The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Baili Fengjie Ding Family Array

This array formation of theirs, who knows how many people it has trapped.

The steward wore a proud, cold smile on his face. The Ding Family’s array formation is not something that just anyone can confront. Even though the skills of these four family servants are ordinary, what they execute can throw top martial artists into disarray.

A little girl of sixteen or seventeen, not knowing the vastness of the heavens and the earth.

Could it be that she can compare to the top martial artists of Jianghu?

He had just watched, and this little girl, her movement technique was merely decent, her moves just unexpectedly surprising.

Xia Wenjin, trapped within it, indeed felt the oppressive force of this array formation, so strong that it restricted her movements.

If someone is not knowledgeable in array formations, they would undoubtedly be flustered and even remain trapped within, eventually resigned to being captured. But Xia Wenjin quickly calmed her mind. In her past life, to act as the vanguard for Huangfu Yuxuan, she had really studied array formations in depth.

Unexpectedly, because of believing in that scoundrel in her past life, everything she did for him can now be put to such use.

This array formation, although unfamiliar to her, as long as one has mastered the art of formations, one can find the critical points even without having encountered it before. She quickly noticed the subtleties and found the core of the array.

Seizing the right opportunity, she made a precise strike, kicking over the person who happened to shift to the east. She applied her strength skillfully and with an unexpected move. After the person was kicked, a gap immediately opened in the previously dense formation. Xia Wenjin wouldn’t miss the opportunity and struck immediately, unleashing punches, palms, kicks, and elbows simultaneously, causing the other three to be sent flying.

The steward’s expression turned serious, and he evaluated Xia Wenjin with a mixture of surprise. This little girl, so young, actually knew about array formations? Moreover, he was well aware of the power of this formation by the four. For her to break through in just thirty minutes—what kind of speed is this? What kind of skill?

Inside, Xia Wenjin was also shocked, rapidly sorting through all the information in her mind. Then she looked at the steward coldly and said, ”I didn’t expect a seemingly ordinary house in Jinzhou City to actually be coveted by the Baili Fengjie Ding Family Array, and you have not hesitated to use unscrupulous means to seize it!”

Baili Fengjie is not a person’s name, but it indicates that the Ding Family’s array formation moves like the wind, and within a hundred miles, no one dares to confront it. More than twenty years ago, there was a saying in Jianghu: Baili Fengjie Ding Family Array, Thousand-Change Jianghu Calming Needle!

It means that as long as there is the Ding Family Array, the Ding Family stands as steady as the Sea Calming Needle, immovable and impregnable.

The steward raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, ”You, at such a young age, know about the Baili Fengjie Ding Family Array. Indeed, you have some insight.” He sneered, ”However, your courage is too great. You dare to cause trouble at the Ding Family and slander us. Today you won’t be able to leave!”

With this sentence, his whole demeanor grew even more aggressive.

Of course, being a member of the Ding Family, he had such confidence.

A giant entity like the Ding Family does indeed provide him with such confidence.

Xia Wenjin pondered, the Ding Family’s array formations are renowned in Jianghu, but their family’s main residence is in Yan State, and they have always been rooted in Yan State, rarely leaving its bounds.

And here is Jinzhou, hundreds of miles apart.

Why did the Ding Family send people to Jinzhou to occupy a small property?

As a reputed and esteemed family in Jianghu, aren’t they afraid of ruining their reputation, being ridiculed by others? Even if the Ding Family wants to develop in Jinzhou, wouldn’t they be able to afford buying a property?

Xia Wenjin said coldly, ”Yes, I know the Baili Fengjie Ding Family Array, Thousand-Change Jianghu Calming Needle! But I never expected that the dignified Ding Family, with such profound depth and known as a grand family in Jianghu, would actually attack an orphaned young girl. Quite the eye-opener, indeed.”

”Nonsense!” The steward burst into anger, ”Who are you really? Why are you making baseless accusations? When did we attack an orphaned young girl? When did we forcibly take someone else’s house? If you don’t explain, you won’t be leaving today!”

The steward looked at Xia Wenjin standing quietly in the courtyard, somewhat apprehensive. There aren’t many people in this house, and although he could call more people, given the speed at which she broke the formation just now, even more people might not be her match, only a delay tactic.

Xia Wenjin’s voice was chilling, ”I used to be the owner of this house. I gave this house to a pair of orphaned young girls, and now you claim this house as yours. Did you not act against them? Where are they now? If anything happens to them, I won’t let you go!”

Her cold gaze swept past them, past the four people on the ground, her words carrying a tangible chill, making the four on the ground shiver as if a sudden frost descended.

The steward’s eyes widened, seemingly stunned.

Xia Wenjin said coldly, ”Call out your master!”

The steward, snapping out of his stupor, cautiously asked, ”May I ask, young lady, is your surname Xia?”

Xia Wenjin looked at him unexpectedly, ”Yes!”

”Then are you Miss Wenjin?”

Xia Wenjin frowned, ”Yes!”

The steward, who was previously fuming, now wore a sinister, oppressive air, but all of a sudden, his expression turned as clear as the clouds dispersing, his face showing a friendly smile, adopting a courteous manner, ”My apologies, my apologies, so it is Miss Xia Wenjin, we failed to recognize you. Please forgive us, Miss Xia!”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

What nonsense?

Suddenly changing their attitude, are they preparing to play tricks now that they can’t fight?

The steward, in a polite tone, said, ”Miss Xia, the master has always been thinking about you, but unfortunately, they returned to the Ding Family two months ago and should be back soon. Again, we apologize for our offense!” He turned his head to the four servants, ”Quick, prepare a banquet, ready the rooms, and treat Miss Xia well!”

This sudden change in demeanor left Xia Wenjin bewildered, arousing greater suspicion.

Looking at him, the steward was indeed full of warmth, and why did he ask about her name?

She probed, ”So your master is a woman?”

The steward chuckled, ”Of course!”

Xia Wenjin further asked, ”A mother and daughter pair?”

The steward’s smile wavered a bit, he lightly coughed, ”Miss Xia, you jest. Our young lady is not yet married!”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

Things appear even more peculiar!

Xia Wenjin asked, ”What about Jing Xian?”

The steward was puzzled, ”What Jing Xian? A person or an object?”

Xia Wenjin: ”...”

Changing the subject, she asked, ”When will I be able to see your master?” Since they claim the master often thinks of her, she might as well see who it really is.

The Ding Family’s young lady? The master? With a steward and Ding Family members protecting her, it stirs curiosity about who exactly it is.

The atmosphere was quite strange, the air momentarily quiet, and suddenly, there was the sound of a carriage rolling from outside and Xia Wenjin’s horse softly snorting.

Someone was arriving!
