Chapter 270 - Ji Shan Hot Spring (V)

Chapter 270: Ji Shan Hot Spring (V)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the hard retort from Jiang Pengji, the man who had tried to mediate seemed embarrassed and his face turned red. He didn’t say anything more.

Jiang Pengji turned around and sneered at the two guys who had just suffered from her malice and who were like drowned mice. “Why didn’t you guys predict what you were going to end up with when you almost got me killed in Shangjing earlier today?”

The two drowned mice who were holding enmity against her couldn’t help but shiver when they heard Jiang Pengji’s words. Their minds instantly became clear.

They were so frightened that they stopped struggling.

The audience around them originally detested Jiang Pengji’s rampant behavior. After they heard what she said and compared it with the two guys’ guilty looks, most of people with brains came to the realization and they all pretended as though nothing had happened.

It was obvious that the young, drunk teen had nearly lost his life and the people who were responsible for it were just those two guys. The young teen was just trying to get payback.

The outsiders should have left their noses out of it and let them deal with their own dispute.

“Well, you guys do know to bully the weak and fear the strong, eh?” Jiang Pengji took a mouthful of alcohol. The bottle was almost empty based on the way she had been drinking.

“Weren’t you rather tough in the daytime? How come you are so terrified now? Where are your spines? Where did your pride go? And where the hell did the guts that you had while looking for pleasure by risking my life go? They all got eaten by a dog or what? Piece of sh*t!” Jiang Pengji was not even close to drunk. The fact was, she was quite sober, but she was just there to get them in trouble. It was just a good chance for her to release some pressure.

The fact that it was Shangjin meant that there was no way she was going to take their lives. It was acceptable for her to humiliate the two of them in front of everyone, though.

“Imbeciles achieve their ambitions.” At the moment, the area was deadly quiet. A clear voice spread from another direction but it made the atmosphere tenser.

Jiang Pengji maintained the smile on her face but her eyes turned to the person who spoke. She asked him with a dangerous tone, “Are you saying I am the imbecile for achieving my ambitions?”

The one who spoke was a twentyish young man. His skin was rosy red after having a hot spring bath. He had a jadelike, delicate face and dark eyes. His dark, cloudlike, long hair still had wet steam vaporizing off it and he let his hair down on the side. With the mist, his body seemed flimsy.

“The way you dealt with them wasn’t despicable?” He didn’t show timidness toward Jiang Pengji’s sneer. Instead, he scorned, “According to what you just said, these two guys almost killed you by accident. If that was the case, why don’t you just repay your grudge against them as a man with merit? Look at the way you are treating them. It is purely insulting to take advantage of being drunk. This is what I say is despicable behavior.”

To make it worse, he was saying that Jiang Pengji acted like a real snob.

The viewers in the streaming room all chose to cease using the bullet screen for a bit. They were worried that Jiang Pengji was going to lose it and make the hot spring turn to a bloody pool in the next second.

As a matter of fact, Jiang Pengji didn’t lose it. She had a delightful smile on her face. She even stopped torturing the two guys. “If I’m the imbecile, then what are you? Are you simply a guy who criticizes others without being in their shoes, or you are someone flooded with saintly love?” Jiang Pengji ditched the bottle casually into the hot spring. The splash of the bottle dropping into the water splattered all over the two guys’ faces.

“I’m standing here humiliating them just because I’m still alive. But would you speak for me at all if I wasn’t able to dodge the arrow and perished instead?” Jiang Pengji sneered. “I know you won’t be able to because I’m nobody to you. Once I’m dead, I will be dead for good. And how could a dead person compare with someone alive? So you’d better shut your mouth if you want them alive, or I will slaughter them right here.”

The young man’s face became red. “It is completely chicanery… You are just doing wrongdoings as you wish under your family’s protection.”

“That’s not right. It was them picking on random citizens by taking their lives with the protection of their families. The worst they would get if they killed some citizens would only be some condemnations. No one would uphold the justice for the innocent people anywhere,” Jiang Pengji raised her voice abruptly. “If you want to scold someone, it should be these two pieces of crap instead of me. You don’t have to talk righteously to me. I’m just simply getting my revenge on them.”

“There is no comparison between a gentry clan member and a citizen.”

Jiang Pengji almost couldn’t help but laugh at his ridiculous theory and she refuted him, “Your brain must be soaked with water.”

The young man was shocked and he opened his eyes wide. He wasn’t expecting that Jiang Pengji would swear him with some vulgar words like that. What was the difference from him being sworn at in his face?

“This Langjun said right, Zude. You shouldn’t choose to be blind towards the true story because the citizens and gentry clans have a different social status. This Langjun is reckless, but he is an indeed a man who is full of sentiment––especially because he has a reason to be mad. We should understand him. However, it is a bit outrageous, even for you, to swear at someone so acridly. Zude is a thin-skinned person and he can’t take your words easily.” While both parties were getting fractious, some laughter intervened with a teasing tone.

Jiang Pengji frowned and looked in the direction of the laugh. A middle-aged man with grey hair, but no signs of aging on his face, walked towards them. He seemed energetic and walked with light steps. The young man, who was playing tough a second ago, changed his face as soon as the middle-aged man appeared.

He bowed with his hands clasped in front of him and said to the middle-aged man with great respect, “Master.”

“Are you the son of Liu County Chief?” The middle-aged man walked to Jiang Pengji. It seemed like his eyes could see through everything, which kind of bothered Jiang Pengji. He continued, “From what I heard, you are truly an elite just judging from your looks.”

“Then who are you?” Jiang Pengji didn’t even bother to pretend to be drunk with that guy standing in front of her. She just looked at him like she wanted to see through him.

The “Zude” wasn’t pleased with her rude behavior. His teacher had a great deal of respect by the masses in the world. When had he received any hostile staring like that before? Jiang Pengji didn’t leave a good impression on the young man already, and what she was doing at the moment made him even more upset.

The middle-aged man just grinned at his student and stopped him from what he attempted to do. “I thought you knew. I’m not some big guy. People normally call me Yuanjing.”

Yuanjing? Jiang Pengji twitched her lips. It was her turn to be surprised that she had met the legendary Master Yuanjing under such circumstances.

He looked just like an average, middle-aged man after he had a bath. He was merely a godlike person, just like people described.

Master Yuanjing beamed at her and he seemed rather amused. His smiling eyes arched. “In a place like Shangjing, a falling tile could smash three people in high positions while people at a young age are fearless. You are truly capable of doing anything without fear.”

Jiang Pengji made a clicking sound with her tongue and said to him with a grin, “No, you are wrong. I was wary of their families or these two guys would have ended up spilling their blood presently instead of just drinking some bath water.”

She remembered something after she spoke. “Actually, according to your student, gentry clans are higher than citizens. But you should know there is a hierarchy in the gentry clans. Of course I’m in a higher rank than these two, which means how I treat them will be my call considering that they offended me earlier.”

The young “Zude” was speechless.

Master Yuanjing wasn’t sure whether or not he should approve her theory after he heard her sophistry.
