Chapter 27: Memories of the Imperial Capital

“Knock, knock, knock -”

The wooden door of the side room was knocked from outside, and Xu Yuan turned his head at the sound.

“What’s the matter?”

“Third Young Master, your medicinal meal is ready.” The voice that came into the room was slightly hoarse, belonging to a woman.

“Come in.”

“Creak -”

With a creaking sound, the wooden door was pushed open from outside, and a slender woman dressed in the attire of a shadow guard walked in, carrying a tray.

It was the shadow named Yin/Ying’er who had always been by Xu Changge’s side.

Her face was covered, dressed in tight black clothes, a red waistband, and a neatly tied ponytail swaying behind her head.

Looking at her, Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his memories,

As a typical debauched villain,

As someone who had forced others to serve him despite their unwillingness, achieving glorious victories of conquering five women in one night,

Naturally, Xu Changtian had some thoughts about this graceful shadow by his eldest brother’s side. He had even “subtly” demanded her from Xu Changge during their time in the imperial capital.

The original host felt that she was nothing more than a well-trained dog, a dog with slightly higher cultivation, no different from a lower one.

And the result of that demand was, of course, a severe beating from his eldest brother.

Recalling these memories, Xu Yuan was utterly speechless.

It was too absurd.

Wandering in brothels, sleeping with maidservants, and even attempting to take over their own martial system.

Yin was a high-ranking shadow guard raised by their family.

For Xu Changge to demand someone like that was equivalent to a prince claiming a female general who had returned from the battlefield for his own pleasure.

Although he knew it was ridiculous, the play had to continue.

After confirming that he hadn’t been possessed, Xu Changge didn’t ask anything and simply left.

Where did he get this mysterious technique?

And how did he obtain the Innate Dao Body?

What had happened during their journey when he was considered a pawn, and why did he let go of Ran Qingmo’s life at the end?

All these matters, Xu Changge didn’t inquire about any of them.

Or perhaps,

Xu Changge didn’t believe that his foolish younger brother, who he had beaten up since childhood, would honestly tell him all these things.

If it weren’t for silencing Xu Yuan by hitting him beforehand, Xu Changge even felt that he might have heard some rebellious words from this troublesome guy’s mouth.

Therefore, he decided to keep this shadow who had been following him by Xu Yuan’s side.

Xu Yuan judged it was for protection but also surveillance.

His every move would probably be faithfully reported back to Xu Changge.

His character could change gradually, but it couldn’t happen overnight.

The act of forcing Ran Qingmo to leave by threatening death could somewhat be explained by the feelings he developed for her during the journey. Xu Changge, who was on the mountaintop, should have clearly seen their conversation and expressions at the cave entrance through his soul perception.

Moreover, this absurd act of threatening death was not the first time the original host had done something like this.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yuan’s gaze openly wandered over the slender figure wrapped in tight black clothes of the shadow.

This time, Xu Changge hadn’t used excessive force. Although Xu Yuan was knocked unconscious, after two days, he could already get out of bed and walk.

When Yin entered the room, she silently bent down to place the meal tray on the wooden table in the middle of the side room.

At this moment,

Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled and said, “Heh~ in the end, Xu Changge still gave you to me.”

It seemed like Yin hadn’t heard his words; she continued to take the medicinal meal from the tray and put it on the wooden table.

“.”

Seeing this, Xu Yuan got out of bed, a smile tugging at his lips. He walked slowly behind Yin’s slender figure and raised his hand, seemingly ready to strike at her vulnerability.

His palm came down.

Snap —

A crisp sound reverberated in the quiet side room.

The room fell silent in an instant.

Yin lowered her eyes slightly, showing no emotional fluctuations in her gaze.

Xu Yuan was taken aback.

With her high cultivation, why didn’t she dodge?

In the past, hadn’t she always evaded his attempts to take advantage of her?

After a moment of thought, Xu Yuan’s smile remained unchanged, and he stubbornly prepared to continue his actions. But the next moment, his vision seemed to blur.

“Snap —”

A severed hand fell to the ground.

The severed hand was cut cleanly, and its touch was icy cold, causing a suffocating feeling as if falling into an ice cave.

“Buzz -”

Back to reality,

Xu Yuan’s hand still gently pressed on the woman’s peach-like buttocks, and Yin merely glanced back at him with a calm expression.

This aura reminded him of the illusion he had when he first met Ran Qingmo, with his head soaring high.

In an instant, Xu Yuan understood that she wanted to deal with his voyeurism once and for all with this method.

Breathing a bit rapidly, Xu Yuan stepped back, pretending to grit his teeth, and asked, “What do you mean?”

“.”

Yin remained silent, calmly withdrew her gaze, turned around, and left the room. Before leaving, she gently closed Xu Yuan’s door.

Inside the room, there was silence for two seconds.

“Clang -”

Xu Yuan kicked the wooden table in front of him, and the precious medicinal meal on it was all overturned on the ground.

After catching his breath, Xu Yuan started to rage around the room, pretending to roar angrily, and began to wreck it:

“I’ll kill you! How dare you treat me like this! I’ll make my father kill you!!

“Bastard! When my cultivation is strong enough, I’ll cripple your meridians and throw you into the dungeon!!”

On the rooftop of the loft on the back of the enormous dark eagle, two figures were sitting leisurely, enjoying the breeze.

The scruffy Zhou Chen was lying sideways on the eaves, his sword blade beside him, drinking from a wine gourd with a “tun tun tun” sound.

Sensing what happened in the main room, Zhou Chen shuddered slightly.

This Third Young Master actually dared to touch that woman’s buttocks.

His lips curled, and Zhou Chen looked at the merman named Siziyu beside him, speaking with some respect in his tone:

“As expected of the Third Young Master, his courage is truly extraordinary.”

Siziyu, sitting cross-legged beside him, also sensed what happened downstairs. He chuckled softly and said:

“In such matters, the Third Young Master’s courage has always been extraordinary. Do you remember that Lord Wucheng’s granddaughter was even tied back to the Marquis’s residence by him?”

“Is there such a thing?”

Zhou Chen was somewhat surprised. “I remember that county princess only entered the capital to marry less than a year ago, right?”

That was the granddaughter of the Northern Military God in the court, and he dared to tie her up like that.

The Third Young Master is truly a character.

Siziyu glanced at Zhou Chen and said, “Otherwise, do you think why the Third Young Master came from the imperial capital to Jingjiang City a year ago?”

Zhou Chen touched his scruffy beard, his eyes flickering for a moment. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and asked in a hushed tone, “Did that plan succeed?”

Siziyu’s eyes showed a hint of amusement, “Are you still interested in such matters?”

Zhou Chen grumbled disinterestedly, “If you can’t say, then forget it.”

Siziyu looked into the distance and said slowly, “It almost succeeded. At that time, I was responsible for the Third Young Master’s safety. The eldest son of Marquis Wucheng led people to break into the Marquis’s residence and rescued the girl.”

Zhou Chen shook his head and raised the gourd to drink, “That young marquis? Were you his opponent?”

Siziyu shook his head, “No.”

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, “I remember he has a bad temper. The Third Young Master wasn’t beaten to death?”

Siziyu said in a calm voice, “At that time, the eldest young master was in the mansion, but he didn’t know that the girl was Marquis Wucheng’s granddaughter.”

Silence.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, “Are you suggesting that the Third Young Master kidnapped the girl before she was formally engaged? Is it really that coincidental?”

Siziyu shook his head, “It couldn’t be that coincidental. The Third Young Master said he was instigated, but he couldn’t remember by whom.”
