Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 20 Silver Needles and Masks

The wheels rolled, heading towards the Yunlai Inn. In his previous life, Crown Prince Chu Yuncang died at the Yunlai Inn during the Cold Food Festival. With the Cold Food Festival approaching in a few days, Xie Qingli wanted to try her luck. However, at the moment, Xie Qingli had no time to think about these things; she had a headache.

Just as the manager of the pawnshop said, Han Jue is a wild horse and difficult to tame, but warriors admire the strong, so Xie Qingli plans to find an opportunity to spar with Han Jue and beat him until he submits.

But since Han Jue noticed Chunya, he seemed to have found the source of happiness. From time to time, he would suddenly reveal a ferocious expression, which scared Chunya to tremble. When Chunya's emotions finally calmed down, he would make a face to scare Chunya again, and this cycle would repeat over and over again, as if a bad big cat was constantly teasing a timid mouse.

Xie Qingli rubbed her temples. She didn't want to pay attention. After all, she couldn't stay by their side all the time to mediate. But Chunya's tearful look was really pitiful, and Han Jue's unbridled look really deserved a beating. She warned him sternly: "Han Jue, stop scaring people, or I'll make you live a life worse than death!"

Han Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. This young man was young, yet he spoke with such a high tone. He sneered inwardly. There might be someone who could make him suffer a fate worse than death, but it certainly wouldn't be this brat before him. He said frivolously, "Sorry, I didn't realize this young man was afraid of me!"

He turned to look at Chunya again: "I'm really sorry, little brother, but from now on you and I are both servants of the master and we will see each other every day. How can you be afraid of me? Come here and sit next to me. You won't be afraid of me after seeing my face many times." He reached out to pull Chunya, staring at Xie Qingli provocatively.

Chunya was so frightened that her whole body stiffened. She grabbed Xie Qingli's arm tightly and buried her head in Xie Qingli's shoulder.

Xie Qingli's eyes turned cold, and he flipped his fingers. With a flash of silver light, a silver needle pierced Han Jue's outstretched hand. Han Jue felt a pain in his wrist as if it was broken, and his entire arm could no longer move.

Xie Qingli said coldly, "This is the fate of those who disobey. If you dare to challenge my patience again, I won't mind sending you to see the King of Hell right away."

Han Jue's face changed slightly. This was the first time in his life that he had been threatened like this, and he was still a young boy. Humph, a body contract couldn't bind him. It would be better to kill these people. The world is big, and he can find other interesting things to do.

Thinking of this, Han Jue immediately reached out his other hand, ready to remove the silver needle from his wrist, but in a flash, Xie Qingli launched another needle, and Han Jue's arms were completely immobilized. He had rarely been so controlled by others in his life, and his anger soared, and he stretched out his legs to attack Xie Qingli.

Xie Qingli sneered and flicked the silver needles on her hand. "Why, don't you want your legs anymore? This young master can certainly satisfy you." She gestured at Han Jue's legs. "One needle in each leg at this position, and you'll be paralyzed. I heard that lying in bed for more than a month will cause muscle atrophy, bedsores, inability to urinate and defecate, and a terrible stench. Tsk tsk, then this young master will have no choice but to turn you into a human pig for your viewing pleasure."

Han Jue's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. This man was indeed a madman! He glared at Xie Qingli, but silently analyzed in his heart that this madman's acupuncture was fast, fierce, and accurate. He must be a martial artist. However, since his arms could not move, relying only on his leg skills really had no chance of winning.

A true man should be able to bend and stretch! Han Jue silently withdrew his legs, intending to temporarily suspend the fight, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his legs. He looked down and found that there were silver needles inserted in the places Xie Qingli had pointed. His eyes widened in shock, as if accusing Xie Qingli of lacking martial ethics.

Seeing Han Jue's frustrated look, Xie Qingli waved his folding fan and smiled smugly: "You just glared at me, which is disrespectful. Disrespecting your master deserves punishment. This is my punishment for you. I hope you will reflect deeply on yourself. I believe you are teachable and will not do it again next time."

Han Jue's lungs were about to explode with rage, but his limbs ached terribly, and he couldn't move, as if he had truly turned into a human pig. His face sank as he looked at Xie Qingli, who shook the silver needles in his hand and warned with a smile, "Don't disrespect me again! I still have needles, lots and lots of them, as many as you can get."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Han Jue turned his head away angrily. The carriage fell into silence, with only the sound of horse hooves.

Xie Qingli was in a good mood and looked at Han Jue with a smile. Seeing that his expression had not changed, but beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, he sighed inwardly that he was indeed the material to be a secret guard, as he had such great endurance.

Chunya clearly felt the undercurrent between the two of them. The oppressive silence in the car made her feel a little breathless. She quietly pulled Xie Qingli's sleeve.

