Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Even with Jiang Wuhen’s retelling of events, Ling Chuxi could not imagine the tragic battle that had taken place. The lives of over ten soldiers were claimed by it which meant there was not a single soldier left with them and of the original Nan Xia troupe, only they currently remained.

“Since you all managed to escape, why didn’t you immediately return to Nan Xia? Why did you make a detour to Chang Qing Town?” Ling Chuxi asked, still unable to comprehend how they ended up there.

“I originally had the intention of doing just that, but Master Jiang pointed out that since Wu Feng Hall dared to attack us as such, it meant that they were confident and were more likely than not to attack you and Mister Mo. Additionally, he felt that there was definitely a dark scheme concerning the trip to Little Silver Ancient Mountain. Therefore, we brought along the remaining ten plus soldiers we had and journeyed to Little Silver Ancient Mountain to search for the both of you to let you know you should be careful,” Zhou Zhidong said.

Ling Chuxi noticed that although Zhou Zhidong was extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Wuhen in general, he had addressed him as Master Jiang. Obviously, this cheat had secured a position that wasn’t too low in Zhou Zhidong’s heart.

“Later on, before we managed to find you guys, we encountered the people of Wu Feng Hall again. After another bitter battle, General Zhou was severely wounded and the remaining soldiers either died or were scattered. In the end, we saw that the matter could not be overturned and could only pass Little Silver Ancient Mountain Range and return to Nan Xia to report these happenings to the emperor,” Li Shaoqiu added on.

“Wait, you mentioned Little Silver Ancient Mountain. How did you know about there being a dark scheme concerning Little Silver Ancient Mountain?” asked Ling Chuxi as she looked at Jiang Wuhen. The secret of Little Silver Ancient Mountain was one that very few people knew about. If it were not for Mo Kongyuan, Ling Chuxi herself would have never even heard of it. How did this cheat know about it? How did he know about so many confidential things? He knew about Rejuvenation Valley and now Little Silver Ancient Mountain. What exactly was this fellow’s identity?

“Don’t forget who I am. I am ‘The World’s Know It All’. There is nothing I don’t know about, nothing I am unaware of!” boasted Jiang Wuhen as he tugged on his cloth banner. Alas, the moment he tugged at his cloth banner, he found that all that was left of it were a few pieces of torn cloth. Jiang Wuhen’s expression was full of sorrow. Sigh, the tool he had used to get his meals which had followed him for so many years was ruined just like that?

Ling Chuxi wouldn’t believe any of Jiang Wuhen’s nonsense if it came from his own mouth, but seeing that he was not willing to say any more, she also did not pursue this line of questioning further. Jiang Wuhen seemed to be not as simple as he appeared on the surface. Ling Chuxi already had her doubts about his identity since long before, but Jiang Wuhen did not seem to be willing to reveal his true identity and Ling Chuxi also did not further investigate deeply into it.

“Then why didn’t you all return to Nan Xia? Why are you all still swaggering and cheating around here for?” Ling Chuxi asked.

“Do you think we don’t want to head back?” Li Shaoqiu said melancholically. “We had just entered Gu Yang City but before we could even eat a good meal, we encountered people from Wu Feng Hall again. General Zhou fought desperately to protect us and managed to get us all out of the city and back to Chang Qing Town. Since his injuries got even more serious, we could only stay back here to treat his injuries before going anywhere else. Big Brother Jiang said that if you were fine, you would definitely come to Chang Qing City sooner or later and that as long as we stayed here, we would be able to meet you. We waited for quite a number of months though we didn’t quite believe it, but I never thought that he was really spot on in his assessment,” Li Shaoqiu’s eyes lit up once again speaking about this.

“Nonsense. Do you even know who I am? I am the Dignified Iron Mouth Divine Tooth Number One Fortune Teller Under The Heavens. If I could not even tell this much, then how can I be…” As Jiang Wuhen spoke, he habitually went over to tug at his cloth banner again. However, when he had stretched out his hand halfway, he recalled that there were only a few pieces remaining of the torn banner, so he retracted his hand and gave an awkward smile.

Seeing his actions, the few of them could not help but laugh out loud. Since they managed to wait for Ling Chuxi’s appearance successfully, their hearts which had been suspended in midair for quite some time had finally landed back safely on the ground. Their feelings also relaxed for now.

“These days, we’re surviving all thanks to Master Jiang and Master Li. Although they did do things that cannot be disclosed, if it were not for them setting up stalls all around town and being thick-skinned to get some silver to buy me medicine and treat my injuries, this life of mine would have since been long gone,” Zhou Zhidong said solemnly. The depths of his eyes were filled with gratitude.
