Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman - Chapter 366 - Just Coming Out Of The Bathroom

When the ominous words disappeared from the screen, the guests’ attention was once again focused on the content playing on the screen.

With effort from Ning Qing and the others, the atmosphere of the banquet hall once again returned to its lively state.

The smile on Shu Chen’s face didn’t change, and she was currently talking to another noble lady. The great elder walked to her side at this time, whispering something in her ear. Shu Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, then she smiled at the woman she had been talking to. “I have to settle some matters, please excuse me.”

Obviously, the woman was not about to stop Madam Jiang from leaving.

Shu Chen turned around, heading in Jiang Shuxuan’s direction.

Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao were with the others at a table that wasn’t too far away from her. Although the banquet hall was big and filled with people, it wasn’t hard to bunch these bunch of people. With just a glance, you could pinpoint their location by the wide berth given to the space around them, as though it was a vacuum zone. Seeing the gap of space nearby, she knew it must be them.

“Mom?” Gu Xiqiao had been talking to Yu Ning, and Jiang Shuxuan was leaning against the table, watching them. He noticed Shu Chen walking towards them, and was surprised.

Shu Chen first looked at Gu Xiqiao, before turning her gaze to Jiang Shuxuan. “Shuxuan, I already know about the mutation matter. Don’t worry, I’ve sent the Great Elder to attend to this matter.”

Jiang Shuxuan looked at Shu Chen in silence, not saying a word.

“Son?” Shu Chen said, seeing that he wasn’t responding to her words, and was a little startled at his reaction, or lack of it.

Ever since her son had lost his memories, he had become even more unpredictable than ever. Before this, she could probably guess a little at what he was thinking, but now, she was at a complete loss at the way he worked. The only thing that crossed her mind was that her son had become even more mysterious than ever.

Just like right now. She hadn’t wanted him to be distracted by this matter, it was their wedding day after all.

But looking at him, those pair of dark, onyx eyes, there was a chill that started to surface from the bottom of her heart.

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Shuxuan finally replied softly, looking at his mother.

His tone was calm, and she couldn’t read any other meaning behind his words. However, the uneasiness in her heart didn’t vanish, but increased instead. She wanted to say something else, but no words came from her opened mouth.

The uneasiness didn’t fade over time either, and Shu Chen felt it throughout the day. Only when the wedding banquet came to an end did she finally let out a breath of relief.

It stands to reason that after the group of them returned to the Jiang residence, that they would definitely want to head to the new room to make some noise. But when Murong Feiye raised the topic, everyone only looked at him from head to toe, then glanced away.

“Murong, daring to go and bother Young Master Jiang,” Yin Shaoyuan was the one who laughed outright. “I respect you as a man. Go forth, young man.”

“When did you become such a wuss?” Murong Feiye clicked his tongue. They all weren’t able to beat Jiang Shuxuan, so they needed to take the chance during his wedding day to find a weakness. Why didn’t these people get it?

Tang Qingqiu was leaning against the door, and he raised an eyebrow. “Since you’re so courageous, go on then.”

Murong Feiye almost choked on his own saliva, then turned towards Baili Bin. “Baili, you should want to go, right?” He knew that Baili Bin still had a lot of complaints about Gu Xiqiao marrying into the Jiang family so early.

He didn’t expect for Baili Bin to just give him a passing glance, before heading downstairs without another word.

Yu Ning clutched his computer to his chest, turning around to also head downstairs.

In just an instant, Murong Feiye was the only one left upstairs. He scratched his head, just about to say something when his eyes met with a pair of cold, black ones. He could feel the cold building behind him, and he immediately turned and left in a hurried pace.

Jiang Shuxuan had already taken off his coat, and seeing the group of them obediently heading downstairs, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, before turning to head in.

“Shuxuan,” Shu Chen was waiting for the others inside the house. “You can go downstairs and entertain them a while first, we have a few more words to say to Qiao Qiao. Come up in about half an hour.”

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t seem bothered by it. He gave one last glance to Gu Xiqiao, before heading downstairs.

Downstairs, the group of people was sitting in the living room, chatting with each other. The moment they caught sight of Jiang Shuxuan, they all quieted down.

“Big boss, why are you downstairs?” Yi Bing gave him a strange look.

“There’s something I need to do.” Jiang Shuxuan didn’t stop at the living room, continuing to walk out the door.

When the others saw him like that, they couldn’t help but look at each other. It was such an important day today, where in the world was he going?

Baili Bin furrowed his brows, then got up to follow him. Seeing that, Murong Feiye, Tang Qingqiu, and everyone else also did the same.

Yu Ning was among the ones left in the living room, the ordinary people within the group. It couldn’t be helped, it wasn’t like they knew ancient martial arts, and they would probably just fall behind if they tried to follow them.

“Brother, where are Brother Jiang and the rest going?” Luo Wenlin was curious, and asked Luo Wenlang as he tugged on his sleeve.

Before Luo Wenlang could say anything, Yu Ning opened his mouth to answer, “Dalin, don’t worry. I’ll show you in a bit.”

Having said that, he minimized whatever he had on his current screen, then opened his keyboard, his fingers flying over the keys as he quickly retrieved several footage of surveillance videos.

The others didn’t understand it, but Luo Wenlang did. “This is the Star Net that you and Miss Gu are researching on?”

“Bingo!” Yu Ning snapped his fingers. His eyes glanced at his screen again, quickly picking out the one that he wanted everyone to see.

Not long after, some figures appeared in the frame, and Ning Qing covered her mouth as she gasped, “God, what is this?”

