Gu Sui’s gaze towards Sui Yu changed.
He originally just wanted Sui Yu to use the Gu family’s influence to peacefully resolve this person who seemed quite capable.
But he didn’t expect that an ordinary-looking attendant was also a highly skilled fighter!
The people around consciously made way for Song Hui, and her face unconsciously darkened.
She didn’t want to leave just like this, but she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Turning her head, she met the Prince Regent’s slightly narrowed eyes.
“Who was it that said they would have no complaints just now?”
The cold voice pierced through the chilly wind. At that moment, Song Hui couldn’t help but move the hand holding her long sword.
This was her instinctive reaction when facing killing intent.
“I now understand the hospitality of the capital. I take my leave.”
Song Hui’s tone was no longer playful as before as she spoke solemnly, then strode away.
The surrounding people were still looking at each other in confusion, somewhat at a loss.
Just now, not only did Gu Sui speak up, but even the Prince Regent spoke out to support Young Master Gu?
How strange!
When it comes to coldness, Gu Sui ranks second, and the only one who dares to claim first place is Prince Regent Mu Jiulu.
She’s not someone who would easily meddle in other people’s business, let alone Gu Sui’s business!
“The auspicious time has arrived. Young Master, throw the embroidered ball.”
Even though one was driven away, there were still over a hundred left below.
Gu Sui, forced into this situation, let out a long sigh, thinking to himself that his life was truly bitter.
Marriage, marriage, marriage… what kind of marriage is this? From birth until now, he had only dated one girlfriend, and they had broken up…
?
Girlfriend?
It was as if some fog had dissipated in Gu Sui’s mind. He stared straight at the Prince Regent sitting on the second floor.
Although she was already an ex-girlfriend…
It doesn’t mean there’s no possibility of getting back together!
At least she was the only one he was familiar with in this strange world.
If he had to get married, she was definitely the first choice.
Having made up his mind, Gu Sui glanced at the exquisite embroidered ball with tassels in his hand, and in the next second, threw it towards the direction directly opposite the second floor.
He had some understanding of Mu Jiulu’s martial prowess – he definitely couldn’t beat her.
This was a lesson learned from countless nights.
As for the others, seeing how afraid they were of this Prince Regent, they probably couldn’t beat her either.
The people below saw the embroidered ball leave Gu Sui’s hand, their hearts leaping to their throats for a moment, ready to make their move to grab it. However, they found the direction the embroidered ball was flying in a bit strange.
!!!
How could it be thrown to the Prince Regent on the second floor!
Has Gu Sui gone mad?!
People’s gazes followed the movement of the embroidered ball. Just as it was about to reach the Prince Regent’s hand, Mu Jiulu raised her hand and waved her sleeve.
With a bang, the embroidered ball exploded into pieces in mid-air, colorful silk fluttering down.
Gu Sui’s eyes widened.
Shattered, it shattered!
The scene was quite awkward for a moment, silence spreading throughout the entire venue. Mu Jiulu flexed her wrist and let out a puzzled “Eh?”
“Which family made this embroidered ball? The quality is so poor.”
Gu Sui gripped the railing in front of him tightly, his lips pressed together.
Damn you, Mu Jiulu, you did that on purpose!
“This slave knew the Prince Regent came to cause trouble. Young Master, what should we do next?”
Yun Mu’s face was flushed with anger. The people on the first floor were also discussing among themselves.
“So the Prince Regent doesn’t want to let Young Master Gu get married?”
“I told you, with the relationship between the Prince Regent and General Gu, how could she be so kind-hearted?”
“But… it seems that Young Master Gu took the initiative to throw the embroidered ball towards the Prince Regent?”
“Tsk, how strange and bizarre.”
Of course, these people valued their lives. Their voices were so faint that only those beside them could hear.
Gu Sui looked across at the person sitting in the chair, sipping clear tea, as if nothing had happened, with a carefree demeanor.
Gu Sui gritted his teeth in anger and took another embroidered ball from the tray, sweeping his gaze around.
You won’t accept a direct throw, huh? This young master was once the main force of the basketball team. I refuse to believe I can’t score a goal!
Gu Sui first pressed the embroidered ball in his hand, testing its elasticity.
Once he had a sense of it, he aimed at a pillar on the west building’s corridor, twisted his wrist, and threw the embroidered ball out with ninety percent of his strength.
Mu Jiulu was still lowering her head to drink tea, seeming not to pay attention to the outside world. The crowd saw the second embroidered ball leave his hand and gathered their strength to grab it.
However, the embroidered ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, hit a pillar where no one was, and then bounced towards the center of the second floor—
Still the location of the Prince Regent.
As Mu Jiulu put down her teacup, the lid beside her hand flew out in a spiral.
From beginning to end, she didn’t even raise her head, yet she knew exactly the direction the embroidered ball was coming from.
The rapidly spinning teacup lid in the air collided head-on with the embroidered ball. With a crisp sound, it exploded, both shattering into pieces.
The people below dodged the falling sharp porcelain fragments, utterly speechless.
The Prince Regent not only didn’t want Gu Sui to get married but also wanted to eliminate some dissent along the way!
Gu Sui clenched his fists, nearly grinding his silver teeth to dust.
He looked at the last remaining embroidered ball in the tray, gave a cold laugh, grabbed it, and casually threw it downstairs, glaring at the person opposite.
Whether you want this embroidered ball or not, this old man doesn’t care about you anymore!
Seeing that there was finally a chance to grab this third embroidered ball, the people on the first floor rubbed their fists and palms, activating their lightness skills and leaping upwards, fully prepared.
Whoever grabbed this last embroidered ball would have the opportunity!
“Yan Wu.”
Mu Jiulu’s voice was light. The maid standing half a step behind her, upon hearing this, slightly nodded her head, tapped her toes, and leaped up, her body like a swift little swallow, crossing the air.
The crowd only felt a shadowy figure sweep past their eyes, and the embroidered ball that should have been in the air suddenly disappeared.
“There it is!”
After getting the embroidered ball, Yan Wu grabbed a red silk ribbon at the corner of the eaves, kicked her feet, and flew back to her original position.
Although it happened suddenly, someone with quick eyes and hands reached out and grabbed Yan Wu’s ankle, trying to snatch back the embroidered ball.
Yan Wu was not flustered. Immediately, a small dagger popped out from the tip of her shoe.
That person’s eyes narrowed and immediately withdrew her hand, but also borrowed some force to shoot up a section.
She also grabbed that red silk ribbon and then drew the short dagger at her waist, engaging in a fight with Yan Wu.
Mu Jiulu sat leisurely in her chair, rubbing the knuckle ring on her thumb.
No matter how fierce the blade light and sword shadows were not far away, she remained unmoved.
After a moment, Yan Wu stood in front of her with a body of cold wind, presenting the embroidered ball with both hands.
“Queen.”
Mu Jiulu raised her hand to take it, played with the colorful embroidered ball for a while, and then looked at Gu Sui, her red lips parting slightly.
“Does Mr. Gu really want to marry this prince so much?”
Gu Sui: “……”
Damn you!
