Chapter 52 (1/2)

The thunderous cacophony rang out fro

To describe the scene in four words: A load of chaos

Chu Yu frowned, distractedly unfolding her sleeves to rest an arm on the nearby wall Aoutside ”Yue Jiefei, followon”

In one leap, Yue Jiefei bounded froht, agile feet ”Princess, I would advise against going Even I find it difficult restraining thathappen, I fear I won't be able to protect your highness in the nick of ti a fuss, which isn't worth the trouble”

Chu Yu did not halt her footsteps

She could infer two specifics fro Yue Jiefei hiainst such an opponent This was despite the assassination attempt on the cliffs Fro, the three assassins had been top-notch in skill Being able to face the of a swordsman Yue Jiefei was

The second fact she deduced was a lack of threat in the current situation From Yue Jiefei's tone, it sounded like this was not the first ti occurred often in the past, and Princess Shanyin probably knew of it

But Chu Yu did not know

She really wanted to find out as happening

Briskly exiting Xiu Yuan House, she spied a bunch of people approaching in the distance Even ure before them

Chu Yu observed the red shadow closely before realizing the figure belonged to someone she had seen once - Hua Cuo

This present Hua Cuo was largely different from memory His cheeks were flushed red, brows uplifted, and his eyesa bold allure to his otherwise slightly average features Sword in one hand, wine jar in the other, he walked half-staggering, half-dragging his feet along He sang as he walked, looking like he could care less about anyone in his path Meanwhile, the palace guards encircled hiet too near Every tiroup would follow along

Recognizing Hua Cuo, Chu Yu roughly understood as going on Beside her, Yue Jiefei piped up ”Princess, please don't nize anyone when he gets drunk Also, whenever he drinks, his swords him”

Chu Yu ether with Yue Jiefei, she carried on spectating Hua Cuo in all his unbridled drunken buffoonery

Hua Cuo continued his raucous singing, slowly lu until he neared Chu Yu's whereabouts He was about to cross Chu Yu's path when, in a split second's warning, his wine jar fell with a thud onto the stony pave him to stop his footsteps All around hi some colossal enemy Yue Jiefei dashed forwards in a heroic bid to shi+eld Chu Yu, one hand resting on his sword handle as he stood, gravely waiting

Unable to view the show as she was blocked, Chu Yu cocked her head to one side and stealthily shuffled behind Yue Jiefei Once she had a clear line of vision again, she continued watching the swordseratedhim Colored by his drunken flush, his features see Multiflora Rose A faint reddish light glinted off the slender sword in his hand as he slowly raised it higher Word had it, his sword had turned red after being dyed in the blood of itsan eyebrow, Hua Cuo looked left and right Wherever his gaze fell, its recipient would unconsciously back away a step This carried on, until Hua Cuo's gaze continued to sweep over the entire group, only to land on Yue Jiefei

Yue Jiefei beain?”

Narrowing eyes that glinted under a drunken flush, Hua Cuo ai his newly chosen target, the people around hionize Yue Jiefei at his convenience
