CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 72 RELAXATION

Gao Xuan was all too familiar with the dirty tricks of the noble families. When An Hu approached Jiang Xuejun for information, he was simply testing the waters.

It would be great if Jiang Xuejun could talk, but even if she couldn’t, she’d still react in some way.

As for Jiang Xuejun’s Level 7 citizen privileges, they meant nothing in front of an advanced hacker.

One could only say that Jiang Xuejun was still a naive child, unaware of how filthy the methods of noble families could be.

With nothing to do these past few days, it was quite opportune for An Hu to deliver himself, giving Yun Qingshang a chance to move around.

The laws of the Pegasus Star are very focused on protecting personal privacy.

In residences like the standalone villa where Gao Xuan lived, the entire villa residential area was by default privately owned. It was an independent space.

Even law enforcers needed Alliance permission and had to notify the villa owner beforehand to enter legally.

Any unauthorized entry without permission would be considered an intrusion.

Villa owners have unlimited attack permissions.

In other words, if someone made the first move and got killed, they could only accept their fate.

Gao Xuan guessed that An Hu wouldn’t mobilize too many people and certainly wouldn’t come with any experts.

Even Wei Yue had made an appearance, so there was that semblance of respect. An Shirong also cared about appearances. There was no way he would stand up for An Hu’s sake.

Even if an expert did show up, at most, they’d just need to dodge with people first.

Gao Xuan didn’t sense any warnings, so he was certain that their actions posed no threat.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada, while nimble, could only sense changes in fortunes and disasters, not predict them ahead of time.

If the threat was too insignificant, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada wouldn’t react.

Just like last time when An Hu brought people to cause trouble, Gao Xuan only sensed it when they reached downstairs because An Hu’s group posed almost no threat.

Gao Xuan instructed Yun Qingshang to prepare, but he didn’t take it to heart.

He merely changed into a set of light clothing and went to the martial arts room to find a suitable longsword.

Xu Yin was very wealthy, so even the unused Sword Artifacts were top-grade alloy swords worth over a hundred thousand each.

Gao Xuan had been lying in bed for several days, and he took this opportunity to move around a bit.

Wei Zhenzhen had been waiting for Gao Xuan on the bed for a long time, but he never came back. She couldn’t help but come down to find him.

She saw Gao Xuan watching a movie in the living room, and hurriedly went over to hug him, "Brother, why did you come here?"

"I’m just thinking about your health."

"I’m perfectly fine, so what are you worried about?"

Gao Xuan pushed Wei Zhenzhen’s little face away, "There’s something going on tonight, you’d better settle down."

Wei Zhenzhen was puzzled, "What’s happening?"

Being young and naive, she didn’t care about the household matters. She was only interested in how to have fun all day. She didn’t believe that Gao Xuan could have anything important going on.

No matter how important, could it be more important than a roll in the sheets?

Just as Gao Xuan was about to explain, the room’s smart home system chimed in, "There’s a guest visiting."

"The guest is in the contact list, authorized to enter."

Wei Zhenzhen widened her eyes, "Who would come so late?"

When she saw a Thunder Dragon Motorcycle enter the front yard, she suddenly realized, "It’s Sister Jun."

Wei Zhenzhen suddenly felt a mix of emotions as she looked sourly at Gao Xuan, "Did you get together with Sister Jun? She came over so late to see you!"

"What do you think?" Gao Xuan didn’t answer directly.

Wei Zhenzhen huffed, "I knew Sister Jun liked you and was just pretending. Isn’t it just to share a man with me..."

The more Wei Zhenzhen spoke, the more aggrieved she became, "Why do they all want to take you from me? There are so many men out there!"

"Let’s clear this up, I am not yours. Just like you are not mine."

Gao Xuan corrected Wei Zhenzhen’s misunderstanding.

Wei Zhenzhen felt even more wronged, and her lips quivered as though she would cry.

Gao Xuan said somewhat exasperatedly, "Only kids cry and cause a scene to get what they want. If you want to cry, find a quiet place so you don’t disturb others, okay?"

Wei Zhenzhen quickly swallowed her tears, "I won’t cry."

As they were talking, Jiang Xuejun entered the living room.

Wei Zhenzhen hurried up to hug Jiang Xuejun, "Sister Jun, I missed you so much."

Jiang Xuejun sighed and patted Wei Zhenzhen, comforting her in a low voice, "Don’t worry, I didn’t come to steal your man."

Wei Zhenzhen was both surprised and delighted, "Really?"

Then she felt a bit embarrassed and quickly added, "It doesn’t matter, I’m willing to share my brother with Sister Jun. He’s amazing."

Jiang Xuejun gently pushed Wei Zhenzhen away, realizing this child had already gotten corrupted around Gao Xuan in just a couple of days.

She said loudly to Gao Xuan, "If someone comes to trouble you tonight, I’ll help you handle it."

"Spreading the word is bad enough, and now you’re acting as an insider, afraid I won’t die fast enough," Gao Xuan said irritably.

Jiang Xuejun indignantly replied, "You blame everything on me. If no one comes, let’s see what you say."

"If no one comes, I lose."

Gao Xuan didn’t say anything; he had already sensed the presence of the enemies.

"One, two, a total of eleven people."

From almost ten kilometers away, Gao Xuan had already locked onto An Hu’s position, observing him thoroughly.

