Bai Junjun, with a hint of exasperation, kicked Yuwen Jun in the shin. Let the "Fox" call whatever he likes, it’s none of his business.
Bai Junjun’s protective instincts were evident, and her kick was far from gentle. Yuwen Jun instinctively straightened up to dodge, but still did not let go of her hand.
Bai Junjun, with a look of disgust, twisted her wrist, and the two of them started to tangle.
Bai Junjun’s moves were straightforward, aiming for the vital spots. Under her fierce aggression, Yuwen Jun had no choice but to release her.
To Yuwen Jun’s surprise, Bai Junjun’s martial skills were exceptional. Even though she lacked any Inner Strength, each of her strikes was lethal, and even a master could suffer serious damage if he was careless with her.
Bai Junjun sneered, "I’ve gone through the real human Purgatory while fleeing for my life. The Bai Junjun of the past is dead, and the Bai Junjun of now doesn’t dwell on the past, only cares about the present. After all, when I was in my greatest danger, it wasn’t you who stood by me."
Yuwen Jun was deeply affected by Bai Junjun’s words.
"You don’t have to tell me about your so-called no choice. In this world, everyone has their restraints. You made a choice under pressure, then pay the price for your choice.
There’s no chance for us, nor will there be any outcome. From now on, don’t mention anything about love again, or I won’t hesitate to kill you.
Also, personal grudges should be settled by the person involved. We stand on different grounds, I won’t meddle in your affairs, and you shouldn’t concern yourself with what I do."
Having said that, Bai Junjun walked away quickly.
At this moment, the ship had already left the river surface, floating aimlessly to an unknown place.
Bai Junjun paused for a moment, considering using her Special Ability to leave, but then she thought about how Yuwen Jun was a cunning old "Fox". If he saw her, he might get other ideas.
With no other choice, Bai Junjun had to violently tear off a plank and paddle away.
It was a luxurious cruise liner, but in the end, she had to disgracefully row back on a plank, leaving Bai Junjun speechless.
However, when she returned to the Bai Residence, everyone was still up, waiting for her to come back.
After all, the melodramatic and torturous past romance between Bai Junjun and Yuwen Jun was too well-known. Even Monk Shan Ci from the secluded Fahua Temple and Lady Lin, who had just arrived in the Imperial Capital, had heard about it, let alone Bai Sasa and Ah Dao who were always at the center of gossip.
Bai Sasa was worried that her elder sister might suffer at the hands of Yuwen Jun, while Ah Dao was concerned about his own master.
Back then, Bai Junjun caused her master great emotional harm for Yuwen Jun’s sake. Although their relationship had now progressed, the sudden reappearance of Yuwen Jun at such a critical moment worried Ah Dao about its impact on Bai Junjun. What if Bai Junjun had regrets again?
Ah Dao couldn’t be sure, so he was restless.
As for Bai Lingyu, Xiao Chan, and others, they vaguely knew that Yuwen Jun was the "Fox" boss’s love rival. However, they were quite confident in Bai Junjun; after all, even a fool would know that the boss is much better than Yuwen Jun, and Bai Junjun certainly wouldn’t make the wrong choice.
While everyone was busy with their thoughts, Bai Junjun returned with the moonlight guiding her steps.
Seeing Bai Junjun back, everyone stood up in unison, asking with one voice, "How did it go?"
Bai Junjun glanced at everyone and not seeing that familiar figure, she was taken aback.
Thinking back to her recent ordeal, especially the embarrassing return, she wanted to find the "Fox" to vent.
The group looked at each other, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
In the end, it was Lady Lin, better skilled in the art of conversation, who replied for them, "He went to bed early."
She had faced that crafty rascal Yuwen Jun alone, and the "Fox" was actually at home, sleeping soundly??
