Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Evil Gets Its Just Deserts (4)
Back then, the token of command over the military had been split into
two seals so that the Left General and Right General could act as a
check and balance for each other. However, this bastard actually dared
to betray him! Sinners couldn’t be left alive!
“As you will, Your Majesty.”
Old Man Gu’s heart lifted in delight. He quickly strode forward to receive
the military seal from General Luo. Looking at the two military seals in
his hands, he almost couldn’t hold back the urge to toss his head back in
laughter.
Luo Hongtian, we’ve been fighting for so many years, and you’ve finally
been defeated by my hand. You even lost because of this little brute,
haha! From now on, I’m the only general in Azure Dragon Country!
“General Luo, do you regret it?”
Gu Ruoyun looked at General Luo, who was still kneeling on the ground
on one knee, and asked in a light tone.
“Yun’er, I’m no longer General Luo. You can call me Uncle Luo from now
on,” General Luo forced a smile and said, “A man must keep to his word.
Even three years ago, I could tell that you were a remarkable person! I
was afraid that you would be a danger to Azure Dragon Country in the
www.asianovel.com
3
future, so I said that sort of thing back then. However, I also gave you
my promise that Uncle Luo would stand by your side if Azure Dragon
Country ever treated you unjustly first. Even though I’m a little reluctant
to let go of the military seal, what I really can’t let go of are the brothers
who braved the battlefields with me! I don’t regret my decision at all!”
“Haha!” Leng Wujing burst out into laughter when he heard General
Luo’s words. His eyes were spitting fire as he spoke, “It was Azure
Dragon Country that treated her unjustly first? Where have We let her
down? Luo Hongtian, do you mean to say that We have done wrong? No
one in this world can ever say that We’ve done wrong! No matter what
Imperial Concubine Ling has done, the only one who can hold her
accountable to any crimes is this emperor! Who do you think you are?!
General Gu, what are you waiting for? Take this woman in immediately!”
After he finished speaking, Old Man Gu waved his hand and gave a
single order: “Kill!” In an instant, all the soldiers charged towards Gu
Ruoyun, their murderous intent clear in their eyes.
The woman dressed in green stood in the middle of the encirclement

without any change in expression, casting an indifferent gaze upon the
men rushing towards her with raised weapons.
Boom!
Suddenly, a tremendous force burst forth from her surroundings and a

violent storm surged up from the ground. Without having any time to
react, the men within the storm’s reach were thrown up and away into
the air. Following that, the young woman’s domineering voice resounded
within the imperial gardens that were bathed in the light of the setting
sun.
“Let’s see who else dares to come at me!”
Leng Wujing had made a reasonable assumption. He thought that she

wouldn’t be able to face down an army, no matter how strong she had
gotten. There were more than ten thousand troops here; even if they all
went down, they would surely be able to exhaust her to the point of
www.asianovel.com
4
death.
However, he hadn’t thought that this woman would be even stronger

than he had expected.
If this kind of person wouldn’t submit as one of his subjects, then… she
could only die!
Imperial Concubine Ling retreated a few steps, watching Gu Ruoyun with

a pale face. She bit her lip, and her eyes filled with malice. This woman
just wouldn’t die! She’ll never be able to have a peaceful night’s sleep…
“Gu Ruoyun, I’m giving you one more chance to surrender. Otherwise,
don’t blame me for being rude!”
Old Man Gu’s expression was dark and sinister. He looked at Gu Ruoyun
with a sharp gaze.
Her dark hair sent flying from the strong winds around her, only
accentuated the domineering air on her face. She raised an eyebrow and
coldly said: “The Gu family… You won’t have to wait for too long. Once
I’m done with Imperial Concubine Ling, it’ll be your Gu family’s turn…”
“What a boast!” Old Man Gu sneered, “You had Elder Yu’s protection last
time, so I wasn’t able to kill you. Who do you think can protect you
now?”
Whoosh!
After saying so, Old Man Gu drew his weapon and dashed towards Gu
Ruoyun.

Chapter 202

He was an early stage martial general at the very least. Even if Gu

Ruoyun was also a martial general now, he could stand against her using
his years of experience. Together with over ten thousand troops, taking
down a little Gu Ruoyun wasn’t going to be a problem at all.
However, just as Old Man Gu was filled with confidence, Gu Ruoyun shot
a sideways glance at him…
With just that one glance, with a boom, he felt a tremendous force wash
over his mind, causing him to lose consciousness. Following that,
another burst of power came from in front of him. His elderly body
refused to listen to his commands and fell back, landing within the mass
of troops.
Old Man Gu, who had considered himself unparalleled in Azure Dragon
Country, had just been taken out with a single blow from a young
woman?
Leng Wujing’s fists were clenched. His palms were covered in cold
sweat, while his handsome and imposing countenance was currently
displaying his panic. If this woman could defeat Old Man Gu with just one
blow, then it proved that her power was on a whole other level.
“How… How could this be…?”
www.asianovel.com
6
The old man finally recovered his senses; his face contorted into a fierce
expression. He had been defeated by the once good-for-nothing in such
a public place with so many witnesses. How was he going to live this
down?
However, upon thinking of that terrifying power that had erupted so

suddenly from that woman, Old Man Gu no longer dared to act blindly
without thinking…
It was at this moment that the sound of footsteps rang out from not too
far away. When everyone turned to look, they saw an anxious Elder Yu
leading a group of people from Hundred Herb Hall towards them.
When Leng Wujing saw those people, he felt a burst of delight in his
heart. He had been at a loss on how to end this fiasco. Since the people
from Hundred Herb Hall had come, he could get them to punish their
subordinate! Since Gu Ruoyun was someone that Hundred Herb Hall had
trained, she would have to obey orders from Hundred Herb Hall, no
matter what.
However, Elder Yu didn’t even wait for him to speak before striding
towards Gu Ruoyun and anxiously asking: “Eldest Miss, are you alright?”
Eldest Miss?
Everyone present turned dumbstruck, let alone Leng Wujing.
If they hadn’t heard wrongly, the martial king Elder Yu had just called Gu
Ruoyun Eldest Miss?
“I’m fine,” Gu Ruoyun shook her head and said, “Elder Yu, take care of
things here from now on. Furthermore, it seems like Azure Dragon
Country needs a change of emperors. If you have any good candidates,
just help him rise to the throne.”
“Yes, Eldest Miss.”
Elder Yu made a cupped fist salute as he replied respectfully.
Right then and there, looking at the indifferent Gu Ruoyun, Old Man Gu’s
www.asianovel.com
7
expression stiffened. His entire body started trembling as he shook his

head, his face as pale as ash: “Don’t tell me that she wasn’t just given a
place in Hundred Herb Hall because of Elder Yu’s sympathy back then…
but… she was already Elder Yu’s master? How did Gu Ruoyun make a
martial king serve her? The heavens are really blind! An unfilial woman
like her is the greatest outrage and should be struck to death by
lightning!”
He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe everything happening right in

front of him. If this was real… he would fall apart!
“You dare!?”
Leng Wujing recovered from his earlier shock and gritted his teeth:
“What power does your Hundred Herb Hall have to remove this
emperor’s seat? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll violate the law?”
Gu Ruoyun smiled in the middle of the crowd, her green clothes

fluttering in the breeze, haughty humour showing clearly in her pupils.
Actually, before coming to the imperial palace, she had already sent
Shopkeeper Zhao with instructions for Elder Yu.
Furthermore, since her wings were fully fledged now, it was time to let
others know that she was the owner of Hundred Herb Hall! To let those
people know that they shouldn’t try to eye her possessions… She
wanted to make Old Man Gu realise what a big mistake he had made
back then.

Chapter 203

Three years had passed. During these three years, she had continued to
develop her organisations. It was about time to put an end to
everything…
“Yunyao, Tianqiong!”
The young woman raised her head and spoke in an indifferent tone:
“Settle this matter together with Hundred Herb Hall!”
When she finished speaking, two bright lights shot up into the sky; white
and blue twining together before they finally burst out to reveal two
figures.
The moment Imperial Concubine Ling saw the Azure Dragon dominating
the sky above, her expression completely changed. She had thought
that Gu Ruoyun was still living because the Azure Dragon had reneged
on their promise. She couldn’t have imagined that the Azure Dragon had
been subdued by Gu Ruoyun.
No!
She covered her mouth and retreated a few steps. Shock and despair
shone in those beautiful eyes of hers.
Gu Ruoyun sensed her movements and smiled, “That’s right, I haven’t

thanked you yet. If it hadn’t been for you, Yunyao and Tianqiong
www.asianovel.com
9
wouldn’t have been able to reunite with each other, and I wouldn’t have
gotten such a great assistant!”
Although the Azure Dragon’s power was gone, he was still pretty useful
in intimidating others. When the people in the imperial palace saw the
enormous dragon in the sky, blocking out the sun, they were scared
silly. Who would dare to make any move after seeing that?
“The Azure Dragon, Tianqiong?”
Leng Wujing’s face turned pale. If he hadn’t heard wrongly, Gu Ruoyun

had called this blue dragon Tianqiong.
“The Azure Dragon, Tianqiong. This emperor has read of it in ancient

texts before. From what I read, it’s supposed to be extremely strong.
Anyone controlling it will surely become a ruler of the mainland!”
A ruler of the mainland is on a completely different level from an

emperor of a single country. Only an expert can make everyone on the
mainland submit to them!
However, what had he just done? For the sake of a moment of pride, he
had made an enemy out of this person?
He made a mistake! A really bad mistake!
Someone who could make Tianqiong serve them willingly was probably
protected by the god of luck. Someone like that would surely stand at
the peak of all humans, and he had just made a vain attempt to kill her
to protect his imperial dignity…
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have tried to keep his dignity or
his imperial might!
Actually, Leng Wujing couldn’t be blamed for his actions. Gu Ruoyun had
charged directly for the imperial palace after subduing the Azure Dragon
at the Ling estate. The news couldn’t possibly have reached him in time.
How could he have known that the Azure Dragon Tianqiong had become
the young woman’s mount?
www.asianovel.com
10
Of course, the one who was in even greater regret was Imperial
Concubine Ling.
If she hadn’t requested for the great Azure Dragon to kill this woman,
she wouldn’t have been able to subdue him… But she still couldn’t
understand one thing: why did the great and proud Azure Dragon submit
to such a malicious woman?
“Do you hate me?”
Gu Ruoyun gazed upon Imperial Concubine Ling’s features, twisted in

poisonous hatred, and started to smile, “What a pity. All you can do is
hate me. There are so many others who hate me, I don’t mind adding
one more! Elder Yu, take care of the rest. I don’t want to see her alive,
and I don’t want her to die easy.”
After saying so, she turned and walked to Luo Hongtian’s side. She
paused for a moment before speaking up: “Uncle Luo, what do you
intend to do next?”
Luo Hongtian smiled bitterly: “I can’t stay in Azure Dragon Country

anymore. I’ll just take each day as it comes from now on.”
Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment: “I wonder if Uncle Luo would be

willing to help me with something?”
“I can help you with anything you need.”
Luo Hongtian smiled. He thought that Gu Ruoyun would send him to

Hundred Herb Hall for some tasks. He didn’t know that the young
woman had intended to send him somewhere else.
“That’s right. Girl, can I ask something? What’s your cultivation rank
now?”
When she heard this question, Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose and said: “I
managed to break through into the peak stage of martial general last
night, by a stroke of luck.”
Following that, under Luo Hongtian’s dazed stare, she walked out of the
www.asianovel.com
11
palace gates with quick strides…

Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Retribution (1)
“Have you heard? The real master of Hundred Herb Hall is actually that
good-for-nothing who was kicked out of the Gu Family, Gu Ruoyun!”
“Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that the weak girl from three years
ago would reach this point in the blink of an eye? I wonder how much
the Gu Family is regretting their decision now! Haha, in three years’
time, she broke through and became a martial general from a lowly Qi
level 2. Surely, even Gu Tian wasn’t a genius of this caliber.”
“That’s nothing. I was actually outside the Ling Estate that day and I saw
that stunning scene with my own eyes. Have you seen that White Tiger
before? She was so fast and strong! And that Azure Dragon dominated
half the sky! Those great spiritual beasts are under her command! Even
though Gu Tian was a genius back then, his achievements can’t be
compared to those of his daughter…”
Ever since that incident, Gu Ruoyun’s name resounded throughout Azure

Dragon Country. Of course, in contrast to the title of good-for-nothing
she had three years ago, she was now the model that parents wanted
their children to follow after…
Right now, within Azure Dragon Country, you could be forgiven if you
didn’t know the emperor’s name. However, if you said you had never
heard of Gu Ruoyun before, then everyone would look down upon you!
www.asianovel.com
13
How could you claim to be a citizen of Azure Dragon Country if you have
never even heard of her?
Who else would dare to publicly challenge the Dark Yin Palace?
Furthermore, who else would dare to charge into the imperial palace and
remove the emperor just like that? Even if they had the power to do so,
they wouldn’t have her daring.
Not only that, everyone heard that Gu Ruoyun had flown into a terrible
rage because Imperial Concubine Ling had sent assassins after her and
hurt her servant girl instead. In the end, Gu Ruoyun had disregarded all
consequences in pursuit of revenge for the servant girl! For the sake of
avenging the grudge!
At this moment, within the Gu Estate, Gu Panpan’s pretty face contorted

as she listened to the servants discussing the events of the day. She
gripped her sleeves firmly and gritted her teeth so tightly that she
almost ground them down to dust.
“All of you, shut up right now!”
With anger clearly showing in her eyes, she said viciously, “I’ll make
sure that the next person to speak the words ‘Gu Ruoyun’ again will
suffer a most horrible death! No matter how great her achievements are
now, she’ll always be someone that our Gu Family kicked out!”
All the servants fell silent in a moment. Frightened, they stood to one
side and didn’t dare to utter another peep.
However, rage was still brewing in Gu Panpan’s heart, and she needed
an outlet for the flames of her anger. These servants had, unfortunately,
walked right into the fire.
“And don’t forget, back then, all of you also took part in bullying Gu
Ruoyun when Gu Shengxiao wasn’t here! Now that she’s famous, you
guys are done for. So I don’t want to hear any praise for her coming out
of your mouths! If you want to talk about her again, you must call her a
good-for-nothing like before!”
www.asianovel.com
14
She couldn’t accept it!
She really couldn’t accept it. How did someone, who had been a good-
for-nothing three years ago, reach a point where she had to look up to
them?!
The heavens were so unfair! An immoral woman like Gu Ruoyun, who

had even harmed her own grandfather, should be struck by lightning
and put to death!
When Gu Ruoyun had charged into the imperial palace, Old Man Gu had
led a hundred thousand men there for support. After the incident, he
had been captured by Elder Yu and taken away. There had been no sight
of his return even until now. With the main pillar of their Gu Family gone,
how could she remain calm?
A light breeze blew by. Hidden by dense foliage at the top of an ancient
tree in the courtyard, a figure in black stood on a branch, his clothes
fluttering gently in the wind. Sunlight fell upon his black mask, reflecting
a cold, cruel light.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, his lips pressed together.
As his grim gaze fixed upon the young girl throwing a tantrum in the
courtyard below, a glint of murderous intent flashed through his eyes…
He couldn’t have imagined that so much would happen after he had left
for some other business just a few days ago.
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 205

Imperial Concubine Ling…
Upon thinking of the woman who had started off the whole chain of
events, the man’s eyes darkened. It was her fortune to have died so
quickly before he had come back, otherwise he would definitely have
made her experience hell on earth!
However, the Gu Family didn’t share her fortune!
As the man recalled everything that the Gu Family had done these few
years, his cold and cruel eyes narrowed slightly. Underneath the mask,
there was a harsh expression on his handsome face.
In the next moment, while Gu Panpan was in the middle of cursing Gu

Ruoyun, she suddenly saw a black flash as countless punches rained
down upon her…
“He-”
-lp…
Before she could even finish shouting for help, she had already been
beaten up to the point that she couldn’t even speak.
It was as if all the bones in her body had been shattered, then
reconstructed so she could suffer the pain all over again. That vicious
www.asianovel.com
16
cycle repeated again and again, it hurt so much that she wanted to die…
The servants weren’t able to call for help either; their visions turned
black and they all fainted.
“I wanted to kill you at first, but it’s not up to me to end your Gu

Family’s lives. You have to return what you owe to her. This is simply the
interest I’m collecting for her.”
The man had impeccable control over his strength. He made Gu Panpan
hover on the edge of life and death, but didn’t let her faint. Conversely,
her mind was extremely clear while she was suffering all that pain; she
desperately wished for the torture to pass quickly.
Just as she felt like a century had passed, the man finally withdrew his
fists when she hit her limit. Immediately following that, freed from the
torment, Gu Panpan finally fainted away…
……
Meanwhile, as the culprit behind the incidents that were now the talk of
the nation, Gu Ruoyun didn’t pay the slightest attention to all the
clamour and disputes. Everyday she did nothing but cultivate, refusing
to meet any visitors.
Of course, the evildoer Fourth Prince was no exception to this and

suffered many doors slammed in his face.
However, just as Gu Ruoyun was intending to continue passing her days

by cultivating, some news finally came from the assassin from the Cool
Breeze Faction, Li Cheng, via soul telepathy.
“Master, I’ve been watching Second Master Gu recently because I

overheard a conversation that Second Master Gu had with Second
Madam Gu. They were talking about how a strong expert took a liking to
Gu Shengxiao’s root of wisdom back then, and how he wanted to take
Gu Shengxiao away. However, Gu Tian and his wife didn’t agree. That
expert held a grudge against them and tasked Second Master Gu with
killing them! He also wanted Second Master Gu to send Gu Shengxiao to
www.asianovel.com
17
him. Unfortunately, Second Master Gu wasn’t able to complete his

mission. Recently, he’s been thinking of a new scheme. He wants to
send a message to Gu Shengxiao saying that you’ve gotten in trouble to
lure him back here, so that he can hand Gu Shengxiao over to that
expert…”
Bang!
A wave of rage burst out from within Gu Ruoyun’s heart. Currently, she
had an extremely cold and callous expression on her face; a storm was
brewing within her clear pupils.
She could tolerate whatever the Gu Family tried to do except when they
tried to hurt her kin!
Second Master Gu had not only caused her parents’ death, but was now
trying to use her to lure her brother out. No matter what, she wouldn’t
let their sinister plans succeed!
“The Gu Family… I wanted to let you live for a while more, but
unfortunately…”
Gu Ruoyun sneered, ridicule brimming in the tilt of her lips: “You were
the ones who came looking for your own deaths!”
In her past life, she hadn’t been able to protect her mother, and had
watched as her precious little brother died before her very eyes! In this
life, she absolutely would not let herself repeat the mistakes of her past!
Anyone who dared to touch her family should be prepared to suffer her
blood-soaked vengeance in return!
“Li Cheng, wait over there. I’ll come right now.”
Murderous intent gathered around Gu Ruoyun’s body. However, before

she could set off, a sharp call sounded from outside the compound.
“Gu Ruoyun, you son of a bitch! Get out here right now! Even if he
wasn’t your grandfather, how could you treat an elderly man this way?
Do you have any conscience left in you? Has your conscience been
www.asianovel.com
18
eaten by the dogs? You little bastard, aren’t you afraid that the heavens
will strike you to death by lightning once they find out what you’ve
done? Your grandfather should have strangled you to death at birth, you
little bastard!”
www.asianovel.com
19
Chapter 206

Outside the compound amidst a noisy crowd, a middle-aged man

watched angrily as a young woman slowly strode out from the backyard.
His eyes were spitting fire, but he still didn’t dare to take a single step
into the compound.
Even the Dark Yin Palace hadn’t been able to crack the formation. He
didn’t have the guts to try it out for himself.
At this moment, Wei Yiyi was gazing coldly upon the jumping clown in
front of her. A mocking smile was held on her crimson lips, as if she was
completely looking down on the man…
When Wei Yiyi turned and caught sight of the calm Gu Ruoyun slowly
walking over, she raised her eyebrows and walked towards Gu Ruoyun,
“Shifu, leave this matter to me. I’ve disliked the blinded Gu Family for a
long time now!”
Luckily she had eyes, unlike the Gu Family. She had started following Gu
Ruoyun early on. Perhaps when the time came, her revenge would be
just around the corner…
“Gu Ruoyun, you little bastard. You took away your grandfather! You’re
immoral! Even if your grandfather made some mistakes, he’s still your
elder. You have to give in to him. But what did you do? Don’t forget, you
wouldn’t exist without your grandfather, you little bastard. I’ve never
seen such an ungrateful brat like you before. Aren’t you afraid that the
www.asianovel.com
20
heavens will strike you where you stand?”
Second Master Gu’s scoldings echoed in the courtyard.
Gu Ruoyun paused her steps and looked calmly at Second Master Gu,
her lips tilted into a smile. However, her eyes remained cold, and a layer
of frosty air seemed to exude from her expression.
“Grandfather?” She sneered, “Is he fit for such a title? Back then, he

beat me to death for the sake of an outsider, even though I had done no
wrong. It was then that he lost all right to be called my grandfather! In
particular, I’m no longer associated with you after I left the Gu Family.”
When she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and the aura
exuding from her body surrounded Second Master Gu. With a distinct
and indifferent tone, she asked, “If he was my grandfather, why did he
place all blame on me even though I was clearly innocent? Why would
he have had me beaten to death? If he was my grandfather, knowing
that the Weapon Refining Sect wanted to take my life, why did he try to
use his position as my elder to give me away to them? If he was my
grandfather, why would he have tried a thousand ways to kill me?!”
Second Master Gu froze in place. He knew that his father was the one in
the wrong in this matter, but even now, at this point in time, he was still
trying to use morals to force her to release Old Man Gu.
“Yun’er, your grandfather has gone senile in his old age. That’s why he
made such a mistake. Are you going to act the same way? No matter
what he has done wrong, his blood runs in your veins. Are you really not
going to let your grandfather go?”
At this moment, everyone was stunned silly by Second Master Gu’s lack
of shame. They hadn’t thought that the Gu Family would still try to bind
her with morals even now.
If Gu Ruoyun was only a weak orphan girl without any backing, she
would probably have been endlessly bullied and given up her life as
forfeit! However, using her own abilities, she had managed to make it to
www.asianovel.com
21
this point…
Gu Ruoyun smiled with a touch of wild arrogance, “I, Gu Ruoyun,

treasure my life very much! I’ll kill whoever tries to kill me first,
regardless of their identity! Furthermore, no matter what I’ve done, I’m
still better than you, someone who killed his brother with his own hands.
What right do you have to lecture me?”
Like he had been struck by lightning, Second Master Gu was stunned.
This girl knew that he had been the one to cause Gu Tian’s death? No!
That was impossible, no one knew that except for him and his wife!
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 207

