"And..."

Leng Yanfeng's voice paused, his already cold eyes growing frostier, "I won't allow anyone insult junior Shi Yun!"

"Haha!"

Zuo Shangchen laughed madly. His phoenix eyes slanted upwards slightly. His eyes were full of scornful humor.

"You want to defend your junior Shi Yun, that's your problem, none of my business. But, you may not touch this girl! Don't say that I didn't warn you. If you touch her, there is one person who'll never forgive you!"

Gu Ruoyun was astonished. She looked at Zuo Shangchen, slightly puzzled. What did he mean by that?

"Hmph!" Leng Yanfeng snorted. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up. His cold face had on a very sour expression.

"Zuo Shangchen, we don't need you to stick your nose into our Azure Dragon Country's business! Also, we, Azure Dragon Country and the Vermillion Bird Country are not on good terms. What business do you have with your reckless visit?"

Zuo Shangchen pouted. Surely he could not say that his coming here was purely out of curiosity about Gu Shengxiao's beloved little sister? If that man knew that he had sneaked his way here, he would immediately rush over to cut him down.

When he thought of this, he squinted his eyes slightly and smiled charmingly.

"Don't you worry Your Royal Highness. I will pay His Majesty, the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country, a visit in due time."

At that moment, Leng Yanfeng was shooting out an endless stream of cold air. His ice-like eyes looked at Zuo Shangchen's evil face and he said, poker-faced, "Then, I will look forward to your arrival at the royal palace!"

When he finished saying this, he gave Gu Ruoyun one last glance.

"Gu Ruoyun, if junior Shi Yun fancies that man, then nobody on the planet can fight with a lady as lovely as she. Becoming my concubine is your only choice. Think about it carefully. I look forward to our answer."

When he finished, he did not waste any more words. He waved his sleeve and left, leaving behind an ice-cold silence.

"Tsk tsk, Little Yun'er, I didn't think that your standards would be so low. You fancy Leng Yanfeng, a man with no morals and no looks?" Zuo Shangchen curled his lips into a smile. He had completely forgotten that Gu Ruoyun had only met him for the first time.

That was why, upon hearing the words "Little Yun'er", she could not help but shiver, her whole body feeling cold.

"Do I know you?"

She rubbed the tip of her nose, slightly speechless as she asked.

"You don't know me before, but you'll know me after," Zuo Shangchen put on a country-toppling smile, his winks like flowing waves."But I have long heard of your name."

He was implying that he had learned of her existence from Gu Shengxiao.

However, Gu Ruoyun had misunderstood him.

"Oh?" Gu Ruoyun raised the corners of her lips and said disapprovingly, "It seems that my reputation has spread far and wide. This good-for-nothing name has already traveled to the Vermillion Bird Country."

At that moment, the corners of Zuo Shangchen's eyes twitched strongly and he chuckled, "Before this, you were indeed a good-for-nothing. But after your battle with that kid today, I don't think anybody will call you by that name again. Although your talents are not those of a genius, for the average person, it's not bad."

"What if I'm a good-for-nothing? What if I'm a genius? No matter what the people call me, it's none of their business. I don't have to prove myself."

The girl's voice brought with it a vicissitude of seeing through the antics of this world. It made Zuo Shangchen unconsciously open his mouth in shock. Suddenly, he remembered the message discovered by Qing Yi, and his phoenix eyes abruptly turned cold.

He never thought that after Shengxiao had left the Gu family, this girl had almost died once. After going through that ordeal, she had no choice but to grow up...

Sadly, Gu Shengxiao was now cultivating in seclusion. He could not convey the message to him. Or else, judging by his character, he would have rushed over immediately and wiped out the Gu family.

By the way, aren't you supposed to leave now?" Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zuo Shangchen with half a smile. "Or do you need me to escort you out?"
Zuo Shangchen's gaze was a bit sad. "Little girl, I have helped you. Is this how you treat someone who has helped you?"

"Then, what do you want?"

"Erm," Zuo Shangchen caressed his chin lightly with his finger, his body sprawled out on the lazy chair. He winked at Gu Ruoyun with a charming smile. "I don't want much. Seeing that I have helped you just now, how about you give me a hug?"

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun smiled. Her pretty and delicate face was generous with smiles.
Then, she paused briefly before saying, "Shopkeeper Zhao, go and give him a hug."
In an instant, Zuo Shangchen's expression turned sour. Did this girl not know that he was a neat freak? Usually, he would not let anybody near his body, not even his servant girls. Of course, that kid Gu Shengxiao was an exception. He was joking with his previous sentence, but he did not expect her to take his word for it, and now she wanted a bad old man to hug him...
Seeing Shopkeeper Zhao walking towards him, Zuo Shangchen was disgusted and almost had goosebumps. Especially that smile on that sunflower face...in his eyes, it was as evil as the big bad wolf grinning at the little white rabbit.

At that moment, his peerless servant girls took out their long swords at the same time. They all pointed their swords at Shopkeeper Zhao who was walking towards Zuo Shangchen. Their eyes had a cold glow like the swords in their hands as if they could kill a person in an instant...
Shopkeeper Zhao hesitantly looked at Gu Ruoyun, while Gu Ruoyun's smile grew even more prominent.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, didn't you ask for a hug? I'm giving you one, what is with this attitude of yours?"

Zuo Shangchen opened his fan and smiled. "Little girl, this time I'll admit defeat. However, I did not expect you to still have ties to the Dongfang family. From what I gathered, the Hundred Herb Hall belonged to Dongfang Shaoze, and not long ago, Dongfang Shaoze seemed to have given Hundred Herb Hall over to another person. From the looks of it, that person is you!"
He did not leave out the part where the shopkeeper of Hundred Herb Hall answered to Gu Ruoyun.

Looks like the rumors were largely untrue. Gu Ruoyun did not join Hundred Herb Hall out of luck in obtaining Shopkeeper Zhao's mercy, but the Hundred Herb Hall was indeed hers!

When he thought of this, Zuo Shangchen squinted slightly. He raised his lips into a smile. "You have too many secrets. I have the urge to reveal them all."

"Then, you're bound to be disappointed," Gu Ruoyun snorted, "Shopkeeper Zhao, show our guests the way out."

When he heard Gu Ruoyun's order for the guests to leave, Zuo Shangchen smiled lazily. "Xiao Yun'er, one day, I will dig out all your secrets."

Then, he spoke to his servant girls beside him, "Let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The servant girls held their swords in salute. They quickly lifted the soft chair up, turned and walked towards the door.

The moment they turned in the other direction, the lazy smile on Zuo Shangchen's lips gradually disappeared. He slowly closed his eyes and went into deep thought.

Life comes from Dongfang? Could it be that the person who would change his fate was truly at Dongfang? But his Master was a reputable person; surely he would not deceive him.

When he thought of this, Zuo Shangchen's face took on a wry smile...

"The person who would change my fate and the genius that master observed are at Dongfang. The only thing is that this Azure Dragon Country is so big. I wonder which one of these people is the one I'm looking for..."
