Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

Right now, in the Great Hall of the Ling family, Elder Ling was looking at Ling Xi with his brows knitted together. Feeling a sense of discontentment, he said, “I know that you are worried about Gu Ruoyun refusing to accept your challenge right now, which is why you’ve purposely spread the rumor about her accepting the duel! However, the Hundred Herb Hall is not of ordinary! With such a lies of yours, you could easily piss off the forces behind the Hundred Herbal Hall!”

With a shady smile on his face, Ling Xi said, “Grandfather, please don’t forget that the Weapon Refining Sect is our backup force! Besides that, haven’t you always wanted to obtain the Hundred Herb Hall for yourself? This is a good opportunity! I’ve already let the words out. It doesn’t matter whether the commoners believe it or not. If the Hundred Herb Hall dares to step out to clear the rumors, they will only be looked down upon by the others!”

Recalling the valuable medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herb Hall, Elder Ling couldn’t help but felt a leap in his heart. Dejectedly, he responded, “Do as you please then. However, you must succeed without fail in this duel!”

“Don’t worry, grandfather. Now, I’m already in the level of Martial Warrior. Gu Ruoyun is just a mere Level four in the Qi Collection stage. She is definitely not my match!”

Ling Xi spoke with full confidence.

It had only been slightly over a month. Even if Gu Ruoyun was no longer a loser, there was absolutely no way she could make that much progress!

As for him, he had managed to become a real Martial Warrior in a mere one month…

…..

In the courtyard, Luo Yin, who had a face of full of freckles, was furious in anger. Exasperated, she looked at Gu Ruoyun.

“Gu Ruoyun, in two days time, you will have to duel it out with that asshole Ling Xi. How can you still have the heart to sunbathe right now? That old man of the Ling family is very cunning and sly. If he wasn’t certain of his success, he wouldn’t have let his precious grandson go to the duel at all.”

“Duel?” Squinting her mouth, Gu Ruoyun replied without much care, “The battle between Ling Xi and I has already ended a long time ago. He had already lost to me in the Heavenly Spirit Formation; that’s why this duel can just be ignored now.”

“How is that possible? The outside world is talking about the duel between you and Ling Xi that’s about to take place in two days time. They even used the Hundred Herb Hall as a leverage!”

Luo Yin’s mouth was widely opened in astonishment. Did Gu Ruoyun not know a thing about the duel at all? What was actually happening right now?

Having heard this, Gu Ruoyun began to sit up, her bright eyes slowly darkened bit by bit. “I’ve been very busy these few days. I have absolutely no clue as to whatever that is happening outside. Tell me right now – what is this situation here?”

Seeing clearly that Gu Ruoyun was without a clue, Luo Yin blinked her eyes and proceeded to slowly tell her everything about the rumors that were spreading wildly outside.

Little by little, Gu Ruoyun’s smiling face slowly became cold. After a long moment of silence, she spoke with a sneer, “Duel? This must be something that was thought of by Ling Xi. What a pity for him. He really shouldn’t have involved the Hundred Herb Hall at all. However, since he had already done that, then I would have no idea choice but to give him a dose of his own medicine.”

It seemed like before she could seek trouble with the Ling family, they had, by themselves come knocking on the door first…..

Two days later.

Outside of the Hundred Herb Hall, the place was fully packed with people. It was evidently clear that all of them were here to watch the duel between Gu Ruoyun and Ling Xi. Right at this moment, a loud sound was suddenly heard, prompting the crowds to clear a path and make way.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Ling Xi slowly walked forwards. Compared to the arrogance he had back then, he now possessed an extra aura of foul and evil-foreboding air, gloomy and cold to the max.

“Gu Ruoyun, I know that you are inside the Hundred Herb Hall. Since it is now time for the battle that we have agreed on, why are you still not out yet to meet with me? Unless you have decided to flee at the very last minute?”

When Ling Xi walked up to the entrance of the Hundred Herb Hall, his feet came to a halt and his face a streak shady ferocious.

The disgrace and humiliation that she had brought him at one time would now be returned back to this bloody damned woman!
