The world spun.

An Su's cold body fell into a warm embrace. Amid the crashing sounds, the water curtain completely poured down on the man. She was protected by the man, so only her hemline got slightly wet.

"Miss, are you alright? I had to …"

Just as the man wanted to let go, the blood color in An Su's eyes faded. She returned to the incoming red long whip, squinting her eyes, instinctively slapping against the man's chest. Then she ripped off the soft whip at her waist, throwing it towards the direction of the man.

"Pa …"

The two soft whips were intertwined in the air like two spirit snakes. She moved her arm slightly, then sent the man throwing out his whip and nearly falling into the river.

When An Su saw the face of the man waving the whip, she frowned a little. She ran to moat bank and somehow met a blind man who was burning paper and bothered to meddle in other people's business. During her dispute with him, she did not notice that there were many pleasure boats on the river, and one of them was slowly approaching the shore.

The target was her.

It was because the person wielding the whip was Ji Huachang's sworn enemy. He had previously relied on his status to bully her.

An Su looked down at the man who fell on the ground in a sorry state.

It was Xiao Tianyue.

It can't be good today anyway!

The other side was panicked for a while. Xiao Tianyue was held upright by someone and pointed at her, shouting loudly: "Ji Huachang, you are flirting with a man to embarrass my Sixth Brother and now you are trying to hurt me. Today, I will get rid of evil people like you, and kill all of you adulterers."

Get rid of evil people, and kill adulterers?

At her words, An Su's face sank, the air around her freezing like in frigid winters. She waved the long whip in her hand and left a bright red wound on the girl's cheek.

Flesh and blood were overturned, and the wound could be seen on the bone, showing how heavy-handed her attack was.

"Ah …"

A piercing pain set in.

Xiao Tianyue screamed miserably with hands covered on her face, "Men, hurry up and kill them for me. Bitch, you dare to disgrace my face, and if you are not chopped into pieces, I will never give up. You people better hurry up and kill her, and kill her for me …"

She didn't restrain herself, now she dared to curse again?

An Su bit her lips, a lot of images of Xiao Tianyue being bullied appeared in her mind. It was said that Ji Huachang was bullying others using her strength, being tyrannical and malicious, but other than chasing after Xiao Ning around the Capital, and hurting several aristocratic girls because of being deceived and injured by ill-intentioned people, she had never killed anyone. There were many people who were harmed by Xiao Tianyue, including palace maids and commoners. There were even people who were beaten to death by her, but no one dared to call Xiao Tianyue being malicious?

Ji Huachang, on the other hand, had always been patient with Xiao Tianyue, who was Xiao Ning's Sister by blood. But it has encouraged Xiao Tianyu to be more arrogant. In the past, She would make a fool of Ji Huachang in front of everyone, making Ji Huachang kneel down and pour tea as an apology, let alone the slaps.

Today, Xiao Tianyue even wanted to kill her!

She was indeed a member of Xiao Family, who were all so domineering and vicious.

Xiao Ning was so, and Xiao Tianyue went even further.

In the end, what did the imperial edict have to do with her? Even if Ji Huachang forced the Marquis Yongning to ask for it, it was the emperor who dictated the imperial edict. If possible, they would have the emperor cancel the marriage. But now they all had come to threaten her?

Did he really think that she would marry into her Xiao Family?

The one who wanted to marry Xiao Ning was Ji Huachang, not An Su!

Naturally, these two people were still navie. How could they be the match for the fourth son of Xiao Family, who claimed thousands of lives of her An family without a blink. His good reputation was even spread further and wider, being the kindhearted 'King Xian'?

"Kill her, kill her for me …" Xiao Tianyue kept cussing.

Since she wanted to court death, I would grant her wish!

An Su's eyes flashed across a trace of bloodthirsty killing intent as the long whip in her hand suddenly straightened and wrapped the tip of the whip around an elaborate railing. She flew up into the air with the momentum, and swept her right leg across Xiao Tianyue's left shoulder. Xiao Tianyue, who was standing beside the fence, was kicked down into the moat upside-down.

Splash! Splash! The splash created two meters of water waves.

That swift and decisive action stupefied everyone on the cruise liner.

An Su's feet lightly touched the ground, and out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Third Princess who was shouting for help in the river, and then looked at the other people on the boat: "Third Young Master of Wang Family, Wang Xuanlang; Xie Family's Fifth Master, Xie Wentao; Wei Family's Eldest Young Master, Wei Jiaqi; other than the King Ning, the four young masters of the Capital, all gathered here? I forgot, there's also our Third Princess. You guys are so interesting. Three men are mingling with one girl secretly. If it spreads out, it would truly be a romantic affair. Compared to you all, I, Eldest Miss of Marquis Mansion who has only been chasing after a man, felt so inferior. "

A private meeting in the river of three young men and one girl?

The corner of Wang Xuanlang's mouth twitched, "Miss Ji, please don't say those nonsense. In broad daylight, there are not only three of us on the pleasure boat. How could you say ‘mingle’?”

"No mingling?"

An Su raised her eyebrows, "Then you must be plotting to kill me here, so that your good brother can vent his anger? Well, have you found any solution?" Of course, there were more than three of them. Despite the two personal attendants who served as their boatmen, Xiao Tianyue did not bring any servants with herself.

Xie Wentao's handsome face froze, "Don't speak nonsense, what benefits do we get if we kill you? A wicked woman like you will be punished by gods, so we don’t need to kill you by ourselves. You don't want some good reputation, but we are all good people, and the princess is even a noble person. You can’t just smear us like that.”

