Returnee in Jianghu - C10
“Young Master Zhuang, why don’t we ask Miss Shi Shi to give everyone a dance and then have her accompany Young Master to admire the moon.” The old procuress had a smile on her face as she stood outside the door. Seeing that it was Lady Shi Shi who was eating with Young Master Zhuang, her tone carried a tone of agreement.
The young masters of the 13 mountains had already viewed Miss Shi Shi as their forbidden daughter, and couldn’t allow anyone to lay their hands on her. Even if he had asked Miss Shi Shi to dance for him, the young master Zhuang wouldn’t have agreed. If not for Miss Shishi’s insistence, the young masters who were waiting in the main hall would have had to wait all night for nothing.
After all, these thirteen mountains were not the only ones with power and influence near the water. However, when they thought about the body of the mysterious person who had been thrown into the water by Luanshui, no one said anything in the recent days.
“I told them to wait, haven’t we finished our dessert yet?” Zhuang Jingming retracted his infatuated gaze from Miss Shi Shi who was sitting opposite him. Then, he turned around with a look of displeasure and looked coldly at the old procuress. His words were filled with displeasure.
The old procuress looked at the displeased expression on Zhuang Jingming’s face and gave a bright smile. Then, she turned to look at the beautiful lady sitting on the other side of the table, “Miss Shishi?”
The old procuress cried out and looked at the girl eagerly. The old procuress knew who those customers were for. If this Miss Shi Shi did not go out to show her respect, she would not be able to explain herself to those customers.
She then looked at Zhuang Jingming, and her face turned into a bitter expression, “I am only a prostitute. Since I have to work hard and carefully survive in this industry, I can only dance for one person or dance for everyone.”
His voice was soft and gentle, giving off an air of appropriate pity. On top of that, there was a hidden sorrow on his face that made Zhuang Jingming’s heart ache.
“Watching the moon with young master Zhuang is a good thing for Shishi. With young master Zhuang looking after her, it will also be a good thing for Shishi.” But Shishi didn’t want others to think that I was just living behind Young Master, living by Young Master Zhuang’s side in this Spring Festival Gala. Cui Er is also going to be married off. Shishi does not ask for much, and only wants to find a dowry for Cui Er to marry off to a good family. ” The woman’s face was covered in an expression that was close to tears, and there was an indescribable bitterness in her expression as she slowly withdrew her gaze from Zhuang Jingming’s body. Then, she gently wiped her eyes, saluted Zhuang Jingming, and walked around Zhuang Jingming and left the room.
Miss Shi Shi’s words were like those of a noble and noble woman. In order to survive, for the sake of her own maids, she had no choice but to cater to her loathsome face.
After hearing Miss Shi Shi’s words, Zhuang Jingming looked at the girl who had just left his side of the house. With a pained expression, he stood up and followed Yin Shi towards the lobby of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the lobby of the Spring Festival Gala, the number one player of the Spring Pavilion had already seen the expression in the eyes of Mr. Turtle from below the stage and knew that Yin Shi Shi was going to dance on stage. Xiao Yan’s face was filled with unwillingness but he still carried a smile on his face. After which, he bowed to the people in the hall and hugged Zither before walking off the stage.
The audience, who had been impatiently waiting for this song by Lady Soo, was long tired of listening to it. Their faces were arched with excitement and they wished that they could stretch their heads to the front of the stage.
“Sigh, they’re out. They’re out.” It was unknown which one of them was closer to the backstage. When he saw the beautiful lady behind the curtain, he immediately shouted excitedly.
With the shout of this person, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.
“Hey, how can you push me? Do you know who my father is? ”
“You clearly stepped on my foot first. Come, tell me who your father is?”
In the gap between the tables in the crowd, there was no lack of small friction. Fortunately, the one who had a father should be rather frightening, to the point that the originally arrogant face was now filled with smiles.
“Having a good father is really awesome.” Jiang Youyu sighed in her heart before quickly looking towards the platform that was half the height of a man.
After the farce, a woman appeared on the platform. Jiang Youyu had no choice but to admit that this woman’s figure was excellent. Just her delicate white hands alone were enough for others to touch and play with her.
“I’ll dance for everyone and let you all wait for a long time.” The woman’s face was covered with a thin veil, making it difficult to see her face behind the veil. Her voice was extremely gentle, making people feel as if they were searching for the source of her voice when it reached their ears.
“Oh!”
“Miss Shi Shi, Miss Shi Shi!”
“To think that there is such a beautiful woman in the world.”
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely heated. There were howls of wolves and gulps of saliva. The howls were mixed together as one.
With his eyes wide open, he looked at the lady on the stage. He did have time to glance at the young man with the sword on his back, only to see that the young man with the sword on his back was looking around the hall without paying any attention to the stage.
