Chu Yu was stunned, his eyes wide as he watched Yun Jinnian get closer and closer to him.
Though it was just a light peck, Yun Jinnian sat back down, her head lowered in shyness, not daring to look at him.
But Chu Yu felt his heart surge, passion rising high, wishing he could tell the whole world that he, Chu Yu, had won over such a wonderful woman as Yun Jinnian.
Chu Yu laughed foolishly, then slowly got up and headed towards the door, "bump," his head hitting the wardrobe, still smiling stupidly, "You go to bed earlier, no need to enter the palace tomorrow, I’ll talk to aunt about it, suck suck..."
Chu Yu took a few breaths, then wiped his hand across.
His nose was bleeding.
Yet he smiled like an idiot, and when he climbed out of the window, he "thud" fell to the ground.
Then he got up, jumped onto the roof nonchalantly, and sped away.
Yun Jinnian, inside the room, watched, dumbfounded.
She touched her nose, "Did I scare him?"
But thinking of Chu Yu’s foolish appearance, Yun Jinnian was also filled with joy.
She lay down slowly, pulled up a thin blanket to cover herself, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Yu returned to the Prince Rui Residence, where Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi had just sneaked in during the night, intending to attack Chu Yu at Kangsong Academy, only to find no trace of Chu Yu in his room, leaving them both surprised and puzzled, when suddenly, a fierce palm wind attacked them.
The two were shocked and pale.
In just over a year’s time, their uncle, the young prince’s martial arts had become even more formidable.
They were not his match before, and now even less so.
Soon, cries of pain and pleas for mercy came from Kangsong Academy. Chu Yu was in a good mood and did not hit their faces; he only struck their bodies – painful enough yet not causing internal injuries, with precision in his control.
After the ordeal, Chu Yu was tired.
Sitting at the table, sipping tea, Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi rubbed their bodies, "Uncle prince, you’re really vicious!"
"Huh!" Chu Yu sneered coldly.
If he weren’t ruthless, they wouldn’t show him mercy given the chance.
It’s better to be the one striking hard than to be beaten.
Chu Zhaowei hastened to laugh and say, "Uncle prince, did you bring back something nice from your trip?"
"Yes, uncle prince, can you share some with us?" added Chu Renzhi eagerly.
Chu Yu looked at them without a word.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Zhaowei said, "Uncle prince, if you give us something, I’ll tell you a piece of news that you will thank me for your whole life – big news!"
Chu Zhaowei said this, feeling smug in his heart.
This was indeed big news; he had gone to great lengths to find out.
"Is that so?" Chu Yu was skeptical.
Chu Zhaowei hastily said, "Really, really, trust me this time, uncle prince!"
Chu Yu pondered for a moment, "Speak then. If the news is truly valuable, I’ll reward each of you with two Supreme Detoxification Pills, made from Blood Lotus, Thousand-Year Ginseng, and Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum. Just one can save a life from the brink, as long as there’s a breath left to save!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhaowei and Chu Renzhi’s eyes lit up, "Really?"
"What, you don’t believe me?" Chu Yu asked back.
"Dare not, dare not!"
The two of them dared not provoke the tiger, and Chu Zhaowei hurriedly said, "Uncle prince, you fancy the Yun Family’s fourth young miss, right? I’ll tell you, someone else has the same idea as you!"
"Who?" Chu Yu asked in a deep voice.
His voice turned colder.
He knew Yun Jinnian was a catch and that many would fancy her, but he didn’t expect someone to move so soon.
He thought it would be years before Yun Jinnian became Princess Rui, frustrating those interested in her.
"Dai Hanbo, the third young master of the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence!"
