The General's Daughter Doesn't Want to Get Married!-Chapter 195: Bumbling Doll

The senior among them, Feng Shao grumbled as he asked, "What are you guys so excited about?"

Normally, at times like this, these guys wouldn’t even budge over a joke. Showing themselves to be elegant and graceful.

Who knew that inside the walls, they are all just a bunch of cheeky children lashing out in smallest disputes?

"Hey! Don’t you know the news?!" One of the guys the same age as Feng Shao circled his arm over his neck, bringing him closer as he gossiped, "This year, many bigshots within the Royal capital and Martial Clans are participating in the tournament."

"Not to mention the Nine Halls and the Yun’s are participating altogether. Guess it would be a battle between big fishes, small fries like us wouldn’t be able to even hold a stick to them." Ren Jie shrank back on his chair as he looked disappointed.

"It doesn’t really matter, does it? More than that, I really want to see the mysterious Nine Hall palace master!" Chu Qian, the belle of the group, clasped her hands as she looked up with dreamy eyes.

"Rumor has it that his aura is impeccable! And that he looks like a deity descended from the heavens!" Another girl beside her exclaimed, seemingly excited about the topic.

"I can’t wait to see him!" Chu Qian’s friend, Ji Anshi clapped her hands with Chu Qian as they sequeled like fangirls, making the guys snort in annoyance.

"You girls only know to chase after handsome men..." Fatty Li grumbled, puffing up his lips.

"Then should we drool over a ugly fatty like you? Just admit that you are jealous!" A smile flashed in Chu Qian’s face as she looked at Fatty Li sarcastically.

Feng Shao saw that if it continues, then the argument will soon turn into a fight. So he gave a stern look at them, saying, "Quiet down, at the end of the day, what matters the most is one’s heart."

It was not easy taking care of a bunch of childrens, not to mention he is the only serious and normal man within the entire group.

"Senior brother, I’m so proud to have someone sincere like you by my side!" Fatty Li was grateful, his eyes filled in fake tears.

"Does anyone know about the Yun’s? Who among them is going to stand on their behalf?" Ren Jie tried to change the topic as he saw Feng Shao in trouble.

After all, a friend should help a friend in need.

"Usually, the Youngest son participated for quite five years straight. But this time, rumor has it that he got married and will take over the title of the Family head soon." Feng Shao sighed as he pinched his head, breaking the news.

"I heard he wouldn’t participate this year. Honestly, the headbutting between him and Young Master Zhu was quite a sight to see!" Fatty Li said thoughtfully as he placed his hand on his chin.

For five years, Young Master Zhu Zhengting of the Martial Clan and Young Lord of the Yun family, has been fighting tooth and nail over first and second place in this competition.

There were even rumors that they were in a love-hate relationship with each other, which was pretty gay gossip of the year.

That’s why when Yun Shu said she wouldn’t participate this year, many of the gossipers were quite disappointed.

"Then who will be the representative for the Yun’s this year?" Fatty Li asked a crucial question, tilting his head as he thought.

"I heard a distant cousin of the Yun’s will stand in on behalf of the Yun’s!" One of the juniors from the other table who was intently listening to them for quite a while yelled, pretty excited to join the conversation.

"It’s just a rumor. Do you know if it’s a guy or a girl?" Curious, Chu Qian asked, tilting her head to the side. But her eyes glimmered, full of hope.

"Honestly, I never saw any Yun girl’s, since their house doesn’t have any girl." Feng Shao shook his head, as if to confirm something.

"I bet she would rival the Goddess of beauty if it were to be a girl, considering the Yun’s brothers." Ji Anshi clapped her hands to attract the attention of the whole group, raising an eyebrow with a smug smile on her face.

"Honestly, all of them are sooo good looking!" Chu Qian sequeled again, shutting her eyes in excitement.

"It’s a shame they don’t want to get married though..." Ji Anshi puffed her cheeks, crossing her fingers.

Even Chu Qian who was considered to be a remarkable beauty was rejected by the Yun brothers, there is a reason why they are called the heartless ice palace within the young generation.

"Didn’t the Fifth Young Lord get married? I heard his wife is quite a beauty." Ren Jie smirked as he subtly bought up a touching topic, to get a strong reaction out of the girls.

Chu Qian quieted down for a while, as if stumbling over a big stone.

She never thought a guy could reject her, if they did then that means they were not worthy of being called a real man!

However, after being rejected by three of the Yun brothers no less, it was a dark past for three years straight that she went into seclusion in shame.

But her obsession with the Yun’s didn’t fade an ounce. Instead, her determination to crumble them down on her feet only got stronger.

"Hmph! What’s the matter if she is a beauty when she doesn’t have any skills? She is no better than a bumbling doll used for a showcase..." Chu Qian grumbled as she wrinkled the hem of her clothes.

"Since when did you become so rude, Junior sister? Even if you don’t like someone, you still shouldn’t bash them behind their back like this." Chu Qian was taken aback by Feng Shao’s displeased expression.

Even when she smashed the princess of other kingdoms, he never showed such open displeasure. So what’s gotten into him?

He couldn’t stand it because she was a girl of the Yun family?

"I apologize, Senior brother. I’ll reflect on it." Chu Qian drooped down her head, her mind still in shock and full of his cold, icy expression.

’How could my senior brother look at me like that? That murderous intention...’

’It’s all that no life woman’s fault!’

"Besides, we don’t know anything for sure. Maybe they are stronger and powerful than we thought? Because the Yun family doesn’t keep any useless people in their home." Feng Ming sighed as he let go of the subject after he saw Chu Qian bend down.

He knew that he scolded her too harshly, and Chu Qian wouldn’t back down easily. But....

Her rudeness was irritating him, for a reason; a memory that took him seven years ago. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

No matter how much he tried, he wasn’t able to forget her, nor would he ever.

At night,

In the corner of the bustling night market, Bai Yunxian stood quietly as he saw the ordinary people’s lives.

Ever since he came here, nothing out of the ordinary has taken place. After they took away the two spies and interrogated them, they made a raid at the hidden base of the cultists.

But they found the base to be an empty shell, since they were quick witted enough to get the gist of the situation and escaped successfully.

After that, things have been peaceful. Aside from the well they found which was poisoned by those bastards.

In the whole County, aside from the river flowing a hundred kilometers away in the desert, there is only one well that serves clean water eligible to drink.

And those cultists targeted the well in order to create a mass murder scene.

Bai Yunxian’s men found the poison well at the right time and informed him.
