Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

The guard let out a scream of agony as he was shot and flung backward, collapsing to the ground!

Han shizi hadn't expected that someone inside the house would fire a hidden arrow, and his brows furrowed deeply.

What a fast arrow!

The other guards quickly drew their swords.

Han shizi stopped in his tracks, his face full of displeasure as he looked toward the main room of the house.

Gu Jiao, dressed as a young man and holding a longbow, walked out with an unrestrained demeanor.

Han shizi recognized Gu Jiao immediately, “It’s you?”

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, clearly recognizing Han shizi as well.

Although they didn’t know each other openly, Han shizi had secretly observed Gu Jiao during a game of polo, and Gu Jiao had previously ambushed Han shizi by throwing a sack over his head. So, they were both familiar with each other’s faces.

There was a lot of bad blood between them. The Han Family had mistreated Gu Chengfeng, Han Che had come to seize her horse, and Han shizi had injured one of Gu Jiao's teammates using those Shaolin monks. In return, Gu Jiao had given the two brothers a severe beating.

They were practically sworn enemies.

Both of them narrowed their eyes with coldness.

Han shizi said coldly, "Xiao Liulang, don’t think this young master doesn’t know what you've done!"

Gu Jiao stroked her chin.

Hmm, so he already knows it was her who used the sack on him? Maybe also the fact that Nangong Li was killed by her?

Han shizi could tell from Gu Jiao's expression that she had guessed what he was implying. He expected Gu Jiao to at least show some guilt or fear, but she merely responded with a calm "oh."

Han shizi was stunned.

‘Oh?’

What kind of reaction was that!

"What are you doing at my house?" Gu Jiao asked calmly.

She had always used a juvenile male voice when speaking to outsiders, and after using it for so long, she had perfected it to the point where no one could detect anything amiss.

Han shizi frowned. This kid was so infuriating that he almost forgot the matter at hand.

Han shizi said coldly, "I was wondering who had the audacity to steal from the Han Family. Now that it's you, I’m not surprised. Hand over my horse!"

"Your horse?" Gu Jiao casually slung the longbow over her shoulder, "There’s no horse of yours here."

Han shizi snorted coldly, "Just because you say there isn’t one?"

Gu Jiao replied, "Yes."

Han shizi: "…"

Han shizi: "Do you dare to let me search?"

Gu Jiao: "Why should I let you search? Do you have a search warrant from the authorities?"

Did the Han Family need a search warrant?

Gu Jiao said, "Without a search warrant, you’re not allowed to search."

Han shizi narrowed his eyes dangerously, "You won’t accept the easy way, so you’ll take the hard way. Fine, then today I’ll settle all the old and new grudges with you right here!"

“What’s going on?” Master Lu was awakened by the commotion in the courtyard and came rushing over with a cleaver.

Gu Jiao blocked Master Lu, her gaze cold as she looked at Han shizi, "I'll handle this. Xiaoshun, bring me my spear."

Gu Xiaoshun, who had just rubbed his eyes and walked into the main room: "Oh, alright!"

He quickly ran back to the backyard, and retrieved the red-ta.s.seled spear from beside the Black Wind King. The spear was too heavy—if he hadn't been practicing gripping it every day, he wouldn't have been able to lift it at all.

He quickly handed the red-ta.s.seled spear to Gu Jiao, "Liulang, here!"

The red-ta.s.seled spear, adorned with a long braid and a big red flower, was so garish that Han shizi didn’t immediately recognize it as the legendary weapon once used by Xuanyuan Li.

Such an ugly weapon was indeed glaring to everyone present.

One of the guards laughed derisively, "What on earth is that thing?"

Master Lu pulled Lady Nan behind him protectively, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Lady Nan shook her head.

Han Shizi said calmly, "I don’t need a weapon to deal with you. Go ahead, make your move!"

As he spoke, his internal force dispersed in all directions, pressing down on Gu Jiao in the courtyard as if it had physical form.

Lady Nan’s expression changed, "This is... Tang Sect’s mental technique! This is bad, JiaoJiao is no match for him!"

JiaoJiao had only practiced those spear techniques for a few days and wasn’t proficient...

Gu Jiao thrust her spear at Han shizi.

The spear technique was extremely fast, almost leaving only an afterimage, which explained why it could kill Nangong Li.

However, even so, it was still not enough to be his opponent!

Han shizi’s figure flickered.

Gu Jiao’s eyes moved, and she managed to evade!

"Is that all——"

Before Han shizi could finish his sentence, the attack that had been avoided was merely a feint. The spearhead turned and stabbed towards his waist.

Unable to dodge, he drew a dagger from his waist and forcefully blocked the red-ta.s.seled spear.

But the force of the spear was beyond his expectations. While it didn’t numb his arm, it definitely made the veins in his arm bulge!

"Your spear technique is impressive, but unfortunately, you're not skilled enough yet!"

In truth, Han shizi was surprised. He had tried to learn the Xuanyuan Family's spear techniques himself but couldn't master them. He couldn't control all his internal force and didn’t see much use in a technique without internal force.

Perhaps it was just an exaggerated claim by the public.

The Xuanyuan Family had many martial skills; it might not be this spear technique that defeated their enemies.

But now, he believed the rumors were true.

This spear technique was indeed impressive.

He could only defeat Gu Jiao by relying on his age and martial arts advantage, but if this Xiao Liulang practiced for another three to five years, the outcome might be uncertain!

Therefore, he must kill him now, while he was still not strong enough!

Han shizi grabbed the red-ta.s.seled spear with one hand, drew a long sword from the waist of a nearby guard with the other, and fiercely thrust it toward Gu Jiao's chest!

Lady Nan’s face turned pale, “JiaoJiao——”

Accompanied by a horse’s whinny, a black shadow burst out from inside the house.

Han shizi paused, "Black Wind King?"

Taking advantage of his distraction, Gu Jiao lifted her foot and kicked out. Han shizi quickly raised his sword horizontally, using the sword to block Gu Jiao’s flying kick.

The two were forced back a few steps by the force and separated.

The Black Wind King approached Han shizi.

Han shizi’s eyes lit up, and his mood, gloomy for days, finally improved a little. He patted the Black Wind King’s head with satisfaction, "Finally found you."

With that, he wiped the smile off his face and looked at Gu Jiao with extreme coldness, "Still claiming you didn't steal this young master’s horse!"

Seeing how familiar the Black Wind King seemed with Han Shizi, Gu Jiao had a rough idea of the situation.

Lady Nan sneered, "My Liulang didn’t steal your horse! It was your horse that fell into a swamp. My horse found it and called Liulang to rescue it from the swamp! My horse got injured while rescuing it! Your horse was poisoned and heavily injured; if it weren’t for my Liulang, it would have been lost by now! You’re not grateful but instead accuse Liulang of stealing your horse! Shameless!"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
