Chapter 39 - Movement Technique
Chapter 39 - Movement Technique
The woman was stunned by the arrogant words of Bai Rouyun. What did she mean that anything she wanted would be hers even without paying for it?
Looking behind the woman, Bai Rouyun noticed that one of the tag-alongs of this extravagantly dressed woman was Bai Yue’er, her own sister, or cousin. She did not remember exactly what relationship they had.
But seeing that the daughter of the General’s estate was nothing more than a dog to this figure, she was clearly of a certain status within the Richu Empire. However, it was rare for Bai Rouyun to take a fancy to a weapon. Hence, she would never allow for it to be taken away right in front of her.
Especially not when she had the backing of Xue Jingyu.
The woman who had caused problems had an expression which alternated between red and white, she was clearly furious, but she was not sure what to say.
Seeing that the floor manager had not said anything, it seemed that what the woman had said was correct. She could take whatever she wanted without paying for it!
The woman felt as if her face had been slapped, and she had never before felt such an insult, so she refused to back down.
"I am the Emperor’s most favored daughter, how dare you grab something I want?!" she exclaimed after thinking things through. Even if the Thousand Treasure Pavilion had a strong backer, she was sure that they would not rip faces with the royal family for the sake of a sword.
However, she was doomed to be disappointed.
"Actually, you are grabbing something I want," Bai Rouyun stated casually and reached out her hand, snatching the sword from the floor manager’s hands.
She waved it slightly and felt even happier with it. However, her unexpected behavior annoyed the princess to no ends. How dared a measly commoner behave like this?
At that time, before she managed to break out in full out tantrum, a voice suddenly appeared behind her that made her smile smugly and she looked at Bai Rouyun as if she had everything under her control.
"Little Sister, what are you doing here?"
The voice was not foreign to Bai Rouyun either, she instantly recognized it as being the voice of the Crown Prince, and her mood soured.
She had initially forgotten about this guy, but seeing his face just made her annoyed.
The princess, on the other hand, was like having found her life-saving grace, and she rushed to her brother’s side.
The four tag-alongs that the princess had brought all blushed upon seeing the Crown Prince, and starting acting like demure ladies, looking down and speaking softly.
When the crown prince saw Bai Rouyun, he was stunned, but then happiness flashed by his eyes again.
"Miss, we meet again," he said happily as he looked at Bai Rouyun, his words and the eagerness in his voice stunning the princess and her entourage.
"So we do," Bai Rouyun said with a nod of her head. She had wanted to spend some time insulting this princess, but now it seemed that it would be quite tricky. She just wanted to return home with her sword.
"Floor manager, I am taking this sword," she said casually as she turned around and started leaving, but neither the princess nor the prince were willing to let her go just like that.
"Halt!" The one who called out was the princess, but Bai Rouyun continued walking casually until two big guards blocked her way.
Her face turned dark. The two guards were both at the Advanced Sky of the Acquired Realm; they were quite a few ranks above Bai Rouyun.
It was not that Bai Rouyun was unable to deal with them, as she had all her martial arts from her previous life, alongside the support of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, but it would extend quite a lot of energy, and she was not willing to do so.
"A good dog doesn’t block the road," Bai Rouyun said proudly, her eyes flashing with annoyance.
"Brother, this woman took a sword I fancied," the princess cried while tugging on her brother’s sleeves, but the Crown Prince completely ignored her.
He walked to the Bai Rouyun’s side and started talking, "Miss, we have encountered each other three times already; it proves that we have some affinity. Why don’t we introduce ourselves to one another?"
Bai Rouyun glanced at the Crown Prince. He was not telling the two guards to stop blocking the path; in a way, he too was using them to keep her within the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
"Sorry, I have no interest in you," Bai Rouyun answered with a sneer, her appearance clearly showing how annoyed she was with the current situation.
Without waiting for anyone to react, she hurriedly activated her Flowing Feather Step, her movement technique, and bypassed the two guards.
After getting past them, she moved casually, but for that one moment, while she was moving, no one had been able to see how she moved clearly.
"Movement technique!" The Crown prince was the first to exclaim; his words shocking everyone who was observing the scene.
Movement techniques were once upon a time widespread, but as time had passed, they had become rarer and rarer. Those who owned a movement technique would not share them at all.
Only those in the cultivation world had a movement technique, and knowing that she had one, even though her personal strength was low, it was clear that her status was not.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince was even more certain of the fact that he had to get this woman to become his in the future!
