Chapter 157 – Flower Guardian! (2/2)
The Emperor owns all lands; Generals protect millions of people. Princes, dukes and n.o.bles employ a large number of servants, but there are even more ordinary people who live in peace and work happily, relying on their own hard work and hands to feed their families. However, when disaster strikes, they would not have the strength to fight or the ability to protect themselves or their possessions.
Such as their wealth. Such as their beauty.
“Don't slander me.” Chen Xingyu thundered. “Li s.h.i.+nian, if you don't publicly apologise to me and restore my reputation, don't think of leaving the school gate today.”
Li s.h.i.+nian glanced over at the school gate and then at her current location, before she said aloud: “but I've already stepped out of the school gate–Do I need to go back in first so you can say that sentence to me again?”
——Cha——
Chen Xingyu suddenly drew the sword strapped at his waist and pointed at Li s.h.i.+nian's chest, hissing: “You think I don't dare to kill you?”
Li s.h.i.+nian stood still with her back straight as she replied: “Of course you do.”
“——”
Chen Xingyu extremely regretted impulsively pulling out his sword, how would he dare to publicly kill at the school gate?
He does not care less about an insignificant person's life, but he pays serious attention to his own future.
He is a young man with great ambition. He wants to dedicate his talents and blood to the kingdom; accordingly, the kingdom should repay him with a high official position and generous salary, as well as the respect of the whole world.
If he swung down with his sword right now, even if his family could find a way to make things right using his family's relations.h.i.+p, he would carry the notorious t.i.tle of someone who 'killed on impulse'. Who would dare to use him in the future?
Chen Xingyu's hand trembled with anger.
He just said those words casually, why did this idiot woman take it seriously?
According to before, when his sword thrust towards a person, especially if it was a woman, they would quiver and topple backward to the ground, landing on their b.u.t.tocks.
While he would coldly glance at her, saying 'killing you will dirty my sword' and then jerk his sword into the sheath, turn and walk towards the distance, leaving a tall, rear figure and the admiring eyes of countless people–
What is wrong with this Li s.h.i.+nian? She does not act according to his plan at all.
Chen Xingyu was in a dilemma.
Chen Xingyu was very upset.
Chen Xingyu felt there is not one good person in this world.
“Hey, I originally thought today was pretty boring. Day after day have pa.s.sed, and I wasted more time everyday. Didn't expect to see such a drama today—-” A playful voice came from behind.
“Your knight in s.h.i.+ning armour is here.” Chen Xingyu said excitedly. He can't be serious to stab a woman in the chest with a long sword but if there's a man wanting to be the 'hero who saves the beauty', he may not be kind to him.
Chen Xingyu turned his head around abruptly or could not wait to turn around.
As he turned, he also pretended to unintentionally sheath the sword pointing at Li s.h.i.+nian's chest back into its scabbard.
He glared at a youngster dressed in a bright robe with a sugar cane straw in his mouth and thundered in a cold voice: “who are you?”
He actually wanted to hug this guy but to ensure that there isn't a flaw in the storyline and to not disappoint the audience, he can't help but to sacrifice this fool who does not know how high the sky is or how the deep the earth–
The bright robed youngster casually cupped his hands, saying: “Young master, Yan Xiangma.”
His finger pointing at Li s.h.i.+nian behind Chen Xingyu as he said: “Her flower guardian.”
