Evil Emperor's Wild Consort Chapter 62 The Duel That Turned The Tide 3

“Ling Yu? A member of the Ling Family?”

Gu Ruoyun looked at the elegantly dressed lady who was glaring at herself furiously and couldn’t help but felt slightly startled.

As a matter of fact, she happened to have met Ling Yu once before, during her first visit to the Hundred Herb Hall. She had coincidentally came across the scene where Ling Yu was making a fuss and was kicked out of the Hundred Herb Hall in the end. Even though she was forced to return to apologize by Master Ling, she was still refused an entrance by the Hundred Herb Hall.

Never did she thought that she would run into Ling Yu over here again.

“What are you doing here?”

Because of Ling Xi, Ling Yu’s eyes blazed with hatred the moment she set her eyes on Gu Ruoyun. The glint in her eyes was as sharp as a sword, ruthlessly directed towards the young girl who was standing by the door; how she wished she could inflict some marks on that delicate little face of hers.

Gu Ruoyun glanced past Ling Yu and finally, her gaze landed on the middle-aged man who was standing right in front of her, “How much does it cost for this house?”

Before the middle-aged man could even open his mouth, a sardonic jeer was heard coming out from Ling Yu’s mouth.

“You little bitch! Don’t you dare have the idea that being part of the Hundred Herb Hall could allow you to be self-righteous and conceited! Come to think of it, you’re only a mere servant of the Hundred Herb Hall. Do you really think that you could use the influence of the Hundred Herb Hall to your advantage, obtain this house by force and make it yours? Let me tell you something. I bought this place as a gift to the crown prince because he was thinking about moving out from the palace lately. The crown prince is from the Weapon Refining Sect! Even if Hundred Herb Hall was that strong, it won’t be able to beat the power of the Weapon Refining Sect at all, let alone making an enemy against the Weapon Refining Sect for the sake of a small petty servant like you!”

Ling Yu spoke while lifting her little face up high in aloofness.

Just the thought of herself being chucked out from the Hundred Herb Hall was enough to make her gnarl her teeth in hatred.

But it didn’t matter – wait till she became the crown prince’s wife. That small little Hundred Herb Hall would then become her property in no time! When that time finally came, she could freely decide the fate of Gu Ruoyun, that mere servant of the Hundred Herb Hall!

“How much is this house?”

As though not listening to a word that Ling Yu said, Gu Ruoyun continued her inquiries.

“Gu Ruoyun, I am talking to you right now! How dare you ignore me!”

Ling Yu’s little face became scarlet in anger, her eyes glaring in rage at Gu Ruoyun.

“Oh?”

Finally, Gu Ruoyun showed some reaction and lifted a brow while looking at Ling Yu. Smiling happily, she said, “You were talking to me? I’m sorry, I thought you were muttering to yourself.”

Pffft!

Ling Yu almost spit a mouthful of blood out when she heard this. Her little face livid with rage, her eyes glinting with resentment and her teeth clenched in annoyance. “Gu Ruoyun, it’s better for you to scram now! You can’t afford this house at all! Not to mention the fact that you have no right at all to compete with the crown prince!”

Swoosh!

In an instant, a swift and fierce double-edged sword abruptly appeared and rested on the neck of Ling Yu. Instantaneously, her whole body went rigidly cold, and when she lifted her eyes up, they were met with a pair of supercilious and chilly eyes.

“You better shut your mouth up! Otherwise…”

Looking at Ling Yu coldly, Xun Feng said in a bone-chilling tone.

“Do you… Do you even know who I am? My aunt is the highest-ranking imperial concubine. How dare you threaten me? Wait till I go back and tell my aunt! She will wipe off your whole clan!”

The look in Xun Feng eyes darkened a few shades and without warning, he let out an icy-cold laugh, “Who cares if your aunt’s the imperial concubine or even the queen herself? Whoever dares to offend my master will end in death!”

In the eyes of this young man, Ling Yu could clearly see his killing intention.

That was right! This fellow really did intend to kill her. This was not just a mere intimidation attempt.

In that instant, Ling Yu turned pale in fright, her legs shaking uncontrollably. Not even a proper sentence could be strung out from her mouth.

“Xun Feng, I am here for a serious affair. As for other matters, take care of them some other time instead,” Gu Ruoyun threw a glance at Xun Feng as she spoke.

Having heard her words, only then did the killing intent that was exuded from Xun Feng’s body dissolved away.

Unmistakably, Ling Yu let out a sigh of relief. Just a short while ago, she really had the feeling that the grim reaper was just standing right beside her.
