Chapter 11: Turning Black into White
While Li Moyun was not able to sense the typical subtleties between women, he could sense that things were not as he had expected, and his face turned dark.
When he saw Bai Rouyun's facial expression showing disdain and mocking as she looked at him, he felt his heart clench. What did she think that'd make her look at him like this?
"Qing Yi, Qing Er, this woman is your Madam. She is the Mistress of the Yun Palace and the Mistress of the Eternal Shadow Palace."
Hearing Li Moyun mention the Eternal Shadow Palace, Bai Rouyun was somewhat stunned. She knew of the Eternal Shadow Palace; it was an upstart faction when she died.
While Bai Rouyun was surprised over the real identity of Li Moyun, the twin sisters were stunned to hear how determined their master was on this woman.
The red-dressed, alluring woman glared at Bai Rouyun, her eyes bursting with anger as she looked at her.
"Master, such… such a woman is not worthy of yourself!"
Hearing her words, the mockery within Bai Rouyun's eyes turned denser. It was clear that this woman had ulterior motives towards Li Moyun.
Having such a woman by his side, if he was her real husband, she would never approve of it, and seeing the hate-filled eyes of this Qing Er, she sneered.
Maybe she should leave the Yun Palace after all. She would be lying if she said that Li Moyun had not touched her heart a little, but it was nothing more than a favorable impression, and this had vanished entirely now.
Li Moyun's face also turned dark at Qing Er's words. She was a mere servant, how dare she insult the Madam of the palace?
"She is more than worthy of this lord," Li Moyun said with a cold voice. "Who are you to think that you can determine which woman this Lord has by his side? Bai Rouyun is my wife, and the only woman that this Lord will admit to being his woman!"
Hearing this, the faces of all three women changed drastically.
Where Qing Er's face turned pale, Bai Rouyun frowned. She had not known Li Moyun for a long time, how could he make such a vow so carelessly. Even so, she felt her heart flutter slightly.
"Vixen!" Qing Er jumped at Bai Rouyun, a yellow hue gathering around her palm. Clearly, she was at the innate realm and the yellow stage.
Looking at this woman who seemed to be around twenty years old, but who already was at the yellow stage of the Innate realm, Bai Rouyun felt surprised.
It was no wonder that the Eternal Shadow Palace had been able to shoot to fame with such talented individuals.
Although the woman was many times stronger than her and would be able to squeeze her to death with a simple pinch, for some reason, Bai Rouyun was not scared at all.
When the woman was a meter away from her, Li Moyun acted. His eyes were cold like a millennium-old glacier, and a violet light shone on his hands as he met her fist with his own.
A resounding boom exploded in the study room, and Qing Er was sent flying backward, blood spurted out of her mouth making her look as pale as a sheet.
The resounding bang caused the shadow guards who were on guard outside to enter the study room in shock, only to see that Qing Er was lying lifelessly on the floor, her bones broken, and blood seeping out of the corner of her mouth and her ears.
The shadow guards saw a fading violet light shrouding the palm of Li Moyun, and they instantly knew that the one who had made a move was their Lord.
But why would their Lord act against one of his most ardent admirers? There was only one answer to that, and that was that it had something to do with Bai Rouyun.
Ever since this Bai Rouyun had appeared, their Lord seemed much more ruthless in his actions of defending her.
Seeing that her sister was suffering grievous injuries, Qing Yi instantly went on her knees in front of Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun. Her eyes flashed with a strange cunningness, but before anyone could see it, she had hidden her emotions again.
"Madam, please be forgiving!" Qing Yi said. "Madam, I am aware that Qing Er was a bit brazen with her words, but to punish her like this, is it not too much? Qing Er is a stalwart servant under the Lord, I can understand you feeling uncomfortable with my sister and I being close to his Lord, but she has already suffered so much, be magnanimous and let her go!"
Bai Rouyun turned livid with anger, but her expression displayed nothing. She just glanced at the many shadow guards who were hoodwinked by Qing Yi's words.
They all looked at Bai Rouyun as if she was jealous of Qing Yi and Qing Er, wanting to get rid of them because she did not wish for pretty women to come close to Li Moyun.
Unfortunately for Qing Yi, Bai Rouyun was no longer a useless waste, and the smile on her face increased a bit.
"Do you think she has been punished enough?" she asked, cocking her head slightly.
"Yes," Qing Yi said with gritted teeth and looked at Li Moyun begging.
"When she slandered me in front of my husband, did she consider that slandering me is the same as slandering her Lord?" Bai Rouyun asked casually, her words causing everyone to be stunned.
This Qing Er had slandered Bai Rouyun? Were things different from what Qing Yi had said?
