The monster tide of Nanhai Mountain and the Cai Family’s bravery were certainly a recent gossip in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Generally, otherworldly monsters and beings are treated as myths in the kingdom. Despite knowing they exist, most ordinary people in safer areas never see any of them. They are as rare as an Innate realm Martial Artist.

Hence, when the rumor travels, it becomes exaggerated.

Not to mention, all the old military families are currently going into decline. The kingdom is being ruled by nobles and officials, while military families are surrendering their strength to the Imperial Family in exchange for wealth and title.

With the Imperial Family centralizing power, a great storm in internal politics is brewing within the kingdom.

However, with the Cai Family currently coming to the limelight once again, they attracted the attention of various figures across the kingdom.

Cai Yixue heard the loudmouth talking shit about the Cai Family. Despite being angry, she didn’t react immediately. Thinking it might be a trap, Cai Yixue turned to leave the place.

However, as she was about to walk off, she avoided the rambling young master.

Alas, whether it was intentional or a coincidence, the incoming group seemed to collide with Cai Yixue. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Cai Yixue tried to avoid it, but the wine cup splashed on Cai Yixue’s clothes.

" Damn it! Did you come here after keeping your eyes in home?!" Cai Yixue was annoyed as she cursed out. Her beautiful dress is now ruined.

" Eugh! Who the hell is this?"

The young man cursed as he looked at Cai Yixue. Suddenly, his eyes seemed to gleam when he saw Cai Yixue.

Her beauty seemed to make the young man stun for a moment; his drunken stupor sobered slightly before making him even more brazen.

" Hehe, Young Lady, how can you curse me, when it was you who collided against me?" The young man grinned. " But it’s alright, this young master is magnanimous."

Cai Yixue felt irritated as she turned to walk away. However, the young man tried to grab her arm.

" Where are you going, beauti-"

*SLAAP!!*

Cai Yixue’s body moved gracefully as she avoided the grasp of the young master. Her palm swung as she gave a crisp slap on his face.

Like a ricebag flung too far, the young man swept back, crashing on the ground. His face bloomed with a burning red plam imprint.

" ARRGHHH!"

The single scene paused every other activity in the courtyard. Everyone was stunned, looking at the scene with great interest.

" YO-YOU!!!"

The young man was stunned before erupting into rage.

" CAPTURE THAT BITCH FOR ME!"

Suddenly, fa ew guards appeared before him, pointing their swords at Cai Yixue.

Cai Yixue snorted as she grabbed her sword hilt. " Hmph, I dare you to make a move."

However, inwardly, Cai Yixue felt slightly strange. ’ I did try to hide my strength when I slapped him, though? My inner qi feels more active. How strange.’

The guards hesitated for a moment before walking towards Cai Yixue. However, Cai Yixue didn’t stay as she drew out her sword.

*SHIINGG! SHIINGG!*

Steel flashed as Cai Yixue managed to swing with extreme precision. With a single move, she flung the swords from the hands of the guards.

Seeing Cai Yixue’s prowess, the guards were stunned as they took a step back.

" Useless bastards!" The young man finally got up. The slap was enough to zing some sense back in his head. " You can’t even capture a single bitch!"

" Young Master Wu, please stop." The person beside the young man tugged his sleeves.

" That woman, she is the eldest lady of the Cai Family."

" Cai Family?"

The young man was stunned for a moment. However, he still decided to act arrogantly.

" Hmph! So what? I am also Governor Wu’s Son, Wu Xiao. How dare she disrespect me?!"

Wu Xiao snorted as he looked at Cai Yixue. " However, if she apologizes to me, I will accept it."

" Why should I apologize to you?" Cai Yixue snorted as she pointed her sword at Wu Xiao.

" First, you slander the Cai Family. Second, you ruined my dress. Third, you try to touch me?" Cai Yixue spoke in a cold voice.

" Yo-you!"

Wu Xiao was enraged when Cai Yixue pointed her sword at him. Before he could say anything. Du Caicheng appeared.

" Fellow brothers and sisters, what is the ruckus here?"

A servant hurried and whispered something to Du Caicheng. Du Caicheng’s expression turned slightly stiff as he forced a smile.

" Lady Cai, Young Master Wu, please, don’t escalate the matter." Du Caicheng rubbed his palms. " Lady Cai how about you..."

" Exactly!" Wu Xiao interjected Du Caicheng’s words. " I already told you. If Miss Cai apologizes to me, I can let go of the matter."

" Else, I will take it as disrespect to me and my father’s authority!"

" You think our Cai Family fears Governor Wu?" Cai Yixue snorted.

" Miss Cai, Young Master Wu, if you wish to sort out any argument, why not take the path of jianghu?" Du Caicheng proposed. " The ground is set up. Why not both of you have a friendly duel?"

" Duel?"

Cai Yixue frowned when she heard that. Technically, her strength is at the High stage of Profound Awakening Realm. She can defeat Wu Xiao without much effort.

However, getting up and fighting him in a duel, Cai Yixue found there might be some fishy plan there.

But the thing is, if she doesn’t go up, it will deal damage to the Cai Family’s name.

’ Tch, really a devious plan.’ Cai Yixue snorted inwardly.

" I am not feeling well tonight. Not to mention, my dress is ruined." Cai Yixue spoke coldly. " I don’t think I have the willingness to stay here."

" Miss Cai..."

Du Caicheng wanted to stop Cai Yixue, but Cai Yixue turned to leave.

" Hmph, who said you can leave?" Emboldened by Cai Yixue’s lack of pursuance, Wu Xiao became bolder.

" Without apologizing, you can’t leave."

Cai Yixue didn’t answer as she kept walking towards the exit. With Wu Xiao’s gesture, the guards rushed to stop Cai Yixue.

" Insolence."

Cai Yixue didn’t even blink as she saw guards appearing before her to stop her.

Instantly, her sword moved like swift lightning, turning into a blink of silver lightning.

Blood splashed as the arms of the guards fell on the ground. Even the head of the guards, who was in Profound Awakening Realm, screamed as he saw the sword along with his hand, falling on the ground.

" Wu Xiao, I will remember this."

With men twitching on the ground, Cai Yixue didn’t bother to look at them. She walked out without wasting a single breath.

From afar, Li Yuan saw everything, with a faint smile on his face.

" Ah, fiery as always, my Yixue. Just wait for tomorrow. You will be finally mine."
