Chapter 271:- Being Selfish
"Mu Wushuang!" Mu Wuchen gnashed his teeth, and his eyes were emitting raging flames of anger. "You actually dare to ask what the Mu Family gave you? Don't tell me that so many years of luxurious living were all fake? Without the Mu Family, do you think you would have the achievements you have today? Within the entire Mu Family, Grandfather doted on you the most, but who would have thought that it is also you who is the cruelest and most unscrupulous!"
Hearing the voice of her own elder brother, the mocking on her lips was even more evident.
"But, the Mu Family did not make me into someone above others, and I am still being bullied by Yun Luofeng! If the Mu Family is that powerful, how could Yun Luofeng that slut dare to bully me? I do not blame myself for leaving Mu Family as I only blame that you do not have enough strength to make me want to stay."
If it was said that Mu Wushuang still felt guilty for her initial decision, then right now the actions of these family members had caused the guilt in her heart to disappear completely without a trace.
However, at the time when Mu Wushuang was fighting with Mu Wuchen, they did not notice Mu Shen's silhouette flashing past from a distance away.
"Brother, you're too selfish!" Mu Wushuang glanced at Mu Wuchen who was angered to the point of being unable to say anything else, with disappointment in her eyes, "If you all truly loved me, you should have never stopped me. Instead, you would rather the Mu Family meet its destruction than troubling me! However, you've insulted me using righteous words! Your actions will only make me loathe the Mu Family more!"
"Mu Wushuang!!!"
"Brother, I do not think I'm in the wrong. Every miller draws water to their own mill! In this world, I believe anyone who is looking from my perspective would make the same choices I did, without any exception! Even though that slut Yun Luofeng acts as if she values feelings and relationships, I believe she would never abandon the chance if she had the opportunity to reach heaven in a single bound!"
In Mu Wushuang's mind, all humans were selfish creatures without any exceptions. Therefore, she didn't think her actions were wrong! So what if the Mu Family had raised her up? That was done by them willingly and couldn't be used to restrict her actions!
"Miss Tian Ke," Mu Wushuang turned towards Tian Ke, "we can set off."
Tian Ke coldly nodded her head and a trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes...
To delusionally think of being above others based on her personality? She was simply dreaming! After reaching the Tian Family, she would then know how big of a mistake she made by abandoning her own Grandfather and brother.
Unfortunately, she no longer had the opportunity to make a choice.
"Mu Wushuang, hold it!" Mu Wuchen anxiously grabbed onto Mu Wushuang's arms. "Are you truly that heartless, without any regards for the Mu Family? Right now there's not only the Steel and Raging Flame Corps, but also Yun Luofeng who is covetously eyeing us! With you leaving, the Mu Family will definitely meet its destruction. How can your conscience be at ease?"
Mu Wushuang stopped.
As she had her back facing Mu Wuchen, he was unable to see her expression.
However, seeing Mu Wushuang stop, he assumed there was a chance for her to return, and his expression couldn't help but become gentler.
"Wushuang, that year when you were bullied outside, it was me who brought a group of people to beat up those bastards who bullied you. You admired the Crown Prince, so I prevented another woman from pursuing him and I have also helped you settle those who managed to attract him. Not only that, when we went out to experience life when we were young, I took a blow for you when you were attacked by spirit beasts, so you managed to stay alive. Don't tell me you've forgotten all these things?"

Chapter 272:- A Stunning Entrance
The past experiences were like running water, rushing forth into Mu Wushuang's mind.
However, these experiences did not even arouse any guilt within her and had instead caused her internal hatred to increase. She raised her hand and ruthlessly slapped away Mu Wuchen's hands that were tightly holding onto her arm and turned to face him.
"Mu Wuchen, even if you were buried under that spirit beast's claws that year, you had brought it upon yourself! I did not ask for you to save me, but you felt guilty and that's why you did it! Let me tell you, anyone who obstructs me from my future prospects will be my enemy! I will definitely not be lenient towards my enemies!"
Her words implied that if Mu Wuchen continued to obstruct her way, then she would not be courteous towards him!
Mu Xingchou had already recovered from his initial rage. The moment he slightly shut his eyes, his entire being seemed extremely aged. "Wuchen, let her leave!"
"Grandfather!" Mu Wuchen cried out involuntarily.
"Let her get lost!" Mu Xingchou opened his eyes as his gaze stared deeply towards Mu Wushuang. "However, I hope you do not regret your actions today!"
"Regret?" Mu Wushuang sneered and raised the corner of her lips in ridicule, "I left the Mu Family to obtain a more powerful strength. What do I have to regret? Grandfather, it is you who caused my decision today! If it weren't for your strength being inferior to Yun Luo, I would never leave the Mu Family! This is all your fault because you're too worthless!"
Mu Wushuang had practically shouted out the last sentence, her eyes filled with rage, "I want to enter the Tian Family! I want to be more powerful! I want Yun Luofeng that slut to kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"
Mu Xingchou seemed to see the real Mu Wushuang for the first time as he stared without blinking at her eyes that were filled with hatred. So it turns out that the years he had pampered her couldn't be compared to her pursuit of power! Why should he try to retain such a granddaughter?
"Grandfather, when I leave I will bring Gao Ling along with me. Furthermore, I will use the Tian Family's authority to order Yun Luofeng to become Gao Ling's concubine very soon. At that time, I can torture her however I wish. Can the Mu Family achieve this?"
Her hatred for Yun Luofeng had caused Mu Wushuang's expression to turn unsightly, while she spoke malevolently.
"Since you're unable to achieve that, you don't have the qualifications to hold me back!" Mu Wushuang ruthlessly flung her clothes and turned while walking towards Tian Ke's side. "Miss Tian Ke, I have settled my affairs. From today onward, I am someone from the Tian Family, and I am willing to work extremely hard for them! Whereas for this Prime Minister Mu's Estate, its survival is not related to me!"
Just when Mu Wushuang's words were spoken, a devilish yet languid voice was suddenly heard from outside the courtyard, carrying a trace of mirth. "Leave? May I know where exactly you are rushing off to?"
For Mu Wushuang, this voice was extremely familiar! Instantly, the hatred in her eyes increased as she coldly stared outside of the courtyard.
Da Da Da!
First was a wave of orderly yet powerful footsteps that could be heard from outside the gate. Rows of trained military personnel entered the gate and instantly encircled the entire courtyard.
After that...
Several women lifting a wide palanquin walked into the courtyard.
On this luxurious and spacious palanquin, the young lady's entire body was lying flat on that unfeeling man's thighs. Her right hand was supporting the back of her head, and her snow-white robe was flowing with the breeze, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her looks were incomparably breathtaking, with a slightly curved lip revealing that devilish smile of hers, and an indolent smiling intent that filled her pitch-black eyes.
