The girl in Xia Ge’s arms trembled as the tip of Chang Lu’s sword came closer and closer!  The girl reached out a hand to grab the body of the sword, but before she could, Xia Ge suddenly grabbed her wrist!  Instinctively looking to Xia Ge, the girl was astonished by what she saw.

The coldness that exuded from the sword tip abruptly ceased when it touched the white bandage on Xia Ge’s neck.  Although the reckless rage and murderous qi surged even higher!

“Brother Chang no longer intends to honor his word?”

Xia Ge didn’t bother to glance down at the sword at her neck.  Instead, she just kept holding the girl’s wrist with her left hand, face slightly smiling without a trace of fear: “Let me guess what you’re thinking……Brother Chang must be thinking……”

“The Chang family of Luoning has always been close to the Chu family of Chang’an.  On the other hand, the orders given by the Chu family’s second miss are rather difficult.  So what you really need to do is go plead your case to your cousin Chang Lan, Jianfeng’s acting great disciple, to solve your problem, right?

Chang Lu’s pupils contracted, the hand holding the sword shaking a little.

“Let me think some more, ah—–”

Xia Ge laughed innocuously, then purposely leaned her neck towards the tip of Chang Lu’s sword, saying with a clear voice: “Before you find the pretext to invite Chang Lan, who’s quite busy with Jianfeng affairs, to share some wine together……”

“That command of the Chu family’s second miss—-it must be obeyed, mustn’t it?”

The hemp-clad boy was all smiles, yet some kind of shuddering temperament radiating from him made it hard to look at him too closely.

As Xia Ge got closer to the sword tip, Chang Lu almost intuitively withdrew it——Only then, registering his own reaction, did Chang Lu realize that he was truly afraid!

He……was actually afraid of some little bastard whose balls hadn’t even dropped yet!!

Chang Lu’s tone was ferocious: “You, don’t force me!”

“I’m not forcing you.”

Smiling, Xia Ge pressed the trembling girl’s head into her shoulder as her own eyes suddenly burned with an intense violet light.  Staring deeply into Chang Lu’s eyes, Xia Ge enunciated each word sharply, her tone icy and imperious.

“You, on your own, will kneel down.”

“Brother Chang, you will go and kowtow to each Danfeng disciple you’ve bullied, one by one.”

Listening to the ice-cold intonations of the boy holding her, the trembling girl was somewhat confused.  She couldn’t reconcile the steely voice to the smiling-sunshine boy she’d just been observing.

Plop—–clang!

The sound of two knees hitting the ground, the clunk of a long sword meeting the earth.  It almost hurt to hear it.

Still shivering, the girl felt the pressure on her head lighten.   Moving her head a little stiffly, she looked to the young man she’d been afraid of day and night, like a waking nightmare.

That nightmare was now on his knees in the dirt, crawling towards her, his wounded right leg gushing blood, staining his blue and white clothes, the very symbol of him being a Jianfeng disciple, red.  Altogether, a sorry figure.

So very ugly.

For a split second, her mind went blank.

Then……take advantage of the situation, kill him while he’s been brought so low!!

Too much humiliation, too much blood.  All because she was merely an outer Danfeng disciples, those Jianfeng disciples trampled her underfoot!  Pushing her into the mud—-for what reason?!!!

As the setting sun painted the twilight sky blood-red, the girl unexpectedly shoved herself out of Xia Ge’s hold.  Ignoring the sharp pain in her abdomen, she picked up Chang Lu’s sword and stumbled towards him!

Kneeling on the ground, Chang Lu simply shivered, unresisting.  His usual unbridled arrogance had seemingly vanished when his whole being had fixated on those deep violet eyes.

Seeing what was about to happen, Xia Ge made an efficient movement, hitting the girl’s wrist with a back hand.  The girl was already hurt, and despite her high resolve, her grip on the sword wasn’t firm.  Thanks to Xia Ge’s hit, the sword easily dropped to ground with another ‘clang.’  Indignant, the girl turned her head to angrily tell Xia Ge off.  Yet before the girl could speak, there came an abrupt pain to the back of her head and she lost consciousness.

Having knocked the girl senseless, Xia Ge regarded her with exasperation.

Apparently this girl was more pugnacious than she first looked.

But impulsivity was the devil.

Jianfeng’s inner disciples were generally proud sons or daughters of heaven, with status to burn.  So, while it was alright to borrow the second Miss Chu’s influence to teach one a lesson, killing one would create far too much trouble.

“Brother, do not forget my words.”

Right before leaving with the unconscious girl, Xia Ge added with a grin: “One by one, kowtow to every last one of them.”

Chang Lu, still kneeling on the ground, involuntarily shivered at the boy’s words.  Only once he’d sensed that that person had departed, did his instinctive fear somewhat abate.

“I……won’t……let you off.”

Clutching the ‘divine dan’ in his hands, Chang Lu’s face was wracked with both apprehension and malevolence: “I……absolutely, absolutely will not let you get away with this——”

Yet the boy’s name was quickly fading away from Chang Lu’s memory.  Then Chang Lu’s eyes bulged—he’d already forgotten it!

Bow to heaven, bow to the earth, bow to his parents……He, Chang Lu, was a son of the grand Chang family—-why should he kneel down to a bunch of Danfeng garbage?!!!

Why?!!

Expression twisted, hands trembling, Chang Lu desperately tried to maintain even a scrap of memory of the person who’d shamed him.  In the end, all he could scrounge up was one word-‘Xia.’

Summer.

—–Summer!!
