Chapter 190 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 6 (1/2)

In the end, Qin Langyue still discovered the culprits behind Qin Kui’s assault,and like in the original setting, maimed their manhoods. Which, of course, resulted in a bunch of clans who were out for revenge. Though Qin Langyue always managed to get out alive, it was always by the skin of her teeth

And with the male lead coming around to make things worse for her, Qin Langyue’s days were essentially a tragedy.

Even Shi Sheng could feel how miserable her life was. ‘Why’d you act when you couldn’t clean up the evidence? Idiot!’

“What’re you following me for?! Scram!” Qin Langyue shoved Jun Hanlin. ‘I nearly died today! But this idiot’s still making trouble for me!’

Jun Hanlin stumbled. Killing intent flashed in his eyes when he lowered his head, but he quickly reverted to normal by the time he looked up and clambered up from the ground. “Wife, don’t be angry. I’ll help you beat up the bad guys!”

Qin Langyue mocked out of anger. “What bad guys could you beat, you idiot? Stop following me!”

Qin Langyue departed in large strides, leaving Jun Hanlin by himself. Once Qin Langyue’s figure had disappeared from view, he retracted the dumb smile as his sharp, cold gaze stared in the direction had Qin Langyue left.

“Yo, not playing dumb anymore?”

Jun Hanlin’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned around.

From the flower bushes but a few steps from him, a young girl stood with her arms crossed in front her chest. Her pink lips were slightly lifted at the edges, though she remained expressionless.

The flowers and person complemented each other, but the person appeared more stunning than the flowers.

‘Her! I haven’t repaid the favor for tossing me off the roof yet, but here she is delivering herself to my doorstep!’

“So you were aware.” Jun Hanlin dropped the pretence and examined Shi Sheng brazenly. “I hadn’t thought that the Eldest Young Miss of the Shen Clan would also be someone who held her cards close to her chest.”

“Shen Yaoguang doesn’t have any trump cards. Haven’t her cards been openly displayed from the beginning?”

Why was Shen Yaoguang so worshipped?

One reason was because of her talent. Another reason was because of the Shen Clan’s influence. The second weighed more heavily than the first, though. Like Shi Sheng said, no matter how talented Shen Yaoguang was, without the Shen Clan, she could only be pushed around at others’ whims.

The Shen Clan did give Shen Yaoguang the support she needed, but they’d always just viewed her as a tool whose value was measured by how many benefits she could contribute to the clan.

“You know your limits.” There was satisfaction in Jun Hanlin’s eyes. He liked the women who knew their own position.

“Know my limits? Sorry, but no, I don’t.” Shi Sheng scoffed, “I was referring to the old Shen Yaoguang. And I’m no longer that Shen Yaoguang who was just a puppet for others to play with.”

Jun Hanlin’s gaze became sharp, and the temperature of the surroundings seemed to drop.

“What do you reckon…” Shi Sheng’s eyelashes fluttered as her clear voice flowed into Jun Hanlin’s ears, “…the imperial clan will do if they discover you’ve just been acting dumb this whole time? I don’t think you’re able to fight against them yet, right?”

Though Jun Hanlin’s heart pounded, his expression didn’t change.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll silence you?”

“You’re welcome to try,” Shi Sheng spoke with an obnoxious expression.

Jun Hanlin was already considering doing just that. ‘I can’t just leave her be.’

But just as he planned to make a move, the sounds of people approaching could be heard in the distance. Jun Hanlin weighed the pros and cons for a moment, then spoke, “Shen Yaoguang, you’d best keep your mouth shut.”

“My mouth is my own. What, you wanna sew it up?” Shi Sheng continued provoking him.

As the sounds of others approaching neared, Jun Hanlin could only shoot a warning glare at Shi Sheng before running off and disappearing from Shi Sheng’s sight.

Jun Hanlin wanted to silence her, but before he could, Shi Sheng went and announced that the Seventh Prince wasn’t actually the fool he portrayed himself to be.

Now this was how one pulled aggro.

Jun Hanlin now felt like charging into the Shen Clan’s premises to kill her just to vent his rage. ‘She really dared to say it!’