She must be trying to trick him into revealing something. That’s right,
that must be it.
When he thought of that possibility, Second Master Gu calmed the

anxiety in his heart and said with a pale face: “What evidence do you
have? Why are you saying that I killed Older Brother? We were close
brothers, I couldn’t possibly have done something like that!”
“Is that so?”
Gu Ruoyun’s smile grew even more pronounced, but her clear pupils
remained as tranquil as a calm lake.
“Actually, I already knew that you had something to do with my parents’

deaths. I just didn’t know what motives were behind your actions.
However, I finally found out today… It was all because of my brother, Gu
Shengxiao. Someone wanted to take him, so you killed my parents! Gu
Qing, am I right?”
Gu Qing was Second Master Gu’s name. Upon hearing Gu Ruoyun’s

words, his expression changed completely. Shock and astonishment
warred within his gaze. However, he quickly recovered his composure
and spoke through gritted teeth: “I don’t know what you’re talking
about! Gu Ruoyun, you’ve really racked your brains to come up with a
reason to deal with my Gu family! You’re even able to spout such
nonsense! You’re shameless!”
www.asianovel.com
23
As long as he refused to admit it, it wouldn’t matter even if she knew

everything.
There couldn’t possibly be any evidence!
“Gu Qing, did you think I waited until now to bring this up, just to find
some evidence?” Gu Ruoyun looked up, her indifferent gaze focused on
Gu Qing’s ashen face. “You’re wrong. I waited until this day so that I
could find out how many people participated in this matter, to know
who’s innocent and who’s not. I also wanted to find out what kind of
grudge you had with my father to do something like this! Evidence?
When have I, Gu Ruoyun, ever needed evidence to do anything? I won’t
let off those that I have to kill! That’s right, I don’t have any evidence to
convince others, but so what? I only have to keep my conscience clear!”
The girl’s voice was calm, but it pierced deeply into everyone’s hearts.
Compared to the wretched Gu Qing, it was clear that everyone found it

easier to believe in Gu Ruoyun’s words.
So what if she didn’t have any evidence? As long as she did things with a
clear conscience, she didn’t need any evidence at all!
“I didn’t think that the Gu Family’s Gu Qing would be so malicious as to

act against his own brother! Tsk tsk. Someone like this even dared to
come to someone else’s home and lecture them on how to respect their
elders. Wasn’t Gu Tian his elder as well? A brother is like a second
father, hasn’t he practically committed patricide?”
“Gu Tian was such a genius back then, but he died such an untimely
death. He also became a deep regret in everyone’s hearts. If the Gu
Family still had Gu Tian, it wouldn’t have fallen to this level.
Furthermore, if Gu Tian were still here, even if Gu Ruoyun was still a
good-for-nothing, no one would have dared to mistreat her!”
“Hehe, the Gu Family already caused Gu Tian to die, and they still have
the cheek to ask for the release of Old Man Gu? I think Gu Ruoyun isn’t
in the wrong at all. Anyone who has blood running in their veins would
www.asianovel.com
24
definitely take revenge for their parents! On what basis has Gu Qing
come to disturb her?”
The crowd surrounding them broke out into fervent discussion. Their
gazes held undisguised disdain towards Gu Qing. Some of them even
spat at him, cursing at him.
Gu Tian was a hero in the hearts of many! However, a hero like that had
been brought down because he had trusted too heavily in his kin. He
had been killed by a wretched little nobody. How could they not be
angry?
“Don’t believe her, don’t believe her! What she’s saying isn’t true! It
isn’t!”
Gu Qing went crazy. His hair came undone and fell in a mess of strands
around his head. From underneath the fringe covering his face, his eyes
shone with a vicious light: “Gu Ruoyun, you’re a little bastard. You won’t
have an easy death! Hahaha! One day, the heavens will destroy a
scourge like you!”

Chapter 208

“Gu Qing, you want me to release Old Man Gu?” Gu Ruoyun smiled with
a sinister look in her eyes, “I can do as you ask right now and let him go.
I just hope you don’t regret it. Wei Yiyi, send a message to Elder Yu and
tell him to release Old Man Gu!”
Wei Yiyi didn’t hesitate at all after receiving Gu Ruoyun’s orders,

because she knew that there would be a show to watch after Old Man Gu
returned home…
As for them, all they had to was sit and watch.
……
The Gu Estate was in a state of clamor.
Before he had even gotten the time to clean himself up, the sorry-
looking Old Man Gu was disturbed by angry shouts from outside.
“Hey, Gu Family! Are you intending to avoid facing the truth by holing
yourselves up in there? Call Gu Qing out now! He’s actually Gu Tian’s
killer! Gu Tian once helped this old man out, this old man is here to
demand justice for him!”
“It was a loss for all of us in Azure Dragon Country when a hero like Gu
Tian fell, and it was also a loss for the the entire mainland! The one who
caused this loss was that dog Gu Qing! He’s a sinner to all of Azure
www.asianovel.com
26
Dragon Country! If Gu Tian were still here, who would even dare to
invade our Azure Dragon Country? There wouldn’t be any wars!”
Ever since Gu Qing had fled in disarray, taking Old Man Gu along with
him, the events that happened outside the compound had spread like
fire. Under the direction of Hundred Herb Hall, some people who had
been good friends with Gu Tian immediately came knocking at the Gu
Family’s door.
These people all trusted more in Gu Ruoyun.
It would be an easy task for her to deal with the Gu Family with her
current strength. Furthermore, she was someone who wouldn’t listen to
reason at all, judging by how she had done things in the past! If she
wanted to kill someone, she would just kill them straightaway. Thus, with
her personality and her conduct, she couldn’t possibly be accusing the
Gu Family wrongly.
Furthermore, a tiny Gu Family wasn’t worth the trouble for her to do

such a thing.
Old Man Gu unconsciously froze in place. He had rushed back upon

leaving Hundred Herb Hall, so he didn’t know what the entire capital was
gossiping about right now. When he heard the words outside, he
immediately slapped Gu Qing. He roared in rage: “Gu Qing, you were the
one who caused the death of Tian’er?!”
Of course, Old Man Gu wasn’t someone who valued family very much, or
he wouldn’t have gotten some stranger’s corpse to impersonate Gu Tian.
He was angry because if Gu Tian hadn’t died, he would still be the elder
of the Gu Family, whom everyone would want to praise and flatter. How
would the Gu Family have fallen to this point if Gu Tian were still alive?
“Father, I’ve been wronged,” Gu Qing’s face turned ashen as he spoke

with grievance, “Elder Brother’s death had nothing to do with me. It was
Gu Ruoyun, she’s trying to drive a wedge between us. Father, it’s not
like you don’t know what kind of person she is, there’s nothing she won’t
www.asianovel.com
27
do.”
Others believed Gu Ruoyun for a few reasons. Firstly, her personality

was one that would quickly repay any debts of gratitude or grudges.
Secondly, it was because she was Gu Tian’s daughter. However, Old Man
Gu knew how cunning and deceitful she was. He could see that from how
she had tricked the Gu Family back then. Thus, she might really have
wrongly accused Qing’er.
“Father, Second Master, please save Panpan! They took Panpan away!”
It was at this moment that a portly middle-aged woman came running

in, weeping. She grabbed onto Gu Qing’s sleeve and said, “It was all you,
it was all your fault, you bastard! If it weren’t for you, the news that we
killed Gu Tian wouldn’t have spread, and those related to Gu Tian
wouldn’t have taken away Panpan for his sake! If anything happens to
my daughter, I won’t forgive you!”
Gu Qing had let out a sigh of relief, but upon hearing what Second
Madam Gu had said, his expression completely changed. His lips
trembled and he had the overwhelming urge to slap her to death.
www.asianovel.com
28
Chapter 209

“You fool! You stupid fool!”
It hadn’t been easy for him to clear his father’s misgivings, but now this
stupid woman had confessed everything just like that. He was done for.
This time, he was completely done for.
Actually, Second Madam Gu couldn’t be blamed for this. She hadn’t

followed Gu Qing when he went looking for Gu Ruoyun. Upon hearing
what the people outside were saying, she assumed that they had found
enough evidence somehow. Who would have thought that Gu Qing had
just shamelessly denied everything?
“Father, Father, don’t listen to this stupid woman’s nonsense! I…”
Smack!
Old Man Gu slapped him so hard that Gu Qing fell to the ground.
However, that wasn’t enough to quell his rage. Old Man Gu raised his leg
and started stomping on his body. With a vicious expression on his face,
it was as if the person on the ground wasn’t his very own son.
“You were the one who killed Tian’er, and the one who brought our Gu
Family down! If not for you, everyone would still be trying to curry favor
with me and fawning over me! If not for you, what would a little Hundred
Herb Hall be to us?! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you, you little
www.asianovel.com
29
bastard!”
Upon thinking of how he had once enjoyed such a high status and the
officials who had always been full of smiles when they saw him, Old Man
Gu’s heart trembled. How many years had it taken to get over his fall
from grace? However, now he was finding out that the one who had
caused his downfall was actually the son he had always trusted and
relied on.
This was unbearable to him.
“Dad, dad, please go and save Panpan! Those people will kill her!”
Second Madam Gu’s fat body moved in front of Old Man Gu and she
hugged his legs, her face covered in tears and snot. “Dad, please save
Panpan, she’s your granddaughter! Please hurry up and save her, she’s
just a child!”
“Scram!”
Old Man Gu kicked Second Madam Gu into the air away from him. Veins
were popping out from his temples, and his hands were tightened into
fists: “Don’t assume that I don’t know that you had something to do with
this too. The two of you have done very well, even daring to plot against
your own brother! Look what this has all come to. Gu Tian is gone, and
Gu Ruoyun won’t acknowledge the Gu Family. Once Gu Shengxiao finds
out about all this, he won’t forgive the Gu Family either. The three
geniuses in my Gu Family are all gone, hahaha! I’m just left with a bunch
of good-for-nothings like you!”
He regretted it…
Right now, Old Man Gu really regretted it.
If he hadn’t given up on Gu Ruoyun back then, even if Gu Tian had died

in Gu Qing’s hands, that would have nothing to do with him! He would
still be the highest authority in the Gu Family, and Hundred Herb Hall,
the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger would belong to their Gu Family…
www.asianovel.com
30
Who could have imagined that Gu Ruoyun would change so much in just
three years? From a lowly good-for-nothing, she had turned into
someone who could rule the mainland.
When he thought of this, tears of regret rolled down the old man’s
cheeks…
“There’s still Lin’er! That’s right, there’s still Lin’er!”
Second Madam Gu seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes

shone brightly: “Lin’er is the young master of the Cool Breeze Faction. If
the Cool Breeze Faction stands up for us, then the situation will be
different.”
The Cool Breeze Faction…
Gu Qing and Old Man Gu both thought of that power at the same time,
and unconsciously exchanged looks. The old man couldn’t help but calm
down from his tantrum.
“The Cool Breeze Faction is our last hope now. Where’s Lin’er? Where is
he now?”
Just as he finished speaking, an announcement rang out from outside

the estate. “This old man is an elder of the Cool Breeze Faction. I’m
under special orders from the Faction Master to meet the young master.
May I ask if the young master is present?”
“Someone from the Cool Breeze Faction?”
Joy burst forth in Gu Qing’s heart: “That’s great, the people from the
Cool Breeze Faction are here, we’re saved!”
Right now, Old Man Gu’s military powers had been taken away, so the
Cool Breeze Faction was their last remaining hope…

Chapter 210

When Old Man Gu walked out of the courtyard, the first thing he saw
was a grey-robed elder standing at the entrance. A group of young men
and women dressed in the same uniform were standing behind him.
With one glance, Old Man Gu could tell exactly which faction these
people belonged to.
“Gu Qing, bring Lin’er here, quickly!”
As he gave an order to Gu Qing, Old Man Gu also cast him a pointed

look.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing recovered his senses and walked towards
the backyard using quick, hasty strides. In just a moment, he strode
back into the courtyard, this time accompanied by a handsome young
man. However, that young man had a terrible expression on his face, his
wrinkled brows speaking of his heavy worries.
“Young Master, this old man is here under the orders of the Faction
Master to receive the pill formula. Young Master, you can pass the pill
formula to me now.”
Gu Xianglin’s expression turned even uglier. He glanced at Gu Qing, who

was standing at the side, and remained silent.
“Lin’er?” Old Man Gu frowned, “Pass the pill formula to this elder; it’ll be
www.asianovel.com
32
safer with him.”
He didn’t understand why Gu Xianglin had such a troubled expression on

his face. Hadn’t he gotten the pill formulas to curry favour with the Cool
Breeze Faction? Why was he hesitating?
“Grandfather, those two pill formulas…” Gu Xianglin finally hardened his

heart and said, “Father gave them away to someone else.”
While listening to Gu Xianglin, the visiting elder’s bright smile had slowly
began to stiffen. It finally cummulated in an instantaneous burst of rage,
welling up from the depths of his heart. From the very beginning, he had
been against letting an outsider become the Young Master of the Cool
Breeze Faction. Now that he heard that Gu Xianglin had actually given
the pill formulas away to someone else, how could he not be angry?
“Gu Xianglin, did you really think that your seat as our Cool Breeze
Faction’s Young Master was set in stone? If not for your talents and the
untimely demise of our Faction Master’s son, you wouldn’t have gotten
this position. However, when you found some treasures, instead of
giving them to the Faction Master as tokens of your filial respect, you
actually gave them away to some random stranger? Have you ever even
considered your position as the Young Master of the Cool Breeze Faction
and acted accordingly? You dare to enjoy the benefits of our faction
while giving away treasures to outsiders!”
The elder withheld nothing as he verbally flayed the skin off Gu

Xianglin’s back. With a sharp flick of his sleeves, he then said:
“Everyone, return to the faction with me! Gu Xianglin, you alone will stay
here. I’m going to report this matter to the Faction Master. You should
take care of yourself.”
After saying his piece, the elder turned and left without a single glance
back.
Old Man Gu was completely enraged. He picked up a wooden rod and

started beating Gu Qing with the intent to kill, shouting all the while.
www.asianovel.com
33
“You little bastard! First, you killed your brother, and now you even
forced your son to give the pill formulas away to someone else! If not for
you, how could this have happened? How could the Cool Breeze Faction
misunderstand the intentions of my Gu Family? It’s all your fault! If I
don’t beat you to death today, that’d be the real shame, you heartless
little bastard!”
Even though Old Man Gu’s vitality had taken a hit, he was still a martial
general. Under the blows of his rod, Gu Qing cried pitifully and tried to
escape anywhere he could.
However, his very own son, Gu Xianglin, watched on as if it had nothing

to do with him.
This man had just ruined his life!
How could he not hate him?
Since he was a child, he had been outshined by Gu Shengxiao in all

aspects, so he had always sworn to defeat him. All for the sake of this
goal, he had suffered many hardships in order to earn the trust of the
Cool Breeze Faction’s Faction Master and get taken in as a godson. He
had even managed to become the Young Master of a faction…
But now? All his hard work had been ruined in an instant, and he had
once again become a nobody!
“It’s gone. Everything’s all gone.”
Gu Xianglin shut his eyes, his expression wretched in agony. Even the
muscles on his face were twitching. “All my efforts over the years have
been ruined by you alone. Heh. If I had known earlier that this would
happen, I wouldn’t have listened to you that day! So this is what they
mean by losing your bride on top of losing your army!”

Chapter 211

Chapter 211: The Dongfang Family’s Call for Help (1)
Compared to the storm that they had weathered when Gu Tian had died,
this time, the events that had happened at the Gu Estate cast the Gu
Family into the heart of a calamity.
A few days ago, a group of people had reportedly charged into the Gu
Estate and taken Gu Panpan away. No one knew if she was dead or
alive, but regardless, she probably wasn’t in a very good situation right
now. Gu Qing, the murderer who had caused the deaths of Gu Tian and
his wife, had been personally killed by Old Man Gu, and it was rumoured
that he had died in agonising pain. Not a single person sympathised with
him; he had only himself to blame for his own downfall. However, the
fact that Old Man Gu had been the one to end him sent chills down the
spines of many.
That old fellow was heartless, even to his own kin.
Currently within the Gu Estate, Second Madam Gu was curled up into a

ball, trembling as she watched the white-haired Old Man Gu in terror.
Although Gu Xianglin hated Gu Qing to the bone, he still had a soft spot
for his mother. When Old Man Gu had attempted to kill Second Madam
Gu, he had held the old man back.
“Grandfather, we’re already in such dire circumstances. We should

discuss what we should do next,” Gu Xianglin said, his brows furrowed
www.asianovel.com
35
together.
Old Man Gu shut his eyes, clearly fatigued. He knew Gu Xianglin was
trying, but at this point…
He was tired. He was really tired. These past few days had aged him a
decade each. He had changed from a man brimming with vigour into a
dispirited shell…
“What should we do next, you ask? What can we do? The tenth prince
has already ascended to the throne with Elder Yu’s support. Most of our
supporters are already gone, and we’re probably going to be next….”
He understood Gu Ruoyun’s personality very well. She would never let

him off!
As grandfather and grandson were talking, a sound of gentle laughter

came from outside. “I’ve finally returned after three years. It seems like
a lot has changed in Azure Dragon Country. General Gu- ah, no, you’re
no longer a general. I wonder if you’ve made any progress on the task
I’ve given you.”
Old Man Gu froze on the spot. In the time it took for him to raise his
head, a man dressed in brocade robes had already walked in, his form
framed by the bright sunlight coming through the doorway.
That man could be described in four words: as mild as jade! The

combination of his natural beauty and gentle temperament softened
hearts and eased minds. It was impossible to hold any suspicion or ill will
towards him. However, upon seeing that jade-like face, Old Man Gu’s
expression changed for the worse.
“Dongfang Shaoze!”
The man who had made him look for Gu Ruoyun three years ago,
Dongfang Shaoze, had finally returned!
Furthermore, it was clear that he hadn’t come bearing good intentions!
“I’ve already heard of the recent events on the way here.” The man
www.asianovel.com
36
flipped open his fan and smiled as if he were discussing the weather. “So
the deaths of Gu Tian and his wife were caused by your Gu Family?”
As he spoke, Dongfang Shaoze’s gaze shifted to Second Madam Gu,

whose countenance was rapidly turning pale.
Second Madam Gu gritted her teeth and said, “Who allowed that bitch to
seduce Gu Tian?! I really wonder how an unparalleled hero like Gu Tian
could love a foxy woman like her! That woman was completely
shameless!”
She was going to end up dead anyway, so why hold back the rage and
dissatisfaction in her heart?
From her point of view, Liu Yu had no other merits other than being
extremely lucky! Gu Tian had to have really bad judgement to have
chosen a woman like her.
Dongfang Shaoze’s calm gaze flickered. Then, he smiled, cold eyes

pinning the fat woman in place. “Even if she wasn’t considered good
enough, did you think you would’ve been fit to stand by Gu Tian’s side?
And now, not only did your family cause the deaths of Gu Tian and his
wife, but you also almost killed Yun’er along with them. Back then, I
wanted to give you a little taste of revenge on the behalf of Yun’er, but
something urgent came up and I had to leave Azure Dragon Country.
Upon coming back, I found that Yun’er didn’t disappoint me and she
really discovered the culprits behind their murders!”
www.asianovel.com
37
Chapter 212

Old Man Gu stared. What did Young Master Dongfang mean by that?
Back then, he had ordered them to find Gu Ruoyun and had threatened
to massacre the Gu Family if they failed. Was he saying that… he had
done all that to help Gu Ruoyun vent some of her anger on them? No
wonder the door had always been shut in their faces when they tried to
invite Gu Ruoyun out of Hundred Herb Hall! So Dongfang Shaoze had
done all of that on purpose!
“Why? Why did you do that? Even if you were friends with Liu Yu, she’s
already been dead for so long. Why did you help Gu Ruoyun like that?”
“Do you really want to know?”
Dongfang Shaoze drew closer to Old Man Gu, a profound smile on his
handsome face. He let out a peal of gentle laughter before, with an
extremely mild tone, he said, “It’s simple. It’s because Liu Yu’s
surname… was Dongfang!”
Boom!
It was as if an explosion had gone off in Old Man Gu’s head; his mind
crashed with no chance of recovery.
Liu Yu’s surname was Dongfang, what… what did he mean?
“Her surname was Dongfang, and she was part of the Dongfang Family.
She was the treasure of my family… and my older sister!”
www.asianovel.com
38
Dongfang Shaoze’s smile disappeared bit by bit. His black eyes were
fixed on the group of people before him as he spoke calmly and slowly.
“Liu Yu’s real name was Dongfang Yu? She was someone from the
Dongfang Family? No, it can’t be! That’s impossible!”
Old Man Gu began to retreat bit by bit, his body moving on its own as he
succumbed to shock. He shook his head back and forth, the little
remaining color in his wrinkled, old face draining fast. “Why didn’t she
ever mention it?”
Back then, he had looked down on Dongfang Yu and hadn’t wanted her
as a daughter-in-law because she had a lowly status and no one knew
where she had come from. If not for Gu Tian protecting her, he
absolutely wouldn’t have let that woman, who didn’t bring any benefits
with her, marry into the Gu Family.
Who could have expected that the Liu Yu he had so disdained would turn
out to be someone from the Dongfang Family!
“How could my sister have mentioned it? She knew what your Gu Family
was like. She would have rather been scorned by all of you than to have
had you burdening the Dongfang Family!”
Whenever he thought of his sister’s death, Dongfang Shaoze’s heart

would hurt. The gaze he cast upon the Gu Family was filled with
murderous intent.
“So you said that she didn’t have any merits?” He turned to look at the
trembling Second Madam Gu and smiled once again. “She was the
treasure of the Dongfang Family and she had the best education one
could have since she was young. Her natural talents weren’t inferior to
Gu Tian’s, but she was willing to conceal her gifts so she could stay with
him. She had a beauty that could cause the downfall of nations, and
everyone doted terribly on her. However, she never grew arrogant from
all the attention and was never cowardly. My sister was brave! She was
the greatest woman in the world!
www.asianovel.com
39
“On this earth, Gu Tian was the only one who could match her! As for
you, not only did you eye Gu Tian, you were delusional enough to think
that you could be compared. Did you really think you could even hold a
candle to her?”
Second Madam Gu bit her lip and remained silent.
She had been jealous of Dongfang Yu, jealous to the point of madness!
So, she had helped cause the deaths of Dongfang Yu and Gu Tian.
However, she could never have imagined, never have foreseen, that the
lowly woman in her eyes would turn out to be the eldest miss of the
Dongfang Family… Or that her talents were comparable to Gu Tian’s…
How could that seductress have been that outstanding?
“Alright, I’ve already told you what you should know. Now it’s time for us
to settle our debts.” The corners of Dongfang Shaoze’s lips lifted. “Gu
Tian is already dead, so I have no way to settle my debt with him. It’s up
to you guys to take on the debt in his place! I’m going to make the Gu
Family disappear from the face of this earth!”
Although the Three Great Authorities didn’t allow them to interfere with
the lives of ordinary people, there wasn’t anyone else here apart from
some dead men walking. Who would even know that he had been the
one to kill them?
He had restrained himself for so many years. It was finally time to take
revenge for his sister and her husband…

