When Zuo Shangchen heard what Gu Ruoyun had said, he felt shaken and gently furrowed his brows. After a long while, he finally relaxed his face as his seductive features broke into a peerless smile. "Xiao Yun"er, since you don"t like the Regional King"s Mansion, we shall avoid that place. However, knowing Su Lin"s character, she will never let you off so easily. I believe that she will certainly cause trouble for you before the compet.i.tion. If you can"t deal with her, let me settle it for you, alright?"He winked at her as he spoke with affection in his eyes.
Gu Ruoyun rolled her eyes at him. "Isn"t the Regional King your Master"s old friend? If you attack his daughter, wouldn"t your Master cause trouble for you?"
"Xiao Yun"er, you can rest a.s.sured, my Master is not an unreasonable person." Zuo Shangchen smiled gently as he replied, "If I help you to deal with Su Lin, how will you thank me? How about a hug?"
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders. "There"s no need, I can definitely solve these issues on my own. I won"t be needing your help."
Hearing this, Zuo Shangchen did not say anything else but the smile in his eyes deepened. He glanced at the little beast who was snuggled tight in Gu Ruoyun"s bosom while his thoughts remained a mystery...
...
In the magnificent and mighty palace of the Heavenly Moon Empire, numerous talented and handsome youths were fighting and competing against each other.
Within the group, aside from the sons and daughters of courtiers, there were countless geniuses from other organizations and a few idle cultivators as well. Their objective for being here was very simple, it was for the sake of the compet.i.tion held by the Heavenly Moon Empire.
However, the Heavenly Moon Empire has a rule for their compet.i.tors - their powers must be at the exceptional state and they had to be below the age of thirty!
This rule limited many who had wanted to join the compet.i.tion.
"Gu Ruoyun, I never thought that you would have the audacity to come to this place!"
A shrill voice suddenly cried out and drew everyone"s attention towards her.
Su Lin"s eyes were extremely red as she glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun. Her fists were clenched in a tight grip as her venomous eyes, like a poisonous snake, slithered around her neck.
"Su Lin, do you know this young lady?
A woman in palace attire approached Su Lin"s side. She gently raised her willowy brows as she swept a puzzled gaze over Gu Ruoyun before returning her attention to Su Lin.
"Aunt, that"s her!" Su Lin replied heatedly. "She"s the woman who had seduced Brother Chen and used Brother Chen to bring herself close to Father. Furthermore, I don"t know what tactics she had used but she caused Father to hit me!"
That slap would forever be a stinging pain in her life!
She would never ever spare this d.a.m.ned woman.
The woman in palace attire that Su Lin had addressed as her aunt now had a sunken look on her face. She stared at Gu Ruoyun sternly once again and asked, "May I ask which family"s heiress are you, young lady? Why have I never seen you before?"
Zuo Shangchen glanced at her when he heard her question before he softly explained in Gu Ruoyun"s ear. "She"s Su Lin"s mother"s younger sister and an Imperial consort of the Heavenly Moon Empire. If you don"t like her, I can help you to deal with her privately. If you were to deal with her openly now, I"m afraid that you would lose your chance to join the next compet.i.tion and you would be unable to save Shengxiao."
Zuo Shangchen believes that it would not be difficult for Gu Ruoyun to deal with this woman! After all, she has way too many trump cards in her hands, be it the little beast in her embrace or that man named Zixie...
