Chapter 64: The Duel That Turned The Tide (5)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Ruoyun paused a while before continuing, "I am very interested in the healing art. I hope that I could come and have a look when the ghost doctor shows up to treat the illness."

"This...." The middle-aged man hesitated for a while before he spoke again, "I'm not in a position to make a decision about this. I would have to ask permission from the ghost doctor first. Although the ghost doctor has quite a good skill, his temper can be a little peculiar. If he was fond of somebody, he’d heal that person without even asking for one gold coin as payment. However, if he didn't like that person, he would never bother to treat him at all even if a whole country was given to him as a repayment."

"It's alright, just inform me when the time comes."

Fondling her chin, Gu Ruoyun gave a sinister smile.

When she first came to the West Spirit Mainland, she had also heard of the reputation of the ghost doctor before. If she could manage to take him into the Devil Sect, she would not have to worry anything about medical field anymore...

"Master, your smile is a little terrifying."

A cold shiver ran down the Mo Yu's spine. Why did she have a feeling that master was going to do something bad?

"Xun Feng, Mo Yu, let's go!"

Gu Ruoyun did not take offense about what Mo Yu said at all. She shrugged her shoulders and gave her final word before she turned and left the house.

Watching the slender silhouette slowly disappeared, Ling Yu couldn't help clenching her pink fists together, stressing each syllabus as she said, "Gu Ruoyun, I'll let you be arrogant this time! Wait till big brother’s done with his cultivation, you’ll then meet with your death sentence!"

Ling household.

Inside the secret room, the young man who was sitting cross-legged at first slowly opened his eyes where a glimpse of dark light flashed past.

"I finally succeeded in cultivating the secret technique that Lady Shi Yun passed on to me and right now, it’s finally the time for me to get my revenge! Just you wait and see, Gu Ruoyun! I will defeat you in front of everybody in just two days time! Then, I'll finally pay off old scores!

...

In regards to the plans of the Ling family, Gu Ruoyun obviously had no clue at all. Recently, she had been so busy that she did not have time left to even pay the slightest attention to them.

"That's right, Elder Yu. Has Dongfang young master left yet?"

As if recalling something in her mind, Gu Ruoyun turned her head towards Elder Yu and asked.

Nodding his head, Elder Yu's eyes were filled with concern. "Something has happened to the Dongfang family. Young master has been summoned by the master to go back home."

"Something has happened?" Gu Ruoyun knitted her brows together, asking, "What's happened to the Dongfang family? Also, is the Weapon Refining Sect still in Azure Dragon Country?"

Every time she met with Dongfang Shaoze, she would always feel a sense of warmth and friendliness. Naturally, she would not want anything bad to happen to him.

"That's right."

Elder Yu laughed out grimly, "Not only that, the spies of the Weapon Refining Sect always comes to the entrance of the Gu family household to scoop for news. It seems like they will not give up until they’ve achieved their purpose. It's so unfortunate that the Dongfang family has met with such mishap, otherwise, they wouldn’t have let the Weapon Refining Sect off easily."

Gu Ruoyun said while shaking her head, "There's no need for Dongfang Shaoze's subordinate to take action. You see, I don't like to rely on others."

Opening his mouth like he was going to say something, but Elder Yu paused before he closed his mouth again eventually.

A few days after.

The entire Azure Dragon Country was shaken by a piece of news.

"Did you hear about it? The young master of the Ling family, Ling Xi, plans to have a duel with the loser who got kicked out of the Gu family two days later! On top of that, the judge will be no other than the master warriors from the Weapon Refining Sect."

"It is said that this duel was set by both parties a few months before, but it seems like somehow it got called off again. Perhaps it was Gu Ruoyun who chickened her way out. I can't believe that she has the guts to accept the challenge again!"

"This time, the news was released by the Ling family. Both of them have even made a promise that if Gu Ruoyun lost the duel, Hundred Herb Hall's ownership would be passed on to the Ling family from now onwards! I wonder why did the manager of the Hundred Herb Hall agree to such conditions? It is an obvious fact that they’re giving away the Hundred Herb hall just like that. That Gu Ruoyun was nothing more than a servant of the hall. How is it worth it to agree to that kind of promise for her sake?"