Chapter 213

When she saw Dongfang Shaoze’s gentle expression, Second Madam Gu

broke out into cold sweat. A chill started from the bottom of her feet and
climbed all the way to the crown of her head. Undisguised panic flitted
across her bloated face as she cried: “I don’t want to die, please let me
go! I really don’t want to die!”
“If you had known of the consequences earlier, then why did you act like
that back then?”
Dongfang Shaoze sighed as he saw that Second Madam Gu had turned

pale from fright. “You have only yourselves to blame for the
consequences today. The Gu Family was already doomed when they
made those mistakes back then!”
……
That day, the anguished wailing of Second Madam Gu could be heard all
the way from the streets. No one knew what happened, or even
witnessed anyone entering the Gu Estate, but her cries painted a vivid
image of flesh being flayed off bit by bit. Closely following her screams,
the entire estate went up in flames. The fierce fire burned for an entire
day and night, and when it finally subsided, the insufferably arrogant Gu
Family had disappeared from the mainland…
Within Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun was listening to Elder Yu report

about the recent events. Suddenly, a burst of gentle laughter came from
www.asianovel.com
41
outside the door. Following that, the mild voice of a familiar man
interrupted her thoughts.
“Yun’er, it has been three years since we last met. I hadn’t expected you
to grow so fast, and you’ve even done so much to make people sit up
and take notice of you.”
Upon hearing a voice she hadn’t heard in three years, Gu Ruoyun

slipped into a slight daze. Without waiting for her to speak up, Elder Yu
went up to the visitor with a look of pleasant surprise. “Young Master,
you’ve come back?”
Dongfang Shaoze nodded. When his eyes landed upon Gu Ruoyun’s

face, a soft smile spread across his handsome face.
For some reason, every time she saw Dongfang Shaoze, Gu Ruoyun
would feel a sense of kinship with him. That intimacy didn’t come from
the man’s warm smile, but… it came from within her heart.
Furthermore, if not for Dongfang Shaoze, she wouldn’t have been able to
become the master of Hundred Herb Hall, and she wouldn’t have been
able to grow this fast.
“You’ve come back?”
Gu Ruoyun asked, raising an eyebrow. There was a bit of good humor in

her expression.
Dongfang Shaoze smiled back at her, but he had a grave look in his
eyes. After muttering to himself under his breath for a while, he spoke
up: “Yun’er, there’s something that I didn’t want to tell you at first,
because I didn’t want to pull you into this dispute. But now, I have no
other choice but to tell you…”
“Young Master?” Elder Yu stiffened, “Did something happen to the

Dongfang Family?”
Judging by how overprotective Young Master was of Eldest Miss, he

would never reveal that matter to her unless it was a critical situation.
www.asianovel.com
42
Otherwise, it would only bring Eldest Miss unnecessary trouble.
Thus, upon hearing the first half of Dongfang Shaoze’s words, Elder Yu
knew that something had happened to the Dongfang Family…
something that even the young master couldn’t solve.
Gu Ruoyun didn’t think too much of it and simply smiled as she said,
“Young Master, if you have anything to say, speak freely. I’m all ears.”
Dongfang Shaoze’s mind seemed to be somewhere far away as he

looked at the girl’s pretty face. “You’re really like them. Your face is
really similar to your parents’. Actually, Yun’er, you should call me
Uncle! The real name of your mother, Liu Yu, was actually Dongfang Yu.
She was the eldest miss of my Dongfang Family, and the older sister I
admired ever since I was a boy.”
What kind of genius had Dongfang Yu been? Even if she was compared
to Gu Tian, she absolutely wouldn’t have lost to him. However, as the
eldest miss of the Dongfang Family, she had been hidden away since
she was young. Except for the powers that were on the same level as
the Dongfang Family, how could anyone have known how glorious she
had been?

Chapter 214
Actually, Gu Ruoyun had already been mentally prepared for something

like this. She knew that Dongfang Shaoze’s relationship with her parents
couldn’t be as simple as just friends. However, she hadn’t expected that
her own mother would turn out to be someone from the Dongfang
Family!
For a short moment, astonishment flitted across her eyes, and then it
was gone in a flash.
“Mother was the Dongfang Family’s daughter? Why haven’t I heard of

this before? Furthermore, since she was a Dongfang, why couldn’t the
Dongfang Family protect her?”
Currently, Gu Ruoyun was extremely calm, so calm that a stab of guilt

ached within Dongfang Shaoze’s heart.
“Yun’er, I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to protect your mother. Back then, after
receiving the news, I wanted to rush here to investigate the truth behind
her death. However, my father, your grandfather, held me back. You
should know about the existence of the Three Great Authorities. The
reason Father did this was… because he was afraid that the Dongfang
Family would be destroyed, even as I didn’t agree with his actions.”
How could a father not have been hurt by his daughter’s death?
Previously, even though Father had admired Gu TIan, he hadn’t
approved of them being together. It was his sister who had insisted on
www.asianovel.com
44
staying with her lover, even leaving the Dongfang Family for his sake.
However, Father had a lot to keep in consideration. If his sister had still
been alive, Father would definitely have put his all into saving her.
However, since his sister was already dead, he wasn’t willing to drag
down the rest of the Dongfang Family for this matter…
Gu Ruoyun put on a smile that made Dongfang Shaoze’s heart ache

once again.
“The Dongfang Family… Hehe. He was so afraid of the power of the

Three Great Authorities that he let his own daughter die in such tragic
circumstances. After so many years, no one from the Dongfang Family
ever came looking for me. Even when I was beaten to death by the Gu
Family, no one ever stood up for me. If I hadn’t been lucky, perhaps… I
would have already died.”
Honestly speaking, she didn’t hold any goodwill towards the Dongfang
Family. She believed that they definitely knew about the circumstances
she had grown up in, and considering that she never had a visitor come
to the Gu Estate… Not a single one of them had ever come to stand up
for her, never!
If just one person had come and said something for her, the Gu Family
probably wouldn’t have dared to treat her like that.
“Yun’er.”
Dongfang Shaoze felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He reached

out and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his arms. Tightly embracing the thin,
young girl, he lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, Yun’er. Uncle came
too late and you’ve suffered so much because of it…”
The man’s warm embrace made Gu Ruoyun’s hardened heart soften. No

matter how the Dongfang Family acted, this man before her had
undoubtedly given her a lot of help.
She would remember this debt of gratitude.
www.asianovel.com
45
“I don’t have a favourable impression towards the Dongfang Family, but

you’ll always be my uncle! Forever.”
The young girl raised her head, her delicate features infused with
determination.
Seeing her like this, warmth suffused inside Dongfang Shaoze’s chest.
He raised his hand and rubbed Gu Ruoyun’s head, a doting look in his
eyes.
“Yun’er, perhaps your grandfather had his own apprehensions, and he

wasn’t able to do as he liked. However, he really did love your mother
dearly. In addition, remember this. No matter what happens, even if the
Dongfang Family is unable to stand by your side, Uncle will always be
there for you.”
Gu Ruoyun shrugged the topic away and blinked as she asked: “Oh,
that’s right, Uncle. This isn’t the only reason you came looking for me,
right? Did something happen with your Dongfang Family?”
Dongfang Shaoze’s heart gradually sunk. He couldn’t help but let out a
sigh at the reminder of the recent events within the Dongfang Family.
www.asianovel.com
46
Chapter 215
“Actually, it’s nothing big. I just feel that your grandfather’s health has
been deteriorating lately, and his light is starting to wane. In addition,
the Dongfang Family is facing enemies on all sides. Not only do we have
to face the enemies from the outside, now we even have to defend
ourselves against inner struggles. He’s gradually losing his strength. If
he doesn’t break through now, he’ll probably only be able to hold on for
another one or two years.”
Dongfang Shaoze showed a bitter smile. Back then, so that the Weapon
Refining Sect would be too busy to deal with Gu Ruoyun, he had taken
pains to convince his father to do something. However, in the end, it was
the Dongfang Family that suffered the consequences.
Three years. For three whole years, the Dongfang Family and the
Weapon Refining Sect had been at war. If anything happened to Father,
then the Dongfang Family would probably be destroyed. However, he
didn’t explain this to Gu Ruoyun. No matter what, he wasn’t willing to
use this debt to ensnare her…
Gu Ruoyun sunk into silence for a while. After some time, she raised her
head and looked at the man’s mild face: “I don’t like the Dongfang
Family, because of the way they reacted to Mother’s death. However, I
acknowledge you as my uncle. You’re a member of the Dongfang
Family, so… I can’t let anything happen to the Dongfang Family!”
www.asianovel.com
47
She was implying that she was willing to help the Dongfang Family, but
only because of him, Dongfang Shaoze, and not because of any kinship
with the Dongfang Family.
His heart warmed, but he was still filled with inerasable guilt. He couldn’t
imagine just how much difficulty this girl had been through in the past to
make her this calm. If only he had come out of his closed door
cultivation and travelled to Azure Dragon Country earlier, then perhaps
she wouldn’t have suffered so much…
No one from the Dongfang Family had helped her after so many years,
so it was understandable that she didn’t hold any goodwill towards the
Dongfang Family. If not for her good luck, who knows how many times
she would have died in the hands of the Gu Family by now?
“Uncle, based on my current abilities, I have no way to help the

Dongfang Family Head to break through yet. So let’s talk about helping
him break through later on. I have a Longevity Pill here; take this to him
and tell him to use it first. This Longevity Pill can add ten years to your
lifetime. Right now, I’m going to make a trip to somewhere else. When
I’m done with that matter, I’ll go to the Dongfang Family to look for you.”
Gu Ruoyun could guess a little at what the Dongfang Family Head was
facing right now. Elder Yu had told her before that the Dongfang Family
was most likely the reason why the Weapon Refining Sect had not come
looking for her. Without any need to think about it, it was clear to her
that it was something Dongfang Shaoze had done for her sake…
Even though he hadn’t brought up that matter to force her into helping
the Dongfang Family, Gu Ruoyun wasn’t an ungrateful person who didn’t
repay her debts. Thus, even though she wasn’t too impressed by the
Dongfang Family, she would still do her utmost to help him…
However, upon hearing her words, Dongfang Shaoze froze in place.
Honestly speaking, he had come here to ask for a Longevity Pill. With
that pill, Father would be able to hold on for another ten years. With
those ten years, he might even be able to break through. Even in the
www.asianovel.com
48
worst case, if Father was unable to break through, it would still give the
Dongfang Family another ten years to fight on.
But Yun’er had just said that she didn’t have any way to help the
Dongfang Family Head break through… yet? Didn’t that mean she might
have one in the future?
Thinking up to here, Dongfang Shaoze shook his head and smiled:

“Yun’er, then I’ll wait for you at the Dongfang Family. However, could
Uncle ask you something? Where are you going to next?”
Gu Ruoyun cast her gaze downwards as her lips curled into a smile.
That smile was filled with warmth, expectation, and a thread of

impatience…

Chapter 216

Wei Yiyi was staring dazedly at one side. She had followed Shifu for
three years, but she had never seen her let out such a dazzling smile.
Her smile was so beautiful, it could touch people’s hearts.
“Heaven City, the Xia Family.” The young girl’s face held a subtle glow
as her eyes seemed to be looking into faraway memories. A hint of guilt
flashed across her countenance.
Yu’er, it’s been three years. I can finally go looking for you. You have to
wait for me. In this life, I won’t let you suffer the pain you did in your
previous life.
“Heaven City?” Dongfang Shaoze frowned, “Heaven City’s power is on

par with the Dongfang Family. Yun’er, I don’t know how you’re related to
the Xia Family, but if someone tries to make things difficult for you, then
send Elder Yu to notify me. The Xia Family still has to show some respect
to the Dongfang Family, no matter what.”
“I understand.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded her head. The most important thing was to find a
way to get the entry token for Heaven City. So she had to travel to Black
Tortoise Country first…
……
www.asianovel.com
50
After Dongfang Shaoze bid his goodbyes and left, Gu Ruoyun returned to
the inner courtyard. Just as she entered, an arm reached out and pulled
her into an embrace. The man’s head of silver hair fell like a waterfall
around them, as his bewitching red clothes fluttered in the wind. His
arms were locked tightly around the girl, as if afraid that she would
suddenly leave.
Gu Ruoyun didn’t resist and allowed the man to keep her in his embrace.
After a long while, a low voice resounded by her ear: “You’re leaving?”
“Yes.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded and replied him with a single syllable.
“I can’t go with you?” The man’s voice carried grievance and

resentment.
“Xiao Ye, I’m going there to look for someone very important to me. I’ll
be back really soon. Wait for me here, okay?”
Someone very important to her?
The man’s arms slowly loosened as he looked at her with hidden

bitterness. His posture was every bit the abandoned wife, his handsome
visage filled with grief. For some reason, when he had heard the girl
speak of that important person, his heart had started hurting. That
pain… was something he had seemingly experienced before…
“Xiao Ye,” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “I’m not very certain of what I’m going to
do this time. I don’t know if he’s the one I’m looking for either. However,
no matter what, I have to make this trip. In my heart, you, Zixie, my
older brother, and Yu’er, are all equally important to me. If I lose a single
one of you, I would walk the edges of this earth and back to find you
again. I’m not letting you come with me this time because the entry
token for Heaven City is hard to get. Unless I’m with one of the great
families of Heaven City, an entry token only admits a single person. If I
had to get a single token, I might still be able to find a way to get one.
Two tokens would be a stretch.”
www.asianovel.com
51
Qianbei Ye’s aggrieved expression turned into a blinding smile after

hearing her words. What she meant was that, he was very important to
her?
“Alright, Xiao Yun, I’ll wait for you to come back. Ten years, twenty years
or even a hundred years, I’ll be here waiting for you.”
Even if he had to spend the rest of his life, he would wait here for her…
“Shifu, when are you leaving?”
Wei Yiyi rubbed her nose. It was probably only in front of Gu Ruoyun that
Qianbei Ye, who made all enemies tremble in fear, would act this
innocent.
“Right now.”
Gu Ruoyun mumbled to herself for a bit before raising her head: “Wei
Yiyi, after I go, bring Uncle Luo and Luo Yin to the headquarters of the
Devil Sect. Give them a position as well.”
After saying so, she looked up at the sky absentmindedly. She could
almost see that young boy’s bashful smile…
“Yu’er, wait for me. Jiejie will be able to find you soon. From then on,
we’ll never have to part.”
TL Note: Jiejie = older sister.

Chapter 217

Chapter 217: The Good-for-Nothing Prince (1)
In the imperial capital of Black Tortoise Country.
Gu Ruoyun was standing on the bustling streets with her hands behind
her head. She watched the raucous main street with slightly narrowed
eyes, seemingly pondering something inwardly.
“Now that I’ve already reached Black Tortoise Country, I wonder how I’m
going to get into Heaven City. Hmm, nevermind. It’ll all work out
somehow; where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly caught sight of a fat man
charging towards her. That fatty was running forwards while turning his
head back to look behind him; he didn’t see Gu Ruoyun in front of him at
all. If Gu Ruoyun had noticed him earlier, she might have been able to
dodge in time. However, by the time she had recovered her senses, that
fatty was already right in front of her…
Seeing that he was about to collide with her, Gu Ruoyun quickly

gathered her strength. Thus, when the fatty was just inches in front of
her, with a whoosh, that 250kg body drew an arc in the sky as he flew
into the air… and landed heavily.
“Bang!”
A heavy weight landed on the ground and an anguished wail rang out:
www.asianovel.com
53
“Who? Who was it who tried to sneak attack this prince? Are you
freaking tired of living? Aiyah, this prince’s waist, it’s probably broken!”
However, very quickly, the fatty who used ‘this prince’ to refer to himself
became silent.
That was because a group of richly dressed young men had just run up
to him, panting for breath. They surrounded the fatty and exchanged
words in malicious tones.
“Pang Ran, keep running if you have the ability to! You don’t have any
skills at all, but you’re pretty good at running away!”
“You’ve tired me out with all this chasing, let’s see where you can run to
next!”
“You stupid fatty, I really don’t know how you’ve managed to eat so
much. I feel disgusted just looking at your entire body full of fat, you
look so greasy too!”
Pang Ran smiled sheepishly, and the flesh on his chubby face jiggled
along with his smile.
“Dear brothers and sisters, can you take it easy on me please? Just go a
little easier on me. I’ve already lost 20kg from all your beatings; just let
me off, please.”
“Let you off? Hehe, I happen to be in a bad mood today. It wasn’t easy
to finally catch you like this so I can vent out some anger. I’d have to be
sick in the head to let you off! All of you, beat him up now! Beat him
hard! As long as you don’t beat him to death, it’s fine!”
The young man, who appeared to be their leader, sneered before raising
his leg, intending to stomp him hard. It scared Pang Ran so much that he
hurriedly shielded his eyes with his hand, his body trembling
uncontrollably.
However, when the pain that he had been expected never came, Pang
Ran slowly peeked through the gaps in his fingers and carefully looked
www.asianovel.com
54
at his surroundings. He then saw that the foot that had been about to
land on him had been stopped by a slender arm.
His gaze moved upwards slowly, and a delicately pretty face with a calm
expression appeared in his sights.
The young girl held onto the young man’s foot tightly, an unperturbed
look in her eyes, as if she wasn’t bothered by the young man’s angry
and vicious visage at all.
At this moment, Pang Ran was so touched that tears ran down his
cheeks. He thought that he was going to suffer a beating this time, he
hadn’t thought that he would be saved. She immediately took the place
of a goddess in his heart; she had clearly been sent by heaven to save
him.
“You damn girl, are you trying to stick your nose into matters that aren’t
yours?”
The young man had a dark and sinister look on his face as he gazed
coldly at Gu Ruoyun.
“Excuse me, I accidentally sent him flying just now, so I should save him
once in return.”
In normal cases, Gu Ruoyun wouldn’t have bothered with silly nonsense

like this.
However, just now, if she hadn’t sent him flying, he wouldn’t have
gotten caught by these people, so this was something that she owed
him.
“Hmph!”
The young man harrumphed: “Then you’re seeking your own death!”

500 jin, which is equal to 250kg.

Chapter 218

Whoosh!
After saying so, the young man reached out to grab Gu Ruoyun, a
malicious glint flashing through his eyes. However, the events that
followed stunned everyone present.
Just as the young man’s hand was about to touch Gu Ruoyun’s face, the
young girl grabbed his leg and lifted him up. With a swoosh, she then
threw him out ruthlessly. Did you think it ended just like that? No! After
throwing him out, she used her other hand to lift Pang Ran’s 250kg body
and tossed him right after the young man.
PFFT!
How could that young man’s slender body hold up under Pang Ran’s
weight? He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood after getting
squashed. His head drooped to the side as he fainted away.
Everyone was rooted to the spot in shock! It was still within reason that
she could lift the young man, but look at how heavy Pang Ran was! This
seemingly weak girl had just used one hand to lift him up?
Did this girl have superhuman strength? How could a tiny body like hers
contain such crazy power!?
“Are you alright?”
www.asianovel.com
57
Gu Ruoyun dusted off her hands and walked to Pang Ran’s side. She
extended a hand and smiled: “I’m sorry for what happened just now. I
was thinking too hard and didn’t notice your approach, so I accidentally
hit you away. I’m apologising for my actions back then.”
No matter what, Gu Ruoyun wasn’t an unreasonable person. Although

this matter had started because the fatty hadn’t been paying attention
to where he was going, she was still at fault. She ought to apologise for
her actions.
“This…” Pang Ran rubbed the back of his head and said, “If you want to
apologise, then treat me to a meal. If you treat me, I’ll forgive you.”
“Alright, what do you want to eat?”
“Meat!” Pang Ran looked up with sparkles in his eyes. “I. Want. To. Eat.
Meat!!”
……
In a restaurant, at a table piled high with scraps.
Gu Ruoyun watched Pang Ran gobble up everything on the table with

sweatdrops on her head. How long had it been since his last meal? How
could he actually be this hungry?
“Ooh, delicious, I haven’t had meat for so long. That kind of life isn’t
something a human should go through!”
Pang Ran had pig trotters in one hand and chicken legs in the other,
while his mouth was stuffed with simmered pork. He had an expression
full of bliss and satisfaction, as if he had never eaten meat in his entire
life before today.
The corner of Gu Ruoyun’s mouth twitched and she placed a hand on

her forehead: “You’re a prince of Black Tortoise Country at the very
least; how is it that you can’t even afford to eat meat?”
Gulp!
www.asianovel.com
58
Pang Ran swallowed all the food in his mouth before saying: “Goddess,
you should be able to tell by now. I, Pang Ran, am a complete good-for-
nothing!”
Gu Ruoyun had indeed seen that this fatty was a good-for-nothing, but
she hadn’t expected him to call himself one.
“So?”
Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow and asked.
“So what?” Pang Ran rolled his eyes and continued speaking, “So
everyone just looks down upon me. But my mother, the empress, is my
father’s most beloved woman, and I’m the empress’s only son. However,
because I’m a complete good-for-nothing and can’t succeed the imperial
throne, my father felt guilty towards me and gave me a lot of money to
spend. I don’t have to cultivate, I don’t like prostitutes, and I don’t like
gambling, so I spent all my money on eating. So what happened in the
end, was that I became like this.”
Pang Ran blinked a few times. While he was talking, he had a relaxed
expression on his face, as if he wasn’t the same good-for-nothing that
everyone looked down upon.
“When I became like this, Father finally regretted it and restricted my

allowance. He even prohibited me from eating meat! He wants to force
me to lose weight! The imperial family was already complicated to begin
with. Many people considered me an eyesore because of the affection
my father has for my mother. When Father isn’t looking, they take the
chance to send people after me to beat me up. But that really did have
an effect. After getting beaten up lots of times, I lost an entire 35
kilograms. Do you know how much 35 kilograms is!? When Father found
out what happened, in order to make me lose more weight, he just
closed an eye to it. He’ll let them do as they like as long as they don’t
kill me!”

