Chapter 12: Chapter 12

The Su Family was the first family in Huan Yun, but they were not powerful enough to have everyone not gossip about them.

Given the way she sounded, it seemed as if the Su Family was the royal family of Huan Yun.

Since she wanted them to keep their mouths shut, they’d do just the opposite!

With that thought in mind, the crowd dispersed quickly, and the marketplace became quiet all of a sudden.

In a teahouse not too far away, the Sixth Prince, Feng Yunqi, was fanning himself in one of the private rooms.

“Tsk, tsk, how interesting. I haven’t watched such a good show in a long while. Jun Mohuang is such an amazing character, Fourth Bro must really regret backing out of the marriage with her. In that case, I must get to know her.”

“Your Highness, Jun Mohuang is evidently a nobody. The first miss of the Su Family is but the most gifted medicine brewer in all of Huan Yun’s history. Why would the Fourth Prince regret it?”

His subordinate thought that the gifted medicine brewer was an obvious choice over a nobody.

Moreover, the Su Family was a whole family with generations of apothecaries. With the medicines they produced, they were the strongest family in Huan Yun.

Meanwhile, even though the Jun Family was involved in refining metals and other natural resources, they produced few experts in the field, and had not even been able to make it into the top four families. Of course the Fourth Prince would pick the Su Family.

Hence, the subordinate simply couldn’t understand why his master would say that the Fourth Prince would regret his decision.

“This is why you’ll always remain a servant in this lifetime.”

Feng Yunqi continued fanning himself as he laughed dramatically.

He did not believe Jun Mohuang was in the capital the whole day. She had to have left, otherwise Su Zhijing wouldn’t have been in such a predicament.

Su Zhijing was in the fourth level of the realm. Jun Mohuang had to be much stronger than her to be able to leave her in such a terrible state.

For a nobody like her to become so strong in such a short time, she had to have had a miraculous encounter. Feng Yunqi had a feeling that Jun Mohuang would be the ruler of Huan Yun someday.

Medicine production and all sorts of smithing meant nothing in the face of true power.

Hence…

“I am going after Jun Mohuang, my intentions will not sway!”

With a friend like Jun Mohuang, he wouldn’t have to worry about practicing any skill anymore. He could just live a jolly life without pressure.

The Sixth Prince had to be mad to go after a nobody! He was probably the first person in history to be doing something so silly.

With a master that had such frivolous thoughts, the subordinate could not help but worry about his own future.

Jun Mohuang had no idea that she’d just become a target of Feng Yunqi. She continued dragging Jun Moxue along the ground, deliberately hitting her against obstacles like the corner of a building or a protruding cobblestone. After a while, the heavily injured Jun Moxue was completely knocked out.

There were a few rather deep cuts on Jun Moxue’s pretty face and a few bruises here and there. Her parents probably wouldn’t even be able to recognize her in this state.

Jun Mohuang dusted her hands off as she admired her doing.

She’d mentioned going to the Jun Family Head to get justice served, but she didn’t actually mean it.

Jun Yangfeng, who was the Jun Family head and also Jun Mohuang’s grandfather, detested her to the core.

Jun Moxue was the granddaughter of Third Elder Jun. How could that old man possibly punish Jun Moxue for a nobody like her?

The reason Jun Yangfeng detested Jun Mohuang so much could be traced back to her birth.