Xie Qingli patted Chunya's back lightly and asked Han Jue nonchalantly, "Age?" He was still playing with the two silver needles in his hand.

Han Jue glanced at the silver needle in Xie Qingli's hand and answered through gritted teeth, "Seventeen." But when he opened his mouth, he almost lost the energy that supported him and almost groaned in pain.

Xie Qingli raised the corner of his lips. This was a bit amusing, so he asked, "Where are you from?"

Han Jue didn't answer any more. Compared to the shame of screaming in pain, he would rather be stabbed twice more. In fact, Xie Qingli didn't care where Han Jue was from. In her eyes, there were only the living and the dead. If you obey, you live, if you don't, you die.

Xie Qingli saw Han Jue's body trembling slightly and knew that he had reached the limit of his patience. She pointed at Chunya and said solemnly, "From today on, she is also someone you need to protect. Protect her as you would protect me. Do not be rude to her again. Today is a punishment and a warning. You must remember the taste of the silver needle and do not test my bottom line again."

Han Jue nodded reluctantly, feeling a little depressed. He had completely lost this round.

Xie Qingli quickly retracted the silver needle, and Han Jue felt the pain disappear instantly, but his limbs felt a little swollen.

Han Jue rubbed his sore arm, his face looking normal, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

As a young martial artist, he suffered a severe injury to his left wrist. Although it healed and no longer affected his martial arts, it caused a persistent pain. The pain, while not life-threatening, was agonizing. He sought treatment from renowned doctors, but none could cure it. Now, the pain had completely vanished! His once stiff limbs seemed to have become lighter and stronger.

Han Jue looked up at Xie Qingli, only to see her expression was indifferent. Did she stumble upon her by accident, or did she do it on purpose? Who was she? Han Jue suddenly became extremely curious about Xie Qingli.

……

Yunlai Inn.

Chunya rushed into the room with a bag on her back. She placed the things she bought on the table one by one. Her big eyes flashed with eagerness and pride as she looked at Xie Qingli intently.

Xie Qingli pinched Chunya's little face and chuckled, "My Chunya was able to go out without getting lost on her first visit to the capital city, and she was able to do her job quickly and efficiently. She's really capable!"

Han Jue looked at the two men in front of him in shock. They were acting frivolously and behaving intimately. A feeling of disgust came over him and goosebumps covered his body.

Xie Qingli picked up a mask from the table and handed it to Han Jue, ordering: "Put it on."

Han Jue touched his scarred face and taunted, "Sir, aren't you afraid of my face?"

Xie Qingli sneered: "Not being afraid doesn't mean I like it. This young master likes looking at beautiful women. I can eat two more bowls of rice in front of beautiful women, but I can't swallow the food in front of ugly women."

Han Jue was furious and reached out to take the mask. However, when he saw the cute little cat vividly depicted on the mask, he quickly returned the mask to Xie Qingli and said coldly, "I won't wear it."

Xie Qingli raised his eyebrows slightly and asked knowingly, "Why don't you wear it?"

"This one won't work, let's change it." Han Jue was a little depressed.

Xie Qingli pointed to the table: "There are more there, you can choose for yourself."

Han Jue went forward to look at the other two masks on the table, a fox and a rabbit. Their naive smiles seemed to mock him mercilessly. He concluded that this was Chunya's revenge and shouted at Chunya, "You did it on purpose. Why didn't you buy a men's mask?"

Chunya still didn't dare to look directly at Han Jue. She turned her head to the window and replied in a low voice: "There are no men's styles."

She said this, but her heart was filled with joy. When she saw these lovely masks, she immediately thought of Han Jue's face. Who would be afraid of him with such a mask covering his face? She was determined to pick the cutest one, but after choosing and choosing, they were all so cute that she picked one for the young lady and one for herself.

Xie Qingli looked at Chunya's profile and saw that her cheeks were red, so he knew that she did it on purpose. The little girl learned how to take revenge, not bad.

Xie Qingli advised seriously, "Since there are no men's styles, let's just make do with this for now! You pick first, and we'll wear the rest."

The young master also wanted to wear it and gave him the right to choose. Han Jue felt a lot more comfortable. He didn't know that he had fallen into Xie Qingli's trap. It was like someone asked him to eat shit and gave him the right to choose between pig shit and dog shit. He shouldn't be happy about having this right to choose, and he shouldn't agree to eat it.

Han Jue's eyes wandered among the three masks, and finally he chose the fox mask. Although he still felt a little disgusted, he put the mask on his face obediently. The arrogant and cold man instantly transformed into a soft and cute little fox.

Xie Qingli and Chunya looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable smiles...