Chapter 219

In the time it took for him to say that, another pig trotter had already
made its way into Pang Ran’s stomach. He wiped his oily mouth and
finally burped. While groaning, he said: “Ah, I’m full. I haven’t had such a
satisfying meal in so long! Actually, getting beaten up is fine with me.
The most painful thing was getting forced to eat vegetables every day
by Father! Those green things aren’t tasty at all, I was so disgusted.”
Sweatdrops gathered on Gu Ruoyun’s head. She was completely

speechless thanks to this good-for-nothing prince. Of course, what made
her even more speechless was that strange father of his, the emperor.
Bang!
It was at this moment that the door to their private room in the
restaurant was kicked open and a domineering voice resounded.
“Pang Ran, come out here for this prince immediately!”
“Heavens!”
Pang Ran was so frightened that he threw the bones in his hands away
and quickly buried himself under the table. However, his body couldn’t
fit under the table at all, and he ended up flipping the entire table
instead.
Meanwhile, the bones that he had unconsciously thrown ended up flying
www.asianovel.com
64
in the direction of the richly dressed young man standing at the

entrance of the room. With a bang, the bones landed on his face and
slowly slid down to the floor.
Upon smelling that oil on his face, the richly dressed young man could
only feel his gut churning as he tried hard to keep everything he had
eaten over the past few days down. With an ashen face, he gritted his
teeth and shouted, “Pang Ran, you little good-for-nothing! Today, as
your older brother, I’m going to teach you how to respect your elders!
Lin Luo is my subordinate. You actually dared to make him faint, so you
have to bear the consequences!”
Gu Ruoyun calmly cast him a sideways glance and used her chopsticks
to pick up a small piece of bone. While he was speaking, she tossed it
into his mouth with a swoosh.
The young man didn’t close his mouth in time and that piece of bone
flew right inside. A wave of nausea rose up from his stomach and he
couldn’t bear it any longer: he ran to a corner and puked.
That piece of bone was something that fatty Pang Ran had gnawed on
and spat out; it was too disgusting! Even more disgusting than kissing
him directly!
“Your mouth is too dry.”
Gu Ruoyun tossed an unperturbed glance at him, treating him coolly.
“You… Just wait for me! You stupid girl! You’ll suffer the consequences
for helping this damn fatty!”
The richly dressed young man’s face turned even more ashen. He glared
fiercely at the two of them before running out.
He couldn’t take it any longer, he had to clear out his stomach…
Within the room, Pang Ran got up from the floor and looked at Gu
Ruoyun with a face full of worship: “Goddess, you’re too cool! Especially
that last sentence, you’re too awesome!!”
www.asianovel.com
65
“Could you call me something else?” The corner of Gu Ruoyun’s mouth

twitched as she spoke helplessly.
“No way!”
Pang Ran shook his head decisively on this matter. “You’re the goddess
sent to me by the heavens to save me. I’ve already decided. From now
on, I, Pang Ran, will follow you! Why would I want to be some shitty Sixth
Prince? I don’t care about that title at all, it’s not like I’ll get to eat any
meat! I’ll only be able to eat meat if I follow the goddess!”
He hadn’t wanted to be the Sixth Prince for a long time. There wasn’t
any meat to eat, and he still had to suffer beatings. Anyone who wanted
the position could have it; he didn’t care about it at all.
Looking at the longing on Pang Ran’s face, Gu Ruoyun’s eyes sparkled

as she asked: “Fatty, do you want to lose weight?”
“I’m willing to lose weight if I can still eat meat. Meat is life! If I don’t
have any life left in me, what’s the use of losing weight?”
Pang Ran pouted as he spoke.
“I can help you lose weight, but it’s up to you to see if you’re willing to
work at it.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled as she watched Pang Ran. This time, she had a
reason for helping him out. Since the people of Heaven City could decide
the imperial successor to Black Tortoise Country, then Pang Ran would
surely attract their attention if he displayed outstanding qualities. She
might even get the chance to contact the people from Heaven City and
get the entry token to Heaven City if she helped Pang Ran…

Chapter 220

“Can I eat meat?”
Pang Ran blinked pitifully as he asked.
“You can,” Gu Ruoyun’s lips twitched a little, “You can eat meat, but you
can’t be too greedy! Following my method; within three weeks, I can
help you slim down.”
A glint flashed through the fatty’s almost invisible eyes, he was so

excited that his face became flushed red: “Really? I can slim down even
if I don’t eat vegetables or get beaten up? Goddess, you’re really my
goddess, I love you!”
Bang!
Pang Ran threw himself at Gu Ruoyun, trying to hug her tightly with his
open arms.
However…
Looking at that enormous body flying towards her, Gu Ruoyun didn’t

even have to think about it: she immediately kicked him away. In a
moment, that huge body drew a straight line as it flew out of the room.
By some strange coincidence, he fell onto a passerby, causing that poor
innocent man to froth at the mouth as his eyes spun around in circles.
www.asianovel.com
67
It was rather tragic for the passerby. He had only come here to eat a
meal, but had mysteriously gotten flattened by a huge mountain.
Especially since that huge mountain’s butt was now sitting on his face. It
was so disgusting that he almost puked up last night’s dinner.
“Um, I’m sorry, this prince didn’t do it on purpose.”
Pang Ran casually stood up and expressed his apology to the person he
had squashed. However, upon seeing the face of that person, his
expression changed abruptly and he hurriedly charged back into the
room to pull Gu Ruoyun towards the exit.
“Goddess, we have to leave now, we’ve really caused a disaster this

time!”
Although the fatty had a huge body, he could run like the wind when
escaping. In the blink of an eye, he had already sprinted out of the
restaurant. It was likely because he was usually running for his life, that
he had trained his escaping skills to this extent.
“What’s going on? What happened?”
Gu Ruoyun dazedly looked at Pang Ran and asked.
When he was facing the trouble-making young men from before, or the
fellow who had called himself his imperial brother, she hadn’t seen the
fatty make such an expression. Could it be that that person just now was
someone even more influential?
After running for who knows how long, the fatty finally stopped. He
gasped for breath and wiped the sweat off his face. He anxiously said,
“Goddess, we’re really in trouble this time! We’re done for, totally done
for! If my father finds out, he’ll definitely kill me!”
Pang Ran kept chanting under his breath as cold sweat ran profusely
down his forehead, “We’re done for, we’re done for…”
“What in the world happened?” Gu Ruoyun’s expression turned grave as

she asked seriously.
www.asianovel.com
68
“That person I just squashed is the Imperial Adviser of Black Tortoise

country! He’s well-versed in astronomy and geology, and he can even
see the past and the future! So Father has always trusted him very
much! However, this Imperial Adviser is really godly. Before I was born,
he predicted that I would be born as a good-for-nothing. Who knew that I
would really turn out to be one!”
Pang Ran spoke without looking around him, so he didn’t catch the
change in expression that flitted across Gu Ruoyun’s countenance.
“Imperial Adviser?” A sneer rose from the corners of her lips. An

ambiguous expression shone in her eyes, “What a good all-seeing
Imperial Adviser! Fatty, if I had been there before your mother gave
birth to you, I would probably have been able to predict that you would
be a good-for-nothing as well!”
“Goddess, you’re that godly too?”
Pang Ran’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the young girl’s pretty face.
Godly?
Gu Ruoyun smiled mockingly to herself. There may be all-seeing people

in this world, but that Imperial Adviser definitely wasn’t one of them.
Ever since she had met Pang Ran, she could tell that this fatty had been
poisoned while he was in his mother’s womb. His meridians had been
blocked with poison. However, the culprit had clearly wanted to keep
him alive, but left him unable to cultivate. This fatty wasn’t a natural-
born good-for-nothing, but it was because he had been plotted against.
So what did it mean when the Imperial Adviser had predicted that he
would be a good-for-nothing?
“Fatty, let’s go,” Gu Ruoyun patted his shoulder and said, “Let’s go back
to your place first, then I’ll help you lose weight.”

Chapter 221

In Black Tortoise Country, when princes came of age, they had to leave
the palace and establish their own estates.
At this moment, within the Sixth Prince’s Estate, Gu Ruoyun ordered

some servants to draw up a hot bath. She then threw some Chinese
medicinal herbs into the bathtub before turning to the fatty and
instructing him: “Soak in the bath in a little while. You have to soak for a
full three hours before you come out of there. I’m telling you first, these
herbs have a strong nature, but they’ll be able to expel the toxins in
your body. I have to help you clear out the poison in your system first,
before decomposing the fats! If you can’t bear with it, think of how
you’ve been treated all these years, or you can think of your beloved
meat. You should be able to hold on like that…”
After she finished speaking, without giving the Sixth Prince the chance
to speak, she walked right out of the room.
Just as she closed the door, she heard an anguished wail, as if a pig was
being killed.
Outside the door, a group of servant girls were gathered and talking
about something. When they looked towards that tightly shut door, their
eyes all carried a murky expression.
They clearly didn’t know what their master was trying to do…
www.asianovel.com
70
Each wail was louder than the last, and it continued on for three hours.
Everyone in the entire estate was in a state of anxiety. It wasn’t until
after the three hour mark had passed that the sharp wails finally died
down and the Sixth Prince’s Estate recovered its calm…
However, when the servants entered to clean up the bathtub that had
been used, they almost fainted from the stink. The originally green liquid
was now extremely muddy and gave off a horrible stench. Even Gu
Ruoyun probably wouldn’t have expected to see this much poison in
Pang Ran’s body…
“Goddess, what kind of medicinal bath was that? You almost killed me
right there.”
The moment Pang Ran ran into the courtyard, he immediately spotted
Gu Ruoyun, who was admiring the trees and flowers. He hurriedly ran to
her side and complained.
If not for the refreshing feeling suffusing his entire body right now, he
might have started to suspect that the goddess had tricked him.
“Fatty, give cultivating a try now.”
The corners of Gu Ruoyun’s lips curved slightly as she spoke in a calm

tone.
“Goddess, what are you saying? I, Pang Ran, am a complete good-for-

nothing. Something like cultivation has nothing to do with me.” Pang
Ran chuckled. He had tried to cultivate before, but the spiritual qi in his
meridians had been completely blocked. No matter how hard he tried to
break through, his meridians wouldn’t open, so he had given up
eventually.
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun smiled lightly: “Try it first.”
“Alright, since Goddess doesn’t believe it, I’ll try it to show you.”
After he finished speaking, Pang Ran sat down on the floor and started
absorbing the spiritual qi in the surroundings. He had been mentally
www.asianovel.com
71
prepared for failure, since this wasn’t the first time. However, when the
spiritual qi he had brought into his body arrived at the spot that was
previously blocked, it unexpectedly… unexpectedly went through?
Pang Ran blinked. What… what was going on? Wasn’t he a good-for-
nothing? This was what the Imperial Adviser had predicted, and the
Imperial Adviser had even said that he would end up without any skills
at all. In the end, his predictions had come true. But what was going on
now?
It was clear that Gu Ruoyun had seen through the doubts in Pang Ran’s
heart. She calmly explained: “You’re not a natural-born good-for-
nothing. As for why you weren’t able to cultivate previously, it was
because you had been poisoned while you were in your mother’s womb,
causing your meridians to get blocked. This was also the reason why you
couldn’t absorb spiritual qi! I just helped you purge all the poison in your
body, so now you can cultivate like a normal person.”
Pang Ran’s mind took a while to wrap around this bit of information.
After a few minutes, when he had finished digesting Gu Ruoyun’s words,
rage burst forth from his heart!
www.asianovel.com
72
Chapter 222

“Damn it, who was so sinister and vicious as to poison me! If not for that
bastard, I wouldn’t have become a good-for-nothing! If I hadn’t become
a good-for-nothing, I wouldn’t have given up on myself! And ended up
letting myself go to this point! If I find out who that bastard is, I’m
definitely going to screw his ancestors!”
Pang Ran was going crazy from anger. The way he gritted his teeth
spoke clearly of how much he wanted to skin the culprit alive. Heavens
knew how he had passed his days these past few years! As for the
person who had caused him to suffer so much, he definitely wouldn’t let
him off!
“That’s right, what’s going on with the predictions that the Imperial
Adviser made for me?” Pang Ran’s eyes flickered as he thought of that
topic.
“Who is the Imperial Adviser usually close to?”
“That’s definitely Imperial Concubine Lin. The Imperial Adviser is

Imperial Concubine Lin’s older brother, and her biological brother. My
eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother all died at an early
age. My third brother is Imperial Concubine Lin’s son and the most likely
candidate to inherit the throne. The one who came to cause a ruckus at
the restaurant just now was my fifth brother.”
www.asianovel.com
73
Afraid that Gu Ruoyun wouldn’t understand the relationships between

them, Pang Ran decided to explain them for her.
While listening to Pang Ran’s words, Gu Ruoyun caressed her chin as

she pondered. “This Imperial Adviser isn’t a simple man. Adding onto
that he’s a direct relative of a concubine and the third prince is his
nephew, it’s very likely this had something to do with him.”
“****!” The fatty’s rage reached new heights, “The Imperial Adviser
actually tried to harm me? What a waste of my worship for him! It really
wasted my feelings!”
The Imperial Adviser had already given a prediction that he would grow
up into someone without any merits, and this fatty had still worshipped
him like an idol? It wasn’t only the emperor of Black Tortoise Country
who was a marvel, for this fatty was the strangest of the strange…
She had never seen such a peculiar person before!
“Fatty, come with me,” Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow, “If you stay here,
someone will definitely come to disturb you. We’ll look for a quiet place
to help you lose weight. After three months, I’ll definitely help you lose
all this flesh on you.”
……
Gu Ruoyun’s secret weight loss plan was to bring out another bunch of
unknown herbs for the fatty to soak in. Thus, every day, Gu Ruoyun
could hear the fatty’s pig-like screams. However, the results were
obvious. After every bath, layers of yellow fats could be seen floating in
the bathwater. Those had been all purged from his pores.
Of course, while losing weight, the fatty was also forced into cultivation
training by Gu Ruoyun.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much talent in this area. Adding his own
laziness to that, and he was only able to reach Qi level 2 after three
months, and that was even with the effects of Gu Ruoyun’s pills.
www.asianovel.com
74
Thus, Gu Ruoyun had already given up on making him continue

cultivating.
However, compared to cultivating, the fatty had talent in ruling a

country. This kind of person was more suited to become an emperor! As
an emperor, you didn’t need much strength, but you had to have the
ability to allow your citizens live and work in peace and happiness.
Furthermore, Black Tortoise Country was controlled by the Xia Family in
Heaven City, so you could sit stably on the throne if you had the Xia
Family’s permission. No one would dare to seize the throne. It was only if
the reigning emperor had committed a huge mistake, that the Xia
Family would choose a new emperor to take his place.
The reason the fatty hadn’t displayed his talents previously, was
because of the Imperial Adviser’s prediction that he would be useless.
Thus, he had also started to give up on himself.
……
Within the imperial study, a figure dressed in royal yellow sat on the
dragon throne, evaluating the imperial edicts piled high on the table. He
would frown or sigh at times; the space between his brows was filled
with worry.
www.asianovel.com
75
Chapter 223

“It’s been three months. That damn fatty has gone missing for three
whole months. Did he run away from home because I was too harsh with
him? Or could it be that he’s hiding in fear because he caused some
trouble?” Pang Zihuang sighed lightly and pinched the space between
his brows. Feeling a headache coming on, he said, “Didn’t I do all that
for his own good? Why can’t he understand the efforts I’m making for
him?”
While speaking, Pang Zihuang looked up slightly. It was at that moment

that he noticed a figure sneakily approaching him, and rage abruptly
welled up within him.
“Who are you? You actually dare to intrude into the imperial study? Are
you trying to assassinate me! Guards! Where are the guards! How could
you let an intruder in?!”
In his rage, Pang Zihuang simply leapt up from behind his desk and
grabbed the sneaky young man. Without saying anything more, he
slapped him.
“What daring! You’re only a Qi level 2 and you still dared to come and
assassinate me?! Are you looking down that far on me? Alright, I haven’t
been in a good mood lately, and I haven’t had any outlets. You’ll be my
www.asianovel.com
76
practice dummy!”
Pang Zihuang usually didn’t like to read the imperial edicts with
company around him, so he was alone in the imperial study at the
moment. Without caring too much for his image as the emperor, he
simply said everything out loud.
Pang Ran had knocked the Imperial Adviser out and disappeared three
months ago. Since then, the Imperial Adviser had come to him everyday,
demanding that Pang Ran should be found. He didn’t dare to offend the
Imperial Adviser since he had extraordinary powers, so he had
suppressed his frustrations. Now, someone had simply offered their body
up as a sacrifice for him to vent his anger, how could he reject such a
convenient offer?
However, just as Pang Zihuang started to enjoy beating up his new

‘dummy’, the young man he had caught let out an anguished howl.
“Aiyah, daddy, stop beating me! It’s me, your son!”
“Mofo, you’re just an assassin, how dare you try to impersonate my son.
How could I not know that I had a son like you!?”
Pang Zihuang was even more enraged now. This assassin’s daring
simply knew no bounds. After getting caught, he actually tried to claim
kinship with him. Impersonating an imperial relative was a capital
offense!
However, after he had replied, the young man’s crying grew even more
miserable.
“Father, it’s me, your son! It’s Pang Ran!!”
“Pang Ran?”
Pang Zihuang stopped and stared blankly for a moment before carefully
assessing the young man caught in his hands.
Although this young man couldn’t be called slender, he had a well-

proportioned figure. Although his features weren’t exceptional, they
www.asianovel.com
77
couldn’t be called common either. Most importantly, his skin was

extremely fair, and his aggrieved eyes were staring straight at Pang
Zihuang.
He had to admit that the young man before him did look quite similar to
Pang Ran, even his voice was exactly the same…
“You’re Pang Ran?” Pang Zihuang eyed him suspiciously.
It wasn’t that he was refusing to acknowledge his son, but this change…
was too damn scary!
In three months, that 250kg fatty had actually changed this much; no
one would dare to acknowledge him without proof…
“Father, have you forgotten? I peeked at the palace maids while they
were bathing when I was five. I still demanded to have my wet nurse
feed me until I was seven, and I was still wetting my bed even at the age
of 12. I’m really your son, Pang Ran!”
After hearing this, the disbelieving Pang Zihuang was finally convinced
that the person before him was his son.
Those were things that only he, the empress, and Pang Ran knew about!
The empress had even personally incinerated the wet blankets herself,
in order to preserve Pang Ran’s dignity. Even Pang Ran’s personal
palace maids had no knowledge of that incident…
www.asianovel.com
78
Chapter 224

“Pang Ran, where have you been these three months? How did you turn
into… this?”
Pang Zihuang looked Pang Ran up and down with a measuring gaze,
asking with doubt in his tone.
He needed some time to process what his eyes were showing him! The
very thing he had been hoping for day and night had finally come true,
so it was hard for him to believe what had happened. This damn fatty
had actually successfully lost weight in these past three months?
Heavens, give him some time to be emotional over this change!
“Boo hoo, Father, I did this all for you. Do you know how much I suffered
over these three months? For the sake of buying a Longevity Pill for you,
I ran all the way to Azure Dragon Country from Black Tortoise Country. I
even had to put in tremendous effort to finally get a Longevity Pill! That
long journey there and back, plus the mental pressure I was facing,
caused me to lose this much weight!”
Pang Ran cried until his face was covered in tears and snot. He
concocted an entire story of how hard he had worked in these three
months and the price he had paid in order to get the Longevity Pill and
told it line by line. To sum it up, the general story was that Pang Ran had
gone through all that suffering because he loved his father; there was no
www.asianovel.com
79
one in this world who was a more filial son than he was.
Pang Zihuang was successfully duped and started crying warm tears as
well. “What a good child, you deserve to be called my good son. If only
your third and fifth brothers were as thoughtful as you are, then I would
be able to rest easy. Oh yes, where are you keeping the Longevity Pill?
Take it out and let me have a look.”
After saying this, his gaze was fixed onto Pang Ran, and even his
breathing had quickened.
Even though he was in Black Tortoise Country, he had long heard of

Hundred Herb Hall’s fame. He hadn’t thought that he would somehow be
so lucky as to get a Longevity Pill. How could he not be excited?
Pang Ran smiled sheepishly and took out a box from within his sleeves.
His eyes swivelled about a little before he said: “Father, the Longevity
Pill is here. However, there’s something important I have to tell you. I
put in all my effort and managed to invite the master of Hundred Herb
Hall, the shifu of that renowned Ghost Doctor, over here. I asked her to
look at Father’s body.”
Goddess had asked him to think of a way to recommend her to his

father. This method would probably work. Anyway, he had completed his
task. She would have to settle the rest herself…
“What?”
Shock took over Pang Zihuang’s expression and he gripped Pang Ran’s
shoulders tightly, undisguised joy on his face.
“Did you say, the master of Hundred Herb Hall? The shifu of the Ghost
Doctor? That genius who refined the Longevity Pill? Where is she now?
Quickly! Go and invite her here! No, wait, I should go personally to invite
such a great personage. Servants! Help me prepare!”
Looking at how his normally imposing father was currently running

around like a headless chicken, Pang Ran could only roll his eyes and
give a kowtow towards Gu Ruoyun in his heart.
www.asianovel.com
80
He really didn’t know when he would be able to become someone as

cool as her. Even though she wasn’t an emperor, she could make any
emperor fight for an audience with her…
“Father, she’s in my Sixth Prince’s Estate right now. If you bring a bunch
of people and charge over, wouldn’t it come off as a rude gesture? I’ll go
and bring her into the palace now. However, it wasn’t easy for me to
invite her here, Father, don’t let anyone else scare her away.”
“Of course, of course.”
Pang Zihuang was so excited that his entire face was flushed red. If he
could make connections with Hundred Herb Hall somehow, he might
even have the chance to buy even more precious pills in the future, let
alone the Longevity Pill.
That’s right, Pang Zihuang was only hoping for the chance to buy a pill!
Right now, a single place to buy a pill from Hundred Herb Hall was being
sold at sky-high prices on the mainland. Many people didn’t even have
any chance to buy a single pill.

