Chapter 28: Heart Racing

  She pointed at the woman in his arms, wanting her brother to help her vent.

  Since she was a child, her older brother has always been very fond of her and never refused any of her requests.

  Although I couldn't understand why he didn't hold my hand today, but instead held that strange woman's... No, it mustn't be that my cousin took the initiative to hold her hand, my cousin must have wanted to hold mine, but that shameless woman took advantage of the situation and clung to my cousin.

  In front of so many people, her brother being a prince, it's not good to push her away... Thinking of this, Du Yuxiang felt even more resentful towards Qin Luoyi! Her finger pointing at Qin Luoyi couldn't help but tremble.

  Damn you, fox spirit!

  Unexpectedly, in front of a large crowd, she threw herself into her brother-in-law's arms!

  Seduce her older male cousin!

  Qin's face flashed with confusion, looking at his trembling hand pointing at himself, with a resentful and wronged expression. Du Yucui's face turned white then green, then black again, with a bewildered look, said: "Did I kick you? Ah, I don't remember anymore, just now...I remembered I was going downstairs, but didn't know what tripped me up, my heart panicked...I don't even know what happened...Could it be that I really kicked you unintentionally?"

  Her bewildered eyes, her tone of regret, combined with that stunning face and those jet-black, shining phoenix-like eyes, made everyone still in the Xianling Square feel that she was innocent. Even if she had kicked someone, it must have been an unintentional move made out of panic.

  And...

  She said that when she went downstairs, she tripped over something...

  Why was I tripped up for no reason?

  There's nothing on those stairs!

  Nor did anyone go upstairs.

  Those who can come to the Xianling Square are not bad in their innate talent, they have already seen that the apricot-clothed girl has no spiritual power and is not a cultivator at all. The white-clothed woman, however, is a ninth-level peak of the Qi-refining stage!

  It's easy to imagine who was behind it all... thinking back to the earlier dispute over the purple Ganoderma lucidum.

  Moreover, isn't it a cultivation of the 9th level of Qi Refining that can be kicked down by someone without spiritual power?

  This is simply a joke!

  The cultivation of Qi period, although it can't be said that the cultivation is strong enough to ride a sword and walk, but it's also much more agile than ordinary people. Jumping from the third floor won't do anything, just the second floor... How could it be so embarrassing, and still need the Third Prince to call someone out to rescue?

  It's obviously ill-intentioned.

  Once they understood this point, dozens of eyes looked at Du Yuxiang with a hint of disdain and contempt.

  The guilty party is the first to file a complaint, and this is exactly the kind of person they are!

  No wonder people say the most venomous thing is a woman's heart. This cousin of the Third Prince, looking soft and weak, with an absolutely stunning beauty, unexpectedly has such vicious thoughts.

  Then people began to whisper and ask each other which Miss Du this was.

  The maternal uncle of the Third Prince, the Du family, although not in the capital, is a prominent aristocratic family in Chu State, with many people in the family and quite famous in the cultivation world. Who would have thought that such a narrow-minded and vengeful junior would emerge from their family...

  Du Yucui felt the disdainful and dismissive glances from the people around her, which made her even angrier. The anger in her eyes intensified, she opened her mouth but was so angry that she couldn't say a complete sentence.

  Qin's face showed even more distress, but in her heart she was secretly delighted.

  This woman, young and ruthless, if she really was just an ordinary person without any special powers, earlier when she tripped herself up and fell, not only would she have lost face, but she would also have been badly hurt, perhaps even getting a concussion!

  She didn't want to let herself off easy, and of course she didn't want to let her off easy either. Originally, she had planned to drag her down together, letting her be a meat shield for herself... This way, she could avenge the grudge from earlier when she was secretly causing trouble, and it wouldn't draw too much attention!

  Who would have thought that Chu Yixiu actually didn't pull his cousin, but instead pulled her back.

  It really surprised her!

  At this moment, Chu Yixiu still had his arm around her waist and hadn't let go. A flash of displeasure crossed her eyes, and as she turned around, she struggled free from his grasp. With a worried expression, she said to him: "Your Highness, I really didn't mean to, just now...I really didn't know I kicked her."

  The warm and soft body in his arms suddenly left, leaving a faint sense of emptiness in Chu Yixiu's heart.

  His calm and handsome face remained unruffled, but the serene jade-like pupils revealed a subtle turmoil, quietly betraying his true feelings at that moment.

  With his hands clasped behind him, he suppressed the urge to hold her in his arms again and relive that warm, soft, and beautiful impulse. He shook his head and said loudly, "It's okay, don't worry."

  As she walked past, she turned around and went downstairs to Du Yuzheng's side, who was still fuming with anger. She hooked her lips and said with a hint of teasing: "Cousin, it's been months since we last met, but your skills seem to have regressed instead?"

  His voice was very light, except for the Du Yuxiang in front of him, Qin Luoyi and Yu Zhanggui who followed closely behind him, no one else heard it.

  Qin Luo Yi heard this and secretly smiled.

  Yu Zhuanggui lowered his eyelids, wanting to retreat a few steps, but as the shopkeeper, with guests falling from upstairs, and the other party being the third prince's cousin, he couldn't ignore it for emotional or rational reasons.

  Du Yu Die bit her lip, her delicate face full of grievance, with a hint of faint unease.

  It turns out that from the very beginning, perhaps Tabo had already known that he himself was the one who made the plan to make that woman look good, and also misunderstood that he intentionally fell down from the building!

  The more I think about it, the more unbearable it is, the hands hanging by my side are clenched tightly.

  But she couldn't say that she didn't intentionally fall down the stairs... That woman was very sinister, and who knows what other evil tricks she might have up her sleeve!

  She only pinched herself, and the spiritual power inside her body seemed to be suddenly blocked, unable to exert itself at all! Knowing that falling down would be embarrassing, she could only wait with her eyes open for the fall...

  If it weren't for the shadows, today would be unbearable!

  But she couldn't say this, and even if she did, no one would believe her!

  Big Brother... and all the people in Xianling Square, they only see that her cultivation is higher than that woman's. No matter what she says or does, they don't believe her, they all stand on that woman's side!

  Yu Zhuanggui saw the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly smiled and made a round of conversation on the side. He also ordered someone to prepare tea in the VIP room to calm down the two girls.

  Chu Yixiu saw her eyes turning red and her breath catching in a stifled sob, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

  This younger female cousin, from a young age had exceptional talent, neither he nor her mother, even the people of the Du family, all indulged her since she was young, and didn't dare to say harsh words to her. Today, if she didn't get the Zi Ling Chi, it's no wonder that she would feel resentful!

  Fortunately, she was fine... and the girl beside her didn't suffer much either. Otherwise, with so many people in Xianling Square, she and her cousin would probably have to bear the reputation of bullying others.

  She nodded slightly, stretched out her arm, and supported her cousin's swaying body. Then she smiled at Qin Luoyi and said, "Miss... please."

  Qin Luo didn't want to go in with him and wasn't interested, so she took the silver note that the young servant had found and put it in her sleeve. Then, citing other business, she left Xianling Square.

  Not far from walking out, I vaguely felt that someone was following me behind. My heart moved and I turned around a street corner and stopped in a corner.

  A man in black hurriedly caught up, looking around everywhere.

  Qin Luoyi suddenly appeared, looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile: "What are you looking for? Tell me, or I can help you find it."