An Hu, sitting inside a lengthened bulletproof floating luxury car, was completely unaware of this.

An Hu was watching the surveillance footage sent back by a drone. Seeing Jiang Xuejun riding a motorcycle into the villa, he couldn’t help but curse, "Stupid bitch."

Initially, An Hu quite liked Jiang Xuejun. He always thought she was beautiful, vibrant, with a rare courage and toughness for a woman.

But look at what happened; this woman turned out to be so shallow and foolish.

She was utterly defeated under the Gao Xuan Sword, losing face completely. Yet now, she’s rushing to warn Gao Xuan, fearing something would happen to him.

An Hu hated himself tremendously. Why did he stupidly go help Jiang Xuejun out of anger back then?

That pair of dogs were just playing with emotions, and he took it seriously. In the end, he became an obstacle, a pathetic fool.

He, the noble Ninth Young Master of the An Family, recognized as a genius of his generation, with hopes of one day leading the entire An Family.

How dare Jiang Xuejun play with him like this!

The more An Hu thought about it, the more humiliated he felt, almost crushing the hilt of his sword.

An Yong, seeing the angry and ferocious expression on An Hu, whispered, "Ninth Young Master, should we kill everyone inside?"

An Yong was the An Family’s go-to man for dirty work, ruthless and decisive. He didn’t care how many people he killed, as long as it pleased An Hu.

An Hu, though furious, hadn’t lost his reason yet, showing a hesitant expression.

He wanted to kill Jiang Xuejun and Gao Xuan, those filthy lovers. But the Jiang Family in Mingjing City was also a powerful clan, not easy to mess with.

Even if this matter was done flawlessly, the Jiang Family would inevitably know it was him. It would be tough to resolve afterward.

An Yong saw An Hu’s concerns and said ominously, "Ninth Young Master, right now we’re already in a hostile state with the Jiang, Wei, and Xu Families. Killing one of their women is nothing. As long as we’re not caught on the spot, there won’t be any issues."

An Hu hesitated even more, ultimately still a young man, though filled with rage, he found it a bit difficult to kill Jiang Xuejun.

"How could this woman dare to toy with the feelings of the Ninth Young Master? Why spare her if we don’t kill her?"

An Yong liked killing people; his vicious nature inclined towards it. Besides, pushing for An Hu to kill was also his way of drawing closer to him.

Doing bad things together makes it easier to form a bond.

An Yong added, "In the future, Ninth Young Master is to lead the mighty An Family. What’s most feared is having the tenderness and affection of a woman."

Hearing this, An Hu’s desire to kill surged; he gritted his teeth, saying, "Alright, let’s kill everyone inside."

An Yong promptly bowed, saying, "Following Ninth Young Master’s orders."

He further suggested, "We can severely injure Jiang Xuejun and leave her for Ninth Young Master to handle."

An Hu was somewhat reluctant, "There’s no need for that, right?"

An Yong chuckled sinisterly, "This kind of tramp should be trampled upon and ravaged mercilessly. Make her regret, make her suffer, make her wail..."

An Hu’s malicious intent was stoked by An Yong, and he harshly said, "That’s the way it should be."

Yet he turned and worriedly asked, "Are you sure you have enough manpower? Gao Xuan is at least a Sixth-level Swordsman, possibly stronger."

"Rest assured, Ninth Young Master. I am a Seventh-level Swordsman; leave Gao Xuan to me."

An Yong said, "I also brought a friend, Guo Xiao. He is an expert in the Underground Real Sword Duel Arena, a Seventh-level Swordsman with infinite combat experience. His Feihua Sword is extremely sharp.

The others brought electric shock guns, electric grid, anesthetic guns, fully prepared, so don’t worry..."

He was experienced in this line of work, knowing the opponent had some skill, naturally preparing thoroughly.

The group was carrying enough equipment to even withstand a fight with eighth or ninth-level experts.

After An Yong’s introduction, An Hu was reassured.

He said, "I’ll go in with you."

An Yong shook his head, "High sons don’t sit beneath the hall. Combat always has uncontrollable accidents; there’s no need for Ninth Young Master to risk it. Just watch from the back."

An Hu didn’t insist either. He actually still feared Gao Xuan a little. That battle had left a considerable shadow in his heart.

Under An Yong’s command, two vehicles silently surrounded the villa from front and back.

The tops of the vehicles opened, raising a large metal disc.

This was a communication jammer, blocking all communication signals inside and outside the villa to prevent Gao Xuan from calling for help.

With all preparations complete, An Yong and his group donned night vision goggles, advancing towards the villa from both directions.

Jiang Xuejun, seeing shadows swiftly approaching the windows, tensed up.

"They’re really here, quick, call the police."

Jiang Xuejun attempted to report via her smart watch, only to find there was no signal, causing her to panic.

Gao Xuan ignored Jiang Xuejun, saying to Yun Qingshang, "Mind your new clothes; don’t let them get soaked in blood."

"Got it."

Yun Qingshang nodded, her expression calm and serene.

Jiang Xuejun sensed something was off, gripping her Sword Artifact nervously, sweat starting to form in her palms.

But both Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang remained relaxed and composed, as if the intruders were just children playing house, which left Jiang Xuejun confused: "What do they mean?"
