"Next time I find out you have any schemes, no matter your background, don’t blame me for being impolite."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort.

In an instant, Shen Xuan felt a heavy blow to his chest.

A metallic taste welled up in his throat.

But he forcibly swallowed it back, though his face grew even paler.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Prince Xuan, he meant no harm."

Ye Jinghong quickly explained on Shen Xuan’s behalf.

"Enough, I’ll be leaving now."

He then took a step forward, and as he left, he gave Shen Xuan a cold glance before disappearing from their sight.

"You... one day, you’ll end up dying over a woman."

Ye Jinghong frowned, feeling quite helpless.

Clearly knowing Chen Xuan’s identity, that woman was obviously his, yet he dared to look at her like that.

Really... has he been blinded by lust!

"Pfft!"

At this moment, Shen Xuan could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, his complexion improved a lot.

"You...!"

Ye Jinghong was shocked.

Why was he injured? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"It’s nothing!"

Shen Xuan waved it off, "Damn it, he’s even more overbearing and arrogant than me."

Wasn’t it just a glance?

It injured him so severely, if not for the fact that Qin Ying was backing him, he really would want to bring people from the Shen Family to kill him!

"Enough!"

Ye Jinghong chided, "Are you trying to make things even bigger?"

"Let’s head back first!"

"Alright!"

The two returned to the main hall of the Three Judicial Departments.

Shen Xuan then took a bottle of pills from his bosom and swallowed them all at once.

A moment later!

"Hoo—"

He exhaled a long breath, and finally his complexion turned rosy again.

"Hehe, is this your first time at a disadvantage?"

Seeing that he had mostly recovered, Ye Jinghong began to tease.

"Get lost!"

Shen Xuan’s face turned grim.

"Serves you right, I can’t even be bothered to talk about you."

Ye Jinghong said disdainfully.

He, too, liked women, especially beautiful ones, but he never touched those who were already taken, no matter how beautiful.

Any fool knows a beautiful woman always has a powerful man behind her.

That’s common knowledge.

Not like him, who acts recklessly relying on his background and strength.

"Damn it!"

After healing his injuries, thinking about it made Shen Xuan instantly angry.

"I just took one look, didn’t I?"

"Was that really just a look?"

Ye Jinghong smirked, not wanting to burst his bubble.

That gaze, as if wishing to swallow Gu Pengyou whole, would make any man unhappy, especially someone like Chen Xuan.

"I’ve always looked at women like that!"

Even now, he stubbornly defended himself.

In short, he just couldn’t stand it.

"He’s at odds with the Southern King, isn’t he?"

Shen Xuan slowly spoke.

He was someone who could walk sideways in the Imperial City, considered top among the younger generation.

When had he ever endured such humiliation.

Even if Qin Ying was behind him, this would not end like this.

"Don’t act recklessly!"

Ye Jinghong was startled by his words.

Quickly advised, "Even the Southern King doesn’t make a move on him, think carefully, don’t cause trouble for the Shen Family."

"Alright, I know what I’m doing."

He felt very restless.

"Sigh!"

Ye Jinghong sighed, having said all he could, there was nothing else he could do if he had any ideas.

"In a few days, I’ll return to the Imperial City."

Initially, he planned to enjoy himself here.

But after such a mess, although his injuries were almost healed, his spiritual power was greatly depleted, and he needed a few more days, otherwise, he couldn’t stay in this damn Moran City for another second.

"Good!"

Ye Jinghong nodded.

He sincerely hoped he would leave soon.

He was really afraid this foolish guy would do something stupid out of impulsiveness.

Then... the trouble would be immense.

...

Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

"Sorry, had I known, I wouldn’t have gone just now."

Gu Pengyou said apologetically.

After all, that was the Shen Family, a giant in the Imperial City.

"What nonsense are you saying!"

Chen Xuan touched her head, "If someone covets my woman and I don’t speak up, what kind of person would I be?"

What does it matter if it’s the Shen Family?

To put it bluntly, everyone has some connections!

I only injured him, that’s already giving face, otherwise, with my temper, I would have slapped him to death!

How dare he have designs on my woman.

However, despite his words, Gu Pengyou was still a bit worried.

Because the Shen Family was too formidable.

"Alright, don’t think too much, it’s fine."

Chen Xuan reassured her, "Besides, don’t we have our own backing... have you forgotten?"

"Sister Qin!"

Gu Pengyou immediately responded.

It’s been a long time and with her worries, she truly had forgotten for a moment.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Though relying on a woman sounds bad, we’re out of options now, so let’s make do with it!"

Gu Pengyou rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "I also wonder how Sister Qin is doing?"

"We’ll see at the place of buried bones."

Chen Xuan murmured, thinking about her in his heart.

"Alright, enough of this, I’ll pass on the understanding of the folded space to you. You should comprehend it well."

"Understood."

Gu Pengyou was immediately a bit excited.

As a martial artist, she had no resistance to it.

Moreover, she truly wasn’t confident in a high-level Dao Realm.

So she must comprehend the folded space...

...

Three days later.

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his spiritual power had fully recovered.

A smile appeared on his face.

But then thinking of the situation that day, his eyes turned cold.

Having roamed the Imperial City for so many years, he couldn’t stomach this grievance.

"How can I vent this anger?"

He began to plot in his mind.

Fighting... that’s definitely out of the question, he couldn’t win.

Unless he brought people from the Shen Family, but... his father might not agree.
