Li Jiuge's coquettish demeanor was extremely adorable. Ji Yunxi couldn't resist going up and pinching her little face.
Hua Siyun's eyes were tinged with a hint of envy. Their relationship was so good, and she felt an indescribable sourness in her heart.
Sighing, Hua Siyun waved to her guard. "Tell Lü Chengming to rein himself in. Doesn't he even know where this is!"
As soon as she spoke, Li Jiuge became curious. She stole a glance at Hua Siyun and whispered to Ji Yunxi, "I didn't expect that a princess like her would actually show consideration for ordinary people."
Li Jiuge's voice wasn't soft, and Hua Siyun heard it clearly. She replied indifferently, "I just can't stand him."
Such duplicity, Ji Yunxi thought. If it weren't for the incident where Hua Siyun had grabbed Feng Xingzhi, she might not have been so prejudiced against her.
The guard took the order and walked towards Lü Chengming. A trace of uneasiness flashed through Ji Yunxi's mind, and she frowned slightly as she watched their movements.
Lü Chengming was still blabbering and humiliating the man. "I'm the legitimate son of the prime minister of the Eastern Jin. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly and don't bother me!"
Hearing this, the people around began to stir. Some were shocked by Lü Chengming's identity. He was actually the son of the prime minister of the Eastern Jin! Some young girls started to have ideas. If they could get in touch with him, they would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
While others thought that as long as one competitor was eliminated, there would be one less person to compete with.
So even though they thought Lü Chengming's words were unpleasant and his actions were disgraceful, no one stepped forward.
The man was so ashamed and angry that he wished he could kill the person in front of him to vent his anger. But he also knew that he was just an ordinary commoner and couldn't afford to provoke the prime minister's son of the Eastern Jin.
Just when everyone thought he would be driven away dejectedly, someone suddenly stepped forward.
"Lord Lü, this is not your Eastern Jin. My princess advises you to be more low - key. Don't disgrace the Eastern Jin."
Hearing this, many people from the Eastern Jin in the crowd felt their faces heat up. This was a disgrace on the stage of the four kingdoms.
Hearing this, Lü Chengming immediately flew into a rage. "Your princess? Who?"
"My princess acts upright and doesn't change her surname. She is Hua Siyun of the Northern Di."
Hearing this, Lü Chengming immediately burst into laughter, full of malice. "I wondered who it was. It turns out to be the princess of the Northern Di. You Northern Di people are just a bunch of women. Do you think you can boss me around?!"
Saying that, he looked around and sneered when he saw where Hua Siyun was. "Not only you, even if your mother came, I wouldn't take her seriously!"
The guard was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly.
After saying that, Lü Chengming still felt unsatisfied. He gathered a surge of spiritual power and directly attacked Hua Siyun's guard.
"Scoundrel!" Hua Siyun was extremely angry and stood on the high platform, ready to strike.
Suddenly, a hand reached out to stop her. Hua Siyun turned her head and saw Ji Yunxi sneer. "I'll deal with him."
The white - clothed woman flew down, and many people turned to look, but they were all attracted by her peerless beauty.
"My goodness, she's so beautiful!"
"Can you feel it? Her spiritual power cultivation is not low!"
Ji Yunxi originally didn't want to cause trouble. But Lü Chengming's words not only humiliated Hua Siyun but also specifically insulted Hua Qi'an, her younger sister from her previous life. So she couldn't just sit back and watch, and she wouldn't show any mercy.
Nianyun was after all a divine sword from ancient times. Once it was unsheathed, it would surely attract a lot of attention.
So the moment Ji Yunxi created a clone, she snatched Feng Xingzhi's sword.
The sword glowed with a faint cold light, and Ji Yunxi's eyes became even colder. "You're so ill - mannered when humiliating others. Let the man go and apologize to the Northern Di princess's guard."
Lü Chengming seemed to hear a joke. He immediately looked around at the people and then burst into laughter.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Ji Yunxi disdained to talk to him more. "If you have the ability, beat me. Or are you just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong? If not, have a match with me. If you lose, apologize sincerely. If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want."
Lü Chengming sized her up and down. Ji Yunxi was so beautiful. If she lost and let him do whatever he wanted, he would surely be in for a treat.
His lecherous look made Ji Yunxi feel nauseous. She raised the sword in her hand. "Are you really that scared?"
The goading tactic always worked on someone. As soon as her voice fell, Lü Chengming immediately said, "What a joke! Let's fight!"
He thought it would be too embarrassing if he didn't accept a little girl's challenge. So Ji Yunxi just said a few words casually, and he was immediately provoked into accepting.
Anyway, he didn't think she could win.
Hearing that Lü Chengming had accepted, the people around were a little worried.
Some even tried to persuade them. "My lord, miss, harmony brings wealth! Harmony brings wealth!"
"Yes, yes. This is at the mountain gate of Kunlun. Don't really start a fight!"
"Lord Lü, be magnanimous. Just let it go."
They didn't step forward to stop the evil deeds, but they tried their best to stop others' kind - hearted actions. Ji Yunxi said softly, "Helping the evildoers. If everyone in the world is like this, even if there were ten thousand Kunlun Mountains, they would be obscured by floating clouds."
Those people blushed, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
"You're such an ungrateful girl! We were just trying to persuade you nicely, and you actually said such things?"
"Yes, you're really unappreciative."
"What if you win? Lord Lü's status is enough to ruin your future!"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Yunyi.
Her elder brother immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and raised his voice. "Everyone, don't worry. This young lady is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion of the Southern Yan. In terms of noble status... she is also the future princess consort. I wonder who is more noble?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi had an extraordinary identity. Lü Chengming was also stunned for a moment.
But he thought that a young unmarried girl showing up in public might not be well - regarded even with the status of a legitimate daughter, so he didn't take it to heart.
So he asked, "Miss, are you really going to fight?"
"Yes."
"Fine! If you lose, you'll bear the consequences!"
Ji Yunxi looked up. "Then I also ask Lord Lü to keep his word. There are heroes from all over the world here. If you lose but refuse to apologize..."
"If I lose, I'll be a turtle!"
"Good! What a heroic spirit! We've all heard it!" Hua Siyun shouted from afar, feeling delighted.
Ji Yunyi watched the farce and then turned to look at Feng Xingzhi. "Are you really just going to let her go? What if she can't win?"
Feng Xingzhi smiled indulgently. "Xixi won't lose. He's just a good - for - nothing. Let Xixi practice her skills."
Ji Yunyi suddenly felt that he had really spoken out of turn. He knew that he wouldn't hear anything good from these two people, but he still asked. Now he really regretted it.
"You two are so lovey - dovey!"
"Second brother, what are you talking about? This is nothing."
Feng Xingzhi looked at the bold and passionate woman. "Besides, even if Xixi can't win, I'm here."
Ji Yunyi was completely helpless and let out a deep sigh.
