In the evening, the army set up camp in the mountain ranges.
Xu Ziling raised her brows and said, “Come in here,” with an evil look on her face to Zuiying.
Xiao Yun glanced at the vicious look her young lady gave the shadow guard and also scowled ferociously at Zuiying. She also despised whoever her young lady despised.
Zuiying silently twitched his lips. It’s true when they say a maid is a reflection of their master. He followed Xu Ziling into the tent.
Xu Ziling had a vicious look on her face when she suddenly raised her hand and swung it at Zuiying’s face.
Zuiying’s face turned cold, then raised his hand in flash and grabbed Xu Ziling’s wrist. “I suggest that you be a little more polite with me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Xu Ziling tried to pull her delicate hand free several times with all her might, but never succeeded. “You lowly shadow guard dare to use force on me? Is there no law? Hurry up and let me go!” She couldn’t help but shout in anger.
Xiao Yun immediately grabbed Zuiying’s arm and pulled hard. “Hurry up and let go of my young lady! A mere shadow guard like you dare use force against their own master? You must be bored of living!” She cried.
“My master is His Majesty the Emperor, not this unreasonable, obnoxious young lady!” said Zuiying with a cold smile.
Xu Ziling looked up at Zuiying with angry, furrowed brows. “Let go! I won’t hit you anymore!”
With just one shove, Zuiying swung Xu Ziling to the ground and she crashed with a bang!
Then, he strode out of the tent. If he hadn’t taught that obnoxious young lady a lesson, she would try to hit him again in the future! It was better to strike first!
Xu Ziling massaged her wrist with her other hand. She looked incredibly displeased and her beautiful eyes burned with rage. “Zuiying, just you wait. I definitely won’t let you off easily.”
Xiao Yun stood dumbfounded and in disbelief. Was that really a shadow guard? Not some kind of aristocrat or minister?
Xiao Yun’s eyes quivered and she thought about it for a moment. “Young lady, you could ask the Emperor for justice!” She said.
“Can I? His Majesty never liked to bother with me! He definitely wouldn’t help me get justice,” said Xu Ziling as she rubbed her chin and furrowed her brows.
Xiao Yun creased her eyebrows and thought about it for a moment, then replied, “Then, how about ordering men to grab Zuiying and give him a real beating?”
Xu Ziling had a dejected look on her face. “B-but… I only brought two shadow guards with me. If they’re beaten, then how can they protect me?”
Xu Ziling and Xiao Yun never stopped trying to think of ways to teach Zuiying a lesson.
Meanwhile, Zuiying was resting on top of a tree, lying on his side on a branch. He looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. “I really want to go back to his majesty’s side! That obnoxious Young Lady gives me a headache just by looking at her!”
In the middle of the night, the moonlight shone brightly upon the camp at the foot of the mountain.
Han Moze was training hard as usual, when all of sudden, a gust of wind blew loudly into the tent.
Han Moze’s sharp eyes suddenly shot wide open. Then, he heard a threatening voice. “Follow me quickly, or I shall kill everyone here.”
Han Moze squinted his cold eyes and clearly saw a dark figure through the curtains, standing just outside.
Han Moze contemplated for a moment, then let out a soft grunt. Then, he flew up and went after the black figure.
Dozens of shadow guards appeared from the shadows and chased him.
After Le Zhengyu saw this, he immediately rushed into Lian Jiuhua’s tent and used his head to nudge Lian Jiuhua’s covers.
Lian Jiuhua sat upright and yawned. “Le Zhengyu, I don’t have time to admire the moon with you! If you’re really bored, then go and eat grass,” he said in dissatisfaction.
