Chapter 1312 - 6: Misunderstanding
Yun Chu knew Shen Junshan was a young master of a Marquis Mansion, but she didn’t expect him to be the young master of Jibei Marquis Mansion, the well-known Second Young Master Shen of the Capital City.
Her heart was trembling like a sieve.
She wanted to turn and run, but her feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move a step.
Shangguan Tong shook his folded fan as he descended the steps, tapping Shen Junshan’s chest with the fan, saying, "Second Young Master Shen, you sure have some nerve, daring to rob even my cousin."
Shen Junshan’s brow furrowed tightly.
Young Master Zhou and Shangguan Tong were definitely connected, but he didn’t expect them to be cousins.
The Jibei Marquis Mansion held significant power in the Capital but couldn’t compare to Duke Chong’s Mansion.
Duke Chong’s Mansion was the natal home of the current Empress, and the maternal family of the current Crown Prince.
Shen Junshan and Shangguan Tong usually kept their waters separate.
One feared Shen Junshan’s unruly nature, daring to provoke anyone.
The other feared provoking Duke Chong’s Mansion, causing trouble for Jibei Marquis Mansion.
For these years, things had been peaceful.
But who would have thought that after being pickpocketed a set of clothes hundreds of miles outside the Capital, and having no choice but to rob a set of clothes, he would inadvertently provoke Duke Chong’s Mansion.
Shen Junshan’s gaze shifted from Shangguan Tong to Young Master Zhou, "What does Young Master Zhou want to do?"
Young Master Zhou looked at Shangguan Tong.
Clearly, whatever his cousin said would determine his actions.
Shangguan Tong had long been displeased with Shen Junshan, and now having him fall into his hands while having justification, he wouldn’t let it go easily?
"Take a punch from my cousin, and this matter will be settled," Shangguan Tong said.
Shen Junshan’s brows knit into a knot.
Yun Chu knew this matter started because of her and wanted to speak, but Shen Junshan stopped her, "It’s just a punch, I can handle it."
Shen Junshan’s casual words didn’t ease Yun Chu’s worries much, but they did infuriate Shangguan Tong.
This was looking down on his cousin!
Did he think it was easy to take a punch?!
He would have reason to cry soon!
Shangguan Tong shot Young Master Zhou a look.
Young Master Zhou clenched his fist, and the bones made a creaking sound.
Shen Junshan propped a hand on the stairs and went down to the open space, Yun Chu hurriedly stepped aside.
Young Master Zhou moved his arm, tightened his fist, and swung at Shen Junshan.
Shen Junshan dodged.
Young Master Zhou’s face turned angry, "Who allowed you to dodge?!"
"Don’t hit my left chest," Shen Junshan said.
Shangguan Tong laughed angrily, "Do we need your approval to decide where to hit?!"
Shen Junshan appeared a bit impatient, "Alright then, hit wherever you want."
"But don’t regret it if anything happens later."
Shangguan Tong scoffed internally.
What could happen?
Surely, his cousin’s punch wouldn’t shatter his heart.
As long as he didn’t die, it wasn’t a big deal; at most, he’d just be crippled, which could be considered removing a menace for Daqi.
Young Master Zhou had just used eighty percent of his strength, but Shen Junshan’s dodge had angered both him and Shangguan Tong, and he had no intention of holding back.
Utilizing his full strength, Shen Junshan staggered back two steps.
The wailing voice of Young Master Zhou spread in the air.
The crowd, "...."
What was happening?
The one being hit didn’t cry out, but the one hitting cried so miserably?
Shen Junshan was slightly shaken, but it wasn’t serious.
But Young Master Zhou was miserable; he had punched right onto Shen Junshan’s Heart Protection Mirror, and his fingers were fractured.
Shen Junshan took out the Heart Protection Mirror from his chest.
The Heart Protection Mirror had been smashed flat.
Shangguan Tong’s face was as ugly as it could be.
The other diners at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion were also dumbfounded.
None had expected Shen Junshan to wear a Heart Protection Realm on him...
He had kindly warned the Second Young Master of Duke Chong’s cousin about not hitting his left side, not out of fear of death.
Now Young Master Zhou hadn’t listened, and brought misfortune upon himself, he couldn’t blame the Second Young Master of Jibei Marquis Mansion.
Shen Junshan felt a bit sorry for Young Master Zhou; after all, it was his fault for stealing the brocade robe, and now because of him, a finger was broken.
This unlucky cousin came rushing into the Capital only to be set up by his cousin?
Shangguan Tong felt like killing Shen Junshan, and he actually intended to do so.
He clenched his fist and lunged at Shen Junshan.
A kick sent the Heart Protection Mirror flying from Shen Junshan’s hand.
Shen Junshan was not someone who would take a beating without hitting back; the issue with the brocade robe had already been cleared with the punch.
Even if he was the Second Young Master of Duke Chong’s Mansion, he couldn’t go back on his word.
Shen Junshan’s martial arts were not weak; Shangguan Tong couldn’t gain the slightest advantage against him.
The two fought to a draw.
If Young Master Zhou hadn’t passed out from the pain, who knows when they would have stopped.
Shangguan Tong hurriedly took his cousin back for treatment and left first.
Yun Chu thought the idea of treating guests might be put aside now, but unexpectedly Shen Junshan instructed the Drunken Immortal Pavilion shopkeeper, "Make a few of your best dishes and serve them upstairs."
Yun Chu, "...."
This person has such a heart!?
