After Chu Li and Ding Xian left, Mu Yunjin returned to the base and looked at the road going up the mountain, then lifted her steps and started walking.
This time, Mu Yunjin is blocked by an invisible barrier.
Thinking of Chu Li going up the mountain earlier, and the mysterious qi, Mu Yunjin now has some understanding. It seems that this mountain is owned by Chu Li.
Now the mountain has been sealed by a mysterious technique, no one else can enter it except him.
Thinking of it, Mu Yunjin glanced at the mountain, and scolded in her heart. Overbearing!
Even the mountain belongs to him!
……….
Mu Yunjin returned to the market. It is now noon, and it was the most bustling time on the street of River Moon City.
Along the way, Mu Yunjin walked along the road stalls, some handmade hairpins and some silk handkerchiefs. The stalls are much more exquisite than those stalls in the b.u.t.terfly Flower city.
This River Moon city looks more close to her liking than b.u.t.terfly Flower city.
"Victory again! Victory again! Major General Qin and Qin Xiaojie took down two more cities today, and will soon return in triumph."
On the street, a person shouted excitedly, hearing it, the crowd cheered loudly.
"Major General Qin and Qin Xiaojie, from the time they went to their first battle, they had won so many victories. They are indeed a blessing to our Xi Yuan country."
"Yes, Qin family is an aristocratic family. I never thought that even Qin Xiaojie, a daughter, would be so valiant, a woman among heroes. A woman comparable to men in terms of ability and bravery."
"That's right, when Major General Qin and Qin Xiaojie comes back, there might be a feast in b.u.t.terfly Flower city. If we could see Qin Xiaojie's beautiful face, it would be enough."
After listening to the praise of the people, Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrow. Since she came here, people often mention this Qin Muyue.
Speaking of her, she was somewhat curious about the woman.
But if this woman comes back, she fears that her peaceful days will be disturbed.
Mu Yunjin thought about it slightly, and then glanced at a family owned stall selling cakes.
After approaching the stall, the owner is a white haired grandma. After seeing Mu Yunjin, she had just exposed a smile, when several big men arrived. One of them took hold of grandma's stall and started scattering the contents. Soon after the cakes are on the ground and they began to step on it.
"You stinky old woman! Your rental fee is three days behind schedule! Do you think I am an old grandpa that is easy to fool?"
After that, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking for money.
"These respected masters, I beg you, I did not have good business in these two days, and did not make much money. Recently my granddaughter is also sick, my remaining money are all to spent to buy medicine for her."
Grandma said, kneeling down to several people, begging.
When Old He heard it, he spat at once.
"Don't tell me that to deceive me! I am telling you, if you can't get ten taels of silver today, I, your father will go to your home and take away your little granddaughter, and consider that as payment for your debts."
"No, no, no, this won't do. My granddaughter is only ten years old."
she said hurriedly as she cried.
Old He chuckled, and out of the corners of his eyes he glimpsed Mu Yunjin standing on the side, suddenly his eyes brightened with some excitement, he laughed while pointing to Mu Yunjin.
"This young woman's face, is not a person from River Moon city, right?"
Mu Yunjin's face us calm and collected, she encircled her arms around her.
"What is it to you?"
"Oh, look at this young woman's temper, it's quite tough."
Old He nefariously smiled.
"Young woman I'm afraid as a new comer you haven't heard my Lord He's distinguished name!"
"In River Moon city, even City Lord Ling will show me a little respect. This young woman should have a clear view of things."
Old He finished speaking and threw a charming glance towards Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin disdained to reply, she picked on her fingernails, and carelessly opened her mouth.
"Why does Ling city's master give face to dogs?"
"This…..."
Old He has just been pleased with himself, but then he immediately reacted. He looked at Mu Yunjin with anger.
"You b.i.t.c.h, dare to scold me as a dog? "
A lot of pa.s.sers by heard that someone clashed with Old He, they stopped their footsteps and stood at the side to watch the play.
For so many years, they have never seen anyone dare to challenge He Ye.
Especially a woman!
The grandma, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed at the sight, and shook her head helplessly, knowing that the girl will perhaps gonna have a big bad luck today.
"Scold you, even if I scold you, What are you going to do?"
Mu Yunjin's eyes are filled with disdain.
"You are but a local hooligan, still daring to claim to be a Lord?"
"You do not spill urine and spit just to illuminate your virtue. Saying that you are a dog, I really feel it is an insult to dogs."
Mu Yunjin's words sparked a surprised gasps from the crowd.
This woman is really not afraid, she even dares to speak sarcastically towards Old He, saying that he was worthless. There will really be a play to watch.
"Stinking b.i.t.c.h, If I, your father does not kill you today, then I, your father does not have a surname He."
When Old He finished, he smoothed up his sleeves and raised his hands to thrash Mu Yunjin.
Before Old He's hand fell, Mu Yunjin took out silver needles and steadily inserted it into Old He's palm and then immediately heard a howl.
"Ouch, my hand..."
Old He turned over his palm and caught a glimpse of the three silver needles in his palm and immediately became angry.
Shouting at the few big men behind him.
"Whoever kills this woman today I, your father will greatly reward."
As soon as they heard that there will be a reward, those people had lights in their eyes and walked towards Mu Yunjin carrying sticks.
Mu Yunjin sees this scene and smirked, and coldly looked at Old He.