Chapter 225: A Familiar Figure (1)
“Father, I’m heading off to go invite my Goddess now. However, please

don’t show that kind of vulgar expression to her when she arrives. Even I
wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to run away from that.”
Pang Ran rolled his eyes, showing his disdain towards his father without
any restraint.
However, after he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and

ran away without a single bit of hesitation.
As expected, three seconds later, a roar of rage burst forth from behind
him: “You little brat! Who are you calling vulgar?! If you have the guts,
then stand still for this old man!”
Pang Zihuang was so enraged that he had even brought out the words
‘old man’, completely unbefitting of his image as an emperor. Of course,
Pang Ran simply ran even faster upon hearing that.
Stand still? He wasn’t stupid, his butt was going to be at stake here if he
didn’t run!
“You little brat, I’m the emperor of a nation at the very least! You didn’t
even leave a single shred of dignity for me!” Pang Zihuang was on the
verge of stomping his foot out of frustration. That little brat had actually
called him vulgar? How was he vulgar in any way? And even if he was,
www.asianovel.com
82
that little brat was probably a thousand times more vulgar than he could
ever be!
He swore that if he caught his son, he would give him a sound spanking!
And he would quit being the emperor, to boot!
No one was going to change his mind!
……
Within the Imperial Adviser’s Estate, Lin Yue was currently listening to a
report from his subordinate. The news was enough to make him clench
his fists, just the barest glimpse of cold light flashing through the tiny
slits of his narrowed eyes.
“You said that that damn fatty has come back?”
He would never forget the humiliation he had suffered three months ago
in that restaurant.
In full view of the public, that damn fatty had actually sat on him, and
he’d even placed his asshole right on top of his face! Just thinking about
it… Lin Yue had the urge to tear that fatty to bits.
That was a humiliation he had never in his entire life suffered before!
“Reporting to the Imperial Adviser, Sixth Prince has successfully lost

weight and has even brought the master of Hundred Herb Hall with him.
This is the information this subordinate has gathered after bribing the
guards outside the imperial study.”
Below him, his bodyguard bowed his head as he awaited Lin Yue’s next
orders.
“Hundred Herb Hall?” Lin Yue’s mouth curled up into a sneer full of
mocking, “Although that fatty was able to slim down somehow, it’s not
possible for him to have made connections with Hundred Herb Hall!
Hundred Herb Hall occupies a high position on this mainland. Even
though I’ve never seen their master before, she’s a genius who’s
managed to shock the entire four countries! It’s only natural that she’s
www.asianovel.com
83
haughty and proud. That damn fatty is nothing exceptional; how could
the real master take a liking to him? As for that girl the fatty brought
back, she’s most likely a fake he picked up somewhere and intended to
use to appease His Majesty! No matter what, I can’t let His Majesty
suffer this deception!”
A vicious glint flashed through Lin Yue’s eyes and his sneer grew even
more pronounced.
He really didn’t know what fit that fatty was suffering. He had always
been self-denigrating, but now he actually knew how to win His
Majesty’s favour? However, no matter how much His Majesty liked him,
he could never be a candidate to the throne.
That was because the only ones who could decide the right of
succession in Black Tortoise Country were the Xia Family! That damn
fatty was only a good-for-nothing; the Xia Family couldn’t possibly
consider him a candidate for the throne.
This was what he and his younger sister, Imperial Concubine Lin, had
achieved! Of course, he was still the most important factor in this ploy. If
he hadn’t predicted that the fatty would come to nothing in the future,
then that fatty wouldn’t have given up on himself so easily. And
although he had somehow recently regained his spirit and had started to
work hard for his future again, he had already neglected himself for over
twenty years. What a pity. No matter how hard that fatty worked from
now on, he’d still never amount to anything.
The fifth prince was also trash; arrogant and despotic, looking down on
everyone, he couldn’t possibly match up to the third prince!
However, if the fifth prince hadn’t turned out that way, he would have
ended up like the first, second, and fourth princes: dying a mysterious
death!

Chapter 226

At the Sixth Prince’s Estate.
When Gu Ruoyun spotted that familiar figure sprinting towards her from
afar, the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
“You’re back? How did it go? Is your father satisfied with your change?”
Upon hearing this, Pang Ran was full of grievance. He complained:

“Don’t talk about it, I’ll just get more angry! I’m starting to suspect that
I’m not really his son. He couldn’t even recognise me, his own flesh and
blood! I couldn’t even get a word out before he started beating me up.
Damn it, it hurt so bad. I really don’t know how he got such a temper
recently.”
Gu Ruoyun raised a brow and the smile on her face became even more
pronounced.
The fatty had been 250kg previously. Now he was a middling genius and
the fat on his body had completely disappeared. It would have been
stranger if Pang Zihuang had been able to recognise him.
“Oh yeah,” Pang Ran seemed to have recalled something, “I’ve already
told my father about you and he wants to see you. However, be careful
when you meet him. That old fellow has always been vulgar; he’s not a
good person at all.”
www.asianovel.com
85
It was clear that Pang Ran was extremely dissatisfied towards his own
father.
Upon mentioning that fellow, he would feel a phantom pain in his butt
and the urge to hide as far away as he could.
If Pang Zihuang heard Pang Ran’s words, he would likely even have the
impulse to strangle his son.
Old fellow? Vulgar?
Was that the way he should be addressing his father? He was the
emperor of a nation at the very least, but his son never left a shred of
dignity for him.
“We’ll enter the palace in a bit. In addition, Pang Ran, I want to ask you
something: do you want to be the emperor?”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes shone as she looked at Pang Ran. A strange light

flashed through her eyes, so quickly that no one noticed.
Pang Ran shook his head without even thinking about it. “Emperor?
Sorry, I don’t even want to be the sixth prince, why would I want to be
the emperor?”
“But…” Gu Ruoyun paused deliberately before she continued, a sparkle

in her eyes, “The emperor gets to eat all the meat he wants.”
“What?”
Pang Ran’s eyes widened in shock as an indignant expression crept over

his face: “Who’s the one who wouldn’t let me be emperor just now? I’ll
fight anyone who won’t let me become the emperor! That throne is
mine! No one else is allowed to take it!”
It was probably only this natural airhead Pang Ran who would dare to
say something like this in the entire Black Tortoise Country. If anyone
had overheard what he’d just said, Pang Ran would definitely end up
getting charged with the capital offense of attempting to overthrow the
emperor.
www.asianovel.com
86
“Pang Ran, as long as you want to become the emperor, I can help you
get the attention of the Xia Family. However, you lack an assistant by
your side.”
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun thought of that person she had glimpsed in the

restaurant, the one who had seemed to be indulging in complete
debauchery. A hidden glint passed through her gaze.
“An assistant? Who?” Pang Ran watched her dazedly, suspicious.
“The fifth prince.”
When she spoke those three words, Pang Ran stilled. It was obvious that
he’d been rooted to the spot in shock.
That was to be expected. After all, the fifth prince had always been at
loggerheads with him. Their relationship was so bad that the fifth prince
was even one of his bullies, chasing after him to beat him up. Pang Ran
had suffered under that brat’s fists quite often over the years.
“Goddess, are you joking with me? How could he be my assistant? My

fifth brother might have some talent… Though of course, he can’t be
compared to you, Goddess.” While speaking, Pang Ran didn’t forget to
fawn over her, “But he has a terrible personality. I like to eat and drink,
he likes to play around. He practically lives in the brothel. In addition,
he’s an arrogant and spoilt brat. How could someone like him become
my assistant?”
Gu Ruoyun cast him a sideways glance. “Do you think that everyone’s
like you? When I first saw him, I already noticed his innate character.
He’s probably the one who’s concealed himself the best amongst all of
you!”
www.asianovel.com
87
Chapter 227

How could she have missed noticing that trace of hidden tolerance
underneath his playboy appearance? He was like a sword sheathed in a
boorish scabbard! Gu Ruoyun could see it as clear as day. If Pang Ran
was to become emperor, then he definitely needed a strong assistant by
his side.
The fifth prince was a good candidate for that!
However, Pang Ran felt that it was a little farfetched. He rubbed his head
and, puzzled, asked: “You said that Fifth Brother is the one who’s the
most well-hidden? Why would he need to do that? If he has any troubles,
couldn’t he just tell Father? Why would he need to become an arrogant
and bossy person?”
This fatty… was really naive!
Gu Ruoyun shook her head. Even though Pang Ran had hidden talents in
ruling a country, if he didn’t have someone to make up for his faults,
then he would probably end up getting sold off as a slave and helping
his own seller count his earnings to boot!
“Pang Ran, shouldn’t you know about the internal feuds in the palace by
now? If the fifth prince didn’t conceal himself, he would probably end up
like the rest of your brothers. The reasons the two of you are still alive is
because one of you is a natural born good-for-nothing who gave up on
www.asianovel.com
88
himself, and the other is an arrogant playboy who can’t bear to leave
the brothels. Think about it: since the two of you are not outstanding in
the least, who else could the crown prince’s seat belong to?”
“Third Brother?” Pang Ran’s expression alternated between stormy and

pale. He ground his teeth together, his voice beginning to tremble as he
said, “Are you telling me that the deaths of my brothers… had
something to do with Third Brother and Imperial Concubine Lin?”
At least this fellow wasn’t completely silly. He had managed to

understand the meaning behind Gu Ruoyun’s words in an instant. A well
of rage instantly filled to the brim within his chest, overflowing into each
and every one of his words: “Although I’ve never seen my eldest
brother, he was my full brother and my mother’s son. Before I was born,
he contracted an incurable disease and passed away. However, I will
never forget the many nights my mother hugged my older brother’s
sword and cried! And the many nights my father would sigh as he
watched my mournful mother! My eldest brother’s death became the
sorrow of my mother’s life! I’ll never forgive anyone who makes my
mother cry!”
This time, Pang Ran was completely enraged. If those people had only
touched him, he wouldn’t be so angry. However, those people had
actually caused his eldest brother’s death. Although he didn’t hold much
feeling towards the brother he had never met, he couldn’t turn a blind
eye to his mother’s sadness and depression.
Anyone who made his mother sad deserved a painful death!
“Relax, I’ll help you.” Gu Ruoyun patted Pang Ran on the shoulder, a
resolute expression on her delicate features.
For some reason, when he looked upon the young woman’s confident
stance, Pang Ran started to trust her from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if there wasn’t anything she couldn’t do! As long as she was
here, any plots would immediately vanish into thin air.
www.asianovel.com
89
“Let’s go.”
She withdrew her hand and rolled her shoulders with an easy smile on
her lips.
Pang Ran blinked and stared for a moment. When his senses finally
caught up, he hurried to chase after Gu Ruoyun, who was walking
towards the courtyard entrance, afraid that she would leave him behind.
……
“Yu-gege, wait for me.”
On the busy streets, a dainty figure chased after the youth in front of her
with some haste. Her flushed cheeks were full of grievance and
dissatisfaction; she finally gritted her teeth and sped up further to match
his pace.
“Yu-gege, didn’t we come out to look for the Godly Doctor for Uncle Xia?
Why are you suddenly heading towards Azure Dragon Country?”
Luo Li couldn’t understand him. Yu-gege had always been sickly since he
was young, and the doctors had predicted that he wouldn’t live past
fifteen years of age. However, just four years ago, that frail youth, who
had needed someone to support him just to walk, had miraculously
recovered. Not only that, he had risen through the cultivation ranks at a
godly speed with exceptional innate talent. He had become the top
person amongst the younger generation in Heaven City in a single
bound.
However, ever since he had recovered… Even though she had known
Yu-gege for so long, she could no longer understand him.
There were countless mysteries hidden beneath the exterior of that

elegant, experienced, handsome youth, unconsciously drawing people
to him like moths to a flame…

Upon hearing Luo Li’s words, the youth walking in front of her paused
and turned his head. His clear pupils were calm as he gazed at the
person following behind him.
Luo Li was a little stunned silly. She stared at the youth’s handsome
face, and a tender and loving expression appeared on her own small,
delicate face in an instant. However, she pouted as she said, “Yu-gege,
I’m only worrying about Uncle Xia’s illness. Uncle Xia is the young
master of the Xia Family; if anything happens to him, the Xia Family will
surely descend into chaos. The matter of finding the Godly Doctor for
Uncle Xia is more important.”
This youth looked to be about fifteen years old or so, and his appearance
was extremely delicate. His features were as exquisite and flawless as
fine porcelain, his eyes were clear and limpid, so bright that anyone who
gazed upon them would surely feel their heart skip a beat.
“I’m going to Azure Dragon Country to look for someone. No one else,
other than this person, will be able to cure Father. If you want to follow
me, then don’t talk too much. Otherwise, I’ll send you back to the Luo
Family immediately.”
When he recalled the words he had heard on the street just now, he got
excited for some reason.
www.asianovel.com
91
He slowly took in a deep breath and calmed his turbulent emotions.
Azure Dragon Country, Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun…
Jiejie, is that you?
The personality of that girl called Gu Ruoyun changed so much after she
woke up and she started showing off her abilities. I changed in the same
way and at the same time. I can’t think of any reason that would happen
if it wasn’t you in there.
I really can’t think of anyone else who would have such exceptional
abilities, who could grow so powerful in just four short years…
Jiejie, in our past lives, you suffered so much for my sake. This time, if I
can find you in my current life, then let me protect you for the rest of
your life!
If anyone dares to hurt a single hair on you, I’ll make sure they won’t
have any peace!
……
On the streets, Gu Ruoyun had just been happily chatting with Pang Ran
when her eyes were drawn to something. There was a slender figure in
front of her, and for some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him.
She stared intensely at him for a moment more, and in that instant, it
felt like her heart leaped into her throat as an uncertain hope filled her
chest in its place.
“Goddess, what happened?”
When Pang Ran noticed Gu Ruoyun’s sudden change, he found it

strange and scratched his head in puzzlement. However, Gu Ruoyun
didn’t answer him and simply sprinted towards the front with haste.
Right then and there, even the normally oblivious Pang Ran behind her
could sense the tension in her body… and excitement?
What had she seen to make her display such a change, when she had
always been so calm and unflappable?
www.asianovel.com
92
“Hyaa!”
Just as Gu Ruoyun was about to catch up to that figure, a luxurious

carriage sped past on the street; the dust that was blown up blanketed
Gu Ruoyun’s line of sight.
……
“Luo Li, I’m leaving.”
The youth hadn’t detected the movement behind him at all. A smile
grew in his limpid eyes as he said: “If you can keep up, then follow me.”
After he finished speaking, the youth leaped into the air and his slender
body turned into a rush of wind, speeding towards the city gates.
At that moment, the only thought in his mind was to get to Azure Dragon
Country as fast as he could, to see that person he was longing for just a
moment sooner… To tell her that he was still living, and had even
gathered the power to protect her.
However, he couldn’t have imagined that the person he had been

missing in his heart would actually be just a few meters behind him, and
that they were separated by just a single carriage…
……
The carriage charged across right in front of Gu Ruoyun, separating the

two. When Gu Ruoyun finally leaped over it, the youth’s figure had
already disappeared from the crowd of people. However, she could
never mistake that figure! That was Yu’er!
“He’s still alive, he’s really still alive…”
Xia Linyu, her only brother. He had been completely disregarded by that
bastard Xia Ming since he was young, because his body was too weak to
cultivate. Finally, he had been sentenced to death by that cold man! The
scene that day was still fresh in her mind’s eye, and just thinking about
it made her feel like her heart was being torn apart! She hadn’t
expected that she wasn’t the only one to have transmigrated… and this
www.asianovel.com
93
meant that her brother was still alive!
While thinking, Gu Ruoyun’s stirred up emotions manifested in streaks of

tears down her face.
She hadn’t cried when facing Xia Ming’s heartlessness. She had never
shown any sign of weakness when facing Lu Chen’s betrayal. Even if she
had died in the end, she had chosen to die magnificently.
Thus, this was the third time she had ever cried.
The first time had been when her mother and maternal grandfather’s
entire family had died!
The second time had been when her brother had been dismembered
alive in front of her!
The third time was right now, when she realised her brother was still
living in this world.
“Yu’er, don’t worry. Now that I know you’re still alive, I’ll find you, even if
I have to dig into the furthest corners of this world…”

Sister, is that you? He wondered.
The personality of the girl named Gu Ruoyun changed so much after she

If anyone dares to hurt you, I will ensure that they will never live
peacefully!

her eyes were drawn to someone — a slender figure in front of her. For
some reason, she could not take her eyes off of him. She stared
intensely at him and in that moment, she felt as if her heart had leaped

scratched his head in confusion. But Gu Ruoyun did not answer him and
sprinted towards the figure. Just then, even the normally oblivious Pang
Ran could sense the tension in her body and her... excitement?
www.asianovel.com

What had she seen to cause such a sudden shift in her demeanor,
especially since she had always been so calm and indifferent?
"Jia!"
Just as Gu Ruoyun was about to catch up to him, a luxurious carriage ran

past her on the street, bringing a cloud of dust that covered Gu
Ruoyun’s line of sight.
"Luo Li, I’m leaving."
The young boy did not notice the movement behind him at all. A smile
appeared in his limpid black eyes, "Follow me if you can keep up."
When he finished speaking, the young boy leaped into the air. His
slender body turned into a gust of wind and flew towards the city gates.
The only thought in his mind was to get to Azure Dragon Country as fast

possible… To tell her that he was still alive and now had the power to
protect her.
Of course, he did not expect that the very person that he was longing for

separated by just one carriage…
The carriage charged across Gu Ruoyun's path, separating them from

one another. When Gu Ruoyun finally had the opportunity to leap over it,
the young man had already disappeared from the crowd. But there was
no way that she could have mistaken it! That was Yu’er!
"He’s still alive, he’s really still alive…"
Xia Linyu, her only brother, had been completely disregarded by their
terrible father, Xia Ming, ever since he was a child simply because he

death! That very scene was still fresh in her mind’s eye. Just thinking
about it made her feel as if her heart was being torn into pieces! She did
not expect to find that she was not the only one who was reborn… Her
brother was still alive!
As the thoughts ran through her mind, Gu Ruoyun’s emotions

manifested into streams of tears running down her face.
She did not cry when faced with Xia Ming’s heartlessness. She did not
show any signs of weakness upon discovering Lu Chen’s betrayal. Even
if she had died in the end, she chose to die with dignity.

Pang Zihuang nervously paced back and forth in the royal study. His
eyes frequently flicked towards the door as anxiety crept over his
handsome face.
Sh*t! He thought. Why has that little brat yet to return? It has been so
long. We are going to give his ass a good whooping once he gets back…
At that moment, the door swung open. Aside from Her Imperial Majesty
the Empress, only one other person was allowed to meet him without
prior notice. Pang Zihuang, filled with rage, let out an angry roar and
rushed towards the door. Before Pang Ran could even react, a strong
arm grabbed and smacked him — right on the buttocks.
"You brat!" Pang Zihuang yelled. "When did you return? Do you have
any idea how long We have waited for you? Sh*t! You snuck out to eat
red roast pork again, did you not? We are going to strike your bottom
until it bleeds or We are not fit to be Your Imperial Father!"
To Pang Zihuang, the journey from the palace to the Sixth Prince’s
mansion would normally take around half an hour, but this guy took
www.asianovel.com
99
three whole hours to get home! He must have given in to temptation

and snuck into a restaurant for a snack. After all, it wouldn’t be the first
time. All it takes is a whiff of meat and the brat would lose himself
completely.
Pang Ran, however, had no idea why his Imperial Father went ballistic.
To him, he did not do anything wrong! Before he could even begin to
make sense of the situation, another hard smack landed on him. Pang
Ran jumped in pain and ran for cover, shouting, "Imperial Father! What
could I have possibly done to enrage you? Your punishment is not
justified – ow! Imperial Father, please stop hitting me! My buttocks are
going to split open! Save me, Goddess! My Imperial Father is going to
beat me to death!"
Unable to hide from Pang Zihuang’s hand, Pang Ran ignored everything
else and dashed towards Gu Ruoyun.
In his eyes, once he hid behind her no harm would come to him.
It was only when Pang Ran called out to Gu Ruoyun that Pang Zihuang
realized that she was in the room. He quickly put his hands behind his
back. With his handsome face showing clear signs of awkwardness, he
said, "You must be Lady Gu Ruoyun, the owner of the Hundred Herb
Hall? This brat almost angered Us to death… You must have had a good
laugh at the sight of Us."
"Uhm… Well…" Gu Ruoyun said in embarrassment. "Actually… the

reason why we arrived so late was not because of His Royal Highness
the Sixth Prince’s naughtiness… It was my fault. I bumped into an old
friend along the way, which caused our delay. His Royal Highness had
absolutely nothing to do with it."
"You hear that?" said Pang Ran angrily as he peeked out from behind the
young girl, but he quickly hid in fear again when Pang Zihuang shot him
a deadly glare.
Suddenly, a booming voice came from outside the royal study: "Your
Imperial Majesty, the Imperial Advisor requests an audience!"
www.asianovel.com
100
The Imperial Advisor? Pang Zihuang thought, creasing his eyebrows.
"Send him in," came his unenthusiastic reply.
Almost instantly, a hand pushed open the door and a white robed Lin
Yue entered the room. His gaze swept past Gu Ruoyun and Pang Ran
before landing on Pang Zihuang. He stepped forward and joined his fists
in a salute before bowing deeply, saying, "Your Imperial Majesty, I, your
humble minister, have come before You to request for a fair decision."
The Imperial Advisor held a considerably high position in Black Tortoise

Country. He was one of the few who did not need to kneel and kowtow
when meeting the Emperor. His privilege could go to such extent not
only because he was a clairvoyant, but also because his younger sister
had become a small concubine of a relative of the Xia family in Heaven
City! Even though the man was only a distant relative, and Lin Yue’s
sister was merely a concubine – no better than a mistress; so long as
one had any connections with the Xia household, even if they were a
simple household sweeper, no one would dare to cross them.
Therefore Pang Zihuang had no choice but to show respect to the

Imperial Advisor despite his personal disgust towards the man.

"Imperial Strategist, please state the issue in which you require Our
decision."
Actually, Pang Zihuang had already known of the purpose for Lin Yue’s
visit.
Obviously, Lin Yue had been notified of Pang Ran’s return and had come
to cause trouble. However, only We have the authority to discipline the
prince. We had previously closed one eye to anyone who dared to bully
the prince with the intention of helping him lose weight – that fat body of
his would sooner or later contract an incurable disease. Now that he has
lost weight, he would be faster than anyone who dared to try and touch
him!
"Your Imperial Majesty," Lin Yue said. "The Sixth Prince has been
neglecting his duties, and is only ever interested in eating, drinking, and
merriment! Moreover, he has been wreaking havoc at the restaurants. If
it were not for my own good fortune, I would have long been crushed to
death by his rear! He would often disappear without Your Imperial
Majesty’s approval. This is simply an outrage! Furthermore, he has
www.asianovel.com
102
knocked out the Minister of Finance’s son… He does not even respect his
elder brothers! In addition, he has found a woman to pose as the Master
of the Hundred Herb Hall to deceive you! This must be a joke! Why on
earth would the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall be here? It is
impossible! Your Imperial Majesty, you must punish him for his
treasonous acts!"
Lin Yue glared sharply at Pang Ran, whose face was full of objection,
with a trace of cruelty hanging on the edge of his lips.
All those years ago, if the trap that they had set for the Eldest Prince had
not drawn the attentions of the Xia family, he would not have allowed
the Sixth Prince to be born safely. So, in order to prevent himself from
getting into further trouble, he could not kill the Sixth Prince outright.
Therefore he had poisoned Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress during her
pregnancy so that the prince would be born as a good-for-nothing!
Additionally, based on his prophecy, His Royal Highness will never be
able to be free of this fate. Who would have thought that this guy would
receive inspiration to work hard? Even if His Royal Highness has no
chance of improvement, he cannot allow for this confidence. His Royal
Highness must revert to his old ways — self-abandonment and only
waiting for death!
"Hmph!" Pang Ran snorted. "You say that the Goddess is an imposter.
What proof do you have? Have you met the Master of the Hundred Herb
Hall before?"
"Proof?" Lin Yue smiled coldly. " Why should my words need proof? I am
the Imperial Advisor, I see through everything! Yet my eyes do not see
how this woman could possibly have any connection to the Hundred
Herb Hall. She is clearly an imposter!"
Lin Yue turned his gaze to Gu Ruoyun, and said, "My lady, please do not
be fooled into committing such a wicked deed. Deceiving His Imperial
Majesty is high treason, and your entire clan will be slaughtered as
punishment. Do not drag your own family members down the gutter for
your own personal interests; otherwise, you will die a thousand deaths
www.asianovel.com
103
for your sins. There is nothing in this world that I do not know. I have
seen your future and your past, and I know exactly what will happen to
you in the future."
Guo Ruoyun’s expression had remained indifferent from the beginning.

