"Yes."

The carriage driver got up from the ground, walked over to Celestial Master Zhang, and helped him onto the carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the War Prince’s Mansion.

Long Rui and Xuexue were about to enter the mansion with the Weirdo when suddenly they heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats behind them. They stopped and turned around to see a luxurious carriage slowly coming to a stop at the entrance.

Xuexue glanced at the insignia outside the carriage and said, "Prince, this carriage seems to belong to Celestial Master Zhang."

Long Rui: "It is indeed the Heavenly Master’s. I wonder why he’s here?"

The Weirdo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up and leapt onto the carriage roof with a swish.

Celestial Master Zhang had just stepped out of the carriage when suddenly a head popped down from the roof, startling him.

"You... you... who are you?"

Because the Weirdo’s face was too close, Celestial Master Zhang couldn’t see clearly at first.

"Hey! You ugly freak, the Master hasn’t even shouted, what are you shouting for?" Celestial Master Zhang, with a swollen face and muddled features, looked too bruised to be recognized, causing the Weirdo to back away in disgust and jump down from the carriage roof again, landing back on the ground.

Celestial Master Zhang finally saw the Weirdo clearly and was taken aback, exclaiming, "You... you... how are you here?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The Weirdo gave him a strange look: "Hey, ugly freak, do you know me?"

Hearing this, Celestial Master Zhang was momentarily stunned, reaching out to touch his cheek, and winced in pain as he came to the realization. He had been trampled on by those Unruly People earlier, and his face had swollen, which explained why the Weirdo couldn’t recognize him. He couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved, thinking it was good that the Weirdo didn’t recognize him, or else he might be taken back to the forest to continue serving as a servant, which would be terrible.

Celestial Master Zhang quickly shook his head: "I don’t know you."

The Weirdo nodded in agreement: "That’s right, if I’d ever seen an old man as ugly as you, there’s no way I would forget."

In the end, he also added fiercely: "A while ago, in the forest, I saw an even more disgusting old man, much uglier than you. The reason I’m here in the Capital today is to find him. That damn old man killed my Xiao Hei. I’m definitely going to find him, twist his head off, and use it as a stool."

As he spoke, the Weirdo’s expression turned sinister.

Celestial Master Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that the Weirdo had come to the Capital to seek him out. No, he couldn’t let the Weirdo find out he was the one the Weirdo was looking for.

Wait a minute, the Weirdo said he killed Xiao Hei. When did he kill Xiao Hei? Celestial Master Zhang was bewildered but didn’t dare to ask the Weirdo.

Xuexue and Long Rui were shocked to see Celestial Master Zhang in such a sorry state: "Celestial Master Zhang, what happened to you?"

Celestial Master Zhang, with disheveled hair and a face full of injuries, looked as if he’d just been robbed. Everyone present was stunned.

Celestial Master Zhang held a high status in the Capital. Who would dare to beat him up in broad daylight?

Xuexue felt a great admiration for the person who dared to do what she wouldn’t dare to.

Celestial Master Zhang, clutching his cheek with a painful expression, spoke hoarsely: "Don’t ask. Today isn’t my lucky day. Just as I was about to reach the War Prince’s Mansion, a mob of Unruly People suddenly appeared out of nowhere, knocking me down and trampling me like garbage. It’s a miracle I’m still alive, thanks to Heaven."

Recalling the incident, Celestial Master Zhang felt a lingering fear.

Those Unruly People were too terrifying, rushing at him like maniacs, unable to hear his shouts. It was horrifying, truly horrifying.

Unruly People?

Long Rui and Xuexue exchanged glances, almost bursting into laughter. Earlier the Weirdo had startled the townspeople, causing them to flee. Who would’ve thought that in their panic, they’d end up injuring Celestial Master Zhang?

This whole affair, when all’s said and done, was just Celestial Master Zhang’s bad luck. Of all the times to come over, he chose this one. Wasn’t he just asking to be trampled?