“There really is something wrong with this iceberg man’s brain. He doesn’t look at all the beauties on stage. What is he looking at everywhere?” Jiang You Yu lamented in her heart as she turned her head to look at the girl’s graceful dance from the stage.
The dance of Shishi seemed to have a certain charm to it. Her figure was gentle and her hair flowed in the wind. Every movement she made was captivating.
After the song ended, the hall was filled with an unsatisfied expression. There were two or three gallant guests who had their servants call out to them, wanting to let Miss Shi Shi dance for a while. Another young master, who seemed to have some background, spoke up directly, asking for a thousand taels of silver to dance a song with Miss Shishi.
“I’m indebted to Young Master Sun for not giving up. It’s just that Shishi is too tired and can no longer dance for Young Master Sun.” Yin Shi Shi apologetically apologized to Mister Sun for his extravagance. With a trace of exhaustion on her face, she saluted the people in the hall once again before leaving the stage.
“Hey, what, Sun Yunbing, you aren’t giving me, Zhuang Jingming, any face? This is not your Luanzhou, nor is it your Zhuocang County. “If Young Master Sun is tired of staying in Zhuo Cang Country, I don’t mind leaving Young Master Sun as a guest in Lin Shui.” Just as the old procuress was about to pull Miss Shi Shi and get her to apologize to Sun Yunbing, a teasing voice came from the stage.
At some point in time, the young master of Thirteen Mountain had walked up to the platform. With a cold expression and a sinister gaze, he looked at the young master in silk clothing, who was sitting in a private room on the second floor.
The young masters of the thirteen mountains also had a bit of an aura. As they looked at the young master dressed in embroidered clothes on the second floor, their words were faintly threatening. Zhuang Jingming had been staying backstage the entire time. When he heard someone say that he wanted to force Miss Shi Shi, he immediately rushed up the stage.
“What? Is young master Zhuang going to cut the area and make it so that I can stay in Waterfront County?” Sun Yunbing did not look too good. Although his family did indeed have power in Zhuocang County, Luanqing prefecture, no other family dared to threaten him like this. Luanwushui was the biggest wharf in Luanshui and Luanqing, and had over three thousand men under her. No matter what, Luanshui was still the overlord of Luanqing and Luanshui. As the second young master of Luanshui, no one would give him face.
“Hmph, isn’t that what Sun gongzi said too much?” How can I leave Young Master Sun by the water? It depends on whether Young Master Sun wants to leave the water by himself. I actually heard that Luanshui’s Young Master Sun has always been very concerned about this little brother of yours. ” Even though Zhuang Jingming was smiling, he didn’t take back the coldness in his words. Thus, this Young Master Sun’s expression was extremely ugly.
His big brother was always very concerned about him, just as Zhuang Jingming had said. If something really happened to him while he was in the water, then it might just be what his big brother wanted.
Sun Yunbing gave a cold snort. He glanced at his subordinates, then swept a cold glance at Zhuang Jingming before leading his men out of the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhuang Jingming stared coldly at the smiling bawd before he quickly walked over to Yin Shi who was staring at him with a smile, “He’s just a clown. Don’t let him catch your interest.”
Yin Shi Shi nodded and then bowed to everyone in the hall before following Zhuang Jingming down from the stage.
“Tsk tsk, the young master of Thirteen Mountain is truly not simple. However, I can see that this young master has truly taken a fancy to Miss Shi Shi.” Although the power of Luanshui is only located in Zhuang Cang Prefecture, as long as the Luanshui is passed through, how could it not belong to the Luanshui? ” There was no lack of those who understood the powers of the two provinces. As they watched Zhuang Jingming leave with Yin Shi Shi, they couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.
“Sun Yunbing is only the second young master of Luanhua. If Sun Yun City was here today, I’m afraid that Zhuang Jingming wouldn’t dare to say a word.” There was no lack of players who couldn’t understand what Zhuang Jingming was saying. They hid in the crowd and said a few words, while a good friend pulled him to a corner and warned him to be careful.

Jiang Youyu looked at Icemountain Man who was walking out of the Spring Festival Gala with quick steps. She couldn’t help but feel curious in her heart. Did this Icemountain Man enter the Spring Pavilion just to watch Yin Shi’s performance? He couldn’t tell that this iceberg man was Yin Shi Shi’s fan.
He shook his head, indicating that he didn’t understand. Seeing that the man on the ice mountain was about to squeeze out of the crowd, Jiang Youyu quickly followed him out of the Spring Festival Gala.
“Old Gu, Old Gu, where’s he?” Jiang Youyu clutched her waist as she surveyed her surroundings. There was no sign of Old Gu, so she quickly called out to him.
