Chapter 205 Lin Shu is truly delighted with someone like you.
But after Grand Tutor Cui finished speaking, Lin Shu ignored her, leaving her sitting there somewhat awkwardly.
Those of lower status dared not step forward to smooth things over, while those of higher status were all watching the spectacle with great interest, hoping it would escalate further. As a result, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold!
Xu Jingyun suddenly stood up, glared at Lin Shu, and then looked at Cui Haitang with a half-smile, saying:
"Since Miss Cui wants to see it, I, this young master, will make a fool of myself!"
As he stood up, he also took the sword that Lin Shu had placed on the table.
When he reached the center of the hall, Xu Jingyun made a starting gesture. No one understood what he was going to do until he gracefully began to wield his sword. Only then did everyone understand!
Lin Shu, waving the fan she had snatched from Xu Jingyun, sat on it watching with great interest. Then, as if remembering something, she beckoned to Chou Er behind her. Chou Er immediately stepped forward, and then Lin Shu asked:
"Was that Grand Tutor Cui just now? And the two people beside her must be his legitimate daughter and son?"
Ugly Second nodded: "Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing the answer, Lin Shu looked at the veiled man to Grand Tutor Cui's left. This was the man who had tried to drag them down that day. A murderous glint flashed in her eyes, and she gave an order:
"Kill that man when you get the chance!"
"Yes." Chou Er glanced discreetly at the young master of the Cui family. Although he didn't know why Lin Shu wanted to kill him, he still respectfully obeyed the order.
Suddenly, Chou Er recalled the scene she had just witnessed of Lin Shu and Xu Jingyun interacting, and added somewhat hesitantly:
"That Miss Cui previously refused the Regent's Palace's marriage proposal, would you like to join her..."
As he spoke, Chou Er secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.
Lin Shu paused in her fanning motion, her gaze sharpening as she turned to Cui Haitang, realizing she had almost forgotten about it.
It's not that I forgot, but rather that I didn't know that the Regent Prince of Nanli was Xu Jingyun before, so I didn't care at all. But now that I know, then... I have to pay attention!
After a long while, Lin Shu said indifferently, "You decide for yourself!"
Ugly Second understood that Lin Shu meant to kill if possible!
After Chou Er withdrew, Lin Shu looked at Xu Jingyun, who was wielding her sword with great skill, her eyes dark and deep.
Xu Jingyun felt a chill run down her spine and almost tripped...
However, that feeling quickly disappeared, just like his illusion. He stopped caring about it and instead turned his sword, thrusting it straight at Cui Haitang...
Suddenly confronted by a sword, Cui Haitang was so frightened that she fell to the ground and retreated repeatedly, showing none of her previous arrogance.
Everyone in the hall, including Grand Tutor Cui, thought that Xu Jingyun was just venting her anger and would definitely hold back! So when they saw Cui Haitang's disheveled appearance, they all turned their heads and looked at her with disdain!
Only Cui Haitang herself knew that Xu Jingyun really didn't hold back. If she hadn't dodged, she would probably have been seriously injured even if she hadn't died!
Xu Jingyun scoffed coldly, then teased her like a dog for a long time until she got bored, and then muttered, "Tsk! Useless!"
Just as he was about to sheathe his sword, he remembered the 'shameless' woman who had flirted with him earlier.
Xu Jingyun then turned to the side, raised her sword, and charged towards Lin Shu.
Lin Shu sat silently, motionless, fanning herself with her right hand and even elegantly pouring herself a glass of wine with her left, sipping it slowly. Her eyes were filled with a smile as she stared intently at Xu Jingyun, who was getting closer and closer to her.
Just as the stab was about to land, Xu Jingyun's lips curled slightly, and he looked up to meet the other person's familiar peach blossom eyes. This was the first time he had looked into their eyes today.
The name 'Lin Shu' was stuck in Xu Jingyun's throat, and she couldn't utter it.
At that moment, he noticed the sword in his hand and tried to retract it, but even with his quick movements, he still managed to tear Lin Shu's robes, and he was thrown against the table in front of him by the momentum...
Lin Shu reacted quickly, slapping the table to the right with her left hand. With a loud 'clang, clang,' the table slid in front of Nangong Jin, and the small table that Nangong Jin had been holding fell off the table, splashing its contents all over Cui Taishi and the others.
Nangong Jin, dressed in red, was also caught off guard and got soaked. He stared blankly at the long table that had suddenly appeared!
As the long table slid open, Xu Jingyun, who had rushed over, naturally fell into Lin Shu's soft bosom.
Time stood still in that instant!
Lin Shu lowered her head and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Young Master, are you not going to get up? Are you perhaps preparing to offer yourself to me?"
Xu Jingyun's mind went blank for a moment, her mind filled with Lin Shu's eyes, and she was completely unresponsive to Lin Shu's teasing words!
Moreover, he took a deep breath in Lin Shu's arms, which made Lin Shu chuckle softly.
When Xu Jingyun realized what she was doing, her face under the mask flushed slightly, but she habitually whispered and tugged at her lips:
"If I say yes, what will you do?"
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was answering the question about sacrificing herself for her.
"Ha! What do you think, Your Highness? I am not a person who is indiscriminate in my tastes and accepts all comers."
Lin Shu first asked in a low voice, then became serious, and finally added with a teasing tone: "However, Your Highness, I really like someone like you!"
'I'm really happy to have someone like you...' These words kept echoing in Xu Jingyun's ears. He couldn't help but smile. Then, when he thought that Lin Shu might not know that he was 'Xu Jingyun', he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
The two of them remained in this position for quite some time, oblivious to everyone else, until Nangong Jin, twisting his wine-stained clothes, gritted his teeth and said, "Jing'er! Get up!"
It was clear that Nangong Jin was furious, naturally because Lin Shu's actions had caused his clothes to get wet!
Xu Jingyun hurriedly got up and returned Lin Shu's sword to her, her ears turning red.
Lin Shu nodded and accepted it, then resumed her indifferent demeanor, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Nangong Jin, and said, "I acted hastily just now, please forgive me, Regent! I will definitely come to apologize another day!"
"How could that be! You flatter me, Pavilion Master. I should thank you for catching my son in time!" Nangong Jin said politely, but his tone was not very friendly.
Lin Shu nodded, thinking it was time to get down to business. She turned to Zhu Yao, rubbed her temples, pretended to be drunk, and said coldly, "May I have the pleasure of taking a look around the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"
"Of course!" The banquet was only halfway through, so Zhu Yao didn't think much of it and casually called a maid to lead her there: "Xiang'er, you will lead the way for the Pavilion Master, so please treat her well!"
"Yes," the maid named Xiang'er replied, then respectfully raised her hand to Lin Shu: "Please follow me, Pavilion Master."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Lin Shu took a step and went outside. Chou Er naturally followed. As for the other members of Wushuang Pavilion, they had already hidden in the shadows not long after they entered.
After taking a few steps, everyone saw Lin Shu suddenly turn around, pointing seriously to the tear in her clothes, and say to Xu Jingyun:
"Oh, right! Your Highness tore my clothes, don't forget you have to pay for it!"
Xu Jingyun was still in shock. He wanted to ask Lin Shu if she recognized him. If she did, why did she pretend not to know him and flirt with him after sitting together for so long...?
But he also knew that Lin Shu wouldn't appear in Nanli without reason, and fearing he might jeopardize her plans, he could only suppress his inner urgency and let out a soft hum:
"Hmph! I know."
Lin Shu's eyes held a smile as she walked out, her voice feigning indifference as she said:
"That's good! Then I will congratulate the young master from the Peerless Pavilion!"
