Chapter 132: Uninvited Guests Are Treated As Thieves

“You are delaying the esteemed guest’s journey here, and you call that not causing offense?” Granny Ping glared at Bao Butong.

“Granny, it’s time to leave.” Yu Xian suddenly spoke up, thinking that dragging the argument out further would just waste time.

“Very well, Young Master.” Granny Ping paid no further attention to Murong Fu and the others, instead turning to board the boat and then signaling for it to depart.

“Young Master, that’s our Young Master…” A Bi quickly looked pleadingly toward Yu Xian upon hearing Yu Xian instruct Granny Ping to set sail.

That was her Young Master, and he had deep feelings for her cousin; it wasn’t unreasonable for him to want to see his cousin, so going along shouldn’t be an issue, right?

However, she also knew this boat had come to pick up Yu Xian, and besides Yu Xian, most others on board were Yu Xian’s female dependents. A Bi thought about whether she could discuss it with Yu Xian.

“Miss A Bi, after we arrive at Manduo Manor later, you should return to Canhe Village.” Yu Xian shook his head.

“Young Master, I…” A Bi wanted to explain something, but she didn’t know how to phrase it.

A Zhu tugged at A Bi’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Having Yu Xian instruct A Bi to return upon reaching Manduo Manor meant A Bi wasn’t needed to accompany her anyway. Once she found her sister, or when the one-year period was up, she would return to ask for punishment.

A Bi knew she shouldn’t say too much, so she retreated to the side.

Murong Fu hadn’t expected the boat from Manduo Manor to leave so abruptly.

Moreover, judging by the voice, it was a young man’s voice.

Who was that person? Didn’t Madam Wang despise men the most? How could there be such a young, esteemed guest?

A young man—could he be the suitor Madam Wang had chosen for Wang Yuyan?

How could this be allowed? Wang Yuyan was of great use to him, and this time he needed Wang Yuyan’s help for something important.

If Madam Wang married her off to someone else, he probably wouldn’t even be able to see her face again!

Murong Fu gave Bao Butong and Feng Boe a look, and then the three of them simultaneously activated their Lightness Skill to leap onto the boat.

After the three settled down, the first things to catch their eyes were Yu Xian’s arrogant demeanor and his young, handsome face.

Instantly, his heart sank. With such looks and that age, who wouldn’t believe he was intended for Wang Yuyan?

No wonder he could become Madam Wang’s esteemed guest; with that temperament and those looks, he and Wang Yuyan truly were a match made in heaven.

But how could he allow Wang Yuyan to marry someone else?

Murong Fu’s hand gripping his sword tightened involuntarily. His current cause desperately needed Wang Yuyan’s assistance, and he absolutely could not allow this man to succeed in winning Wang Yuyan’s hand.

“A Zhu, A Bi? What are you two doing here?” Bao Butong finally noticed A Zhu and A Bi standing behind Yu Xian.

When Murong Fu heard Bao Butong’s voice, he shifted his gaze from Yu Xian. It really was A Zhu and A Bi, his two maids! Murong Fu’s heart sank another notch.

This pretty boy had already gotten involved with Wang Yuyan!

A Zhu and A Bi had a good relationship with Wang Yuyan. The fact that they were now following this pretty boy must also be because of Wang Yuyan!

Damn it!

“Come here, quickly!” Before A Zhu or A Bi could speak, Murong Fu coldly barked.

It was the first time A Zhu and A Bi had seen Murong Fu so angry. Usually, their Young Master was gentle, refined, and polite, but now he looked very upset.

A Bi walked over without hesitation, but A Zhu hesitated.

“Do you know that an uninvited guest is treated as a thief? Do you people know what fate awaits a thief in my presence?” Yu Xian held back A Zhu, who was about to step forward, and coldly glared at Murong Fu opposite him.

The boat was full of his female dependents. For Murong Fu to board so brazenly, did he really think so highly of himself?

“Not so, not so! This is the boat of Manduo Manor. Our Young Master is Madam Wang’s nephew, he is family. How can boarding a family member’s boat be considered being a thief?” Bao Butong, seeing Yu Xian’s appearance and A Zhu being blocked by Yu Xian, directly started attacking Yu Xian.

“Insolence!” Li Mochou, upon hearing Bao Butong’s words, shot out an Ice Soul Silver Needle without preamble! Even though she was holding a baby, it didn’t affect her ability to fire needles!

“Be careful!”

Murong Fu never expected that before Yu Xian could reply, the woman holding the infant behind him would suddenly attack! Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately used the sword in his hand to block it for Bao Butong.

“Your Excellency is being completely unreasonable! How could you attack someone!” If he hadn’t reacted quickly, Bao Butong would have already been injured by the hidden weapon.

Murong Fu glared at Yu Xian and his group. Judging by the technique the woman used to fire the hidden weapon, her Martial Arts were definitely not low! At this point, he dared not act rashly.

Before Murong Fu’s words had even finished, Feng Boe saw the opponent attack and immediately drew his saber without caring about anything else, charging forward.

If there’s a fight, why waste time talking nonsense! The other side has already made a move, so what’s the point of arguing about reason? Feng Boe, being a fighting enthusiast, was content as long as there was a fight; he could skip eating!

“Fourth Brother Feng, come back!” Murong Fu hadn’t expected Feng Boe to suddenly attack either and couldn’t help but worry, shouting loudly.

But it was too late; Feng Boe had already reached the other side.

Moreover, before he could even fully execute a single move, the man froze stiffly, and the great saber in his hand clattered to the ground. Then, one of his hands clutched his own neck.

“I actually admire you quite a bit—you act immediately rather than wasting time talking nonsense. It’s just a pity that you don’t yet possess the ability to directly fight me,” Yu Xian said with a hint of regret, then watched Feng Boe collapse.

“Fourth Brother!”

“Fourth Brother Feng!”

Murong Fu and Bao Butong were both greatly shocked. They saw Feng Boe’s hand still resting on his neck, and blood was oozing from the gap between his fingers.

Clearly, his throat had been slit!

But how did the opponent strike? What did he use? Neither of them had seen clearly!

“I will avenge my Fourth Brother!” Bao Butong watched his brother die tragically and immediately pulled out his Judge Brushes, attacking Yu Xian.

“Third Brother Bao, come back!” Murong Fu saw Bao Butong charging forward again and couldn’t help but have his eyes split with rage. How could they be so impulsive?

They hadn’t even seen how the opponent attacked, yet they dared to charge!

As expected, Bao Butong met the same end as Feng Boe.

Murong Fu felt his legs trembling, but driven by the pride of Southern Murong, he still gripped his sword tightly!

Watching his two retainers die right in front of him, Murong Fu wanted to flee desperately, but his legs felt rooted to the spot.

A Zhu and A Bi were also astonished that Yu Xian had actually killed both Bao Butong and Feng Boe directly. Looking at Murong Fu, who didn’t dare move at all, the two immediately knelt before Yu Xian: “Young Master, we beg you, please spare our Young Master’s life! He didn’t intentionally offend you!”

Having been by Yu Xian’s side for so long, they deeply understood how terrifying Yu Xian’s Martial Arts were; Murong Fu was absolutely no match for him.
