Gu Jiao asked, ”How long will it take for the authorities to give up if they canʼt find him?

Gu Jiao’s question was awkwardly phrased, and Xu Fengxian almost didnʼt understand it.

After a pause, Xu Fengxian said, ”They wonʼt give up. No one who escapes from the Han Family’s mines has ever not been found and brought back. Otherwise, why would no one dare to escape now? Your friend is probably the first one to escape this year. Be careful when you take him away later.”

Gu Jiao gave her a sidelong glance. ”Who said Iʼm taking him away?”

Xu Fengxian was stunned, ”What?”

Gu Jiao looked at Xu Fengxian threateningly and said, ”How long he stays hidden depends on how long you live.”

Xu Fengxian: ”...?!”

Wait, was this boy blackmailing her?

Did this mean she had to constantly help him deal with the Han Familyʼs officers?

Xu Fengxian stammered, ”I-I-I warn you...”

Gu Jiao said calmly, ”Those who are weak fear the strong, the strong fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear those who donʼt fear death. Guess which one I am?”

Xu Fengxian felt a lump in her throat like she was about to vomit blood.

Gu Chengfeng had a high fever all through the night, and Gu Jiao stayed by his bedside the entire night.

Before dawn the next day, Gu Jiao took a carriage to Tianqiong Academy.

At the entrance of the academy, she ran into Gu Xiaoshun.

Gu Xiaoshun, carrying his book bag, walked over and asked, ”Big sis! Did you stay at the Little County Princessʼ residence last night?”

”No.” This wasnʼt the place to talk. Gu Jiao glanced around and said, ”Iʼll tell you later.”

Gu Xiaoshun nodded, ”Okay.”

Gu Jiao planned to leave the horse king at the academy for the day and take it back in the evening.

Just as she had taken a few steps, someone called out from behind her, ”Are you Xiao Liulang? My young master requests your presence!”

”Iʼm not going.” Gu Jiao said without hesitation.

The person emphasized slowly, ”My young masterʼs surname is Han.”

Gu Jiao stopped in her tracks, handed the carriage reins to Gu Xiaoshun, and said, ”You go in first. My book bag is in the carriage, donʼt forget to bring it to Mingxin Hall.”

”Alright.” Gu Xiaoshun obediently took the reins.

”Lead the way.” Gu Jiao turned to the young guard and instructed.

The guard led Gu Jiao to a nearby alley.

Han Che had been waiting in the alley for some time, surrounded by several Han Family guards.

The atmosphere clearly indicated they were up to no good.

The matter was actually quite simple; it was all about a horse.

Originally, he thought that with Ming Junwang by his side, they would surely be able to take Xiao Liulangʼs horse. But unexpectedly, the Little County Princess intervened halfway.

Ming Junwang lost face and had to vent his frustration, blaming him for not assessing the situation properly and bullying someone under the protection of the Little County Princess.

Was that his fault though?

Wasnʼt it because Ming Junwang couldnʼt handle the Little County Princess?

Of course, he dared not utter these words.

He was burning with anger inside, unable to sleep all night as he tossed and turned, determined to get hold of that horse no matter what. In any case, he refused to swallow this humiliation.

Naturally, he wasnʼt entirely unreasonable.

He would use diplomacy first, force later.

”Xiao Liulang, let me be frank with you. Iʼve taken a liking to your horse. Name your price!”

Gu Jiao coldly stared at him.

”Why are you staring at me like that? The fact that I fancy your horse is your good fortune. Without this, do you think you have the qualifications to speak with the legitimate son of the Han Family?”

Gu Jiao continued to coldly stare at him.

Han Che inexplicably felt as if a ferocious wolf was eyeing him, making his forehead break out in a cold sweat.

Furious and embarrassed, he said, ”Xiao Liulang! Donʼt think anyone is really backing you! The Little County Princess is just a child. If Lord Yanshan and the Emperor find out youʼre using her, your fate will be worse than death! If you sell me the horse now and beg nicely, I might even consider having the Han Family protect——”

Before he could finish the last word, Gu Jiao kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground!

Like a young Asura, she stepped on his chest and said arrogantly, ”So what if youʼre from the Han Family?”

Han Che brought a total of six guards from the Han Family. Although they werenʼt as formidable as the death warriors, each was a skilled fighter in their own right.

Yet, from the moment Gu Jiao made her move until now, not a single one of them had reacted.

It was hard to say whether it was because Gu Jiaoʼs movements were too fast or her presence was too overwhelming.

Moans of pain escaped Han Cheʼs mouth.

Only then did the guards come to their senses. They exchanged glances and gritted their teeth as they charged at Gu Jiao.

If they had been six Dragon Shadow Guards, Gu Jiao might have hesitated, but these guards stood no chance against her.

Gu Jiao grabbed two of them, using them as hammers to strike the others. Within a few moves, she had beaten them until they were coughing up blood.

Han Che could only watch in horror as the guards he brought collapsed under Gu Jiaoʼs onslaught, his pupils shrinking involuntarily!

But if one really thought about it, this outcome didnʼt seem entirely unexpected.

Having trained in martial arts since childhood and ranking high among the young masters of noble families in Shengdu, Han Che had never been considered weak. However, when Xiao Liulang attacked him, he found himself completely powerless to resist.

What exactly was going on here?

How could a scholar from a lower state possess such a high-level of martial arts?

In truth, while Gu Jiao was indeed skilled, the lack of combat experience among Han Che and his guards played a significant role.

Han Che, after all, was just a young master of a noble family, rarely exposed to dangerous situations. Naturally, his father wouldnʼt assign ruthless guards to him.

If it had been Han shizi and his men here, Gu Jiao wouldnʼt have found it so easy to deal with them.

Gu Jiao kicked Han Che again, causing him such pain that he nearly passed out.

He couldnʼt understand——how could this guy be so merciless when he attacked?

”You—donʼt—ahh—”

Don’t what?

Gu Jiao hated noise.

Han Che was beaten so badly he began to question his life choices.

Now he truly understood that Gu Jiao wasnʼt bluffing. She truly didnʼt regard the Han Family with any fear.

He couldnʼt fathom how someone from a lower state could have the confidence to oppose a noble family from an upper state.

Others couldnʼt even kneel and grovel fast enough!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
