identified, and the troops’ morale has stabilized.
Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone~”
As he stared at the woman’s flawless smiling face, Xu Yuan fell silent for a while before suddenly asking:
“…Then what would you have done if my judgnt had been wrong?”
“Huh?”
“You really are an idiot.”
