The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
60. Chapter 60: The Duel That Reverses the Current (3)
"Ling Yu's? The Ling Family member?"
Gu Ruoyun looked at the elegantly dressed woman who was glaring at herself angrily and felt a little surprised.
In fact, he happened to have met Ling Yu before, during his first visit to the Hundred Herb Hall. He coincidentally came across the scene where Ling Yu made a fuss and ended up being expelled from the Hundred Herb Hall. Even though he was forced to return to apologize by Master Ling, he was still denied entry by the Hundred Herb Hall.
He never thought that he would meet Ling Yu here again.
"What are you doing here?"
Because of Ling Xi, Ling Yu's eyes flared with hatred as she stared at Gu Ruoyun. The glint in her eyes was as sharp as a sword, mercilessly directed at the young girl standing by the door; how she wished she could cause some marks on her delicate little face.
Gu Ruoyun glanced past Ling Yu and finally, her gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man standing right in front of her, "How much is the price for this house?"
Even before the middle-aged man could open his mouth, cynical ridicule sounded out from Ling Yu's mouth.
"You******small! Don't you dare to have the idea that being part of the Hundred Herb Hall can make you feel right on your own and arrogant! Come to think of it, you are only a servant of the Hundred Herb Hall "Do you really think that you can use the influence of the Hundred Herb Hall to your advantage, get this house by force and make it yours? Let me tell you something. I bought this place as a gift for the crown prince because he was thinking of moving out of the palace late on. The crown prince is from the Weapon Refining Sect! Even if the Hundred Herb Hall was that strong, it would not be able to defeat the strength of the Weapon Refining Sect at all, let alone make enemies against the Weapon Refining Sect for the sake of a little servant like you!"
Ling Yu spoke while raising his little face upwards in a aloof manner.
Just the thought of him being expelled from the Hundred Herb Hall alone was enough to make him grit his teeth in hatred.
But it doesn't matter - wait until she becomes the crown prince's wife. That little Hundred Herb Hall would then become his in no time! When that moment finally arrived, he was able to freely determine the fate of Gu Ruoyun, the servant of the Hundred Herb Hall!
"How much is this house worth?"
As if not listening to a word Ling Yu said, Gu Ruoyun continued her question.
"Gu Ruoyun, I'm talking to you right now! How dare you ignore me!"
Ling Yu's little face turned red with anger, his eyes glared furiously at Gu Ruoyun.
Finally, Gu Ruoyun showed some reaction and raised an eyebrow while looking at Ling Yu. Smiling happily, he said, "You're talking to me? I'm sorry, I thought you were mumbling to yourself."
Pfft!
Ling Yu almost vomited a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. His little face was full of anger, his eyes flashed with hatred and his teeth clenched in annoyance. "Gu Ruoyun, you better get rid of it now! You can't afford this house at all! Not to mention the fact that you have absolutely no right to compete with the crown prince!"
Swooshes!
In an instant, a swift and ferocious double-edged sword suddenly appeared and leaned against Ling Yu's neck. Instantly, his entire body became cold stiff, and when he raised his eyes, they met a pair of haughty and cold eyes.
"You better shut up! If not ..."
Looking at Ling Yu coldly, Xun Feng said in a cold tone.
"Are you ... Do you know who I am? My aunt is the highest ranking imperial concubine. How dare you threaten me? Wait till I get back and tell my aunt! He will wipe out your entire clan!"
Xun Feng's eyes darkened a few colors and without warning, he laughed ice-coldly, "Who cares if your aunt is an imperial concubine or even the queen herself? Anyone who dares to offend my master will end up dying!"
In the eyes of this young man, Ling Yu could clearly see his killing intent.
That'sthat's true! This guy really intended to kill him. This is not just an attempt at intimidation.
At that moment, Ling Yu turned pale in fear, his legs trembling uncontrollably. Not even the right words could come out of his mouth.
"Xun Feng, I'm here on serious business. As for other things, take care of them next time," Gu Ruoyun glanced at Xun Feng as she spoke.
After hearing those words, only then did the killing intent emanating from Xun Feng's body disappear.
Unmistakably, Ling Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, he really felt that the angel of death was standing right beside him.
