Chapter 151 Counterattack
151 Counterattack
At best, they would provoke each other with words. At worst, they would kill the enemy without spilling blood.
Baili Yin looked at Gu Yanfei from afar and revealed his snow-white teeth. His eyes flashed with interest.
Chu Yi stopped his horse and looked in the same direction at the same person.
Gu Yanfei continued walking as if no one was around. Her footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and even the rhythm did not change.
!!
Yu Chaoyun watched as Gu Yanfei flew towards her. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and the smile on her face deepened.
At first glance, she looked gentle, graceful, elegant, and generous, but her eyes flickered with arrogance.
She was just waiting for Gu Yanfei to lean over and pick up the golden collar on the ground for her.
In the next moment, her smile froze on her lips. Gu Yanfei’s right deerskin boot landed heavily on the golden collar on the ground.
Crack.
The faint sound of footsteps was infinitely magnified in Yu Chaoyun’s ears.
There was a pair of pure gold green butterflies on the golden collar. The butterfly’s wings were thin and delicate like flowers. With Gu Yanfei’s step, the butterfly’s wings were instantly stepped off and crushed to dust.
“…” Yu Chaoyun’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her face was pale as she looked at the golden collar that Gu Yanfei had stepped on.
This golden collar was the signature item of this season. It was a meeting gift from her aunt, the British Duchess, after she came to the capital this time.
At this moment, her face was like this unique golden collar that was stepped on by Gu Yanfei, and something in her heart seemed to have shattered.
Yu Chaoyun could no longer maintain her usual elegant and gentle bearing.
The surroundings were even quieter. Anyone could tell that this was Gu Yanfei’s simple and crude counterattack.
Everyone was silent.
Whether it was the noble ladies opposite her or Lu Qin, they did not expect Gu Yanfei to dare to defy Yu Chaoyun so openly and fearlessly.
Gu Yanfei stopped for a moment and tilted her face slightly. Her beautiful right eyebrow rose as she sighed. “What a roadblock.”
As she spoke, the tip of her right foot twitched, and she crushed the gold collar even more with the toe of her boot.
“You…” Yu Chaoyun’s face turned slightly green, and her slender body trembled slightly.
Without needing her master to instruct her, a burly servant quickly took two steps forward and reprimanded Gu Yanfei angrily, “Miss Gu, what are you doing?!”
“Get lost,” Gu Yanfei spat out coldly.
In an instant, she released a stern aura, like an unsheathed sword. Cold air filled the air.
It was as if she was saying that a good dog would not block the way.
The servant couldn’t help but shiver. Overwhelmed by her intimidating aura, she cowered away.
“Let’s go.” When facing Wei Jiaoniang, a faint smile appeared on Gu Yanfei’s exquisite face. She was happy and relaxed, like a carefree breeze.
Gu Yanfei held Wei Jiaoniang’s hand and continued walking. Her footsteps were valiant and elegant, and she did not even look at Yu Chaoyun, as if she did not exist.
A ruby fell from the trampled golden collar on the grass. The gem rolled a few times, as if mocking something.
The other girls from the aristocratic families were all stunned, and a thought lingered in their minds.
Where did this wild girl come from!
How dare she!!
Yanfei had done too well! Behind her, Lu Qin and the others gathered together happily to whisper and laugh. They also followed Gu Yanfei, and Wei Jiaoniang even linked arms with her affectionately.
As for the girls from the aristocratic families, no one could be bothered to give them another look.
Not far away, Baili Yin, who was riding his horse under a gloomy tree, still did not leave. Occasionally, a few broken leaves would be blown off by the wind and fall on his face, shoulders, and hair.
Baili Yin seemed to be oblivious as he stared at Gu Yanfei with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with amazement.
He had never seen a woman like her. She was as fierce as fire, as thorny as a rose, and as dazzling as the sun.
She was completely different from the gentle and beautiful Jiangnan women he had seen in the State of Yue.
He couldn’t help but want to get closer and wonder how such a carefree beauty was born.
Baili Yin’s heart burned. He casually patted the horse’s butt and called out to the black horse, “Whirlwind”, wanting to go to Gu Yanfei.
The black horse snorted, but before it could move, the white horse beside him galloped out, its snow-white tail swinging ostentatiously, brushing the back of his hand.
Baili Yin was slightly stunned.
He forgot to move forward for a moment and watched as Chu Yi rode his horse to Gu Yanfei’s side and dismounted.
“Be careful.” Chu Yi chuckled and extended his right hand to Gu Yanfei. His slender fingers made an inviting gesture.
His casual movements were elegant and noble, pleasing to the eye.
The mountain breeze blew, causing his clothes to flutter and his hair to flutter. A winter sun hung in the sky, scattering warm sunlight and broken gold. It gently enveloped him, like green bamboo in the wind.
Gu Yanfei, who was talking to Wei Jiaoniang, paused. The corner of her eye swept across a dead branch blocking the way half a foot ahead.
She had been careless. She looked up and met Chu Yi’s eyes, her lips curling into a faint smile.
Chu Yi looked at her with a warm smile that couldn’t stop flowing from his eyes. He moved his hand half an inch closer to her.
Gu Yanfei subconsciously placed her hand on his and gently jumped over the three- to four-foot-long withered branch that was as thick as a bowl.
Gu Yanfei smiled brightly at Chu Yi.
“…” Of course, Baili Yin saw this scene. His eyelids twitched, and the smile on his face became strange.
Countless gazes around them landed on Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi. They were either surprised, stunned, envious, or bitter.
Time seemed to slow down and become frozen once more.
