In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Most of the people on the list have been eliminated.
In fact, there aren’t many trio with high martial arts skills.
Most experts prefer to go their own way and enjoy the invincible solitude.
“Princess, would you like some chestnuts?”
“It’s just fried, they’re delicious.”
On the street, a young man in white clothing, with a gentle smile, slowly handed a paper bag filled with chestnuts to the charming and beautiful young girl.
“Thank you, they really smell wonderful!” The girl courteously took a sniff and shook her head regretfully, saying, “Unfortunately, I’ve been having internal heat recently, so I can’t eat something fried and hot like this. Otherwise, it might make my throat sore.”
Although the young man didn’t quite understand what ‘internal heat’ meant, he understood her concern about a sore throat. So, silently, he withdrew the hand that had reached out to her.
At the same time, he felt a deep sense of defeat.
Over the past month, he had tried every means to meet her and had attempted to give her gifts in various ways. However, she always managed to come up with reasonable excuses to decline.
The chestnuts in his hand instantly lost their fragrance, and Xu Rui was thinking of finding a trash bin to throw them away when he suddenly noticed the girl beside him running away like a gust of wind.
After glancing in the direction where she was running, Xu Rui couldn’t care less about being coy anymore. He quickly grabbed something and ran after her.
There were two people fighting on the street ahead!
One of the figures was someone they were familiar with.
The battle between the two was intense!
It was evident that the man in the blue robe, who currently had the upper hand, was ruthless. He tightly gripped a long sword in his hand, putting all his strength into each swing, aiming to bring his opponent to their demise.
Unfortunately, that “opponent” happened to be Xu Rui’s fourth brother-in-law, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, Lu Xingjiang, the elder brother of Lu Lili.
That’s why Lu Lili immediately ran over upon seeing the situation.
Why did her brother have a fight with Wen Qijin?!
Yes, the man in the blue robe who was attacking Lu Xingjiang was indeed Wen Qijin.
The vegetable stalls on both sides had already been overturned by the two of them, with crushed vegetable leaves scattered all over the ground.
To avoid innocent people getting hurt, the stall owners had distanced themselves and were now watching from the side, waiting for the outcome of the fight so they could demand compensation from the losing party.
If the losing side ended up dead, the stall owners would consider themselves unlucky, as they wouldn’t dare to ask for compensation from someone who had killed another person. They feared that even a slight displeasure could result in them being killed too.
There were many onlookers, including the harem group of Lu Xingjiang and the two good brothers of Wen Qijin.
After more than four months of separation, Lu Lili finally saw Pei Yijian again in the crowd.
He was still dressed in black robes, with a fair complexion like jade. His tall and upright figure stood out in the crowd.
At the moment, he was vigorously waving the folding fan in his hand, his gaze fixed on the intense fight between the two people, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his handsome face.
He didn’t notice that Lu Lili was standing not far from him, and Lu Lili didn’t have time to greet him either.
She turned and asked Jin Qi who was the closest.
“Qiqi, why are they fighting?”
Jin Qi, who had been aloof for many years, was now accustomed to Lu Lili calling her by name and using repeated characters.
She replied calmly, “That young man in the blue robe saw the girl he liked in your brother’s embrace and impulsively wanted to kill your brother.”
“Uh…” Lu Lili didn’t know how to react for a moment.
After all, she didn’t know the whole story.
Was it because Lu Xingjiang became a third party, or was it out of jealousy from Wen Qijin?
“Who is the girl that young master… likes…?”
Facing Jin Qi, Lu Lili’s eyes hinted frantically.
There were so many women around Lu Xingjiang, she really couldn’t figure out who Wen Qijin likes.
A usual coldness appeared on Jin Qi’s stunning face as she said, “Murong Ting.”
