C13 Accidental Injury

Thinking of everything that had happened, Gu Xiaoxiao did not dare to hesitate. After all, her life was in someone else's hands. Only martial arts could protect her the best.

She lightly sighed and carefully got up from the bed, afraid that she would disturb the beautiful dreams of Mrs Zhao and Little Lian.

The courtyard only had one room, so the three of them were currently living together. Although the conditions were a bit difficult, Little Lian didn't mind. Mrs Zhao also had an appearance of having peace in the end.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked into the yard and started cultivating. Just as she started to recall the martial arts from her previous life, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her from the darkness. She was a little scared, but she kept telling herself again and again that there was no such thing as' god 'or' god 'in the world.

"Who, come out!" Although Gu Xiaoxiao was only a weak girl now, her aura was not the least bit weaker.

Suddenly, a shadow jumped down from the wall. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have time to examine him carefully before he made his move.

Gu Xiaoxiao had thought that her kung fu was good enough even in this era, but the person in front of her was quick, ruthless, and accurate. After a few moves, Gu Xiaoxiao was almost out of strength.

Who exactly was it that would appear in the manor in the middle of the night?

Judging from this person's posture, it seemed as if he hadn't used his full strength and didn't intend to fight to the death. Instead, he seemed to be testing out just how strong she was.

Just as Gu Xiaoxiao was about to collapse, that person finally stopped. Gu Xiaoxiao looked carefully. Wasn't this the idle prince who had left her at the palace gates?

"Isn't this King Yi? Why would he come to the manor?"

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that the person in front of him was a powerful individual and that this was a critical moment. If Mu Zhaoyang were to go against him, his chances of winning would decrease.

Hmm, it's better not to offend him.

Mu Zhaoyang ignored her and walked around the yard as if it was his backyard.

"Does the marquis want his daughter to live in such a dilapidated place?"

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered. "I don't think of myself as his daughter. It's better if I'm his enemy."

However, it was strange. Did this person come in the middle of the night just to see the house of the Marquis? He really is an idle prince.

Mu Zhaoyang sized up Gu Xiaoxiao from head to toe. He didn't think that she was a kung fu practitioner. However, that exchange just now had made her quite powerful.

"Your martial arts are not bad, where are your teachers coming from?"

Facing this question, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty. No one in the house knew that she knew martial arts, but she couldn't hide it. Sooner or later, she would think of an excuse.

"I went to my mother's house to stay for a while when I met an otherworldly expert. He taught me martial arts and even gifted me some books on martial arts."

Mu Zhaoyang smiled playfully. He did not believe what Gu Xiaoxiao had said.

It was impossible to reach such heights with just the guidance of an otherworldly expert.

Gu Xiaoxiao could also see that the idle prince in front of her didn't believe her words at all. "What, is it difficult for King Yi?"

Mu Zhaoyang did not say anything and only nodded his head. He did not believe that anyone in this world could have such a strong comprehension ability.

Gu Xiaoxiao pretended to be bitter and laughed self-deprecatingly. "That's because King Yi has been doted on by a myriad of people since birth, right? But I'm different. I've been bullied since I was young. If it wasn't for that otherworldly expert, perhaps I would have already lost my life, and wouldn't be able to survive until now. "

Seeing how she acted, Mu Zhaoyang actually believed her. It seemed that she was a pitiful person.

"Forget it, This King is just asking casually. I don't have any intention of peeling your scar off." However, looking at your appearance, you aren't a little white rabbit that can be easily bullied. "

Thinking of the scene he saw on the city wall yesterday, Mu Zhaoyang still felt a little shaken. If it were any other timid woman, perhaps the Qi King would have scolded her and she would not have dared to continue.

As for her, she was not afraid at all. In front of the empress, she acted as if it was natural, as if she was the one who had been wronged.

For some reason, Mu Zhaoyang suddenly wanted to test Gu Xiaoxiao's ability to react. Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to be absent-minded, Mu Zhaoyang did not act courteously and directly attacked.

Although Gu Xiaoxiao's physical fitness was not as good as in her previous life, her reflexes were still excellent. Seeing Mu Zhaoyang's sudden move, she subconsciously threw out a hidden weapon.

That concealed weapon had always been sharp. That one strike was already enough to make Mu Zhaoyang feel good. To his surprise, he still felt that he was someone who had seen the world before. It was only when he met Gu Xiaoxiao that he understood that there was a strange woman in this world that he had never seen before.

This time, it was Mu Zhaoyang's turn to feel sad. Why did he have to provoke this legitimate daughter of the house of the Marquis?

Gu Xiaoxiao regretted it the moment the concealed weapon was released. This was the Yi King, after all. Even the current crown prince had to give him some respect. Instead, she directly used a hidden weapon to injure him.

"King Yi, are you alright? I didn't do it on purpose. Tell me, why did you suddenly make a move?"

Mu Zhaoyang was in so much pain that he could not speak. He could only bend over and cover his wound. Gu Xiaoxiao was also at a loss. She only knew how to use hidden weapons to injure people, she didn't even know how to treat them.

"How about I call a doctor for you? This wound seems to be pretty deep." As Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, she moved her hand towards the wound. Mu Zhaoyang sucked in a breath of cold air and pushed Gu Xiaoxiao away.

"Girl, you don't know how to be serious."

Gu Xiaoxiao sighed. She still wanted to rope in the Yi King, but it was all right now. It had become a pipe dream.

"King Yi, my courtyard is desolate and I don't have any ointment for you to use. Why don't you go back to your own residence and have someone take care of it?"

Mu Zhaoyang let out a cold snort. This woman actually wanted to chase him away? No way! " There's no way to explain this, but you want me to leave? "

Gu Xiaoxiao felt helpless. She had neither money nor what Mu Zhaoyang wanted. How could she possibly give him an explanation?

"Duke Yi, you should know that I am poor right now and cannot give you anything. How about you hit me? Just treat it as venting your anger. " Gu Xiaoxiao had said so on purpose. No matter what Mu Zhaoyang said, he was still a prince of the dynasty. How could he fight with a little girl like her?

However, she had underestimated Mu Zhaoyang's degree of playfulness. As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Mu Zhaoyang started laughing, looking like he had succeeded in his scheme.

Gu Xiaoxiao dodged without thinking. Who would have thought that she would bump into a tea table on the side with a loud noise?

The guards of the house of the Marquis were no pushovers as well. They hurried over when they heard such a commotion. Mu Zhaoyang noticed that something was wrong. He ran away with his lightness skill in just three steps. By the time Gu Xiaoxiao had reacted, he had already blended in with the darkness.

At this time, only Gu Xiaoxiao was left in the manor's courtyard, still unable to react to what had happened.
