Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-475

Dongfang Changjin felt her heart ache. She gently stroked Linlang’s head
as she struggled to hold back tears and spoke with gratitude, “You’ve
suffered greatly, my child.”

As Dongfang Changjin uttered these words, Linlang closed her eyes once
more. If not for the faint sound of her weak breaths, everyone would have
thought that she was dead…

“Linlang has fainted, haha, she fainted!”

Gu Lin, who had escaped the clutches of death, watched as Linlang lost
consciousness and laughed, “Since she has fainted, then I should be the
victor of the match. I am the winner! Haha!”

Everyone looked at him with disdain as he made his declaration.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Honorable Sir Xiangtian had managed
to save him in the nick of time, he would have fallen by Linlang’s sword,
they thought. And the reason why Linlang fainted was because of the
Honorable Sir Xiangtian’s attack. What did that have to do with him?

Besides, the Honorable Sir Xiangtian has already declared the Dongfang
family as the winners of this round. Is this man an idiot?

As such, the ones who had initially looked down on Linlang could not help
but respect her when they compared her to Gu Ling.

“Enough!”

Bai Xiangtian wrinkled his brows and glared coldly at Gu Ling as a hint
of scorn flashed across his eyes, “The victors of this match are the
Dongfang family!”

If it wasn’t for the sake of preserving the talented individuals of the
mainland, I would never have bothered to save this piece of trash! He
fumed. He has seriously humiliated me in front of everyone.

Gu Ling’s smile slowing disappeared as he stared dazedly at Linlang who
was being carried off the arena by the Dongfang family’s disciples. The
color of his face changed from green to white, then from white to green.

I’ve lost! He fumed, I’ve lost to the Dongfang family!

No!

This is unacceptable! How could I have lost! What power does that
good-for-nothing Linlang have to defeat me?!

“I did not lose. I will not lose. I have yet to utilize my crippled
spirit weapon. How could I have lost? Get me my crippled spirit weapon. I
want a rematch! That Linlang is nothing but a servant to the Gu family.
As a servant, how could she have possibly defeated her master?”

Had he lost to anyone else, Gu Ling may not have had such an exaggerated
reaction!

But when faced with the reality of being defeated by the Dongfang
family… He could not believe it at all!

“Hmph!”

The Honorable Sir Tianqi’s expression darkened, “If you’ve lost, then
you’ve lost. The choice does not belong to you. Servants, have this fool
thrown off the arena. What a humiliating eyesore! And…”

He paused before turning to face Bai Xiangtian and smiled coldly, “Why
didn’t you stop the fight when Qingling of the Medicine Order was trying
to kill the disciple of the Dongfang family? You’ve even made excuses for
her actions by saying that her opponent did not admit defeat! Yet now, in
the match between the Dongfang family and the Gu family, you moved to
stop her! Bai Xiangtian, as a human being, how could you be so shameless?
As they say, the heavens are watching over the deeds of men. One who has
done many wrongs will soon face retribution!”

Then, he rose from his seat, straightened his robes and walked away.

Elder Jiu rose and followed suit, not bothering to even glance at Bai
Xiangtian’s face.

As he watched the actions of both men, Bai Xiangtian’s face turned ashen,
“Merely an insignificant Dongfang family, was it even worth it for you
both to act in such a way? The Dongfang family did not have to face the
Medicine Order or the Dark Yin Palace the previous two rounds. Otherwise,
they would have been defeated — without a doubt!”

…

In the guest house, Gu Ruoyun had only just emerged to find Linlang being
carried back. She frowned, “What happened?”

Upon hearing her question, Wei Yiyi immediately explained everything
which had happened in the arena.

Gu Ruoyun’s expression sank as a cold light flashed across her clear,
beautiful eyes, “It seems that the Trials must end as soon as possible!
Wei Yiyi, I had initially planned on letting you take care of the
Medicine Order but now it seems that I have no choice but to make an
appearance! Tomorrow, in the Trials, everyone shall know the true power
of the Dongfang family. I will make sure of it!”
