The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 96 The Scapegoat Appears

Li Yansheng was happily eating, with women on his left and right! Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his back, as if a cold air was rushing towards him!

It's not that Li Yansheng is too sensitive; it's mainly because Gu Lingxi's eyes are too sharp. She just stares straight at him, making him feel a chill run down his spine. Could she be his enemy?

Li Yansheng turned to the side and saw that it was an unfamiliar young man, so he didn't think much of it!

Hey kid, why are you staring at me like that? Looking for a beating?

Gu Lingxi felt a surge of anger rising to the top of her head. This guy, who called himself "this Venerable One," was clearly a womanizer—he was probably the bastard who stole her gold that night! Remembering the unspeakable things he'd done to her! Gu Lingxi wanted nothing more than to tear him apart!

Hmph! In my opinion, you're the one looking for a beating, Li Yansheng from Hundred Flowers Valley, aren't you?

"I am indeed Li Yansheng. How did you know? I don't think I know you. You look so bitter and resentful, as if I've just taken advantage of you, hahaha! I'm only interested in stunningly beautiful women, not bland men like you!"

You're asking for it! How dare you mock me?! Gu Lingxi has reached her limit! She slammed her hand on the table, sending several pairs of chopsticks flying through the air, whistling as they shot towards Li Yansheng across the table!

Li Yansheng hurriedly overturned the table to defend himself! Bowls and plates clattered to the floor, and several women screamed and scrambled to other places to hide! The hall was instantly thrown into chaos!

Drawing her sword, Gu Lingxi made up her mind: even if she couldn't defeat this scoundrel, she would make him pay the price today! She had prepared over a dozen Thunderclap Divine Lightning bolts in her spatial storage! She was waiting to teach the man who stole her five hundred taels of gold a lesson one day!

Seeing him draw his sword, Li Yansheng's eyes narrowed slightly! Was he really going to do this? How had he offended this man? It seemed he'd been holed up in the Lily Palace lately, not doing anything heinous, right? His reputation in the martial arts world wasn't good, but those were just legends, okay? He was a chivalrous man!

After just a few moves, Li Yansheng was already struggling. Was this some kind of life-or-death feud? He was playing so recklessly! Knowing he was outmatched, his specialty was escaping! He feinted a few times and then leaped away! He didn't even bother with the beauty he'd just hooked up with that day!

"Where do you think you're going!" Gu Lingxi was puzzled when she saw this guy run away after a few blows! He was so powerful that night! Why is he acting so cowardly today? Never mind that, I'll just have to catch up with him first!

Chi Hun was dumbfounded. What had happened? In just a short while, the area downstairs had been completely destroyed by Miss Gu! "Master, should I take action?"

Jun Moli pondered for a moment, then said, "No need, that person can't beat her! No rush, you stay here to handle the aftermath, then come along! I'll go take a look!"

Yes! Chi Hun, stay behind and handle things here as ordered!

"Stop right there! If you run again, I won't be polite!" Gu Lingxi was panting heavily; this guy could run too fast!

Li Yansheng, with his messy hair and a face covered in soot, was on the verge of tears. How much more impolite could he possibly be? That dark thing had almost blown him to bits! Had he run any slower, would he still be alive?

Fortunately, his signature skill, lightness skill, is unparalleled! Otherwise, he might be in serious trouble today! I say, young brother, hero, can you please explain yourself clearly? Even if I die, I should die knowing why! What did I, the venerable one, do to offend you?

Hmph! You know perfectly well why you asked that question. That night you stole my five hundred taels of gold and assaulted me. Today is your death day!

Li Yansheng was completely bewildered. Robbing gold? Indecent assault?

It wasn't me! How could I be so tasteless? My family is rich, and besides, I like women! Are you a woman?

How dare you say that? You already touched me, and you still won't admit it! Another thunderbolt struck, with a loud bang!

Unfortunately, she missed again! Gu Lingxi sighed. She's really good at dodging!

Li Yansheng… Ah! Grandma! It wasn’t me! Gold? Oh, you got robbed? It’s alright, I have money! Suddenly, Li Yansheng had a flash of inspiration, pulled out a handful of silver notes from his pocket, and tossed them behind him! Here you go! Grandma, please spare me! This money is worth a thousand taels of gold!

Gu Lingxi… is this going to be resolved with money? She was somewhat moved, looking at the scattered silver notes! Fine, I'll let you off this time! Who can turn down money? Let's pick up the silver notes first!

You're lucky this time, kid! If I see you again, I'll send you to the King of Hell for a cup of tea! Hmph!

Li Yansheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to look back and ran away in a flash!

Jun Moli stood quietly by the carriage, deep in thought. It turned out it was about the gold being stolen that night. She seemed to have mistaken him for someone else. Should he confess to her now? It was him that night! After much hesitation, he decided against telling that wicked girl. Judging from her demeanor just now, it seemed she was ready to risk her life! It was just a few hundred taels of gold! He'd just give her the key to the royal treasury later! That should be enough to make up for it!

Inside the carriage, Jun Moli quietly sipped her tea. As Gu Lingxi entered, panting, Jun Moli reached out and handed her a cup of tea.

Gu Lingxi was both tired and hungry, so she took the drink and drank it all in one gulp!

"Did you have a good time?" Jun Moli tried his best to keep his tone normal; he didn't want this naughty girl to notice anything! Let Li Yansheng take the blame for that!

"Hmm, not bad, let's go!" Gu Lingxi didn't say much more; she didn't want Jun Moli to know about her embarrassing incident! It was too disgraceful! But that person today was too weak! Was he frightened by her Thunder God's Lightning?

Three days later, the group finally arrived at Lin'an City, the prefecture city closest to the capital! Its prosperity was not much different from that of the capital! The streets, which were usually bustling with people, were now filled with anxiety due to an unexplained outbreak in a small county in the jurisdiction. The streets were also sparsely populated due to the light rain.

Jun Moli and Gu Lingxi sat by the window in the teahouse, watching the drizzling rain and the passersby. Gu Lingxi was a little bored. How long was this rain going to stop?

No rush, let's go to the jade mine after the rain stops! The situation there is unclear, I've already sent Chi Hun and the others to scout it out first!

Seeing Gu Lingxi remain silent for a long time, Jun Moli wanted to ask what the girl was thinking, but when he followed her gaze and saw the scene downstairs, his face darkened!

Gu Lingxi glanced over casually and her eyes widened in amazement! A tall, handsome man in white robes and with ink-black hair slowly stepped out of a carriage. His features were obscured by the distance, but his every move exuded a refined and gentle elegance. Especially the moment he opened his oil-paper umbrella, perfectly complementing the light drizzle, Gu Lingxi felt as if the man had stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting from Jiangnan! He was utterly ethereal!
