Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Xiao Yun’er, we’re here, this is the Regional King’s Mansion.”
A peerless evildoer who was dressed in peach blossom colored robes paused in his footsteps outside the Regional King’s Mansion. He then turned his eyes towards the woman in green by his side and raised the corners of his lips. His phoenix-like eyes carried a smile as he said, “The Regional King is one of my Master’s acquaintances. If we can get his help, it would be much easier for you to find Qianbei Ye.”
Gu Ruoyun fell silent before she followed Zuo Shangchen inside.
As they had stepped into the Regional King’s Mansion, a tender voice called out in front of them. A feminine figure then fluttered towards them like a butterfly. The woman’s dainty features were filled with a magnificent smile.
“Brother Chen, you’re back?”
The woman glanced at Gu Ruoyun as she spoke and a malicious light flashed deep in her eyes. However, because of what the Regional King had said, she did not allow it to show.
Zuo Shangchen was somewhat shocked. Knowing Su Lin’s spoiled nature, he had assumed that she would have attacked Gu Ruoyun after seeing her so Zuo Shangchen had made preparations before his arrival. He never expected Su Lin to act as if nothing had happened at all.
In reality, even though Su Lin had been spoiled and willful from a young age, no one dared to say anything to her due to the Regional King’s Mansion’s influence.
However, she was the Eldest Lady of the Regional King’s Mansion after all so she would know how to draw a man’s attention! Initially, she had thought that no matter how unruly she was, Zuo Shangchen would have accepted her on account of her father’s friendship with his Master.
She had been wrong!
Since she had been mistaken, there was still time if she changed her tactics now! However, it was impossible for her to let go of her enmity towards Gu Ruoyun.
She had only put on an amicable face in front of Zuo Shangchen.
Gu Ruoyun gently curled her lips as her eyes filled with amusement.
The malice in Su Lin’s eyes may have disappeared in a flash but she had noticed it. Looks like her time in the Regional King’s Mansion would not be a peaceful one…
“Haha, Sir Chen, you’ve returned?”
A clear and bright voice rang out from the hall.
They then saw a middle-aged man in embroidered robes walking over towards them with quick steps. The man’s features bore a resemblance to Su Lin and was quite handsome as well. Gu Ruoyun managed to figure out the man’s identity instantly.
He must be the Regional King of Heavenly Moon Empire, Su Ran!
He was also a cultivator in the late-stage of the refined state! He was second only to the current Emperor of Heavenly Moon Empire!
“May I ask who this young lady is?”
The Regional King’s eyes flashed as he looked at Gu Ruoyun who was standing next to Zuo Shangchen.
Zuo Shangchen paused but the smile on his face only increased. “She’s my friend, Gu Ruoyun. She has come here to participate in the Heavenly Moon Empire’s competition. As she doesn’t have a place to stay, I’ve brought her with me and would need to trouble you to put her up for two days.”
“Hahaha,” the Regional King burst into laughter as he concealed the strange light in his eyes. He then replied in a bright and clear voice, “Zuo Shangchen is my old friend’s disciple! You are his friend as well so you can rest assured and stay in the Regional King’s Mansion. If there’s anything that you need, let us know. Lin’er, since this young woman is Brother Chen’s friend, you must take good care of her.”
“Yes, Father.”
Su Lin slowly turned around and bowed at the Regional King. No one had noticed the malice in her eyes when she turned around.
Gu Ruoyun!
You’ve dared to fight with me over Brother Chen so I will make you understand the price you’ll have to pay for trying to snatch my man away!
Su Lin took a deep breath at the thought of this to calm the growing murderous intent in her heart!
