Chapter 14: Dugu Little Art
Jun Xie's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled his past life. At that time, he was also strolling on the street and saw "her" looking very beautiful, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. Unexpectedly, the girl at that time was apparently also in a bad mood and turned around to scold him: "What are you looking at? Haven't seen a beauty before? Stinky **!" Who knew that the two would meet because of this, Jun Xie himself being an assassin, had always been carefully avoiding something until he got into trouble and separated from two worlds. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
At this moment, Jun Ye seemed to be looking back at history, and his heart couldn't help but feel a warmth. Looking at the girl again, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. He smiled and said: "Miss, it seems like we've met somewhere before, I find you quite familiar."
That girl gritted her teeth and glared at him: "Pfft, this lady is also very familiar with you, a loser! Jun San Shao, what trick are you going to play today? Pretending to meet for the first time?"
"Huh? So we really do know each other? Jun Xie quickly retrieved the information of the arrogant woman in front of him from his memory, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He forced out a conversation: "What a coincidence, it turns out we actually know each other, Miss Dugu."
Is this fate? What's going on here?
Miss "Dugu" stared with wide eyes, while the girl behind her couldn't help but giggle; at this time, Tang Yuan saw that Jun Xie hadn't caught up and turned his horse's head back, hearing Jun Xie's words, he couldn't help but admire him greatly, it turned out that Jun San Shao was quite skilled at flirting with beauties. However, what was even more admirable was his bravery, daring to speak to Dugu Xiaoyi, the number one shrew of Tianxiang Kingdom, in such a way; it's believed that in the entire city of Tianxiang, there wouldn't be many who would dare to do so!
That girl glared at Jun Mo Xie, her eyes slowly filling with a fierce light: "Jun Mo Xie, didn't you get enough of a beating last time? Luckily, this young lady is in a bad mood today and can personally help you loosen up your muscles!"
Jun Mo Xie was taken aback, only then did he remember that this Dugu Xiao Yi girl was actually the one person Jun Mo Xie feared the most. It seemed like she had done something in the past and got beaten up by Dugu Xiao Yi, after which it took almost half a month for him to be able to get out of bed...
"Miss Dugu, farewell for now... Ah, I mean to say that I still have some business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. See you later." Jun Mo Xie prepared to make a quick exit. Looking at the little chili pepper's stance, it seemed like she was about to pounce on him again and engage in a fierce battle. In Jun Mo Xie's memory, this little chili pepper was not very old, but her skills were impressive. If he had to face a few more of her kind, even Jun Mo Xie wouldn't be able to handle it. Although Jun Mo Xie wasn't afraid, at this moment, no matter what, he couldn't reveal his true strength prematurely. It was only natural that he would choose the wise and safe path. Ah, good men don't fight with women!
"Halt, young lady!" Dugu Xiao Yi's chin was raised high, with an air of superiority as she gazed at Jun Xie: "Where are you going? Are you up to some mischief again? Let me tell you, Jun Mo Xie, now that you've run into me, forget about any evil plans. Be good and let me vent my anger, then I'll let you go!"
Tang Yuan's face was covered in sweat, and he stomped his foot anxiously, muttering to himself: "I said, Third Master Jun, this lady is still hiding, how did you manage to provoke her? No matter how beautiful she looks, isn't one's own life more important?"
Looking at the bright big eyes of the girl in front of him, yet putting on a arrogant and domineering attitude, Jun Xie suddenly had an idea, pretending to be shy and hesitant, saying: "Dugu Miss, where we are going... this... cough, it's not very suitable for girls."
"Are you going to go visit a brothel?" As expected, he's so bold that he can even say something like this directly!
Dugu Xiao Yi let out a cold snort and looked at the two of them with disdain: "Despicable and shameless spawn!"
"Who said we're going to the brothel? Do you think everyone thinks like you do?" Jun Xie's face suddenly turned red with anger, as if he had been wrongly accused: "We were just going to Qian Jin Hall to gamble a bit... uh?!" He seemed to have suddenly realized his mistake and hastily shut his mouth.
"Qianjindang? Gambling?" Having heard the first half of Jun Xie's words, Ben was even more furious, but unexpectedly he heard the second half of the sentence. Dugu Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and she smiled with her eyes narrowed, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth: "I really haven't been there, take me!" The commanding tone left no room for argument, and it was truly impossible not to admire the enormity of women's associative thinking.
"Miss..." The young girl beside her was obviously her personal maid, and she gently pulled on her sleeve to dissuade her. This was quite reasonable, as the places that the two rascals of Tianxiang City were going to were probably not good places. As a young lady from a noble family, how could she mix with them?
"Don't worry, I've got two brothers who always talk about Qian Jin Tang, it must be a special place. This time, I'm going to go and take a good look!" She grabbed Jun Xie's ear: "Take me there quickly! If you take me there, I'll spare your life today!"
It would have been easy for him to dodge, but at the thought of it, he didn't dodge and instead walked forward with a bitter face, allowing her to pull his ears.
Behind him, the eight guards all had bitter smiles on their faces, exchanged a glance with each other, and followed after. They actually got along quite well with Du Gu Xiao Yi's eight guards, not that they had a choice, since the sixteen of them were in basically the same situation, following Jun Xie, this young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was naturally stifling to their hearts. In fact, following Du Gu Xiao Yi wasn't necessarily going to make things much better either, everyone's hearts were actually quite stifled, which made it easy for them to get along.
Tang Yuan let out a long sigh and exclaimed, "How did this fierce tigress suddenly appear halfway through? If she had accidentally seen my IOU... Tang Yuan shuddered at the thought: This woman was capable of spreading news throughout the imperial capital within half a day, and making it known to the entire nation within two days... In that case, I'd rather die quickly and cleanly.
A group of people arrived at the Qianli Piaoxiang Building in a mighty and majestic manner, passing through the halls and courtyards to the large courtyard behind. Tang Yuan rushed in eagerly, shouting: "Jun San Shao has arrived, quickly return that thing to me!"
With a burst of triumphant laughter, six young men appeared at the entrance of the main hall. As soon as they showed up, before they could even speak, they saw Dugu Xiaoyi coming in with his ears pinched by Jun Xie, and everyone's face suddenly changed, turning pale.
Currently, the two major factions that remain neutral among the princes are the Dugu and the Jun families; coincidentally, these two major forces have a transcendent position in both the court and the military.
This Miss Dugu Xiaoyi is the only precious gem of the Dugu family, and the Dugu family has seven sons, with only one daughter. As a rare treasure, she was naturally spoiled from childhood, but this little Xiaoyi is not an ordinary girl, her talent is extremely high, at a young age, her cultivation of Xuan Qi is quite accomplished, and she also has a strong sense of justice. In the Tianxiang City, she can be said to have a reputation that precedes her, known as the "Noble Killer". Today, including Junxie, eight young masters are present here, each having suffered at her hands.
Dugu's old master, Dugu Xiao Tian, is also a super Xuanqi expert. It is said that his skills have reached the heavenly level, and he is the only one in the empire who can confront Jun Tian head-on. His position is also equivalent to that of the Grand Duke of the Empire. As for Dugu Xiaoyi's father, Dugu Wujie, and three uncles, they are all Marshals of the Empire, and his seven older brothers are all serving in the military department. It can be said that their power and influence are unparalleled, even surpassing that of Jun Tian's family at present.
