Chapter 1427 - 1421

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1421

The saying goes, a strong nation brings peace to its people; within the Capital City, scenes of peaceful and prosperous living prevail, with no signs of Ghost Energy. So why is there a surge of Ghost Energy above the Capital City?

Xin Lin couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

She walked along the way without seeing a single Ah Piao.

But it was still only around dusk; it wouldn’t be until after sunset that ghosts would start to appear.

Xin Lin pondered.

"Oh, isn’t this Tu Suxuan? I heard you caused big trouble in Yunshui City. Are you fleeing back to Wangjing to seek refuge?"

As Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan just passed through the city gate, they heard mocking words by their ears.

A person blocked Tu Suxuan’s path.

The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, strong and robust, with True Qi evident all around him, clearly a capable individual.

Tu Suxuan frowned, silently cursing, thinking he should have checked the almanac today before heading back, as he unexpectedly encountered this fellow.

"Liu Chengtian, whether I return to the city or not is none of your business. A good dog doesn’t block the road, so get lost,"

Tu Suxuan said impatiently, signaling for the person to step aside.

However, the person didn’t move an inch.

"Tu Suxuan, how dare you speak to me like that? I greeted you out of kindness, and you dare tell me to get lost? I’d like to see what you can do to me if I don’t leave today."

The man shouted loudly.

"Big brother, what’s going on?"

Xin Lin asked curiously, stepping forward.

Tu Suxuan was about to explain when he heard a whistle from Liu Chengtian ahead of him.

"Tu Suxuan, you’re something else! Went to a mountain nook and brought back a great beauty. Beautiful lady, I’m Liu Chengtian; my father is the Imperial Guard Captain Liu Cheng. May I ask the fair maiden’s name?"

This Liu Chengtian was Tu Suxuan’s arch-enemy.

The seat often decides one’s stance.

There was nothing much between Liu Chengtian and Tu Suxuan, but each of their close allies happened to be Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s nephew, Zhu Zhiyao, and the Crown Prince.

Thus, their relationship became intense like water and fire. Since childhood, they couldn’t see eye to eye, and because both practiced martial arts, they’ve been rivals from young to old, leading to confrontations whenever they met.

Liu Chengtian had heard some time ago that Tu Suxuan went to Yunshui City, and later, a major incident occurred in Yunshui City. The good dog of Tu Su’s House, Tu Suxia, even betrayed them.

Young master Tu Suxuan almost got poisoned to death in Yunshui City, and Tu Su’s House suffered a heavy loss.

This news made Liu Chengtian happy for several days, eagerly waiting for Tu Suxuan to return and be punished.

When he went out today, he unexpectedly encountered Tu Suxuan, naturally not missing this good opportunity to ridicule him.

He was just about to make a move when he saw the silhouette behind Tu Suxuan.

A few days ago, Liu Chengtian had just seen Bai You from the Xuantian Sect and thought she was beautiful, no wonder Zhu Zhiyao and the Fourth Prince held her in high regard.

Yet upon seeing the beauty before him now, Liu Chengtian felt that Bai You was nothing special.

The beauty before him had eyes like a painting, a graceful figure, and most remarkably, wore no adornments and had no makeup, yet was striking at first glance, as if a Heavenly Person.

Xin Lin glanced at Liu Chengtian and then at Tu Suxuan’s darkened expression, instantly understanding.

"Young master, why do you block my big brother’s path?"

Xin Lin blinked, looking curious.

"Big brother? Are you a young lady of Tu Su’s House?"

Liu Chengtian thought for a long moment but couldn’t recall any great beauty lady from Tu Su’s House.

However, Tu Su’s House was vast and prosperous, and Tu Suxuan’s father was rumored to be quite the charmer. Perhaps this great beauty was Tu Suxuan’s father’s illegitimate daughter!