Even the people from the Mu Family couldn't help but be stunned looking at the current Yun Luofeng.
The handsome man and beautiful woman seated within the palanquin looked so well matched together that it was like a perfect scene in a mural.
The man seemed to be discontented with the people looking towards the young lady as his callous eyes surveyed his surroundings. His expression was cold as if it was a long, sharp sword. The people who were within his reach had looked away as they felt a chill coming from the bottom of their feet up into their heart.

Chapter 273:- Formidable Steel and Raging Flame Corps
"It's you!"
Mu Xingchou saw Zhong Ling'er who was standing beside the palanquin with a glance. His eyes were filled with flames of fury, and he wished that he could rush over and ruthlessly beat her up. Ultimately, he managed to restrain himself.
Unwavering eyes filled with rage stared at Yun Luofeng, the hatred evident on his aged face. "Yun Luofeng! The Yun family! I was already suspicious before. There weren't that many people that our Mu family had offended, so why was there someone who was acting against us? I didn't think that the one who schemed against us behind the scenes would actually be you!"
It was such a joke that everyone had been tricked by her, and hadn't realized that this young lady had managed to secretly develop such a formidable strength!
Yun Luofeng's posture was languid yet satisfied. Her hands leaned on the palanquin's support as she slightly raised her eyes to glance at Mu Xingchou. "I have to thank Gao Ling for this. If he hadn't taken the trouble to find me this crowd of people, my power wouldn't have increased so quickly."
Mu Xingchou's expression suddenly became increasingly unsightly. "The people the Crown Prince found for you were all people with low aptitude. It's impossible for them to be this group of people! Yun Luofeng, your actions of armed rebellion will undoubtedly cause your nine generations to be executed!"
"Execution of my nine generations?" Yun Luofeng lightly chuckled, "I'm unsure what qualifications you have to execute my family members. Not to mention that these people were personally given to me by the Crown Prince, so what if I had secretly recruited men? If I truly wanted to seize the throne, the title of the Emperor wouldn't still belong to him."
Mu Xingchou was stunned. He couldn't believe that this young lady was so arrogant that she would say such rebellious words in a public place with numerous people. Even if she had the General's Estate as her backing, it couldn't compare to the Imperial Family.
Don't forget that there was still a high-level advanced-rank cultivator within the Imperial Family, while the strongest person the Yun family had was Yun Luo. No matter how strong Yun Luo was, his current strength was only in the high-level low-rank.
Yun Luo simply couldn't compare with the number one person within the Imperial Family.
"Yun Luofeng."
After knowing the master behind the scene of Steel and Raging Flame Corps was Yun Luofeng, Mu Xingchou's heart calmed down and he spoke sneeringly, "Within this half a year, you've indeed caused others to sit up and take notice of you. Unfortunately, regardless of how powerful the forces are that you have in your hands, you are still a waste! Today, since you dared to intrude in my Estate, I will definitely make sure you never leave!"
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows and questioned with a smile that wasn't really a smile, "You think you have the qualification to say such words?"
After the young lady's words had been spoken, everyone within the Steel Corps and Raging Flame Corps no longer hid their aura, but instead released their might, encasing the entire Estate.
After Mu Xingchou, who was originally confident in himself sensed the aura of these people, his aged expression instantly became deathly pale. Both his eyes were wide open in shock, and even his body shook violently.
"Ten high-level low-rank and the others are all middle-level high-rank, this... is impossible!"
Within the entire Long Yuan Kingdom, there were only two high-level cultivators! Even Yun Qingya who was once known as the genius was only a middle-level high-rank cultivator! He didn't expect for ten high-level cultivators to appear all of a sudden.
However, Yun Qingya was only twelve years old that year, and he had only trained for two years. He was indeed a genius to have broken through to be a middle-level high-rank cultivator in two year's time without any external aid.
After all, the General's Estate within the Longyuan Kingdom was not a force like the Spirit Sect. For a power as strong as the Spirit Sect, the disciples within would begin testing for their aptitude when they were six, before choosing a suitable cultivation method. Since Yun Qingya was born in the secular world, he only attempted the test for his talents when he was ten years old!

Chapter 274:- Intimidation
Comparatively speaking, these people from the Steel Corps and Raging Flame Corps were luckier.
Not only did they have Marrow-cleansing Medicinal Liquid to change their innate talent, they even had access to Spirit-gathering Medicinal Liquid to increase their strength. With those resources, these people were able to grow to such a realm in a short half-year's time.
Of course, the ranks before a high-level spirit cultivator were relatively more common and so easier to break through. However, after reaching the realm of a high-level spirit cultivator, the cultivation would become extremely difficult, with every step similar to climbing a mountain.
"Fool!"
Tian Ke coldly swept a glance towards Mu Xingchou, with disdain flashing through her eyes.
The moment when the Steel Corps and Raging Flame Corps appeared, she had already sensed the might of these people. Who would have thought that Mu Xingchou was so fearless to show off his ability here!
However...
Tian Ke slightly narrowed her eyes and glanced towards that pair of a handsome man and woman, and took a short sharp breath.
These two people gave her the feeling of being extremely dangerous!
That unfeeling man had caused her to be restrained with fear, whereas for that gorgeous white-robed young lady... she felt dangerous in terms of her aura! It was as if she would fall into a trap the young lady arranged if she was careless, to the extent of having no hope of escape!
"Excuse me, I hope that you will make things easy for us. I must take Mu Wushuang away, whereas you can take care of the others however you like." Tian Ke cupped her fist and spoke.
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows lightly. "I still have some debts to settle with Mu Wushuang, so she has to stay."
"Miss Yun," Tian Ke's expression turned slightly colder and her tone became unfriendly, "You better think this through; being enemies with the Tian Family isn't worthwhile! I've heard that you're a physician. If you allow me to bring Mu Wushuang away, you can ask me for advice at the Tian Family in the future if you encounter any questions. I will definitely answer your queries."
"Miss Tian Ke," Mu Wushuang said somewhat anxiously, "Yun Luofeng isn't someone worthy, so how can you direct her to the Tian family and look for you? You..."
"You better shut up!" Tian Ke coldly threw Mu Wushuang a glance. "Do I have to get your permission on how I handle affairs? What do you think you are? Without me, you're nothing!"
Mu Wushuang shut her mouth but her beautiful eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger, as her unwavering gaze stared at Yun Luofeng.
Why did Tian Ke adopt an overbearing attitude towards her, but change her appearance in the face of Yun Luofeng?
No!
