Chapter 0163 – A Shocking Glimpse – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Jian Wuji stepped into the hall.

He shaved off his beard, tied up his long hair, and changed into a brand new strong suit, covered with a flowing green long shirt, showing his dashing and suave manner when he raised his hands and threw his feet.

What attracted the crowd was not only his handsome appearance, but also an ineffable temperament. It was a realm close to "nothing", a kind of extraordinary freedom, a kind of mystery and nobility that could not be imitated.

Looking at the person in front of her, Qin Xia Ling did not recognize him for a moment. In her mind, there was only one thought:

"So handsome!"

It really was too handsome! If someone asked her what kind of man she liked, she would definitely point at Jian Wuji and say, "Just like him."

Not only her, but all the women present, looked dumbfounded, and even those self-proclaimed suave gentlemen couldn’t help but look sideways.

"Who is he?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t seen it before."

"What a handsome groom!"

Similar murmurs followed.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jian Wuji walked straight towards Qin Xia Ling and Zhao Xin.

"Why is he coming towards us? Could it be a friend of Zhao Xin’s?" Qin Xia Ling secretly guessed in her heart.

"Miss Jin is also here." Jian Wuji was the first to open his mouth in greeting.

"You know me?" Qin Xiaoling was shocked, "Who are you?"

His voice, sounded somewhat familiar, but she still failed to recognize him. The Jian Wuji at this moment was a far cry from the scruffy guard she remembered.

"I don’t suppose you don’t recognize me?"

Until this moment, she still hadn’t recognized him. She only thought that there was something familiar about his voice, but never thought that it would be the same person.

"You are ……"

"Didn’t you say that if anyone bullied me, you would report your name? How can you help me when you’re like this now? I think you’ll 80% join them in bullying me, right?"

Hearing these words, Qin Xia Ling’s eyes widened.

"Could …… you be ……?"

"Yes, that’s right, exactly."

"Ah!" Qin Xia Ling couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

"As for being so surprised? I am Sword Wuji."

Those clear and deep eyes made her finally certain that the person in front of her was the same Jian Wuji who had once served by her side.

For a moment, she felt her blood boil and goosebumps fall all over her body.

A man so handsome, standing in front of me, was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat, and he, to my surprise, was that scruffy retainer – Jian Wuji?

"What the …… hell is going on here?" She stammered.

"I just shaved my beard, washed my hair, and changed my clothes." Jian Wuji said indifferently.

Zhao Xin, who was on the side, was similarly dumbfounded.

He was too surprised to speak, and could only stand frozen in place, blinking at what was happening in front of him.

At first, he didn’t recognize Jian Wuji either. He prided himself on being suave and handsome, so whenever he saw a man who was more handsome than himself, he would be disgusted.

Thus, the moment Jian Wuji appeared, he was already in an unpleasant mood.

The fact that a guy who’s even more handsome than me shows up at my party is enough to piss me off, and he has the nerve to walk towards me?

"What? You said he was the squire? That scruffy guy? How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Xin almost cracked up.

"Is that guy even that good looking?"

This is bad, my plan is all gone. I originally wanted him to lose his mystery and become mediocre, but in the end, he became even more mysterious! What’s even more annoying is that I caused all of this with my own hands!

"Mr. Zhao gave me some money to buy new clothes." Jian Wuji turned his head towards Zhao Xin and said with a smile.

"Really?" Qin Xia Ling looked at Zhao Xin with a surprised expression.

"Ah …… yes, yes."

"It seems that you really want to apologize. To be honest, I didn’t believe your words before, so I’m really sorry."

"No …… it’s fine."

Zhao Xin’s mood at the moment was really mixed, crying and laughing.

He hurriedly transmitted a voice to Jian Wuji, ”You brat! Get the hell out of here! Get out immediately!"

He originally wanted Jian Wuji to leave the banquet, but Jian Wuji turned around and walked towards the other guests as if he had deliberately misinterpreted his meaning.

"Wow! So many delicious dishes, can I eat whatever I want? There’s also fine wine, it’s so fragrant."

Every movement he made attracted the gazes of the crowd. However, Jian Wuji did not feel the slightest bit constrained as he feasted and drank openly, as if he was the main character of the banquet.

"How did he …… he become like this?" Qin Xia Ling looked mesmerized and couldn’t help but walk towards Jian Wuji.

"Damn it!" Zhao Xin cursed and hurriedly followed.

"You …… you seem like a different person."

"I used to be too scruffy, that’s why you didn’t recognize me."

"Why didn’t you dress up before?"

"What is the decency of a guard, dressed up in a flowery manner?"

Looking at Qin Xia Ling’s glittering eyes, alarm bells went off in Zhao Xin.

"No good! This can’t go on like this!"

I had to find a way to turn things around! I was trying to make her see reality, but as a result, she’s fallen deeper into it instead! It really pisses me off!

"You kid! Why are you dressed so handsomely?" He furiously transmitted his voice to Jian Wu Ji.

Jian Wuji turned his head to look at him, his eyes seeming to say, "Who told me to dress up?" Zhao Xin was dumbfounded.

As a matter of fact, Jian Wuji didn’t deliberately dress up, he just shaved his beard, washed his hair, and changed his clothes. But even so, he was still radiant.

Zhao Xin must find a way to demean him.

"Looks like you want to put on a good show in front of Miss Qin."

"That’s right, I made a point of dressing up."

Hearing these words, Qin Xia Ling’s cheeks, immediately flushed a blush, as if Jian Wuji was really deliberately dressed up for her.

"Damn! This won’t work either!" Zhao Xin became even more anxious.

He should have behaved in an awkward and unnatural manner, making people think that he was deliberately trying to please Qin Xia Ling. However, Jian Wuji looked like he was born to wear this kind of expensive clothes, and when he raised his hands and threw his feet, he showed his elegance and nobility.

Moreover, instead of being ashamed of deliberately dressing up, he acted generous and confident, which made him look even more attractive.

"What a coincidence, you and Miss Qin’s dresses, the colors are actually exactly the same."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Zhao Xin could no longer look on, and he hurriedly sent a message to one of his men, telling him to go and accost Qin Xia Ling.

Taking advantage of the time Qin Xia Ling was talking to that person, Zhao Xin pulled Jian Wu Ji aside and threatened in a low voice, "You brat! Are you tired of living?"

"What’s wrong?"

"Do you want me to remove the filters from Miss Qin’s eyes and take one hundred thousand taels of silver, or do you want to lose your life and not get a penny? Take your pick!"

"So what am I going to do?"

"You’re going to do things that make her hate you, like bragging, picking on people, getting drunk, got it?"

Even Zhao Xin himself was incredulous when he said those words. When did I become so despicable? I used to just kill them directly, where was the need to go through all this trouble?

However, right now, he could not care about that much anymore, he had to let Qin Xia Ling see Jian Wu Ji’s true colors before she completely fell. It really pisses me off!

"You give me the money first."

"What?"

"You’ll give me fifty thousand taels first, and then another fifty thousand taels after it’s done."
