CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: TO DIE BENEATH THE PEONY BLOSSOMS

"I definitely can’t go!"

Wei Wushang replied matter-of-factly, "I have to stay here at the manor. Although the Star-picking Tower’s branch in Daxia has been virtually eliminated, and most of the assassins have been taken out, there will surely be some that slipped through the cracks."

"I have to stay at the manor; it’s my duty!"

"Of course, once you go into the mountains, even if the assassins come looking, they probably won’t find you!"

"With an escort team following you, safety should be ensured."

As soon as Wei Wushang said this, the Fourteenth Prince was dumbfounded.

Right!

The assassins from the Star-picking Tower!

Although Daxia has basically cleaned up the assassins from the Star-picking Tower, those in Beili and Great Yin are still active.

The bounty on him has not been canceled!

It’s a top-level cultivation technique!

For those assassins and the people in the martial arts world, the allure of this bounty is much stronger than that of gold and silver.

After all, once you’ve accumulated a certain amount of money, having more doesn’t really matter.

Money, as long as there’s enough to spend, it’s fine.

"Cousin, are you trying to scare me?"

After a moment, the Fourteenth Prince looked at Wei Wushang, thinking he was deliberately trying to frighten him.

"Fourteenth Cousin, if you think so, then perhaps!"

Wei Wushang couldn’t be bothered to argue with the Fourteenth Prince. The more they argued, the more it seemed like he was just bluffing.

"You’re making me nervous!"

The Fourteenth Prince felt even more uncertain seeing Wei Wushang like this.

"Nervous about what?"

Wei Wushang curled his lip, "Didn’t our ancestors always say, ’Under the peony, even as a ghost you’re amorous.’"

"If by chance, your luck is down, and you’re unfortunately found by the assassins from the Star-picking Tower, it would at least make for a memorable story, worthy of the history books!"

"Stop it, don’t scare me!"

"I’m not going hunting!"

Although the Fourteenth Prince wanted to show off in front of Sheng Xueyi, compared to his own life, the beauty could be foregone.

"Why not go?"

Wei Wushang chuckled and sarcastically said, "A Prince, and this is all the courage you have?"

"With such little courage, you still want to win the beauty?"

"Fourteenth Cousin, are you trying to make me laugh?"

"Wei Wushang, I’m angry now!"

"I’m done talking with you; I’m going back to sleep!"

No longer sulking on the ground, the Fourteenth Prince got up quickly, called for Mao Shenggong, and left in a hurry as if a wolf was chasing him.

"Phew..."

Seeing the Fourteenth Prince leave with Mao Shenggong, Wei Wushang let out a long sigh of relief, finally having sent away this tough nut to crack.

Though what Wei Wushang said was true, the truth doesn’t always work.

Luckily, the Fourteenth Prince was rather afraid of death.

As for how long his words would keep the Fourteenth Prince at bay, Wei Wushang had no confidence.

After all, the Fourteenth Prince was spoiled.

Among his many cousins, the Fourteenth Prince was the most prone to causing trouble.

"What sins did I commit in a past life to deserve this mess now in my life?"

Wei Wushang angrily punched the door.

Initially, he was quite sleepy, but now he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

He called for a pot of wine, tapped the ground lightly with his foot, and soared up onto the rooftop.

The crescent moon hung high, stars twinkled; the night was beautiful.

Unfortunately, Wei Wushang’s mood was far from beautiful.

Sometimes, he really wanted to beat up the Fourteenth Prince or just tie him up and send him back to the Capital.

Unfortunately, his mother wouldn’t allow it!