“Mutated beasts.” Luo Wenlang had a good memory, and he was able to pinpoint the location in an instant. “According to the intel that Yu Ning sent over just now, this should be the tropical area, one where there’s a lot of them.”

Luo Wenlin watched as the people on screen appeared with a whoosh, and he also let out gasps.

Seeing that the screen was too small to really see anything, Yu Ning connected the tablet directly to the TV in the hall.

At this moment, not only were the few ordinary people from Nine Heavens were watching this, but it also attracted quite a number of youngsters that were from the ancient martial arts world.

In the beginning, they had been discussing among each other, wondering how to approach these people from Nine Heavens. But before they could come up with anything, the TV was turned on, and they freaking saw that white shirt man on screen.

He stood in mid-air, a cold, hard expression on his face. He pulled out his Seven-Frosted Blade, and with a squeeze of his palm, fresh blood flowed down his hands.

With the scent of blood in the air, the mutated beasts instantly turned their attention to him and rushed in his direction.

He merely lowered his head to look at the beasts, his expression unchanging as he watched them charged at him, but a hint of steel could be seen in his eyes.

The entire fight was shown on screen, and all everyone could see was an energy vortex swirling around him, white snowflakes falling from the top of his head, the blue, bright glint of the Seven-Frosted Blade in front of him, exuding its sword aura!

As the mutated beasts rushed towards him, Jiang Shuxuan raised his head suddenly, reaching out to grasp his sword.

“Young Master Jiang has moved!”

“I always thought Miss Gu and her people would be the only crazy ones!”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the screen. They had recently been surprised over and over by the Peace Squad, and hadn’t been paying much attention to Jiang Shuxuan. However, this was the first time in a long while that they had seen Jiang Shuxuan in action.

At this time, the current Jiang Shuxuan had finally become the same person as he previously was, the one who shook the entire world!

Here in the tropics, there were tens of thousands of mutated beasts. Even though the strength of the ancient martial arts world had increased greatly, they wouldn’t be able to face off with that many beasts. They would be crushed under the sheer number of them.

But Jiang Shuxuan took down most of the beasts with just a swing of his sword!

There was no sound from the video, and all everyone saw was that Jiang Shuxuan had paused in his steps.

The blood on the sword in his hand dripped down slowly to the ground.

Drop, by drop.

He looked at the remaining mutated beasts around him, his brows furrowed slightly, as though in annoyance, thinking them to be troublesome. Then his feet touched the ground, and he remained motionless.

“What’s Young Master Jiang doing?” Everyone from the ancient martial arts world who was watching the screen was dumbfounded at the man’s action.

Seeing a ferocious mutated tiger pounce towards Jiang Shuxuan, Luo Wenlin couldn’t help but shut his eyes tightly.

Everyone downstairs in the Jiang residence clenched their fist tightly, some holding their hands to their chest, breaking out in cold sweat as they watched.

Yi Bing, who stood to the side, merely laughed lightly. “Big boss is gonna get mad.”

“What?” Murong Feiye couldn’t snap out of his daze, his heart trembling. How were these two just kept besting each other?

“Just wait and see.” Yi Bing smiled, not saying another word.

Murong Feiye glanced at him, then silently turned back to look in Jiang Shuxuan’s direction.

The snowflakes in the sky had stopped falling a while ago, and Jiang Shuxuan, who still stood in the same spot, split into dozens of himself in an instant, each one holding a Seven-Frosted Blade in their hands!

“What the heck?” Every single person watching him, whether in the forest or the Jiang residence, were all in shock.

An illusion?

However, they soon discovered they weren’t seeing things, and it wasn’t an illusion!

The dozen figures who all looked like Jiang Shuxuan, their eyes were also cold as ice. He raised the blade in his hand, and with one swing, hundreds of beasts fell dead to the ground!

For the one swing of a sword from each figure, each of them felled hundreds of beasts!

Every figure that they thought to be an illusion, was in fact, him!

None of it was an illusion!

Countless mutated beasts were killed just in a single swing!

The excellent swordsmanship!

Its speed was faster than the wind!

Majority of the people couldn’t even see the trajectory of the blade in his hand, and they could only see the beasts falling to the ground.

After that split of his, the remaining group of mutated beasts disappeared!

F*ck, everyone was downright speechless at this moment, only looking at Jiang Shuxuan, who now stood alone on the screen, the figures having all vanished.

That was just a one-sided slaughter!

Before this scene, everyone in the ancient martial arts world was still guessing who was stronger between Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao. After today, nobody would say anything about this anymore. As expected, monsters needed to be compared to monsters!

At this moment!

In the hearts of everyone in the ancient martial arts world, Jiang Shuxuan was added inside right after Gu Xiqiao!

“Why are you so cruel today?” When Baili Bin saw Jiang Shuxuan return, he let out a deep sigh and asked. “It’s your marriage today after all, seeing blood on this day…” He initially wanted to say it was a bad thing to spill blood on this day.

Jiang Shuxuan spared him a glance. “A gift.”

“What?” Baili Bin didn’t understand.

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t bother replying, putting away his sword. With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

“What the Big Boss means is that this is a gift for Miss Gu.” Yi Bing explained kindly.

Baili Bin looked at the slaughter field in front of him: “…” What a gift that reeks of blood?

***

Jiang Shuxuan returned to the Jiang residence. It had taken him about half an hour to do what he did, and when he came back, he didn’t bother heading downstairs, directly going up to the second floor. When he pushed open the door, Gu Xiqiao was just coming out of the bathroom.

His steps faltered and he stopped at that moment.
