Chapter 804: Chapter 805: Fei’er’s Worries (5)

In the restaurant, as two experts of internal martial arts skills dueled, one could only hear the ’pop pop pop’ of the wind but not a sound of fists or kicks striking each other. The sight of the maiden with veiled hood gliding like the wind, and the man with a stern face agile as a leopard, their back-and-forth battle attracted all the customers in the restaurant to watch, even newcomers walking on the street squeezed in to observe the two clashing from afar.

Anyone who saw such a scene would surely marvel at its beauty, but the two people at the heart of it paid no attention. What they noticed was only each other’s moves.

Mo Ziqi lifted his leg in a sweep, hooking Cai Wei’s ankle, while at that moment Cai Wei also leaned her arm, locking Mo Ziqi’s arm in position.

"Good!"

Someone in the crowd shouted out, prompting a chorus of agreement.

Although the two were clearly in combat, it made the audience feel as if they were enjoying the most visually pleasing dance. What Cai Wei couldn’t stand more was that people in the crowd even started betting on their win or loss, but most were betting on the man to win, with very few backing her!

No good, she needed to end this battle quickly.

Cai Wei bent her knees and leaned forward, aiming to bump into Mo Ziqi’s knees. Mo Ziqi shifted to the side, avoiding her knee, and using the force from her arm, he sent his elbow towards her armpit.

That was close!

Barely dodging his strike, Cai Wei realized she was no match for him and was about to lose. She gathered her focus, ready to use her spiritual power to give him a deep and unforgettable lesson.

Just then, she suddenly heard his voice delivered through internal skills.

"That hooligan is Empress Dowager Ji’s only nephew; if you harm him, you will bring endless disaster upon your family!"

Cai Wei’s eyes widened in shock. During her stay with Du Meiren, she had heard that Empress Dowager Ji was the birth mother of the current Emperor and had always resided within the Imperial Harem without meddling in worldly affairs. However, there was one thing she had to intervene in, and that was matters relating to her parental home.

Empress Dowager Ji was extremely protective of her family. Any affair related to her family would personally involve her, and she would not stop until she reached her goal. The Emperor was pious and held great respect for his mother, so everything the Empress Dowager said was honored and obeyed without question.

Therefore, the status of the Ji family’s younger generation in the capital city was such that even Princes had to give them three points of respect!

She had hit Young Master Ji, and there must already be people in the restaurant ready to fawn over sb. and seek help. She believed it wouldn’t be long before a large number of Imperial Guard or Imperial forest army would come to arrest them.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Cai Wei focused a bit of her spiritual power and struck towards Mo Zi Qi.

"Sorry, and thank you!"

She whispered audibly only to the two of them, then suddenly leaped backward.

The man received her palm and stumbled back several steps before managing to steady himself, then he clasped his fist and said, "I admit defeat!"

The crowd erupted again, with those who had bet on their win or loss causing a commotion. Those who bet on Mo Ziqi to win were urging him to continue the fight, confident that he could defeat the woman. Meanwhile, those who bet on Cai Wei were shouting about being a true man who honors a bet, bemoaning the sore losers who lost and yet wouldn’t let it go.

Cai Wei didn’t have time for the scene’s bustle; she grabbed Fei’er and quickly squeezed through the crowd.

Not until they were seated in the horse carriage did Cai Wei’s heart finally settle. She patted her chest and said, "Fei’er, today is your birthday; don’t go back to the cloth shop this afternoon. Come home with your older sister instead!"

Fei’er was momentarily dazed and then replied in a detached manner that did not address Cai Wei’s statement, "Older sister, the palm strike you just delivered, you didn’t hurt, hurt that man, did you?"

Cai Wei laughed exaggeratedly, "It hit right on the spot over his heart. Even if it doesn’t kill him, he’ll have to suffer greatly later on."

Fei’er’s face suddenly turned pale. She dropped her head in despondency and absentmindedly fidgeted with her new bracelet, no longer speaking.

Seeing her behave like this, Cai Wei couldn’t help but frown and raised her eyes to look at Huan Qiu. After spending half a day together, she noticed too many abnormalities in Fei’er. What on earth was wrong with this child?
