Chapter 43 Jiangcheng 1

"Look! Jiangcheng is just ahead!"

Zhao Sicheng shouted excitedly. It had been two years since he last came to Jiangcheng.

Wen Li was sent to Jiangcheng on several missions, but unfortunately the demon hunters of Xuanling Sect were treated like beasts and had no chance to have any fun.

It seems that Shen Yingsi, Xie Xiao, and Aunt Song are not first-time visitors, but only Wen Mingzhu, this delicate flower, has never left the capital.

Wen Mingzhu exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! There are so many rivers in Jiangcheng!"

"What's the big deal? If you head east, you can see the sea when you reach Jingyu City in Qingzhou."

Wen Mingzhu was very excited: "The sea! I have never seen the sea before."

Wen Li couldn't help but glance at her: "That's all your father Wen Zhi'en's fault. The South China Sea is the Wen family's ancestral home, yet he has never taken you back. I'm afraid even the Wen family's ancestors didn't know that the Wen family had such a silly granddaughter as you."

Upon hearing Wen Li mention Wen Zhi'en, Wen Mingzhu became restless! In her heart, her father was an unparalleled hero, and she would not tolerate anyone slandering him.

"Wen Li, it's one thing for you to bully me, but if you dare to slander my father, I'll fight you to the death today."

"You want to fight me? Don't be ridiculous, I don't compete with tattletales. That's shameless!"

Wen Mingzhu said aggrievedly, "Who are you calling a tattletale! Fourth Brother, look at her!"

"Wen Li! Don't bully Mingzhu, or we'll both beat you up!"

Shen Yingsi remained silent, but Zhao Sicheng, the protector of the flower, naturally couldn't let Wen Mingzhu lose face.

"You two pieces of trash can't possibly be a match for me!"

Seeing that they were about to fight, Xie Xiao once again acted as a peacemaker.

This kind of scene has played out countless times in the past few days. Each time, it ends with Wen Mingzhu and Zhao Sicheng speechless with anger.

There was no other way. Wen Li had lived in the streets and had grown up arguing with people since she was a child. If she were like Wen Mingzhu, unable to hold her head up after being criticized, she would have given up long ago.

She doesn't care about other people's insults, and they don't hurt her. Instead, she retaliates in kind, often leaving people speechless with her insults.

"Stop arguing. To be fair, Miss Wen is indeed a tattletale, but no matter how many people help you, you might not be able to out-argue Miss Wen Li. So let's stop arguing. I've been worried you'll get sick from all this anger these past few days."

Xie Xiao was quite helpless. The oldest of the six, Aunt Song, not only ignored them but also occasionally stirred things up.

The one in the highest position simply pretends not to see it, or occasionally smiles gently and takes sides.

Xie Xiao, who originally claimed to know His Highness best, now truly has no idea what His Highness is thinking.

"Fourth brother, you're just a servant, what right do you have to speak up before you've even said anything!"

"Oh, so you can't hide your temper anymore, young lady. Go ahead and yell at your servants if you want!"

Wen Li continued in a sarcastic tone, "I forgot, the servants of the Wen family are practically begging to lick your feet. Oh dear, our young lady is a precious gem!"

"Wenli!"

Wen Mingzhu was furious! She really couldn't stand her anymore!

"Stop arguing, look! We've arrived at the Zhao family's place," Xie Xiao said.

Jiangcheng is wealthy, and the Zhao family is the most prominent family in the city; it can be said that half of Jiangcheng is surnamed Zhao.

According to Zhao Sicheng's boasting on the road, most of the shops in Jiangcheng belong to his family. Their old house is also the largest house in the entire Jiangcheng.

So when they looked down from the sky above Jiangcheng, they could easily find the legendary Zhao Mansion.

Wen Li and her companions landed in front of the Zhao residence, where hundreds of people from all walks of life were already waiting outside.

The leader immediately knelt down when he saw them coming, and the others behind him also knelt down.

"Zhao Wenbai, Prefect of Qingzhou, pays his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hundreds of people knelt down in unison, and Wen Li, standing next to Shen Yingsi, felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Wow, this is what it feels like to be admired by thousands. Not bad at all.

