Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Sinful Beast, How Dare You!

Just as Qin Liuxi was about to be besieged, Yu Changkong made a decisive call: "Da Qiong."

With the tip of his toes touching the ground, Da Qiong leapt into the air, stepped over the heads of the encircling crowd, and gracefully landed in front of Qin Liuxi with a whoosh.

Sword drawn.

"Whoever dares to approach, shall be killed."

Heh.

The populace immediately halted in their steps, their faces turning pale as they looked at the shining soft sword under the sunlight.

Swords and knives do not have eyes; who would dare to make a move?

Life is precious, but not worthwhile without money.

Sifang protected Yu Changkong from the pressing crowd and made their way to Qin Liuxi’s side.

"Are you alright?" Yu Changkong looked down and asked Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi replied, "There is trouble, big trouble; I’ve been hung on a wall."

She pulled down the portrait from the wall and said, "The most important point is, this portrait is too dull; do I really look like this? Look for yourself." She shoved the portrait in front of Yu Changkong, and after seeing his eyes, she belatedly realized, "Oh, your eyes still aren’t functioning; you wouldn’t be able to tell."

Yu Changkong was somewhat at a loss for words. He glanced at the dense crowd before him and said, "Let’s leave this place first."

Crowds lead to chaos.

He signaled Da Qiong to clear the way, asked Sifang to cover their rear, and then walked alongside Qin Liuxi out of the throng.

"Did you offend someone?" Yu Changkong inquired further, pointing to the paper in her hand, "Otherwise, why would they ridicule you like this?"

Qin Liuxi exclaimed, "How could I have? I am so smooth!"

Sifang leaned in and said, "Won’t the master calculate it for herself?"

Qin Liuxi shook her head: "The people of the Mystic Sect predict for others, not themselves. Nevertheless, I can feel trouble racing toward me."

What’s that feeling like, you wonder? It’s like snatching a bone from a dog; the dog harbors a grudge and goes berserk whenever it sees you, charging at you like mad.

This sensation was growing stronger and closer.

"Where are they? Did we see them right? Haven’t let them escape, did we?" An excited voice came from the street corner, mixed with the sound of galloping horses.

"Make way, everyone make way."

Chickens flew and dogs jumped.

And then, Qin Liuxi saw that pompous poodle arriving on a tall majestic horse, swaggering and full of excitement, much like he had seen a juicy bone.

He wore a fiery red robe, his hair festooned with precious stones, and donned a Purple Gold Crown while his body was adorned with life-saving talismans and Magic Artifacts.

Mu Xi, that number one playboy, known as the Little Overlord, the best candidate for demonic possession.

Here he comes, mounted on his tall steed with the Wangwang Team in tow!

Yu Changkong’s eyesight might be weak, but his hearing was first-rate. Seeing the fast-approaching shadowy mass, he frowned.

So many people.

Should he too call upon some Hidden Guards to follow?

Otherwise, should a fight ensue, their side might be at a disadvantage.

"It really is you. Haha, after searching to the ends of the earth without finding you, I catch you effortlessly. Let’s see where you can run now," Mu Xi, with his keen vision, spotted Qin Liuxi from afar and recognized her. He sped over on his horse, which was a treasured breed with great speed. It was nurtured by Mu Xi and just as wild as him, sharing the master’s excitement and rapidly galloping to Qin Liuxi’s front, with hooves raised high.

Crush her!

Da Qiong stepped forward to block, but was pushed away by an invisible force from Qin Liuxi’s hand, even pushing their master and the others back two steps.

Da Qiong was shaken to the core.

Yu Changkong, seeing the horse’s hooves about to fall, was furious with wide eyes and yelled, "You monster, how dare you!"

He was about to rush forward, but Qin Liuxi raised a hand and patted the nearly falling horse’s hoof, which somehow softened, turning at an angle, and slanted to one side, toppling over.

With the horse down, Mu Xi, unprepared, also tumbled toward the base of the wall.

All the guards were frightened, their hearts tightening, "Young Master Heir!"

Their lives were over!

Everyone leaped from their horses and lunged forward to rescue, but they were no match for a shadow that appeared out of nowhere, snatching the falling Mu Xi and setting him firmly on the ground. By the time the crowd regained their senses, the shadow had disappeared.

Qin Liuxi glanced in a certain direction.

Everyone was still in shock, and the trusted servant Shuangquan’s face turned pale as he went to Mu Xi’s side, tremblingly asked, "Young Master Heir, are you alright?"

"I’m fine!" Mu Xi shoved her away and walked straight up to Qin Liuxi, but before he could speak, someone blocked him.

Mu Xi paused, looked up, and saw a handsome young man. His complexion was pale, with the fragility of a sickly beauty, hm, not his type.

"Who are you, and get out of the way for me!"

Yu Changkong stood with his arms behind his back, his tone cold, "Running a horse on the street, you disregard the lives of others."

Mu Xi was taken aback by the reprimand, his slight temper flaring up as he went, "Who are you, and what business do you have to manage me? You’re overstepping your bounds, get lost for me!"

Yu Changkong ignored him, just slightly turned his head to ask, "Are you okay?"

Qin Liuxi saw him standing in front, her eyes curving up, "I’m okay."

She stepped forward, seeing Mu Xi bristling, "Heir Mu?"

Yu Changkong heard this title, frowned slightly, and looked at Mu Xi, "Heir Mu? The one from Duke Cheng’en Mansion?"

"That’s me, will you move aside now?"

Yu Changkong sneered, "I have always heard that the only princely heir from the Duke Cheng’en Mansion is stubborn, lawless, arrogant, and a playboy. Now I see that the rumors are indeed true. Running a horse in the streets, disregarding the lives and safety of others, is this the way of Duke Cheng’en Mansion, or does your family think that all the land under heaven belongs to the Mu Family!"

His tone was cold, even carrying a hint of annoyance, which stunned Mu Xi!

But quickly, Mu Xi recovered, pointing at him and jumping about, "You, who the hell are you to spew nonsense in front of me!"

"Yu Changkong of the Yu Family." Yu Changkong declared his identity indifferently.

Mu Xi did not react immediately, but Shuangquan caught on, remarking that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. Once the other party revealed himself, he remembered.

In the capital, there is a place called Sifang that houses a collection of myriad treasures like musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and antiques, each one a rare gem. Sifang also holds a World Talent List, with separate lists for men and women, with the top fifty talents from Da Feng listed on it.

On the male list, Mr. Changkong of the Yu Family is ranked second. He is not first only because Yu Changkong is blind.

Considering his master’s preferences, Shuangquan had also accompanied Mu Xi in looking at Yu Changkong’s portrait on the World Talent List. At the time, he was only fifteen years old, right? His appearance was peerless, his talent abundant, but his body frail with blindness in both eyes.

Now looking again, Yu Changkong had reached the age of wearing the Purple Gold Crown, his sharpness having long been concealed, his countenance cold and distinguished, with the sword sheathed, yet still intimidating to the onlooker.

Shuangquan quickly explained in a whisper to his own master.

Mu Xi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yu Changkong, "So it turns out you are that blind Mr. Changkong, no wonder you were digging a pit for me as soon as you opened your mouth!"

What "all land under heaven belongs to the Mu Family." Is this attempting to dig a pit for him?

Poison Fruit beauty is indeed no lie; this sickly beauty clearly wants to set him up!
