Chapter 1915: Stimulation

“Jiang Luofu, you…” Ye Ping was both shocked and enraged, never expecting the other party to suddenly lash out and injure someone in such a situation.

However, he had no time to speak; the opponent was too fast and had already attacked him.

As expected of the Libationer’s personal disciple!

He didn’t even have time to draw his sword and could only throw a punch.

As a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he was naturally no ordinary person.

If he could just block this sudden attack, his subordinates would react, swarm her, and surely capture her.

Then he would properly deal with her, letting her know who the hell was truly in charge within the confines of this imperial prison.

If the Libationer were still alive, he would naturally not dare to harbor such thoughts, but he had received reliable intelligence that the Libationer was dead.

There was nothing to worry about then. Without the Libationer, he didn’t need to fear the teachers of the Academy’s back mountain.

As for her father, Jiang Boyang, he had long been marginalized over the years and was nothing more than a toothless tiger.

The sneer on his face suddenly froze because he realized his punch had missed its target.

A warning bell rang in his heart, and he quickly turned sideways, raising his left hand to block in front of him.

Just then, a beautiful, high-heeled leg, clad in black stockings, swept sideways towards him.

Observing up close, he realized how beautiful these legs were. If he could hold them in his arms and slowly caress them, he could play with them for at least a year.

As soon as this thought arose, he found it somewhat absurd, because following that beauty was a chilling danger. The power contained in that kick…

Before he could finish his thought, the leg had already connected with his hand.

With a loud crack, his forearm was clearly fractured.

Along with his hand, the leg continued to strike his face, distorting his entire features.

The immense impact knocked him unconscious.

At that moment, the other subordinates finally reacted, drawing their sabers and rushing towards her, yelling as they swung.

Jiang Luofu twisted her waist, remaining airborne, her legs a blur of motion.

The slender heels of her high-heeled shoes suddenly became more terrifying than sharp spearheads. Screams echoed, clearly indicating that they had been badly stomped on.

Finally, with a backflip, her heel directly struck the chin of the last standing official. The man’s head snapped back, several teeth flew out, and he then crashed heavily to the ground, instantly falling unconscious.

Jiang Luofu landed steadily, adjusted her skirt, and coldly stated, looking at the Ministry of Justice officials groaning on the ground, “I still prefer to ‘reason with people’ using this kind of direct, physical approach.”

Everyone: “…”

That wasn’t a direct punch; it was clearly your legs you used.

Looking at her beautiful, slender high heels again, everyone felt a chill down their spines.

They had initially thought her high heels were very beautiful, but experiencing a stomp from them would surely not be pleasant. The groaning Ministry of Justice officials on the ground served as a stark warning.

Seeing Zu An’s surprised expression, Jiang Luofu smiled, “What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?”

Zu An remarked, “I always thought you were someone who strictly adhered to laws and rules. I didn’t expect…”

Jiang Luofu snorted, “I naturally reason with reasonable people. But for those who abuse rules to bully others, violence is much more effective.”

Having studied law for so many years, how could she not be aware of such situations?

She had always wanted to change these things, feeling a sense of powerlessness alongside her anger at this darkness.

But when Ye Ping dared to pull such tricks right in front of her today, how could she suppress her anger?

You’re so good at manipulating rules, aren’t you? Then I’ll just break them directly!

Zu An gave a thumbs-up, "A true heroine!"

In that moment, he felt as if he was seeing Jiang Luofu anew, though his gaze unconsciously drifted towards her body-hugging skirt.

This woman’s dressing style seemed quite alluring on the outside, yet unexpectedly, she was so conservative at heart.

Jiang Luofu instinctively clutched her skirt, “Did you just see?”

Zu An quickly averted his gaze, “I didn’t see anything.”

She’s even wearing safety shorts under a body-hugging skirt; who is she trying to guard against…?

Jiang Luofu’s face flushed slightly, but seeing others approaching, she found it inconvenient to continue speaking.

“Miss Jiang, how did you knock them all down? Oh no, oh no, this has really blown up now.” The jailer from before was completely stunned by the scene.

If given another chance, he would definitely not accept that gold ingot; it was too hot to handle.

Jiang Luofu said coldly, “This doesn’t concern you. Say another word, and I’ll kick you unconscious too.”

This guy didn’t say a word when Ye Ping was committing evil just now, but now he’s here gossiping. Does he think I’m easy to bully?

The jailer shivered, recalling the miserable state of the Ministry of Justice officials, and quickly retreated to a corner, not daring to utter another word.

“Miss Jiang, how will we resolve this later?” Qin Wanru asked with some concern.

“It’s fine. They offended the Libationer, so they deserved to be taught a lesson. I’m not afraid even if this reaches the Golden Imperial Palace.” Jiang Luofu snorted. If it came to playing by rules and regulations, she could do so flawlessly.

However, playing by rules and regulations with those wicked people wasn’t as satisfying. It felt much better to ‘reason’ with fists. Come to think of it, she learned this from that kid, A’Zu.