She was unwilling! She was indignant to have lost to Yun Luofeng in every aspect!
Mu Wuchen who saw Mu Wushuang chided by Tian Ke, couldn't help but chuckle sneeringly, "Mu Wushuang, only Grandfather and me truly cared for you in the past. You think that you've managed to hang on a higher power's thigh, but in other people's heart, you're nothing!"
"Keke," Mu Wushuang coldly laughed, "even if I am a dog within the Tian family, it's still better than being the Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate!"
Even if her identity was a dog, she had the opportunity to use her position to bully others!
Furthermore, with Tian Ke and Tian Yu's protection, Yun Luofeng couldn't kill her even if she wanted to!
Thinking this, Mu Wushuang no longer spoke as she silently stayed beside Tian Ke. However, the gaze she directed at Yun Luofeng still contained hatred! That look of hers was as if she wished she could dismember the other's body into a thousand pieces!
"You can leave," A pair of devilish black pair of eyes swept past Tian Ke, and Yun Luofeng raised the corner of her lips, "however, Mu Wushuang must stay!"
Regardless, she persisted on what she said earlier on, that Mu Wushuang absolutely must stay here!
Tian Ke's facial expression suddenly changed. "What if I were to take her away forcefully?"
.
.
.
Chapter 275:- Despairing Mu Wushuang
"My apologies, then both of you will have to stay!"
The young lady's voice was arrogant with confidence, causing Tian Ke to reflexively clench her fist. Her aura emerged prominently all around her body, but just when she was about to take action, Tian Yu who was silent from the start reached out to stop her.
"Miss Yun," Tian Yu turned and looked at Yun Luofeng with a grave and stern expression, "the Tian family did not know you had a grudge against Mu Wushuang, and so we had wanted to bring her away. Since she has animosity with you, then we shall leave her for you today in return for a favor."
"Tian Yu?"
Tian Ke was stunned momentarily as she looked towards Tian Yu in confusion. A trace of anxiety was revealed in her eyes. "But, my drug tester..."
"Tian Ke," Tian Yu frowned, furrowed his brows, and spoke in a volume that only they could hear, "Mu Wushuang's physique is indeed unique, but she's not the only one in this world that is suited to become a high-grade drug tester. It's not worth it to offend these two because of her."
Only an outstanding talent could recognize current trends! So what if the Tian Family had Tian Ya whose name shocked the entire mainland? After all, Tian Ya wasn't here, and if they were to meet force with force against these people it would definitely not be good for them!
Therefore, Tian Yu had decisively made this decision.
Above the palanquin, Yun Luofeng stuck both her legs up as her hands lightly tapped on her thigh. "It's a given that Mu Wushuang had to stay, but you actually used this as a pretext to ask me for a favor? My favor's extremely precious, and I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"You..." Tian Ke's icily cold pair of eyes gradually contained anger. "You better not go too far! Tian Yu is our Tian family's..."
"Tian Ke!" Tian Yu coldly swept a glance at Tian Ke and interrupted her words. Then, he turned his gaze towards Yun Luofeng. "Miss Yun, then what do you think would be fitting?"
Yun Luofeng raised her chin lightly as a smile filled with madness hung on her breathtaking appearance. "You have to owe me a favor!"
"Alright." Tian Yu took a deep breath, "I promise you."
"Tian Yu!"
Tian Ke cried out involuntarily. Just when she finished, Tian Yu grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go!"
At this place, he was practically unaware of what was going on! Even though that unfeeling black-robed man had maintained his silence since his appearance, his incomparably sharp glance was directed at him all along. If he continued to stay for even a moment more, he would inevitably be unable to endure that man's gaze and collapse on the floor!
This was also the reason why he had abandoned Mu Wushuang!
Especially just now when he asked for Yun Luofeng to owe them a favor, he felt that even his breathing became sluggish at that moment, as if he would meet his demise here!
This unfeeling man was too terrifying. So frightening that it caused one's heart to tremble.
"No!"
Mu Wushuang did not know what happened, or why both of the Tian family's people wanted to abandon her! Turning pale from fright, she hastily ran towards Tian Ke and raised her hands to grab her sleeve while anxiously saying, "Miss Tian Ke, don't leave, don't leave me here! I will definitely do my utmost to cultivate after entering Tian family, I will absolutely not disappoint you!"
"Cultivate?"
Tian Ke mockingly laughed as she caused Mu Wushuang's body to fall on the ground with a kick, and spoke with a cold face, "You're still thinking of going to the Tian family to cultivate? Dream on! Do you truly think I came here because I had noticed your talents? You still want to become superior to others? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror! To tell you the truth, it's because your physique is suitable to become my drug tester. That is why I had the intention to bring you into the Tian family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the qualifications to enter that sort of place in your lifetime!"
At this very moment, Tian Ke had vented all her anger towards Yun Luofeng on Mu Wushuang!
.

Chapter 276:- Regret (1)
Mu Wushuang's body started to lightly tremble while her beautiful eyes filled with suffering looked at Tian Ke. Her gorgeous face was deathly pale, with despair in her eyes.
"Miss Tian Ke, what did you just say?"
Even till now, she couldn't believe that the Tian family came for her in order to become a drug tester.
"Mu Wushuang, do you still not understand?" Tian Ke raised her ice-cold face filled with arrogance. "I thought I had already said it in an easy to understand manner, I didn't think that you were so stupid as to not understand. Who do you think you are? A person like you who can even abandon your family just for your own selfish gain, how could our Tian family use you? By raising you, it's tantamount to raising a white-eyed wolf!"
Mu Wushuang's body trembled more and more as she struggled to get up off the ground while clenching her fist tightly. "Miss Tian Ke, it was you who said it. If I were to become someone from the Tian family, I shouldn't care about the life and death of others. I only listened to your orders, so what wrong did I do?"
Hearing Mu Wushuang's words that sounded a bit crazy, Tian Ke sneeringly raised the corner of her lips. "That's right, those words were indeed said by me. However, it was your decision to follow them! A person who would even abandon their own family will definitely betray the Tian family. On what basis do you think you're important to us?"
As if five lightning strikes had fallen, Mu Wushuang stumbled a few steps. She had to support herself against a huge tree beside her so that she would not fall on the ground.
What was a drug tester? It was impossible that Mu Wushuang as a physician didn't know!
A drug tester was someone who tested medicine. Some physicians would prepare several drug testers to test medicine for them! In this case, the life and death of a drug tester were dependent on the physician's abilities!
What a joke that the Tian family looked for her to make her into a drug tester, while she had ruthlessly betrayed her family who loved and pampered her in order to enter the Tian family!
"No!"