Her eyes stayed still and calmly stared at Lin Yue.
"Your future is riddled with misfortune," Lin Yue continued. "Your clan
will be exterminated because of you and you will be left alive and alone,
living a fate worse than death, then sold to become someone’s
concubine and be tortured every day. Finally, you will die a horrible
death. But even if you were to reincarnate into a human again, your fate
remains similar: Never receiving your husband’s love or the pity of your
loved ones. So unless your soul flies away and scatters, you will be
plagued with suffering for all eternity."
Gu Ruoyun smiled. No one could tell what that smile meant.
"You are indeed powerful, Your Excellency," she said. "However, have
you seen into your own future?"
"Of course," Lin Yue stared coldly at Gu Ruoyun’s face and licked his lips.
"My fate is to rise above all, to be respected and worshipped by many. It
is no use envying me. My great fortune stems from the accumulation of
countless merits from my past life. You, however, were a witch who
caused destruction, and killed people like ants… Everyone wanted you
dead. Even if you were to reincarnate a million times, your life would
never end well!"

Pang Ran’s jaw dropped as if he had just heard something completely

unbelievable. He had never really interacted with the Imperial Advisor
before and had no idea that he thought so highly of himself.
To rise above all, to be respected and worshipped by many? Tsk, tsk.

What did he mean by that? Only a thick-skinned person could spew such
shameless statements!
But it was not just Pang Ran who found this pronouncement appalling for
even Pang Zihuang’s face has turned into a particularly ugly expression.
What a complete disgrace to his own family! Pang Zihuang thought. His
Excellency is usually a fairly composed man, but today it seems as
though he has been seriously provoked. Has he lost his senses? That
must be it!
The more Pang Zihuang thought about it, the more he felt that his
theory was sound. He glanced pitifully at Lin Yue’s arrogant face, and
said, "Your Excellency, I understand the feeling of having Pang Ran’s
rear on your face, so it’s completely understandable that you would’ve
www.asianovel.com
105
somehow lost your wits. Luckily, the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall is
here today. I have heard that she is the Master of the Ghost Doctor
herself. Please let her examine you. Such wild behavior will not help
anyone."
Upon hearing Pang Zihuang’s words of concern, Lin Yue’s expression

sunk. Even if the person next to him was the supreme ruler of Black
Tortoise Country, he had always kept his anger under control.
"Is Your Imperial Majesty implying that this humble minister is brain
damaged? And does Your Imperial Majesty wish for this quack of an
imposter to cure me?"
This dog of an Emperor dares to chastise me! he thought, angrily. I

would have long assassinated him if it were not the Xia family rules
against changing dynasties at will in Black Tortoise Country!
"Your mother’s *ss!"
Pang Ran was enraged. To him, Gu Ruoyun was an invincible goddess,

and this swindling messenger of the gods had dared to reprimand her.
He simply could not tolerate it.
With eyes ablaze, Pang Ran pointed his finger at Lin Yue and spat on his
face.
"You motherf*cker — you are only the messenger of the gods, not a real
god. Even if you are one, one has never seen a god quite as ugly as you.
To say you look like a ghost or a goblin is already praise of a high order!
Are you not a clairvoyant? Are you not omniscient? Then tell me, what
meals did I have yesterday? How many times did I use the toilet? If you
cannot even answer these questions, how can you be considered
psychic? Come on, tell me my fortune!"
Lin Yue trembled in rage. He touched the spit on his face and glared
fiercely at Pang Ran. He then turned towards Pang Zihuang, joined his
fists and bowed, saying, "Your Imperial Majesty, His Royal Highness has
greatly insulted this humble minister! Please take action on my behalf!"
www.asianovel.com
106
"Huh?"
Pang Zihuang was shocked. He looked as if he had just woken from a

daze, unable to tell between fantasy and reality. "My apologies, Imperial
Strategist. We were in the middle of a daydream. What were you all
talking about? We did not manage to hear it. Could you please repeat it
all over again?"
Lin Yue, you wretched man, he thought. We have never liked the look of
you! If it were not for your connection with the Xia family, We would
never have allowed this disaster remain in the palace. And now he has
asked Us to punish Pang Ran? Tsk tsk. He must be delusional. What right
does an outsider like him have to issue punishments to a son from Our
family? Dream on, Lin Yue!
"You… You…"
Lin Yue took a deep breath. He could feel his heart trembling at that
very moment. In the end, he decided to calm his rage as his eyes fixed
sharply on Pang Zihuang.
"Very well then!" he spat. "Did you forget about the Xia family now, Your
Imperial Majesty? Should they ever find out what an incapable ruler Your
Imperial Majesty is, gone will be your seat on the Imperial Throne!
Hmph!"

After finishing his speech, Lin Yue threw his sleeves angrily and made
his way towards the door, stopping in front of Gu Ruoyun to stomp his
feet. His lips turned upwards into a ghastly curve as he said, "My lady,
sometimes when wrong decisions are made, your life could be entirely
destroyed. Heed my words, my prophecy will soon come true! Your poor
choice will result in a life miserable beyond compare! You will live a
browbeaten life for the rest of your days! Hahaha!"
Gu Ruoyun had remained silent since she last spoke, only staring icily at
Lin Yue.
"Do not worry, goddess," Pang Ran vowed solemnly, thumping his chest,
completely ignoring Pang Zihuang. "I will never allow anyone to hurt
you. When I become Emperor, my first order of business will be to send
Lin Yue into the dungeon!"
www.asianovel.com
108
Pang Zihuang was enraged. He swung his leg forward, giving Pang Ran a
real good kick in the butt and bellowed, "You dirty little brat! Your
Imperial Father is not yet dead and you are already dreaming of
becoming Emperor? What? Plotting to seize the throne?"
Pang Ran jumped in pain as he hurriedly covered his rear end and cried,
"Spare me, Imperial Father! Spare me! I was wrong! I admit my wrongs!
Please stop kicking me, aiyo! If Your Imperial Majesty keeps on kicking
me, I will no longer have an asshole! Then all the gossips will say that
Your Imperial Majesty has an heir without an asshole!"
"You insolent halfwit, how dare you f*cking curse your Imperial Father!
Fine! We will stop kicking you. We will beat you to death instead!"
Watching the scene unfold before her, Gu Ruoyun smiled gently.

Although Pang Zihuang was currently beating Pang Ran up with a stick,
she felt a sense of warmth, as if this was not the royal family but an
ordinary household. This was the first time she had seen royalty display
so much affection…
Of course, what she did not know was that the royal family of Black
Tortoise Country fell under the jurisdiction of the Xia family, and the
head of the Xia family respected sincerity. This was why they had
elected Pang Zihuang to become the Emperor.
"Foolish child, you better remember this!" said Pang Zihuang, gasping
for breath while pointing his stick at Pang Ran. "If you ever dare to curse
your Imperial Father again, We shall beat you until you are bedridden.
And do not even think of crying about this to your Imperial Mother! She
www.asianovel.com
109
has gone to visit her mother for a few days, therefore no one can shield
you now!"
Pang Ran tearfully massaged his swollen buttocks, deciding that once he
became Emperor, he would give this b*stard a taste of his own bottom-
whacking medicine instead. Furthermore, he would forbid him from
eating meat for a whole month.
"You are certainly full of energy, Your Imperial Majesty."
In that instant came a soft giggle from a side of the room, abruptly
bringing Pang Zihuang back to his senses. He wiped the sweat from his
forehead, looking clearly distressed.
"Lady Gu, how ridiculous We must seem to you," he bemoaned. "This

son is simply too disrespectful! Ah, right, the reason why We have
invited you here is to ask you to examine Our health. Why is it that We
have been experiencing such constant headaches. We have seen
countless Imperial physicians, and none have been able to solve the
problem."
After finishing his explanation, Pang Zihuang fixed his eyes on Gu

Ruoyun, and noticed the frown between her eyebrows. His heart gave a
loud thump.
Could it be that Our illness is incurable? he wondered.
After a while, the deep lines between the young girl’s eyebrows relaxed
and a kind of clear brightness shone in her eyes. She asked, "Did Your
www.asianovel.com
110
Imperial Majesty recently touch a plant named trigonotis peduncularis?"

Trigonotis peduncularis?
Pang Zihuang furrowed his brows. His eyes were full of suspicion. "What
trigonotis peduncularis? We have never heard of such a thing!"
"Trigonotis peduncularis is a kind of poisonous herb. Generally, anyone

who comes into contact with it will begin to experience its delayed
poisonous effects. If my guess is correct, someone has recently
presented Your Imperial Majesty with the plant as a gift. The plant had
probably withered within three days, and Your Imperial Majesty has been
experiencing acute headaches since then. Is this correct?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently, her eyes observing Pang Zihuang from the
start. Upon hearing her words, Pang Zihuang’s face sank, and his eyes
glazed over as if looking at a faraway landscape.
www.asianovel.com
112
But he remained silent.
Because he would not speak, Gu Ruoyun did not press for a reply. All in
all, even though Pang Zihuang was open-hearted, this matter was
confidential and he would not expose any palatial matters to an
outsider.
"Lady Gu," Pang Zihuang said, taking a deep breath, his expression
solemn. "Can We be saved?"
Gu Ruoyun nodded, raising the corners of her lips. "There is a way,

however…"
Upon hearing that he had a chance to live, Pang Zihuang burst into joy
and quickly said, "Lady Gu, as long as you can save Us, We will fulfill any
request!"
"Alright!"
A bright light flashed across her clear eyes, and Gu Ruoyun smiled
radiantly, saying, "Remember your words, Your Imperial Majesty! I will
soon write you a list of items. Please ask your men to find all the
ingredients listed, and send them to the Sixth Prince’s estate. I will
provide your medical treatment and administer a cure afterwards.
However, you do not have much time. It is best to find the medical
ingredients within three days. If we delay any longer, I cannot promise
that you will not encounter any problems."
www.asianovel.com
113
"Lady Gu, We guarantee that We will send over the ingredients in less
than three days. You only need to give Us the list!"
"Then… I shall await You at the Sixth Prince’s estate."
Gu Ruoyun raised a writing brush, and promptly wrote down the

ingredients for the cure on a piece of paper, then left the room with
Pang Ran. The moment they were gone, Pang Zihuang’s expression
turned cold.
"Servant!" he said solemnly. "Take this list to the Imperial Physician’s

office. Have them send the ingredients on the list to the Sixth Prince’s
estate immediately! Also, summon Imperial Concubine Lin."
Trigonotis peduncularis…
The very thought of the name froze his heart.
"Nice one, Imperial Concubine Lin," he muttered angrily. "So you have
all plotted to harm Us! If that child Pang Ran had not invited the Master
of the Hundred Herb Hall, We probably would not even know how We
died!"
Pang Zihuang gritted his teeth. He had always been particularly

generous towards Imperial Concubine Lin on account of her relation to
the Xia family.
Who would have known that that woman wanted Us dead! he fumed.
The trigonotis peduncularis herb had been a gift from Concubine Lin,

who told Us that it would help alleviate weariness. Who would have
expected for it to wilt in two days! At the time, We assumed that it was
some unknown plant that was difficult to care for. We never thought that
it was the cause of our ailment.
At that moment, a luxurious hand as white as jade slowly opened the

door to the Royal Study. A gorgeous woman in royal robes entered, her
footsteps as light as a lotus, her shimmering features moving ever so
delicately. She smiled softly and glided towards Pang Zihuang, before
bowing in greeting, "Your servant pays respect to Your Imperial Majesty.
This humble concubine does not know why she has been summoned.
What does Your Imperial Majesty request?"
Peng!
Pang Zihuang slammed his hand forcefully on the desk. An angry vein
rose over his temple — his face was livid with rage.
"Concubine Lin, are you aware of the crime you have committed?"

Imperial Concubine Lin staggered back in fright, her liquid black eyes
stared at Pang Zihuang’s handsome yet grim face in astonishment.
"Your Imperial Majesty, what has Your humble servant done to deserve
Your ire? If I have done anything wrong, I humbly submit to punishment.
All I ask for is that Your Imperial Majesty takes care of the Imperial
body!"
Her spoken words sounded fair and reasonable. Her lovely liquid black
eyes overflowed with concern, almost as if she was sincerely worried
about Pang Zihuang’s well-being.
"Take care of the Imperial body? Hah!" Pang Zihuang laughed derisively
while clenching his fists. His eyes stared coldly at Imperial Concubine
Lin’s gorgeous face.

It should go without saying that this woman was indeed stunning. Even
though she surpassed the Empress in looks, she did not have the
benevolence and sincerity of the Empress, who was a motherly figure to
the nation; neither did she have the latter’s elegance and grace.
Therefore, in his heart, none could ever measure up to the Empress, no
matter how beautiful they were!
"Imperial Concubine Lin," Pang Zihuang sounded grave as he gritted his

teeth. "Do you feel no guilt in the words you speak? We see that you are
far too anxious for Us to die an early death so that the Third Prince can
ascend the throne! Not on your life! We will not die, no matter what,
neither will We allow you to get away with your plan!"
"Your Imperial Majesty?" Imperial Concubine Lin looked up in surprise

and asked uncertainly. "Why would Your Imperial Majesty say such a
thing? When has this humble servant ever wanted to take the life of Your
Imperial Majesty?"
"Hmph! Are you still pretending? A few days ago, you sent Us a potted
plant as a gift. Now, We ask you, was the plant called trigonotis
peduncularis, which contains a slow-acting poison?"
Imperial Concubine Lin’s heart thumped loudly. Initially, she assumed

that her ploy would have stayed a secret. She did not expect that His
Imperial Majesty would have found out about it. It seemed that she could
no longer hide it.
So be it, she thought. I shall strike first and gain the upper hand!
www.asianovel.com
117
Imperial Concubine Lin’s eyes gleamed a strange glint at the thought.

She lightly puckered her lips and smiled, saying, "It seems that Your
Imperial Majesty has found out — what a pity that it is far too late!
However, if Your Imperial Majesty is willing to abandon and kill the
Empress, then I will gladly give the cure to Your Imperial Majesty.
Therefore, whether Your Imperial Majesty lives or dies… stays out of my
hands."
Angry thoughts crossed Pang Zihuang’s mind: If Imperial Concubine Lin’s

target had been Us all along, that would have been fine. We did not
think that she had wanted to harm the Empress as well!
This was because there were many instances where he, as the Emperor,
had no volition, and he had already let the Empress down many times.
How could We have caused another woman to harm her?
"You want to be Empress, Imperial Concubine Lin?" Pang Zihuang

laughed in spite of his anger. "Unfortunately, even your finger is unfit to
become Empress! There is only one true Empress of Black Tortoise
Country! Even if she were gone, We would forever leave her throne
empty. So do not even think about it! And do not even think about
asking Us to hurt her! The Empress is the love of Our life. Even if We
were to die from the poison today, We will never give in to your
demands!"
Imperial Concubine Lin laughed coldly, her glamorous face turned icy.
Simply due to her old affection for him, she had only wanted him to kill
the mother and son, for she would not have been so calculative. She did
www.asianovel.com
118
not expect that he would rather let the poison spread all over his body
than kill the Empress.
Nice, very nice! she thought. Then he’ll pay the consequences for his
stupidity!
"It seems like a choice has been made, Your Imperial Majesty. No
matter, Your Imperial Majesty will soon die a very sudden death. The two
other princes left in Black Tortoise Country — one is a good-for-nothing,
and the other is a drunkard whose only interest is in wine and women.
Only my son is fit to carry such a demanding responsibility! Ah, one
more thing; I should probably tell Your Imperial Majesty that my elder
brother and I caused the deaths of the other three princes — especially
the eldest prince! He looked particularly miserable as he died. He even
begged me to let the Empress off with her life once I have seized power.
Tsk, tsk, now why would I let her live? If it were not for her, I would have
become the Empress long ago!"

Imperial Concubine Lin’s face twisted into a sinister expression. She

laughed maniacally, as if she did not see the Emperor before her.
"You…"
Pang Zihuang clutched his chest with eyes wide open. He felt as if he
had trouble breathing, and shot a deathly glare at Imperial Concubine
Lin.
He had never felt such hatred in this entire life. Even if he had eaten her
flesh and drank her blood, it would never dissolve his loathing.
"It was you," he said aghast. "You were behind the First Prince’s sudden
death, you were also behind the deaths of the Second and Fourth
www.asianovel.com
120
Princes! Lin Fengyi, if We do not dismember your corpse piece by piece,

how shall We ever face Our dead sons or the Empress whose tears wash
down Her Imperial Majesty’s face every day?"
He let out a huge roar, spurting out a mouthful of blood, his pale face
turning chalk white. Pang Zihuang raised his head and glared at
Concubine Lin, saying, "What did you do to Us?"
With a frosty smile, Concubine Lin eerily said, "Did Your Imperial Majesty
really think I would let You live after my grand confession? Even though I
used to harbor feelings for You, I still cherish my life. If I let You go, my
death is certain. Therefore I placed a fatal poison on You during the
accusation. Oh, and do not bother seeking the guards outside for help,
for they have long allied themselves with my brother! What a useless
Emperor You are! Not only are You only capable of producing good-for-
nothings or dead princes, even the underlings have betrayed You! But
worry not, we would definitely need a scapegoat after Your death.
Seeing as the Sixth Prince was just here for a visit, my brother will be
sending his men to the Sixth Prince’s estate to capture the person
responsible for assassinating You—justice is assured!"
Tsk, tsk! she thought.
Pang Zihuang was so enraged, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

With his eyes ablaze at Imperial Concubine Lin, he spoke slowly,
"Imperial Concubine Lin, if you dare lay a hand on the Empress or Pang
Ran, even if We were to become a ghost, We would never let you get
away with it!"
www.asianovel.com
121
In that instance, his face became even whiter with an awe-inspiring

expression. For one fleeting moment, Imperial Concubine Lin felt panic,
but she quickly regained composure. She curled her enchanting lips and
said, "Have You forgotten who my brother is, Your Imperial Majesty? He
is a celestial being—respected by all! Do You think that a celestial being
would fear ghosts? Besides, with my brother’s prestigious rank in the
country, if he says that the Sixth Prince was responsible for poisoning
You, no one would suspect his words! Besides, as an Imperial Advisor
who can read fortunes, his words will never be seen as falsehood. So
rest assured, the Sixth Prince and the Empress will be accompanying
You very soon. Hahaha!"
Imperial Concubine Lin burst into a laughing fit, looking like a lunatic.
Her beautifully coiffed hair had now come loose, masking her gorgeous
face.
My Empress, for years I could not match up to You, and His Imperial
Majesty remains utterly infatuated with You! She thought jealously. But
soon, my son will become the Emperor of Black Tortoise Country, and
then death will come for You!
As if she had seen the usually grand Empress crawling at her feet,
Imperial Concubine Lin grinned and grinned, looking increasingly
deranged.
The Xia family would be the ones to choose the next Emperor, and they
would choose members of the royal household. Because the few princes
of Black Tortoise country were either dead or good-for-nothings, the only
eligible candidate was her own son, the Third Prince. After all, who else
but the Third Prince would be qualified enough to sit on the throne?

"Imperial Concubine Lin, you conniving pair will die a horrible death!"
Pang Zihuang gritted his teeth, his mouth dripping with blood. He had
been far too careless to meet Imperial Concubine Lin alone. He could
only hope that Pang Ran would remain safe under Lady Gu’s shelter.
Even if he could not inherit the throne, at least he could have peace…

At the Sixth Prince’s estate...
Pang Ran lay on his bed like a dead pig, letting maidservants apply
medicine on his swollen red rear. The severe pain made him wail like
slaughtered pig, and in his heart he cursed Pang Zihuang.
Mother of–could that jerk not have been a bit gentler? He thought
angrily. It was as if he wanted to beat me to death! Am I even his
biological child?
Amid his wailing, the bedroom door swung open. He jumped in fright,
hastily pulling up his pants, and yelled at the people at the door, "You
motherf*ckers! Can you not see that this prince has taken off his pants?
Get out of my room!"
www.asianovel.com
124
Hiss!
The intensity of Pang Ran’s movement pulled on the wound on his

buttocks. He grimaced in pain, his mood even worse than before.
Incidentally, the person at the door was the Imperial Advisor Lin Yue,
and behind him a group of burly imperial guards. He moodily stared at
Pang Ran’s buttocks. Every time he thought of how the foolish brat’s
rear had once sat on his face, he had to control himself from tearing
those buttocks to pieces.
"Shit!"
Noticing Lin Yue’s gaze, Pang Ran clenched his buttocks in shock, and
hurriedly covered them with his hands. He backed away, saying, "Lin
Yue, I do not have any form of unsavory habits. Do not plan on starting
anything with me! I am not interested in those kinds of things, especially
because you are so ugly!"
"Pang Ran! Are you looking for death?"
Lin Yue gritted his teeth upon hearing the kid’s shameless words, smiling
frostily, "You have conspired to assassinate His Imperial Majesty, and
you dared to besmirch the good name of the Imperial Advisor! Your
entire estate is now surrounded by the imperial guards—you cannot
escape!"
www.asianovel.com
125
He had always hated the kid.
If it were not for his damned Imperial Mother, he fumed. My little sister
could have received her rightful place as the Mother of the Nation. But
His Imperial Majesty had been biased. No matter how outstanding the
Third Prince had become, His Imperial Majesty still favored this good-for-
nothing! Having trash like His Royal Highness alive in the world would
only be a waste of food and resources. His Royal Highness’ death should
be a nationwide celebration! Furthermore, His Imperial Majesty had
never appreciated my goodwill, disregarding my hard work for Black
Tortoise Country!
"Wait a minute."
Not completely grasping the subject, Pang Ran cocked his head, staring
suspiciously at Lin Yue. His tone turned serious, "What do you mean?
Conspired to assassinate my Imperial Father? What has happened to my
Imperial Father?"
Lin Yue smiled coldly, "Is Your Royal Highness still pretending? You are
quite the actor. It is a pity that you never joined the theater, Your Royal
Highness! Fine. Because you are feigning ignorance, then as per your
request, I will tell! Shortly after your visit with that phony quack, His
Imperial Majesty has died from poisoning! Do you dare say that it was
not you who poisoned His Imperial Majesty? Pang Ran, you have
conspired with an outsider to assassinate His Imperial Majesty! How
shall we punish you?"
My sister had given His Imperial Majesty a highly toxic poison which can

kill a person in half an hour, Lin Yue thought maliciously. Since it is now
approximately half and hour, that Pang Zihuang should be dead by now!
Black Tortoise Country will be ours from now on!
Hong!
Pang Ran’s mind went blank after hearing Lin Yue’s words.
"Poisoned to death" were the only words in his mind.
No, he panicked, thinking quickly. Impossible! The goddess said that it

will take three days for the poison from the trigonotis peduncularis to
spread completely! Only a few moments have passed, so how could my
Imperial Father have died from the poison? This must be their doing.
That’s right! My Imperial Father must have met the siblings and was
then poisoned! They are the ones responsible for assassinating my
Imperial father!

