Volume 2: Case within a case, the granary of the world Chapter 62: Hou Xian's nemesis, Han Siyi

  "In the 'Hundred Flowers Palace', people came and went, with laughter unceasing. Just as Huāle was speaking, the outside suddenly fell silent. Huāle wondered: 'Why did it suddenly become quiet.'"

  "Huh? The lights have all gone out." To be exact, the outside lights had all gone out, and as a result, the light from the private room poured out, casting a hazy yellow veil over the outside.

  "This is what I've arranged, your little Xiao Xian has gone on stage."

  "Is that so?" Everyone stretched their necks to look, and from the corner of the stage, a man in white robes walked up with his hands and feet shrinking, his long white robes slightly transparent, his steps like the wind, his silk shirt fluttering with every step, revealing curves that sparked the imagination.

  Her long hair falls all the way down her back, with a hairpin holding it in place, and there is not a single thread of heterochromatic color on her entire body.

  "This is the feeling Xiao Xianxian gave me, a clean and pure boy, really enviable cleanliness, his eyes are clear and not contaminated by the red dust."

  I feel like vomiting: "Forget it, he's a talent worth more than his life."

  "That's frugal."

  Stroking his forehead, a beauty emerges in his lover's eyes, and all flaws become merits.

  The outside had been quiet for a while, and Hou Xian stood still in the center of the stage, holding his sword, looking uneasy and tense. His black and white eyes searched around, as if looking for someone.

  "This won't do." Hua Lian's face fell as she pouted, "A guest who doesn't get a good welcome isn't worth having."

  "You're really troublesome."

  "Of course, making a bet with Madame Hu Guo, the demand must be high."

  I pointed at the zither: "Play a tune."

  "Alright, I'll listen to you."

  I lifted the curtain, and with the sound of the guqin, Hou Xian's gaze turned towards me. I raised my fan and made a Taiji sword gesture. Immediately, he began to dance. The sword light was like snow, his shadow like wind, and amidst the wind and snow, Hou Xian's proud demeanor shone through.

  Hey, our Xiao Xuan is really good-looking.

  Suddenly, another woman fell from the sky, and Huā Liè was puzzled: "Strange, who is that woman?"

  It was just strange. The two people on the stage actually danced out a pair of mandarin ducks swords in the sound of the piano, only... this pair of mandarin ducks swords had no love, but killing intent, and the two were actually fighting each other, however, the moves merged into dance poses, making those who had never seen such performances at "Baifa Palace" stand up one after another, stretching their necks in amazement.

  The lamp was lit again, and the entire hall was instantly bright as daybreak.

  Suddenly. Hou Xuan flew towards me and jumped over, immediately after that, the woman chased over, Hou Xuan hid behind my back: "Madam save me!"

  "Save you?!" The sword of the woman in front of me was already at my eyes, I didn't have time to think and raised the fan in my hand. Due to excessive tension, a hot flow rushed up to my chest, following my arm to block the downward force, the fan went down. Dissolving that power, it wasn't strong, I could feel it, so after a turn, I stretched out my left hand and subconsciously grabbed the sword-wielding hand, all movements were smooth like flowing water, done in one breath.

  "Who!" A cold word, awakened me from my daze. I let go of her hand and took a clear look at her appearance, an exceptionally calm face stood in front of me with a peaceful expression like an iceberg, jet-black eyes, unusually clear eye whites, black and white clearly separated like a mountain spring.

  "Hansiyu, Hansiyu." The string was stuck in my ear. I clasped my fists: "So it's Miss Han. May I ask why you're chasing after Hou Xuan?"

  "Did you hear? That beauty is one of the three attendants of the Empress Dowager." Soft murmurs came from both sides.

  "I said that beauty seems somewhat familiar."

  "The Empress Dowager is indeed a romantic. Summon the Imperial Attendant to 'Hundred Flowers Palace' for a dance."

  "You don't know? Nationwide, only the Protecting Country Madame is elegant and refined, understanding the subtleties of life. Look at her, she just broke up with Chun Yu Shan Shan, and now she's doting on another one. This one hasn't even entered the door yet."

