Chapter 57: Assassins!

Translator: Novel_Saga Editor: Novel_Saga

The current Emperor’s most beloved and pampered daughter was Princess Ling Meng, he treats her as though she was a part of him. Just imagine how furious and saddened the Emperor would be if Princess Ling Meng were to be assassinated?

Were these people actually capable of withstanding the anger of His Majesty, the Emperor?

Jun Xie did not have enough time to consider anything else as Princess Ling Meng’s entourage arrived before him. The two waiting ladies in front had expressions of extreme disgust as they saw Jun Mo Xie standing before them motionless. They then walk lightly towards the sedan chair and whispered a few words into it.

The entourage stopped when the person within the sedan chair said a few words. Thereafter, the sedan chair curtains were opened. Through the window, a beautiful face of a young lady in pale yellow palace clothing was revealed. The face showed some impatience that was restrained as she asked: ‘Jun Mo Xie, why are you blocking my way today?’

Blocking your way? Jun Xie was stunned. He then looked around and noticed that he was standing right in the middle of the street. It was absurd for such a big entourage to make a detour for his sake! Then again, this was the princess’s entourage. It was right to say that he was blocking the princess’ way!

Jun Xie only knows of Princess Ling Meng’s existence but had never seen her in person according to Jun Mo Xie’s memories. Today, he could not help but applause after seeing her for the first time. It was no wonder that Jun Mo Xie found the princess unforgettable, She was a beauty from the Heavens, perhaps the most beautiful woman from this generation.

Tender white complexion, arched eyebrows, eyes like the clear surface of autumn waters, an oval-shaped face, flowing black hair, her entire body exuded a holy and noble aura. She seemed to exists beyond the realm of mortals. Fresh and refined to that of a lotus flower, free of imperfections.

“Your Highness, where are you going?” At that time, Jun Xie realised that he was in front of the Imperial Palace. Princess Ling Meng had just left the Imperial Palace only to be embellished by assassins.

What does this suggest? There is something wrong!

After realising the situation, Jun Xie felt an immediate urge to move his legs and run away as far as possible. With the Jun Family’s current state, it would be foolish to interfere with the royal family’s internal strife. However, judging Princess Ling Meng’s protective detail, their ability to keep her alive is insufficient.

It seemed that this incredible beauty was about to die in the hands of assassins. Although Jun Xie found it unfortunate, he was not reluctant. Ultimately, protecting himself and his family was the priority.

“Oh, I am going to find Xiao Yi at the Dugu residence. Third Young Master Jun, please make way for me.” Princess Ling Meng replied with a calm face. Actually, after being duped by Jun Xie into losing the Meteoric Iron, Dugu Xiao Yi became increasingly frustrated as she kept recalling the incident. Feeling wronged, she decided to find her good sister in a rush to lament. Unfortunately, Princess Ling Meng was with the Empress in the sleeping chambers of the palace. Therefore, Dugu Xiao Yi was unable to see her.

When Princess Ling Meng returned, she became worried when she found out that her dear sister came over and left crying. Afraid that something bad had happened, she quickly arranged to leave for the Dugu Residence to find out what had happened. What made her unruly, yet adorable and intelligent little sister sad? Who could have guessed that the culprit was right in front of her: ‘Jun Mo Xie’.

Obviously, Princess Ling Meng was unaware. Or else, she would have this bastard tied up and sent to the Dugu Residence.

Jun Xie was confused. He could not feel any commanding and dominating aura of a noble from her. On the contrary, he felt a peaceful atmosphere. It was unusual for such a gentle atmosphere to exude from a royal princess.

“Understood. Mo Xie shall not disturb Your Highness anymore, please go ahead.” Jun Xie thought that it would be beneficial to move aside and have one less problem. However, he decided to warn her. He gazed profoundly at her and spoke in a deep voice, “Be careful along the way!”

Actually, Jun Xie was puzzled by another greater mystery. For a princess of a kingdom, especially one that is favoured more than others, why is her protective escort so small? Moreover, there was no expert in the detail at all! It had to be at this moment when her level of protection was at its weakest that an assassination attempt was about to take place.

Where on Earth would there be such a coincidence? The more he pondered, the more Jun Xie felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this situation!

A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall, an exceptional assassin would flee far away. Jun Xie was not sympathetic nor cherishes beauty. Not to mention, he would be risking his own life for this. He firmly rejects such a deal. Considering that this woman is disgusted by him. No matter how beautiful she may be, even if she is a celestial beauty so what?

Princess Ling Meng was somewhat surprised as she glanced at Jun Mo Xie. As she recalled whenever Third Young Master Jun saw her, he would stalk and annoy her by calling “older sister, younger sister”. It was rare for him to speak in such an accommodating manner today. However, it could be considered a good thing as his actions allowed both sides to maintain their reputation.

The princess returned to her seat and the curtain was put down, Looking at her now, one would see a beautiful silhouette, a fleeting dreamlike existence.

Within the shadows, someone spoke urgently: “Boss, the Jun Family’s debauchee brat, Jun Mo Xie, appeared suddenly. What should we do now? Do we wait for him to leave or…?”

A masked man concealing himself on the roof with his eyes shimmering with a golden light: “Perfect! Do not miss this opportunity to finish him off as well! We’ll let that old Jun Zhan Tian go mad as well! This is great.’

“Understood!”

Jun Xie moves to a side and murmured to himself: “Even if one is an aromatic stunning beauty, they will still decay after death. Eventually, all that remains is a pile of bones, just another layer of the soil below. Jun Xie ah Jun Xie, do not be soft-hearted, standing out would only bring unwanted attention to yourself. Finally, Jun Xie shook his head and began to leave the dangerous place.

At this moment, several chilling aurae locked onto Jun Xie!

My God! Right now he could not leave even if he wanted to. Jun Xie could feel the killing intent directing at him becoming thicker, how could he have not known that they have already included him as a target?

Could I really provoke everyone that I meet? What an unpredictable disaster! Is this what people considered collateral damage? I am just a passerby!

Thereafter, an order, “raise the sedan chair”. The entourage began to move forward slowly. The bodyguards at the front were extremely courteous as they bowed towards Jun Xie before moving off.

At this moment, Princess Ling Meng pondered upon Jun Xie’s last words: “Be careful along the way!” This sentence was a little nondescript. Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine. Could it be that Jun Mo Xie knew something? Could he be giving me a subtle warning? The chill grew as she thought about it. Suddenly, she gave the order to stop so that she may ask Jun Mo Xie about this.

Then, the sky turned dark instantly, the dark infinite shade of the night enveloped the ground!

Following the oncoming darkness, dozens of masked men in black clothing liken to huge crows descended from the skies. Even before they reached the ground, numerous sharp blades shot straight towards the sedan chair. The blades emitted golden and silver radiance as they whizzed through the air.

Screams could be heard in successions as the black-clothed men descended upon the bodyguards. Several bodyguards reacted by shouting in unison: “Protect the Princess!” All of them stood defensively around the sedan chair with their swords gleaming in the air, The never-ending sounds of clashing swords caused the commoners on the street to scream and run for their lives.

Two other masked men in black descended from the roof and headed straight for Jun Xie. Judging the colour of their bodies’ Xuan Qi, they were both Silver levelled Xuan Qi experts! The current Jun Xie is unable to defeat them especially considering that they were assassins!