Hearing her words, the others were dumbfounded, yet at the same time, admired her quick wit. It turned out she had already planned her escape route before taking action.

At this point, Zu An walked towards the Ministry of Justice officials, grabbed one who was still groaning but not yet unconscious on the ground, and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Jiang Luofu’s heart stirred. Right, although the Murong family had been thrown into imperial prison, their case hadn’t been finalized. No one would interrogate them until various factions had battled it out and reached a conclusion, because no meaningful results would come from an interrogation now.

In the current situation, only those deliberately seeking revenge, like Prince Jin, would come for them. Therefore, the intentions of this group were highly suspicious.

Jiang Luofu secretly admired him. No wonder that kid had grown so much in such a short time; his meticulous thinking was indispensable.

“N-nothing, just a normal patrol, came over to take a look,” the official stammered.

“Tell the truth!” Zu An immediately unleashed a small-scale domain of the Tai’a Sword’s might. The remaining few were instantly terrified, their wills collapsing in an instant.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! We came to interrogate the Murong family members.”

“To thoroughly torment them, cripple a few key figures, and incidentally, destroy their cultivation.”

Hearing their words, the Murong family members’ faces instantly changed color. They never expected such cruelty from the other party and began to curse in anger.

“Who ordered you to do this?” Zu An’s face darkened.

The officials shivered, “We don’t know either. We were acting on Minister Ye’s orders. It seems someone was offended, and they needed to ‘kill the chicken to warn the monkey.’ This applies to the Murong family, and also to the Qin family just now.”

“What?!” Hearing this, Qin Wanru almost fainted.

Zu An’s heart also sank. From his words, did that mean they had just come from the Qin family’s side?

“What did you do to the Qin family members?”

The man gulped, feeling extreme fear under the other’s gaze, and cautiously replied, “We didn’t do much, just broke a few people’s legs and crippled a few others…”

“Ah?!” Qin Wanru’s body trembled, and this time she completely fainted.

Chu Huanzhao’s sisters next to her kept pinching her fingers, which slowly brought her back to consciousness.

Once she awoke, she immediately said, “A’Zu, I want to see Father and the others.”

Zu An nodded and immediately commanded, “Lead the way!”

The mood of the group became extraordinarily heavy. They only hoped that the targets were a few insignificant individuals, but deep down, they knew that if they were going to act, they wouldn’t just pick unimportant people.

At Zu An’s signal, the still-conscious Ministry of Justice officials carried the unconscious ones and followed along.

Many had already started trembling in their legs, clearly realizing that this group had a close relationship with the Qin family, but under Zu An’s formidable pressure, they had no way to refuse.

At this moment, the imperial prison guards finally reacted. A group of soldiers rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Seeing a group of Ministry of Justice officials being held, their faces changed dramatically. They drew their swords and surrounded everyone.

Seeing this formation, Qin Wanru’s face turned pale. Only at this moment did she truly feel the terror of the imperial prison.

However, thinking of the suffering her father and brothers were enduring in the imperial prison, a wave of anger involuntarily rose in her heart, making her less afraid.

“Quickly release the sirs!” the soldiers shouted.

“Get lost!” Zu An directly employed the Lion’s Roar technique, and an invisible sound wave dispersed.

“Ah!” A series of screams erupted as the soldiers clutched their heads, painfully crouching on the ground.

Jiang Luofu was secretly astonished. A casual roar had incapacitated so many soldiers?

Just how many secrets did this kid have that she didn’t know about?

She strode forward, her long legs carrying her to stand before the crowd, and declared in a clear voice, “This is the Libationer of the Imperial Academy. I am Jiang Luofu. We now suspect that private torture is being used in the imperial prison, and we are investigating this case. Everyone should remain at their posts; irrelevant personnel should not get involved!”

Those soldiers, already dazed and terrified by Zu An’s shockwave, naturally found this a convenient excuse to back down. No one was foolish enough to seek death.

The group headed directly towards where the Qin family was held. Along the way, any imperial prison guards they encountered involuntarily cleared the path.

Seeing this scene, Murong Qinghe felt a little lost in thought. On the battlefield, there were often legends of invincible valiant generals who swept through everything. However, these usually only existed in stories, as modern battlefields were dominated by large formations. If a single person charged too aggressively, they would easily be annihilated by the enemy’s formation, with no chance of achieving the effects described in tales.

But it was only at this moment that Murong Qinghe realized such figures truly existed in the world.

No wonder Miss Chu Er clung to him so tightly, even knowing he was her brother-in-law…

Alas, she wondered how the Qin family was faring now.

In a short while, the group arrived at the cells where the Qin family was imprisoned.

“Guangyuan, Yongde!” They were not difficult to find, thanks to their obvious painful groans. Qin Wanru and the others first arrived outside their cell.

Seeing the two men clutching their legs and screaming in agony, Qin Wanru’s eyes instantly reddened. It was clear that both their legs had been broken!