Mu Wushuang gave a heart-wrenching shout. Her voice was mournful, while two teardrops of despair gradually flowed down from her beautiful eyes.
She wasn't willing!
She was unwilling to be defeated here! She had yet to stand on the pinnacle of the mainland, nor had she achieved being a god physician. How could she be resigned to fall in front of Yun Luofeng?
Tian Yu coldly glanced at Mu Wushuang before looking to speak to Tian Ke beside him.
"Tian Ke, let's go."
Tian Ke lightly nodded her head and followed Tian Yu's footsteps to walk out of the courtyard.
When she walked past Yun Luofeng, she paused for a moment and deliberately lowered her voice to speak. "I don't wish to argue with you because of Tian Yu this time around, but if I encounter you in the future, I will definitely not let you off easy!"
Yun Luofeng lightly raised her eyebrows, as her pitch-black eyes contained a devilish charming smiling intent. "Sure! As long you have the capability!"
Even though she had a smile on her face, her tone was incomparably arrogant, causing Tian Ke's expression to suddenly change. She gripped her sword hilt even tighter, and she had to take a deep breath before she managed to restrain the anger that was about to gush forth.
Alas, Tian Ke walked out of the courtyard in great strides without turning back.
"No!"
Looking at both their disappearing figures, Mu Wushuang finally experienced terror as she quickly threw herself towards them. "Miss Tian Ke, I know my mistakes, please don't go!"
Chuckle!
Before she had the time to rush out, the image of a beautiful woman flashed past and a palm strike fell on Mu Wushuang's chest. Suddenly, her body once again flipped and flew out before fiercely slamming on the ground.
.

Chapter 277:- Regret (2)
Qingyan stood facing Mu Wushung with teasing intent. "Mu Wushuang, remember how you bullied my Miss that year? Now it's time for you to get back what you gave out!"
Bang!
Just when Mu Wushuang wanted to open her mouth to speak, another palm strike landed, instantly causing her body to fling out with fresh blood continuously spurting out from her mouth.
Silence!
The entire Prime Minister Estate was deathly silent!
As Yun Luofeng's personal maidservant, no one was unaware of what sort of capability she had! However, at this moment, this obscure and unknown little maidservant suddenly had a cultivation of high-level low rank? What would be even more shocking than this?
At this very moment, Mu Wushuang no longer had any thoughts left to notice Qingyan's strength. She despairingly gazed at the direction the people from the Tian family had left, while her heart suddenly sank to the lowest point.
An unprecedented panic invaded her heart, and she hastily got up from the ground while dashing towards Mu Xingchou.
"Grandfather, I know my mistakes. Your granddaughter knows her mistakes. Please, I beg you to save me, please go to the Imperial Palace to beg the Empress. As long as the Empress speaks up, the Emperor will definitely save me."
Mu Xingchou closed his eyes and opened them after he had recovered his senses, but they were filled with disappointment. "Wushuang, since now you're regretting it, why did you do it from the start? Previously you first abandoned the Mu family, and now that the Tian family gave up on you, you're begging me to save you? I only want to know, how should I save you?"
Hearing Mu Xingchou's words, Mu Wushuang thought that the other party still remembered their family ties and her eyes instantly brightened. "There's the Spirit Sect supporting the Long Yuan Kingdom behind the scenes. You can head to the Imperial Palace and beg the Empress. The Emperor pampers the Empress the most and he will definitely save me because of the Empress! If the Emperor is willing to save me, he can invite the strong cultivator from the Spirit Sect. That way, Yun Luofeng that slut cannot kill me."
Mu Xingchou was Mu Wushuang's last hope to save her life, so she had firmly grabbed onto him while appealing to him.
"Wushuang, I'm unable to save you."
Mu Xingchou shook his head. "Not to mention me, even the Emperor cannot save you, nor save the Mu family."
"Grandfather!" Mu Wushuang shrieked involuntarily as she spoke angrily, "I'm your granddaughter, how can you not save me? I know you definitely have the means to save me! You cannot see me die without saving me! Otherwise, the soul and spirit of my deceased parents would absolutely never let you off!"
Smack!
Mu Wuchen raised his hands and slapped Mu Wushuang as his expression was grave and stern while speaking. "Mu Wushuang, it was you who betrayed the family first. What right do you have now to blame others for not saving you?"
Not only did this slap not make Mu Wushuang calm down, but instead it caused her to be increasingly frantic. Her entire person had become unsightly.
"The whole Mu family isn't worth anything! Sooner or later, I will let all of you pay the price, Hahaha!" She laughed frantically three times and gradually turned towards Yun Luofeng with hatred in her eyes. "Yun Luofeng, you can't kill me! Otherwise, the Ghost Emperor would never let you off!"
Ghost Emperor?
When Mu Wushuang said this, she completely did not notice that Yun Xiao's expression abruptly turned cold. Waves of killing intent were surging forth from his cold eyes.
"Yun Luofeng, you probably didn't know that right? The reason why Gao Ling was sent to the Bamboo House was that the Ghost Emperor had taken a liking to me. Whereas Gao Ling wanted to fight with him over me, therefore the Ghost Emperor sent people to throw him into the Bamboo House! As such, if you dare to touch even a strand of my hair, the Ghost Emperor will definitely not forgive you if he finds out!"
Mu Wushuang chuckled coldly and her face no longer had fear on it, instead, it had been replaced with a look of being proud of herself.
.

Chapter 278:- The Person the Ghost Emperor Likes is Yun Luofeng
Chuckle!
Just when Mu Wushuang had said these words, a grey-robed figure suddenly fell into the crowd from the ancient tree within the courtyard.
"Er... I'm sorry," Qin Yuan laughed mockingly and got up. "I couldn't bear it and fell down."
As his Master disliked him to appear out in the open, he had hidden in the tree! He didn't think that after suddenly hearing Mu Wushuang's self-opinionated words, he would receive an enormous shock and carelessly fell down.
"Who are you?"
Mu Xingchou's expression changed. He didn't expect there was someone watching from the sidelines in a secret place when the Mu family and Yun family were fighting each other! Even he did not notice that person.
Just how strong was this man?
"You're asking me?" Qin Yuan turned towards Mu Xingchou and laughed. "I'm sure the Crown Prince of the Long Yuan Kingdom knows me. It was me who sent him into the Bamboo House and I also managed to sell him for a great price. Tsk tsk, I have to say that the Crown Prince's figure was extremely good and the customers within the Bamboo House loved it."
Of course, even if this Crown Prince's figure was good, it couldn't be compared to his own Master's physique.
"You are the Ghost Emperor's subordinate?" Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Mu Wushuang was internally delighted. "Are you here to save me?"
