Chapter 38: The Jealousy Of Shi Yun (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"It’s true!"
Ling Xi then told Ling Yi what had transpired.
As he listened to the story, Ling Yi’s face soon turned unsightly, "Gu Ruoyun is incredibly lucky to be alive. However, my heart won’t be at peace until she dies! This time, I’m afraid that General Gu has made a mistake in letting that woman leave the Gu family. It’s their loss indeed! It’s a pity that a girl like her wasn’t born into my Ling family and she’d even incurred our hatred. Since that’s the case, I’ve got no choice but to order her death."
Even though Gu Ruoyun’s strength is still relatively weak now, he has a feeling that one day, her growth would be unstoppable.
If only she had been the Ling family’s daughter, he would definitely have trained her properly. What a waste...
Ling Xi shook his head in disappointment at the thought: "Xi’er, if we haven’t become her enemies, I’d really hoped that you would marry her. Though I did think of her as a good-for-nothing at the beginning, when we were at the Heavenly Spirit Formation I could feel that she wasn’t the hopeless case we had thought she was. However, it would be impossible to get back into good terms with her so I can only let her die."
"But grandfather, what should we do?" Ling Xi paused before asking.
Just as Ling Yi was contemplating on how to defeat Gu Ruoyun, a voice sounded from outside the door, "Master, the eldest daughter of the Weapon Refining Sect’s Master has come to visit."
"The eldest daughter of the Weapon Refining Sect’s Master?"
Ling Yi’s mouth opened in surprise. There really wasn’t a reason for this visit and he can’t think of why the eldest daughter would suddenly want to meet him.
To be frank, any ordinary person, such as General Gu, would be ecstatic if they were to hear that someone from the Weapon Refining Sect was paying them a visit. However, that wasn’t the case for Ling Yi. He understood his own capabilities so it was impossible for the eldest daughter of the Weapon Refining Sect to visit without having some other motive for him.
But he can’t think of any way that he could be of use to the Weapon Refining Sect.
"Quick, let her in."
Ling Yi replied hurriedly after composing himself.
Just as the order was given, a person dressed in white glided into the room. Her black, silky hair cascaded down like a waterfall and her captivating beauty was suffocating.
"Master Ling, Shi Yun had come uninvited and I hope that you would pardon my intrusion."
There was a gentle smile on Shi Yun’s face and her presence was like a comfortable soft breeze. She may be the eldest daughter of the Weapon Refining Sect’s Master but there wasn’t an ounce of arrogance on her. This made everyone involuntary want to get closer to her.
"Since Lady Shi Yun has said so, I do not feel imposed upon." Ling Yi immediately stood up and faced her, "I’m just unclear what directive Lady Shi Yun might have for me today?"
"It’s not a directive to be exact but I heard that there’s an upcoming duel between the Young Master of the Ling family and Gu Ruoyun. Is that true?" Shi Yun chuckled softly as a pair of beautiful eyes swept towards Ling Xi who was standing beside Ling Yi.
Her look almost charmed Ling Xi as he stared lewdly at Shi Yun’s body.
Shi Yun was disgusted when she saw the other’s perverted eyes but her face didn’t show it. She laughed gently as she said, "I have a new technique that can immediately increase Ling Xi’s capacity to the level of a Martial Warrior. Hopefully, with this, he can defeat Gu Ruoyun."
It was widely known that the Qi Collection ranks was a preparatory stage for beginners to strengthen themselves before they can reach the Martial Warrior rank. Only after breaking through the eighth level in the Qi Collection rank and attaining the lowest level of a Martial Warrior would they be officially considered to be on the path to becoming a cultivator.
Once he heard what Shi Yun was offering, Ling Xi’s heart squeezed and the look in his eyes changed from amazement to surprise.
If he could break through to the first stage of a Martial Warrior then Gu Ruoyun, that lowlife, would definitely have to kneel and call him grandfather!
