Outside the eldest prince's manor, Gu Kei is stuffing herself with Zhixiang country's delicacies while roaming the public market not knowing that these foods' taste is far from the genuine one sold in the capital. But they can't be found in Qiangdu so she was fine with it. She didn't follow Lin Xulian inside the manor with the excuse to "inspect" the town for possible spy. Of course Lin Xulian knew her real intention when she saw her wandering and sparkling eyes while looking at the food stalls on the street.While walking and eating her squirrel shaped candy, Gu Kei's eyes are still on the different displays on the stall so she didn't notice the road until she b.u.mped on a metallic thing. Specifically, on a man wearing a metal armor. Looking up on the man who's one feet taller than her, Gu Kei saw him looking back at her with contempt and arrogance.She subconsciously stepped back and looked at him up and down. He is wearing an intimidating silver plated armor with a royal blue silk clothes underneath indicating his rank. In his right chest, a gold Zhixiang country's emblem is embedded on his armor giving out his ident.i.ty as a royal guard. Beside him is another royal guard who is looking at her with similar contemptuous look as if he is looking at a dead person.Gu Kei then looked around the crowd, only to find them lowering their head as if she doesn't exist and nothing unusual is happening. But she can notice the fear in their eyes. This told her that these two men in front of her are local bullies in the town.The man she b.u.mped into earlier stepped closer to her and crossed his arms in front of his chest while looking at her meaningfully. "A gluttonous woman throwing herself at this young master. Not a good sight but meat is still meat. Clean yourself up then find this young master in the barracks. I might consider bedding you then."Hearing him, Gu Kei snapped and retorted. "What gave you the impression that I want you? My standard is not that terrible!"Humiliated, the man brandished his sword and slashed it towards her neck with red angry eyes. "How dare you, lowly wh.o.r.e!" But instead of sword cutting flesh, what the crowd saw was a metal shattering to pieces. She caught and shattered the sword with bare hand!
