Jiang Pengji's blunt retort made the man's face turn red and then green.
She clicked her tongue, turned her head, and sneered at the two embarrassed young men who had choked on the hot soup.
"Today, you two almost killed me and the people of Shangjing City. Why didn't you think about what would happen to you now?"
The two drowned rats were full of hatred, but when they heard Jiang Pengji's words, they suddenly shivered and sobered up.
They were terrified, and they didn't even dare to struggle.
Many onlookers witnessed what happened. They were disgusted by Jiang Pengji's arrogant behavior, but after hearing her words and looking at the two men's guilty expressions, many smart people changed their expressions. They pretended nothing had happened and went on with what they were supposed to do.
Obviously, the drunk teenager had suffered a loss at the hands of the two men and almost lost his life. Now, he was there to get back at them.
It was better for outsiders not to get involved in this kind of dispute.
"Tsk, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
Jiang Pengji raised her head and drank a mouthful of wine. According to the way she drank, the jar of wine was going to be empty again.
"Weren't you two very arrogant in the day? Why are you so cowardly now? Where's your backbone, your pride, your courage to use my life to take pleasure … have they all been fed to the dogs? Haha, idiots! "
Jiang Pengji was not drunk. She was very sober. She was there to cause trouble, so she naturally wanted to vent her anger.
It was Shangjing. She couldn't kill the two men, but she could stomp them into the ground in front of everyone.
"A villain intoxicated by success."
At that moment, the surroundings were quiet. A crisp sound came from one side, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Jiang Pengji maintained her sneer and looked at the person who said that. She asked in a dangerous tone.
"Are you saying that I am a villain intoxicated by success?"
The one who spoke was a young man in his early twenties. His skin was dyed a bit red because of the hot spring. His face was like jade and his eyes were like dots of lacquer. His dark cloud-like hair was wet and hung on both sides. Through the dense mist, his figure seemed a bit frail.
"Aren't you a villain intoxicated by success?" The man was not afraid of Jiang Pengji's sneer. Instead, he snorted and said, "According to what you said just now, these two almost killed you by mistake. Since that's the case, you should be a gentleman and take revenge if you have a grudge against them. On the other hand, what you've done is to humiliate the two of them in public while you're drunk. What you've done is really inappropriate. "
To put it bluntly, wasn't this the behavior of a playboy?
The bullet screen in the streaming room stopped. Many viewers were afraid that Jiang Pengji would kill someone in the next second and stain the hot spring with blood.
In fact, Jiang Pengji did not. Instead, she laughed cheerfully. She did not even tease the two fops.
"If I'm a vile person, won't this Langjun be overflowing with the heart of a saint?"
Jiang Pengji threw the wine jar in her hand into the hot spring. The water splashed and splashed on the faces of the two playboys.
"I'm standing here today and humiliating them because I'm still alive. If I was unfortunately shot by that arrow and died on the spot, would you feel sorry for me? "Jiang Pengji snorted coldly." I know you can't do it. After all, you're not related to me. The dead will always be dead. They're not as important as the living. If you still want them to live, shut up, or I'll kill them myself! "
The young man's face changed. He said, "You're really twisting words and forcing logic … You're taking advantage of your ancestors' influence to commit such crimes …"
"You're wrong. They're taking advantage of their ancestors' influence to amuse themselves with the lives of the commoners. If the commoners die, they'll be scolded at most. No one in the King of Hell can uphold justice for the dead. " Jiang Pengji suddenly raised her voice and said, "If you want to reprimand someone, you should first scold these two beasts who are worse than pigs and dogs, instead of speaking righteously to me. I'm just taking revenge if I have a grudge, that's all! "
"How can commoners be compared to gentry?" The young man retorted.
Jiang Pengji was so angry that she almost laughed. She scolded him back.
"Did a donkey kick you in the head?"
The young man suddenly opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect Jiang Pengji to scold him so crudely.
What was the difference between that and pointing at someone's nose and scolding them?
"This young Langjun is right. Zude, you shouldn't confuse the truth just because commoners are cheap and gentry are precious. Although the young Langjun was reckless and impulsive, he was also a man of character. There was a reason for his actions, and he should be considerate. However, you've really crossed the line by scolding him so harshly. Zude is thin-skinned. He can't stand such abuse. "
When the atmosphere was tense, a mellow laughter interrupted them. It was a little teasing.
Jiang Pengji frowned and looked toward the direction of the sound.
She saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, but he didn't look old. He was hale and hearty, and his steps were light.
When the man appeared, the young man's expression changed.
He bowed to him and said respectfully, "Master."
"Are you the young Langjun of Liu County Chief's family?" The middle-aged man came to Jiang Pengji. His eyes seemed to have seen through everything. Jiang Pengji frowned. He said, "You're indeed a dragon among men. You look extraordinary."
"Who are you?"
Jiang Pengji didn't even bother to pretend to be drunk because of the man. She looked at him with burning eyes.
The young man, who was called "Zude," was dissatisfied with her arrogant behavior. His master was respected by everyone. When had he ever been stared at so rudely? Jiang Pengji's previous behavior left a bad impression on him. The young man hated her even more.
The middle-aged man smiled kindly and raised his hand to stop the student.
"I thought you should know. I'm not talented, so people give me a nickname, Yuanjing. "
Yuanjing?
Jiang Pengji's mouth twitched. She didn't expect to see the legendary Master Yuanjing under such circumstances.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man who had just finished soaking in the hot spring. He didn't seem to be as mysterious as the rumors said.
Master Yuanjing laughed. He was quite optimistic. His eyes slightly curved like a crescent moon. "In Shangjing, a piece of tile can kill three high officials. Young Langjun, you're a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers. You can do anything. "
Jiang Pengji clicked her tongue and said with a smile, "No, you're wrong. I still have my concerns. Otherwise, these two people would have been killed on the spot. They wouldn't have just drunk a few mouthfuls of hot spring water."
After that, she thought of something. "Actually, according to what your student said, the gentry are more noble than the common people. But there are different levels among the gentry. Naturally, I'm more noble than these two people. They offended me, so no matter how I humiliate them, it shouldn't be wrong. "
The young man named Zude was speechless.
