Chapter 339 Gathering in the Courtyard, Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch
Chen Junxuan saw that the two of them were completely ignoring him and muttering to themselves, with a hint of disdain.
Then I thought about what they had just said about "skinning" someone.
He was instantly enraged and shouted angrily, "Hey! I'm asking you! Where did you take Xiaohe and Shui'er? Hand them over right now!"
Shi Zi patiently asked, "Brother, what is your relationship with Shui'er and the others?"
Chen Junxuan puffed out his chest, a hint of smugness on his face, and arrogantly uttered four words: "Confidante!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zi and Xiao Man both widened their eyes as if they had heard something unbelievable, and looked at each other in bewilderment once again.
Shi Zi lowered his voice and said to Xiao Man incredulously, "When did this happen? We've only been gone for three months, and those two already... have female confidantes?"
Xiaoman was also confused and shook her head in response: "I don't know, I've never heard them mention this before."
However, if they only met in the last few months, shouldn't they be together?
Why would someone come to Illusionary Spirit City alone to look for Shui'er and the others?
Shi Zi turned to look at Chen Junxuan and sized him up.
"Then do you know who we are?"
Chen Junxuan wouldn't listen to any of this, taking it all as a stalling tactic.
He roared, "I don't care who you are! If you don't hand over Xiaohe and Shui'er today, don't leave!"
Before he finished speaking, he lightly touched the ground with the tip of his foot and used his inner strength to strike the stone sitting on the horse's back with his palm.
His palm strike was sharp and fierce, carrying a hint of youthful vigor.
When Shi Zi saw that he had acted so readily, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He then slightly turned his body, gently twisted his wrist, and unleashed a soft punch.
The seemingly light hand touched Chen Junxuan's palm, and it was as if cotton had wrapped around the fist, instantly and silently dissipating Chen Junxuan's fierce force.
"what?"
Chen Junxuan was taken aback, feeling as if his palm strike had hit a ball of cotton, with no leverage whatsoever, and he was secretly alarmed.
He reacted extremely quickly, using the force of the impact to flip over in mid-air and kick out, his toes pointing directly at Shi Zi's chest, his speed even greater.
Shi Zi remained calm and steady, using his left hand to block the force of his foot.
As the two forces collided, Chen Junxuan felt a gentle yet resilient force coming through him, and his feet were firmly held in place, unable to move.
Chen Junxuan was both surprised and suspicious, thinking to himself, "I never expected this seemingly ordinary man to possess such skill."
Before Chen Junxuan could retract his foot, Shi Zi reached out with his right hand, grabbed his ankle, and with a slight effort, flung him away.
"Bang—" Chen Junxuan was caught off guard. His body arced through the air and crashed heavily onto the street, kicking up a cloud of dust.
But he was also a tough guy; as soon as he landed, he sprang up again.
His face was filled with shame and anger, and he was preparing to launch another attack on the stone.
Just then, two voices suddenly came from different directions, almost simultaneously.
"Xuan'er, don't be rude!" It was an old but steady voice, carrying a hint of authority.
"Shizi, Xiaoman, stop!" The voice carried a familiar urgency.
Chen Junxuan froze upon hearing the first sound.
Then he turned his head and looked at them, his face immediately showing a respectful expression.
He called out, "Master!"
Shizi and Xiaoman were also startled when they heard the second voice. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people running towards them a few meters away.
It was Shanzi and Cheng Peng.
The two men quickly dismounted and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Shanzi! Big Blackie!"
An elderly man dressed in patched coarse cloth clothes walked slowly towards Chen Junxuan.
Although he was simply dressed, he possessed an extraordinary air about him; he was none other than Song Jiuxian, Chen Junxuan's master.
Upon seeing his master arrive, Chen Junxuan hurriedly went to greet him.
She asked shyly, "Master, what brings you here?"
Song Jiuxian waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
Then his gaze fell on Shi Zi and the others, and he asked gently, "Little ones, are you the companions of Xiao He and Shui'er?"
Shi Zi, Xiao Man, Li Meng, and Shan Zi and Cheng Peng, who had just run over, all looked at the old man in front of them.
Although his clothes were old, his expression was clear and strong, unlike that of an ordinary person.
Still wary, Shi Zi frowned and asked, "Who exactly are you? How do you know Shui'er and the others?"
Song Jiuxian smiled slightly: "So, you really are those two little girls' companions?"
“You guys…” Shi Zi wanted to ask more questions, but Shan Zi grabbed him.
Shanzi shook his head solemnly at him and said in a deep voice, "Shizi, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Come with me first, and we can talk slowly when we get there! Let's go!"
As soon as Shanzi finished speaking, he and Cheng Peng turned around and ran back the way they came.
Xiaoman and Shizi exchanged a glance, then asked no more questions and followed closely behind with Limeng.
Seeing this, Song Jiuxian grabbed Chen Junxuan beside him and used his lightness skill to follow.
The group of seven moved with incredible speed, quickly leaving the city and heading towards the outskirts.
Their commotion naturally did not escape the eyes of the secret guards within Illusionary Spirit City.
The message was reported up the chain of command and eventually reached the ears of the Spirit King.
King Ling was looking out the window at the distant mountains outside the city. Upon hearing this, he simply said, "Let them be," and then ignored it, as if he had already expected it.
Shanzi led the group on a fast journey, and after about half an hour, they arrived at a secluded courtyard ten miles outside of Huanling City.
The courtyard wasn't large, but it was kept clean and tidy, with morning glories climbing all over the walls, giving it a vibrant feel.
"We've arrived." Shanzi stopped and pushed open the courtyard gate.
When Da Ya and the others in the courtyard saw Shanzi and Cheng Peng return, they were quite puzzled: "Why are you back so early today?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shi Zi and Xiao Man following behind, as well as Li Meng, Song Jiuxian, and Chen Junxuan, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Ignoring everything else, Da Ya rushed forward in a few steps, disregarding the strangers around her, and grabbed Shi Zi and Xiao Man by the ears with precise movements, pulling hard.
"Ouch... Ouch, ouch, ouch! Big Sister, it hurts!"
The two grimaced in pain and immediately begged for mercy.
Daya didn't lessen her grip at all; instead, she twisted it further and said angrily, "How could you possibly know what pain is!"
Why didn't it hurt when you sneaked away?
"Now you think you're all grown up, huh? You think your older sister can't handle you anymore!"
Shi Zi hissed in pain and quickly apologized, "Big Sister, I was wrong! Shi Zi knows he was wrong!"
Please forgive us this time, we promise we won't do it again!
"Oh dear... Sister Da Ya, be gentle, be gentle, my ear is about to fall off!"
Hearing this, Daya's anger intensified, and she tightened her grip: "You dare to do it again!"
