Chapter 240 Being calculated

After Xu Jingyun finished speaking, she saw that the other party looked relaxed, not afraid but laughing, as if he didn't care about his threatening words at all!

He even looked at Xu Jingyun with that disgusting gaze, grinning lewdly. After sizing her up from head to toe, he rubbed his hands together, revealing his large, yellow teeth, and said in a lewd manner:

"Hehe! Young master, you dare to come to this humble alley all by yourself! What courage! Judging by your figure, you must be quite a handsome young man! I never thought I would be so lucky! But why is your face covered..."

Xu Jingyun tightened her grip on the sword, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes, but seeing the other person's disgusting yellow teeth, she didn't want to dirty her hands.

So he stopped hiding it, frowned, pointed at the beggar with black spots, and whispered a few words into the air:

"Come out, grab her, take the things, and then gouge out her eyes and cut out her tongue."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." sounds were heard.

Four black-clad guards leaped out of the shadows and landed on either side of Xu Jingyun. They bowed slightly to Xu Jingyun and then headed towards the beggar.

The beggar seemed to be intimidated by the four people who had suddenly appeared, and only then did he feel fear. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Young master, spare me! I'll give you the purse right away..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of reaching into his pocket.

The man in black turned to look at Xu Jingyun's attitude, only to see that he remained unmoved. He took a few steps forward, slightly raised his chin, and said contemptuously, "Too late!"

The four men in black moved with lightning speed, reaching the beggar just as they were about to grab him when he finally pulled something out of his pocket—

It wasn't a purse at all, but a packet of white powder.

"Ah, it's the Bone-Strengthening Powder... Your Highness, please step back..."

Caught off guard, the four were hit by the drug, but they didn't forget to warn Xu Jingyun behind them first. Then they covered their mouths and noses and backed away, but it seemed that the drug was too strong, and they collapsed to the ground after taking only a few steps.

This bone-numbing powder is a hunting powder, and not many people know about it. Just a little bit can immediately paralyze the bones and cause the person to fall into a deep sleep. It is mostly used to hunt large wild animals and is rarely used on humans!

Xu Jingyun was standing further away, so she didn't inhale much powder, but she managed to stay conscious by gripping the sword hilt tightly and relying on the pain in her palms.

When the black-spotted beggar saw that he hadn't fallen yet, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then realized that he was putting on a brave face. Instantly, he lost his previous servile and begging attitude and walked towards Xu Jingyun triumphantly.

However, out of fear of the sword in Xu Jingyun's hand, he didn't dare to get too close, only daring to mutter a few words:

"Oh! Young master, you're quite resilient! Weren't you just about to gouge out my eyes and cut out my tongue? Why aren't you doing it now?"

Xu Jingyun glanced at the four guards on the ground, then used her dark eyes to etch the beggar's appearance into her mind.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed his own arm, using the pain to keep himself conscious. He stumbled and gritted his teeth as he retreated towards the alleyway behind him.

The black-spotted beggar was shocked by his ruthless treatment of himself and was momentarily stunned. He then realized his intention and tried to stop him, but the other man cut off a piece of his clothes.

Xu Jingyun disgustedly sheathed his sword, then propped himself up on the ground, head bowed, his hair falling to his chest as he moved. Ignoring the flying hair, he spoke in a weak yet threatening tone:

"Do you...know who I am?"

As Xu Jingyun finished speaking, the beggar's gray, rough clothes, stained with various dirt, came into view. The beggar, in a fit of exasperation, was dreaming of the future:

"I wanted to be gentle with you, but you refused to listen and chose to suffer the consequences! Today, no matter if you are a noble young master or a prince, in the end you will all have to submit to this beggar..."

Let's see if the Pavilion Master of Wushuang Pavilion still wants you, this 'premarital virgin, unfaithful husband.' Then, this wicked woman can conveniently marry you..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyun felt a sudden tightness in his heart. At the same time, he could understand that he had been tricked!

This man was just a beggar. Knowing his identity, yet still daring to act this way, it's clear someone was secretly instigating him. And that instigator could only be them—

Feng Xin! Zhu Yao! How dare you scheme against him! Once he falls from grace, I will tear them and this disgusting man to pieces!

After thinking it over, Xu Jingyun realized that she couldn't hold on for much longer. She subtly turned her head and saw the alley entrance not far away. Once she got out of the alley, she could ask someone for help!

So he quickened his pace, one hand on the wall and the other on his sword. Because all his weight was on the sword, the tip of the sword sparked quite a bit as he moved!

The beggar followed him closely, but seemed wary of the weapon in his hand, only daring to stay a short distance away. Now that the other man was almost at the alley entrance, he felt increasingly anxious.

[Why haven't they arrived yet! If they've escaped, I'll be lucky to escape with my life!]

Just as she was thinking this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Here it comes!

Xu Jingyun naturally noticed that someone had suddenly stood behind him. Just as the two were about to collide, he quickly withdrew his left hand, which was supporting him against the wall, and used his last bit of strength to thrust the sword in his right hand behind him.

"Clang... Bang..."

Unfortunately, he failed to succeed and was instead knocked away by the force of the opponent's resistance, falling hard to the ground!

The beggar quickly stepped forward obsequiously: "Sir, you've finally come! You almost let that little rascal... young master get away!"

The beggar had intended to show his loyalty to the newcomer by deliberately calling Xu Jingyun a "little bitch," but upon seeing the newcomer's gloomy eyes, he changed the subject.

"Feng Xin!" Xu Jingyun said through gritted teeth, his eyelids growing heavier and his eyes half-closed.

After saying those words, Xu Jingyun completely lost consciousness.

Feng Xin frowned, noticing the injury on his hand, and looked at the beggar with a gloomy expression.

The beggar, however, didn't understand her meaning. He continued rubbing his hands lewdly, bowing and scraping obsequiously to Feng Xin, his eyes occasionally glancing at Xu Jingyun on the ground, saying:

"My lord, you said that in addition to the hundred taels of gold you gave me, you would also find me a handsome husband. Look... him..."

"Him? You're not worthy!" Before he could finish speaking, Feng Xin interrupted him sharply, but quickly followed with a cold laugh, uttering a chilling statement with an ambiguous meaning:

"But don't worry, your husband will definitely marry you, and he will marry you the most beautiful one!"

However, I'll burn the most beautiful paper doll for you!
