Chapter 302: Chapter 221 Jun Wu_2

Seeing Xu Yuan’s expression, Li Junwu was so angry he almost wanted to pick up a wine bottle and smash it on Xu Yuan’s head, but he held back and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Yes, I, Li Junwu, am going to the Western Frontier."

"You’re not kidding?"

Li Junwu clenched his fists and retorted:

"Can’t I go?"

Xu Yuan inhaled a breath of cold air:

"To travel?"

"Travel my ass!"

Li Junwu couldn’t hold back his temper, turned around, and delivered a whip kick at Xu Yuan.

"Whack—"

Xu Yuan grabbed her ankle, but the powerful force in that whip kick made his palm feel a bit numb, and he inhaled a breath of cold air:

"Damn, are you for real?"

This whip kick was very unexpected.

If it hadn’t been for the hellish special training from Feng Jiu Xuan since he had decided to go to the Northern Frontier, he might really have been unable to react in time.

Although he still hadn’t grasped the so-called "intention," he already had some sense of such abrupt attacks.

With her ankle caught, Li Junwu tried to pull it back forcefully, but a hint of bloodlust was already visible in Xu Yuan’s eyes, and she couldn’t withdraw her leg:

"Xu Changtian, let go!"

"If I let go, you’ll hit me again, fat chance."

"......"

Li Junwu stopped talking, Origin Qi coursed through her, she supported herself on the soft couch with one hand, pushed off slightly, and in a flip, her other long leg slashed through the air.

"Whoosh—"

The sound of the air being split approached.

"Whack—"

Xu Yuan grabbed it again, but the powerful force was starting to overwhelm him.

Although Li Junwu cultivated military formations, after all, she had advanced to Fourth Grade.

In that instant of struggle, with a "bang," the sofa she was sitting on collapsed outright.

With a resounding boom, the previously merry and lively hall instantly went silent.

Xu Yuan, without any hesitation, grabbed one of her ankles with each hand, pulled to the side, and Li Junwu lost her balance, falling directly onto the collapsed couch.

A short while later,

Some recognized that the troublemaker was this scourge and left without a second thought, rapidly settling their bills and departing.

His infamous reputation was even more formidable than two years ago.

Ordinary dignitaries couldn’t afford to be bothered by this young master’s disturbance.

In no time at all, the customers in the newly opened "Celestial Palace" quietly dwindled.

After the hall quieted down, the madam next to them, angry but afraid to speak, could only watch from the side, not daring to approach.

After causing a small commotion,

Li Junwu lay back on the couch looking up at the ceiling without moving.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan let go with a chuckle, shook his numbed fingers, and sat back next to Li Junwu on the collapsed couch, next to her slender waist:

"Really, I was just joking. I know you’re going to help your old man."

Li Junwu still remained motionless, staring at the ceiling, and said in a soft voice:

"It’s not because of that that I wanted to hit you."

"Huh?" Xu Yuan feigned confusion.

Li Junwu snorted coldly before continuing:

"Changtian, going to the Western Frontier is my own decision."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "It wasn’t the Marquis of Zhenxi who told you to go?"

Li Junwu, lying on the couch, looked at Xu Yuan’s profile and spoke with a hint of helplessness:

"You might not know, my old man actually doesn’t want me to take over the Zhenxi Army, which is why I’ve always been staying in the Imperial Capital, indulging in food and fun."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan looked back at her, slightly silent:

"The Marquis of Zhenxi must have his considerations."

Li Junwu curled her lip and spoke in a low voice:

"Surrender military power to maintain peace, do you think that’s really feasible?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment before replying:

"The reason the Imperial Court allows the local military power to grow unchecked is because the Sects exist and need to be balanced. Once all these messy affairs are settled, the Imperial Court will inevitably want to take back power. Otherwise, the military governors would become the next Sects.

"Right now, the Marquis of Zhenxi is in his prime, and he probably believes he can handle all these matters before he passes."

Li Junwu remained silent for a few breaths, then suddenly said:

"But what if he can’t sort it all out?"

"....." Xu Yuan didn’t utter a word.

Li Junwu let out a long breath, slowly sat up, and sat beside Xu Yuan, resting her elbow on Xu Yuan’s shoulder and chuckling lightly:

"Changtian, going to the Western Frontier, who knows when will be the next time we meet."

"...."

Xu Yuan turned his eyes towards her and said no more:

"Then I’ll look forward to seeing you become the next Li Qingyan, guarding the Great Desert."

Li Junwu rolled her eyes and punched Xu Yuan in the side:

"I am Li Junwu, not Li Qingyan, and definitely not a second Li Qingyan."

A moment later, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Quite ambitious, aren’t you?"

Li Junwu hummed softly:

"I won’t be outdone by her in the future."

Xu Yuan’s eyes curved, and he spoke softly:

"Alright, you are Li Junwu."

And at that moment,

Li Junwu said softly:

"Xu Yuan, if you need it, I will help you."

"......" Xu Yuan.

Looking at each other closely,

he could feel her breath,

and he also saw the seriousness in her eyes.

But he did not respond.

"...."

Li Junwu also said no more, lifted the wine bottle and drained it in one gulp, then turned to leave.

Xu Yuan hurriedly called out to her:

"Hey, Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzeng—the two lads haven’t arrived yet, are you leaving just like that? It’s likely we won’t see each other for a long time once you leave."

Li Junwu turned her eyes back to him, sighed, and said:

"Changtian, are you pretending to be confused? Their fathers belong to the royal faction. Since the last gathering, both of them have been grounded."

"....."

At her words, Xu Yuan’s eyes slightly lowered.

Li Junwu smiled faintly, patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder:

"Alright, I’m leaving. Don’t miss me too much. Next time we meet, I’ll show you my leg."

After that,

she waved her hand airily and gradually walked away.