“It’s here, it’s here.” Old Gu popped his head out from the other side of the street, responding to Jiang Youyu. He then pointed towards a quiet river opposite the Spring Festival Gala. Atop the river, there was a small boat leisurely swinging around with a few lanterns.
Jiang You Yu walked a few steps forward and looked at the small boat floating on the surface of the water, reflecting the moonlight. With a regretful expression, he said, “Why didn’t I think of that back then? Otherwise, who knows, maybe that Shuang-er will just follow me. ”
The scene in front of him was truly romantic. Under the moonlight, with the light boat sipping tea, the young master of Thirteen Mountain was truly a master. Jiang Youyu thought to herself as she recalled her past, feeling even more regretful.
“Old Gu, tell me, if I had half a mind of mine back then, perhaps that Shuren would not have gotten the upper hand over me. And that little sister Lin, I actually took her to study how steel is forged. Did you make it? Young Master, my heart is hurting a lot right now. ” Jiang Youyu tugged at Old Gu, her face filled with a pain that the heavens could not tolerate.
“Young master, serious matters are more important.” Old Gu narrowed his eyes. As he listened to Jiang Youyu regret his past, he quickly warned her. After all, his young master was nagging endlessly.
“Right, right, get down to business.” Jiang You Yu seemed to have realized his goal, and quickly ran to the small boat that was about to pull the boat away from the shore.
“Sigh, stop, stop.” Jiang You Yu shouted. He took out the letter and the letter from his bosom, waving them around.
The boatman paused for a moment and looked at River Fish on the shore, then looked at the confused Zhuang Jingming, “What is it?”
Zhuang Jingming still thought that it was sent by the Thirteen Mountain, so he asked the boatsman for help.
“What is it?” The boatsman looked at the river and fish and shouted from afar.
“I have something to give Miss Shishi.” Jiang Youyu hurriedly replied, waving the letter and the jade hairpin in her hands and then shouting at Yin Shi with her back facing him.
“Boat! Boat! Boat!” Zhuang Jingming stared coldly at Jiang Youyu and waved his hands towards the boatsman. Giving something to Miss Shishi in front of him, wasn’t that slapping him, Zhuang Jingming’s, face? However, at this moment, he was drinking tea with Miss Shi Shi. Zhuang Jingming couldn’t help but feel unhappy with Jiang Youyu and told the boatsman to start the boat as soon as possible.
The boatsman naturally did not dare to disobey the Young Master of the Thirteenth Mountain. He glanced at the river that was on the shore and was about to set out on his boat.
“Hey, hey, what does that mean?” Seeing how the boat was slowly leaving shore, Jiang Youyu had an awkward expression on her face. Could it be that they could not understand what he had said? This caused Jiang Youyu to lose a lot of face, “Hey, Miss Shishi, do you remember that day …”
Jiang You Yu could only place his hopes on Miss Shi Shi. After all, according to Jiang You Yu’s thinking, that Zhao Zi Ru was so deep in love with this Miss Shi Shi. That Miss Shi Shi should at least remember that Zhao Zi Ru.
As expected, after Jiang Youyu called out ‘Miss Shi Shi’, Shi Shi turned her head to look at Jiang You Yu, who was standing on the shore. She then covered her face with a cloth, revealing only a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
“Miss Shishi knows him?” Zhuang Jingming asked, but before he could get any response from Yin Shishi, a cold blade was pressed against Zhuang Jingming’s neck. As such, it wasn’t as if the fish on the shore wanted to keep their suspense in the middle of their conversation. Rather, it was because they saw the iceberg man standing on top of the small boat. Then, he stared at the man in the ice mountain in a daze.
“F * ck, f * ck, this …” This iceberg man was … “What do you want?” Jiang Youyu felt that her brain was a little insufficient. What kind of situation was this?
“Who are you?” Zhuang Jingming felt the icy cold blade on his neck and carefully turned his head to look at the white-robed youth. His body stiffened and his face remained calm, but he didn’t dare to act rashly.
On the shore, the two men from the Thirteenth Mountain saw what was happening on the boat from afar. One of them immediately took out a Dysprosium Scream from his chest and shot it into the night sky.
“Chirp!” An extremely sharp buzzing sound resounded above the water.
Soon after, fires began to light up one by one in Water Ripple City. Further outside the city, Zhuang Xianwei, who was just about to fall asleep on the thirteenth mountain, was frowning as he heard the rapid knocks on the door.
“Bring the boat to shore.” The man in white robe with the sword looked at the shifty boatman and didn’t reply to Zhuang Jingming’s question. Instead, he spoke to the boatman in a cold voice.
