*** Bei Yue Dynasty ***
After returning to Flowing Clouds Pavilion, Liu Yue excitedly took out the"Hundred Ways of Refinement Scroll"to study. The calligraphy on top of it was simple and unadorned. With just a glance, the scroll gave off a simple yet heavy feeling. It was brimming with power.
Dong Ling increase the brightness of the light to the highest. She didn't dare to disturb her in the room so she went to the outer room to sew clothes.
Once Huang Bei Yue had sat down, she had sat there for the entire night. She didn't even rest her eyes. She looked at all the words that were written on the scroll and only felt that her warm blood was pumping quickly in her chest.
This is the best method of refining in this world! The scroll contained information about refining and refining tools, which she had never understood much about them before. But now, with the "Hundred Ways of Refinement Scroll", the things she didn't understand before, she now understand them all!
She was already smart, while she read, she was silently calculating and connecting everything in her mind. She didn't feel sleepy at all. The more she read, the more she felt at peace. She was itching to experiment refining again.
It just so happened that the Purple-Gold Furnace that AnGuo Gong had gifted her wasn't used yet. The herbs she had bought before was still in her space ring. She could just take them out and experiment with them!
Just as she was thinking about taking out the Purple-Gold Furnace, the door in her courtyard was kicked down by someone!
In her eyes, killing intent flashed by. She put away the"Hundred Ways of Refinement Scroll", got up and went outside.
Dong Ling had already opened the door. She only saw Concubine Xue walking in with a few strong guards and maids. Xiao Yun had also followed them in. When Xiao Yun saw her, hatred and bitter resentment immediately appeared on her face.
"What is the Concubine doing?" Dong Ling asked as she walked to the middle of the courtyard. With one hand, she blocked the group of people.
Huang Bei Yue was about to tell Dong Ling to come back when Concubine Xue raised her hand and slapped Dong Ling. Dong Ling immediately fell down and her face became swollen.
"You lowly thing! Who allowed you to block my path?" Concubine Xue shouted loudly,
Bang——
A flower vase flew over from the door, hitting Concubine Xue's head. Concubine Xue let out a miserable shriek. Fresh blood flowed down from her forehead as she fell onto the floor.
"Mother!" Xiao Yun screamed. After that, she lifted her head in fury and glared at Huang Bei Yue, "Huang Bei Yue, are you tired of living?"
"The people who are tired of living is you. Dong Ling is my maid. Who allowed you to hit her?" Huang Bei Yue's cold gaze swept across them. Her manner was imposing and very serious. Xiao Yun, without any reason, began to tremble.
If Concubine Xue didn't hit Dong Ling, she could've endured it. But she just doesn't like it when other people bully her people!
Xiao Yun couldn't endure this anger. She opened her mouth and the ice feather immediately appeared on her hand. The cold air was threatening. The entire courtyard immediately became cold.
A sinister expression flashed on her face. She maliciously said: "It seems that you're getting more and more daring. If I don't teach you a lesson, then you will no longer know what the rules are!"
Huang Bei Yue coldly stared at her. Her eyes were full of irony.
"Second miss." Dong Ling covered her face, got up from the ground, and wiped away the tiny stream of blood on the corner of her mouth. She slowly walked next to Huang Bei Yue and stood on the stone steps. Dong Ling looked down at them.
"My young miss was personally bestowed the title of Princess Bei Yue by the Emperor. If you guys dare to hurt her, then it means that you are looking down on the Emperor."
"I——" Xiao Yun wanted to talk but she was grabbed by Concubine Xue. The maids were busy cleaning the bloodstain on Concubine Xue's forehead. Concubine Xue coldly laughed.
"I didn't see you for one day and the third miss had changed a lot, even I don't recognize you."
