Evil Emperor his wild consort (Regular Updates)

Burned The Old Fart's Clothes

Was this not considered as 'enemies on a narrow road'?
Gu Ruoyun sighed helplessly. She certainly did not expect to bump into Dongfang Yan on the second day of her visit to the Dongfang Family.
"Xiao Yan, what's happening?"
A voice filled with concern sounded from behind Dongfang Yan. A young man in embroidered robes came into view and appeared by Dongfang Yan's side. He frowned at Gu Ruoyun, who stood in front of the two.
"Who is she?"
"Lin Shao, you've come just in time. This woman was brought in by the Young Master but she knows nothing about the rules. She had entered the Dongfang Family's forbidden strip, I was just about to bring her in for punishment!"
Dongfang Yan arrogantly raised her head and stared at Gu Ruoyun with disdain.
"Oh?"
The man who was addressed as Lin Shao shot a glance filled with loathing at Gu Ruoyun and let out a scornful scoff, "A woman brought home by Dongfang Shaoze? What relationship could you possibly have with Dongfang Shaoze?"
"What sort of relationship do you think?" Dongfang Yan sneered scornfully, "That Dongfang Shaoze shields her so much, you don't need to think too far to guess that it's that sort of shameful relationship. A nice little lady does not need to use that sort of 'benefit' to seduce a man. I, Dongfang Yan, have always looked down on shameless women like you."
The disdain showed clearly on Dongfang Yan's heroic-looking face. From what she could tell, this woman had latched herself onto the Young Master in order to gain favor with influential forces. How could she be of any good? But it was simply too bad that the Master would never allow a woman like her to enter the Dongfang Household.
There was also that silver-haired man by this woman's side, but regardless of how powerful that man was, he's no match for the powers of the Dongfang Family.
"That's right, women like her are extremely disgusting. Only you, Xiao Yan, can be considered outstanding as you've always relied on your own talent and power to get to where you are now." Lin Shao said as he lovingly scraped Dongfang Yan's nose, "Unlike some people, who think that gaining favor can ensure that she'll never have to worry about clothes and food for the rest of her life but scarcely realizing that in this mainland, only the strong are respected. Relying on a man would be useless - only with one's own strength can one gain a foothold. I wonder when she'll actually be able to understand this principle."
Lin Shao spoke with mockery and ridicule, his gaze was filled with scorn as if the young girl before him had done something absolutely shameful.
Gu Ruoyun had her arms crossed over her chest from the very beginning and watched the two as they echoed each other with a half smile on her face.
"Lin Shao? Your surname is Lin?" Her lips curled as the young girl's smile grew more pronounced, "So you are not a member of the Dongfang Family? It would seem that this Dongfang Family isn't much if they simply allowed anyone to enter their ranks."
"What drivel are you saying?"
Lin Shao's eyes turned cold and he scoffed, "I might as well tell you the truth, my younger sister will soon become Young Master Dongfang's wife. Our two families may not be considered equal but based on my sister's looks and talents, she's indeed a good match for Dongfang Shaoze. Even if she becomes Dongfang Shaoze's wife, my sister will not simply attach herself to him. This was something a woman like you, who only knows how to hitch a ride to the sky on a dragon or a phoenix, can never match up to."
Uncle is getting a wife?
Gu Ruoyun cocked an eyebrow and wondered, how was it that I have never heard him mention this?
Besides, my uncle's looks are like a celestial being from a picture, I certainly don't know what woman could stand next to him and be not be outshone by him...
"I'm tired," Gu Ruoyun yawned then curled her lips into a smile, except her dark eyes had sunk into a pair of bottomless pits, "If there's nothing else, please excuse me."

"Hmph."
Dongfang Yan scoffed coldly as she raised her red whip and placed her serious face in front of Gu Ruoyun's way. She arrogantly raised her chin, "I don't care what kind of person you are! Seeing as I'm the General of the Dongfang City and a member of the Dongfang Family, I have the right to punish you! You are not to blame for this, the blame lies solely the fact that you've entered the Dongfang Family's forbidden strip. Furthermore, I've caught you in the act. So this General shall offer you a piece of advice, obediently allow your hands to be tied and await capture to avoid suffering physical torment."
Gu Ruoyun squinted her eyes slightly and raised her lips into a half smile, "What if... I won't?"
"Then do not blame me for being discourteous!"
Shua!
The red whip was flung towards Gu Ruoyun. Her attack was cruel and she cracked her whip with the intention to harm the young girl. If that whip hits her, even if she didn't end up dead, she would probably be crippled.
Gu Ruoyun's gaze darkened and she spoke coldly, "Do the members of the Dongfang Family normally use public office to avenge private wrongs? If that's the case, then I'm going to teach you a lesson in that old fart's place..."
Hong!
A burst of flames rose from Gu Ruoyun's body and rapidly advanced towards Dongfang Yan.
Dongfang Yan panicked for a moment. She never thought that this woman would dare show such open defiance in the Dongfang Family's territory! After all, in Dongfang City, aside from the Young Master and the Mistress, the law enforcement team holds a highly esteemed position. Which was why sometimes she would not even give face to the Young Master.
How many years has it been?
How many years has it been since someone had dared to defy an arrest from the law enforcement team? Even if this woman was with the Young Master, she must die here, today!
Just as she thought of this, Dongfang Yan leaned to one side and avoided the surprise flaming attack.
Just as she was about to make her move, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. The flames which she had managed to successfully avoid unfortunately fell onto the person's white robes, burning them.
Dongfang Yan stared blankly while Lin Shao was beyond shocked. Even Gu Ruoyun could not help but blink and stared in astonishment at the old man who had appeared without warning...
"Who, who is responsible for burning the Master of this house?"
A furious roar rang aloud from the blazing flames as a gray-haired and haggard-looking old man, who looked like he had just been struck by lightning, staggered out to the front of the group.
At this moment, the old man's eyes were burning with the flames of fury as he gritted his teeth and glared at everyone present.
"Can anyone explain who was responsible for lighting that fire?"
The flabbergasted Dongfang Yan immediately regained her senses upon hearing that voice and hurriedly explained, "Reporting to the Master of the house, it was that woman who lit the flames."
Damned girl, she thought, were you not acting haughty just a moment ago? This time, you've brought a calamity bigger than the sky upon yourself. Even if the Young Master were to shield you, the Master will not possibly let you off!
"Is she speaking the truth?"
Master Dongfang suppressed the flaming rage in his heart as his old eyes glared fiercely at Gu Ruoyun.
Poor him! He had maintained his white hairs and long beard for so many years only to have it all be burned off in a second. And these robes, he thought, these had been sewn by Yu'er when she was still living at home, he has always treasured it. This was just great, it's all gone now!
Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose, "The person I had been aiming for was Dongfang Yan. Perhaps you had been too harsh on her, for she seems to harbor a bone-deep hatred of you. Coincidentally, you happened to arrive, so she dodged my flames on purpose to get a bit of revenge."
"You're talking rubbish!"
Dongfang Yan was so angry that she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen anyone who was so shameless to this degree, she thought. She actually shifted the blame onto me! However, based on the Master's wisdom, he would never believe in substandard lies like hers.
