Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-438
This was the Divine Trials, where many powerful organizations have
gathered together.
Senior aunt Wei might have even snuck in to join in the fun, she mused.
This was her true motive in following the Medicine Order team into Cloud
City.
She never thought that she would end up meeting someone acquainted with
her senior aunt instead of senior aunt herself. That’s good too, she
thought, as long as the news reaches senior aunt, that is enough.
“Wu Yue,” Gu Ruoyun rose from her seat and said, “Tomorrow, I will send
someone to escort Wei Yiyi to Cloud City. You may follow the escort as
well so when the time comes you may speak to her directly. However, with
your absence, I don’t know if the other members of the Medicine Order
would…”
“Do not worry, Lady Gu. I’m not a participant in the trials. Even if I
were to leave, the members of the Medicine Order would not have much to
say.”
Upon hearing that Wei Yiyi would be arriving soon, Wu Yue’s eyes sparkled
and she replied hurriedly.
“Alright, then come see me tomorrow.”
Gu Ruoyun had nothing more to say after that and yawned, looking slightly
fatigued.
Seeing this, Wu Yue did not linger any further. She joined her fists and
bowed, “Thank you, Lady Gu. I shall take my leave.”
She then turned around and left, closing Gu Ruoyun’s bedroom door on her
way out.
…
Under a beautiful, moonlit sky.
Along the quiet streets, a woman dressed in white, whose face was
concealed by a white muslin, accidentally brushed Leng Yanfeng’s
shoulder. A peculiar feeling encircled his heart and he did not know why.
Leng Yanfeng wrinkled his brows and turned his gaze towards the slowly
disappearing figure in snow-white robes under the moonlight. A strange
feeling seemed to take over his heart.
“Wait!”
Even Leng Yanfeng could not understand why he would call out to a total
stranger on the streets.
The woman paused in her steps and calmly replied without turning her
head, “Do you need something, mister?”
“We… Have we met before?”
Leng Yanfeng turned silent for half a beat before asking as he stared at
Wu Yue’s shadow.
Wu Yue smiled and replied in the calmest of voices, “No.”
She then hurriedly took off and disappeared from view, leaving Leng
Yanfeng spellbound and in a daze.
This feeling was far too similar, too similar to what I’ve felt from
junior sister Shi Yun’s body all those years ago, he mused. Who was this
woman?
Lost in thought, Leng Yanfeng’s eyebrows were deeply creased. He resolved
never to allow anyone to influence his junior sister Shi Yun’s position
in his heart.
…
The trade fair was the most magnificent event in Cloud City. Every year,
many skilled cultivators would have their prized treasures displayed in a
stall for all to see. If the barterer happens to have a treasure that the
vendor happens to be interested in, then a trade will commence.
At this moment, in the middle of the Cloud City plaza, Linlang stared
curiously at the cat in Gu Ruoyun’s arms and blinked.
This was because she had previously seen a large white tiger turn into
this tiny cat before her very eyes. There was only one type of spiritual
beast that had the ability to shapeshift at will — the legendary
spiritual beasts that had the blood of the Divine Beasts flowing in their
veins!
She never imagined that this would have been just like the rumors have
said, Lady Gu does indeed have a bold and powerful Divine Beast in her
possession. As long as she was around, the Dongfang family could not
possibly lose in the Trials this time!
“After the trade fair, you will all be placed under training for half a
year. So if you have any weapons that you consider as your pride, find
something to exchange for them. It will be very useful for your training
later on.”
As she spoke, the eyes of the group sparkled and they began to look
around, searching amongst the weapons in their surroundings.
“Mmm?”
Suddenly, a flash of white robes caught Gu Ruoyun’s attention and a cold
smile formed on the corners of her lips. She said nothing more to Linlang
and others as she started walking towards that particular direction.
Qianbei Ye, who had been walking by her side, chased after her as well.