"Lin Yue, you son of a b*tch. I’m going to kill you!"
Pang Ran’s eyes turned blood red, like a bloodthirsty wolf ready to kill.
He leapt towards Lin Yue with only one thing on his mind—to kill Lin Yue
and avenge his Imperial Father!
Bang!
Before Pang Ran could even touch Lin Yue’s robes, he was kicked and
sent flying by the latter’s bodyguards. His body fell onto the bed, shaped
like the number eight. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as he gasped
for breath.
For the first time, he regretted his lack of training.

For the first time, he felt remorse for ignoring his Imperial Father’s
advice all these years.
Now he was not even capable of taking revenge.
"Hahaha!"
Pang Ran laughed, insanity creeping up his pale face. His blood red eyes
glared at Lin Yue, as if carving his features in his mind’s eye to
remember his face in his next life.
"Lin Yue, you claim to be a celestial being, yet you commit crimes that
only demons would do! You have lied and swindled for many years. Get
ready to face retribution soon! You will die a horrible death!"
"Retribution?"
Lin Yue eerily said with a frosty smile, "I have worked hard to
accumulate karmic points in my past life. In this life, I have worked hard
to contribute to my country and have participated in many charitable
works, and killed many evil criminals. Hence, such retribution will never
fall upon me! The real people who should face judgement are kinslayers
like you!"
Pang Ran’s body began to tremble, he clenched his fist and looked at Lin
Yue in rage. But the sharp pain in his body made him too tired to stand,

much less avenge his Imperial Father’s death.
"Where is that phoney Hundred Herb Hall woman, Pang Ran?" Lin Yue
slightly squinted his eyes with a cold smile. "Do not try to hide her. Even
if I do not manage to deal with her, do you really think that the powers
that be of the Hundred Herb Hall would allow anyone to offend their
leader? I am doing this for the sake of Black Tortoise Country, or else the
powers of the Hundred Herb Hall will bring disaster to our country! I am
doing this for the sake of our people! After all, the master of Hundred
Herb Hall has an azure dragon and a white tiger as her spirit animals.
She is closely linked to the Dongfang family, and has good connections
with various powerful entities. Under these circumstances, not even the
Xia family would protect Black Tortoise Country!"
No one else knew about the current situation in the Xia family, so how
could Lin Yue have known? It has been reported to him that the young
master of the Xia family was heavily ill, and the whole family has been in
disarray because of it. How could they possibly care about Black Tortoise
Country? Hence, he simply did not want to provoke the Hundred Herb
Hall—especially not that woman who has been called a demon god by
everyone in the Four Countries!
If I could capture this phony Hundred Herb Hall woman, I just might be
able to establish good relations with the Hundred Herb Hall, he
schemed. I might even be able to request for a slot in the pill-purchasing
quota—money certainly cannot buy that!
As for the Longevity Pill that Pang Ran had presented to Pang Zihuang, I
did not even bother to give it a second look. After all, none of them had
ever seen a true pill; who would have known if it was fake? Pang

Zihuang trusted in Pang Ran, which was why he believed in the phony
product. I, Lin Yue, would never fall for such things! Those string of pills
are merely ordinary medicinal pills. Pang Ran was only trying to suck up

Pang Ran glared fiercely at Lin Yue, so angry that he wanted to yell at
someone. At that very moment, a luminous and elegant figure appeared
under the sunlight, wearing the same green robes, her hair cascading
like a waterfall, the young girl’s lips carried a faint smile, her eyes as
clear and calm as still waters.
"Oh? Are you sure that you can use me to win the favor of the Hundred
Herb Hall?"
Her tone was so subtle, no one could tell how she was feeling. Only her
clear eyes darkened, her lips curved slightly upwards.
Pang Ran wasn’t sure why but seeing Gu Ruoyun in this state gave him
an indescribable sort of feeling. However, he quickly repressed the
unusual feeling upon hearing Lin Yue’s solemn voice, "You’ve arrived
www.asianovel.com
132
just in time. Men, arrest this imposter! I want to present her for her
crimes to the Hundred Herb Hall!"
It wasn’t because Lin Yue didn’t believe in whom Gu Ruoyun really was.
If she had been a citizen of Black Tortoise Country, he might have
seriously reconsidered. Unfortunately, it was Pang Ran who invited her.
Seeing as Pang Ran was such a useless good-for-nothing, how could he
possibly have connections with the Hundred Herb Hall?
She’s obviously a fake! Lin Yue thought.
Gu Ruoyun completely ignored him and walked straight to Pang Ran who
was sprawled on the floor. She then took out a pill and put it into his
mouth. Once the pill entered his body, Pang Ran felt completely
relieved, his aches and pains disappeared.
God-like! Pang Ran thought, amazed. This was simply miraculous!
Pang Ran’s eyes shone, If I had these pills, I wouldn’t have to worry
about getting beaten up ever again!
"You want to arrest us?"
Gu Ruoyun turned around, speaking calmly, "Alright, I’ll take a stroll with
you."
www.asianovel.com
133
Even though Lin Yue could see what Gu Ruoyun was doing, he didn’t
manage to see what she had fed Pang Ran with. Therefore, he didn’t
think too much of it, only waved his hand and said, "Men, take these
treasonous assassins away!"
"Yes, your excellency!"
A few of the guards advanced to tie them up, however once Gu Ruoyun
shot them a look, they jumped and backed away, not daring to take a
single step further.
"There is no need for trouble, Imperial Advisor. We will follow you on our
own." Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly. "Pang Ran, let’s head to the palace to
investigate the situation regarding your Imperial Father. Trust in me.
Nothing bad will come when I’m around."
Trust in me…
Pang Ran’s heart felt moved. He raised his head, looking at the young
girl’s calm figure. He wasn’t sure why, but Gu Ruoyun’s words made him
believe in her.
Nothing bad will happen with her around!
Hearing her words, Lin Yue smiled disapprovingly.

Heaven City, at the Xia family residence.
Within an ancient secret chamber, an old man carried an expression of

respect. His elderly features looked as if he was filled with pious
devotion towards the heavenly object, his body was stooped into a low
bow, not daring to raise his head, as if doing so would be blasphemous
to the heavenly object.
If the rest of the Xia family were here to see this, they would certainly be
shocked! Just who was this old man? He was the Head of the Xia family,
the most important person in all of Black Tortoise Country. In this entire
world, aside from the Three Great Authorities, to whom would he be
displaying such great respect? However, if anyone had seen what was
before him, they would have been even more surprised.
The "object" before him was not human, but a spiritual beast with the
body of a tortoise and a snake-like head! The spiritual animal sat on an
altar and lowered its head to look at the man before him.

survival will be none of my business!"
The ancient voice sounded highly displeased, Master Xia began to

produce a bout of cold sweat.
"Lord Lingxiao, fret not. I have recently received the information you
need, all we need to do is confirm it."
Master Xia could not feel even the slightest discontent, for the reason
why the Xia family could remain strong for thousands of years was
because they had a strong power overseeing them! This spiritual beast
www.asianovel.com
136
has been around for thousands of years, inherited from generation to

generation, and only the heads of the Xia family knew of its existence.
Furthermore, the Xia family has been searching for two people for over
thousands of years, yet none of them knew who they were! Obviously,
once the head of the Xia family issued an order, no one dared to
question it.
"Hmph!" Lingxiao said coldly, "I certainly hope that this information is
accurate, otherwise, I will no longer shelter the Xia family!"
If the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon were here, then this spiritual
beast must be the Black Tortoise. Unfortunately, they have yet to appear
in the Xia family’s residence in Heaven City…
Master Xia immediately felt nervous after hearing those words and said
hurriedly, "Lord Lingxiao, I’ve received new information, I’ve heard that
Azure Dragon Country has a strong power backing the Hundred Herb
Hall, there are people who have seen the Master of Hundred Herb Hall,
Gu Ruoyun summoning an azure dragon and white tiger. I would
immediately invite her to the Xia Residence, but these words are only
rumors and I’m still unable to confirm them. In order to prevent exposing
who you really are, Lord Lingxiao, please wait for me to receive
confirmation before inviting her over to meet you."
The Black Tortoise Lingxiao paused, muttering incoherently to himself,

then slowly nodded his head, "Good. Then I’ll give you one last chance!
If the information you have is once again false, then I will leave the Xia
family immediately!"
www.asianovel.com

"Do not worry, Lord Lingxiao."
A part of Master Xia’s heart shook, aside from Lingxiao’s protection over
the Xia family, it is also closely linked to the Xia family’s lifeline. If it
were to abandon them, then the Xia family will face extermination after
a few generations.
Hence, he must meet that woman, Gu Ruoyun no matter what, and

personally confirm the truth behind the rumors.
Lingxiao’s true identity was of great importance, hence, prior to

confirming whether the Azure Dragon and White Tiger are in the
possession of the other party, Master Xia cannot carelessly bring just
anyone to meet with him…
...
Meanwhile, in the Xia family courtyard, a middle-aged man stared coldly

at his reporting subordinates, and said gravely, "Are you saying that Xia
Linyu and that girl from the Luo family have left to Azure Dragon
Country?"
"Reporting to Second Master, I’ve heard that Xia Linyu has gone to Azure
Dragon Country to seek Guo Ruoyun of the Hundred Herb Hall, he even
says that Gu Ruoyun is the Ghost Doctor’s master, and has a great
abundance of knowledge in medicine. He believes that she will be able
to cure his illness." The guard bowed his head respectfully as he
answered.

"Hehe!"
The middle-aged man laughed softly, and sinisterly said, "Gu Ruoyun?
She’s only a silly little girl. I don’t understand how the shrewd Ghost
Doctor could possibly join her, she must have concocted a grand
scheme. I do not believe in rumors, neither do I believe that that little
girl would possess such capabilities. I’m not even going to give that
elder brother of hers a chance! Send your most skilled men to Azure
Dragon Country, and find her before Xia Linyu does!"
A shadow fell on his eyes, a cold smile flashed across the middle-aged
man’s face.
As long as that kid dies, the Xia family will be mine… He thought
sinisterly. Gu Ruoyun? Hehe! She’s only a little girl in her teens. He will
never allow her to foil his plans!
Actually, the middle-aged man wasn’t too worried about Gu Ruoyun. His
main concern was in the Ghost Doctor’s prodigal medical skills, if the
Ghost Doctor were to offer help, it would be troublesome. Of course,
based on the Ghost Doctor’s temperament, it would be extremely
difficult to receive her help. However, if he were to murder Gu Ruoyun,
and pushed the blame on Xia Linyu’s father, no matter how many
benefits the Old Master Xia provided, they would never be able to
persuade the Ghost Doctor for help…
...
At this very moment, Gu Ruoyun, who was following Lin Yue to the
palace, was completely unaware that the Xia family had sent two parties

Otherwise, I would have you on your knees calling me master! And you,

end as this swindling Imperial Advisor!"
Pang Ran’s curses continued non-stop throughout the journey,

frustrating everyone around him who couldn’t wait to silence his mouth
with a smelly old sock. It was only because of Lin Yue’s silence that the
guards had forced themselves to remain tolerant. However, their faces
were livid every time they heard his ugly words.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yue coldly said, his eyes swept over Pang Ran’s face, "You may say
whatever you want for now, Your Royal Highness, for you will not have

the opportunity to do so soon enough, as you will be sent to the

dungeons. Once you’ve been sentenced, your deaths will come very
soon!"
"Who says that I’ll be going to the dungeons? I want to see my Imperial
Father, and where is my Imperial Mother?"
Pang Ran rolled his eyes, he would never go anywhere near the
dungeon. His only concern was his Imperial Father’s health.
"Haha!"
Lin Yue laughed loudly, as if he had heard a funny joke, his smile full of
ridicule, "You still insist on seeing His Imperial Majesty? Dream on! I will
never allow you to go near Him. The dungeons is where you should be.
And as for your Imperial Mother… She has already been banished to the
cold palace. However, I might let her live, if you begged me."
"F*ck!" Pang Ran was enraged. He raised his head, clenched his fists and
charged towards Lin Yue.
This guy has brought harm unto my Imperial Father, and still dared to
bully my Imperial Mother. I will never forgive his sin!
However, before his fist could even land on Lin Yue, he was blocked by
the latter’s hand. Lin Yue smiled gravely at him, and directed a heavy
punch towards Pang Ran’s stomach.
www.asianovel.com
142
In that instant, Gu Ruoyun, who had remained silent since their

departure from the Sixth Prince’s mansion, finally made a move.
She took a step forward, pushed Pang Ran aside with one arm, and
stood in his place. The punch that Lin Yue had intended for Pang Ran,
landed on Gu Ruoyun instead.
Some of the people around them could not bear the sight of it. To them,
the young girl looked frail and thin, a little too thin. She looked much too
delicate to even stand, how could she be able to absorb that punch?
They reckoned that she would soon spit out a mouthful of blood, and fall
dead on the ground.
But then again, everyone else thought, not only did she pose as the
Master of Hundred Herb Hall, but she also conspired with the Sixth
Prince to assassinate His Imperial Majesty! Hence, these were the
consequences of her wrongdoings!
However, the crowds’ eyeballs soon fell to the ground.
The young girl that they thought would be spurting out three liters of
blood, was instead standing in the same spot, as tall and steadfast as a
proud bamboo tree. A small gust of wind blew and her green robes
fluttered, her imposing aura created a force field over her delicate
figure.
Lin Yue’s large arm, on the other hand, now had a bloody gash. Soon,

the blood poured over his entire arm, as if it had been split open! Seeing
this, the guards who had initially raised their swords, ready to attack,
have all involuntarily retreated a few steps backwards, their eyes wide
with shock.
Just how much power would one need to have, to reach this level? One
thought.
This woman is clearly abnormal! Thought another.
"Aaargh!"
Lin Yue’s eyes turned a bloody red, raised his wounded arm and charged
towards Gu Ruoyun again. His eyes burned with hatred, his aura was
cruel and sinister.
Die! He thought. This woman must die! Otherwise, the hatred in my

heart will never be resolved!

This time, Gu Ruoyun remained still, her proud figure stood beautifully
upright against the gentle winds, her pure, beautiful face was enveloped
in a faintly bright light, her eyes were like clear black pools of water,
calmly staring straight at the clamoring man charging towards her.
Awoooo!
Without a warning, a large snow wolf leaped from behind Gu Ruoyun,

opening its wide mouth and bit the man’s thigh ferociously. Its sharp
teeth sank deep into Lin Yue’s thigh, blood poured out from its mouth.
The intense pain made Lin Yue’s entire body shake, but most of it was
due to shock.

A spiritual beast! He thought in shock. This woman has a spiritual beast!

However, the appearance of this spiritual beast happens to confirm that
she is not the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall!
There have been many rumors surrounding the owner of the Hundred
Herb Hall, the most impressive of all was her control over Azure Dragon
and White Tiger, not a single one of them had mentioned that she also
had power over a snow wolf.
Pang Ran’s eyes widened, he had a strong urge to shout out loud.
Too cool! He thought, excitedly. That’s a spiritual beast! A majestic snow

wolf, I’ve never seen such a powerful spiritual beast!
However, upon hearing Gu Ruoyun’s calling out the snow wolf’s name,
Pang Ran’s expression cracked immediately.
Baobao? He thought. What… What kind of a name was that? This

majestic snow wolf, was actually given such an adorable name?
As a matter of fact, in the beginning when Gu Ruoyun gave the snow

wolf its name, it was vehemently against it. But its protests were of no
avail. In the end, it accepted the name.
"You damned girl, have your snow wolf release me immediately! Or else,
don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Yue’s face turned white from the pain, he roared angrily, his body
shook violently. The loss of blood from his wound was weakening him.
Hence, that one statement sapped out most of his energy.
Gu Ruoyun curled her lips and she moved slightly. She smiled and
quietly said, "They’re here."
Here? What’s here? Pang ran questioned, staring at Gu Ruoyun’s smiling

face, blinking his eyes in confusion. Just as he was about to ask Gu
Ruoyun what had happened, the sound of a uniformed march could be
heard from ahead.
He turned his head to find his richly-dressed Fifth Imperial Brother

leading an armor-clad middle-aged man towards them.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, ordering the soldiers behind him
to stop, and strode towards them.
"General?"
Why is the General here? Pang Ran didn’t understand any of it. What’s
happened? Why has the General brought so many people here?
Lin Yue was equally confused. However, remembering everything that

Gu Ruoyun had done to him, he hurriedly said, "Oh great General! Make
www.asianovel.com
147
this woman release me!"
The General, however, never even looked at him. Instead, he made his
way towards Pang Ran.
The General kneeled before Pang Ran, in front of everyone, and said
respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, the Sixth Prince. This vassal has
arrived late, please forgive me, Sixth Prince!"
Before Pang Ran could fully realize what was happening before him, the
sound of Lin Yue’s voice came shouting angrily, "General! Do you want
to wallow in the mire with these traitors? He stabbed His Imperial
Majesty in the back! Not only are you not arresting His Imperial
Majesty’s assassin, but you’re helping him as well! Are you not afraid of
angering everyone else?"
The General glanced sideways at Lin Yue, coolly said, "Your Excellency,
the Imperial Advisor. I’m afraid that you of all people should understand
the reason behind all this! The Fifth Prince has summoned me after
witnessing everything! What more do you have to say?"

In Black Tortoise Country, many people considered the Imperial Advisor

as a man of the gods. However, only the General never paid any
attention to him.
He had always felt that the Imperial Advisor was no more than a
cheating swindler. Knowing the past, present and future… What
nonsense! Only a bunch of idiots believed his words.
"Fifth Imperial Brother?"
Pang Ran blinked his eyes, staring at the Fifth Prince confusingly.
He didn’t know why, but he felt that his Fifth Imperial Brother looked
particularly different. However, he simply couldn’t put his finger on it.
www.asianovel.com
149
"General!"
Lin Yue was angered to his very core. Unfortunately, with his thigh firmly
in Baobao’s mouth, he didn’t dare make a single move. He was only able
to glare furiously at the General’s expressionless face, then sweeping his
eyes towards the Fifth Prince. Suddenly, he laughed, and taunted, "I
understand now… You were all conspiring against His Imperial Majesty.
Are you not afraid that your families will be slaughtered by nine
generations?"
He was actually gritting his teeth through those last few words.
However, in the end, the General didn’t even raise his eyelids, his voice
coldly said, "Men, take Lin Yue away! I will now make my way to visit His
Imperial Majesty."
"Yes, Lord General!"
Hearing this, Baobao finally released its grip, raising its paw, sending Lin
Yue flying towards the army with one giant slap. Just as Lin Yue was
scrambling to get away, countless weapons raised towards him. He
couldn’t get away now.
The Fifth Prince walked towards Gu Ruoyun’s side, his eyes full of
gratitude. He hesitated slightly before finally saying, "Thank you."
www.asianovel.com
150
This time, Pang Ran was completely dumbfounded, he rubbed his head
and said, "Goddess, what… What’s going on?"
How could I not have known that the goddess and my Fifth Imperial
Brother had already known each other? He thought, bewildered. Aside
from that one time in that restaurant.
Gu Ruoyun smiled softly, giving no explanation.
Once she and Pang Ran had left the palace, she knew that Pang Zihuang
would have immediately questioned Concubine Lin, based on his
temperament. So she went off to find the Fifth Prince. Initially, he was
astonished at her visitation, but upon discovering that Pang Zihuang’s
life was in danger, he immediately recovered his natural instincts.
Then, Gu Ruoyun gave him a string of Antidote Pills, asking him to head
to the palace immediately, and to feed them to Pang Zihuang once
Concubine Lin had left.
She strongly believed that the Antidote Pills would work because based
on Pang Zihuang’s strength, even secret attempts of assassinations
didn’t work on him, only poison! The Fifth Prince had indeed heard a lot
of shocking information, and sneaked in to feed the Antidote Pills to
Pang Zihuang after Concubine Lin and her brother left, then summoned
the General for his help.
As for the reason why Gu Ruoyun did not warn Pang Zihuang of the
danger before him, it was entirely because she wanted to use the
www.asianovel.com
151
opportunity to expose Concubine Lin and her brother’s wild schemes.

This way, Pang Ran would be able to inherit the Imperial throne. When
all is said and done, it was merely a trigonotis peduncularis plant. That
would not be enough to accuse them of treason. After all, they could
simply make up an excuse to say that they had never seen the trigonotis
peduncularis plant, and Pang Zihuang wouldn’t be able to do a thing…
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from Lin Yue’s mouth, "Do you really think
that the General can save you? Have you both forgotten who I am, Fifth
and Sixth Prince? The Xia family’s young master, Xia Yu, is my brother-
in-law, if you lay a hand on me, the Xia family will never let you go! And
you, Pang Ran, did you think that you could become Emperor just
because you’ve defeated us? Keep dreaming! Haven’t you heard of
keeping the goodies within the family? Why would the Xia family let an
outsider like you become the Emperor?"

Pang Ran rolled his eyes and replied disdainfully, "What do you mean
the "Xia family’s young master"? Only those directly descended from the
family deserve that title, that guy is only a distant relative. To put it
kindly, he is a member of the Xia family. To put it nastily, he’s only a
distant relation of the Xia family, especially since you aren’t really his
father-in-law. Your little sister is only a lowly concubine! The connection
is far too messed up to even go anywhere. Generally, only the brothers
of true wives deserve to be called brother-in-laws, what are you?"
Pang Ran spoke the truth. Upon hearing those words, Lin Yue’s face
burned with fury, but he covered it quickly with a cold smile, a malicious
intent flashed in his eyes.
"Pang Ran, you think it’s that simple, don’t you? My brother-in-law has
long intended to purchase a string of Longevity Pills from the Hundred
Herb Hall. Whatever sins this woman has committed in the past, she
www.asianovel.com
153
should not have impersonated as a person from the Hundred Herb Hall.
So I sent word to him, and he should be on his way here. Haha! As long
as he hands this woman over to the Hundred Herb Hall, they would
always remember him for his deed and allocate a slot for him in their
quota. Do you think anyone could withstand the attractiveness of those
pills?"
Lin Yue smiled coldly. He had always known that if he were to ever make
a move against Pang Ran, that stubborn General would never sit idly by,
he had always disliked him! Hence, for extra insurance, he sent
someone to inform Xia Yu of this. True enough, once he had heard that
someone was impersonating the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Xia Yu
wasted no time. In his eyes, this woman would be his bargaining chip to
win the favor of the Hundred Herb Hall.
A proud organization like the Hundred Herb Hall would never allow
anyone to impersonate their own master! He thought.
"Hehe!" Lin Yue laughed softly, and said icily, "Pang Ran, if you didn’t
make anyone impersonate the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, I would
not have been able to make anyone from the Xia family react. This is
what you would call, don’t invite death unless you wished to die! You did
this to yourself! Did you really think that you could rely on your own
strengths to oppose the powers of the Hundred Herb Hall? Dream on!"
The General furrowed his brows and glared at Lin Yue frostily. If the Xia
family were to get involved in this, it would indeed be a problem…
"Men, lock him up!" ordered the General, his wrinkled brows relaxed.
www.asianovel.com
154
Just as he issued the order, a sneering laugh was heard, the arrogance in
the voice was incomparable.
"Lin Yue is one of my own, I’d like to see who’s dared to mark himself
with death and laid a hand on him!" A middle-aged man dressed in gray
robes appeared, walking slowly towards them. His stature and looks
were considered average, sheer arrogance gleamed in his sharp
eyebrows, his eyes swept across the people before him in disdain.
While he did not possess much power in the Xia family, to most people,
having the Xia name gave him the right to treat everyone with
arrogance! He looked at the lowly peasants with an air of extreme
superiority.
"Young master Xia Yu."
Lin Yue’s eyes brightened. He hurriedly said, "Young master Xia Yu,
please save me! The Sixth and Fifth Princes have joined forces to
orchestrate my death, the General is on their side, and that audacious
girl, impersonating the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall! They placed no
importance to the dignified Xia family!"
"The Princes of the Imperial Household?"
Xia Yu looked scornfully at Pang Ran and the Fifth Prince, and laughed
mockingly, "You are mere dogs to the Xia family! Isn’t the Imperial
Household supposed to listen to the orders of our Xia family? You, little
www.asianovel.com
155
Princes, dared to harm one of my own? What daring of heavenly

proportions! Even dogs learn not to bite their masters, this world has
certainly changed, no?"