Qin Yuan laughed awkwardly, "This... aren't you mistaken about something? My Master isn't acquainted with you, so why would he ask me to save you?"
Not acquainted?
These two words caused Mu Wushuang's expression to change. "If he doesn't like me, why is he a rival with the Crown Prince for my affection?"
Qin Yuan's face still had a smile, yet his eyes revealed a dense ridicule.
"The one my Master likes is the Yun family's Yun Luofeng and he wasn't a rival with Gao Ling for her affection. It's because Gao Ling was extremely irritating and was always pestering my Master's future wife. Therefore, my Master asked me to throw him into the Bamboo House so that they could have silence for a period of time."
Rival for affection?
Gao Ling, that bastard, didn't have the qualifications to compete with his Master for Yun Luofeng's affection! The actions of his Master that day were only that of chasing away a housefly that was pestering his woman, so where did being a rival for affection come about?
Shua!
Mu Wushuang's expression instantly became incomparably pale as she once again retreated a few steps. With a bang sound, her butt fell to the ground and her pale expression was similar to a dead person's gray face.
The person the Ghost Emperor likes is Yun Luofeng?
Why? Why was Yun Luofeng's luck always so good? Even the Ghost Emperor loved her deeply? What was even funnier was that she thought the Ghost Emperor had fallen for her!
Suddenly, Mu Wushuang seemed to have recalled something as her hoarse voice contained a trace of madness, "Hahaha! The person the Ghost Emperor likes is actually Yun Luofeng! It's sure unfortunate, Yun Luofeng that slut had improper relations with her bodyguard and has lost her innocence. I can't see how the Ghost Emperor would continue to like her!"
Hearing Mu Wushuang's mad words, Qin Yuan prudently shot a glance towards the cold and unfeeling man seated on the palanquin and his whole body was covered with cold sweat.
He knew that he did not deal with the matter well initially, causing Mu Wushuang to be mistaken that his Master liked her, and this matter would definitely cause his Master to be extremely discontented! But how could he have known that this woman would be narcissistic to this extent?
As if feeling the killing intent on that man's body increasing, Qin Yuan was terrified and his head shrank down on his shoulders. Afraid that he would be tied to her fate, he instantly turned to look at Mu Wushuang who was laughing frantically and spoke in a sarcastic manner, "My apologies, the bodyguard you mentioned that had improper relations with Miss Yun — is my Master."

Chapter 279:- Destruction of Mu Family (1)
He had deliberately lowered his volume when he spoke that sentence because he knew that his Master did not wish to reveal his identity. Otherwise, with the selfish personality of those people from the Xiao family, they would definitely not let go of the opportunity to pester his Master.
However, even if his voice was suppressed and he spoke extremely softly, Yun Luofeng could still clearly hear him with her capabilities.
She lightly raised her eyebrows and looked towards the ice-cold handsome man. Her narrowed black eyes contained a dangerous glint. "Yun Xiao, explain to me when we get back what exactly this is about."
Yun Xiao was startled but managed to nod his head. "Alright."
....
Currently, within the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Estate, Mu Wushuang's entire being was foolishly seated like a sculpture as her lifeless gaze was staring at Qin Yuan who stood in front of her. Seemingly, she hadn't recovered her senses from his words.
"Impossible, he's only a bodyguard! How could he be..."
Her voice was trembling, and even her chest throbbed violently. There was no color on her ashen face, and before she finished her words, she had been interrupted by Qin Yuan's mocking voice.
"Who asked my Master's woman to be so outstanding that my Master would willingly accompany her? Of course, you couldn't beat her on this point even if you wasted your entire lifetime."
Qin Yuan's words were like a sharp knife that ruthlessly stabbed Mu Wushuang's heart, causing her eyes that were originally filled with despair to be filled with hatred, and her gaze was full of unwillingness and anger.
From the start, she thought that the Ghost Emperor was an ugly man. That was why he had used a mask when revealing himself to the masses. It did not occur to her that the Ghost Emperor looked cool and extremely handsome. He was so perfect that it caused one's heart to beat faster! The rest of the men in the world couldn't compare to him! More importantly, he was infatuated with Yun Luofeng!
But why was such an outstanding man only interested in Yun Luofeng? In what aspect was she lacking compared to her? Especially as this Ghost Emperor was actually perfectly willing to stay by a woman's side as a bodyguard.
All of a sudden...
Mu Wushuang recalled her initial insult towards Yun Xiao.
At that time she humiliated him saying that a small bodyguard did not even have the qualifications to look at her!
But she would have never have thought that a small bodyguard like him was an existence of such a grand reputation!
Once she thought of this, Mu Wushuang wanted to give herself a tight slap! If only she had not humiliated Yun Xiao previously, perhaps the Ghost Emperor would have some tender, protective feelings for her, and she would not be in such circumstances?
Clearly, Mu Wushuang had truly thought too much of herself. Even if she did not say those words previously, she was still an existence that must die in Yun Xiao's heart! Who had asked her to offend Yun Luofeng?
Everyone that offended Yun Luofeng must die!
"Mu Wushuang," Qin Yuan raised the corner of his lips as his eyes were filled with teasing, "you and Gao Ling are sure a perfect match. Both of you are brain-dead! Truly a match made in heaven! Only Gao Ling would have fallen for such a woman like you. But it's pretty good, at least he allowed my Master to pick up a treasure."
As if he was afraid that Mu Wushuang wasn't angry enough, Qin Yuan continued to stab her with his words.
His contemptuous voice was like a sharp thorn, stabbing her whole heart to have a thousand holes and be drenched with blood.
After that...
Mu Wushuang whose whole heart was filled with anger had an unsightly face. She then pounced toward the palanquin with a sinister expression. "Yun Luofeng, you slut, I'm going to kill you! It's all because of you, if it weren't for you, I would have never fallen into such a situation! It's all your fault!"

Chapter 280:- Destruction of Mu Family (2)
A chuckle was heard.
Before Mu Wushuang had the chance to reach Yun Luofeng, a sharp sword had suddenly pierced her chest. The fresh blood instantly blossomed like a rose and dyed her clothes.
Qingyan coldly retracted the longsword and a sneering expression was evident on her delicate face. "Mu Wushuang, have you forgotten how you treated our Miss in the past? You're only suffering the retribution you deserve."
The servant girl's words caused Mu Wushuang's entire body to stiffen and trembled for a moment. The moment she raised her head, her beautiful eyes looked at the young lady lying on the palanquin and unwillingness appeared on her deathly pale face.
No!
She couldn't die here, especially falling in front of Yun Luofeng.
"Grandfather..." she turned her head with great difficulty and looked at Mu Xingchou with an appealing gaze, "save me."