Right now, in the Great Hall of the Ling family, Elder Ling was looking at Ling Xi with his brows knitted together. Feeling a sense of discontentment, he said, "I know that you are worried about Gu Ruoyun refusing to accept your challenge right now, which is why you’ve purposely spread the rumor about her accepting the duel! However, the Hundred Herb Hall is not of ordinary! With such a lies of yours, you could easily piss off the forces behind the Hundred Herbal Hall!"

With a shady smile on his face, Ling Xi said, "Grandfather, please don't forget that the Weapon Refining Sect is our backup force! Besides that, haven’t you always wanted to obtain the Hundred Herb Hall for yourself? This is a good opportunity! I’ve already let the words out. It doesn't matter whether the commoners believe it or not. If the Hundred Herb Hall dares to step out to clear the rumors, they will only be looked down upon by the others!"

Recalling the valuable medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herb Hall, Elder Ling couldn't help but felt a leap in his heart. Dejectedly, he responded, "Do as you please then. However, you must succeed without fail in this duel!"

"Don't worry, grandfather. Now, I’m already in the level of Martial Warrior. Gu Ruoyun is just a mere Level four in the Qi Collection stage. She is definitely not my match!"

Ling Xi spoke with full confidence.

It had only been slightly over a month. Even if Gu Ruoyun was no longer a loser, there was absolutely no way she could make that much progress!

As for him, he had managed to become a real Martial Warrior in a mere one month...

…..

In the courtyard, Luo Yin, who had a face of full of freckles, was furious in anger. Exasperated, she looked at Gu Ruoyun.

"Gu Ruoyun, in two days time, you will have to duel it out with that asshole Ling Xi. How can you still have the heart to sunbathe right now? That old man of the Ling family is very cunning and sly. If he wasn’t certain of his success, he wouldn't have let his precious grandson go to the duel at all."

"Duel?" Squinting her mouth, Gu Ruoyun replied without much care, "The battle between Ling Xi and I has already ended a long time ago. He had already lost to me in the Heavenly Spirit Formation; that's why this duel can just be ignored now."

"How is that possible? The outside world is talking about the duel between you and Ling Xi that’s about to take place in two days time. They even used the Hundred Herb Hall as a leverage!"

Luo Yin's mouth was widely opened in astonishment. Did Gu Ruoyun not know a thing about the duel at all? What was actually happening right now?

Having heard this, Gu Ruoyun began to sit up, her bright eyes slowly darkened bit by bit. "I’ve been very busy these few days. I have absolutely no clue as to whatever that is happening outside. Tell me right now - what is this situation here?"

Seeing clearly that Gu Ruoyun was without a clue, Luo Yin blinked her eyes and proceeded to slowly tell her everything about the rumors that were spreading wildly outside.

Little by little, Gu Ruoyun's smiling face slowly became cold. After a long moment of silence, she spoke with a sneer, "Duel? This must be something that was thought of by Ling Xi. What a pity for him. He really shouldn't have involved the Hundred Herb Hall at all. However, since he had already done that, then I would have no idea choice but to give him a dose of his own medicine."

It seemed like before she could seek trouble with the Ling family, they had, by themselves come knocking on the door first.....

Two days later.

Outside of the Hundred Herb Hall, the place was fully packed with people. It was evidently clear that all of them were here to watch the duel between Gu Ruoyun and Ling Xi. Right at this moment, a loud sound was suddenly heard, prompting the crowds to clear a path and make way.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, Ling Xi slowly walked forwards. Compared to the arrogance he had back then, he now possessed an extra aura of foul and evil-foreboding air, gloomy and cold to the max.

"Gu Ruoyun, I know that you are inside the Hundred Herb Hall. Since it is now time for the battle that we have agreed on, why are you still not out yet to meet with me? Unless you have decided to flee at the very last minute?"

When Ling Xi walked up to the entrance of the Hundred Herb Hall, his feet came to a halt and his face a streak shady ferocious.

The disgrace and humiliation that she had brought him at one time would now be returned back to this bloody damned woman!
