Free Web NovelChapter 1217: Chapter 31: Joyful Debt (Part 7)_2
His face was gloomy.
He had already been waiting here for him for three days!
He thought he would arrive soon, but who would have thought they’d saunter over so slowly.
Isn’t he a young master from an aristocratic family, so arrogant that he didn’t even take the Prince Ping Mansion seriously?!
How dare he walk on such a hot day?
Is he out of his mind.
When Su Yang knocked down the arrow, he skidded with his foot, kicked a pebble on the ground, and it flew directly towards the Princely Heir of Prince Ping.
Su Yang had trained with hidden weapons for many years and could pluck leaves to shoot as weapons.
If he aimed for the Princely Heir’s forehead, he would never hit his brow.
But after all, he was the Princely Heir. He had come to Nanlin to escape marriage and didn’t want to stir up trouble, let alone take someone’s life.
So his stone flew towards the Princely Heir’s arm, directly knocking him off his horse.
The assassins who were originally going to swarm Su Yang didn’t dare to advance and instead retreated to protect the Princely Heir.
The guards’ hearts were also trembling.
Their Young Master had kicked an iron plate this time.
With such martial arts skills, they were definitely not a match, nor could anyone just randomly be taught such skills.
The guards were clever, with one group covering the Princely Heir’s retreat, and another holding off Su Yang.
It wasn’t easy to detain Su Yang, but Princess Yinchuan was still lying on the ground, so as long as the guards rushed towards her, Su Yang dared not go after them.
Su Yang did not pursue, only saying, "Dare to send people again, and I’ll flatten your Prince Ping Mansion!"
Su Yang walked over to Princess Yinchuan, intending to lift her up, but caught sight of his shoes.
Su Yang, "...."
These shoes were from Daqi, of excellent quality, but they had torn just now while skidding on the ground.
Some small pebbles had gotten in through the tear, making them uncomfortable underfoot.
Su Yang called out to Princess Yinchuan a few times, unable to wake her, so he hoisted her onto the horse and moved forward.
Upon inquiring from someone nearby, he discovered that this was indeed the fiefdom of the Prince Ping Mansion.
Su Yang immediately felt something amiss.
Although his martial arts were decent, Princess Yinchuan barely had any. Being in the fiefdom of the Prince Ping Mansion, they would surely try every possible way to eliminate him.
Su Yang decisively rode back with Princess Yinchuan.
After all, with time on his hands to escape marriage, he could just take a detour.
When Princess Yinchuan awoke, she was a bit confused by the scenery around her.
Hadn’t they just been here yesterday?
She looked at Su Yang and said, "Did you take the wrong route?"
"No," Su Yang replied.
Princess Yinchuan didn’t ask again.
Having not died at the hands of the assassins was already quite lucky.
But it was late at night, and aside from the stars overhead, there was only the bonfire in front of them.
Princess Yinchuan ate two grilled meat buns and half a wild rabbit, then lay down against a stone to sleep.
She had slept so much during the day that she couldn’t fall asleep at night.
She silently watched Su Yang, still curious why his face hadn’t tanned.
Seeing Su Yang asleep, she tiptoed over, staring at his face.
She reached out to touch.
Just as she touched him, Su Yang’s eyes snapped open.
Princess Yinchuan was startled, "You weren’t asleep?!"
Su Yang looked at her, "What do you want to do?"
"I, I just wanted to see why you haven’t tanned," Princess Yinchuan mumbled.
"...."
"When black reaches its extreme, it naturally turns white," Su Yang said.
"Really?" Princess Yinchuan was incredulous.
Su Yang, "...."
So naive?
Su Yang turned his back, leaving Princess Yinchuan to stare at the back of his head.
He thought his disguise had been detected.
Princess Yinchuan, finding it uninteresting, sat on her rock, daydreaming for half the night.
She wanted to go home.
But when she thought about how her father insisted on marrying her off to the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, even going to the extent of spending so much money and grain to get them to agree to the marriage, as if she couldn’t find a suitor and was just being forced onto someone.
Princess Yinchuan felt very resistant.
She decided to stay out longer, to see if her father would regret it!
The next day, the sun’s heat naturally woke her up.
Princess Yinchuan, sweating across her forehead, thought about how she hadn’t bathed the day before and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Seeing Su Yang grilling fish, there must be water nearby, Princess Yinchuan said, "I’m going to take a bath."
"That way," Su Yang pointed casually.
Princess Yinchuan picked up her bundle and walked in the direction Su Yang pointed.
The place was a bit far, but it was very beautiful, with a small waterfall.
Princess Yinchuan looked around, ensuring no one would come over, then loosened her brocade robe and slipped into the water.
She had never taken a cold bath before, but in the wild, she had to make do.
Over time, she got used to it.
The water was crystal clear, with fish visible.
Princess Yinchuan, thinking that Su Yang was always the one catching fish, wondered if she could catch any herself.
After several attempts, she failed to catch any fish but ended up getting her hair wet, so she decided to wash her hair too.