  "I was wrong, look at that little beauty hiding"

  "Behind her, just looking at it, you can tell that the Lady Protector has captured another small beauty's heart."

  "That's impressive."

  Suddenly, Han Si's sword sliced towards one side, and immediately, the clothes of a man a zhang away "ripped" apart: "Say one more word, die!"

  At once, the men who had just come out to watch the performance immediately retreated back into their own private rooms. After taking a look at this situation, they immediately shouted: "Start the music! What are you still hesitating about?"

  The music started immediately, and a row of beautiful dancers rushed onto the stage.

  "What's the meaning of this, Miss Cold?" I laughed. Don't try to scare me with your kung fu, since being scared by Feng Xueyin, I'm not afraid anymore!

  "Han Si's eyes flashed with anger as he thought of the cold gaze: 'Since you've taken in Hou Xuan, you should treat him well. He is the young master of the Wu Lin Alliance, how can you toy with him like this?'"

  Playing tricks? Fooling around!

  "Go on, go on." The flower had pushed us into the room, and Hou Xian grasped my sleeve: "What to do? I still can't beat her."

  "Let me go!" I pulled back my sleeve, glared at him and smiled at Han Siyi, "Miss Han, our first meeting, let's leave a good impression on each other."

  "Hmph! You're a scoundrel among women, Xuan. Follow me! She won't bring you happiness." Hansi Yi said with unusual severity.

  The person behind me started pulling my sleeve again, which made me very angry. I immediately turned around and said: "Don't hide behind me like a child and ask me to solve these things for you. You should stand in front of me, stand in front of Hansi Yiyi, and loudly tell her: 'I don't like you!'"

  "It's not good." Hou Xuan furrowed his brow, "My magnificent and unparalleled mother said that we absolutely cannot let girls get hurt."

  "Put your mother aside and go! Speak for yourself! Otherwise, I won't teach you Tai Chi anymore!"

  Hou Xian looked at me with a worried and bitter expression, I glared back, then Hou Xian quickly stood in front of Han Siyi, raised her head high, puffed out her chest, and put her hands on her hips: "Han Siyi, although I'm not strong enough to beat you now, but Madam taught me an invincible martial art, just wait! You want to marry me? You'll have to wait for Madam to divorce me first!"

  What the...! When did I marry him? This kid obviously wants to drag me down, and now he's getting into a fight and wants me to help him out. I get it, this kid doesn't know how to say no, all he knows is to use his fists to beat away the girls who are chasing after him, what a crappy method!

  "Xuan, you're lying! The Princess of the Protectorate never married you!" Han Siyi unexpectedly hit the nail on the head, she seemed to know Hou Xuan very well.

  "No, no, didn't marry? What's this, ma'am said we'd get married tomorrow, ma'am..."

  "Get out! You're married and still want to flirt, aren't you annoying? I finally couldn't take it anymore. If I knew martial arts, I would definitely beat him up. He's not even a man, can't even handle one woman, how is he going to be a playboy and charm the world?"

  Can't be bothered with him, turned around and left.

  "Madam!" Hou Xuan grasped my sleeve again, Han Siyi furrowed her brow: "Xuan! You'd rather follow this loser than follow me!"

  Traitor? You call me traitor again! I'm furious!

  "That's enough! Hansi, you're a palace master after all! I'm also a national protector's wife. Don't you think it's meaningful to fight over a man who only knows how to practice martial arts and doesn't understand love? What's the point of forcing him to marry you? Is it interesting to face someone who is always either riding horses or practicing sword every day?"

  "At least I think it's meaningless, the contract between him and me has been fulfilled, you can do whatever you want. By the way, you don't know yet, it's not that I took a fancy to his ugly face and brought him into the Guardian Manor, but he promised to do three things for me, so I reluctantly accepted him into the Guardian Manor. Look at him, he's afraid of you to such an extent, what does this mean!"

  Hansiyu's eyes widened in shock, her normally calm face furrowed slightly with a hint of sadness. A thread of guilt floated to the surface of my heart - I had hurt Hansiyu, and I shouldn't have done so. Alas, it was truly a case of "disaster from one's own mouth", all because I was too impulsive.
