No one knew where the laughter started, but soon, the entire crowd burst out laughing as if they had not heard of such a funny joke in a long time.
“Gu Ruoyun, don’t be a savage!” The Little Master of the Ling Family leapt in his fury, and yelled, “If I don’t beat you until you kneel and call me Daddy, then I’ll take on your surname!”
This damned woman, she was actually humiliating him in public. That’s great, just great. I will make her die spectacularly! The Little Master Ling gritted his teeth hatefully as if he dearly wished to grind Gu Ruoyun’s bones into dust.
“I’ll f*ck your mother! Ling Xi, who is going to be f*cking forced to kneel before you and call you her daddy?” Luo Yin could no longer control herself. She swiftly rose from the ground and screamed, “Even if Gu Ruoyun is defeated, I’m still here. Come at me if you have the balls! What are you trying to prove by bullying someone weaker than you?”
Ling Xi was about to argue with her until he suddenly met with General Luo’s dangerous glare.
Honestly, besides his own grandfather, the only other person that Ling Xi feared most, was this burly general.
Although both General Luo and General Gu were generals, the latter was never one to stir up trouble. The former…was completely fearless!
He was particularly famous for being wrapped around his daughter’s finger.
Anyone who bullied his daughter would be beaten to a pulp, even if you were a relative of the Emperor himself! Once, the son of the Minister of War called Luo Yin “ugly”, and General Luo immediately rushed to his door and beat him until he was nearly disabled.
The Emperor was not really an incapable ruler. Hence, he would not possibly revoke him of his military title, simply because of this. After all, General Luo had made many outstanding contributions to the country in the war.
“Hehe!” Imperial Concubine Ling laughed with a smile that did not reach her eyes. “General Luo, what an interesting daughter you have! However, please don’t forget that the Crown Prince and the representatives of the Weapon Refining Sect are still present. Oh, that’s right. Allow me to make the introductions, this is Shi Yun, the daughter of the Sect Master of the Weapon Refining Sect.”
The Weapon Refining Sect had always been sacred in the hearts of the people. And now, the daughter of the Sect Master was standing before their eyes.
“Imperial Concubine Ling, the first reason behind our visit to your esteemed country is to attend the Crown Prince’s birthday celebration. The second reason is because our sect has been lacking in manpower. So we’ve especially come to select a few candidates to enter our sect as outer disciples. And I’ve long heard that there are many talented young cultivators in Azure Dragon Country. We believe that they would make suitable candidates to serve the Weapon Refining Sect.”
Shi Yun smiled at the crowd in the garden. Her smile was like a refreshing spring breeze, giving off a kind of abnormally comforting feeling.

Gu Ruoyun felt a psychic connection, and she glanced at Shi Yun in surprise. But she soon looked away without saying another word…
“It seems that you’ve sensed it too, little girl,” Zixie’s voice suddenly echoed from within her soul. “This woman is practicing a long lost divine ritual. Those who practice this will emit an extremely comforting and mesmerizing aura. Men who have seen her will feel unconsciously drawn to her, falling for her. However, this ritual will cause a person’s physique to grow extremely weak, and they must continuously absorb the mental energy of others in order to survive. If her supply of mental energy is insufficient, she will die.”
Even Zixie was astonished. “How could it be that there is still someone practicing such an evil ritual?” he wondered, “Rituals like this should have disappeared years ago…”
Especially since this woman made him feel extremely uncomfortable. In the past, only one other person had ever made him feel this way…
Hearing Zixie’s explanation, Gu Ruoyun fell silent. It would seem that this mainland was far more complicated than she thought…