As Shen Yingsi told everyone to stand up, Wen Li mentally recited, "My beloved subjects, rise."

"Your Highness, it is truly an honor for Jiangcheng and for the Zhao family to have you visit..."

"Alright, Second Uncle, the Crown Prince isn't a petty person. He's very easygoing. You're making him seem distant," Zhao Sicheng said, stepping forward and patting Zhao Wenbai on the shoulder.

Zhao Wenbai glanced hesitantly at Shen Yingsi, and seeing that he did not show any displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid to meet the Emperor, but he still had to be careful when meeting the Crown Prince, since everyone knew that the Crown Prince owned the empire.

Shen Yingsi spoke up: "Sicheng is right, we should just treat it as a regular guest. I'm afraid we'll be bothering your esteemed residence for the next few days."

"Then I won't bother with those polite words."

Hearing Shen Yingsi's words, Zhao Wenbai felt relieved. Only then did he notice the extra woman in the group of young people.

The woman had a scar on her face and didn't look like a good person.

Zhao Sicheng introduced, "This is our savior, and he is coming with us to Moon Half City this time."

"My savior, I must thank this fellow Daoist properly. You must all be exhausted from your journey. I have arranged your lodgings; please come this way."

Zhao Wenbai gestured for them to enter, and Shen Yingsi and his entourage followed him into the Zhao residence.

"This time I want to live next to my fourth brother!"

As Wen Mingzhu spoke, she suddenly pushed Wen Li to the back. Hmph, she wouldn't give Wen Li the chance to seduce her fourth brother.

Wen Li was walking along when she was suddenly bumped into. Oh, Wen Mingzhu! You've messed with me again!

Wen Li stepped forward and pushed Wen Mingzhu to the back.

"I was fine with living anywhere before, but now I'm determined to fight you for Wen Mingzhu!"

"Fourth brother is mine, you're not allowed to take him!"

Seeing this, Wen Mingzhu was not satisfied and pushed Wen Li to the back. Everyone watched as the two of them squeezed one after the other and ran to the front.

"Do you know the way? Come back quickly, you've gone the wrong way!" Xie Xiao called out from behind.

Wen Li and Wen Mingzhu turned their heads at the same time, their eyes meeting with a spark. The next second, the two rushed to Shen Yingsi's side.

"Shen Yingsi, if you don't want to be bothered by this young lady, then live next to me!"

"Fourth brother, I want to live next to you!"

The two of them held hands, one on each side, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Yingsi's face.

Shen Yingsi smiled gently, his eyes indifferent. He forcefully pulled his sleeve off Wen Mingzhu's hand.

"Miss Wen, men and women should not touch each other."

This startled Wen Li, who quickly released her hand. She had almost forgotten that this person's "darkening" level was 85%. See how much better this black-hearted glutinous rice ball looks now?

Whether it was due to excessive force or Wen Mingzhu's disbelief, Wen Mingzhu fell to the ground due to the force.

However, Wen Li felt that there was a bit of an act involved, judging from her heartbroken expression and the way she looked at her and Shen Yingsi as if she had caught them cheating.

"Mingzhu, get up quickly."

Zhao Sicheng tried to help Wen Mingzhu up, feeling sorry for her, but she slapped him away. She remained lying on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiful.

"How could you treat me like this!" Wen Mingzhu couldn't take it anymore. Her fourth brother had never treated her like this before. It was all Wen Li's fault!

Everyone around was staring at Wen Mingzhu lying on the ground. Wen Li felt a little embarrassed for her, but she just wouldn't get up.

"Host, does the female lead have a bit of a histrionic personality disorder?" Si Xiaxia suddenly spoke up.

"Histrogenic personality disorder?"

"It's just that they make a big deal out of nothing."

Wen Li suddenly realized, "So this is the female lead!"

Just as Wen Mingzhu was immersed in her own world of sorrow, Shen Yingsi took the lead and left.

The others looked at this and that, but still decided to follow the Crown Prince.

However, it's a popular saying that the Crown Prince and Miss Wen were childhood sweethearts.

It is said that once the Crown Prince comes of age, the Empress will personally arrange their wedding upon their return to the capital.

But this situation doesn't seem quite right.
