The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
64. Chapter 64: The Duel That Reverses the Current (7)
"Ling Xi, you brave little bastard! You dare to show that face of yours in my Hundred Herb Hall?" Not long after his voice disappeared, Shopkeeper Zhao walked in with thunderous steps. His gaze sliced through the air between him and Ling Xi as he added with dislike,
This is your best chance to get out.

, wretch. The Hundred Herb Hall had no interest in seeing anyone from the Ling Family!"
Ling Xi laughed flatly at his threat. "
Oh .... Shopkeeper Zhao. Come onl. Your little company already has a new master waiting! Sure, Gu Ruoyun promised results within a month, but hey! I was proud as a loving person, so I reached out her little hand promising for two months of — just so she could squeeze out a little bit of whatever repair she could do! It's just that you guys are optimistic enough to bet the Hundred Herb Hall on that loser. From the way I saw it, it was just a detour to beg me to have this place, man. Don't worry, with my guidance, this place will be worth twice as much!"
When one had the support of the mighty Weapon Refining Sect, there was no need for politeness and stale base - even if the opponent was now someone as formidable as the Hundred Herb Hall. All they had was simply impossible to match the Weapon of Anyway refining the Sect!
"The Hundred Herb Hall has never seen such a shameless proposal - EVER!" Shopkeeper Zhao was furious as he clenched his hands
"aww...Are you finally smart enough to be afraid of what I can accomplish now?" Ling Xi grinned.
His words stirred the crowd as they turned their attention to these offenders. Murmurs begin.
"Low-level Martial Soldiers? Ling Xi had broken through to level eight in the Qi Collection range, and had now reached the low-level Martial Warrior stage! How can I not see it?"
"Damn it! Isn't he just at, like, level 5 last month? How did he get to that level so fast?"
"Huh, guess the Hundred Herb Hall is used to underestimating everyone. Now that this kid showed them what he really had, it was too late for them to eat their words now!"
All eyes were filled with ridicule as they began to direct their remarks to Shopkeeper Zhao. This baseless humiliation made him so angry that he wanted to exterminate the bastard right then and there!
Suddenly, a cheerful laughter sounded. "It's okay, Shopkeeper Zhao. Let me handle this."

? ik?The shopkeeper's eyes twinkled at the sound, quickly turning around to find himself before Lady Ruoyun herself. His mouth was agape as he tried to say something.
"That's it, Gu Ruoyun. I've been waiting for you so much" Ling Xi sneered. His expression immediately darkened like a storm as he looked at it.
"Now that you're finally here, the time is ripe for us to duel!"
"Duel?" Gu Ruoyun laughed out loud, "I'm not against it, but do you really want to break your agreement?"
"What deal?"
'If you lose, all of the Ling family's properties will be mine, remember? While you must kneel before me and call me Your Master. Plus, the added advantage of calling your grandfather a stupid old man."
"THAT'S BULLCRAP!" Ling Xi's face unraveled as she retorted with a grumble. "I don't agree to such terms!"
He raised his eyebrows. "But then... Why else would I be able to stake the entire Hundred Herbs Hall in this duel?"
"That's it!" Shouted Ling Xi, his chest would explode in flames and fury. "That's the bait you got there, Gu Ruoyun. Do you really think that you can beat me? You are just a pitiful trash whose best move is to gather Qi. You are not even a true Martial Warrior yet! I can give you a hundred lives just to try, and you still have no hope against me!"
Let's face it. The gathering of Qi did not make one a martial artist. It was "NOOB'S ONLY!" skill
