Chapter 1894: I Treated You As a Little Brother, But You Want Me to Call You Dad?

The messy environment immediately fell silent. Those present were stupefied by the scene before them. The grand and important King Jin had actually been killed by Zu An before their very eyes!

The other soldiers from King Jin Manor were horrified. They were in charge of King Jin’s safety. Now that King Jin had been killed, they wouldn’t be able to escape punishment. However, they didn’t dare to get revenge for King Jin either. After all, King Jin and Elder Chen had just died right before their eyes, and both of them had been slaughtered easily like chickens. What would lesser troops like them be able to do?

No one knew who took the lead, but the soldiers began to flee in alarm. They were scared that they would be silenced if they stayed behind. Zu An didn’t stop them. After all, he wouldn’t go so far as to trouble mere ordinary soldiers. 142.93.60.102

The reason his mood was really bad today was all because he had suddenly become the previous dynasty’s imperial grandson. When he thought about how many of his loved ones had died at the Zhao clan’s hands, and then saw how this King Jin brat was trying to walk over him, he couldn't hold himself back. Now, his head was much clearer.

As they watched King Jin Manor’s soldiers flee for their lives, all those who were watching from a distance seemed to have woken up with a start. They immediately turned tail to run for fear of being killed too. Everything within a mile or so became exceptionally quiet.

Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe walked up to Zu An’s side. They gave King Jin another look of disbelief. His corpse was right there, and he couldn't be any more dead. Both of their faces were pale. They clearly realized the severity of what had happened.

Murong Qinghe couldn't help but say, “Big brother Zu, it was all because you saved me that you made such a huge mistake. In my opinion, we should flee the capital before the court reacts to this. In the future, we’ll just roam the world together. The world is so large that the court might not be able to capture us.”

Chu Youzhao’s eyes lit up as she added, “Sure, yeah! We’ll just go together and adventure chivalrously. We’ll live such a carefree life!” Even though she was the Chu clan’s young master and carried the responsibility of the clan,?compared to her brother-in-law’s safety, it didn’t seem that important anymore.

Zu An was speechless. He eventually said in consolation, “I don’t think this is a severe mistake. You two don’t need to be so nervous. It isn’t as grave as you think."

Murong Qinghe and Chu Youzhao widened their eyes.

You even killed King Jin in full view of so many people, and yet you still don’t think that it’s serious?

“Still, you’re right in the sense that we can't stay here any longer,” Zu An said. After thinking about it, he told the two, “I’ll bring the two of you elsewhere.”

Then, he ordered all of the manor’s people to just tell the court's people the truth if anyone came to investigate. There was no need for them to hide things for his sake. After arranging all that, he took the two young women with him back to Mount Yuquan. Things were definitely going to become chaotic soon, and the academy was the only place no one dared to cause trouble in.

Not long after entering the academy, he just happened to run into Xie Daoyun while she was leaving. She was really happy to see him, saying, “Big brother Zu, I heard that you left right after coming to the academy. I was wondering why you didn’t come to visit me, but you actually came back again!”

When she saw this person, who was usually a classy and elegant eldest daughter, jumping around in high spirits, Chu Youzhao immediately felt guarded.

This woman used to be well acquainted with big sister. Everyone says that a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its own burrow, but she…

“Nope,” Qi Yaoguang replied, not falling for it.

“Then that means you acknowledge my decision. Sir Zu has the qualifications to become the new libationer!” Yin Shi said with a big smile.

“You…!” Qi Yaoguang panicked, as expected.

High-heeled shoes tapped against the limestone, letting out sharp and clear sounds. Just that sound alone could make one’s imagination go crazy. The whole group reflexively glanced toward the source of the sound, and what first met their eyes was a pair of smooth and well-shaped, black silk-covered legs. There almost seemed to be a faint glow that was absolutely captivating surrounding those leggings.

Chu Youzhao was filled with envy. Other people could wear such pretty feminine clothes and black leggings, but she could only secretly play around with such clothes in private.

Murong Qinghe had a tall and slender build, and many people had praised her legs for being beautiful ever since she was little. However, right now, she had to admit that she still lacked a bit of maturity compared to the other woman. This woman was full of a refined, businesslike charm, and right now, there was nothing she could do to compare.

“I actually feel that great disciple is more suitable to become the new libationer,” said the woman, who was none other than Jiang Luofu. Her hair was arranged above her head by a simple wood hairpin, which made her neck seem even longer and more slender. There was a noble and elegant air around her. She actually seemed even more alluring than when Zu An had first met her in Brightmoon City.

“Eighth martial sister’s legs seem to have become longer again!” Yin Shi exclaimed, his eyes widening. “Let this junior brother measure them for you…”

“Hah, eleventh martial brother doesn’t seem to have been beaten up enough yet over the years,” said a distinguished scholar with an impressive bearing, who walked in while stroking his beard. He was dressed in a black and white checkered robe. His sleeves were wide and his robe dragged a bit on the ground. He was the late libationer’s fifth disciple, Hei Baizi!

“That may not be; fifth martial brother is mistaken. How can being stepped on by eighth martial sister’s wonderful feet be considered a beating? That’s clearly a reward!” Yin Shi corrected him with a chuckle.

“Silence!” Jiang Luofu snapped as she took out a little bell and shook it. An invisible ripple spread out, and even though Yin Shi opened his mouth, he discovered that he couldn't utter a sound anymore.

Zu An was a bit surprised. This thing in the gorgeous principal's hands seemed to be a magic treasure!

A sweet fragrance brushed past, and Jiang Luofu instantly appeared in front of him. She looked at him with an ambiguous expression, saying, “I treated you as a little brother, but you want me to call you dad?”

Zu An was sweating buckets as he replied, “What do you mean?”

The others had strange expressions. Even Qi Yaoguang turned around. Jiang Luofu seemed to be teasing this pretty boy!

…

Meanwhile, in the Meng clan’s main residence, when Meng Yi learned of what had happened by the marquis manor, he couldn't help but get up and roar with laughter. “Who would have thought, who would have thought! Everything is going even smoother than we planned. I thought that Zu guy would have a bit of skill, but I didn’t expect him to be a rash and reckless fool!

“Prepare some people to follow me into the palace!”
