Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

“Ladies and gentlemen.” Shi Yun smiled gently with a hint of warmth, her eyes filled with gentleness. “In order to assess your abilities, our elders have specially brought the Weapon Refining Sect’s Heavenly Spirit Formation today. I will escort you all into the Heavenly Spirit Formation shortly, where you will remain in training for a month. After a month, we will evaluate you based on your results on where you are qualified to enter the Weapon Refining Sect.”

Even if they did not know what the Heavenly Spirit Formation was, this was clearly a treasure which had been handed down for generations from the Weapon Refining Sect. So, it was clearly very valuable. They would dearly cherish this opportunity…

The Crown Prince, Leng Yanfeng, who had remained silent from the very beginning, paused for a second when he brushed past Gu Ruoyun. But he did not turn around to look at her again.

He slowly raised his voice and spoke solemnly. “Gu Ruoyun, your antics were only to show off your individuality in order to attract my attention. Unfortunately, this Crown Prince’s eyes were never on you…”

Once he finished speaking, he promptly disappeared from Gu Ruoyun’s view.

Gu Ruoyun was dumbfounded. Back in the East Peak Mainland, not even Supreme Jin had the right to make her kneel before him.

“So, why should I kneel before a mere Crown Prince?” she wondered, “Yet, my actions…How could the Crown Prince have thought that I was doing all of this to gain his attention?”

She could still remember that long ago, the talented genius Gu Shengxiao would always spar with Leng Yanfeng. And everywhere they went, Gu Ruoyun would tag along. Everyone thought that she was trying to get close to Leng Yanfeng through her brother, Gu Shengxiao. But that could not have been farther from the truth. For every time the two men sparred, she only ever had eyes for her elder brother.

Hence, the previous Gu Ruoyun did not even like Leng Yanfeng, much less the current Gu Ruoyun in the form of the newly reincarnated Xia Ruoyun!

“Gu Ruoyun, so you’ve really taken a fancy to the Crown Prince!” Gu Panpan was enraged, glaring hatefully at Gu Ruoyun. “You once denied it and claimed that you did not like the Crown Prince. Yet, now you’re actually resorting to such means to get his attention. Fortunately, the Crown Prince saw right through your ploy, otherwise…”

Noting the eyes of the crowd staring towards her, Gu Ruoyun blinked innocently. “What’s a Crown Prince? Can you eat it?”

“Eat? You actually want to gobble up the Crown Prince? As expected, Gu Ruoyun. You’re two-faced!”

“Alright!” She thought, “This time, not even ten mouths can help clear my innocence…”

Gu Ruoyun shook her head. She simply couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. She shrugged her shoulders and said, “Luo Yin, let’s go have a look over there.”

…

In the Imperial Courtyard, the crowd grew silent. All chatter promptly disappeared upon the arrival of the two elders.

Luo Yin pointed at one of them and exclaimed, “Gu Ruoyun, do you see that old man in black? That’s the Crown Prince’s teacher, Hun Fei. The other old man in red is Elder Tian Lin. They are both highly skilled cultivators from the Weapon Refining Sect.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded, shifting her gaze away from the two men, and placing her attention on the pillar next to them.

“Unless I am mistaken,” she thought, “the space surrounding the four pillars is the doorway to the Heavenly Spirit Formation…”

“Ladies and gentlemen, based on your current strength in power, I will only send you to the first level of the Heavenly Spirit Formation. Remember, you must all remain within the area that I’ve designated for you. You must not run anywhere else, for if you enter any other district, you will be in grave danger!”

Hun Fei stared seriously at the crowd. “Furthermore, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Spirit Formation is extremely dense. So, any cultivator who enters must be at least a level three in the Qi Collection ranks. Otherwise, your body will not be able to withstand the tremendous power, and will explode. I am definitely not simply using frightening words to scare you, but I believe that there shouldn’t be anyone among you who is still unable to breakthrough into level three.”

“Well…” Upon hearing this, Gu Panpan looked as if she was dying to speak up.

Her actions drew the attention of Elder Hun Fei, who frowned and asked, “Is there anything you wish to say, young lady?”
