Chapter 133: Blade and Spear
The young man in white braced one hand against the ground, crouching low. The bluestone slab beneath his palm let out a crack and split apart.
His face had gone pale with shock. He snapped his head up and looked toward the only open window on the second floor of the inn.
Yet the people by the window had not even spared him another glance, simply continuing to drink their tea without a care.
The young man in white's expression shifted, and a flash of stunned fury rose in his eyes.
But he seemed to realize that Li Musheng's group was not to be trifled with, and in the end gritted his teeth and, thoroughly defeated, turned around and leaped up onto the eaves of a shop behind him, crouching silently on the roof ridge.
Back inside the second floor of the inn, the other guests seemed to have been startled by the sight of Wu Shang throwing the man out the window, and the room fell completely silent.
Hu Rui'an, for his part, had remained perfectly composed throughout the whole affair and said nothing further.
While he had no desire to stir up unnecessary trouble, that did not mean he shied away from it either. As a subordinate, his role was naturally to act entirely according to the will of the Eighth Prince before him.
Wu Shang took a step back and returned to his original position, standing in attendance beside the table.
