Chapter 7 Such Willfulness
The assassin’s skills were very good.
Seeing this, Mengyao was even more excited.
After being confined like a caged bird for quite some time, she now had an opportunity to showcase her skills. Mengyao, without hesitation, stepped forward. After disarming the enemy with her bare hands, she directly attacked.
This abnormal development left the assassins a bit bewildered.
This was not how the script was supposed to go!
Mengyao had just given birth, and her body was certainly damaged, therefore she needed protection, otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought so many people on this journey.
But why did she jump out now? Did she think she had lived too long already?
Or was this a delaying tactic by the Gu family!
To stall for time, waiting for reinforcements?
If that was the case, then they had miscalculated, because Heavenly Dragon Temple was not far from the capital, and even if the capital received the news, by the time they arrived, they would only be able to collect the bodies!
The glory of the Gu family would also end here.
Thinking this, the assassins, looking at Mengyao happily brandishing her weapon, felt even more that they had to quickly end the battle.
One woman dared to be so arrogant, truly too presumptuous.
Hmph.
Let them teach Mengyao a good lesson, so that the next time she reincarnates, she would definitely change her arrogant personality.
However…
What happened next was even more unimaginable for this group of assassins.
“Go, Young Lady.”
“Oh my god, Young Lady is too cool. The flourish of the sword was so breathtaking.”
“If Young Lady were a man, I would definitely marry her!”
“Wuwuwu, so handsome.”
While they were besieging Mengyao, the people from the Gu family all watched from the sidelines. The maids and servants of the Gu Residence were cheering them on, their flushed faces proving their admiration for Mengyao.
In addition, Qing also directed the battle from the side, occasionally offering advice on martial arts.
His proud demeanor made one doubt if the woman fighting was truly his own daughter.
What kind of father is so unsupportive!
Seeing his own daughter being attacked without rescuing her, but instead watching like a spectator, was truly incomprehensible…
As for Mengyao’s husband, he was the most normal among them. With a dark expression, he looked over as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver.
“Mengyao, you have one more minute. If you still can’t deal with these people, I will intervene.”
Perhaps unable to stand it any longer, Yu said with a dark expression, which caused Mengyao, who had been smiling radiantly amidst the assassins’ attack, to immediately lose her smile. She then responded with a dejected “mm,” not daring to disobey her husband’s command.
Her happy time was truly too short.
Finally, there was someone to spar with, to stretch her lazy body, but now it was directly taken away by Yu.
“Listen obediently. When we get back to the residence, I’ll find more skilled martial artists. These people are so trash, it’s not very useful to practice moves with them.”
Seeing the obvious disappointment on Mengyao’s face, Yu sighed helplessly, and his tone was no longer as forceful.
He had long known Mengyao’s personality. Even if he wanted to shield her from all the swordplay, it would probably be in vain.
However, Yu liked to be in control.
Rather than letting Mengyao fight the assassins, it was better to practice with their own people, which could prevent many unexpected events.
Upon hearing Yu’s words, Mengyao’s eyes immediately lit up, knowing that her husband would not stop her anymore.
After giving birth, once Mengyao finished her confinement, she wanted to pick up her sword again… but Yu clearly disagreed, always wanting her to rest more.
But if she rested any longer, she would rust away!
Thinking this, Mengyao knew she couldn’t confront him head-on, but had to find an opportunity to persuade Yu.
She had to succeed in one go.
As a result, she never expected the opportunity to come so quickly and easily.
“Yu, I know you’re the best.”
With a content smile, Mengyao wished she could kiss her husband directly, but with so many onlookers, she decided to eat meat when they returned home.
After abstaining for so many months, she had long wanted to eat meat.
However, to prevent another pregnancy, it would be better to take precautions in advance… she did not want three children in two years.
Upon hearing Mengyao’s words, Yu couldn’t help but shake his head. He had hoped she could hold on for a few more days, but now she was defeated so quickly.
It’s all these assassins’ fault…
If they had come a few days later, Mengyao could have rested for a few more days.
Just as Yu wished he could kill these assassins, Mengyao, no longer hiding her true abilities, stopped toying with these guys and displayed some of her real skills.
And then, there was no more “then.”
Looking at the assassins who had already breathed their last, Mengyao flicked the blood off the tip of her sword, then directly threw the long sword in her hand. The sword body directly sank into a rock, leaving only the hilt sticking out.
This made the people who gathered later at the sound of the commotion tremble. They never expected Mengyao’s skills to be so profound and unfathomable.
Although she had heard of Mengyao’s great name before, seeing was believing. Now, seeing Mengyao fighting against many and not losing ground, they could immediately imagine her prowess on the battlefield.
As for why these people recognized Mengyao, it was because Heavenly Dragon Temple was a place favored by the nobles in the capital, and Qing’s face was also recognizable. A guess could easily reveal that these people were from the Gu Residence.
“I say, son-in-law, you can’t play favorites! You arranged experts for Mengyao to practice with, so find some for me too!”
After witnessing Mengyao killing people, Qing narrowed his eyes with envy, thinking that his old body hadn’t moved for a long time and he also wanted to have a few more exhilarating fights.
Born a general, this was his willfulness.
Unlike scholars who liked to use their pens and spit venom, Qing preferred to wield his fists and let martial arts do the talking.
Like father, like daughter.
Hehe, the ancients indeed did not deceive him!
However, Qing’s words put Yu in a difficult position. He wondered why his father-in-law had come to join the fun!
If possible, Yu did not want his wife to wield knives and swords…
Before Yu could speak, as Qing looked on expectantly, Gongsun Feifei, standing beside him, tugged at Qing’s sleeve. Seeing Qing’s full of doubt expression, Gongsun Feifei subtly pointed to the people around them.
It was better to discuss such matters when they got home!
There were still many onlookers, and now that they had encountered assassins, there would likely be considerable trouble later.
At least, on the way home, someone with no eyes would definitely come looking for trouble.
At that time, he would deal with them all.
There was no way to refuse.
