CHAPTER 1796: CHAPTER 1796: ANOTHER CHENGSHUI ROYAL FAMILY MEMBER

"What can you do to me? What a joke!" Zhou Jue’s body twisted in a bizarre manner and then charged towards Bai Ruozhu in a strange way.

Bai Ruozhu was shocked inside and quickly formed seals to use spells for protection, but each spell could only block one attack, and her essence was limited. Especially after becoming pregnant, her condition could not be compared to before.

She remembered that Zhou Jue’s martial arts were very powerful, but not to such a bizarre extent. Moreover, Zhou Jue was better at fighting in water, and now his body was like a fish in water.

This sensation was indescribably strange, only feeling danger.

"Careful!" Gao Zhou shouted lowly and attacked Zhou Jue, his palm technique becoming much more fierce, finally stopping Zhou Jue’s constantly twisting actions.

"How did you..." Zhou Jue stared at Gao Zhou in astonishment, "This is impossible, you, you are... Uncle Xuwang!"

Bai Ruozhu secretly observed the two, suppressing the shock in her heart. Zhou Jue must have used a bizarre technique, but it could be cracked. Gao Zhou, not daring to make light of it, directly broke his technique with full force, exposing his most powerful palm technique.

Uncle Xuwang? She furrowed her brows. To be called Uncle Wang by Zhou Jue must be someone from the Chengshui Royal Family, and the title should be Xuwang.

Gao Zhou didn’t give him a chance to continue speaking, striking fiercely towards him. Zhou Jue also became angry and used that bizarre technique again.

Bai Ruozhu quietly stepped back two steps; this situation was already terrible!

At this time, the sound of hooves was heard, and the fight on both sides finally alerted the patrols of the Golden Guards, and a team of Golden Guards came over.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t recognize the officer leading them, but she recognized the civil official riding nearby, it was Mr. Ji Ji Ziyan, who had taught Xiaosi!

She knew Ji Ziyan had arrived in Beiyu City and seemed to be doing some civil duties. It seemed like he was in charge of records for the Golden Guards. Because she had investigated Zhou Jue and Ji Ziyan’s affairs, it was hard for her to get close to Ji Ziyan, and with Xiaosi going out for training with the Xuan Jizi couple, the Bai Family and Ji Ziyan hadn’t interacted.

Sure enough, Ji Ziyan froze upon seeing Zhou Jue, still sadly oblivious.

"You, who are you? Why do you look so much like Xiuxiu?" Ji Ziyan stammered a bit, Xiuxiu was the nickname of his deceased wife Su Xiu.

Zhou Jue froze too, eyes flashing with pain and guilt. This version of Zhou Jue shocked Bai Ruozhu, seeming like a complete stranger.

That pervert could have such emotions too? Bai Ruozhu looked at Ji Ziyan on the other side, finding it unbelievable.

Gao Zhou squinted his eyes, suddenly his body changed, shooting towards Ji Ziyan, grabbing him off the horse.

"Heard the sixth prince of Chengshui was interested in a man from Danliang; I didn’t expect it to be true. Tell your men to stop, or I’ll kill him!" Zhou Jue clutched Ji Ziyan’s throat.

The Golden Guard patrol commander Kuai Feibai was already stunned; that, that was the Holy Doctor, right? How come he suddenly acted against Ji Record? And what did he say about the sixth prince of Chengshui?

Kuai Feibai was dumbfounded, unsure of what to do, forcing himself to shout, "No fighting allowed in the city, both sides drop your weapons, or the Golden Guards will invite you to sit in jail!"

Sadly, neither side paid him any mind, leaving him somewhat embarrassed. But no matter what, he had done his duty to prevent anyone from reporting back that he stood by watching without doing anything.

"Let me go!" Ji Ziyan’s face was already flushed red, though he had been oblivious, he wasn’t so foolish not to understand something by now.

Bai Ruozhu felt troubled too, hastily saying, "Elder, he knows nothing."

Gao Zhou ignored Bai Ruozhu, staring at Zhou Jue, "Hurry and get lost!"

Zhou Jue gritted his teeth, his phoenix eyes nearly spewing fire, full of hatred, "Xu..."

"Um..." Ji Ziyan’s throat was squeezed tighter, he groaned in pain, and indeed Zhou Jue swallowed back his words "Uncle Xuwang."

"Enough talk, you know I’m not from a reputable faction, and I won’t show any mercy. If you don’t leave, I’ll break his neck." Gao Zhou said coldly.

Bai Ruozhu felt uneasy but was unable to say anything further; she wasn’t ungrateful and knew Gao Zhou was doing everything to save her.

"Just hand him over to me, and I promise I won’t come for Bai Ruozhu again." Zhou Jue said without hesitation, showing Ji Ziyan’s importance to him.

"Master you..." Zhou Jue’s subordinate spoke to stop him, but was met with a sharp glare from him, closing his mouth.

Ji Ziyan looked at Bai Ruozhu, eyes full of pleading, "Lord Bai, help me, I don’t want to go with them."

Bai Ruozhu felt even more unwilling, realizing Ji Ziyan was innocent. But after today’s incident, how could Ji Ziyan continue with the Golden Guards?

If he wasn’t willing, even being taken by Zhou Jue, he might not want to live under such conditions.

What a mess!

Zhou Jue looked at Ji Ziyan painfully, "You come with me first, I’ll explain everything clearly to you."

Ji Ziyan’s face was extremely red, body slightly trembling with anger, "I don’t know you!"

Gao Zhou was already counting down, "I have no patience, three...two...one..."

Zhou Jue gritted his teeth, his body turning bizarre again, but this time it was to escape to the distance. His subordinates quickly retreated as well, Kuai Feibai ordered the Golden Guards to catch them, but only stopped two men in the end.

Gao Zhou released the dazed Ji Ziyan, giving him a once-over, "He’s quite obsessed; you’re afraid you can’t escape it. Take care."

After saying that, he walked towards the distance, Bai Ruozhu hurriedly pursued without getting the chance to console Ji Ziyan.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to hide again?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"Not hiding, wait for Tang Yin to send people after me?" Gao Zhou retorted angrily.

Bai Ruozhu grabbed his sleeve, "Just now it was all my people, I will give orders not to leak anything, and you won’t admit it anyway."

Gao Zhou dared not walk further, afraid of knocking her down. His sharp eyes stared at her and asked, "If I don’t admit it, will you spare me?"

Bai Ruozhu paused, "What’s not sparing? I just want some clarity, do I have to kill you because you’re from the Chengshui Royal Family?"

Gao Zhou’s whole being suddenly deflated, seeming extremely fatigued. After a while, he said in a low voice, "My name is Zhou Zhou; this time it’s my real name."

"Xuwang of Chengshui Country? Did you help the new Chengshui Emperor ascend?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Gao Zhou no longer hid, "It was me, Zhou Jue’s character is too obsessive, someone like him can’t be Emperor, or Chengshui’s people will suffer."