"The sons and girls from good families?"

An Su retorted with a smile: "Fifth Young Master is really a master of teasing. I only casually mentioned it, but I didn't say that you guys are some evil villains. You all are in your prime time, and the princess was young and beautiful, so it was normal for you to be interested in each other. Is it strange? I wonder only there’s only One Third Princess, but there are three good boys. How can you get equal treatment? It’s really a problem!” She pointed her slender fingers at the three of them. Her face was full of distress and curiosity, but a faint light flashed through her eyes.

Their eyes twinkled——They were anxious to deny it? They were just being guilty!

Of course, they were not be plotting to kill her, and the one in the palace wouldn't agree. However, they still wanted to harm her. It seemed that although Ji Huachang had died, she had left a lot of trouble. The three of them were Xiao Ning's vicious friends, whom Ji Huachang had associated with a lot.

And these three people had also repeatedly ridiculed her and viciously fooled her. The four young masters of the Capital? They were just prodigal sons of some aristocratic families who only knew how to wine, dine and recite poems for fun. But for them, Ji Huachang wouldn't have that many infamous nicknames. Now she didn't have time to play cat and mouse with them.

It just so happened that they all wanted to harm her, so she might as well finish them all in one go!

"What prime time, she really doesn't know anything."

Wei Jiaqi's face was ashen as he swung his sleeves, "I saw that you were caught unguarded by us, that's why you felt guilty and wanted to slander us in order to escape. Ji Huachang, you woman, are you that shameless?

An Su did not care about being scolded, but instead smiled: "I thought you all have already been used to my illiteracy, dishonesty and brazenness, but I never thought you have not yet. It doesn't matter, as the fourth young masters of the Capital are said to be kind, and good brothers who would even wear the same pant. So we will be families, and one day we will get used to it."

"You're really a vulgar woman …" The woman couldn’t be more shameless. She had actually thought that it was something worth praising. She was even smug. Did she take the wrong medicine today? In the past, she would always treat them with respect, but today, she was ridiculing them.

She even dared to whip the Third Princess?

Third Princess...

Wei Jiaqi was startled, he quickly rushed to the side of the fence and saw Xiao Tianyue who was struggling in the river. His cold sweat was dripping down as he quickly called for the servants to save the princess: "Hurry up and go down to save her. Why are you still standing there? Hurry up!"

"Ji Huachang, do you really think that you can disregard everything because of His Majesty's order?! If the princess were really hurt today, let alone you, even your father wouldn't be able to take the responsibility!" Wang Xie and Xie Jiaqi were shocked, damn it, they had actually forgotten about the princess who had fallen into the water after being messed up by the woman.

An Su suddenly took a step forward and blocked their path, "Princess fell into the water and you guys did nothing to save her. Don’t you think His Majesty and Imperial Consort Jing will hold a grudge against the Wei, Xie and Wang families? Also, let me remind you two, if I am implicated in this matter in the slightest, your secrets will not be kept anymore. "

Xie Wentao coldly snorted, "What do we have to be afraid of if we are clean? Don't think that just by saying that, you can threaten us! On the other hand, if you are afraid, hurry to the water and save Her Highness. If you apologize to the princess with sincerity, perhaps she might spare your life out of good intentions. "

If Xiao Tianyue would let her go, and she would not have intended to kill her. Furthermore, she had ruined her appearance, so she would not be satisfied without chopping her into pieces!

"I feel like it is you who should worry about it!" An Su's eyes flashed with a vague smile, looking at Wang Xuanlang and Xie Wentao. She paused slightly, and then spoke in silence.

It was just four words, yet it made their expressions drastically change!

Wang Xuanlang and Xie Wentao looked at each other, a thick killing intent in their eyes. The two of them had gloomy expressions on their faces, and reached out to strike towards An Su at the same time. An Su was struck by the palm attack, being forced three steps back and spewing out blood. After smashing through the barrier, her body also fell down through the gap.

The moment she fell, she stared blankly at the shore, the corners of her mouth twitching. Then the strange smile was wept off. In the next instant, her face was filled with fear as she cried out, "Help, Third Princess and fourth young masters of the Capital are killing people. Help —"

The sharp sounds startled the birds that were resting on the branches of the trees by the shore. The sounds of miserable cries had already attracted the attention of many boats on the river. At this moment, several more ships were closing in on them.

Wei Jiaqi, who was in charge of saving the princess, was also stunned. He turned around and furiously glared at his two friends: "You two are crazy! You killed her at this time? Do you want to be her scapegoats?" Be it the Third Princess or Ji Huachang, they could not get away with it if any of them died here.

They were simply courting death.

Wang and Xie were also upset. Wang Xuanlang's face turned green as he looked down at the water ripples on the river surface, the killing intent in his heart growing stronger. He immediately decided to do something more awful, a small steel ball flying out from his hand.

Their target was An Su.

The iron ball was deflected by a dart.

Wang Xuanlang stared across the river—— there were too many boats on the river, Wang Xuanlang was unable to find the attacker in such a short period of time. But right at this moment, a creaking sound came from the boat opposite them, and the gauze was torn and tied into two long purple brocades. Accompanied by a black shadow, the two people in the water were carried into the boat on the other side of the river.

He wanted to make another move, but he no longer had the chance.

They looked at the lifesaver who threw away the gauze and the woman who was still crying for help after being saved, the clenched fists of Wang and Xie trembling.