Mu Xingchou couldn't bear it and spoke up. "Yun Luofeng, this time, the Yun Family has won, and you've won beautifully! All these years the Yun family has been my old enemy and I've always been opposing you. Now, I'm tired of this."
"Old enemy?"
Yun Luofeng raised the corner of her lips. "My apologies, your Mu family is only my stepping stone, you don't qualify to be my old enemy."
If it was in the past, Mu Xingchou would definitely have a quarrel with her after hearing her arrogant words. However, at this moment, his heart had already sunk to the lowest point. He then took and deep breath and spoke. "Yun Luofeng, I can commit suicide before you right now, but I beg you to leave Mu Wushuang a whole corpse."
Qingyan's previous strike had deliberately missed Mu Wushuang's vital points and one didn't even have to think of why she had done so. It must be to leave her alive and to continue to torture her.
He couldn't bear to see the granddaughter he pampered the most in the past being tortured, even if Mu Wushuang had betrayed the Mu family at the end!
"You're talking conditions with me?" The smile on Yun Luofeng contained a devilish intent and her pitch-black eyes landed on Mu Xingchou's deathly pale face. "Do you think you have the qualifications?"
Mu Xingchou laughed bitterly, "Yun Luofeng, take it as I'm begging you, please leave a complete corpse for my granddaughter. Allow her a death without any pain and suffering."
He did not pray for Yun Luofeng to let off Mu Wushuang, because that was basically impossible! He only begged her to leave Mu Wushuang a complete corpse! This was the last thing he could do for her as her grandfather.
"Grandfather!" Mu Wushuang's voice was full of weakness, with deep despair clouding her beautiful eyes. "I don't want to die, Grandfather, I really don't want to die. Please save me, save me from here..."
Mu Xingchou's expression was filled with pain. Alas, he eventually ignored Mu Wushuang's pleading voice as his eyes quietly gazed at Yun Luofeng. "Yun Luofeng, if you promise me, I will commit suicide immediately."
Yun Luofeng's black shot a wicked glance at Mu Xingchou as she spoke while the corner of her lips curved up. "Mu Xingchou, do you remember the words you said to me before?"
Mu Xingchou's body stiffened as his aged face became increasingly pale.
"Previously you told my grandfather that the Mu family had the Noble Consort Mu. Afterward, there would be Mu Wushuang as the future Princess Consort. Therefore, it was destined for the Mu family to step on the Yun Family's head forever! While the Yun family did not have any outstanding daughters that could curry favor with the Imperial Family! You were indeed correct on this. The people of the Yun Family indeed wouldn't fawn over the Imperial Family as I will only use my own strength to determine my own destiny!"
.
.
.
Chapter 281:- Destruction of Mu Family (3)
Mu Xingchou slightly shut his eyes, and as he recalled the ridiculing words he had told Yun Luofeng, he felt that it was such a joke on his part.
That's right! The Mu Family indeed had two outstanding women that could be sent into the Imperial Family. Especially Mu Wushuang, she was the future Empress, the mother of the land under heaven! The Yun Family had nothing, and even Yun Luofeng's engagement with the Crown Prince had been retracted.
However, what use was it even if women of the Mu Family were outstanding? Didn't they still have to cling to the Imperial Family in order to survive?
While the Yun Family was unknowingly capable of putting the Imperial Family beneath their feet!
"Yun Luofeng, do you truly not cherish old friendships?" Mu Xingchou opened his eyes and spoke overbearingly. "In any case, both I and your Grandfather are officials. Why are you being excessively ruthless?"
"Old friendships?
Yun Luofeng started laughing. Her laughter was filled with sarcasm. "When did the old friendship of us with the Mu Family come about? At that time when you revealed military intelligence and caused my parent's death, you should've expected such retribution to follow!"
The heavens are watching whatever we do. For the Mu Family to have this outcome was the retribution that they should bear!
"Keke." Mu Xingchou laughed grimly, as his eyes glanced towards Mu Wushuang beside him. He then released a sigh before speaking. "Wushuang, I've indulged you too much over the years, thus causing you to commit so many wrongdoings, and to even betray the family! But regardless of how many wrong things you've done, you are still the bloodline of our Mu family. I had originally wanted to let you die without any pain, but now it seems like even that will be impossible."
After saying this, Mu Xingchou turned towards Mu Wuchen. "If you don't want to suffer too much pain, follow me and commit suicide."
When his words finished, Mu Xingchou did not hesitate to pull out his long sword and thrust it into his heart.
Splurt!
Fresh blood splatted out and stained the entire ground. Mu Xingchou's body trembled slightly before gradually falling to the ground.
"Grandfather!" The rims of Mu Wuchen's eyes instantly turned red and he stared at Yun Luofeng fiercely. "Yun Luofeng, compared to the Mu family, you aren't any better. You will surely meet your own retribution having killed so many people. When you die, you will definitely enter the 18th layer of Hell!"
Retribution?
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows and the words she spoke were unruly and domineering, as her eyes were filled with madness that did not place the masses in her eyes. "If I do not enter hell then who should? When I reach there, I will kill the Mu family members once again!
"Hmph!" Mu Wuchen coldly snorted. "We'll see who kills who at that time! Yun Luofeng, I will be waiting for you in Hell!"
Bang!
Mu Wuchen raised his palms and slapped on his skull. Momentarily, his skull was smashed into pieces by the palm strike, while brains mixed together with blood gradually flowed from the top of his head.
Strictly speaking, Mu Wuchen only had a haughty personality. While the words he said were a little malicious, he did not participate in any of the matters that Mu Wushuang and Mu Xingchou had schemed up! At most he had only helped Mu Wushuang deal with a few women who had clung to the Crown Prince.
However, Yun Luofeng did not have any intention to let him off!
It was a must to remove the roots! If she were to let Mu Wuchen live, he would definitely do something that would hurt the General's Estate with his hatred toward her! It was impossible for her to stay within the General's Estate forever.
For her loved ones, she would not regret it even if she were to be spit on and cursed by everyone!
Yun Luofeng swept a glance at the two dead bodies that fell on the ground and turned her gaze to Mu Wushuang. "I'll give you a chance. You can choose to commit suicide like them, or... let me dispose of you. Of course, if you chose the latter and want to commit suicide in the future, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity anymore."
.

Chapter 282:- Abdication of the Emperor (1)
Mu Wushuang's body trembled as she looked at Mu Xingchou and Mu Wuchen who had fallen on the ground and her eyes revealed traces of panic. "No, I don't want to die! I want to continue living!"
Even ants knew how to drag on their lives, let alone Mu Wushuang who was afraid of death. Therefore, it was impossible for such a person to commit suicide!
