The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
63. Chapter 63: The Duel That Reverses the Current (6)
Right now, in the Great Hall of the Ling family, Elder Ling was staring at Ling Xi with fused brows. Sensing dissatisfaction, he said, "I know you are worried about Gu Ruoyun refusing to accept your challenge now, which is why you deliberately spread rumors about her accepting the duel! However, the Hundred Herb Hall was unusual! With your lies like that, you can easily infuriate the troops 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, didn't you always want to obtain the Hundred Herb Hall for yourself? This is a good opportunity! I've already put out those words. It didn't matter whether the commoners believed it or not. If the Hundred Herb Hall dared to step out to clear the rumors, they would only be looked down upon by the others. !"
Recalling the precious medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herb Hall, elder Ling could not help but feel a leap in his heart. Sadly, he replied, "Do as you please. However, you must succeed without fail in this duel!"
"Don't worry, grandpa. Now, I'm already at the Martial Soldier level. Gu Ruoyun was only Level four at the Qi Gathering stage. He's definitely not my match!"
Ling Xi spoke confidently.
It was just a little 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 true Martial Warrior in just one month ...
...
In the courtyard, Luo Yin, who had a face full of spots, was furious. Exasperated, he looked at Gu Ruoyun.
"Gu Ruoyun, within two days, you will have to duel with that jerk Ling Xi. How can you still sunbathe now? The old man from the Ling family was extremely cunning and cunning. If he was unsure of his success, he would absolutely not let his precious grandson go on a duel."
"Duel?" Squinting his mouth, Gu Ruoyun replied without a care, "The battle between Ling Xi and I has ended a long time ago. He had lost to me in the Celestial Spirit Formation; that was why this duel could be ignored just now."
"How is it possible? The outside world is talking about a duel between you and Ling Xi that will take place within two days. They even used the Hundred Herb Hall as a leverage!"
After hearing this, Gu Ruoyun started to sit down, her bright eyes slowly darkened little by little. "I've been very busy these days. I have absolutely no idea what's going on outside. Tell me now - what's the situation here?"
Seeing clearly that Gu Ruoyun had no clue, Luo Yin blinked her eyes and slowly told her everything about the rumors spreading wildly outside.
Little by little, Gu Ruoyun's smiling face slowly turned cold. After a long moment of silence, he spoke with a sneer, "Duel? This must be something Ling Xi was thinking about. Too bad for him. He shouldn't have involved the Hundred Herb Hall at all. However, since he had already done that, then I had no choice but to give him his own dose of medicine."
It seemed like before he could look for trouble with the Ling family, they themselves came knocking on the door first ....
Two days later.
Outside the Hundred Herb Hall, the place was filled with people. It was obvious that they were all here to witness the duel between Gu Ruoyun and Ling Xi. Right at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out, prompting the crowd to clear the road and give way.
Under the supervision of the people, Ling Xi slowly walked forward. Compared to the arrogance he had back then, he now had an extra aura of dirty air and a bad premonition, gloomy and cold to the maximum.
"Gu Ruoyun, I know you are inside the Hundred Herb Hall. Since it is now the time for the battle we have agreed on, why are you still not out to meet me? Unless you decide to run away at that very instant." Last minute?"
When Ling Xi walked to the entrance of the Hundred Herb Hall, her legs stopped and her face became ferocious.
The aib and humiliation he once brought to her now will be returned to this damned woman!
