Chapter 184 You come and I go
Without status and power, there's even less chance of competing with my brother!
Thinking of this, she let out a silly laugh; Qi Zexuan still felt a trace of grief.
But seeing her laughing, he felt a surge of anger. He wasn't even a prisoner yet, and she was making fun of him like this?
"Why are you laughing!"
"I laughed. Now that you can't compete with my brother, I feel much more at ease."
Qi Zexuan was stunned. He and his brother had never had anything to fight over, right?
There's no common conflict of interest, so what's there to argue about?
"Why are you arguing with your...brother?"
Chu Yu smiled coldly, her eyes filled with a clear and intelligent look, as if she had seen through everything.
She stood up and circled around Qi Zexuan: "I admit you're good-looking and skilled in martial arts."
"But you have no power or influence now, and no political connections, so it's impossible for you to marry the Fourth Prince!"
Qi Zexuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
It's unclear what Chu Yu is thinking.
Why would they pair him with Wu Ziyan?
That good-for-nothing doesn't deserve him. He's so short, so manly, and has no brains.
He's a complete good-for-nothing, and he doesn't even know a few basic self-defense moves.
He was not favored by Empress Wu, so what good could he do by being with her?
"Don't insult me!"
"Did I say something wrong? You weren't trying to seduce the Fourth Prince?"
"I want to kill her, is that okay?!"
Upon hearing the word "kill," Chu Yu immediately adopted a serious expression.
That's her future fourth sister, and he's spreading rumors and making unwarranted criticisms!
A kick landed on his shin, and Qi Zexuan winced in pain.
He's so handsome, if any woman outside saw him, she'd be completely infatuated with him.
But the person before him lacked a spark of emotion, treating him only as…
Why did you attack me again?
"I didn't use my hands, I used my feet! Who told you to speak ill of the Fourth Prince? Although she does look rather ordinary."
Qi Zexuan: ...
"In short, don't speak ill of her, don't have any romantic thoughts about her, and don't be too heartbroken."
"I'll send you back to your sister's place tomorrow night, after all, you're siblings."
"After something like this happened, the two of you should discuss it, or at least make some kind of decision."
"I'm afraid my sister wants to kill me, just as I want to kill her."
"Hey, you're all family."
"What royal family is like family? Look at you, Fourth Prince and Second Prince, aren't you family too?" he said self-deprecatingly.
"That's still somewhat different from you; after all, you are compatriots."
Qi Zexuan was also thinking that he and his sister Qi Zeyun didn't necessarily have to fight to the death the moment they met.
This revelation of their mother's inner thoughts might actually help them form a united front.
Chu saw him sitting there, quietly lost in thought, so she ignored him and went about her own business.
The daily training hasn't even started yet because of the travel. He practices with his gun for half an hour first, then his sword for a while, before it's lunchtime.
Qi Zexuan propped his head up with his hand and glanced at her as she played with a gun in the garden.
Every thrust, every flick, every sweep carried a powerful force, the wind even blowing onto his face.
His hair drifted lazily in the wind, and he looked so relaxed, as if he were watching a performance.
I took a sip of tea and felt that the tea seemed to have a hint of sweetness.
Chu Yu was a little tired, so he came over, took the teacup that had been offered to him, and drank it all in one gulp.
She's used to being alone, so how could she possibly get a second teacup to drink water?
Qi Zexuan had never paid such close attention to a person before.
In the past, I would just rush over to his bed without caring about his looks or his physique.
As long as the goal is achieved, selling one's body is nothing.
But now, Chu Yu stood in that light, and she seemed so dazzling that he almost dared not look at her.
It turns out that time slows down when you stop moving. He was mesmerized by Chu Yu's spear-wielding skills.
He stood up and slowly walked towards Chu Yu.
Chu Yu has now entered a state of perfect harmony with his weapon, completely oblivious to the people around him.
When the gun was withdrawn and then fired again, the tip almost grazed Qi Zexuan's throat.
She barely managed to pull back, her eyes filled with barely suppressed anger: "You're not trying to deliberately run into my gun, are you?"
"When the time comes, go and complain to the princes. You should stand to the side, for example, cut their shoulder or arm. Cutting their neck can be fatal."
"General Chu Yu, you wield the spear well. There are two swords over there. May I join you in a sword dance?"
"You little brat, you're not trying to steal my skills, are you? These are sword techniques used to kill enemies on the battlefield, not some fancy tricks!"
“I can also kill the enemy, just like your brother.”
Hearing him say that, she, who was not interested at first, became interested again.
How dare he compare himself to her younger brother? She'd better see just how capable Qi Zexuan really is.
She took out her key, unlocked his shackles, and threw him a sword. She wasn't afraid!
Seeing his hand being released and a sharpened sword appear in his hand, Chu Yu was truly terrifyingly confident.
He didn't actually know if he was strong enough to defeat Chu Yu.
That's true even at his peak, but this worn-out body probably can't keep up now.
"Come!"
He uttered only one word before Chu Yu raised her sword and thrust it straight at him, her eyes devoid of any tenderness.
It was like a battle of wits between two generals on a battlefield.
Qi Zexuan knew that if he didn't block it, the sword would really pierce his chest.
With a clang, the stone struck, and he took a step back after receiving the sword strike.
This woman's weapon is like a raging bull; she pushes her shoulders down.
He used his entire body and arms to deflect all the force of the sword strike to one side.
Chu Yu flicked her sword upwards again, tearing his clothes.
He took several more blows, but his strength gave out, and he stuck his sword into the ground.
The belt around his waist was loose from dodging and fighting, as if it might fall off at any moment.
The flower-covered clothes revealed the outline of what lay beneath, while Chu Yu smiled smugly.
"You have the nerve to say that? How can you compare to my brother?"
Qi Zexuan silently cursed Chu Yu for being so clueless about romance.
He's a blockhead, but it's precisely this kind of person who makes his heart flutter.
He approached step by step, finding the hair hanging down on both sides in the way, and simply used a hairpin to tie it behind his head.
Only a few strands of hair remained on her forehead, which looked quite charming when the wind blew.
"What are you doing? Are you angry because you lost? Don't forget, you're still in my hands. Watch out, I might..."
"You wouldn't dare take my life, after all, I still have the title of prince of the Little Rong Kingdom!"