"I've already given you a chance," Yun Luofeng paused for a moment before she continued speaking, "therefore, you can't commit suicide in the future even if you want to. Mu Shen, she shall be handed over to you. I believe you won't disappoint me."
Mu Shen?
Hearing his name, a touch of surprise appeared within her gaze as she looked up at the young man walking towards her.
That young man's expression was very calm, without the distinctive qualities of a dandy man. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked towards Mu Wushuang who had a foolish expression on her face, and said in a sneering manner, "Mu Wushuang, I'm sure you didn't expect this, for you to have a day like this. Hahaha."
Mu Wushuang, who was above others and didn't take anyone seriously, could only let go of her attitude and beg for forgiveness here in a petty and lowly manner.
Speaking of it, it sure was a joke.
"Mu Shen!" Mu Wushuang was shocked as she stared blankly at the young man appearing before her. "Why is it you? Were you the one who brought Yun Luofeng here?"
Mu Shen raised the corner of his lips and laughed sneeringly, "That's right."
These two words had thoroughly caused Mu Wushuang to sink into madness. Her face turned unsightly as she shouted in hatred, "Mu Shen, a traitor like you who betrayed the Mu Family will definitely not have a peaceful death!"
If it weren't for Yun Luofeng suddenly appearing here, perhaps she might have left together with the people from the Tian family. Even if she were to enter into the Tian family as a drug tester, it was much better than falling into Yun Luofeng's hands.
After all as a drug tester, as long as she had the opportunity, she could put Tian Ke beneath her feet and replace her!
However right now, all her great ambitions were shattered, all because of Mu Shen the traitor!
"Traitor?" Mu Shen sneeringly laughed, "I'm indeed a traitor within the Mu Family, but you aren't any better! Grandfather pampered you so much and gave you all the good things since you were young. In spite of that, you did not care about his life or death! Don't tell me you aren't a traitor?"
Every word of that young man had hit her where it hurt, causing Mu Wushuang's heart to violently tremble.
She suddenly plopped and knelt before Mu Shen and both her hands tightly grabbed onto his thigh while she implored him "Mu Shen, I beg you to let me off, looking at the fact that we are relatives. If you let me off this time, I will definitely work extremely hard to pay you back in the future."
Mu Shen slightly closed his eyes and at the time when he opened his eyes, the hatred within his eyes turned into sarcasm. "Mu Wushuang, you caused the death of my sister, and just that is sufficient for me to take revenge against you!
Hearing this, Mu Wushuang's hands gradually loosened as her body fell weakly to the ground. Her deathly pale face was filled with despair.
She knew that she had met her end this time around!
"Master," Mu Shen glanced at Mu Wushuang before turning to walk towards Yun Luofeng as he cupped his fist respectfully. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity to take revenge against my enemy. In the future, this life of mine will belong to you, and only you can take away my life!"
His addressing of Yun Luofeng was no longer Divine Physician nor Miss Yun but was instead directly addressing her as Master. The meaning of his words was very clear.
.

Chapter 283:- Abdication of the Emperor (2)
Facing a wholehearted Mu Shen, Yun Luofeng lightly nodded her head. "Mu Shen, I will not care about the matters of Mu Wushuang in the future. It's your problem how you want to punish her. With your hatred towards her, you will certainly settle this better than me."
Yun Luofeng's words weren't wrong. With Mu Wushuang falling in his hands, she could only suffer all kinds of torment and then die! Even committing suicide was an extravagant action for her...
While the period of being alive would become Mu Wushuang's eternal nightmare!
"The matters of the Mu Family have been settled. Now we'll enter the palace!"
Yun Luofeng slightly lowered her eyes and the corner of her lips curved in a devilish manner. "It's time for that dog Emperor to step down."
...
~ Imperial Palace's courtyard ~
Within the study room in a serious atmosphere, Gao Tu was currently discussing matters with Gao Ling while Noble Consort Mu was looking at Gao Tu at one side with a tender gaze. She had even taken over the work of a palace maid to fill a cup of tea for Gao Tu from time to time.
Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the study, and that eunuch did not wait to be announced but had rushed into the room in a staggering manner.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
Gao Tu's expression instantly turned solemn. "Eunuch Lu, for you to be so rude and impetuous, where's your decorum?"
"Your Majesty, something big happened!" Eunuch Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke anxiously. "Yun Luofeng from the Yun Family has brought men to force Your Majesty to abdicate!"
"What?"
Bang !
Gao Tu's palm struck on the table as he suddenly stood up from the dragon chair while speaking with an ashen-colored expression. "Yun Luofeng? She sure has the audacity to try and force my abdication. Could it be that she wants me to step down so she can be the Emperor? What a joke, this Long Yuan Kingdom of mine isn't for her to take charge of!"
"Your Majesty."
Noble Consort Mu stood up hastily and lightly caressed Gao Tu's chest, while her face was filled with gentleness. "Please calm down. Even though this Consort knows that the Yun Family does not know what's good for them, I never expected Yun Luofeng to have such a huge ambition. You can rest assured that since ancient times, the evil can never suppress the good. Just based on the power that Yun Luofeng has, she doesn't have the capability to compete with the millions of soldiers of the Imperial Family!"
Hearing Noble Consort Mu's words, Gao Tu's facial expression turned somewhat better. He fiercely flung the sleeves of his robes and walked out of the study with an ashen face.
From the beginning, Gao Ling was frowning as he felt that something seemed to be fishy, but he could not pinpoint a specific problem. Therefore, he no longer continued to think about it and followed behind Gao Tu's back and walked out.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The moment they stepped out of the study, a group of people instantly appeared from the front and encircled the entire compound.
As for the guards within the palace, they fell on the ground one by one while incessantly howling in pain and covering their stomach.
"Yun Luofeng, you are sure fearless!" Gao Tu's expression was ashen as his stern gaze stared directly at the young lady who was lying within the palanquin in a slothful manner, while he sternly berated her. "Who gave you such courage, for you to force my abdication?"
Within the palanquin, Yun Xiao's grim eyes swept a glance at Gao Tu, as he took a grape from the fruit plate while delivering it into Yun Luofeng's mouth.
Yun Luofeng lightly sucked on Yun Xiao's fingers as her tongue licked his fingertips. Her eyes were full of smiling intent as she devilishly shot a glance at Gao Tu. "It's my nature to be courageous, therefore, I don't need others to give me any."
"You..." Gao Tu pointed angrily at Yun Luofeng. "Esteemed me has never thought that the Yun Family had such huge ambition. Speak up, is it Yun Luo who wants to be the Emperor or you?"
Yun Luofeng released sounds of laughter. "My apologies, I'm not interested in your title of Emperor."