"You seem to proclaim yourself as a leading figure in this River Moon City for a long time."
"You know it! If you ask for mercy to me, perhaps if I, your father is in a good mood, looking at your beautiful face. I might take you as my eighth concubine, and then afterwards I, your father will not treat you unfairly."
Old He thought that Mu Yunjin was afraid, and inspite of the pain on his palm he arrogantly looked towards Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin coldly sneered.
"Dog person still deserve to marry a concubine? Oh, I never liked to meddle in other people's affair. But after meeting you today, this other people's business, I will surely fix!"
Then, not waiting for everyone to respond, they saw the Phoenix Tail Whip fly out from Mu Yunjin's wrists like a thunderbolt and wrapped around Old He's neck. Soon after, the Phoenix Tail whip seemed to have a mind of it's own as it drifted to the air with Old He's body, it soared high before smashing on the ground.
"Pffff..."
Old He could not bear it and immediately spat out blood.
On the side, the big guys watching this scene stopped in their tracks, and did not dare to come forward, and looked at each other.
Cheers broke out from the crowd.
"You... you, are you tired of living?"
Old He felt that his body had broken several bones at the very least it is difficult to raise his head, he glared at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin whistled, and raised an eyebrow and looked at Old He. There was a cold smile in her eyes.
"It's you who is tired of living, not me."
"This woman, has an existing hatred that needs to be vented. I had just rewarded you with my whip and I feel that it is not enough!"
When the words fell, Mu Yunjin deviously continued.
"I think that chopping down your limbs and pulling your tongue out, and letting you live like a useless person is more appropriate!"
"You, you...…"
Old He stuttered, a little scared.
"You dare?"
"Let's test it."
Mu Yunjin evoked a smile, then took out the dagger in her sleeve and played with it in her palm.
When Old He saw this, he got scared and crawled a few steps back.
"Young lady, restrain your hand quickly! Old He is powerful in this city, and you have nothing to gain in offending him."
At the side, grandma saw this scene and couldn't help opening her mouth.
Mu Yunjin heard the words and glanced at the grandma.
"Grandma, he just said he wanted to kill me! If I let him go, the one who'll die is me."
When the words fell, Mu Yunjin looked down towards Old He.
"Old He, tell me, will you let me cut off an arm and leg today?"
Old He's eyes flashed a sliver of fear and shook his head.
"Then leave it to be done by this woman!"
As soon as Mu Yunjin's words dropped, she raised the dagger in her hand, then a voice came from behind.
"Stop!"
Mu Yunjin heard it and turned around.
She only saw a sedan chair stop behind her.
"The Lord of the city had come!"
There was a shout from the people.
Hearing that it was the Lord of the city, Mu Yunjin laughed grimly. Then she saw a middle-aged man in the sedan chair, carried by eight people, everyone manifesting an imposing manner.
"City Lord, save me!"
When Old He saw City lord Ling coming, it was like he saw the savior, and let the few big men from the side lift him up from the ground.
City Lord Ling looked at him, and then turned his attention to Mu Yunjin.
"Young lady, you are not from my River Moon City, why are you taking charge of my River Moon City's matter?"
"Oh?"
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrow and pointed to the stalls that had been thrown aside.
"So these are the things that the City Lord allows?"
"Whether I allow it or not, you as an outsider is not allowed to step in."
City Lord Ling opened his mouth in disdain and his line of sight is fixed on Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin heard it and laughed.
"And if I decide to cripple his arms and legs today?"
"You strike a stone with an egg, you overestimate yourself."
City Lord Ling looked down on her, and then waved his hand.
"Take this woman and throw her out of the city."
At the end of the conversation, several guards came up behind her, and they rushed up and surrounded Mu Yunjin.
On the side, the people saw this scene, they sighed one after another, and then dispersed, thinking that today they almost had a savior, but it seems to be in vain again.
Mu Yunjin stood in her original place and disdainfully sneered. Her eyes, cold and arrogant.
"What can I do, it seems that now you even want your life t0 end together!"
Mu Yunjin's words finished, her eyes narrowed, and a killing intent soared. From her sleeves, she waved, and a few silver needles flew out to the direction of the City Lord Ling.
At this time, a guard saw and immediately flew over to block but the few silver needles hasn't even entered the guard's forehead. The guard fell to the ground without a sound.
City Lord Ling saw the scene, he waved his hand to the rest of the people to stop, and leisurely said:
"Someone come, go tell the Yamen people to come, someone murdered in the street, have the Yamen handle this!"
"Yes, City Lord."
Hearing the word Yamen, Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and remembered Chu Li's word earlier not to expose her ident.i.ty here.
However, her behavior should be considered as self defense. Chu Li would not blame her, right?
"Strange, why do I always worry about what he'll say?"
Mu Yunjin inwardly murmured.
"This woman was so brave, are you perhaps now afraid?"
City Lord Ling took in Mu Yunjin's changes in facial expression, and thinks she is afraid, his heart is even more disdained at her.
(I, your father- used to arrogantly address self when in anger or in contempt.)
---------------------------------------
TL: FYI but the dead man walking above that is almost crippled is called He Ye, in the translation it meand Old gentleman He. I used Old He instead of old gentleman He because it's too long to always write the word gentleman besides he is really not a gentleman and I retained the Old. I did not used He Ye because it makes it look like his full name but it is not.