Pang Ran and the Fifth Prince’s faces turned ugly. It’s true, the Xia
family had complete control over the succession of the Imperial Throne,
but the Imperial Family certainly were not the Xia family’s dogs! Aside
from the line of succession of the Imperial Throne, other matters were
determined by the Imperial Family themselves. The Xia family has never
interfered. Yet this guy has humiliated them to such a degree!
However, compared to Pang Ran’s temper, the Fifth Prince was far more
stable. His eyes looked solemnly at Xia Yu, not saying a word.
Over the years, he has learned to conceal his emotions, otherwise, he

probably would have been assassinated a few times already…
Noticing Pang Ran’s urge to step forward in anger, Gu Ruoyan raised her
hand, blocking his way. Her clear, beautiful eyes fell on Xia Yu’s face,
www.asianovel.com
157
smiling softly, "It would seem that even the Head of the Xia family has
never made the Imperial Family of Black Tortoise country his watch
dogs, could it be that you have greater rights that the Head of the Xia
family himself? Or have you always been yearning for the position as the
Head of the Xia family? Do you plan on going beyond the sacrificial altar
and taking over their kitchen?"
Her smile was light and clear, her eyes like sharp rays of light stared
straight at Xia Yu.
Now it was Xia Yu’s face that had turned an ugly shade. He was merely
distant relative and did not have a prominent position in the family.
However, the young girl’s words had undoubtedly pushed him to where
the wind and waves are the fiercest. If Master Xia heard this, he would
never let him hear the end of it! Evidently, he had underestimated this
clever and eloquent woman.
"Hmph!"
Xia Yu showed his disagreement, curled his lips coldly and shot a glance
towards Gu Ruoyun’s calm face, "You’re the girl who’s impersonating as
the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall? You’re already powerless to defend
yourself, and yet you're still involving yourself in this matter? You’re
truly reckless!"
At that very moment, Pang Ran’s clenched fist began to shake, his heart
was desperately worried over Pang Zihuang—they’ve been standing
here very far too long. He did not know if his Imperial Father could hold
on any longer.
www.asianovel.com
158
"Let’s go."
As if reading Pang Ran’s thoughts, Gu Ruoyun’s eyes swept briefly over

Xia Yu’s arrogant face, coldly turned her gaze away, and icily gave the
order, "Baobao, if anyone dares to stand in my way, kill without mercy!"
Kill without mercy–
The three words spoken sounded like thunder, exploding beneath the
skies, making Lin Yue’s face, which was originally filled with hope, fall
like dead ash.
He had initially thought that this imposter would have been afraid of the
Xia family; instead, she didn’t even bother with giving face to them.
This is it. We’re truly finished… He thought hopelessly. No! I don’t want
to die! Especially not in this uncomfortable place!
"Fifth Prince, Lord General, both of you and this woman will die a
horrible death! Haha, I’ve already seen your destinies! If you kill me
now, your days in the future will be filled with immeasurable suffering!"
"And you, the soldiers and officials of Black Tortoise country, my

heavenly eyes have seen it, it was the Sixth Prince and this woman who
conspired to poison His Imperial Majesty! Are you really siding with the
enemy? How could my words possibly be lies? If you are truly loyal to His
www.asianovel.com
159
Imperial Majesty, you will join me and kill this wicked woman and
avenge His Imperial Majesty!"
"Since I can read fortunes, I know what happens next, and soon the
Hundred Herb Hall and the powers of the Xia family will arrive! If you
help me defeat this woman, I will ask them to take pity on you, and
request for you to receive a string of pills from the Hundred Herb Hall!
Do not be afraid of their words! This woman may have a Martial King
level spiritual beast, but the most powerful men of the Xia family are
arriving soon, you only need to hold on for a little longer, and then you
will receive endless glory and riches!"

Since the altercation began, many people had gathered in the entire
passageway.
That included guards and eunuchs, even officials who have heard of His
Imperial Majesty’s demise due to poisoning.
In their opinion, every word the Imperial Advisor says is the truth. Since
he says that that woman must die, she must die! Comparatively
speaking, they would be able to meet with the Hundred Herb Hall and
the most powerful men of the Xia family!
Hence, they all thought, as long as we defeat her, we will receive

countless glory and riches!

Even though Xia Yu felt that Lin Yu’s words were disgraceful, once he
thought of how Gu Ruoyun had embarrassed him, he decided not to
dispose him, only staring coldly at her pure and beautiful figure.
"I promise in the name of the Xia family, Lin Yu speaks the truth! The Xia
family will reward whoever that defeats this woman with countless
benefits!"
Upon hearing Xia Yu’s words, the crowd rolled up their sleeves for battle,
staring greedily at Gu Ruoyun’s face.
"Grr!"
Baobao let out a low growl, its vicious pupils swept across the faces of
the people who were preparing to step forward and its eyes were filled
with menace.
A spiritual beast at Martial King level was certainly a huge threat to

them, but the thought of obtaining a pill and promised rewards, the
crowd marched forward after retreating two steps back.
People forget their fears when faced with greed.
They believed that since the Imperial Advisor had already seen their
futures, it proved that no harm would come to them. This woman is the
one who will die. So why should they retreat?
www.asianovel.com
162
"Hahaha!"
Witnessing the situation, Lin Yue laughed loudly, his eyes were burning
with sinister venom, coldly focusing his attention on the pure and
beautiful figure.
"Damned girl, still remember my prophecy for you? Your entire family
will die a horrible death because of you! Only you will survive, and end
up sold off to become someone’s concubine, and live the rest of your life
in suffering! This prophecy will soon be fulfilled. So what if you had the
General’s protection, or a Martial King spiritual beast in your possession?
Can you oppose the colossal powers of the Hundred Herb Hall and the
Xia family?"
Death? That would be too easy for the girl! He thought. Since she was
willing to throw away her own life by helping that good-for-nothing Pang
Ran, she must bear the consequences! In order for everyone to
understand the accuracy of his prediction, this woman must be sold off
to become someone’s concubine! Haven’t I been doing this for many
years?
From the very beginning, in order to be seen as a living and breathing

celestial being, he had always predicted the fortunes of others, and then
sneakily made his own predictions come true. He has even gone so far
as to wipe out a few families for this! Of course, those people were
innocent, but so what? For the sake of his rank and title, it didn’t matter
how many people had to die.
True enough, after everything he had done, he had become the Imperial
www.asianovel.com
163
Advisor of Black Tortoise Country, respected by all, because his

predictions were never wrong!
Lin Yu smiled sinisterly as if he had already seen Gu Ruoyun’s

exceptionally miserable face, while he was the Imperial Advisor, set up
on high, receiving high esteem and admiration from the entire world.
"Are you quite certain that the Hundred Herb Hall would lay their hands
on me?"
Right when Lin Yue was indulging in flights of fantasy, a sound of light
laughter was heard, and his heart thumped. He quickly regained his
senses, smiled coldly and said, "Of course!"
"Oh, really?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly, her finger stroking her chin, "Since when has
the Hundred Herb Hall begun to listen to your commands? I’ve never
heard of it. Unless you’re implying that the Hundred Herb Hall actually
belongs to you?"

"Hmph, of course the Hundred Herb Hall wouldn’t listen to my orders!

However, you’ve impersonated the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall.
This crime is heavy enough for you to be sentence to death a million
times! Furthermore, the Hundred Herb Hall is now as bright as a sun at
midday. Many powerful men want to win their favor in order to obtain
their pills. You’ve provoked such a fearsome power, and you still want to
remain self-righteous? Keep dreaming!"
Lin Yu smiled coldly, his eyes looked at Gu Ruoyun’s curled lips coldly,
solemnly marking her as a dead woman.
"Is this guy an idiot?" Pang Ran stared disdainfully at Lin Yu, as though
he were a complete idiot, saying such words in front of the owner of
Hundred Herb Hall, even saying that their master should die a million
times?
www.asianovel.com
165
Has he taken his daily medication? Pang Ran wondered.
Honestly speaking, Pang Ran trusted Gu Ruoyun completely, never

doubting her identity. Besides, Gu Ruoyun could present so many pills
without hesitation. No one in this world would have such an ability
unless they were from the Hundred Herb Hall.
Does Lin Yue or the Xia family have such abilities? He wondered. Even
the Three Great Authorities would not have such boldness!
"When have I ever said that I wanted to appear self-righteous?" asked

Gu Ruoyun with a small smile on her face. "Since you’ve asked to meet
the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall, then I’ll grant your wish! Baobao,
head to the Soaring Phoenix Palace and protect Her Imperial Majesty the
Empress."
Imperial Mother? Pang Ran quivered, How could I have forgotten, my

Imperial Father had already been poisoned, I myself am on the brink of a
crisis, that wicked Concubine Lin would never let my Imperial Mother get
away!
"Is this woman an idiot?"
Seeing what Gu Ruoyun had done, the crowd was confused.
That Martial King spiritual beast was this woman’s guardian, and yet she
ordered it to leave? They questioned. Once the spiritual beast leaves, it
www.asianovel.com
166
wouldn’t help the situation despite the General’s presence. After all, this
distant relative of the Xia family was a high-level Martial General! One
level higher than the General himself!
Even the General thought of this and furrowed his brows. However, he
stayed silent, and issued an order, "Soldiers! Protect the safety of the
Princes and this lady!"
"Yes, sir!"
In that instant, the soldiers drew their weapons and created a formation
around the three.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yu sneered scornfully, his eyes taunting, "Bunch of
crickets and ants! You'd dare make an enemy of the Xia family? Very
well! You’ll soon regret your decision!"
Swoosh!
Xia Yu’s body was like lightning, as fast as a hurricane. A large sword
appeared in his hand, directed towards Gu Ruoyun to strike her head-on.
He believed that the only one who was even remotely threatening was
Gu Ruoyun.
Especially since this woman had gone as far as to slander me, I must
www.asianovel.com
167
make her die a horrible death! He thought.
Gu Ruoyun’s had a small smile on her face the entire time, and show no
sign of using any form of defense. Her beautiful eyes remained as calm
as water, remaining silently steadfast in front of the crowd, independent
of the world. At that moment, all the weaknesses in her body were
exposed to Xia Yu. He only needed to reach her to end the woman’s life.
Xia Yu laughed disdainfully, I thought this woman had some sort of

ability! I certainly never thought that she would collapse at the first
blow. Doesn’t she know her weaknesses must be concealed when facing
a master? What did she do instead? She’s actually just quietly waiting to
die!
That’s right.
Exposing your weaknesses when facing a master, is a very fatal move!
Unfortunately, in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes, Xia Yu was no master. She had no

need to conceal anything.

"Hong!"
A stream of green aura came rushing out when Xia Yu was about to
reach her, sending his body flying like a heavy weight streaking across
the sky, before being forcefully thrown onto the ground.
"This… This aura…"
Before he could fully understand how he could have been flung by Gu

Ruoyun, he was shaken by the latter’s terrifying aura. He widened his
eyes in shock and disbelief at the calm and composed young woman as
his body shuddered, "A high-level Martial King, there is no mistake! She
is a high-level Martial King!"
www.asianovel.com
169
"What? A high-level Martial King? Impossible, just how old is this little
girl? Such a young high-level Martial King, that's impossible!"
"But… But that’s what Xia Yu of the Xia family said himself, and he’s a
powerful high-level Martial General. She’s also managed to send him
flying in an instant with one blow, who else could possibly do this aside
from a high-level Martial King?"
Hisss!
The crowd was filled with an outpouring of shock.
This lady did not look older than eighteen years of age, such a young
high-level Martial King, is the world turning into heaven?
Lin Yu’s face turned pale and stared straight at the young woman’s pure
and beautiful face. He gritted his teeth in hatred, mostly due to his
trembling heart! Never in his wildest dreams would he have guessed
that this imposter would actually have been a powerful Martial King!
Out of everyone else, only Pang Ran did not seem the least bit surprised.
Instead, he observed the faces of the shocked crowd. Not to forget that
he had previously caught sight of Gu Ruoyun’s breakthrough to the
Martial King rank. His reaction then was much bigger than everyone else
in the area, nearly wanting to cut a sliver in the latter’s body to check its
structure.
www.asianovel.com
170
Is there a need to be so perverse?
Three months ago, Gu Ruoyun was rapidly improving while training Pang
Ran at the same time. That was when she had her breakthrough to
Martial King!
"Didn’t you say that the Hundred Herb Hall would never let me get
away?" asked Gu Ruoyun with a slight smile on her face.
Lin Yue angrily grit his teeth and said, "Even if you are a Martial King,
there is also a high-level Martial King residing in the Hundred Herb Hall.
Besides, I hear that the owner of the Hundred Herb Hall has an Azure
Dragon and a White Tiger as her spiritual beasts, do you think that you
can oppose such a power by simply relying on your own capabilities?
You really don’t know when to give up!"
Lin Yu was banking on making Gu Ruoyun fear the powers of the

Hundred Herb Hall, as long as she was afraid, they would still stand a
chance.
"The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger?" Gu Ruoyun dug her ears,
laughed softly and said, "Do you mean these two?"
Hong!
At that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to have lost their colors.

Two beams of light erupted from Gu Ruoyun’s body, one green and one
white, intertwining towards the skies until the green light shot up
towards the skies, and the white light landed on the ground, both taking
the shape of two large bodies.
"So it is you who dares to insult my mistress?"
Yunyao smiled softly, stepping gracefully towards the flabbergasted Lin

Yu, her fierce tiger-eyes alight with fiery rage, smoke erupting from
dense clouds.
She had long disliked this shitty Imperial Advisor, who had the audacity
to lay his hand on the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall. He didn’t even
bother to look into who her mistress really was! Would her mistress have
worked hard in building up the Hundred Herb Hall for this bunch of

Besides… An eighteen-year-old woman, a young and peerless genius!
Aside from the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, who else would have
such powerful talent? We’ve definitely been deceived by the Imperial
Advisor this time!"
"What Imperial Advisor? He’s only a spiritual scoundrel! If he had such

knowledge of past, present, and future, how could he have been unable
to predict someone’s identity? All these years, we’ve completely wasted
our time in admiring this man!"

Hearing the surrounding noise, Lin Yu’s face turned from green to white,
then white to green again.
It was obvious that he was frightened!
Was this woman truly the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall? What rank or
talent did Pang Ran have to establish a connection with such a person?
No! I don’t believe it!
This isn’t real!
"Don’t listen to that woman! That’s not even the Azure Dragon or the
White Tiger! She’s using some way to trick us, she’s a fake! How could a
good-for-nothing like Pang Ran have met the owner of the Hundred Herb
Hall?"
Lin Yu bellowed madly.
However, no paid him any attention, even Xia Yu was scrambling to find
a way out of this.
This is all that idiot Lin Yu’s fault! He thought, angrily. He dared to tell
me things without confirming the situation! I had wanted to establish a
relationship with the Hundred Herb Hall and use it to my advantage. This
is the complete opposite, I’ve insulted the Master of the Hundred Herb

Hall!
Xia Yu felt his body burn with rage at the thought, he walked straight
towards Lin Yu and fiercely kicked him, saying angrily, "Lin Yu, you’ve
brought calamity upon me! For so many years, how many lives have you
destroyed in order to prove that your predictions were accurate? How
many families have you ruined? I closed my eyes to it all on account of
Lin Die’er! This time, it’s even better, you’ve even set your sights upon
the Hundred Herb Hall, even if you f*cking want to die, don’t drag me
down with you!"
Shuaaa!
In an instant, the crowd exploded. No one could believe what their ears,
their astonished eyes fell on Lin Yu’s dusty face.
"What did Xia Yu of the Xia family just say? In order to prove himself, Lin
Yu destroyed many lives?" said one.
"Oh, I’ve said this before, how could his predictions have possibly been
so accurate, until all hell would break loose on a person who would die in
no more than two days, even giving out ‘predictions’ on which family
would be entirely exterminated, and they would indeed be exterminated
by the second day, I really thought that his words came from the
celestials, turns out that I was used! I have never met such a selfish and
conniving man, too damned shameless!"
The crowd scolded Lin Yu viciously as if they had forgotten that they

were all completely bewitched by Lin Yu to go against Gu Ruoyun.
"Yunyao, Tianqiong, watch Xia Yu and Lin Yu for me. Pang Ran, let’s go
visit your Imperial Father, He should be waking up soon."
What?
Lin Yu’s eyes widened, he exclaimed in surprise. " Pang Zihuang is still
alive? That’s impossible!"
Upon uttering his final word, he was immediately astonished at what he

had revealed. He was so afraid that he began to tremble, his face turned
pale.
"Lin Yu, you’ve finally confessed to causing harm upon His Imperial
Majesty?" the General smiled coldly, "Furthermore, the fact that His
Imperial Majesty is still alive must be a huge disappointment to you, am
I right? However, this General will not exceed one’s place and meddle in
other people’s affairs and punish you. We’ll wait until His Imperial
Majesty awakens to take action! You’d better behave yourself! Hmph!"
The General straightened his sleeves and followed Gu Ruoyun towards

Pang Zihuang’s palace.
At that moment, Lin Yu’s looked as dead as ash, his eyes full of despair.

He suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up with hope

again…
The Third Prince!
That’s right. The Third Prince was not in the Imperial Palace at the
moment, but as long as he was alive, there was still a chance for them
to take revenge and wipe up this grudge.

At the Soaring Phoenix Palace.
Imperial Concubine Lin sat gracefully on a luxurious chair. Her long

fingers softly caressing a gold phoenix robe, a complacent smile hanging
on her lips. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the woman held to the ground
by a guard and said in a provocative voice, "I just don’t understand how
a face like Yours could receive so much love from His Imperial Majesty.
I’m a thousand times prettier than You, so why won’t he pay full
attention to me? All the pampering I’ve received is probably on account
of the fact that my little sister is the concubine of the nobleman Xia Yu."
She couldn’t accept it. The Empress certainly wasn’t beautiful or all that
virtuous. She wasn’t even from an all-powerful background, so why did
His Imperial Majesty choose her to become his Empress?

The title of the Empress should be mine!
I’m the only one who is suited to be the Mother of the Nation!
The Empress raised her head, smiling coldly and staring daggers at
Concubine Lin, whose gorgeous, delicate face was as beautiful as
peonies, "Imperial Concubine Lin, We are the Empress of this country,
you stormed in and broke into the Soaring Phoenix Palace, aren’t you
afraid that His Imperial Majesty will punish you for your impudence?"
"Hahaha!"
Imperial Concubine Lin laughed loudly, her blood red nails lightly tracing
the intricate phoenix embroidery on the phoenix robe, her eyes filled
with taunting.
"This phoenix robe is really beautiful, it’s a waste for You to be wearing
it. In this entire world, only I can truly bring out its beauty! Don’t You
agree, Your Imperial Majesty, the Empress?"
She laughed mockingly, raising her head to observe the Empress’

changed expression, "Besides, His Imperial Majesty has met His demise,
so don’t even hope for Him to come save You. Furthermore, the one
behind His Imperial Majesty’s demise was Your precious son, Pang Ran.
Tsk tsk. That Pang Ran sure is bold, conspiring with an outsider to
assassinate His Imperial Majesty. The Imperial Advisor is now on his way
with his guards to lock him up, he will be beheaded soon!"

Hong!
Like a bolt of lightning appearing from clear skies, the Empress’ cold,
indifferent face immediately turned pale. Her body began to tremble,
her dark eyes showed deep pain. His Imperial Majesty has met His
demise? And the one responsible for it, was Ran’er?
How could it be? This cannot be true! It’s definitely not true!
"It was you!"
Suddenly, the Empress reacted, struggling to charge towards Imperial

Concubine Lin, Her eyes filled with fiery rage, she looked as though was
ready to gobble someone up.
"You caused His Imperial Majesty’s demise! It must be you! Imperial

Concubine Lin, you’re certainly full of daring, His Imperial Majesty has
been treating you well, and yet you assassinated Him! Haha, you want
to destroy His Imperial Majesty and Ran’er, and Us? Do it, then. Even if
you descend into hell, we will be together. You, on the other hand, will
live out your life old and alone. Hahaha!"
The Empress let out a crazed laugh, and Her vermillion hairpins fell to
the ground, causing Her hair to be in disarray like a madwoman.
She had always known that Imperial Concubine Lin loved His Imperial
Majesty, just as much as the Empress herself loved Him. But She never

thought that hatred would grow from that love and that Imperial
Concubine Lin would end up assassinating His Imperial Majesty.
Imperial Concubine Lin’s eyes darkened, a cold smile hung on her face,
"You think I would fulfill Your wishes? Never! I’m not letting You die, so
You can never be together! All of you! Make sure to beat her ruthlessly,
I’m sure that the feeling of beating up an Empress will be quite
enjoyable!"
After she had finished, the court eunuchs and palace maidens rubbed
their hands gleefully, walked forward.
These were all Imperial Concubine Lin’s lackeys, whatever she says,
goes. Seeing as the Empress was now incapacitated, Black Tortoise
Country pretty much belonged to Imperial Concubine Lin, and seeing as
Imperial Concubine Lin had painted the Sixth Prince as the criminal who
assassinated His Imperial Majesty, even the Xia family would not have
very much to say.
In this instance, would anyone pity the Empress’ suffering?
Not to mention the fact that beating up the high and mighty Empress
would be a very enjoyable feeling!
