Huang Yue Li thought his words were a bit strange, but didn't think about it too much.
Taking the teacup, her eyes narrowed before brightening up.
"Clear Red Grass Tea?"
Clear Red Grass was a Third Level fire attributed herb. Although it was a fire type, it was very gentle. As a result, it was often made into tea. It was a very loved beverage by all fire attributed cultivators.
Armament Masters especially welcomed and loved this herb.
Drinking a sip of tea, Huang Yue Li lifted her gaze and looked at the man opposite her.
This man was neither fire attributed or an Armament Master. Clearly he was attempting to curry favour with her.
Coupled with his previous ambiguous attitude, it couldn't be that.....he had taken a fancy to her?
While considering it, Huang Yue Li prevented it from revealing out through her face.
Not long later, the horse carriage stopped into front Valiant Martial Manor's back courtyard's front gate.
Impatiently, Huang Yue Li pulled open the door preparing to leave.
"Lord Owner, I thank you for your hospitality today. I will definitely research the dao of refining in an attempts to advance more quickly! Please rest assured! Before I advance, I will not disturb you and could you please not disturb my cultivation too. Let us say farewell here!"
Reaching out, the man caught her wrist.
"The carriage has yet to come to a complete stop, what is the rush? What if you fall? You are ugly enough, if you were to fall and produce a scar, then you won't be able to marry."
"That! Has! Nothing! To! Do! With! You!"
That was enough!
Was this man's formal name 'Poison Tongue' and his nickname 'looking for a spanking'?
He was practically the same as that shameless Mu Cheng Ying! She really met a ghost!
She was born proud. If it was a different man who dared to be this frivolous and spoke this rudely to her, he would long turned into something that wasn't a ghost or a human.
Such a shame, her current strength couldn't compare to him!
What was more infuriating was this man clearly knew this fact. He was taking full advantage of it.
Holding her wrist, he escorted Huang Yue Li all the way to her the courtyard's front gate. He halted his steps once he arrived.
"Rest assured, since your armaments are in this Lord's hands they will certainly sell for a good price." Reaching his hand out, he lightly brushed back her stray hair, "Wait for my good news."
"I understand, good bye!"
Swatting his hand, Huang Yue Li turned around and entered her courtyard. She did not spare a single glance at him.
Watching her back view, the man helplessly shook his head. Sighing, he said to himself: "Why is she this arrogantly cute?"
With his cultivation talent, his identity coupled with that extraordinary looking face, he always received the affection of women. How many noble born princesses willingly took action and suffered losses against him to gain his attention.
The first time he took the initiative to gain a girl's goodwill, he believed that he would succeed in catching her.
Except that in reality, Huang Yue Li did not give him any face and this has made him hit a nail in his attempts.
But, because it was like this, that made him all the more interested.
...
Returning to her back courtyard, Huang Yue Li's mood was still very sour.
She felt that it was a great failure to not check the calendar before leaving the house today!
The selling of armaments should have been a very simple and easy affair, but she was very unlucky to provoke such a powerful man. A super large headache!
Looked like she must go to get lengths to avoid this man in the future.
Afterall, once she received her pay from the armaments and received the herbs, Huang Yue Li had long planned to go into closed-door cultivation. At that time, she no longer needed to have any more dealings with that mysterious man.
Unfortunately, shortly after she returned, some people had come knocking.
"Third Young Miss Bai, under the orders of this subordinate's master, I have come to deliver something for you."
Huang Yue Li recognized him. He was the personal bodyguard of that mysterious man. She couldn't help but knit her eyebrows.
"Deliver what over? I do not need it?"
"Master said, if you see it you will definitely like it."
Moving to the side, the bodyguard revealed the thing from behind him.
Observing the object, Huang Yue Li's eyes widened; it was an exquisite Armament Furnace!
This furnace was about as tall as a person, much smaller than the usual sized furnace. The purple light that it released was the deciding factor that also set it apart from its peers, distinguishing itself.
Huang Yue Li someone who could understand the value of items. Instantly, she could tell that it was made of Amethyst-Green Gold, nine times refined. It would last, at least to the Seventh Tier!
There wasn't anything that attracted an Armament Master's gaze more than this. Furthermore, the furnace she currently used was that shoddy one she used eight hundred silvers to buy. This caused the furnace in front of her to become more praiseworthy and appealing.
That mysterious man was far too sinister and crafty. Gifting this over, how did he expect her to reject?
She nodded her head, "Then move it inside."
A couple guards then ran in, swiftly carrying the furnace away. Listening to Huang Yue Li's instructions, they placed it in the correct position. Simultaneously, they also carried in various chests filled with Third Level materials.
"Young Miss Bai, my master said these are here to help you advance to the Fourth Tier more quickly. These were especially prepared for you. If you have any other needs and wants, please go to Thousand Treasure Pavilion and seek out our master."
"En, I got it."
Money that is delivered to you, it would be waste to reject it. If she had known that this man was this great, she should have exploited him more.
Waving the bodyguard off, Huang Yue Li turned around to see Cai Wei staring at her foolishly.
"What is the matter?" She asked strangely.
Cai Wei walked over and shut the door securely. Finally she said in a hushed voice: "Third Young Miss, this is...….is this servant seeing correctly. Did a man just escort you home? And these armament materials, where they also gifted from him?"
"What's the matter?"
A bit unpleased, Huang Yue Li pursed her lips together.
Cai Wei was nothing more than a serving girl. She could tolerate her fussing due to her great loyalty. But if she dared to involve herself with her private matters, that would be overstepping her boundaries!
Without delay, Cai Wei responded: "Third Young Miss, please don't be angry. This servant doesn't have any meaning. It's only...…a couple days ago, Second Madam accused you of having an illicit relationship with a man. If she were to find out you were out with another man, I'm afraid she would take the chance to defame you again..."
"I do not care. Let them say what they want!" Huang Yue Li shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
In the Soaring Heavens Continent, what spoke best was power. As long as she possessed enough ability, what harm can a few random rumors do to her?
"Ai-ya, Third Young Miss!" Cai Wei was worried, "Why do you not treat this seriously? Very soon the Crown Prince will be choosing his Imperial Consort. If word were to spread out, questioning your innocence, then you will have no chance of become the Crown Prince's Imperial Consort!"
For a moment, Huang Yue Li believed she had misheard.
"Eh? What Crown Prince? The Crown Prince choosing his Imperial Consort...…..what has that got to do with me?"
Cai Wei answered: "Third Young Miss, do you not remember? Back when the Old Lord was still here, he and the Emperor had a verbal agreement to wed you and the Crown Prince. Since the the disappearance of the Old Lord, the matter was never discussed again. But with the Crown Prince preparing to choose his Imperial Consort nearing, the Emperor sent over people to inquire about your situation. It seems that you still have a large chance to be chosen!"
"There was this type of thing?"
"That's right Third Young Miss! You must properly catch this opportunity ah! The Crown Prince is a Fifth Grade Talent. He has already reached the Defensive Qi Realm Seventh Level at the young age of twenty! Second Young Miss has secretly loved him for many years now! But what can she be considered as? You are the one to have an engagement with the Crown Prince since a young age!"