.

Chapter 284:- Abdication of the Emperor (3)
Gao Tu's eyes suddenly narrowed. "Since you're not interested in the throne, then why are you here?"
Having heard what he said, both Yun Luofeng's arms lazily rested on the palanquin and she spoke, "Purely because... you're not pleasing to the eye! That's all!"
I just do not like looking at you, and I want you to abdicate. What can you do to me?
Gao Tu was nearly angered to the point of madness. He had always thought that he was extremely unbridled, but only after being compared with this young lady before him did he understand what was truly unruly and arrogant!
Such madness and arrogance that doesn't consider what the masses think, who other than this young lady could have done it so proper and expect it as a matter of course?
"Yun Luofeng, you're simply presumptuous." Gao Tu shouted sternly as he commanded his troops, "Men, take her down!"
However, no one came forth even after he gave his command. Within the entire palace, only the wailing voices of those Imperial Guards could be heard.
"Men!" Gao Tu's expression changed once again as he continued shouting, "Where have all of you gone to? Why aren't you taking them down?!"
The autumn wind blew and the fallen leaves flew.
A maple leaf fell before Gao Tu, making him seem so lonely and pitiful.
"Even if you shouted until your voice broke, no one will come to save you."
The young lady's voice contained viciousness. If someone was unaware of the circumstances, they would have the impression that she was about to do immoral things to Gao Tu.
"Yun Luofeng!" Gao Tu gnashed his teeth in hatred, but his heart had fiercely clutched. "What have you done?"
He did not know what happened.
Even if numerous Imperial Guards had fallen on the floor, there were not only just these guards within the palace. Yet, why have the others disappeared?
"All the guards within the Imperial Palace have been disabled by my men," Yun Luofeng devilishly raised the corner of her lips, "so, no one will be coming to save you!"
At this moment, Gao Tu's facial color turned thoroughly pale. His footsteps staggered and luckily, Noble Consort Mu supported him from behind so that he did not fall down.
"Gao Ling," Yun Luofeng's line of sight turned towards Gao Ling, "Do you still remember these people around me?"
Gao Ling, who did not originally take notice, turned towards the subordinates alongside her after hearing her words.
If these people had appeared before him individually, perhaps he might not have recognized them. However, at this moment, these people were connected with Yun Luofeng and so, Gao Ling had no choice but to enter into a state of pondering.
"These... are the bodyguards and servant maids that I had helped Yun Luo to recruit?" Gao Ling hesitated for a long time before he spoke this sentence.
He still held the idea of it being impossible deep down inside him. After all, no one was more clear about the aptitude of those people he had recruited. So how could they be these trained soldiers before him?
He was absolutely unbelieving of it!
However, Yun Luofeng's answer caused his heart to fall into the ice cellar instantly.
"That's right. I should also thank you. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be possible for the Yun Family to have recruited so many people in such a short time."
Gao Ling's face turned from his initial paleness to be completely drained of color. He tightly gripped onto his trembling hands as his entire body was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
"Impossible. The people who I found for you were trash! They wouldn't be able to have much of an improvement their entire lives, so how could they be these people?" Gao Ling's voice contained madness, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
No one was clearer than him on the abilities of these people! It was obvious that he couldn't believe it.
.
.
.
Chapter 285:- Abdication of the Emperor (4)
"Trash?" Yun Luofeng smiled as her arrogant eyes were filled with confidence. "In my eyes, no one is a trash! There are only people who are willing to work hard and those unwilling to work hard. As long as you are willing, you can break through extremely fast even if your aptitude is inferior to others!"
No one was a true trash!
This sentence had aroused the hearts of everyone within the Steel and Raging Flame Corps.
That's right! There was no trash in this world, and as long as they strived hard and endured hardships, they could still become outstanding and stand on the pinnacle of the mainland even if their aptitude was inferior to others.
"What Master says is right," Zhong Ling'er stood out and resolution could be seen on her adorable baby face. "We are not inferior compared to those so-called geniuses. At least we are willing to invest more effort and endure more hardships than an ordinary person!"
Within this half-year's time, it was not just to the credit of the medicinal liquid that allowed the members to break through with flying speed. After all, the medicinal liquid was only a supplemental aid, and what truly caused them to grow was the blood, sweat, and tears they invested!
Six months of time, for innumerable days and nights, they had been training while neglecting their sleep and forgetting about food. No one was willing to lag behind!
It was their own efforts that had brought them to the point they were today!
After saying that, Zhong Ling'er's aura burst forth, and at the same time the others released their strength, causing the entire Imperial Palace to be shrouded in their auras.
"High-level cultivators? Ten high-level cultivators?" Gao Ling's foot retreated a few steps back and with a bang sound, his entire body had fiercely fallen against the wall. His pale expression was filled with astonishment. "How could this be? Even if you have the ability to let them become a genius from being a trash, it's simply impossible for humans to have broken through and become a high-level cultivator within a short half-year's time!"
God?
All of a sudden, this word emerged from Gao Ling's mind, as his gaze towards Yun Luofeng contained fear.
This woman was a god! Otherwise, how could she make those trash break through at such speed?
Luckily, Yun Luofeng herself was still a trash. Otherwise, the Yun Family was truly going to overturn the skies!
"Gao Ling, you moron!" Gao Tu finally recovered his senses and a fierce slap landed on Gao Ling's face.
Even if Gao Ling's reputation was notorious, Gao Tu had never raised his hands to lecture him. However, because of the unforeseen events of the Yun Family, he finally could not help but raise his hands against Gao Ling. His handsome face was incomparably ashen.
"These are the trash you had gathered for the Yun Family?"
Gao Ling's body trembled as a bitter smile hung on his lips.
He knew that regardless of how he tried to explain himself, it was useless. His Imperial Father would never believe him! In fact, the strength of this group of people was too shocking, so how could he believe they were still trash six months ago?
"Idiot, Imbecile!" Gao Tu ruthlessly trampled on Gao Ling's chest as he shouted in a stern voice. "I've always known you were silly, but I never thought you were foolish to such an extent, to actually send these people to the Yun Family! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you take charge of the matters that day!"
After lecturing Gao Ling, Gao Tu's line of sight turned towards Yun Luofeng as he coldly snorted, "Yun Luofeng, so what if you have so many high-level cultivators in your hands? The strongest within our Imperial Family is of high-level advanced rank. As soon as the news of you trespassing in the palace is known by him, he will arrive to settle you all in a moment's time. Hahaha!"
The reason he was not in the least fearful was because of the strongest cultivator within the Imperial Family! As long as he was here, no one who trespassed in the Imperial Palace could leave here unscathed!
